Camp Algor. Vn Muy 21. 'Henry A.
Coursen, Comnuindur Third DiIbiuIo,
First division, Second army corps," is
the way in which the Thirteenth'1
popular and efllclent loloncl now sub
scribes himself. Major General Gra
ham In orpianlzlnff his foices today
lirlcaded the Eighth, Twelfth and
Thirteenth Pennsylvania and appointed
Colonel Coursen as acting brigadier
central. The other Pennsjlvanla regi
ment, the Sixth, Colonel Pchall com
manding, was left unattached, and by
reason of this Colonel Com sen came In
for the signal honor of being selected
to the highest military position ever
held by a Pcrantonian.
The appointment was a surprise to
everybody. It was not expected that
Keniortty In the National Guard service
would be a recognized factor In the
securing of the big plum. It was not
considered. The fact that Colonel
Coursen was a captain In the civil war
is what won Iilm that position. Colonel
Coryell, of the Twelfth, was Colonel
Coursen's senior In the National Guard,
but did not serve in the Civil war.
Colonel Hoffman, of the Eighth, Haw
more service In the rebellion than did
Colonel Couisen, but he was only a
private.
Major C. It. I'aike, the Thirteenth's
chief surgeon, was honored with the
position of bilgadier suigeon. Regi
mental Adjutant L C. Mattes vas
named as adjutant general by "Gen
eral" Coursen and Lieutenant Colonel
C. C. Mnttes, who succeeded to the
command of the Thliteenth, detailed
Lieutenant J. D. Dais, of Company
V, as regimental adjutant. Tomorrow
and for ten days following, Major F
W. Stlllwell will hae charge of the
leglment. Colonel Mattes Inning gone
homo on a fui lough.
HOSPITAL CORPS CHANGES.
Suigeon Oeneial Glrard's arrange
ments in legal d to the hospital eoips
will not depose any of the surgeons, as
was Hi st announced. One surgeon will
1 emain with each regiment and the
other two will bo afcslgned to duty at
the division hospital. The regimental
hospital corps will be done away with
and a Mngle steward and orderly will
be the only force the regimental sur
geon will have nt his command. A
company of 101) men selected fiom the
different regiments will do the hospital
work for the whole division This will
decrease the hospltnl detail to about
three per tent, of the entire command
and wilt make It much more effective.
Tin eo men who were loafing about
the camp all day yesterday were taken
Into custody last night and are being
held on suspicion of being spies. One
of tiiein is a Spaniard. He ghes his
name as Narlano Sato Maor and
claims he i a Cuban lefugee. He ex
hibited a type wiltten dlschaigo fiom
the Insurgent army, where, he says, he
served as a bugler. The second, H. K.
McDavets, who claims to be un Ameri
can, showed a discharge from the
United States army. The third, W. II.
Struhs, Is a German and says he only
tamo along to Interpret for the Span
lard. Mayor and McDavets tried to
enlist in a colored company. Mayor
was extremely anxious to get In. This
fact and the discovery that he could
talk English and that he could not blow
a bugle, though his alleged discharge
from the Cuban army made him out a
bugler, led to the arrest being made.
Private Sparks who it was last night
feared had contracted typhoid, Is now
ptonounced out of all danger of the
dread disease. It developed today that
hla fever was not of a typholdal nature.
It left him almost entirely and this
afternoon he was permitted to eat the
hospital diet. The spring from which
tho Thirteenth received its water sup
ply was condemned this morning owing
to the close proximity of the stables
and sewer. The water is now boiled
before being used.
Today was extremely hot until after
the usual afternoon shower. Ilattallon
driltfl were conducted at five o'clock.

