Bpftclat to tho Bcranton Trlburfc. Camti Meade. Mlddletown, Oct 11. After tho disturbing effects of tlui xcurHlon, of tho heavy rains and of the few weeks of absence from nil drills, camp life has once more settled down to old sedate routine. Major General Graham took a Hying tilp In this direction from corps headquarters Saturday nftrrnoon and In making tne rounds he unfortunately passed along the road vhlch forms the western boundary of tho Thirteenth's camp. Owing to the presence of so many visitors from homo the bojs were pie occupled and were not to be expected, under clrcumstances.to be on their met tle as viewed from a nurely military standpoint. Consequently there were few of tho members of the guard at the guard house, and on account of the heavy tralllc the cros roads were blocked for a few minutes by n steady stream of ermy wagons which were bringing the excursionists to the de pot. General Graham became wiathy at thin and moreover expressed his dis approval of the Idea of using govern ment wagons for the purpose of carry ing citizens through the camp a cus tom, by tho way, which has become quite prevalent here and never known to be perlouslv objected to until that occasion. Tho action of the corps commander, in many Instances, evoked crltic.if.rn on tho part of the visitors, which would hardly have pleased his cars If he heard it. ANXIOUS ALL ALONG. It has been the desire of the com manding ofllcer of tho corps all along to grant eery man a furlough befoie uny uttempt could be possibly made to remove the troops from lieie and with that end In view he allowed the men In their order to visit their homes ns fast as they could be made to come nnd go, giving to ten per cent, of evety command i seven day furlough. That pi i Urge is now to be withdrawn as nearly all have taken advantage of it. In order to deprive no one of a favor which has been enjoved by at least ninety per cent, of the men the fol lowing order, more llbcial than any of the otherh heretofore Issued in thla respect, has been received at headquar ters: t Jleatlquantors Sicoml Army Corps, Camp Georgo G. Meade, Pa , Oct. 7, ISIS. To the Commanding General, riist Divis ion, Second Army Corps. Sir: In reply to your Utter of October li, 1SJS, with reference to the granting of furloughs by brigade commanders, I liaie the honor to inform ou that tho corps lomminder authorizes the brigade com manders to grant furloughs for sein ilas nnd dhlsion commanders for twenty das, and not more than ten per cent or tho enlisted men to bo absent on fur loughs at any ono time, anil sick fur loughs not to bo counted in this connec tion. Carl Itelchman, Asslstnnt Adjutant General. This order will expedite matters won dei fully, because nn applicant for a fui lough now need go no farther than his bilgnde commander. Theie are still n few members of each company of the Thirteenth who have not been home. This week and next they will hae nn opportunity to s-oe their families nnd friends before leaving for the south now the undoubted destination of the leglment. QUIET PAY DAY. This lost was one of the quietest pay das which the bos have spent since they went into the United States ser vice. "Whethei this fact was duo to the number of heavy lines which resulted ftom the unauthorized trips home last month, or lrom the natural disposition of the men, It Is hard to say. Some of the men had onli $t. $ or sixty cents coming to them, and, in a few cases, not even a penn was jecelved. Tho only post-pay day excitement which the bojs hae hud so far was iv wrestling match between Corpoial Hanford Swingle nnd Private David Feldman, of C. Uoth are good friends and splendid specimens of physical de velopment. They began to wrestle for fuh Ftlday morning, ho that they would warm themselves up after roll call. Finally the spectatois were divided, nnd bets weie made on one and on the other. The wrestleis then decided to have a filendly bout, 'catch-as-catch-ean," and "best two out of three falls " It was a fine contest, and took nearly half an hour to decide It. Corpoial Swingle waB declared the winner, and immediately victor and vanquished, and the winners and the loseis In the bets had breakfast and refreshments to- egther. The humorous pait of It was that, during the contest, some excitable Individual, who let his Imagination run nway with his Judgment, repotted at brigade headquarters that there was a riot in the Thirteenth The Tribune correspondent