NEW CAMP SITE
HA3 MANY THINGS TO IlECOM

Wot tho Least of These Are Turo,
Wholesomo Water and 1'alrly Good
Facilities for Bathing, Which
Wcro Not to Do Had In Virginia.

Scarcity of rood.
Bpcclal to the Scrarton Tribune.
Camp acorgo It. Mendc, Mlddlctown,
In., Sept. 4. Tho Thirteenth regiment
is now fettled In Its new camp site
within the confines of its own glorious
Btato and tho hoys arc In no way dis
pleased over the chance. They left
Virginia, where so many of them suf
fered, with few pangs of regret. The
health of tho boys lias been good since
reaching here. A good supply of leu
would be hailed with great Joy by nil
the boys.
The trip north was one which the
boys will remember for many years to
come. At tho Dunn Lorlng depot, ns
they were taking tho cars assigned
them, a large delegation of the coun
try people around had gathered to give
the Thirteenth a send-off. During our
stay there the Pennsylvania troops
were undoubtedly the most popular In
camp; and, of tho Pennsylvanlans, tho
Scranton boys were the recipients of
the greatest amount of friendship and
hospitality on tho part of tho people of
Virginia. "While the boys have many
unpleasant recollections of life nt Camp
Alger durinc those one hundred and
eleven days which they spent there,
still they left Virginia with very high
ideas of the kindly, hospitable spirit of
Its people.
Tho reception whleh was accorded tho
Thirteenth nt "Washington simply took
the boys by storm. During the after
noon they had worked hard, nnd, after
a two hours' ride to Washington be
hind an engine which sent forth vol
umes of soft coal smoke, and the win
dows nil raised, they all looked moie
llko miners than anything1 else, and
when the train stopped on Maryland
nvenue, opposite Potomac hall, they
were leaning out the windows and ask
ing the passersby where they could get
something to eat To their surprise
nnd satisfaction they weie marched
across the avenue to tho hall, and were
seated at tables on the second floor,
whcie they enjoyed not only the neces
sities, but even tho luxuries of life.
HAD A OOOD WASH.
Soap and towels were furnished, and
many of the boys had tho first good
wash which they enjoyed for some
time. Then they were ushered Into the
dining hall, and will not soon forget
the supper which they enjoyed at the
expense of the pension olllce Ladles'
IJelief association. Nothing was to be
desiied In quantltv or In quality, and,
to add still moio to the comfoit of the
nien.several of the ladles were thought
fully posted at Intervals and fanned
them while they ate supper.
Two or three of the boys who -were
sick and did not leave the tialn, le
celved special attentions. The mem
bers of the Thirteenth regiment were
as delighted as they were purprlsed,
and certainly did not fail to duly ap
pioelate m much true womanly kind
ness on the part of tho ladies of the
pension olllce. Tlneo vlgoious, heait
lelt Pennsylvania cheers attested their
thanks, and for blocks around brought
the people to the depot.
At ISaltlmore the t'nion depot and
the massive bridge at the end of It
jitescntcd a scene of rare Interest and
beauty. Inside the gates there was
not a spare inch of room, nnd on the
bildge all tr.illle was hiispended. Hun
ilteds of little children, girls clad in
w bite, were given the front places, and
behind them were thousands of men
and women who smiled, waived hand
kerchiefs and eheeied. Coffee for the
night was served, and as the train
pulled out from the depot, the patriotic
fen or of tho people i cached its height.
It was a splendid ovation.
Prom Paltimoro to Mlddletown It was
the same stoiy, but the demonstrations
weio on a smaller scale; and even In
little hamlets, contrary to the usual
custom, people weie up and eheeied us
as we passed nlong till as Into as 12
o'clock at night. When the tialn
ciossed tho line nnd tho bovs were
notified that they were In Pennsylvania
three long, sincere cheers were given
"lor fJod's count! y."
THEY RHACHCD THE CAMP.
At Hnrrlsburg the tialn ciossed the
river, passing thence by way of Steel
ton, and was finally landed on the
switch a few miles above Mlddlctown,
on the lines of the Pennsylvania rail
road at 2 o'clock this morning Through
the dense fog which clung close to the
ground they could see by the light of
ihe moon the long rows of tents In
the dlHtance, and observe the sentries
pace up and down their lines. In a
little while the lights In the eats were
put out, and nil blept as well as they
could.
Tho new camp Is the delight of the
boys. Through tho thoughtfulnpss nnd
consideration of Colonel Courben the
men were ordered to drop their heavy
knapsacks at the depot, nnd to march
to the camp, three miles away, In light
marching order. Several rests weie
taken on the way, and It was well that
tho men weio not overburdened, for,
tho long ride, the night suent in tho
cars, a very light breakfast, the heavy
roads, and stnep hills would have -jade
it a hard march for the icglment. As
it was no one fell out of the ranks,
und the trip was one of pleasure
This la tho Eden of Pennsylvania,
and, unless appearances are entirely
deceptive, it is an ideal place for a
camp. About three miles from the
Susquehanna, find situated in the very
midst of a country richly blessed by
nature, it is a beautiful camping
pround. It Is two miles distnnt from
tho town of nigh Spire, which is con
nected with Hnrrlsburg by a trolley
line. To tho west and south and east
th scene Is varied and beautified by
Juttlnsr peaks of the Uluo Ridge moun
tflnr. which are covered with a pro.
fusion of rich foliage. In nil other
direction the eye takes In tho wide,
level macadamized roads, for which
this region is so well known, lordly
clumps of trees Rnd limitless, highly
cultivated farms now yielding goner
cus returns for tho intelligent labor
bestowed upon them.
