Kivo the boys a spread in the bail park, south of the fair grounds. In a letter to the Governor yesterday. Col. Smith said rhat ten of his thirty sick will need ambulances. Mayor Taggart received the following t< legram from Representative Jesse Overstreet relative to the arrival of the Twenty-seventh Battery, which is sailing from Porto Rico on the transport Poncho: "Impossible to give hour of arrival of the Poncho. May arrive night of 13th or night or 14th or later. No word from the battery since its departure.” INCIDENTS OF THE TRIP. Tlie Men Hnd No I'nasnal Experiences on the tV#y Home. The trip home of the One-hundred-and-fifty-nlnth Regiment was made without many unusual Incidents. The regiment left <’amp Meade, near Middletown, Pa., Sunday afternoon at 5:06 o’clock, in four sections, the last of which, containing the two hospital cars and fourteen sick men, was under the command of Colonel Barnett. The first section was under the command of Major Fee. At Pittsburg yesterday morning at 1 o’clock a journal broke down and the section was delayed one hour and thir-ty-seven minutes, the second section, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel McCoy and Major McAuliff, meantime passing it, so that the second section arrived first. It pulled into the Union Station at 3:10 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Here*ample arrangements for the reception of the battalion had been made by the Board of Trade, which served fifty-six gallons of coffee and one thousand sandwiches to the four companies that constituted the second battalion. Companies A, of Vincennes: B, of Terre Haute; I>, of Washington,and K, of Princeton. Mrs. J. F. Kurfiss, Mrs. J. M. McGee and Miss Jessie Bird superintended the work of distributing the coffee and sandwiches. The train lay in the station some time awaiting orders from Colonel Barnett. As it was getting so late it was decided best to have the men remain in the cars over night. On the way home, Major McAuliff said there bad been but few incidents out of the ordinary. The men had plenty to eat and were furnished coffee. In Pittsburg citizens were on hand to furnish the boys with good things to eat After the train crossed the Indiana line the soldiers were given an enthusiastic reception at all places through which they passed. Two or three of the men who had been indisposed before leaving camp became ill. One of them, Private Spurgeon A. Cain, of Company K, was taken from the train and assisted to the city abulance by two of his comrades, and then taken to the City Hospital. He appeared to have the fever. Last night the hospital phyBicians said his case was not apparently serious. After remaining on the track for some time the train was hauled to the Grantstreet yards. Colonel H. T. Houghton, master of transportation, learning that there would not be room for the four sections on the South-street yards, It was considered best to use the Grant-street yards where there would be room for the fifty cars of the regiment. MAJOR FEE’S SECTION DELAYED. There was a long wait before the next section, commanded by Major Fee, reached the Union Station. This section had been delayed three hours by minor accidents, none of which resulted in personal Injury to any man. At Pittsburg, after one of the sleepers was disabled, the railroad company put in another that only held thirty of the fortyeight men the first car had contained, and the train was about to pull out when Lieut. McCormick, who was guarding the train, discovered the situation and declared that not a wheel should turn until another car was provided for the eighteen men that did not even have standing room, say nothing about a place to sleep. "We have no more sleeping cars,” was the statement with which he was met. "Then put in a day coach,” he replied After considerable delay this was done, making fourteen coaches on the section, and the train pulled out again. At Columbus, 0., and at Cambridge City the train was further delayed, but aside from the annoyance there was no serious result. Captain Hawkins, assistant surgeon, was with this section. He said that there were three or four men who were indisposed, but that their condition was not so critical as to require their removal to the City Hospital. He thought if it became necessary they could be transferred to the hospital cars after the trains were in the yards. This section contained the companies constituting the first battalion, Companies E, M, F and I. Major Fee was enthusiastic about the hospitality of Pennsylvania people, who did everything possible to make the journey of the men pleasant. While the trains were in the station coffee and sandwiches were dispensed by the Board of Trade committee. The second section was still on the tracks when the third, containing the companies of the third battalion, C, H, G and L, under command of Major Lowden. rolled In. it had been standing in the yards down near the Home brewery for an hour, while Station Master Lewis was getting the tracks cleared of the regular trains. Major Lowden had five sick men that he thought ought to have better medical attention than they could get in the crowded sleepers. Mayor Taggart telephoned for the city ambulance and they were taken to the City Hospital. The major said the trip of bis battalion l ad been as uneventful as that on the other sections. The men were all in good spirits and glad to get home, so long as they knew there was no chance to see any active service. There was more coffee and sandwiches for the boys, who hung out of the windows "jollying” the crowd. COL. BARNETT S SECTION ARRIVES. It w'.s about 8 o’clock before Colonel Barnett’s section, containing the two hospital cars, under charge of Major Surgeon Stunkard. arrived. Lieutenant Waterman, Colonel Houghton and Secretary Wilson at once boarded the car to consult with Col. Barnett concerning the care of the sick and the movement of the regiment this morning. They were joined by Dr. O. S. Runnels, chief surgeon on the