His Reply to New York's Surgeon General.
Washington, Sept.'!. Secretary Alger
yestcrduy received Uie report of Gen
eral II. V. Uoynlcm upon the state of
affairs In the hospitals at Camp
Thomas. The leport Is dated Aug. 2D.
Says General Boynton:
"Believing the death list of this camp
to afford an excellent standard by
which to measure Its conditions as to
health and hospital service, a full re
port was obtained ot all deaths In the
camp and lu its hospitals since Its es
llshnient in tho middle of April last.
The result shows a total death list of
198 up to the 22d of this month, when
the breaking up of this camp began.
Between these dates, including regulars
and volunteers, fully 75,00 troops have
been In camp In Chlokaltmauga Park.
The record of burials in the National
cemetery at Chattanooga shows a total
of 120 volunteers and 2 regulars. Of the
latter one of these was killed by falling
from a railway train."
The report takes up In detail first tho
two permanent hospitals, Ixdtcr and
Sternberg, and Btntes with tho greatest
minuteness tho exact accomodation af
forded by each. The first is at Crawfish
Springs, under cbnrgc of Mnjor Carter,
nnd was conyertod from a large sum
mer resort hotel Into a hospital, re
ceiving the worst typhoid cases from
the camp. Kach patient has abundant
room, woven wire and hair mattresses,
and abundnnt bed clothing, The ven
tilation is perfect, plumbing entirely
new and bathing facilities ample. The
number of attendants, when all are
well, Is entirely satisfactory, and at
tendants rne on the vay to take the
places of those who ure broken down.
Major Carter has secured a herd of
cows and lias arrangements for pas
turing them without expense to tho
government. lie has sufficient money
from the hospital fund to buy what
ever Is wanted In the way of milk, Ice
and other delicacies. Thi'ie has been at
this hospital full supplies of Ice, milk,
commissary stores' and delicacies such
as the stele ought to have, and the
funds have enabled him to buy nil that
has been needed In the way of canned
and potted goods, soups, clam Juice,
sago, malted milk, eggs, koumiss, Jel
lies, preserves, relishes, ginger, oil, ap
pollnarls, champagne and claret. The
entire hospital Is furnished with dis
tilled water and the ice used Is made
from distilled water. Tho sewerage of
the hospital Is excellent.
Taking up the Sternberg hospital, In
charge of Major Glffcn. General Boyn
ton shows that It Is one of the most
complete field hospitals over seen, ac
cording to veterans of the late war. Al
the tents are closely floored, and they
are separate. At present only four men
are In any tent, and in addition to the
tents there are nine large board pa
vilions. Every tent nnd pavilion has
woven wire mattresseB, Iron bedsteads
and hair mattresses. There are- es
pedal diet cooks, five cold storage
rooms for delicacies, separate refriger
ators for each row of tents, nnd every
proper measure of sanitation Is ob
served with respect to the sinks.
The First division hospital, In charge
of Major Drake, Is floored with planed
lumber and It Is as clean as Is possible,
being scrubbed with carbolic acid and
treated with blcholrlde of mercury
evpry other day. All tho patients are on
cots and never havo been on tho ground
for any length of time. None of tho 60
cents allowance per man for delicacies
has been used, as It was not needed.
The next hospital Inspected was the
Third division hospital, Third corps. In
charge of Major Thoinus Clark. Here
the attendants were found sufficient,
though In the earlier days there were
not enough surgeons or attendants.
The grounds were In excellent condi
tion, the tents clean, most of the tents
floored nnd nil floored between the cots
and In tho aisles. For a time the hos
pital wns a week behind In obtaining
Its medical supplies, but this was be
fore the government hud collected Its
medical stores In great quantities.
Taking up the last of the flold hos
pltals, that of the Third corps, Socoml
division, under Major Smith, the re
port states that the G3 tents are at
present not all occupied, though, dur
ing the epidemic of measles, they were
crowded.
Leaving the details about the hospit
als tho report proceeds to treat the
whole subject generally as follows:
"In two of the hospitals opportunities
occurred for discovery of what un
doubtedly originated many of the sen
sational stories which have beon print
ed over the country to tho effect that
patients lu tho hospitals lacked suf
ficient food, and In many cases had been
on the verge or starvation. In the
wards where the convalescent typhoid
fever patients weie found many of the
men were constantly asking for food
and were ns a matter of course con
stantly denied everything except the
lighter forms of food, which can alone
be safely ndmlnlsteied to recovering
typhoid patients. This refusal ot food
throughout tho hospitals, by which care
alone, as is perfectly understood, can
the lives of typhoid convalescents be
saved, has been distorted Into the cry
which has been spread throughout the
country that patients were being

ELKIN ATTACKS WANAMAKER.