The homes of the people, like
the fields, bespeak generosity, af
fluence and prosperity. In every
respect this place Is tho very
opposite of Falls Church and of Dunn
Lorlng. Virginia. There, everything
peems dry, parched, sterile, repulsive:
here, nil nature smiles nnd is bounti
ful to the last degree; and the crisp,
pure nlr breeds life, energy, nctlvity.
The boys were better prophets than
they knew when, crossing the state
lino last night, they gave three mighty
cheers "for Clod's country," for that
It certainly Is. No description could
do Justice to tho enmplng grounds of
tho Thirteenth, nnd, in fact, of every
other regiment here. On tho north of
us Is the lilghth Pennsylvania, on tho
south tho Twelfth, and on the west,
the Seventh Ohio, The other regiments
me distnnt from us about three miles.
Tho Thirteenth received the "gbtrt
hand" from tho Eighth and the
Twelfth. They were expecting us, nnd
turned out in force to wish us welcome.
Soon after reaching hero the boya set
tled down to work. The wugons began
to arrive, and In a short time lunches
were mado ready, tents pitched, nnd
then bognn tho hunt for water. Pipe
lines are being laid, and, in a very
short time, a good supply of pure water
will be furnished. The wells of the
farm houses helped to quench tho
thirst of tho boys nfter the mntch and
during tho day, while they worked In
the sun. In the afternoon many walked
a mile to n stream of running water,
where they had a much-needed hath.
There were a few sick members of
the regiment left In the hospital at
Camp Alger, but they are out of there
by this time. Major Phillips, now In
chnrge, told me before leaving that
another hospital train from Philadel
phia would remove all Pennsylvania
soldiers to the hospitals of that city.
The boys are resting contentedly
now. There is only one thing neces
sary to complete their happiness to
see some friend from home. An ex
cursion run from Scranton to here
would cheer the boys up, and they
would give a royal welcome to those
now at homo If they would only come
down for a day.
IS A GOOD HUEEZE.
During the dny the sun's ravs beat
dour hard on tho exposed hills upon
which tho camp of tho threw Pennsyl
vania regiments, the Seventh Ohio and
the First Delaware are pitched, but n
lefreshlng northern breeze, which
sweeps right over tho camp uninter
rupted by any obstacle, makes life en
joyable. Hesldes tho other advantages, this
place deserves special mention for its
bountiful supply of water. Just at
present this Is not quite apparent, but,
In a day or two, nfter everything shall
have been reduced to a system, the
boys will have llttlo cause for com
plaint. Theie Is a large tank, contain
ing nearly forty thousand gallons, a
short distance away, and from this any
amount of the finest water can bo had.
I was Informed by an intelligent far
mer, who has lived hero for years, that
this whole locality contains any num
ber of artesian wells, and that the
quantity of wnter possible to be ob
tained Is practically without limit.
There Is no fear as to Its quality either,
and, after many months of fear and
terror, the men are drlnklnir all the
water thev can get without dread, or
even the suspicion of sickness and dis
ease. Away to tho east of tho Thirteenth's
camp Is the Sweet Arrow river. Very
appropriately named, a creek, or river,
as wo would call It at home, which
winds nnd bends through these valleys
till It finally loses Itself In the Susque
hanna near Cornwall Junction. About
ninety-five per cent, of the men went
thero tho first night in camp bringing
with them towel? and soap, and en
Joyed a good swim. It Is an Ideal
I lace for bathing, and absolutely safe,
even for those who cannot swim. The
current Is strong enough to keep the
water pure: and In many parts of the
stream, which Is nearly seventy yards
wide, and on the nverage about eight
feet In depth, th white, sandy bottom
Is plainly visible, even where the wnter
Is five feet deep. This Is the paradise
for which Virginia had no counterpart.
The boys returned to camp shortly af
ter sunset, looking happy, bright and
thoroughly refreshed. They soon be
took themselves to their bunks, or to
their "comfort" cots, where they slept
like little children till tho bugle and
drums called them in the morning.
The dally routine of camp life now In
cludes a bath In the Sweet Arrow.
RATIONS SCARCE.
Since our nrrival heio criticism of
fie commissary department has been
nearly as severe as It was the first few
weeks wo spent nt Camp Alger, and the
boys now nre quite well convinced that
they are the lnnocpnt victims of In
competency or of crime, perhaps, a lit
tle of both, on the part of those high,
seemingly Irresponsible officials, whose
duty It ought to be to see to It that
the men ate properly fed. Since our
arilval hero the rations have been poor
nnd Insufficient Tho Twelfth regl
nifvt, which came here before us, has
the same complaint to make. That
matter came to a crisis Friday after
noon when tho men, who vvcte out at
heavy detail work, peremptorily
"struck" and walked right up to Col
onel Coryell's tent, stating their griev
ances to him, nnd telling him that they
could not work on the food they hnil
been getting. The colonel, to his own
Kieat credit, appreciated the situation
fully, and sympathized with his men.
He oven went further nnd relieved
them from all duty whatever, and al
lowed them last night to go whereso
ever they pleased In older to get some
thing to eat at the farm houses.
It Is a well-known fact that, If the
boys had not been so well treated nt
Washington, many members of the
Thirteenth would have been half
starved: and, since our arrival here,
the men have lacked not the luxuries,
but tho cold, formal necessaries of life.
The commissary ofllclals have been
quite Indulgent in this respect and

