Written for the Palladium. AN INCIDENT OF THE
PRESENT WAR
On the borders of the camp at New Orleans, where a regiment of the
United States regulars were stationed
on a darK mgtit in May, a sentry was
pacing to and fro on his moaontonous
beat as he kept his lonely vigil; his
mind was goini. over the events of the past few days and reaching forward to
grasp the future. His heart was fa!
ot fadne? not nnmingled with bitter
ness. They had only recently arrived
from a far western post, and all along
the harried journey, at nearly every stopping place, they had been greeted by friends and relatives of the soldiers with hearty hand clasps, hurried goodbyes, and many tokens of loving re
gard tie alone seemed to have no one to greet him. Since their
arrival in eamp, many had been
the cheerful letters received
from home, but no letters came for Philip, as we will call him. As far as he knew he had no relatives in the world. He had a memory, only a dim memory, of a mother and a baby brother. His father had died when be was very small, and his mother had
been unable to support herself and
children, and Philip bad been placed in one of our institutions till she could
accumulate enongh to take hit away
Bat that time never came, and he was given a home with a farmer, but the farmer and his wife had both died and
Philip had drifted about the worli
alone. His memory of his childhood
was fo dim and vague he often won
dered if it was memory or imagi
nation, and the soldier bo; was sad and hungry for human sympathy as he brooded over the past.
As be lett tae camp tbat evening, a
whisper bad passed around that on the morrow they were to bretk camp and be ordered forward, it was supposed to go to Cuba, and his comrades were writing last letters home and giving
each other tender confidences, for well
they knew not all would return. Philip had no letter to write, and his heart
grew heavy as he thought if he should fall on Cuban noil, or his body lie at the bottom of the sea, there was none ORbed a tear, none to pray for his safe
return. Do you blame the lonely sen
try if the tears dropped upon his pathf
v hen the weary night was over and
he returned to camp he was gieeted
with "A letter for you, Philip." "For
oifcf There must be some mistake,"
atid he turned away; but it was put into his baud, and as he saw his name
ou the back he hastily tore it open There fell out a lock of golden hair.
tad those who stood by saw, as he
read, his strong frame shook with the
emotion he could not conceal, and they thoughtfully withdrew. The dark
cloud that had hung over him all night bad broken and the silver lining was
shining brightly. His dear old grandmother, who had been trying to find him, bad, with tha aid of the institu
ion which had cared for him in his in
fancy, finally located him, and she had
written of his mother's death and how
he had promised her when dying to
try aud locate the boy. All the relatives and they were not a few had sent tender messages, and a dear
THE LIGHTS

Night Because lha Commlttaa Was Out Locking far G'immartChangsto Ba Ordtrsd.
Last night the council committee on
lights was oat from S to 10 o clock
looking for bad lights, and also viewing the location of electric, gas and naphtha lamps with a thought to the
changing of such lights as might be
found to be more useful elsewhere
The committee found no bad electric lights, as all the lamps teemed on thei good behavior. There was not a jrlimmering light seen in all the rounds of
the committee, and it was remarked that the lights seemed to realize that they were under inspection, aad were
burning up to their full candle power
The committee also saw several
places where lights couli be changed to great advantages, there ate lights in the south end that do not show within the radius of their 2,000 candle power beams more than one residence, and there are others there and in other parts of the city whose principal use
seems to be lo show the cattle how to
eat grass day and night in the pas
tures so beautifully lighted by the arc
lamp's rays. Several changes will be
recommended at the next council meet
ing, tne cnanges to te considered at a meeting of the committee that will be held before tbat
time. A great economy of the
city s lighting expense can be exer
cised by dispensing with certain lights
aud substituting others of a different
variety, that would be as effective in
that paiticular locality.
The naptha lamps are much improved
since the globes have been cleaned, an
experience that must have shocked the
globes considerably on account of its
being so unusual under the eld contract. The committee will see that
they are kept clean, or that they are not paid for.

Running Riot-Plans for Contract Work.
Now that there is a new council the people seem to be taking a new interest in municipal government, and many pew and novel plans for improvement
and innovations are broached. The
latest thing talked of in regard to ma
nieipal economy is the letting out of
the btreet commissioner's and fire er
giteer's wok by contract, as those
two offices are positions whoss holders
have to give bond. The plan will not be adopted, it is safe to say, yet that
it is talked in seriousness is significant
that the people are really and earnestly

States there is as great a rivalry on the part of the 800 different railroad lines to serve the government as there is
among national guardsmen to get to the front. The cost of transportation is much less now than ever. " The Germans, Italians aud Austrians, forming a triple alliance, have taken care to have the same railroad gauge, ' so that a train from one country may run over all the roads of the others.
The Russians, on the contrary, for defensive purposes, have taken pains to have their railroad gauge wider than the roads of the triple alliance, so that if Rnst-ia should be driven back from the frontier no quick advance on rail could ki made by the invaders. The railroad gauge in the United States is at the standard of 4 feet 8 V, inches all over the country, except rh small narrow gauge mountain roads, which do uot figure iu the question of defense.

Its Collection Under the New
Old System Much More Satisfactory Than Under the System in Force Last Year. The contract for the collection of the
city's garbage expired on May 14, and
at that time the city health om?er took charge of the work again, by resolution of couneil. The change and im
provement since that time has been simply wonderful, aad remarks to that effect come from every quarter. Many
persons who did not know any change had taken place were asking what had
caused the improvement iu the collec
tion of the garbage, and wheu informed of the cause, they have invariably
said they wishtd it oa'd continue at
any reasonable cost, as the main thing in garbage collection is the collection
of the garbage. The priacipal trouble
with the Bullcrdick contract was
that it was taken at too low a
figure. This necessitated that the contractor employ help at the lowest
possible price per wttk. and the result
of tbat condition was that men wort el
for him only temporarily, nntuV they
could get something to do that won id
pay them. This in turn resulted in
:he frequent changing of the drivers
on the wagons and a continual un-
familiarity with the routes over which rhe wagons ran, and also a lack of a feeling of responsibility on the part of ;he men who did the collecting. Mr. Ballerdick simply made the mistake
that many other bidders make, of
bidding too low and having his bid accepted.
