Notes About Camp.

EVERYTHING Is now in readiness Tor
the reception of the LIST Regiment. AT
Camp Cobb. The company streets pre-
sent spick and span appearance ana
the entire camp has been left IN the
best possible shape by Col. Newcomos
orders.
One of the members of the "a
Battalion "bucked" about going on
guard the last night in camp. but he
thought better of it after the company
sergeant had told him the consequences
in picturesque terms. The man claim
ed to have served in the regular army
for about two years previous to his en-
listment in the Guard but his action in
refusing to do duty. or talking back to
his superior officers does not show his
supposed military training. Regular
army men as a rule do what they are
told first and then kick afterward
where it will bring fruit.
Tho boys received u pretty square
feed to start them on their homeward
journey, yesterday, having for their
morning meal, potatoes cooked with
skins OIL and peal them yourself.
scrambled eggs. white bread, hard
bread, cucumbers, coffee and dough-
nuts. Enough to satisfy the ordinary
mortal.
One Of the men of Co. c, was injured
early, yesterday morning. by a green
apple thrown over the tents and strik-
ing him in the eye.
Many friends of the boys passed the
last night in camp as guests Of the SOL
der boys.
Many applications for enlistment
have been received by company COM
manders during the last week. AMI
some companies have succeeded in Sc
curing as many as 10 new men. This
is another Of the fruits of the annual
encampments and serves to keep inter-
est up.
One of the members of Co. b. has Il
| hard problem to figure out according
| to his way of thinking. He would like
to know how much a militia man
makes by going to muster. First he re-
ceives $l.25 a day for five days. Value
in cash S625. He loses a weeks pay,
estimated variously from 50 to SIS. pays
company dues of say 81 and spoils Il
pair of shoes worth IS. Question, How
much do we make?

terday, to see the boys wend their way
homeward.
Practically all of the officers of the
Cd Regiment have left the precincts of
Camp Cobb and Col. Lucius H. Kendall
of Biddeford, is now in command of the
camp.
Captain Blaine Owen acted as the Of
flee of the day. yesterday, until the
breaking up of camp.
The guard detail for the list Regi-
ment. after they have arrived in camp,
today, will be: Captain William c.
Goodwin, Co. X, Brunswick, officer of

| ly, Co G of Biddeford, officer of the
guard.
The boys did not present quite such a
clipper appearance as they marched
| down Water street, yesterday, as they
| did when they entered Camp Cobb, a
week ago
The members of Co. A furnished a
| fine concert while waiting for inspec-
| ton, yesterday. singing "Farewell'
with considerable feeling.
eff mother could see me now, she
never would want a hero in the fam

NEGRO TURNING WHITE,
Stamford Man. Covered with Patches
Of Caucasian Fairness. 5'

Stamford. Conn.,, Aug. 11-Edward
Kennedy. negro, Of this city, is turn
ing white. His hands and a good part
OF his face are white as those of any
American born Caucasian, and the con-
t-ast is so great as to ares. attention.
The change has been going on now for
six years. 1t began at the finger tips
and gradually every bit of the hands
became white until today Mr. Ken
nedy's forearms are perfectly white.
The same thing is true of his face in
the vicinity of the mouth, the chin and
the neck. The space about the eyes is
perfectly white and gives him a some
what grotesque appearance. Behind
the ears there is a circle of white and
Kennedy says that his entire body con-
tains patches of white skin. Kennedy
Is just as much at loss to account for
it as is the ordinary observer.
Edward Kennedy was born In New
York at No. 9 King ST.. i'm 1S41. His
father, Thomas Kennedy. was janitor
OF the City Hail Building IN New York.
Kennedy has two sisters living in New.
York Mrs. Robert Davis and Mrs.
Jacob Pelham.
Kennedy came to Stamford when bs
was six years old, and just as soon as
ne was able to work adopted the life of
a fisherman and oysterman. For thirty
years he lived about the shore front
here. About twenty years ago he en-
tered the restaurant business, his pres
ent occupation. While in Stamford he
has had but one serious Illness. abou.
twenty-five years ago. He was sick
some little time then from bilious fever
IN the last ten years ne has not been
Ill day. He believes his freedom from
Illness is the result % preparation Of
herbs he brews ana takes twice each
week. He also believes that the con-
tinued use Of this preparation may
nave something to do with his change
of color. Physicians who were asked
about the matter here said the herbs
had nothing to do with 4.
Medical men agree that the change of
color is due to loss of pigment in the &
blood.
Kennedy said today: II am not sick
and have lost no sleep worrying over
the change in my color. 1t has been
going on for six years, and of late the
white patches have been coming out
quite rapidly, I am sixty-fve years old
and feel perfectly we'll. and sometimes
L feel that I shall live long enough to
see myself a white man." 81,
