Cnmp Monde, Mldelletovvn, l'n., Nov. 1. While, no doubt, a little dlstiesslncr to Individuals, It Is perhaps a Rood sign for the Second Army Corps In Renctnl that the men arc complaining nlvvnjs of being hunprry and say they do nut lecelve enough to cat. This morning four companies In the Tlrst Rhode Is land, whose "dally bread" for the past week had rivalled In measerness the fore of any ascetic, laid down their oims and positively refused to drill, or to work on the rations which they had ioen receiving. Their complaints were found to be not unfounded. Though nothing like this has n- yet happened nearer home etlll the members of the Thirteenth feel about themselves In dividually that "lean and hungry look" iwhlch yearns for a more liberal al lowance. The law military, ni well as the civil, Is decidedly neiso to Indicting an un usual or an excessive punishment upon injbody unlcn It be done bv duo pro cess. Recently n case of "spread eagling" men has taken place w lthln this corps. Tho men were spread on th Kround nnd punished till they would obey. This was done at the arbitrary will of the commanding olllcer, nnd, not having been adjudged by any court martial, was a dangerous pieccdent lajor General Graham has prohibited the practice in future. NHV TENTS. Good things come Movvlv, but it Is tietti'r late than not ul nil. Several jnonths ngo the regimental quartermas ter, Uoutenant II. B. Cox, made thf inund of the company streets thiee or lour times, nnd inspected nnd con demned those tents which were unfit lor ut It was also undoistood then, and, in fact, nil during the excessively hot weather, that the ordinary tent, UxSkT feet, wun not only inconvenient for the accomodation of thiee, four, and in some rases, of live men, but cliin geious for the reason that, when ciowd nl like- n tenement house, it would oflcr i fiultful Held for the development of disease getms. Many attempts weie made to iemed the evil, but to ne- oinpllsh this effectively was not pos sible, sn the tentnge supiilles were ln Miillelent. The Idea, how ova, must not have been lost sight of. as the following older, recently Issued fiom corps head quniters shows: "Regimental Independent Battalion, and company commanders will Immed iate make icquNltion upon the ihlef quartermaster of the corps for (oinmon tents, sutlleient, vvlth tentnge they now have, to allow one tent for every two t nllsted men of the htiength of their e ommands." Tills older will be welcomed even at A Never Ending Exposition Is continually going on in our Suit Department. But don't expect to see gowns exhibited or told nbout last week, here this week. True, our showing is peimanent, but it has a kaleidoscopic existence the scenes change daily, so do the color combines. What's here to day is not the same as yesterday's nor will tomorrow's be like last week's, nor next week's. For want of a more fitting word what is called STYLISHNESS is ever here. At its best now. It is a collection of Suits, Costumes, Coats and Wraps that permits of no rivalry either in quality or price. In fact the single idea of the whole is OUALI IT FOR PRICE. Superior ity not price is the key note ol this store's success. The BEST jacket that $10.00 will buy. The BEST costume that $50.00 can purchase. Best always that & our plan ol store keeping. A New Jacket Claims your immediate attention, for such clncness will not long re main ours. Femininity or rather that large portion of it which has an eye to the newest and most attrac tive products of the tailors art will sec and covet. Tho new Trench Montagnac 1 rlozo is the maker's selection for this dressy Jacket. Just li'ce jour man friends coat, it Is cut-a-vvay In from and his "vented' skirts and close fitting bick Tho collar is of velvet, lapels nro ciulltcd-B.itln faced; and sleeves n-id body aie lined through with "tallois sutln." Your man friend would pa Jtow for such an overgaimcnt this is mod orately priced at K'ToO Separate Skirts It was years ago that the home-mad-; skirt was in line of true economy. Now it's an extrava gance. Besides, style counts (or much and unless youi dress maker is a tnlened artist, she'll not attain the touch of fashion so no ticeable in some late arrivals that are seen here Thiso are "tickles" of every diessy woman's fancy. Talloi made; cut flounces, that hang ptrrcttl bomo llbnon, others gimp, and many braid trimmed. Almost n necerslty a soinrate skirt Suitable for occasions when a strcot gown would be out of place. Choosing one heio Is an easy mat ter It's n lenl pleasurr so great Is the variety. Jl tt8 to IJSvo ISAAC LONG, 7J uiul "." I'nblle riquare, WJI.k'US.IIAIlltU. PA. & V J? HIS UNWELCOME LEGACY.