Governor’s staff, who explained what arrangements bad been made for the care of all sick Indiana volunteers at Camp Mount. Major Stunkard said the men had been put to bed for the night and were resting comfortably. He thought It would be as well to leave them until morning. After consideration, however, he decided to send two of the worst cases to the City Hospital, Mayor Taggart coming aboard to say that a hospital ambulance was waiting. Colonel Barnett and Major Stunkard seemed to think that ample arrangements were to be had at the camp hospital and that most of the men could be cared for th’re, although there were two or three that would likely be better off some place else than In tents. Dr. Runnels assured the colonel that ambulances for the removal of the sick from the train to the camp hospital would be in waiting on the arrival of the regiment at Camp Mount. Lieut. Waterman said that ail the wagons necessary to transport the baggage to the camp ground would be on hand. Colonel Barnett agreed to all the suggestions that were made. There was a question as to whether the men should march to Sixteenth street and there take street cars for the camp. In some cases the railroads have refused to transport men further than the Union Station without additional charge. Colonel Barnett said that while his transportation read “to Indianapolis.” there was an agreement that the curs were to run to C&mp Mount and he had no doubt the agreement would be kept. If the railroad intended to charge switching charges, etc., it would cost about $225 extra, while transportation by the street cars for the regiment would amount to only about $60.. The railroad, having promised to haul the trains to the ramp ground it was decided to board the cars again at Sixteenth street and the Moron tracks, after parading through the city. While this conference was on Senator Fairbanks came Into the colonel’s car and •pent a quarter hour with him. The senator frequently visited the regiment while It was at Camp Alger and became much interested in its welfare. He was recognized by a number of the volunteers, who greeted him and came forward to shake hands. After discussing the time of the parade a few minutes Colonel Barnett decided to have the first section puU into the Union Station this morning at 6:30 o’clock, the second at 7 o'clock, the third at 7:3) o’clock and the fourth at 8 o’clock. Allowing a half hour tor getting coffee it was hoped to

parade begin at 8:30 o’clock, and. barring unavoidable delays, this plan will be followed. THE HOSPITAL TRAIN. List of the Sick Brought Home—Stories of Camp Life. The hospital train was in charge of Major Surgeon Thomas C. Stunkard. The names of the sick are as follows: Privates Thomas Weyman, of Greencastle; Robert Payman, of Terre Haute; James Meyers, of Washington; Samuel Wrey, of Brownstown; Charles Goodman, of New Albany; Will Schultz, of Columbus; Seth Wyckoff, of Washington; Harry Soette, of Vincennes; Earl Lane, of Greencastle; H. S. Hall, of Danville; Melvin Reedy and Louis R. Bailey, of Vincennes; John Wlltz, of Washington, and Fred Darby, of Indianapolis. A number of patients are in a precarious condition, while others are convalescing and will be able to be out in a short time. Private Thomas Weyman has a severe attack of typhoid and malarial fever, and has the constant attention of a nurse. Private W. J. Osborn, of Company M, Evansville, is suffering from an attack of medulitis. Both men were taken to the City Hospital. The third section, commanded by Major Lowden, had several men who needed to go to the hospital, and they were taken in the city ambulance. They were: Alva Brothers, Company F, of Fincastle, not serious; John Beavers, Company G. Mooney, quite sick; Lewis Bailey, Company L, Vincennes, not serious; Oscar Corner. Company I, Greencastle, probably typhoid fever, not very serious; Emery Reedy, Company L, Vincennes, not serious. Spurgeon A. Cain, of Company K, of Hazelton, was taken from the first section. All of the men, the City Hospital physicians say, have some fever. Most of them have been ill but a day or two and their condition is not very serious. COMPLAINT OF CAMP ALGER. Great complaint is heard in regard to Camp Alger. One of the surgeons stated that it was not a fit place for the troops. When the regiments arrived there was not sufficient water for five hundred men, and consequently great suffering prevailed. Afterwards the water Supply was improved. The men suffered from dysentery, measles, typhoid fever and malaria, one hundred men beiog down at one time with these various diseases. The number of men answering sick call each morning averaged about 150. Major Surgeon Thomas C. Stunkard says the One-hundred-and-<ttfty-ninth Regiment was equipped with the best medical outfit that could be procured when it left Indianapolis, having sufficient supplies to last the regiment, under ordinary circumstances, for three months. On several occasions when the regimental hospital was inspected at Camp Alger the inspector commented on the completeness of the medical department. But as the sickness increased the division drew largely on the medical supplies. It was next to an impossibility to procure these supplies after the first outfit had been exhausted. A requisition was made on the brigade, the brigade drew on the division, but the supplies were not forthcoming. The division surgeon could not procure the supplies from the surgeon general in Washington on account of the great demand from all sources. When the government commenced this campaign no one had the least idea that such a vast amount of medicine would be required. Major Surgeon Stunkard says that to till the needs of his 'regiment it required about fifteen hundred grains of quinine each day. other medicines in proportion. The only source from which the medicines could be quickly obtained was from one of the branches of the Red Cross Society, but it was not often that the regiment was near one of these stations of tne Red Cross.

