Saturday Will bo a groat day In the camp. Pres ident McKlnlev and tho Ktate pay for the Pennsylvania troops are expected on that day. There Is to lie a corps re view In honor of the president. It will take place on a fnnn about a mllo and a half to tho west of tho camp. Tomorrow morning' at 9 o'clock a practice review Is to ho conducted by General Graham that the soldiers may have a little (schooling in the big man oeuverings before passing under the eyes of the commander-in-chief. The distribution of uniforms and equipment to the various companies was begun today and by tomorrow night it is ex pected all the men will have been llttcd out. Tho order for dally routine was Is fcued this morning. The first call Is at Cin a. in., and taps nre sounded a,t 9.30 p. m .There Is threo and one-half hour of drill and Instructions in tho morn ing and the same in the afternoon. Tho only leisure the soldiers will have Is a half hour at 7.!!0 a. m., nn hour before noon mess, half an hour at 2.30 p. m., an hour before supper and whatever time there remains between tho con clusion of the C.30 j). in. lres parade and tho 9.15 p. in. call "to quarters. It is the hardest routine any of the eoldlers hero ever saw prescribed, and it Is being viewed with especial anxiety by tho men who expect to have sore arms as a result of the- vaccinations which have been going on for the past two days. A squad composed of Jive men and a corpora! from each company in the corps was sent out today mak ing roads and building tillages. Thera was a heavy lain tills morning and the day Is decidedly cool. MORE imiGADHCRS. The completion of the First division of General Graham's corps demands the appointment of three more briga diers. The nominations are hourly ex pected. I can state on as good as ofile lal information that General Wyllo will be one of thu three. His appointment vas agreed upon last Monday morning and his nomination papers prepared fur transmission to the senate. Some thing has developed to delay the an nouncement of the nominations, but I am given to undei stand that the delay v HI in no wise affect General Wylle's ultimate appointment. General Gobln, according to the story I heard, Is not to receive any kind of recognition. Some utterances, of a quat-i-deliant nature, which are attrib uted to him, reached the cars of Mr. McKlnley and the general in conse quence will bo Ignored, entirely. A fctory I heard In Washington to day la Interesting enough per se to re peat to Scranton readers, despite the fact that It is not to be credited. It Is that Colonel Coursen is being boomed for permanency In the brigade com mand which General Graham has tem porarily assigned to him. General Sewall, who Is his close personal friend and It Is said distant relative, and At torney General Gregg, who was his room-mate at college, nre his rumored friends at court. Colonel Coursen laughed when tho matter was broached to him nnd requested "for heaven's sake don't put nnythlng like that In the papers." OFFICIAL INSPECTION. To put a stop to the various ground less rumors about the unhealthlness of Camp Alger, Surgeon General Guard nnd the threo brigade surgeons. Majors Farquhar, AHers and Parke, made a thorough personal Investigation Into the condition, of the men and now an nounce that the bad sanitary condi tions that nre alleged to prevail among the troops hero aro totally untrue. The health of the enmp Is even bet ter than the avcrago for cities of simi lar size, not to say anything of mili tary encampments. They admit that there was danger of disease in the scant and none too wholesome water supply, but this danger has been re moved by the closing up of springs In which the water was found to be of questionable quality and the Issuing of stringent orders to boll the water of Bprings that by reason ot their prox imity to sinks or stables might pos slbly txs contaminated.