this morn ing met Captain Cox, of Randolph, Maine, who had Just come from Harrls burg, where he called to see his son, Lieutenant II. 1$. Cox, now being treat ed In the city hospital. Captain Cox leports that the Thliteenth's oftlcers now In that Institution, Including Lleu tennnt Cox, Captuln Kambeck, Lieu tenant Johnson and Lieutenant J. C. Harrington, who was taken there two days ago ns a malarial fever patient, are doing well. Governor Hastings, ac companied by his wife, wns theie yes terday afternoon and left word that he should be called at any hour of day or night, If he would be needed, or could do anything for the Pennsylvania pa tients, officers or privates. Lieutenant Cox will, according to present indica tions, be able to leave for his father's home In Maine in about two weeks. HE HAS FEVER.

A little more than thirty-live years ugo tho people of Omaha wcro called to arms to defend their homes and families against n threatened Invasion of Bloux warriors. An expedition Eent out to put down the Uprising succeeded so well that never since has thoie been any cause to fear a second visitation, in the In tervening years, tho red man has been penned up In the reservations which Uncle Sam provided for his well-being, nnd it haa been Impossible for poor Lo to organize boards of stintegy nnd swoop down upon thla beautiful nnd peaceful city. Today, however, the Indians nre hero by Invitation nnd by gracu of the Indian ofllce nt Washing ton. They come from all tuits of the United States, and represent no less than foity distinct types of tho North American Indian. When tho United States Congress appropriated $10,000 for this purpose. It was the Intention to assemble ut Omaha members of ev ery tribe and to show, possibly for tho last time, representative types of a race destined to extinction by the slow but sure advance at civilization. Over tin eo hundred Indians have already been brought here, and before the Ex position cioseB In November fully one thousand nlorlglnes will Ik? found on the camping grounds on the north tract. At Intel vals they will partici pate In festivities peculiar to their tribes, and In their barbarous dances to which legendary lore has contribut ed much romantic Interest. In lieu of a better name, tho promoters of this great enterprise have styled It the Indian congress. The opening session was called to order Aug. 4, by Cnpt. W. A. Mercer, U. S. A , who, by direc tion of the War Department, is high chlciftaln of all the ttlbes now at Omaha. The opening of the congies was at tended with ceremonials, savage and civilized, and drew one of the largest crowds of the season to the" grounds. In tho forenoon 150 children of tho plains and forest, mounted on ponies and gaudily painted and costumed, paraded tho principal down town streets, and on their return to the Ex position grounds Captain Mercer gath eied his charges In front of the office building, where they participated In a flag raising. As the stais and stripes ascended the pole, the band from the Indian school nt Flandrenu, S. D., played the "Star Spangled Banner," and as It fluttered to the breeze three cheers were raised In as many lang uags and dialects as there were tribes represented. The sounds were strange, but the cheers were given with a hearty good will, nnd tho hundreds of whites who were looking on were not slow to Join In. THE PARADE. After the Indians had dined, the par ade was foimed.A squad of Exposition police marched In front, ostensibly to clear the way, but as the onlookers showed far ci eater deference to the blue paint of the savages than to the blue uniform of the officers, their pres ence was largely a matter of form. Net came the Indian band of twenty Instruments, nnd then there were hundreds of Indians on foot Their np paiel was gaudy In the extreme. Paint, feathers and blankets formed the basis of most of the costumes. Big war bonnets of eagle feathers, garments made of skins, hair nnd bedds, and great patches of nrms, or legs, or backs with nothing on them but a heavy layer of red orbluopalnt gavethe affair a most picturesque appearance. In the line of march was an Indian sledge drawn by a pony and bearing three or four tom-toms which the painted and feathered musicians beat constantly as the procession wended Its way rhrouzh the Midways and round the Bluff Tiact nnd back to the en campment. Another sledge laden with tom-toma followed a short distance down the line The Indians who