" When my little boy was six years old

Later on, large blotches and aores broke

NUMBER OF SICK.
Your correspondent made a careful
Inquiry throughout every company this
morning, and the following Is tho cen
sus, per company, of nil those who nre
not hero now with their commands,
and nre absent, on account of sickness,
at home, or at division hospital at Dunn
Lorlng, or at Foi t Myer hospital, or In
Philadelphia: A, ten men; H, thir
teen nnd one lieutenant; C, nineteen;
D, nine; E, eight; F, four: O, nine, nnd
II, four nnd one lleutennnt, that Is,
Foventy-elght men nltogether, or about
twelve per cent, of tho entire regiment.
This Is higher than usual, nnd Is much
greater than it will bo a week fiom
now.
This camp Is laid out In a somewhat
dlffeicnt manner from the usual. Now,
tho cooks' quarters and mess tents are
removed farthest from the sinks, nnd
stand nt the head of the company
stieets; back of these arc the com
panies' hendquarters, then the battal
ion, and then the rcglmentnt hendquar
ters. This arrancement has two ad
vantagesIt removes the kitchen to n
safe distance from the sinks, and nt
the same time places them under the
closer scrutiny of the captains.
Corporal Rldgway, of U, is laid up
with a severe attack of rheumatism In
the left arm and hand. On his arrival
In camp he received word that his
uncle, Alfred Rldgway, of Mlddletown,
N. Y., was dead.
The llttlo "comfort" cot, wooden
frame and wire springs, has been In
great demand here. One firm In Hnr
rlsburg shipped several wagon loads of
them to camp nnd disposed of them In
very short time. They sold for Jt and
$1.25.
Captain Robllng, of C, nlways popu
lar with his men, made himself doubly
dear to them since our nrrival here.
All day yesterday he pitched right In
and helped the men nt everything. At
dinner, he boiled and distributed cof
fee to them; in the evening he let them
have some refreshments nt his ex
pense, nnd advanced several of them
money with which to buy cots, so that
they would not be compelled to sleep
on the cold, dewy ground. Today ho
busied himself in seeing that "his
boyn" got enough to eat, or, at least,
enough to tide them over the starva
tion period.
HARRIOTT TRANSFERRED.
Private Peter J. Barrett, of C, from
which company he had received his
transfer some time no, has left for
Fort Morgan, Alabama, to Join Bat
tery I, First United States artillery,
commanded by Captain Patterson.
Most of the non-commissioned offi
cers have received their warrants.
They prize them hlghlv, but are in a
quandary as to what they shall do with
them. If they keep them here, they
will bo crumpled and destroyed; If they
send them home as they are, they will
be badly shattered. Your correspond

