From a Staff Correspondent.
Cump Alger, Vn May 20. 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. With the com

In this regard will bo totally obliter
ated. 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. Pennsylvania, played a game
yesterday for a prize of a gallon and a
half of water. Co. F won by a score of

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,

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.

Washington, May 26. Tn a long ses

but the discussion Involved a wide
range of subject. After a brush over
civil service, brought on by a para
graph In the deficiency pension bill,
providing for some temporary clerks
in the war department, the house con
sidering a bill to amend the Internal
revenue laws, listened to lengthy
speeches from Mr. Shafroth, of Colo

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.

KLONDIKE NECESSITIES.
A Tew Polite Accoutarmenta to Tnk
Aloue With You.
Frm the Yellow Hook.
I am amazed at the popular Ignor
ance concerning a proper outfit for tho
Klondike. 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

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

and clothed, and absolutely no heed la
taken to enforce the most obvious sani

nlways wore light flannels next to the
skin, and never slept In damp clothes.
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. You may bo as wet
as posslblo it you aro on the move,
but when you stop change your wet
clothes for dry ones, socks and nil.
You will never havp thl3 fever If you
follow these easily remembered rules."
