Uodv.
Court Martlnlled.
Two members of the First regiment
Of Philadelphia, were court martlnlled
today for1 Insulting Governor Htone by
making disparaging remarks ns he
drove through Gettysburg yesterday.
It Is said th6 men will bo drummed out
Of camp. Major General Miller, who
has been 111 since yesterday, Is still
confined tn division headauartcrs.
A' rumor has been circulated about
to the effect that the Thirteenth and
Ninth regiments would be retained Jn
camp, to meet any difficulties whlrh
might arise among the strikers. Said
Governor Stone to The Tribune corres
pondent: "The Idea Is absurd. In case of any
outbursts those regiments will be near
si; the scene of difficulties, right nt
home. Moreover, we do not expect any
trouble. The mine workers' officials
have thus far showed a commendable
willingness to co-opcrnte with the civil
authorities In suppressing any disor
der, more so in fact thun they have
ever before done. There may nave
been small local outbreaks, and they
are matters for the local authorities
to attend to and can be easily coped
with by any sheriff with a backbone.
"The military Is not a force to be
used for policing purposes, as Is gen
erally and erroneously supposed. It
is rather a reserving force, only to be
appealed to In cases of great emergen
cy. As matters stand now, the leaders
of the strikers realize It Is to their
advantage to maintain peace and order
and up to date have done so. There
is no reason to suppose that their men
will suddenly resort to luwlcss actions."
Governor Stone also expressed himself
as highly pleased with the Thirteenth's
showing at inspection.
Visited the Governor.
Tonight General Gobln and staff, ac
companied by the colonels and icgl
mental staffs of the Third brigade paid
4. visit to Governor Stone's headquar
ters. Tomorrow afternoon Battery C,
of the United States artillery, under
Captain Foot will execute a drill, on
brigade grounds and General Gobln will
order brigade dress parade in return,
for their benefit.
Colonel C. V. Seldon, state inspector
of rifle practice, last night met the three
brigade inspectors of rifle practice, and
held a brief session with them, dlscus
, sing plans for the coming year. Colonel
I.oree, who has been acting as provost
marshal, was today relieved from his
position, at his request, on account of
personal business cares. Colonel James
W. Oakford, of Scranton, judge advo
cate on Governor Stone's staff succeeds
Colonel Loree.
Among today's arrivals in camp, were
Vice President Voorhees, Superintend
ent Garrett and a number of other
Philadelphia and Reading railroad of
vflcials, Mrs. J. P. S. Gobin and the
Misses Howell, of Lebanon and Mrs.
W. S. Millar, and Miss Bess Rice, who
ire guests of Major W. S. Millar.
Lfeutenant Colonel Hordung, of the
Second regiment, was division officer
Of the day today. Major Louis Beckler
"(Vas division staff officer. Major B.
Rush Field, of the Thirteenth, was
brigade officer of the day and Captain
George C. Merriman, of Company F,
was regimental officer of the day.
Lieutenant Lathrope, of C, was officer
of the guard.
Captain George F. Buss, of Plttston,
adjutant of the Ninth regiment, sus
tained a peculiar injudy today.. While
riding to inspection his horse stumbled
and fell, and rolling over on him,
sprained the captain's knee.
Condition of Camp.
General J. P. S. Gobln was seen by
The Tribune correspondent this mom
my, and expressed himself as extreme
ly gratified by the condition of the
Thirteenth's camp, when he Inspected
It. "Everything in that camp is In
first class condition. It's undoubtedly
one of the best camps of the division,"
said he. In discussing the strike situ
ation, General Gobln said:
"Personally, ,1 do not think there is
going to bo any trouble. Still, it Is al
ways the unexpected which happens.
No one expected that the sheriff would
shoot a crowd of men and precipitate
a riot at Lattlmer. In ense of any
trouble in Carbon county, I think It is
only natural to assume that my bri
gade will be ordered out. In fact any
brigade commander would consider It
an affront, If a call were made upon
'any other brigade to take care of a
disturbance In his region."
The regular schedule, upon which the
regiment's movements are timed is as
follows: First call, B.25 o'clock; rev
eille, 5.30 o'clock; police call, 6; mess
call, breakfast, 6.30; sick call, 7.30;
tuard mounf, $; drill, 8.30; mess call,
dinner, 12; drill and regimental evo
lutions, 2; parade, 6; mess call, sup
per, 7: retreat, sunset; platoon, 9,30;
taps. 10.
Colonel Watres yesterday found it
necessary to condemn a large portion
of the state food supply, inasmuch as
after an examination he considered
none of the bread or canned corn fit
for eating. He made a thorough exam
ination, with Commissary Koehler and
Burgeon Keller, and the result wns
the condemnation of the bread and
corn. The former was soggy, nnd
heavy, while the corn was found to be
covered with a poisonous green film.