The officers also say it was a serious mistake to mass 1,3C0 men in a space of two blocks, as was done at Camp Alger, and leave them in the same location for six weeks. The ground at Camp Alger was such that in time of rain it would not absorb the water, causing it to stand in shallow places. One of the causes of sickness In the regiments at Camp Alger was that the authorities allowed the fakirs and hucksters to sell ices, circus lemonade and various other nicknacks to the men. These itinerant merchants would line up back of the camps as though it were a market space until the thing became so obnoxious to the health of the rnen that the fakirs were driven away. The surgeons state that it is remarkable that Colonel Barnett’s regiment went through the campaign without more serious losses. When the Or.e-hundred-and-fifty-ninth Regiment arrived at Camp Alfer Major Surgeon Stunkard was appointed rigade surgeon, and his attention was thereby partly diverted from the regiment. Dr. Eugene Hawkins, assistant surgeon, was appointed executive officer of the division hospital and Dr. W. S. Davis was left in charge of the regiment, but afterwards Dr. Davis was taken ill and Dr. Hawkins, assistant surgeon, was transferred back to the regiment. COMPLAIN OF LONG MARCHES. The men have much to say about the long march they were forced to make from Camp Alger to Thoroughfare Gap. The march began on Aug. 4. The weather was very warm and dry at the start, but the following days heavy rains set in. The men were compelled to march from ten to fifteen miles each day, rain or shine. One of the officers of Cortipany B stated that the shoes of the men fell apart, the soles falling off as though they consisted of paper. It is said the requisitions came in the various departments so heavily for equipments that the authorv.ies were forced to go into the open market and* buy whatever stock they could find. This officer further stated that there were over twenty barefooted men in Company B. The first day of the march the dust was very thick on the roads and the rain of the following days made the roads hard to travel over. The One-hun-dred-and-tifty-ninth Indiana Regiment was a part of the First Brigade, Second Division, Second Army Corps. The greater part of the division made this march and the officers say the men were fed such poor food that in a number of the other regiments the soldiers became so desperate that one evening they killed half a dozen cows, a number of hogs and caught all the fowls In the vicinity, the owners of which are now sending their claims to the government for damages. When the brigadier general was informed of the fact he stopped these depredations. Some of the men of Colonel Barnett's regiment state that they were fed on hard tack and potatoes on the sixty-mile march from Camp Alger to Thoroughfare Gap and that it was the fault of the company commissary and quartermaster officers that they did not receive better rations. The men say these officers should have been reminded o.’ their duty by the commanding officer. One of the surgeons states that the men had only two days’ rations for six days. When the regiment arrived at Burke station, one of the camps en route the sixty-mile march, only four hundred men answered the roll call, the others having been left in the rear and did not arrive until several hours later. But the men soon recovered from the bad effect of Camp Alger and improved notwithstanding the march. The men crossed Bull Run creek waist deep. The evening the regiment arrived at Thoroughfare Gap a heavy rain was falling. All the blankets, tents and other equipage was wet. The ground was soggy and unfit for a camping ground. These officers say it is a miracle that more men did not die. The One-hundred-and-fifty-ninth Regiment camped at the following places: Camp Alger, May 24 until Aug. 4; Camp Burke. Aug. 4 until Aug. 8; Camp Bristow, Aug. 8. until Aug. 10; Camp Thoroughfare Aug. 10 until Aug. 28; Camp Meade Aug. 28 until Sept. 4. THE MEN IN HOSPITALS. Not a man was left behind at Camp Meade. Not all the men of the regiment, however, are here. Quite a number were left behind in various hospitals when the regiment moved several times. Following is a list of the sick who are in hospitals: At Fort Myer. Va.—Capt. W. J. Coleman. Company C; Lieut. F. R. Farrow, Company E; Robert Amos, Company M; Corporal Abe Buckingham, Company G; Samuel Cardwell, Company H; Sumner Cox, Company L; Melvin Creech and Norman East, Company H; Fred Finney, Company K; Frank H.

Colouel Barnett Explains His Fart in It. The men have many camp episodes and stories to relate. One of them relates to the "saw-horse” that was constructed by order of some of the officers. The men tell of a private who was placed on this "sawhorse” and kept In the broiling sun for four hours. This was the case of Private Cooper. The men denounce it as an outrage. The "saw-horse” consisted of an arrangement in the shape of a saw-buck, over the bar of which the culprit was placed. A party of soldiers had planned to make splinters of this machine, but the night they attempted to carry out their plans the "sawhorse” disappeared. Colonel Barnett was not inclined to discuss newspaper stories of discontent in his regiment. Concerning the episode of Private Cooper, who was compelled to ride a "saw-horse,” the colonel said that at the time that punishment was meted out he was in command of the brigade. One day an officer of the regiment reported that “Cooper has been away without leave, again.” A brigade officer present, who had been in the regular army, remarked that formerly notorious violators of camp regulations had been punished by being made to ride a “saw-horse.” Colonel Barnett at that time paid little attention to what was said, so he claims. The case of Private Cooper was referred in the regular way, he said, to the field court, which passed sentence upon him. Instead of placing him in close confinement in the guardhouse for twenty days and fining him $lO as might have been done, the "saw horso” was resorted to. Colonel Barrett insis’ts he simply approved the sentence. In passing through the camp he saw Cooper was seated on the “saw-horse.” TVo guards were with him with instructions to take him down if he showed any signs of pain. Colonel Barnett describes the "sawhorse” as being a sappling eighteen inches in circumference placed in the crotch of crossed poles, held in place by a brace nailed across below the sapling. When he saw Cooper the latter was seated on the sapling holding by the cross timbers and resting his feet on the brace. "He could not have suffered pain,” said the colonel. “He was taken down once for a rest. After the punishment he got down and walked to dinner. He did not go to the hospital; lie has not been on the sick list. I learned afterward that the evidence at the field court showed Cooper pleaded guilty to being absent three days without leave. He was a frequent offender. Our guardhouse had nothing about it to terrify offenders. It was nothing more than a tent near the woods, and men supposed to be in the guardhouse were generally sitting on logs. There were some cases where something more severe than mere confinement was necessary. I learned afterward that Cooper had not only absented himself, but that he had done so after his captain had refused him leave of absence. That was insubordination. and should have been tried by a general court. At the time this occurred the regulations were such that a sentence of the field court must either be approved or disapproved. If disapproved, the offender would go scot free. There was no chance for a sentence to be modified if considered too severe. No mar. in the One-hundred-and-fifty-seventh Regiment was ever punished that did not have a fair trial. I have always done what at the time seemed to be my duty. I was there to command the regiment.” Concerning the report that petitions circulated by men asking that they be mustered out had been suppressed, the colonel said that it was against the army regulations for such petitions to be circulated, and he hacl suggested to the majors that they ought not to be permitted. No man was arrested for circulating petitions nor court-martikled for that cause. There are army regulations by which any man has a right to have any grievance heard, and such rights were always respected, he said. Circulating petitions, the colonel says, was not the way for the men to secure a hearing under the regulations. Any thing coming through the prescribed channels was always given the right consideration.