ECHOES OF THE WAR.
Clay Osborne, youngest son of Gen
eral E. S. Osborne, formerly a resi
dent of Wllkes-Barre, Is reported to
be very ill at Guayama, Porto filco,
where he is stationed with his troop
(H, of the Sixth United States cav
alry). In a letter recently received
from him, he says: "I must say for
the first time that I am very sick. I
am getting the fever.and my stomnch
will not retain anything. About three
of tho men die every day. Every one
In my troop is sick." Tho troop was
in tho Santiago campaign and later
noted us an escort to General Brooke
In the Poito Rico campaign. Accord
ing to latest adv ices, they nre encamp
ed in a tropical Jungle near the town
of Guayama On August i., 1 000 men
were reported sick. It is thought that
much of tho sickness (typhoid fever)
was brought by the troops from tho
United States mustering camps, as,
though many cases are seilous no
great increase has been noticed. Young
Osborne Is n brother of Lieutenant
William II. Osborne, of the Second
United States cavalry, who also took
pait in tho Santiago campaign nnd
died nt tho Montauk Point camp two
weeks ago.

Y. ill. C. A. WORK
AT CAMP THOMAS
Concluded from Pago 3.
raw mobs into splendid efficiency by
44 hours of drilling per day and fre
quent practice marches of from eleven
to twelve miles with fifty pounds on
each mnn'fl back. That Is not idleness.
"Off duty hundreds nnd hundreds of
men dnlly occupied the Young Men's
Christian association tonts. At Chlck
amauga there were twenty-thrco tents,
each 40x50 feet and supplied with
games, rcifdlng matter and correspond
ence tables. The latter were never va
cant but wore nearly always occupied
to their fullest capacity with scores of
soldiers waiting for a vacant chair.
Each week the association furnished
76,000 sheets of writing paper nnd over
"5,000 envelopes.
CHEAT EVIL.
"The nrmy canteen Is one of tho
greatest, If not the greatest, camp evils.
It Is a scheme of the devil to blind peo
ple. Its pioper name Is 'Army Beer
Saloon.' The Ignoianco of the public
concerning It, Is shown In the remark
of a woman who said, 'I hope the can
teen won't be nbollshed, for In thnt
event my boy would have nothing to
carry water In.'
"Soldiers were- detailed to tend bar
In the canteens. It was n military duty
as regularly prescribed as guard duty.
Christian boys who never entered n
saloon at home were compelled to take
their shift behind the army bar. The
limit of beer which a soldier may drink
Is theoretical; it depends solely on his
capacity to hold It.
"The canteen profit was used for Im
proving the mess and purchasing deli
cacies for the sick. The excuse Is
plausible, but It makes plain the point
that the Government ought to be In
better business. While I was In camp
the rations for the sick wero Issued the
same as for the well, the 'extras' being
provided out of lager beer profits. An
elevating lesson!
"The Young Men's Chrlstlnn associa
tion accomplished something against
the evil of the canteens by furnishing
Ice water In competition.
"Each Sunday we held thlrty-flvc
meetings for the soldiers; each day we
held five or six, and had evening
prayers In all the tents nightly, "We
found the men eager to hear the gos
pel, more so than I have ever experi
enced as a religious worker.
VERY SUCCESSFUL
"Our work was so successful (It was
the same in all the camps) that It will
be continued as a permanent feature
of tho Young Men's Christian associa
tion. This applies to tho navy as well
as the army. Much of our success was
duo to the aid given us by chaplains.
They were a fine class of men. Most
of them had given up large churches.
Among these were some of national
reputation, such as Rev. Dr. Van De
Water and Rev. Dr. Roderick Terry, of
New York city; Rev. Dr. Gustnv Curs
tensen, of Indianapolis, and others.
Theirs was a most self-sacrificing nnd
effective work.
"The fifty-five association workers
were picked men. Among them were
Evangelist Schlverea, well known In
Scranton; Rev. Dr. Ml. A. Torrey, of