rode were clothed In all of the known colors and painted to perfection. The faces of some weie a dead white, others were black, while others were red, blue or green. There were as many styles of painting as there were Indians. Eagle feathcis foimed a feature of the attire of many, especially the Rosebud, the Brule and the Standing Rock Slouv. Theie were carried all of tho Indian Implements of ancient and civilized warfare. Some had the modern rifle, some the tomahawk, while plenty had bows anil arrows. Many a brave had a bunch of scalps dangling at his belt, whllo otheis held aloft, and waved with great satisfaction, gieat bunches of flesh, to which was attached hair, not human llesh and hair, but flesh anl hair torn from a beef that had been slaughteied during the morning hours. INDIAN AMUSEMENTS. After the Indians had returned to the enclosuie, tho public was admitted to witness dances and sports of various descriptions. In the center of the glass plot some twenty bucks and squaws seated themselves In a circle and began to beat the tom-tom. Other Indians quickly gathered nnd the fun began. The dance was designated as He Lu Ski.whlch when put Into English means nothing moie thun Brave Dance. This Is a dance for tho Winnebagoes and Omahos, and they weie the only ones who participated. An Indian would stuit out with a slow swinging step. Tins he would continue for a time. Gradually he would move faster and faster, continuing till he fell exhausted. Then others would dance and fall until about all had taken a tumble. To celebintC) the occasion, Tom Sloane, nn Indian nttomey from the Omaha agency, presented a silver med al us big as a saucer to Stone, one of the Foxes. Glft-mnklng pioved con tagious, and Silver Brown of tne Omahas. in tho best language he coulJ command, said he would give n pony to the Indian he loved best, and re quested S. A. Combs, n white man, to name the recipient. Combs picked out Smoke Maker, and Mr. Maker got the pony. Mi. Brown then explained that It was tho custom for some person to glvo away a pony when the He Lu Ski dance was given, nnd as ho had hund reds he thought It his duty to do the giving. Oh Lc She None, who boasts of hav ing seen 113 summers, then led more dancing, and this was followed by horse racing nnd a game of U crosse between picked teams of Winnebagoes, which was stopped by darkness. During the morning hour there was n dress rehearsal, a number of tho tribes putting tho finishing touches on the dances which they will glvo during their stay. A largo ring wns roped off for the purpose of preventing tho whites from crowding up upon the dan cers. This ring Is about 100 feet In dia meter. The band stand, or rather the band ring, Is In the center, nnd here tho Indians will sit upon their haunch es nnd beat out doleful music, while around them will gyrnto the painted nnd feather-bedecked children of the mountain, plain nnd forest. Tho ball opened by a party of Assln bnnles putting on a friendly dance, which, when uninterpreted, Is "Kl Yl HI." Tho dance Is nn easy, swinging nffnlr, tho movement lwlng similar to that of n. chicken that hops nbout with badly frozen feet. This dance continued for nn hour or more, aftdr which a number of squaws Injected themselves Into the ring nnd gave n dance peculiar to the women of tho Sioux tribe. Like nil other Indian dnnccs, this one wns accompanied by singing and tho beating of wheezy drums It Is apparent that tltno and harmony don't count for much with In dians when they dance, noise being the principal accompaniment. The women were beautifully painted, red being the prevailing color, though there weie many bright stripes of black artisti cally daubed across their checks, lips and foreheads. Mrs. Hits-the-Eaglc-ln-the-Clouds was the Ifello of tho ball and won fre quent and uproarious applause. Her step was as light as that of a young fawn, while her costume was strikingly fetching. She wore a dtess of red blanket, cut decollete at both top and bottom. Over this she wore muskrat skin trimmed with red flannel. Her Jew els consisted of elks' teeth and bear claws. Miss Runs-Llke-the-Decr was attired In a dainty suit of yellow calico, l cach ing to her knees, a girdle of brass en circling her waist. She encased her feet In slippers of buckskin, hair side In, the tops worked In porcupine quills, dyed red and blue. Her pantalettes were of blue blanket, cut bins, and trimmed down the sides with white brnld. Although