CAPT. GEORGE C. MERRIMAN,
Of Company F.
A competitive examination was held In
Company D, for the position of fourth
rgeant. A number of candidates at
tacked the papers, and CorpoiHl Harry P.
Kinsley was the fortunate man who cams

The particular pride of Company h s
Its kitchen, which the men claim 1h the
finest in the brigade, in fame has spread
throughout the camp and hfiB pyeu at
tracted visitors from headquarters.
Joseph Helrelgel, formerly captain of
Company C, and now a student at the
Medlco-Chl., at Philadelphia, Is tho guest
of Adjutant Richard J, Bouike, of the
Third battalion.
The trials and triturations of tho regl
mental band Blnce their arrival at camp
hive now been satisfactorily adjusted,
and peace and harmony reign among the
musician sons of Mars. When the regi
ment arrived Saturday it was discovered
that no provision had ben made for
the tenting of the band, as Quartermaster
Vandllng had been unable to receive sum
dent space in tho encampment allotment.
Last year the bandmeu had a street to
themselves, and therefore when thoy
found out that this time every man would
have to shift for himself, moans and
lamentations arose on high. A number of
members of the band attempted to enter
the non-commissioned officers' row, but
the latter were up In arms Immediately,
i they needed all the available room for
themielve. many of them entertaining
guests. Things Anally canve their way,
end now Sergeant R. J. Bauer and pis
via are among the happiest soldiers in
etwp, with quarter located a short dU
Ujica from the non-cemmlasloned officers'
his achievements will fully mate those
of Compnay D's famous ram, last year at
Mt. Gretna.
Matthew Brown, the hatter, Is the
guest of Sergeant Major F. X. Wasraan,
of the First battalion.
James Hayes, of Scranton, Is a guest
of Captnln Murphy, of Company C.
The oplenrtld work of Quartermaster
Sergeant Ralph Gregory, of Company D,
who came down with tho advance, wn?
greatly appreciated by tho members of
the company. Everything hart been pre
pared tn tiptop shape, and the boys were
quick to realize the fact.
Among the Scranton visitors In camp
Sunday were the Mlses I.eoua and Clara
Gregory, Miss Nettle Halleck and Mrs.
John Huff, wife of Company It's com
mander. Baibcr Louis Rlnsland, of Scranton, is
In chnrge of the "tonsorial parlors" in
camp, and la doing a ruhlng business.
Artificer William Rafter, of the 1'ntted
States army, who Is a guest if Company
C, hasn't been doing much loafing, but
Immediately on his arrival, sailed In and
started to make himself useful by help
ing in the cnmmissaiy department. The
artistic wnv In which William proceeded
to divide sides of beef, legs of mutton,
etc., is a sum co of gratification to all of
Lieutenant Koehler's 't.ifT.
Private Thomas f'ullcn. of Company K,
was orderly at brigade headquarters
Sunday.
En route to camp, the regiment was
met at Avoca by a large delegation of
the natives. Epworth League tracts were
distributed In the headquarters car by
Miss Myrtle Smith and Miss Jennie Bell,
two enthusiastic members of the League.
Jonathan Vlpond, of Scranton, is the
guest of Corporal Kiplc, of Company F.
Corporal Powell, of Company F. Sun