THE IGOTH REGIMENT. Representative Steele’s Effort to Have It Furloughed. Representative Steele made a strong effort in Washington yesterday to have the One-hundred-and-sixtieth Regiment sent home on a sixty days’ furlough. He called on the President twice, the second time in company with Adjutant General Corbin. The President would not give Mg. Steele any real encouragement. He said that if he granted the request in this case and sent Colonel Guilder’s regiment heme he would be overwhelmed with requests of a similar character from others, who were equally entitled to the favor. He did not say positively that he would not do as Mr. Steele asked, but said he would take the, matter under advisement. The Journal’s Washington correspondent asked Adjutant General Corbin yesterday afternoon if it would be safe to send encouraging news to Indiana, and to intimate that the furlough might be granted. "I wouldn’t do it if I were you,” was the reply. Mr. Steele left for home yesterday afternoon. Battery Spread at Tomlinson Hall. An executive committee has been appointed by those in charge of the reception to be given to old Battery A and given full power to act in completing the plans already decided upon. The boys will be marched to Tomlinson Hall and treated to a good substantial meal and then there will be speech making and a general good time. Friends and relatives of the soldiers will be reserved seats in the balcony. F. E. Carney, of the Twenty-seventh 1 littery, arrived at Fortress Monroe, Va., on the Panama Saturday night. He hag been sick and was sent ahead of the other boys from Porto Rico. Tickets for Soldiers’ Aid Society. A committee from the Soldiers’ Aid Society, consisting of Miss Jessie Bird and Mrs. W. E. English, called on Secretary Kennncdy, of the State Board of Agriculture, yesterday to make arrangements for the admission of the ladies who are to attend the sick soldiers in the hospital this week. Fifteen ticke ts for each day will be allowed the ladies and those for to-morrow were turned over to Mrs. English, who announces they will be distributed this morning at 10 o’clock at St. Paul’s Church. Quartermaster Hopkins Seriously 111. Quartermaster Milton J. Hopkins, of the One-hundred-and-fifty-eighth Indiana, is lying at his home, No. 1723 Ash street, in a critical condition. He has a severe attack ol' typhoid fever. Tills Soldier is Happy. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Sept. 12.—Mrs. W T . O. Horr, of this city, is in receipt of a letter from her son Argus, who is a member of the Richmond company, with the One-hun-dred-and-sixty-lirst, at Jacksonville. Mrs. Horr wrote to her son for a statement of facts concerning the food and treatment of the soldiers. He says: “The breakfast this morning was the poorest meal that we have had in a long time. We had boiled potatoes, boiled ham, gravy, coffee, with pit nty of sugar, and. of course, plenty of hard tack. It is not true that we are badly treated by our officers. You know some folks are always in trouble, which they make for themselves. Those who persist in running the guard line and doing other things contrary to the rules are about the only ones who have complained of bad treatment. I am perfectly well and ‘happy as a big sunflower.’ ’’ ALMOST DESERTED. Only Two Regiment* Now Cnmped at ChickamHUga Park. CHICKAMAI'GA PARK, Ga.. Sept. 12. Only two regiment of the Camp Thomas army remain at Chlckamauga Park tonight—the Ninth New York and the Sixth United States Volunteer Infantry immunes. The Second Kentucky left to-night for Lexington, where it will be paid off and furloughed for thirty days. The Ninth New York Regiment was paid off to-day and will leave for home to-morrow. Gen. Breckinridge has received no orders yet as to his own movements, but he expects to be* ordered away to-morrow or Wednesday, as all troops will have vacated the park ex-

cept the Sixth Volunteers, which is to remain for guard duty. The health reports from Sternberg and Leiter hospitals to-day were gratifying to General Breckinridge and show that every care and attention are being given the sick. There was no death at either of the hospitals. Nine were discharged from Leiter as convalescents and forty-four from Sternberg. There are few serious cases now in either institution. Official reports sent to the War Department to-day show that since the movement of troops to Chlckamauga Park began in April tnere have been 72,000 soldiers under canvas at this camp. Fifth Ohio Welcomed Home. CLEVELAND, 0., Sept. 12.