Tho first was for the horses and tmgBiiKe, the second of thirteen cars, for tho Sec ond battalion. The rcclmcnt made what seemed a triumphal entry Into the national cap ital.

Boys Lose No Time in Preparing for Departure. Special to the Scranton Tribune. Camp Alger, Dunn Lorlng, Va Aug. 31. This is a day long to be remem bered by the boys of the Thirteenth regiment. Their enmp is the scene of the liveliest activity, excitement and enthusiasm. They are preparing to take the train which will bear them far awuy from this place of sorrow and of suffering into a land which they call home, and which has be come dearer to them every day which they spent here. Camp was a study this morning. The reveille was sounded at the usual hours, and Immediately after break fast all spent some little time In pack ing up what they more by way of a llgure of speech than with any truth call valuables. At 8 o'clock the com panies fell In for muster those of the First battalion having been mustered by Major Stlllwell, and those of the Second by Major Wood. When they wero dismissed camp presented the ideal type of a hive of industry. Seven hundred men took off their coats and went to work with a will. Knapsacks and haversacks and can teens weie made ready, and soon af terwards tho city of white canvas disappeared In an Instant, as if by magic. Tents were rolled, pegs and poles gathered, tho heavy army wag ons were pulled into place, and in the twinkling of nn eye details of sun bronzed, honest-faced, stalwart young men wero loading everything in sight, the rubbish having been placed in one heap and destroyed In a monster bon fire. Nobody minds the work, so great is the excitement and tho burnine de sire to bid adieu to Camp Alger and to Virginia. It Is expected that the trains will he ready to move at 3.30, or nt 4 o'clock. LAST HOURS AT ALGER. The last hours of camp life at this place were certainly not devoid of live ly emotions and of stirring Interest to the members of the Thirteenth. Yes terday afternoon they saw tho Eighth leave the grounds, and went to bid them good-by, promising on both sides that they would meet soon again on their own soil; but when It was an nounced at dress parade last night by Colonel Courben that we would movo today, and not tomorrow, happiness of a hitherto unknown nature pervaded the camp. In the evening the boys got out In the company streets and shouted nnd cheered till they were hoarse, quickly improvised drum corps passed back nnd forth, and all to the very last man felt proud nnd rejoiced in the fact that on tho morrow they would go to a placo more congenial to them, moro likely to be rich in pleasnnt memories, and which they could Just ly call home. After tattoo at 9 o'clock, while camp was quiet, bed was not thought of, nnd tho scene around was one of rnro magnificence. Tho rays of the bright, full moon, shining from tho cloudless, exquisite blue above, and lighting up tho cosy, white city pitched on the green sward, presented a picture which could not easily bo surpassed for its beauty. Tho boys remarked it, nnd rejoiced that, though Virginia gave them a warm reception, which was almost roasting on the night they come here, tho last night they wero to spend in this region will long le maln in their memories as ono of the richest, most perfect beauty. Sever al times when packing up their goods some of tho boys, either in a tantaliz ing or In a sentimental mood, began to sing "Carry Me Back to Old Vir ginia," and from every direction came yells full of forco and meaning: "Nit' Nit! Nit!" PATHETIC HOSPITAL SCENES. This morning thero wero several pathetic scenes enacted at division hospital. Many of the boys, even while rejoicing that they themselves were soon to get away, did not forget their sick friends, but paid n visit to them in order to bid them good-by and to offer them some words of fellow ship which would cheer them up. It Is not easy for an outsider to under Aland how strong ure the bonds which hind a soldier to his regiment. He lives with It, ho follows It, he even dtea with It-It la hla regimen and to be separated from it is his great est sorrow. It Is so in tho Thirteenth, but wo had to leave some of our men behind us this morning. The boys whn made the visit to tho hospital brought cheer to the unfortu nates in telling them that another hos pital train would tako 'them away In a day or two, to Philadelphia; still when tho time for parting came, when the sink, uncomplaining heroes felt that their eglment was going from them and they were too weak to fol low Its flag, or even to rise from their beds, they almost cried aloud. They will be all right In a few days, how ever, as they will bo taken north on another hospital train. When the Thirteenth's patients were 'taken to Philadelphia last week on thn MedIco-ChIrurgIc.il hospital train, Private Daniel Tubbs, of Company H, whs among the number. Ho was suf fering from typhoid fever, and it was then expected that he would recover shortly. Last night tho members of his company were surprised when a telegram came annnounclng his death. Ills brother, Private William Tubbs, of tho same company, was given a fur lough nnd left on the midnight train for home. This is an extremely warm day, and as the tents are down and there Is no shelter, or protection, against the sun, the boys are getting a good scorching. VALUABLE RELICS. Early on Sunday morning privates Rink nnd Lewis, of Company A, start ed oft on an extended trip through the country, heading first in the direc tion of Fairfax court house. From there they left for the famous bat tlefield of Chantllly, so well known to many of the veternns of the late war In and nround Scranton. They explored a largo part of It thor oughly. They expected to find a few relics, but wero successful beyond their expectations. The first thing they found was a bayonet In a good state of preservation; then they ran across a very long sabre without a hilt, sev eral minnle balls, bullets, an end of a bayonet scabbard, the old stylo epaulettes since superseded by the shoulder straps, and the upper part of a sabre with the brass guards of tho hilt In good condition. The most Interesting relic, however, which they found is a short dngger llke blade, about twelve or fourteen Inches in length, nnd which Is sup posed to have been used by the "Louis iana Tigers." The weapon, which Is now without a handle, would remind a person of tho Javelin of the Roman soldier, nnd is not unlike the long knives now used by members of the hospital corps in the American army. Some of the relics have letters cut In them, but, on account of the rust, It Is Impossible to decipher them. These mementoes are highly prized by their discoverers. ANCIENT ENEMIES MEET. After a Corbett-Fltztlmmons-lIke war of words for several weeks as to their respective superiority on the ball Held, Companies F and C met on tho diamond again yesterday afternoon. They met several times before, each contest resulting in favor of F'a nine. Yesterday Captain Robllng, of C, ar ranged for a game with Sergeant Robert Williams, F's manager.

After the game C's nine enjoyed a wntermelon feast at the expense of Captain Robllng. CAMP GOSSIP. G Company has a flrst-class brick oven built by one of the men.

MYER DAVIDOW, TheC5taeTto 307 This Week Our Great Suit Store Holds Its Annual Fall Opening .... 'W HEN the Ready-to-Wear Costume first appeared it was greeted I A with enthusiasm by thousands of women, who saw in. it not m only a saving of time, but a saving of money. But there " were objections. The chief objection was a marked similar ity of style. One costume was very like another, and the purchaser found herself duplicated at every street corner. Things are different now, and we have done our share iu bringing about the revolution. The objection of duplication has not been fully re moved as a whole, but it has been entirely eliminated from this store. There is no point in which we are so particular as in this matter of cxclusiveness of style. The gowns you find here have no duplicates elsewhere. The first thing you'll notice will be the jaunty, snappy, tasteful, stylish air about them. The next thing will be the exquisite finish and detail of their manu facture, made as they should be made. Made as you like to have them made. The materials are Coverts, Broad Cloths and Cheviots, in the season's new shades. Most of the suits are fully silk lined, some tight-fitting, others in double-breasted or reefer effect. The skirts are made iu all the new shapes.