After a shott time, tho pain passed nil enduiance, and tho witness was willing to tell all he knew; perhapp more. A memory of this barbarity still lingers In our word gout, which is of Trench origin nnd means, literally, a drop. Cer tainly tho agony of tho disease Is computable with that of the old tot tut e. "I Inherited gout from my father," says O. Archibald Arm strong, of 4.07 Ucimantown u venue, Philadelphia, "but my doctor wus ntwns able to keep tho dlseano within bounds until live yeaiB ago when, after a light vvlth la grippe, I had whit the phvslclans called muscular rheumatism. For hnuis at a time I could not lalt-e my arm moie than a few Inches. My feet swelled and turned put pie. Ointments and liniments only Irritated tho burning ileal) I could not bear the weight of the lightest bedclothes on my feet. Tho swelling had ex tended to my thighs, and my family were getting anxious about me, when a valued friend Insisted that my kidneys weie at fault nnd persuaded me to try Warner's Safe Cuie. "The swelling began to subside within foity-elght hours, but the third bottle of Safe Cure was consumed before I felt mjself on the way to recovery. I realized at last that 1 had a eel tain lemedy against my old enemy, gout, and that tho Safe Cure was cleaning my system of evety trace of rheumatic poison. "This was Ave years ago. Since that time I have been Exposed to all sorts of weather, but 1 keep well, and have almost foi gotten that such a thing us gout or lheumatlsm ever ailed me." It Is the business of he kidneys to tnko from the blood a substance called urate of soda, whlih forms tiny, sharp-edged s?m 5 v ra r- crystals, hard as gianlte nnd poisonous ns 11 rattlesnakes bite, although slow in tho blood deposits these is slowest in the toes, the Joints nnd the ears. The sharp edges nit Into the llcsh. Thnt is what makes the maddening pain of rhoumntlsm and gout. Mr. Armstrong's friend was light. The kldnevM were at fault, and whin Warner's Safe Cure had strengthened them the unwelcome legacy of gout was dilvcn away. What a pity it is that men should suffer, when relief 1h almost as close to them as their shadows! Summcrvllle, S. C. rouitcenth Penn si Ivanla. Governor Hastings has appointed Ar thut E. Nicholson, of Allegheny coun ty, second lieutenant of Company R, Fourteenth Penns Ivanla. An election was held In the Two Hundied and Second New Yoik regi ment todav for state and district of fices.

A B. and O. Denial. The Ilaltimaie nnd Ohio rallioacl Is not going to adopt the Rnub locomo tive foi service between New Yoik nnd Washington, as has been stated In an Item which has been going th' 1 omuls of the papeis for the last month. The motive power derailment of this tnllioad has lookid upon the rumor with lonsidernole amusement, as wltnln the past ear nrd a half the Roval Ulue tialns have been hiul eel by the finest, lnstcst and stiongest ten-wheel passenger engines In the vvoi Id. These locomotives have 7S Inch drivers and since they have been In seivlce have proved so eminently satlsfactoiy that nothing bittei can piobably be secured. It will be le membered that one of these mngnlll cent new locomotives, the 1313, pulled Vice Piesldnt-Elcct Hobait on March 2. l&JG, from Philadelphia to Washing ton In 12G minutes, ,1 distance of 1H3 miles, nnd made one five-minute stop. They frequently run 85 miles in hour with si ami eUht cais, so the Ealti moie and Ohio i.illioad Is under no necessity of changing Its tpu of pas senger motive power on the Royal Uluo line, and expeiiment with a lo comotive whoso usefulness has et to be demonstrated.