GOSSIP OP THE CAMP.
foraging expedition. It oocuned to tho
sergeant that eomo wicked Mddtcr
might "confiscate unto tho state" the
strayed chicks so, out of tho good
ness of his heart ho began to gath
er them in with th Intention of pre
venting such a possibility. The far
mer saw the operation from a distance
nnd misconceiving the eergeant's pur
pose, ran into the house and secured
his gun.
When the sergeant saw the farmer
making towards him with a gun, he be
came frightened and ran. In his fright
nnd flight ho forget to drop two of the
chlokens, which he had succeeded In
carrolllng and the farmer attributing
base motives to the sergeant, opened
lire. Luckily the distance was too
great for the gun's range and the ser
geant reached tho cover of tho woods
In safety. He is in a sore predicament,
howeer, for he fears to go back with
the little chicks that he thoughtlessly
carried away in his excitement.- He
proposes to keep them until they ere
big enough to find their way home
and then l dense them providing, of
coureo that nothing happens to tliPtn
before he can cany out his laudablo
intentions.
The "old veteran" who "drank out
of that same spring thirty eais ago"
is on the ground In laige numbers.
Ho invail.ibly adds that he has since
refonned.
It lo remarkable how quickly a man
can accommodate himself to his sur
roundings, particularly a military man
One would think, to look at the con
tented miens of the soldier lads Using
from a refreshing sleep on a pallet or
straw and eating his meal from a "tin"
on his knees, that ho neer even lead
of wprlngs and hair mattreses or
china, cut glass and silver. 13oys who
when home would grumble at a damp
napkin, unconcernedly pick up from
the giass the hunk of salt pork that
accidentally slid off their "tin" and
after brushing off the nccummulatlona
of the contact with Mother Earth pio
ceed to put tho truant on the right
track,
Tho Thirteenth is utilizing its re
cruits entirely for guard duty, deem
ing this actual expeiience the best kind
of dilll. Another Innovation Is the se
lecting of orderlies from the com
panies In rotntlon, the captain of the
appointed company making the selec
tion. This It is expected will Increase
the rivalry for tho honor of being
named for orderly as It Is more of ,i
distinction to bo picked out as the
neatest man In a company than In
a guard-mount squad.
Several of "the Thirteenth's young
oITlceis have their caps set for a place
on Geneial Graham's staff, or a pei
manent place nt division headquarters,
in a general capacity. Down at Chat
tanooga, the volunteers aie leeolvlng
their full share of these much coselcd
honors nnd it is felt here that ouneral
Graham will likewise mfUe use of hl
opportunities of making a hit with the
volunteers. There is only one sub
ordinate position more desirable thun a
snug berth on a major general's staff
and that is commissary with n carie
blanche in these das of big contiacts
and confusion.
Although tho water heio has a cloudy
appearance, and, it Is said, a biaeklh
taste, the surgeons of the various regi
ments who have examined It find that
It Is In no way unwhoUFome and aie
perfectly satisfied that If it does not
become contaminated theio will be no
dangeious lesulu attending Its u-e
Their only rrecent fear Is that the
sources aie not deep enough to escape
the surface nnd "Ink diainnge, but the
fear will be obliterated with the com
pletion of the water marks now under
way as the reservoir Is to bo on high
ground a good distance fmm the camp
and the artesian wells will bo sunk
to a good depth The authorities are
to be commended on the manner In
which this work Is being pushed, espe
cially In view of the fact that the
greater the haste tho more open the
confession of previous mismanage
ment. The beautifying of the camp with
young fir tu, out of the neighbor
Ing woods nnd set up In fiont of tent3
and In recesses of the company streets,
continues to be one of the favorite
time-killing Indulgences. In addition
to being' ornammtal they are fragrant
and on hot days help keep off the red
hot ras of the southern sun If the
tiansplantlng process continues at the
rate It began and the icglment remains
heie for the summer the camp will be
a very picturesque place.
It ha rained here every day so far
hut It was a shower In each instance
lather than a storm and consequently

cepting that It brought into existence

of Illlnola has purchased and sent to
Camp Alger, Va., a largo number of
cots, blankets and other camp requi
sites for use of one of the Illinois
regiments rendezvoused there. This
thoughtful act was the ontcomo of a
visit made by the senator to tho camp
yesterday, when the need of theso ar
ticles was forcibly brought to his at

during the day tendering the placo
more or less uncomfortable.