Philadelphia,. Sept. 1. Chairman El
lin, of the Republican state committee,
In a statement Issued Inst night an
swers, aa the head of the state organi
zation, the attneks on the party leaders
made by ex-Postmaster General John
Wanamnker and other members of the
Business Men's League.
Mr. Klleln says the organization has
endeavored to settle all differences In
the party inside the party lines, and
therefore has refrained heretofore from
making public reply to tho attacks
made upon It. Now, however, when tho
utterances of Mr. Wanamaker can only
be Interpreted to mean that ho has
placed himself outside the Republican
ranks, Mr. Elkln feels that the efforts
to distrust and, destroy the party In
the state should he checked. He makes
a general denial of Mr. Wnnamaker's
charges of extravagance In tho admin
istration of the people's affairs, nnd
flatly denies the assertion that the peo
ple aro burdened by tuxatlon. Itefer
Ing to charges of corporate Influence
In politics, Mr. Elkln declares that
under Republican laws the corporations
are mnde tn hear nearly all the bur
dens of luxation, the state revenue be
ing raised mainly iy taxation of cor
porations, cnlluteral and direct Inheri
tance, license fees. etc.
Heal estate, says Mr. Elkln, lias not
paid state tuxes since 1SC0. Although
Mr. Waimiimker himself transacts a
business of fiom $12,000,000 to $15,000,000
a year, he pays to the state government
only $1,000 mutually. Furthermore, Mr.
Elkln says, 60 of the 67 counties In the
state receive more for their Institutions,
school purposes, etc., than Is received
by the state from these counties.
In loference to Mr. Wanamaker's al
legation of favoritism In the loaning of
state funds to certain banks Mr. Elkln
says that In the last quarter of a cen
tury the state has not lost one cent
through default or dishonesty of the
state officials. Mr. Elkln Intimates that
the ex-postmaster general's fault find
ing with the party dates from his de
feat for governor In the recent conven
tion. v Social Ciiithrrilig.

The Borough of Shenandoah Holds the Key
to the Water Question and Will Con
tinue to Supply IU Residents
With Pare and Whole
some Water.
Tho question of tlio advisability of muni
cipalities owning water works Is a pertinent
one just at this particular time, when the
question of increasing tlio present supply of
the town has beon so tborouglily discussed
by tlio peoplo of Shenandoah during tho past
twoortlireo weeks.
Whatever may como out of tlio pa-sent
agitation, thorn will bo no lease or sale of the
borough water works. Such a proposition
would prove ono of two things, cither gross
incapacity upon the part of those having iu
charge tlio administration of tho plant, or
tlio result of well laid plans to put the
peoplo at tho mercy of a corporation. The
borough hulds the key to the water situation
iu Shenandoah, and tho people will be slow
to relinquish their rights in this connection.
Allentown owns Its own water plant, and
claims to clear $12,000 annually, besides af
folding low rates to consumors. The plant
is to be improved by purchasing a stream
with a How of 12,000,000 gallons daily, four
miles from the city, and which it is claimed
will cost tho city v150,000 to place it in con
tributing order.
Tlio Manual of American Water Works.
compiled by M. N. Baker, one of tho editors
of Euginoerinc Nows. and tlm Wdh.ir
authority of tho United States on all matter?
elating to water works, contains a tabl
showing the dill'erenco In rates under tho
two systems of ownership iu all parts of the
united suites and Canada. This tabic, com
piled from original reports received by the
editor of The Manual, may lo accepted as
conclusive in regard to the question of com-
,aiiiiiYu laws, ino cmorence (In average
raies per iamny.Dy groups of States) between

For the whole United States,, the average
of family rentals iu cities having public
woiks is $21.55; in those having private
works. $30.82 a difference of tu.27 per
ivfamilv..qr is re cent, in favor of public
works.
As between private and public management
ot watei work it may bo admitted that
private management is the moro economical.
Jiut private owners get the boueilt of
economics; tho consumers of water do not.
Once established, water plants do not require
a numerous or costly superintendence. Tho
ract that tboio is no necessity foi a large
number of employes stands in itself as a
strong additional argument in favor of muni
cipal control.
Ceiitriillu's Stimuli,
The Contralia public schools have not beon
opened for the new term, and up to the pres
ent time no dato for their opening has been
decided upon. Tho School Board is still
leadlocked over the princlpalsliip, aud there
will bo no meeting of the Board until
Wednesday evening next. At thit timo it is
believed tho priucipalship will bo disposed of
finally one way or tho other, and then tho
dato for tho opening of tho schools will be
annouueed. The peoplo of Contralia are in
dignant because of the delay, and if the
question is not finally settled at tho next
mooting of the Board, a petition will be pre
