Special to the Soranton Tribune.
Camp Curtln. Mt. Gretna. July 12.
This was a quiet nml uneventful day
Ineamp. If the soldiers are forced to do
such duty In the future there will be no
cause for any disorder. Seven hour
today they have- marched tip hill and
down, and tonight they are tired.
This was a dreadful hot duy. yet
not withstanding that there was a two
hour drill In the morning and at 3.30 p.
m. they were ordered for regimental
di-lll. whk-h was followed y battalion
and brigade "rills. nml bv ar"9 l:ll,e
It was 7.30 when the drill ended and
when that amount of marching ts .con
sidered with the other duties such as
digging s'lnks. waiting on tables and
rninl thorn need lie no felir of the
soldiers' spirits becoming so exuneratu
as to break out In any mischief. The
dancing at the picnic was a myth as
f ir .is the soldiers were concerned, for
General Gobtn was afraid that they
would be too tired to drill.
He forbade their gains on the plat
form and 'these who ventured on were
quickly driven off. In the evening the
soldiers had the use of the parkr
A Score Overcome f'V Hent.
More than twenty members of the
brigade were overcome by the heat dur
ing the parade. Aide from the parade
there Is but little of Interest except the
rifle practice of the battery. In the
evening the band concert was largely
attended. The Thirteenth's quarters are
In better sanitary condition than any
other.
The Thirteenth was fortunate In the
appointments today. Dr. Parke Is bri
gade surgeon of the day: senior com
mander of guard. lieutenant Rubllng:
supernumary officer of guard. Lieuten
ant Benjamin; Captain Kamba-k, regl
n ental officer of guard. The Thirteenth
got all the orderlies. Lieutenant Jacob
Brooks, of the Twelfth regiment, was
officer of the day.
Arresting Bolters.
A squad of troops was sent to Leban
on today to arrest the national Guards
men who bolted from Camp Andrew
Ci. Curtln without leave. Several were
captured. The thunder storms some
what marred the evening, but all clay
the Third brigade sweltered in the
fierce heat.
The sanitary condition of Camp Cur
tln Is very good, and the -hospital ste
wards report no serious cases of Ill
ness. Battery C, of Phoenlxville, Cap
tain Denlthorne, has gone imo largei
the mile ranze. The bat
tery Is In excellent shape, and will
mike a good record during thl3 en
campment.
Every one seems to be satisfied with
the supply of food. It Is Rood, and
there Is plenty of It. Inspector General
Morrell wllll be here tomorrow.
Strong Point I Not Religion.
It must be confessed that the Thir
teenth's strong point Is not religion
That was demonstrated hy the services
conducted by Hev. N. F. Stahl on Run
day. which were attended by very few
of the guardsmen. The only excuse
for the slight attendance was the ln-
RDectlon of quarters by General Gob in
a short time before the hour fixed for
the services.
Now the boys have settled flown to
the task of extracting as much enjoy
ment out of camp lite as possible. There
nre a greater number to visitors to
Camp Curtin than to Montrose.
The value of newsrtaper advertising

visitors wererhown early Sunday morn

In a Lebanon paper on Saturday for a

35 years of age; Industrious nnd or good
habits, to act as chambermaid for Com-

applicant appeared before 'breakfast,
and three others called during the day.
