Notes.

The field hospital did a little bus
! inCss Wednesday afternoon but the
Camp hospital was a lonesome place
The 90. A boys Of Gardiner did soma
pretty good work in camp at Riverside
on outpost duty and they were highly
commended by Capt Ellis for wach-
fulness and general military efficiency.
The % Regiment has a lot of base
ball experts in the ranks and there Is
talk of organizing two teams to do
battle royal before the regiment breaks
camp Saturday. Several of the am
bilious twirlers put in the afternoon
yesterday in getting up steam. Chal-
lenges left with the Journal correspon-
dent at the press headquarters in the
! camp hospital will receive prompt at
tcntion.
Gus Hughes. Col Newcomb's Or
derly, who is professional actor when
not in the uniform of the guard, enjoys
the distinction Of having the best
mount in the regiment. Orderly
Hughes is member of Bath company
and his horse is certainly one that de-
serves all kinds Of praise. His rider
is an old and experienced range rider,
and has looped cattle and wild horses
out in Montana and Colorado.
The U. S. mail box at the chaplain's
tent, which has been out or commits
sion since last Saturday morning is all
ready to receive mail again.
No little credit is due the officers
and men of Co. G Of Bath for the sue
cessful attack made yesterday on the
main body. In spite of the fact that
Captain G.. A. Buker has been in COM
mand Of the company but short time
he handled his men in manner that
would have done credit to regular
army officer and succeeded In flanking
the main body.

GEMS RECOVERED,
St. Louis Laborer Finds
Jewels Worth $4,000
Stolen From English Tourists at
Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
Taken by Hindoo Servant Who Became Scar
ed and Hid Them Behind a Wall.

st. Louis, No, Aug .15.-Acting under
instructions cabled from England,
John P. O'Brien, laborer employed
in the wrecking of the Worlds Fair
buildings has unearthed an alligator
bag containing jewels valued at $50, 800
which were stolen from Mr.. and Mis-.
p. Henry Clayton of Devonshire, Eng
land, during a visit to the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition two years ago.
The jewels were stolen from a trunk
and they were not missed until the
Claytons had returned to England af-
ter a tour around the world. They
then had no means of knowing where
the jewels had been stolen. About o
month ago a Hindoo servant, who had
been in their employ during the trip
was fatally injured by an elephant in
India and on his death bed confessed
that he stole the jewels while in St.
Louis.
He said that he became alarmed and
fearing detection had dropped them
into a hole in the wall Of the Manu-
facturers' building. Later he again
wished to secure the gems but on re-
turning to the place he had secreted
them, could not reach the bottom of
the space between the plaster and he
side of the building. Fearing to make
any inquiries or ask questions, the Hill
doc departed from st. Louis with the
Claytons, leaving the jewels in their
hiding place.
O'Brien was generously rewarded and
was also employed by Mr.. Clayton as
his personal attendant.

Mrs. Benjamin Z. Gale.


Mrs. BENJAMIN F. Gale, of Flat Rocks
widow OF B. F. Gale, died Friday morn-
ing. March 23rd, after an illness OF
many months. The funeral services
were held at the late residence, inter-
mentb being in Oak Dale Cemetery on
Monday. Rev. DIR. Grinnan read the
beautiful and impressive prayers. and q
quartette from the Presbyterian
church sang. Flowers were in abun
dance, being ordered from all over the
country, and smilax and vines from the
mountains Mrs. Gale loved so well, were
largely used. :
Mrs. Gale was born In Girard, Ohio,
Aug. "a, 1850, and came here nearly 30
years ago. She is survived by five
children: Mrs. Barrows, Miss Josephine,
Mrs. Wallace Swift, r. T. Gale and
Robert T.. Gale. Mrs. Gales two sis
tiers. Miss Mollie Price and Mrs. Dollie
Lyman, with her brother, Mr.. j.. w
Price, are now residents of Pittsburg.
Mrs. Dorothy Morris, formerly large
property wner here, is deceased lady's
aunt. #9Gaik
1t is hardly necessary to say anything
about the character of Mrs. Gale. She
was known and sincerely loved by
the people of Henderson county, and to
repeat the expressions of regard heard
from those who knew her best would
simply be repeating what is already

voted mother, an ideal hostess. a Chris
tian character in it's broadcast meaning.
Possibly her chief trait was absolute
unselishness and thoughtfulness of
others.
''* y \ A blessing of kindly thought
Sweet as the breath of forget-me-not. "
Leaving Hendersonville about l5
months ago for an operation at
Lakeside Hospital, Cleveland, she re-
turned to Flat Rock September last,
when she had the accident which con
fined her to bed until her death.
The best medical attention of not only
Hendersonyille, but of Asheville, Wash
lngton and Cleveland, was had to aid
her to recovery. During her illness
here she had the untiring nursing of
her two devoted daughters, and endured
her sufferings with patience and Chris
tian fortitude, and q hope of final re-
covery which was remarkable. In all
sincerity we may say the death of this
lady is a loss to Henderson county. Her
home had ever a warm welcome for her
friends. No one in distress was ever
turned from her door. Her many kind
acts to the less fortunate
are not recorded mere but in a higher
place and we believe in her case that
death is but a turn in the road, hiding
the more beautiful cen beyond.
Deaths but a path that must be trod,
If man would ever pass to God"

Mister Mitchell put them in his hip
pocket and started off with them, when
he was detected and stopped.
The local carpenters union sent a
Representative to the Hospital Associa-
ton, to express sympathy with the work
and to ask for plans of new building,
that they might be in a position to offer
aid in lis construction. MIR. McCreary
expressed opinion that the stone ma
sons would do the same. Last donation
received was from Mr.. g. A. Hobbs, and
was most acceptable, s25 cash, and set

The silver wedding anniversary of
DR.. and Mrs. j. w. Waldrop, was a most
enjoyable occasion for the many guests
present. The Doctor and Mrs. Wal
drop were no older than on the day of
their marriage, and the many remem-
ORANGES given them assured them of
their popularity with their hundreds of
friends. We confidently look forward
to the pleasure to be derived from at
tending their golden anniversary, when
DR.. Waldrop will still be making the
rounds of his many patients, by whom
he is well-beloved.

The Blue Ridge Inn is to have an en-
tirely new porch built in front, which will
extend to the edge of the sidewalk, and
which will be a decided improvement to
Hewitt's handsome aud most popular
hostelery. The fame of the Blue Ridge is
far spread, A crowd of commercial men
in Waynesville recently, discussing the
different hotel accommodations on their
travels, were unanimous in their praise of
Hendersonville's popular hotel, both as to
the table service and accommodations
generally. All of which helps Hender-

Importance of Board Of Trade Com

The various committees named by

make every effort to fulfill the trust re

The success Dr. failure of the various
enterprises now under way for the ad-
yancement of Hendersonville lays very
largely in these committees. 1t means
work and hard work, but the prize is
worthy of some sacrifice. Capt.. Wof-
ford expects every committee hereafter
to have a definite business -like report
of some progress made.
