0.2 THE SCR ANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5. 1898. PREPARING TO TAKE TH SOLDIERS VOTE COMMISSIONER A. B. STEVENS WAS IN CAMP. JI Is nu Old Soldier nnd Has n Thorough Knowledge of the Man ner in Which the Voting Should Be Done Destination of the Regiment After It Leaves the Country Much Discussed by the Members of the Thirteenth. About Discharge of Married Men. Special to the Scrnnton Tribune. Cnmn Meade, Mlddletown, Pa., Nov. 4. Kx-Sherlft A. B. Stevens, of Scran ton, who has been nppolnted commlH Bloncr to collect the votes of the Penn pylvanla soldiers in this camp, was Jiere yesterday. Belnff an old Boldter lilmeelf, and having voted many times durlnir the course of the civil war, he is thoroughly conversant with all tho finer and more In tricate points of fioldler-votlng. This knowledge has now become iulte use rul, nnd he has taken tho trouble to explain the matter tlioroughly to the oflicers. In the course of a conversation with The Tribune correspondent this after noon, Mr. Stevens stated that all that tvlll bo necessary to do Is for the men f each company to elect three Judges ftf election, who shall appoint the Series, and who Khali have the wmo powers as nil other JudRpft of election. The vote must be made per company, as If the company were a ward, ko that, for Instance, If a soldier from "Wayne county belonged to Company C, which Is from Scranton, such soldier could not vote with Company E, which Is from Honesdale, but with Company C. As expected, the order of Major C5en ral Graham explaining his plan of sending details of men from the dlf erents companies of the regiments of the First division to prepare the new Southern camp sites, has been re called, nnd now the question stands as it did at first. Major General Young, while acting as corps commander may, if he feels so disposed, now carry out his idea of sending ahead one entire company from each regiment. A'BOUT DISCHARGES. The question of discharging from tho service the married men of tho Thir teenth who have wives or children de pendent upon them Is still much in doubt, nnd Is causing n good deal of worry, especially now that the regi ment Is on the eve of a movement far ther away from home. Eight or ten tases weiv heard from nnd discharges peremptorily refused. As to the oth ers, some of those Interested think that the long silence of the war depart ment means a favorable answer In due time, while others take It for granted that the applications are safe ly and comfortably pigeon-holed in some out of the way corner of the de' partment. No one of Hie applications niado several weeks ago on those grounds has as yet received a favor able answer. During the absence of Major Fol lows, of the Second battalion. Captain Robllng, of C, Is acting major. Private Joseph Leonard, of D; Peter Murray, of C, and Elmer Freeman, of A Never Ending Exposition Is continually going on in our Suit Department. But don't expect to see gowns exhibited or told about last week, here this week. True, our showing is permanent, 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 iuea of the whole is OUAL1TY 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 of store keeping. A New Jacket Claims your immediate attention, for such chicness 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 see and covet.

Your man friend would pay $io.uq for such an overgarment this Is mod crately priced at I27.0O. Separate Skirts It was years ago that the home made skirt was in line of true economy. Now it's an extrava gance. Besides, style counts lor much and unless your dress maker is a talented artist, she'll not attain the touch of fashion so no ticeable in some late arrivals that are seen here. These aro "tickles" of every drcs?y woman's fancy. Tailor made; cut flounces, that hang perfectly. Somu ribbon, others gimp, and many braid trimmed. Almost a necessity a separate skirt, finltnhlo for occasions when a street gown would bo out of place. Choosing one here is nn easy mat ter.

Bad Cooking and Other Evils Due to Inexperienced Men Caused Ill ness in the Various Camps. No More Furloughs. By Associated Presx. Camp Meade. Mlddletown, Pa. Nov. 4. Chief Commissary Allison and other general officers at headquarters went to Hnrrisburg toduy to uppenr boron; the committee of the war Investigat ing board. The committee heard test imony at the I.ochiel hotel relating to Camp Alger and other camps estab lished at the breaking out or the war. The testimony of the witnesses henrd today did not add materially to that taken at otlK'r places by the board. Chief Quartermaster Howard gave a detailed history of the work of his department and said the corps was as well equipped In July as any body of soldiers that ever took the field. Colonel Allison testified that the qual ity of rations issued at Camps Alger and Meade was excellent. He clal-.ned ignorance of cooking among the volun teers was the cause of much slcltne3s at Camp Alger and suggested that tho commissary sergenats be nppolnted from the non-commissioned officers In tho regular nrmy. He said there would be less sickness among the troops If they did not eat dainties shipped to them from friends at home.' Colonel Allison said red tape did not prevent the return to the commissary depart ment of spoiled food and the Issuing of good rations In Its place. RECOMMENDED IT. General George W. Davis, command er of the Second division of the Sec and corps rnld Camp Thomas, at Chlck nmauga, was one of the best camp ing grounds In the country and that It was ifartly selected on his recom mendation. He attributed the sickness at Camp Alger to keeping the men there too long nnd camping them too close ly together. Improper food sent to the soldiers from their homes nlso had much to do with the sickness There was no failure of the commissary to supply good food nnd plenty of it. The delays In securing clothing at Camp Alger wa3 caused by the war depart ment equipping troops that were to be sent Immediately to the front. Colonel Watt3, 'of the Eighth Penn sylvania regiment. tcatMed as to the water supply at Camp Alger nnd the lurge amount of sickness among the troops. Chief Surgeon Glrard explain ed tho causes of the sickness at Camp Alger and the cffoits that were mude to keep tho men In good condition and relieve the suffering. The committee will complete Its Inquiry this evening and return to Washington. They re fused a review tendtred them by Major General Young because of their brief stay. General Younsc has Issued an order that no fuiloughs shnll be Issued un less on acccunt of slekncaH and then onlv when urgent. Company A of the Fouitetnth Pennsylvania regiment, started today for SummerviUe. S. C, to prepare the camp of the Second bri gade of the Fim division. A detail from tho Fifteenth Pennsylvania will leave tomorrow for Athens, Ga.. to es tabllsh regimental camp. Tho order to begin moving tho Second corps south tomorrow has been rescinded nnd there will be no movement until next Thursauy. One of tho reasons for the delay U the fact that none of tho investigating boardB aro ready with their reports nnd exHmlr.ntlon boards arc not yet ready to recommend mirgcons nnd medical men. A sudden movement now would finds the corps nt n disad vantage. There Is very little sickness in tho corps nnd Colonel Glrard had to sMrmlsh to get f4 patients today to send to St. Joseph's hospital, Lancas ter, After hearing Colonel Duvall, chief ordnance ofllrer of the corps, and As sistant ndjutnnt general, explained the work ot their department briefly, af ter which the committee adjourned to meet with the full board next week nt Washington.