Chicago ,and Major Whittle. Superin
tendent Sanborn, of the Scranton Res
cue mission, was one of the most help
ful men on the force. His labors were
most faithful. J. II. Banks, of Spring
Held, Mo., became camp general sec
retary after I left."
HEV. DR. GIFFIN'S SON.
He Filled the Pulpit of the Elm Park
Church Yesterday.
The congiogatlon at Elm Park
church yesteiday enjoyed more even
than their anticipated pleasure in tho
sermons of their pastor's son, Rev.
Mortimer Glffln. The young man was
In the present year's class at Wesloy
an university nnd was graduated with
high honois. Ho Immediately received
admission to the New York conference
nnd an appointment nt Bayslde. He
possesses extraordinary ability nnd
has the gift of originality developed to
an exceptional degree.
Those who heard him yesterday pre
dict a brilliant future for the young
clergyman. His morning sermon wns
on the subject of faith. In the evening
he spoke from Romans, vIllS'And we
know that nil things work together for
good to them that love God."
He said that Paul always stood on
bed rock. His was a nature so pene
trating In character that ho worked
through tho sand3 of discussion to tho
flim foundation. "We know" Is found
all through his teachings. Doubts are
the evidence of little thought not of
great minds. A somewhat unusual
view of tho modern day thought mid
Its danger to young men was then
given.
BELIEVES IN INNOCl'LATING.
The spenk;r believed that tho youth
should not b obliged to wait until ho
goes to college or out Into the vvoild
to have the knowledge thrust upon him
that unbellet exists. As the doctor
Innoculates a person with a little
smallpox In the shnpe of virus to en
able him to escapo tho malignant dan
ger of the disease, so the boy should
be Innoculated at home. By Ipctures
or private conversation give him a
small case of doubt to prevent the
larger case of doubt he might after
ward contract. This should not be
done In mixed audiences or generally
after tho manner of Lyman Abbott,
but In a Judicious way ho should bo
made to understand what will assail
him later and his efforts to know nnd
to comprehend what the great thinkers
are doing should be encouraged. It Is
better that ho should have this experi
ence at home vvhero his friends can
look after him than to go into th
world and struggle alone often to tho
point of desperation and discourage
ment. I had Salt Ilhcmn for years. My leg from
kneo to ankle was raw and swollen, and tho

This Week
Our Great Suit Store
Holds Its Annual
Fall Opening ....
"W" A HEN the Ready-to-Wear Costume first appeared it was greeted
1 I J with enthusiasm by thousands of women, who saw in it not
w 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 in 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 exclusiveness
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.

We are too apt, he said, to associate
goodness and happiness. Job's'frlends
told him he must have been bad or he
wouldn't suffer. Paul had a different
Idea. He had a problem of suffering
to face with the experience of the ear
ly Christians, for it was not then fash
ionable to belong to the church. He
said: "Wo know that all things work
together for our good." "We pick out
this sorrow, the loss of that friend,
and say wo cannot understand. We
measure things by the second hand of
our limitations nnd not by the hour
hand of God's omnipotence. Wo have
so llttlo patience to wait for God's so
lution of these problems.

crossbone label off the bottle. We can
not say that suffering Is good, that
woe Is good, but that all these things
work together for good to them that
love God. Our life plan is laid out by
the divine architect In our character.
It Is the doctrine of predestination
with a difference, a condition. We nre
not creatures of chance drifting hlth
fi and yon but guided by tho divine
hand, but. this must depend on our
attitude toward Him. The discourse
closed with a quotation from Whlttl
er's poem ending:
"And nil the windows of my heart I
opon unto day."
