Bpaclal to tlio Seranton Tribune.
Camp Meade. Mldilleton, Pn., Oct. 20.
Since the time when the earth was
deluged with rains, which lasted for
forty days and forty nights, no sol
diers ever pot a more thorough soak
ing than those of the Second Army
rorps, who had to do guard duty
Tuesday night. It kept threatening
all day, till at 7 o'clock In the eve
ning, the wind rose to the propor
tions of a miniature hurricane and oc
nlonal drops of rain fell. At 10 o'clock
these Increased In frequency, and from
12.30M11 4 yesterday morning every drop
of water In the heavens pec-mod to fall.
The sentry at No. 1 pot of the Thir
teenth could not get within fifty feet
of hU beat, and the other sentinel
did the best they could by way of
seeking shelter.
So heavy was the storm that for a
time no attempt could be made to post
new sentries. Down the Incline be
tween the guard house tents and Com
pany U street, the water rushed In
sheets, and was two inches In denth.
The old wooden frame building, which
was recently erected as a stockade for
the prisoners, offered no protection
whatsoever, livery chink win n high
way for the tains, which flooded ev
erything so much to that the prison
ers burst the doors nnrt ran for shelter
to the adjoining tents used by the
guards.
One of the officers" mess tents was
flattened to the ground, anil the strong
center pole of the Young Men's Chris- !
tlon association tent Mas snapped in
two like a match, and the confusion
was gieat in consequence. Uenches, '
tables and chairs were scattered
around and broken. Several of the i
boys, whose tents aie bad, had an in- I
voluntary bath. Fortunately, It was
pleasant yesterday and blankets and '
nil wearing apparel wore aired and
dried.
IMPORTANT OHDEHS.
The most Important orders which
have been published within the past
month are those which have just been
given out for publication by Major
Surgeon Keller, of the Thirteenth. They
refer to the ro-cstablIMiment of the
regimental hospitals, that much
abused institution, for the abolition of
which several months ago at old Camp
Alger, Colonel GIrord, chief surgeon
of the corps, received such severe crit
icism. The wisdom of having the reg
imental hos:iitals revived seems to
have at last impressed itself on the
minds of the powers that be. The first
order re-er-tabllshing the regimental
hospitals was Issued nearly two weeks
ago from the olllce of the chief sur
geon of the United States army at
Washington, D. f
The second order comes fiom Major
General Graham. It formally places
the senior medical olllcer of each regi
ment in charge of the regimental hos
pital, and requires them to immediate
ly proceed to the establishment of such
hospitals, and to make the necessary
requisition for supplies as well as for
funds.
We pay express both ways,
i. e.: we pay when we
send: if not suited, we
pay when you send back.
Studies in Black
Judging by the demand across
our counters and that's a safe
way BLACK in dress fabrics is
to emphasize this season, it's pop
ularity of last Fall. Justly so. It
has immense advantage of almost
universal "becomingness", al
most universal suitability, great
servicability, and, as exemplified in
this great collection, undoubted
novelty and beauty.
Perfect taste, quiet richness and
tremendous effectiveness character
ize black fabrics. Three fourths of
ours are imported, and it is when
colors is denied that the freshness
and originality of French desierninc
is best demonstrated.
Novelty, novelty, a new effect,
a new beauty In every piece you
examine.
More than three hundred pat
terns in our showing:
Smooth and Hough Crejions,
Crupons with Iiajailcrc Stripe?
Camels Hah' Sews, Smooth
and Rongh Cheviots Granites,
Bisons,
Prices? Why from 50c to $5.00,
with $1.50 as a fair average. Sam
ples if you ask.
Our Doiar Gove
How much of glove making
triumph in that one line, A spear
pointed real kid skin glove, remark
able for its easy and graceful fit,
Importers don't understand it.
Wilkes-Barre women appreciate
such gloves for a dollar and we
think Seranton women will too, for
you may choose a certain well
known brand at three fourths more
to compare them with.
Shall we send you a pair? They
haye two clasps "and come in Red
Browns, Browns, Tans and Black.

This order will work a complete nnd
radical change In the methods of car
ing for tho sick, ni present the regi
ment have what Is known as it regi
mental hospital or dispensary, In
which light cases of sickness uie treat
ed, and lu which patients, who arc
suffering from any serious complaint,
are. kept for twenty-four hours before
being taken to Division hospital. This
arrangement had many drawbacks,
and wus never popular os most of
the patients from the Division hospit
als can testify. The men, us a rule,
wanted to remain with their command
and hated the Division hospitals, to
which Institutions patients will now
he brought only In extreme cases. Six
ty cents per day will be allowed for
each patient, and will be used for pro
curing delicacies for the patients.
m:gimi:ntai. hospital..
The Thirteenth's hospital will, It Is
expected, be an Ideal one under the
new order of things, nnd Major Sur
geon Keller proposes to leave noth
ing undone to keep the standard of Its
excellence and efllclency up to the high
est. Th present dispensary has only
four beds, two hospital stewards and
one assistant, nnd tho patients have
their food cooked In the company
kitchens. Under tho proposed change
there will be at least fifteen beds, two
hospital stewards, with an acting stew
ard, u hospital corps of thirteen or
fourteen men. a special cook for the
sick, their own dining room, table
woie, ambulances, wagons, stretchers,
and everything which ought to be con
tained In the complete outfit of nti
army hospital. Dr. Keller and the oth
er members of the medical staff are
delighted with the change and the
men of tho Thirteenth are none the
los pleased. Tho new hospital will
soon be In readiness, Major Surgeon
Keller having already made requisi
tion for whatever Is needed.