FredcrlokM. Klrchoff. one of the clerks
In the Lackawanna county commission
ers' office, was among tho local visitors
Sunday. He was accompanied by John
Miller and William Wachtor, of Lebanon,
formerly of Scranton.
Company F rejoices In a band of how
ling dervishes, who nightly put to shame
tho wildest of Midway performers.
First Lieutenant E. E. Berry Is one of
the best tacticians in camp, and. being
tall and soldierly-looking, commands con
Iderable attention.
Lieutenant Rclph Is one of the best
looking men in camp.
Corporal Malott Is one of the bard
workers of the company nnd seems to
have added to his military training that
of tho use of the "unlclc."
The honor of light of line during camp
was civen Company B, Colonel Watres
having transferred it from Third to First
battalion.
Too much celebration, Monday night,
and too lively a part played in Company
F'k midway performance, landed Private
Peter Grimes in tho guard house. Peter
took hla enforced lotirement stoically,
however, and peacefully smoked away
throughout his day's Imprisonment.
There is a possibility that a general
field day of sports will bo arranged, homo
day towards tho cud of the week, In
which every athletic youth In the regi
ment may participate and. make an ef
fort to win the laurel. Thcro aro sev
eral notably good athletes in the regi
ment, nnd competition would be keen in
the 100-yard dash, the biond and high
jumps, tho weight events nnd other con
tests. Corpoial Frank Coffin, of Company D,
Is probably the premier sprinter of the
regiment, and for the matter of that
would piobably give any man in the
division a pretty good run for his hon
ors. Although Cotlln Is heavy of build
and doesn't look liken i tinner, still he is
fleet as a haie, and the members of his
company would like tn see him meet some
outsider. Sergeant Major "Bob" Vnll is
another young man, who can run n little.
On July 1, 1000, ho won fhe 100-yard dash
In a running mulch open to all tho 1'nltod
States soldiers In that dlstilct of the
Philippines, whom his regiment was sta
tioned. He received a gold mcdul In token
of his victory. Coffin has, however,
beaten out Vail, Tho former has a iccord
of 10 Hat for the 100.
The grounds hero nre falily covered
with fakirs who sell to tho unwary me-
mentoes of nil kinds and dcseilptlons.
Their wares vary in quality from the
ordinary llttlo bronzo medal, to jagged
broken pieces of motal, which are claimed
to bo fragments of shells. An officer who
has been hero before, whimsically re
marked when he Haw the mementoes on
salo; "S.imo old shell game. They havo
sold enough of that stuff In tho last
twenty years to have blown to pieces a
dozen Federal nnd Confederate army
camps."
Captain demons, the new captain of
Company 1, Is a worthy successor to that
iibla officer, who preceded him in mm
mand. Captain Horn. The new captain
Is tall and straight, and looks tho sol
dier, every Inch of him.
Lieutenant Colonel J, W Oakford, of
Scianton, has been In camp the last twq
days.
Lnrge numbers of the soldiers dally
take trips over the historic sections of the
battlefield, nnd look with Interest at the
countless monuments erected to the mem
ory of the biavo soldleis of tho past.
Mrs. K. H. Rlpplo is now with her bus
band, Colonel K. H. Ripple, .it his quar
ters, at the division heights.
Sergeant Major Charles Adams, of the
Third battalion yesterday discovered a
relic n tho form of the hone of a man's
forearm. He found It on Seminary Ridge.
Corporal James Brock, of Company F,
sprained his ankle while at drill yester
day. Lieutenants Henshaw and Brelg, of
Company, F, Sergeant Major Charles
Adams, of the Third battalion, Corporal
Caryl and Privates Ryan and Cleveland,
of F, enjoyed a carriage trip over the en
tire scene of the three days' fighting Sun

Six striking miners ynsterdny re
turned to work at the Dlcftson colliery
of the Delaware, nnd Hudson company.
They waited on Superintendent Rose in
n body nnd asked to be given employ
ment saying they were "tired of the
strike" nnd unable to stnnd tho hard
ships of Idleness nny longer, Mr. Roso
riranged to give them work cleaning up
roadways and the like and yesterday
they went Into the mine.
This Is the first Instnncc of a number
of miners returning to work together.
For two weeks past the different com
panies have made places for Individual
applicants for reinstatement, but until
yesterday none of them repoi ted a num
ber of miners banding together and go
ing back to work,
Superintendent Phillips, of tho Dela
ware, Lnckawanna and Western com
pany, said yesterday that not a day
passes but what several miners come
Into the office nnd nsk to be given
work. They are, as a rule, told there Is
no work for them, nnd thnt If they
want to go to work It will he necessary
for them to make application In num
bers sufficient to start up a colliery.
WILL CONSIDER MATTER.
Tho company is not anxious just yet
to resume operations at a single col
liery, but if seventy-five of the miners
at any one colliery apply in a hody he
will consider tho advisability of start
ing It up.
It is reported that there are eighty
three men now employed at the Cayuga,
most of them In cleaning up the debris
and repairing the damage of last week's
tire. Two miners started to work yes
terday at the Brlsbln. At tho Marvlne,
r number of ex-strikers are said to be
employed in helping bricklayers con
struct a new air course, which requires
In Its building 108,000 bricks. It is also
reported that miners aro acting as com
pany hands In largo numbers at vari
ous other collieries, assisting in brick
nnd carpentry work, cleaning up roads
and timbering.
The local delegates to the Indianap
olis convention left yesterday. Those
from district No. 1, numbered about one