The public meeting In the evening at
the Lvceum was attended by a largo
audience. The programme wa- a fine
one. The lower floor and balconj were
occupied and In the gallery not many
vacant seats were to be seen. The
delegates occupied the orchestral circle.
The lower boxes were filled with cler
gymen who aro delegates Chairs were
arranged In seml-ciivular rows on tho
stage for the state officers, speakers,
and a male choir selected from the
Saengerrunde. Llederkranz, Arlon nnd
St Mary's Glee and Diamatlc asso
ciation, Michael Kramer opened the meeting
with an address of welcome. He took
occasion to say that tho Catholics are
second to none In patriotism and loy
alty to our country. Ho Introduced
rather Christ as chairman. Father
Christ made a short address of thanks
for the honor confoned, and said he
was authorized to convey the regrets
of Bishops O'Haia and Hoban for be
ing unable to bo present.
COMBINED CHOIRS SANG.
The combined choirs of St. Mary's
church and of St. John's church. Hyde
Park, marched upon the stage and sang
the one hundredth psalm w Ith splen
did effect. Tho audience wanted an
encore, but the length of the pro
gramme would not permit It.
Rev. F. W. Longinus, of Pottsvllle,
wns introduced and his subject was
"To Whom Does the Education of a
Child Belong'" His view of the sub
ject was that the education of the child
belongs to the parent first, and nfter
that to the teacher The children
should be given religious instiuctlon
dally. It Is not enough that thev be
Instructed at Sunday school. That Is
not sufficient. If their religious In
struction is not kept up dally they aro
very llablo to giow Indifferent.
Catholics, he said, are willing to pay
their public school tax They do not
nsk to be exempted fiom it, when they
build parochial schools. Tho anti
Catholics oppose the Catholic pntochlal
schools and allege that they are dan
gerous to the liberty of American In
stitutions That is a base and slan
derous charge. The Catholic religion
teaches every one of its sons to obey
the government under which they live,
and to defend It with their lives, ho
remarked. Why then should the Im
parting of religious instruction tend
toward antagonism to American Insti
tutions? He said Catholics are willing
to lay tho lives of their chlldien on the
altars of our country, but they will not
give up their parochial schools
Dr. J. C. Hlercholzer, of Allegheny,
spoko on the Importance of bringing
the young men into the societies at an
early age. He said It Is the duty of
every father to have his son a mem
ber of tho society In his parish. That
is the only way In which the perpetua
tion of tho organization can be as
sured. The male choir sang a chorus well
and was enthusiastically applauded.
Prof, Ackerman led the choir. Bauer's
orchestra played tho accompaniment.
KKV. WILNKS' ADDRESS,
Tho concluding number on the pro
, gramme was an address by Rev. J.

And Consider the All-Important Fact
That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you arc confiding1
your private ills to a syoman a woman whose experi
ence in treating: woman's diseases is
greater than that of any living phy
sician male or female.
You can talk freely to a woman
when it is revolting to relate your
private troubles to a man besides, a
man does not understand simply be
cause he is a man.
Many women suffer in
silence and drift along from
bad to worse, knowing full
well that they ought to
have immediate assist
ance, but a natural
modesty impels them to
shrink from exposing
themselves to the questions
and probably examinations
of even their family physi
cian. It is unnecessary.
Without money or price you
can consult a woman
whose knowledge from
actual experience is
greater than any local
physician. The fol
lowing invitation is
freely offered ; ac
cept it in the same
spirit :
MRS. PINKHAM'S
STANDING INVITATION;
Womt. suffering from any form of female weakness are invited
to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All
letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. A
woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman ; thus has
been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and
the women of America which has never been broken. Out of tho
vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more
than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help
your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and
her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she docs not take advantage of this generous
offer of assistance.