—The Fifth Ohio Volunteer Regiment arrived here today from Fernandina, Fla., on two special trains of twenty coaches each over the Big Four Railroad, and was received with an enthusiastic demonstration. The arrival of the soldiers was announced by the ringing of bells, the blowing of innumerable steam whistles, tlie roar of cannon and the cheers of thousands of people, who surrounded the Union Station and crowded the streets. The soldiers marched through the down-town streets to the Central Armory, escorted by the G. A. R. and other organizations anil a long line of young ladies dressed in white. After addresses of welcome at the armory the returning soldiers were served with a bountiful meal. The Fifth will go into camp here for thirty days, at the expiration of which it will be mustered out. There were 1,057 officers and men who came in to-day, the rest of the 1,350 members of the regiment being sick or on furlough. Illinois Colonel Arrested. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 12.—Colonel Andel, of the Fourth Illinois Regiment, was placed under arrest to-day on charges preferred by Lieut. Col. McWilliams, charging him with conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. The trouble grows out of the arrest some time since of one of the majors of the regiment for stating that the regiment desired to go to Cuba. The Second Mississippi Regiment left here to-day for Lauderdale Snrings, Miss., and will arrive there to-morrow. Mayor Knight is in receipt of a letter from President McKinley, in response to .an invitation sent to him, stating that it will be impossible for him to come here at the present time to review the Seventh Corps, consequently it is not likely that the contemplated review will take place. Preparing? for Service in Cuba. CAMP MEADE, Middletown, Pa., Sept. 12. —Chief Surgeon Girard has issued a circular advising the surgeons of the corps to avoid, whenever possible, the practice of sending sick soldiers to the hospital at all hours of the day and night. His scheme is to keep the invalids in the regimental hospitals over night and send them to the general hospitals in the morning. He also directed that hereafter the address of the family or nearest relative of invalid soldiers be recorded when they are admitted to the hospital so they may be notified in case of serious illness. The muster out at camp is almost completed and General Graham expects to have his corps soon organized for service in Cuba. The regiments which have not received their winter equipment compiain of cold nights.

Soldier and Civilian Shot. GALVESTON, Tex., Sept. 12.—Edward Alex. Callahan, a private In the First United States Volunteers (immunes), was shot to death last night, and his companion. Jack Elliott, a civilian, was wounded in the abdomen. Harry Jones, a superanuated policeman, surrendered himself. He says he attempted to arrest the men who had imposed on a little boy, and they threw him down, kicked him and began knifing him. The immunes wero paid off yesterday and most of them were down town celebrating. Notes of the Cnmpi. The First and Second Georgia Volunteers have been ordered mustered out. The Third Regiment of Mississippi Volunteers, Colonel W. R. Banks in command, is en route from Jackson to Lexington, Ky. where it will go into camp awaiting assignment to garrison duty. Wood M. Hale, a recruit of the Fifth Infantry. whose home is in Charleston, 111. died at Fort McPherson, Ga., yesterday, of peritonitis. Aaron Bodin. recruit, Company D. Third Infantry of St. Paul, died of typhoid fever. The Michigan military hospital train arrived at Atlanta, Ga.. yesterday. Two cars were left at Fort McPherson and the train, in charge of Colonel Loud, proceeded to Fernandina, Fla. The doctors accompanying the train decided to take only eight of the men from the general hospital at Atlanta, as the others are unable to move. Ralph Perry Smith, of Battery A. Pennsylvania Light Artillery, died suddenly at his home, in Nyack. N. Y., yesterday, aged twenty-one years. He arrived In New York from Porto Rico Saturday on the transport Mississippi suffering from disentery and jaundice. He was graduated from Princeton College in June last, enlisted in Battery A and went to Porto Rico Aug. 3. THE WEATHER MAN’S GUESS Cloudy Sky nml Occasional Ruins Predicted for To-Day.

Although the general is well advanced in years he is not too old to love, and we hope that he will not be discouraged by the disastrous termination of his recent bargain with Cupid. We should suggest, if we were consulted, the selection of a well-seasoned widow of good habits, cheerful disposition, and complete knowledge of family responsibilities—not too young and not too old, but at an age to conform to the requirements of a sprightly gentleman of ninety or thereabouts. Such a woman would be invaluable to our old friend, the general, apd we predict for her, if caught, a life of much happiness and genial companionship.