NAMING OF A HOOSIER TOWN.
The Story an Apostrophe Tells on a
Railway Station Sign.
From tho Chicago Tribune,
Indiana Is full of towns with queer
names. But tho queerest of them all
has so fnr been left In Inntriilsh In un
deserved obscurity, People who are nc-'
qimlnted with that portion of Darkest
lndiaim, which lies in tho immediate
vicinity of Crawfordsvllle, must have
seen on tho signboard of a Uttlu rail
road Elation, as thoy rushed by on a
limited train, this astonishing name;
H'TOWN.
Behind that apostrophe Ilea the story
of tho joke which a rich old Indiana
farmer plnycd on the directors of a
grenl rnilrond' company. The farmer In
question owned several thousand ncrca
of land In one body. When tho railroad
wns built It wns found necessary to
cut through his land. Tho right of way
agents went to the old farmer and
asked him to set a price on a strip run
ning through his farm a few hundred
feet wide.
He Uughed at them and said his land
was not for sale at nny price. He
didn't believe In railroads anyhow and
didn't want one running through his
properly. They offered him n huge
price for the land, for they had found
other property owners In tho vicinity
reasonable nnd did not care to start
any condemnation sulls unless It was
absolutely neccssnry. But the old far
mer would not listen to them. His In
come was twice as large as ho cured
to spend, nnd ho rather enjoyed tho po
sition of blocking all the efforts of a
great corporation.
Tho claim agents made up their
minds that they would have to start a
suit, and were about ready to bring It
when they were surprised to get a let
ter from the old farmer.
"If you'll let mo name the town you
are going to build on my land," he
said, "I'll give you all the land you
need."
They accepted his terms with glee.
Of course, they expected that his vanity
would lead him to name the town af
ter himself, and they were quite pre
pared for that emergency. But he
fooled them. A written agreement was
Orawn up and signed and the deeds
passed. Then they asked him for his
name. The old man grinned broadly.
"We'll call it Helltown," he said.
Thoy argued with him until they saw
it was useless. They could not back
out, for the papers had already been
signed. Then they decided they would
git even in another way. The elided
tht second third, and fourth letters of
the name and put in their place an in
nocent apostrophe. And so tho name
of the village is "H'town" to this day.