quite fleshy, Mrs. Known-No-Fear danced as lightly as though she was made of feathers, notwith standing the fact that she tips the scales at 205 pounds. Her costume wns rich In tho extreme. It was of yellow squaw cloth, a kind of flannel, and was piofusely decorated with clam shells and pieces and strips of otter fur. She wore her hair down her back, with a crown of hawk feathers, dyed crimson encircling her head. Miss Rldes-the-Wlnd from the Black foot agency, tried to outshine her friends nnd some of the spectators thought that she did She w ore a beau tiful robe of bucksklr, tanned a bright yellow and hand-painted. It was cov ered with figures representing hunting scenes, with Indian tepees in the back ground, flier black hair was gathered In the back and held In place by a stilp of red braid, which hung nearly to the ground. She carried a turkey wing for a fan There were many other striking cos tumes which were greatly admired, es pecially by the white women who stood around the ropes. INDIANS P.RESENT. Representatives of the following trlbs took part In this ceremonial' Bad River and Sac du Flambeau Chlppe was, Rosebud, Lower Brule, Cheyenne, Sisseton, Tlandreau, Standing Rock nnd Crow Creek 'Sioux, Sacs and Foxes slnabolnes, Omahas, Winnebagoes, Blackfeet, Arapahoes, Jlcarillla Apach es, Nez Perces, Comanches, Wlchitas, Bannocks, Pueblos, Osnges, Iroquois and Poncas. Members of other tribes nre arriving dally. Frequent exhibi tions of blanket making, ennoe mak ing, etc. and of all kinds of Indian sports and dances will bo given until from Iowa, Foxes from Mississippi, As the close of the Exposition. The conception of the Indian Con gress, like that of the Trans-Mlsslsslppi Exposition, originated with The Omaha Bee, whose editor, with tho nld of Sen ators Allen and Thurston, Congressman Mercer and other repiesentatlves of the Trans-Mlselsslppl states, succeeded In enlisting the active Interest of the Indian Bureau and Secretary of the Interior Bliss In tho project and In pro curing ix congressional appropriation to defiay Its expenses. Had It not been for the delay In the passage of the Indian appropriation hill, caused by the pressuie of war measures, the Indian congress would have been Installed at the opening of the Exposition. The Indian Congress does not con template merely an encampment of tribal Indians, housed in native Inhab itations and carrying on various na tive festivals, but also periodic Indian festivals, participated In not only by tho Indians In attendance, but by ad ditional members brought from the larger leservatlons for these special oc casions These Indian festivals. Illus trating the lellglous and social rites of the American Indian, w 111 be not alone Interesting as a show feature, but In structive from the educational and scientific standpoint, affording Btudents of ethnology and sociology nn oppor tunity never before presented and never likely to be again within their reach. How Long Does It Take to Think. Fiom Pearson's Weekly. 1'iofessor Itlehei sjjs that it takes a man about one-euventh of a second to think out each l otu of a musical scale, llu explain-, the pructico that people will often follow of bci ding their heads in oidcr to catch each minute sound, by the fact that tho smallest intervals of sound can bj murh better distinguished with one" ear than with both. Thus tho separateness of tho clicks of a revolving toothed wheel were noted by ono observer when they did not exceed sixty to tho stcond, but using both ears he could not distinguish them when they occurred oftener thun llftecn times a second Among tho ailous wns In which Pro fessor Ulehet tried to arrive at conclu sions foi realizing any phvslcal sensation or mental impression was tho touching of the skin repeatedly with llgnt blows from a small hummer. The fact th it the blows are separate and not continuous pus sure can be distinguished when they follow one another as frequeiltlj as 1,(00 a second. The sharp sound of the etectilc spark from an Induction coll was distinguished with one car, when the late was us high as 600 to tho second The sight is much less keen When re volved at a speed no faster than twenty four times a second, a disc, half white and half black, will appeal gray. Wo also hear more rapidly thun we can count. If a clock-clicking movement runs moro quickly than ten to tho necond, wo cun count four clicks, while with twentv to tho second, wo can count only two of them.