Cases of contngloiiB or Infectious dis eases nre Isolated at tho Fort Myer hospital, tho men are being vaccinated, dally Inspections are made of tho hos pitals and everything else that would tend to protect tho health of the camp Is being diligently attended to. General Graham today established himself In his new quarters on a com manding elevation to the east of the camp. Tho old Woodburn Manor, which was first occupied as headquar ters, will bo continued as a station for the commissary, Captain Little. Quar termaster Martin has his headquarters established at Dunn Luring station, where all supplies for the camp nre un loaded. Tho vnrlous liendqunrters aro to bo connected with telegraph and telephone and a special wire run from General Graham's quarters to the war department. ARMY WAGONS. Fifty army wagons with a double team of mules to each have been de livered at camp and will be distributed among the regiments In due course of time. At present they will be used In carting goods from the quartermaster's station at Dunn Loring und In dis tributing rations from the commis sary's department. The wagons much resemble the ordinary two-ton coal wagons so common In Scranton. The main difference is that they are sup plied with a horse-shoe canopy of white canvas. The body of the wagons Is painted green and the gearing red. They are manufactured by the Colum bia Wagon company, of Columbia, Pa. Tho women of Washington und par ticularly those of the Loyal Legion uro nobly caring for tho sick;. They generously supply each regimental hos pital with home-made Jellies, broths, fruits and flowers and personally visit those who are conllnod to bed. Con gressman Hill's wife has spent the last threo dujvt nursing two boys ut Fort Meyer hospital. Other prominent women have offered to take three or four patients to their homes In Wash ington and have them cared for by a trained nurse. Others have offered to pay for the services of trained nur se to assist tho hospital stewards. The soldier boy' friends at home need not worry but that if they fall they will be well cared, in fact as well as they possibly could be If they were In their own homes. The weather continues temperate, the thermometer seldom exceeding eighty live degrees. The maximum for the twenty-four hours ending at sun down yesterday was SI degrees and the min imum 63. Healthier or more pleasant weather for out-door living could not be desired. When the warmer weather does come, it will be half-gladly re ceived as the soldiers, are confidently counting on going to the tropics and will accept the scorching as a desi rable necessary part of the gradual ac climatization which the war depart ment planned when it mobilized nearly all tho troops In the sunny southland. THE SECOND DIVISION. A second division Is to be organized upon the arrival of the regiments from Missouri and two from Michigan which are expected today or tomorrow. These regiments and the commands now here unattached, the Sixth, Penn sylvania; One Hundred and Ffty Ninth, Indiana, and the Ninth, Ohio, will com prise the new dlvlslun. The two divi sions will number about 10,000 men. IJy an arrangement between the war and postolllee departuicntu, a sub postollice Is to be established in each regiment with the chaplain aa post master. A quarter of a mllo of refreshment booths and notion stores have suddenly sprung up along the pike nt the en trance to the camp. Five-cent pies are the principal article of trade. A delegation of women came up from Washington yesterday to protest ngalnst the canteen being kept open on Sunday. They were courteously re ceived by Gpneral Graham but he did not give their mission any encourage ment. A hospital corps from Fort Mellenry lion been sent hero to train the volun teer hospital corps. Captain Kambeek, of Company B, is acting as adjutant of tho First battal ion during Major Stlllwell's Incumben cy of the position of colonel. Captain FeUows, of Company F, was oilicer of the day yesterday, and Lieu tenant Keith, of Company A, comman der of the guard. Private Bernard Ilnggerty Company C, was headquarters orderly yesterday. This is tho third time he has been se lected during the present tour of duty. Today Captain Corwln, of Company H, Is otheer of tho day, and Lieutenant Harrington, of Company G, comman der of the guard. Ma lor Wnlter A. Wood, of the Rec ord battalion, is acting todny as divis ion commander of the guard. Mrs. H. A. Courben arrived yesterday afternoon from Scranton to make a prolonged visit. She will stop at a farm house only a short distance from the Thirteenth's camp. I.all teams from Company F. Thir teenth, Pennsylvania, and Company K, Twelfth.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE REVIEW Distribution of Clothes anil Supplier Will Itecln nt Once. Washington. May 26. Preparations nre making at Camp Alger for a re view of the Second army eoriis by President McKlnley, Secretary Alger and other olllcials here next Saturday. There will be a general review tomor row In preparation for this event. It is understood that tho distribution of clothing and supplies will begin at once. This distribution probably will re quire several days. The Sixth Penn sylvania, One Hundred and Forty ninth Indiana and Twelfth Pennsylva nia require almost everything In the way of equipment. Tho Seventh Ohio requires a complcto outfit except fifty guns. Orders were Issued today fixing hours for camp duties and forbidding sol diers to go beyond one mile from camp. There has been no Increase in the sick list. Tho hospital corps la In good working order. IRON AND STEEL TRADE, IMg Iron Is Moving 1'iealyHtssl 1111 lot Show .Morn Hrciiglh. Pittsburg, May 26. Tho American Manufacturer will say tomorrow: Nothing like an Importunt chango In tho Iron and steel trade 1b noticeable at any point thl week. Tho general course of business remains tho same. Everything Is still nffeoted by war con ditions to some extent, but business nppcars to bo going on with a grad ual Improvement. In the eastern dis trict the pig Iron market shows noth ing new, although foundrymen are In creasing their purchases of first clasa Iron. Moro Iron generally Is being sold. Steel billets show more strength but merchant Iron Is dull. There 1 still a very good demand for plate and tank material. In tho Chicago market con ditions aro practically unchanged. Pig Iron la moving freely In small lots and prices are being llrmly held. Thero is a fair cull for sheet Iron, and largo contracts for structural material aro In tho near future. At Cincinnati thcro Is a moderately good trade In pig Iron In small lots. The demand for bar lion has fallen off materially and tho balance of tlio market remains un changed. Cleveland reports a Blow pig Iron market and bar Iron accumu lating at the mills. Structural mater ial, outside of plates, remains rather quiet. At Wheeling no material change 1 noticeable, and tho trade still shows a ratner weak demand and no change In prices. IRON PIPG TKUST FORMED. .Southern Companies .11 not With a HIr Capitalization.