DEATH OF JUDGE COOLEY * AX EMINENT JURIST AXD FAMOUS COXSTITUTIOXAL LAWYER. ♦ —. A Mental and Physical Wreek for a Year, and Unconscious for Sev*eral W eeks Before His End. ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 12.—Judge Thomas M. Cooley, the noted jurist and constitutional lawyer, died early to-day at his home. Three months ago he returned from a private sanitarium at Flint, Mich., where he had been treated chiefly for mental weakness. He was then so much improved in health that he was able to recognize acquaintances. He realized his weak physical condition and his failing mental abilities and often expressed a wish that death would come. Several weeks ago he relapsed into a comatose condition. During the ensuing interval the only intelligible utterance he made was once when he inquired for his eldest son. His demise ,iad been expected for weeks past. For two years before his death he was unable to work on account of his disabilities, and in July, 1897, he was first sent to the sanitarium for treatment. Thomas Mclntyre Cooley was born in Attica, N. Y., on Jan. 6, 1824. In 1844 he took up his residence in Adrain, Mich., where he continued his law studies. He was admitted to the bar at Adrian in 1845, and the eame year married Miss Mary Elizabeth Horton. He practiced law without holding office until 1857, when he was chosen by the .Legislature to compile the statutes of the State, a work that, when finished, came to be considered a model for all those that were to follow. In that same year the State Supreme Court was organized, and he was chosen reporter. This position he held until 1864, when he was ai>pointed justice to lill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Manning. Meantime, in 1859, he had removed to Ann Arbor in order to till a chair in the University of Michigan, which chair, known as the Jay professorship, he held .for a period of twenty-five years. His lectures in the university were limited to legal and constitutional subjects until his resignation of the professorship, but on the appointment of Charles Kendal Adams to the presidency of Cornell University, he consented to accept temporarily the professorship of history, and gave lectures as such for one college year, also lecturing for several years thereafter on various subjects of political science. His lecture on the Federal Supreme Court and its place in the American constitutional system, which was the first of a series of lectures delivered by eminent speakers and writers in the university, was published by G. P. Putnam’s Sons in a volume entitled “The Constitutional History of the United States as Seen in the Development of American Laws.” Soon alter Judge Cooley’s appointment to thp bench he began the publication of a series of legal works that were produced rapidly during the next twelve years. His first work was a digest, the first in this State, of the decisions of the Supreme Court, which was followed in 1868 by what is probably his best known work, “The Constitutional Limitations Upon Legislative Power,” which has now' got through a dozen editions and has given him a very high rank among American legal writers. This was followed in 1872 by an edition of Blackstone’s Commentaries, and in 1874 by one of "Story on the Constitution.” In 1877 he published a volume on the “Law of Taxation” and another on “Torts.” He has also published a short summary of constitutional law and a history of Michigan, which was written in 1884 for a contribution to the American Commonwealths series, edited by Horace Scudder. Judge Cooley was also associate editor of Appleton’s Encyclopedia, for which he wrote all the law articles In the last edition. Up to three years before his late illness, which culminated so sadly, he was a prolific writer for the reviews and magazines of the day, for which he wrote many notable articles. Some years before the presidential campaign of 1884 he had published in a law journal of St. Louis an article on "The Responsibility of Public Officers,” which he began with the phrase, “A public office is a public trust’’—a phrase of which Colonel Lamont made such vigorous use in the campaign that its authorship was then and is usually now' credited to him. These articles for the magazines were mostly of a legal or governmental type, but sometimes also of a historical nature, and in 1889 he wrote an elaborate introduction to an illustrated work on “The American Railway,” in which railways and the principles controlling them, as w'ell as the laws for their regulation, were discussed. When Professor Bryce entered upon the preparation of his great work on the American Commonwealth he put himself in communication with Judge Cooley, and the notes that appear in the completed work shows that the reliance placed upon his opinions was very considerable throughout. Judge Cooley’s life was filled with work almost from its beginning wi en a schoolboy at Attica, N. Y. Never had a day passed up to the time of the beginning of his illness when he did not receive baskets of mail from publishers and those seeking legal advice. It is recorded that on several occasions questions of law have been asked him in letters that also inclosed very large checks. Judge Cooley would not answer these questions from strangers and would always return the in closures. On public occasions before his illness Judge Cooley often appeared as an orator, particularly on occasions when members of the legal profession were assembled. Judge Cooley’s connection with the Supreme Court of Michigan lasted until 1885, when by a combination of circumstances he was defeated in his candidacy for re-elec-tion. His wife died ten years ago.

REV. Dll. A. CRIMMELL, A Noted Colored Clergyman, Missionary nml Author. NEW YORK. Sept. 12.—Rev. Dr. Alexander Crummell, who lies dead in this city, was one of the best known negro clergymen in the United States. He was the founder and former rector of St. Luke’s Protestant Episcopal Church, Washington, president of the Colored Ministers’ Union and the founder and president of the American Negro Academy. Having a desire to enter the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal Church, he applied in 1839 to be admitted to General Theological Seminary. This caused bitter opposition in church circles, and the application was refused. In 1818 Dr. Crummell went to England, where he entered i Queen’s College, Cambridge, from which he was graduated in 1853. Owing to his delicate health he entered the missionary service, and for twenty years he was in Liberia, during which time he acted as principal of the Alexandria High School and president of the Liberia College. In 1873 he returned to the United States and founded St. Luke's Church, Washington, of which he continued rector until the end of 1889. Since his retirement he had busied himself in literary work, occasionally accepting invitations to speak at college commencements and contributing to various religious journals. His published works are “A Future of Africa,” "The Greatness of Christ and Other Bermons,” and “Africa and America,” a series of addresses. In 1897 he organized in New' York the American Negro Academy, an organization of authors, artists and scholars. Hon. H. Clay Tompklia. MONTGOMERY, Ala., Sept. 12.—Hon. Henry Clay Tompkins was taken suddenly ill in his office this morning and died in a few minutes. Heart failure, due to acute indigestion, was the cause. He w’as for three terms attorney general of Alabama, and ranked among the ablest lawyers of the South. He has been for a dozen years a prominent figure in the meetings of the American Bar Associaiton. Sir H. Kitchener. Harper’s Weekly. It is a relief to turn from China to Egypt, where one laborious and silent strategist at the mouth of the Atbara—affluent to the Nile—is approichlng the day of his supremo triumph, and organizing national revenge for the memory of Gordon. Sir Herbert Kitchener is not a popular general. He keeps aloof from society and cultivates no acquaintances. He exacts from each one of his subordinates the very highest standard of good work. If that standard Is not attained, the unfortunate officer is quickly sent back to Cairo or to England. When, however, the general’s expectations are fulfilled. staff officers know that they will receive due reward for energetic and tactful labor. Kitchener exacts from r.o, one as much as from himself. Indefatigable by day

