Evening Wraps
Aisitors to this store, born with their

Whether these mignlllcent efforts may
be termed works of nit Is for jour own
definition and opinion. Certainly they

These figures are the bases of deduc

teresting. They show that there nic
now nbsent sltk only 8 1-101 per cent,
of all the enlisted men; but 23 per cent.
of all the commissioned olllceit, line
and staff. In the entile legiment theie
aie absent sick at present CO enlisted
men and 'J oillcers 75 men, or 8 31-41
per cent of tho toal strencth of the
regiment. In the number of men ab
sent on account of sickness, tho com
panies range upward as follows: V
with thiee, 11 with sl, D with eight,
12 with eluht. O and U with eleven each,
A with twehe, and O with thltteen.
OFFICHRS ON LEAA'E.
Thl summary nlso shows that two
commls.sloned ofllcers Captain S. S.
Dei man and Lieutenant Johnson ate
missing In A, and that G Company Is
entliely deprived of .Its ofllcers. Con
sidering the facts that there Is hardly
a ostlge of sickness existing among
the menthol u of the regiment who aie
now heie, and that, of those who arc
at the piesent writing absent, nearly
fifty :er cent, of them are In good
health and waltlni for tuinpoitatlon
to join their companies.
The ttouble of the past few elas over
the bieacl question Is not likely to re
cur, as the Thltd brigade bakery Is now
In operation. Twelve tons of flour.
both of spring and of winter wheat,
were lecelved, and this morning the
bakery wn$ put In full operation, and
henceforth It will turn out dally be
tween 2,r.00 and .1,000 loaves of bread.
Coiporal Homer I'ease, of A, Is a
half-Invalid. Some clas ago while ex
ploilng tlnough the woods near camp
and handling some odd specimens of
low ttees, his right arm camo In con
tact with what Is known as poisoned
oak In a. short time aftct wards, the
arm began to swell, and seveial small
eiuptlont. bioke out between the wil't
and the elbow. Dr. Blanchard was
called In, and prescribed some antisep
tic solutions, nftcr sevcrar applications
of which the aim began to heal giadu
allj'. Coipotal Pease Is now off the sick
lls.t, and though bis arm it still some
w hat sorc.he is able to attend to lighter
duties.
Lieutenant AVilliam AV. Inglis of D,
acting as nn aide on General Gobln's
staff, was welcomed back to camp
AVcdneday, after an absence of ncarlj'
tlnce and one-half months. On ac
count of Ill-health, ho had to quit the
regiment at Dunn Loilng, and wont
west on an extended health tour. On
his return he tecelved a waim welcome
fiom bis many friends In the icglment,
and states that his health Is now good.

Ptlvate Sam Rlchoids, of D, and

working there. Both aie flist-class
bakers, nnd weie slmilatly detailed at
tho corps bakery at Camp Meade.
Private David Jamcp, of C, Is culti
vating a beard of a ceitaln cut which,
tho old membcis of the National Guard
hay, makes him look like ex-Quaiter-inaster
Reese AA'ntklns. Others say lie
resembles Chauncej- Depcw.
Private David Harris, of tho commissary-,
has received a few impottant
nnd otllclal maps, entitled thp "AVinter
Campsof theUnttedStatesArmy." They
shows all the camps In which tioops are

to the history and the strategic value
of each point. Mr. Harrii has kindly
furnished The Tilbuno correspondent

heretofore hao never felt the band or

FINE BODY OF MEN.
Instead of finding a rough, uncouth, sel
fish crowd, I found a crowd of big-hearted,
honest generous fellows, alwajs will
ing to assist and Instruct a recruit, with
out a pretence towards domineering over
them. True, it affords nmuicmet to most
of them to vvrtch tho actions of the
"Rookies" (as they term rccrultsi, but
never an ui kind word is tpoken Our
legiment Is officered by educated, tnlent
cd gentlemen, who teem to be alwajs
solicitous of the welfare and comfoil of
tho men under them No-complaint can
be mitdo of tho character and quantity
of tho food, but, of course those who ex
pect "Hotel Jermjn" faro will havo to
bring It with them
Tho trip south to Huntsvllle, Alabama,
was a pleasant one, with the exception
of a shortago of latlons, six bandw ie he j
only being given each man upon leaving
Scranton for a fortv-hour trip, and when
tho commanding olllcer hero was told ot
It, declared It an outrage and It Is evi