Information received at the Armenian colony here showH that an entire Klondike party of seven men from this city und Haver hill, Mass., were drowned by the break ing of the lee in Frazler Lake on May 2. Five of the men were from Nashua and two from Haverhill. They left here March 4 and wero last heard from April 9, when they were Just leaving for the lake. ANCIENT KK.HEDIES. Alchemy uud tSiiparstltinn Fiopojed Momu Ridiculous Compound. From the London Spectator. It Is strange to notice the great ba llet' which the ancients appeared to have In the restorative properties of human blood. So, for epilepsy, diseases of the brain, nnd even for spleen, hu man blood was much recommended. "In the month of May take a consid erable quantity of healthy young men's blood." The blood was distilled twice and dried In tho sun. One wonders what the "healthy young men" had to say on this subject of blood-letting, especially as "a considerable quantity" was taken. In olden times no one need remain wrinkled. All that was necessary was to "smear the face with a mixture of water and the pounded root of wild cucumber." If nny one was nlllicted with freckles It was his own fault: the remedy was simple If scarcely pleasant; lie must "rub a bull's gall on the face." To us who are apt to be irritated by dust or smoke In tho eye while on the ra.lway the fol lowing prescription should be valuable: "Chant the psalm 'Qui habitat' thrice over water, with which ttvn douche the eye." A certain remedy for curing an inebriate was to give him ns many eggs of the screech owl boiled hard us he could possibly eat, when he would ever after be a total abstainer. This is surely worthy the attention of the tem perance societies. The search for "the philosophers stone" seems to have been no mere craze of the unlettered. Men of unimpeachable ability and great learning wasted the greater pan of their lives on tills quest. Some suppos ed mercury to be the chief transmuting force! otliein thought that by sulphur the bodies of metals could be turned Into "the most line pure gold and sil ver." 'though Bacon was a lirm be liever In trie elixir vitae, Paracelsus was the most diligent inquirer after this wondrous liquid. Ho prepared a remedy called "Primum Ens Melissne," which was made of pure earbonate of potah nnd the fresh leaves of tho mellssa plant, on which was poured pure alcohol. Generally, however, the Idea seems to have been that the elixir of life was composed of the four ele ments blended together. BabyBadly Afflicted with Eczema. Medical Treatment Usolcss.

I have before mo several newspaper lists of articles necessary for tho outfit. The longest contains only three hundred nnd forty-seven Items. How ridiculously Inadequate! ' Now, I Hatter myself that I know something about the matter. I have been hunting for gold all my life, al though I have seldom obtained any thing better than silver nnd dirty bank bills. Moreover, I was a miner for a number of. years. I can mention a KKWMMWMJMJIWK i c For sc Violiets, one and ' a half dozen to the bunch.