and night, with an iron constitution, taciturn, ambitious, and proud, he is truly a nan of blood and iron. Few people know him well. Those who have gained his confidence regard him with unbounded enthusiasm. They believe him to be capable of everything. His ambitions are enormous, and he is now marked out as the English generalissimo of the future. His victory at Khartom will revive the fading reputation of ministers. It stands in need of a tonic. The casualty list is expected to be very heavy in the final battle, and much anxiety is felt as to whether sufficient white troops are provided. Lord Charles Beresferd tells me that in his opinion victory is insured, but that the “butcher’s bill” may be lamentably high. SUNDAY LAWS. Argument In the Decision of the Supreme Court of Missouri. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Some weeks ago Judge McCray decided that baseball playing was allowable on Sunday. This strange decision called out frequent protests from the religious element of the city and retorts from infidels. An infidel friend of mine wrote an article in defense of the judge and against all Sunday laws. I was astonished that these infidel arguments did not produce * reply from our ministers, who are expected to defend the Christian religion. My infidel friend cut out and sent me the slip containing his argument, defying me to answer. The best answer that can be given to all such arguments is the decision of the Supreme Court of Missouri. It appears that in 1554 one Peter Ambs, the keeper of a saloon, was prosecuted and condemned by the lower courts for violating the Sunday laws. The case was carried to the Supreme Court, and this was the decision of the court in the case. The report can be found in 20th Mo., P. 214, and is as follows: “Peter Ambs was indicted for keeping open an ale house on Sunday and for selling intoxicating liquors on the same day. Both offenses were included in one indictment, though in separate counts. He was convicted and fined on each count by one Judgment. From this judgment he appealed to this court. “First—The main question argued in the briefs of the counsel in this case was the constitutionality of the law exacting the observance of Sunday as a day of rest. It was maintained, for the appellant, that the laws enjoining an abstinence from labor on Sunday, under a penalty, and prohibiting the opening of ale and beer houses, and selling intoxicating liquors on that day, were dictated by religious motives, and, consequently, could not be sustained, being inconsistent with the State Constitution, which ordains that all men have a natural and indefeasible right to worship the Almighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences; that no man can be compelled to erect, support or attend any place of worship; that no human authority can control or interfere with the rights of conscience; that no person can ever be hurt, molested or restrained in his religious profession or sentiments, if he did not disturb others in their religious worship; that no preference can ever be given by law to any sect or mode of worship. “The statute compelling the observance of Sunday as a day of rest from worldly labor expressly provides that it shall not extend to any perAm who is a member of a religious society by whom any other than the first day of the week is observed as a Sabbath. so that he observes such Sabbath. “Those who question the constitutionality of our Sunday laws seem to imagine that the Constitution is to be regarded as an instrument framed for a State composed of strangers collected from all quarters of the globe, each with a religion of his own, bound by no previous social ties, nor sympathizing in any common reminscences of the past; that, unlike ordinary laws, it is not to be construed in reference to the State and condition of those for whom It was intended, but that the words in which it was comprehended are alone to be regarded, without respect to the history of the people for whom it was made. “It is apprehended that such is not the mode by which our organic law is to be interpreted. We must regard the people for whom it was ordained. It appears to have been made by Christian men. The Constitution, on its face, show’s that the Christian religion was the religion of its framers. At the conclusion of that instrument it is solemnly affirmed by its authors, under their hands, that it was done in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty—a form adopted by all Christian nations, in solemn lyiblic acts, to manifest the religion to which they adhere. “Long before the convention whirh framed our Constitution was assembled, experience had shown that the mild voice of Christianity w’as unable to secure the due observance of Sunday as a day of rest. The arm of the civil power had interposed. The convention sat under a law exacting a cessation from labor on Sunday. The journal of the convention will show that this law was obeyed by its? members as such, by adjournment from Saturday until Monday. In the tenth section of the fourth article of the Constitution it is provided that, if the Governor does not return a bill within ten days (Sunday excepted), it shall become a law without his signature. Although it may be said that this provision leaves it optional with the Governor whether he will consider the bill on Sunday, yet, regard being had to the circumstances under which it was inserted, can any impartial mind deny but that it contains a recognition of the Lord’s day, as a day exempt by law trorr all worldly pursuits? The framers of the Constitution, then, recognized Sunday as a day to be observed, acting themselves under a law which exacted a compulsive observance of it. If a compulsive observance of the Lord’s day as a day of rest had been deemed inconsistent with the principles contained in the Constitution, can anything be clearer than, as the matter was so plainly and palpably before the convention, a specific condemnation of the Sunday law would have been engrafted upon it? So far from it, Sunday was recognized as a day of rest, when, at the time, a cessation from labor on that day was coerced by a penalty. They, then, who engrafted on our Constitution the principles of religious freedom therein contained did not regard the compulsory observance of Sunday as a day of rest a violation of those principles. They deemed a statute compelling the observance of Sunday necessary to secure a full enjoyment of the rights of conscience. How could those who conscientiously believe that Sunday is hall’otved