Mile, Adelo Hugo, an Old Woman,
Still Living Near Paris.
Fiom tho Commercial Advertiser.
Many persons nre under tho impres
sion that Mile. Adoie Hugo, daughter
of the great poet, whose centenary Is
about to be observed with magnificence
in Paris, is dead and buried, after hav
ing passed the greater part of her ex
istence In a private asylum. It was
always knowVi that Adele Hugo had
been crossed In love, and that her rea
son became affected thereby. She was
placed In a private asylum near Vlu
ceunes, and for years was lost bight of
by all except a few friends and i da
tives. A lady who writes for the Fronde
has been making diligent investigations
und states that she has found Adele
Huco alive, in good health, and in full
possession of all her faculties. The
poet's daughter is Using comfortably hi
nn establishment on the batiks of the
Peine near Paris. The place must be
kept a secret, owing" to the wishes of
the family. Anyhow, Adele Hugo, now
a lino, tall, gray-haired old lady of
seventy-two years, Is there attended by ,
a companion aim a mum. one i.ikcu
daily walks In the park of the establish
ment, occupies herself with scientific
studies, being especially Interested In
ubtrouoiuy, and occasionally goes to a
theatre, where she sits in railed box,
unseen by tho people. ThetiC periodical
visits to tho playhouse form Adele Hu
go's only concessions to the present age,
for she- chiefly lives, we are told by
the lady Investigator, In the past, and
never reads a newspaper. She Is com
pletely in the dark about the enormous
preparations being made at present for
the celebration of the centenary ot her
famous father's birth.
Another writer, M. Octave Usiauuc,
notes today that It was Adele who col
lected her father's table talk between
lS5i nnd 1856, the first years of his exile.
The manuscript of this collection whs
seen by M. Unanne in tho establishment
of an autograph dealer near tho British
Museum. He wns prevented by tho
poet's family from publishing any frag
ments of the talk ten years back, but
now, on the approach of tho centenary,
he communicates a few extracts to tho
Kcho de Paris. Like Luther, Coleridge
and Blhinarck, Hugo discussed many
things nt table, and nearly everything
that he said was Interesting, Some of
his conversation, as M. Uzanne appro
priately points out, revealed his Innate
vanity, nnd showed that he was ran-
inrous to those who failed to treut him
with due consideration.
The board of .associated charities Is
In need of money to carry on Its work,
and at the meeting last evening In the
tiostofflcc building requested tho news
paper representatives to so Inform the
public.
This notification ought to be sufficient
to interest all. Contributions can be
sent to the secretary, Ilcv. Itogers
Israel, D. D., rector of St. Luke's Epis
copal church, or to tho agent of tho
society, Mrs. W. B. Duggan.
The treasurer's report showed the
total receipts for the month ending
July 15 to be $117.70, nnd the amount
paid out was $154,74, leaving a cash bal
ance mi hand of $15.43, with bills
amounting to over $300 yet to be paid.
The Kecelpts from boxes in Zelgler's
Cafe were $4,15, and Hotel Jermyn,
$1.85, a total of $6. A number of bills
presented wore ordered paid.
The agent, Mrs. Duggan, reported as
follows: Applications since last meet
ing, 127; Investigations, 71, found wor
thy, 51; unworthy, 20; advice given,
5G; found lodging and meals, 16; found
homes for, 4; employment for, 4;
transportation for, S; legal advice for,
10; sent to Lackawanna hospital, 1;
to Home of Good Shepherd, 5; to Hill
side Home, 6; to Florence Mission, 2;
to various other institutions, for chil
dren, 2; to private Individuals. 3; to
churches, 6; arrested, 1; to industrial
school, 2; to Home of Good Shepherd,
Philadelohia, 1.
In view of the fact that so many city
and police cases are turned over to
tho board for Investigation, the mem
bers were of the opinion that provision
should be made by councils to appro
priate money to help carry on the work,
and a move with that end in view will
be made.
Mrs. Duggan reported that Eddie
Crample, the boy whose father chained
him up in tho barn some time ago, is
"a really bad boy," and that he will
be taken into court and an effort made
to have him sent to the house of
refuge.
She also reported that but few ap
plications for work have been received
from any of the striking mine workers,
and that the demand Is no more than
is usual at any other time.

"Here, 1 llcured on a little morning
sleep," declared the protestant, "but do
I get It? 1 should say not!"
"What's the matter?" .auked the clerk,
soothingly.
"Ragtime! That's what's the matter,"
replied the guest. "It comes from room
No. JOS. Who It Is I don't know, but
he's been playing ragtime for two hours,
and no sign of a let up."
"First it was 'My Creole Lady," with
sixteen million variations. Then lia
switched to T Want You, My Baby, Yes,
I Do." "
"Did she got It?" asked tho clerk.
"Guess not, for then she jumped to 'I
Want to Be a LeadtiiK Lady,' and she
evidently expected an 'angel' to assist
her ambitions, for next she played 'If
You Ain't Got No Money You Needn't
Como Around." "
"You don't know a good thing -when
you hear it," remarked the clerk. "Here
you are hearing a $J concert free, and
yet you aro kicking. That was Mr. Josef

To Paid-Up Subscribers

recplve the two magazines each month for one year.
To Non-Subscribers

regular rate of 50 cents per month. You can then secure the two magazines by paying $1,25.
To Subscribers Who Wish

been paying by the month or at the end of the year, and wish to pay for The Tribute a year In ad
vance, you can get The Tribune, The Cosmopolitan and the Woman's Home Companion, each for
ono vear, for $6.25, just 25 cents more than you have been paying for The Tribune alone.
To Contestants in The Tribune's Educational Contest
You should explain this liberal offer to those you ask 'to subscribe for The Tribune. If they
will pay you $1.25 In addition to the price of The Tribune they will receive these two magazines
one year. Sample copies of the magazines will be furnished you free. Here are the prices, whero