Prices especially reduced to meet a popular demand on a that will surprise you: for 12c Or gandies, Mulls, Dimi ties & Lawns 7n (w 1, X"AU"aA'44WAWA"4"A'a'4'4 number of things that should bo ndded to those lists, und which nre just as useful ns half tho articles now on them. In the first place, take along your full-dress suit. Gold hunting is ad venture pure nnd simple, and almost every adventurer I have seen wears a full-dress suit. In fact, often he pos sesses no other. Cigarettes should be added to go with the dress suit; also patent leathers and monocle. The lat ter is also useful while actually look ing for the gold. None of the lists mention whiskey. Take lots of It. It Is weary work' wait ing for the Eold to turn up, nnd you want to pass awny the time as hap pily as possible. There Is no danger attending its use, for ns soon as you Und gold you can take the gold cure. Take along at least twenty pounds of axle grease to rub on the runners of your sled. It will make the sled slip over the snow easily. Moreover, you can eat it If your grub runs short. Every list I have seen contains a cooking stove. Remember that you cannot cook oyer a camp fire. For the same reason you should take along a large base-burner heating stove. A camp fire wouldn't keep you warm. In the days of '49 every miner camp was supplied with steam or furnace heat. However, you can't expect to llvo ns luxuriously as they did. Tako along plenty of canned goods. A rich and varied menu Is essential. Don't forget a good cook book. There Is not a cowboy's camp or miner's cabin in nil the west that Is not sup plied with one of these aids to civil ization. Take along plenty of linen, as there nre few laundries en route, nnd don't forget your nighty. You have got to sleep there just as you would any where else. A bath robe is also an aid to modesty if you Intend to bathe dur ing your sojourn in Alaska. You will soon discover that there are some that bathe, but there are others. Take along plenty of cards and games. Progres sive euchre parties are all the rage in Dawson City. Likewise take a good library, an encyclopaedia and an un abridged dictionary. Don't forget your silk hat. Take along plenty of starch for your linen. In the days of the Argonauts men suffered keenly because of a lack of cleansing material. One of the sad dest songs of the old days, at which every forty-niner used to weep, began as follows: Good-bye. old stnndlng collar, With all your pride and starch. 1'Vii worn you from September Till the seventeenth of March. Also, don't forget to take along a small sack of flour and a few pounds of bacon. IM.INV SEASON IN CUBA. Said to Ho Moit Charming of Year. Epidemics Duo to Negligence. Vrom the St. Louls-Ulobo-Democrat. William T. Hornaday, chief natural ist of the Smithsonian Institution, has spent nearly ten years in East India, Borneo, and Sumatra Jungles collect ing rare animals, birds, insects, and serpents for the Smithsonian. lie Is the only white man who ever lived among the head hunters of Borneo. "All this talk of the danger In Cuba of the rainy season, yellow fever, etc.. Is greatly exaggerated." Mr. Hornaday said today. "Because the Spanish army has lost so heavily, many uninformed persons fear that the country would be ns fatal to newly arrived Americans as It wns to green Spaniards. The Span ish troops I saw were wretchedly fed and clothed, and absolutely no heed la taken to enforce the most obvious sani tary regulations. Then the food, cloth ing, medicines, everything the men should have to live upon, Is furnished by contractors, who stand In with tho ofllcers nnd simply stnrve the poor sol tilers Into disease and death.

Whatever else I might have to do with out, two changes of flannel underwear besides that I had on, were always at hand. Take from six to live grains of quinine every morning In a cup of hot coffee If vou have it; if not, then In hot water. Have your shoes to tit you, even if you must buy them yourself, though the United States Is furnishing Its troops with an excellent marching shoe. With these precautions and a dose of some light laxative twice a week, there need be no more fear of fever in Cuba than there Is in Mis souri." Mr. Morrillas, a Cuban born, nnd for some years an assistant surgeon In the United States navy, now In the Marino hospital service In the tropics, said today: "The rainy season, as It Is called cut of Cuba. Is to Cubans the most chnrming season of tho year. It begins generally about the middle of May and lasts to the middle ot Sep tember. It usually rains In the after noon and sometimes tho fall Is very heavy nnd accompanied by such thun der and lightning as one never knows outside the tropics. It generally stops at sunset, which is simply unspeakably grand In Its cloud effects. I rarely ever have known It to rain nt night. It Is this so-called rainy season that gives llf and vigor to tho growing vegeta tion and makes our sugar and tobacco crops what they are. l'y eating well conked food and eschewing over-indulgence in the fruits of tho country, usually so tempting to strangers, nl ways sleeping under some sort of shel ter and not on the bare ground. tUe green Yankee from New Hampshire hills may laugh at the bogy of the 'rainy season' and the yellow fever. It is well for the unaccllmated man the flr.it threo months of his stuv to take from three to six grains of quinine every morning nnd a mild purgative say twice a week.