time, to be devoted to the worship of God, enjoy themselves in its observance amidst all the turmoil and bustle of worldly pursuits, amidst scenes by which the day was desecrated, which they conscientiously believed to be holy? "The Sunday law’ was not intended to compel people to go to church or to perform any religious act as an expression of preference for any particular creed or sect, but was designed to coerce a cessation from labor that those who conscientiously believed that the day was set apart for the worship of God might not be disturbed in the performance of their religiops duties. Every man is free to use the day for the purpose for which it is set apart or not, as he pleases. If he sees proper to devote it to religious purposes the law protects him from the disturbance of others; If he will not employ himself in religious duties he is restrained from interrupting those who do Thus the law, so far from affecting religious freedom, is a means by which the rights of conscience are enjoyed. It cannot be maintained that the law exacting a cessation from labor on Sunday compels an act of religious worship. Because divines may teach their churches that the reverential observair.ee of the Lord's day is an act of religious worship it by no means follows that the prohibition of worldly labor on that day was designed by the General Assembly as an act of religion. Such an idea can only be based on the supposition of an entire ignorance in the Legislature of the nature of worship which God exacts from his creature. A compliance with the law induced by fear of its penalties could never be regarded as an act acceptable to tho Deity. No act of worship, unless dictated by heartfelt love, can be pleasing to the Almighty. God listens alone to the voice of the heart. “Bearing in mind that our Constitution was framed for a people whose religion was Christianity, who had long lived under and experienced the necessity of laws to secure the observance of Sunday as a day of rest, how remarkable would It have been that they should have agreed to make common, by their fundamental laws, a day consecrated from the very birth of their religion and hallowed by association dear to every Christian. Convert Sunday into a worldly day by law. and what becomes of Christianity? How can we reconcile the idea to our understanding that a people professing Christianity would make a fundamental law by w’hich they would convert Sunday into a worldly day? It would have been an act of deadly hostility to the religion they professed, exposing it to the danger of being reduced to the condition in which it was before the Roman world was governed by Christian princes. Though it might not be persecuted by the arm of the civil power, it would be driven by the annoyances and interruptions of the world to corners and by-places, in which to find a retreat for Us undisturbed exercises. “How startling would the announcement be to the people of Missouri that, by their organic law. they had abolished Sunday as a dpy of rest, and had put it out of the po.wer of their legislators ever to restore It as such. With what sorrow would the toilworn laborer receive the intelligence that there was no longer, by law, a day of rest from his labor. The poor beasts of burden would soon find by experience that our laws were no longer tempered by the softening influences of Christianity, and all the

The Constitution itself recognizes that day as a day of rest, and from the circumstances under which it was done, we are warranted in the opinion that a power to compel a cessation of labor on that day was not designed to be withheld from the General As“Second—A law compelling the observance of Sunday as a day of rest nas always been in force under our State-government, A license granted by the State must be construed in reference to this law. A dram shop keeper who should open his shop and entertain his customers on Sunday, as on other days, would violate the Lord’s-day act. He is in no worse condition so far as the authority to sell on Sunday is concerned, because the offense of keeping open a dra.n shop on that day is specially denounced by an act of Legislature. That act was passed, not because to keep open a drinking house on Sunday was no olfense, but that such offense might be visited by a heavier penalty than was inflicted for a violation of tho lord’s-day act. The argument against th.s view of the subject is founded in a mistake as to the Sunday law of 1835. The penalty for violation of that act was five, and not fifty dollars, as stated,” Judge Scott delivered the opinion of the court; the other judges concurring, the judgment will be affirmed. Now, the law of Sabbath rest is not a Jewish law, as many suppose, but it had existed from the time of Adam and was observed by mankind long before the time of Moses. And God, giving the law by Moses, said: “Remember the Sabbath day,” plainly intimating that the law had been in existence before, and the Jews were admonished to not forget it. Now, God knew what the man He had made needed. There fs no continued action of the function of any organ in the body. There is a period of repose or rest between each effort. The voluntary muscles that are under the control of the will show by a sensation of tiredness that there must be a period of repose for recuperation. The involuntary muscles, as the heart, make foe themselves a period of repose after eacn contraction; the heart’s period of repose is short, but so is Its action, and it is sufficient. Therefore, knowing what was best for man, God commanded him to rest one day in seven, or one-seventh of the time, and the natural division of time for us is into days of twen-ty-four hours each: therefore. “God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it,” and appointed it for a day of rest for mental and physical recuperation. Where the Sabbath of rest is not observed man always suffer* the consequences in mental and physical degeneration. This division of time of seven days is a marked feature of the Mosaic law, and the institution of the Sabbath has been clearly recognized down through the history of the Jews even to the present day. We can find, too, evidence of its observation in the dim, dusty record of the past, even with heathen nations; they “remembered the Sabbath day.” We find in the Babylonian tablets, compiled by Sargon, King of Agane, in the sixteenth century (B. C ) this: “The moon rests on the seventh day, the fourteenth day, the twenty-first day and the twerty-fighth day. Again, from the same, we find this: “On the seventh day He (God) appointed a holy day, and to cease from all business He commanded.” Plain intimations of this weekly revolution of time are to be found w’ith toe earliest Greek poets, Hesiod, H°mer and Lines, as well as among the Chaldeans, Egyptians and Romans. Hesiod calls the seventh day "the spßndid light of the sun. and Homer characterizes it as the sacred •dav 99 Prof C. A. L. Totten, than whom none is more able to make the calculations necessary, says: "It is useless to contend against these figures, for they square with all the eclipses, transits and equinoxes of astronr cmv. The fundamental fact which thus results is potent that the human race have never lost the septenary sequence of the week day. and that the Sabbath of these latter times comes down to us from Adam, through the flood, past Joshua s lonj? day by the dial of Ahaz and out of the mduicher of the Savior, without a single lapse.
