GENERAL LEE T0 COMMA Health or the Soldiers the Grave Problem' The Employment of Cubans. Southom‘ Camps Not to be Occupied Until the Fever in the South is Checked by Frost: Washington, Oct. 18.—~It'4‘is said at the war department that nothing has taken place to change“ the plans ah eady f1 amed for the movement of troops to Cuba. It was not intended that the occupa- tion of the island should begin immedi- ately, except at such towns as Manza- nillo and perhaps Holguin, where im- mune regiments could be used to ad- vantage. Colonel Hecker’s investigation into . the situation has been of great valet? to the department, disclosing. as it has the views of a thoroughly .practicai- man based on keen observation. lint Colonel Hecker’s primary object we ; to locate camp sites for the occu- . patlon of the troops, and he isfiproceed- 111:; in exact accordance with his in- s' uctions. 1‘he conditions that he found, it is. 5 -id, thoroughly warrant the belief 1 mt the war department will be oblig- ed to face the most difficult problems that have yet arisen in connection with the handling of troops in order to in- sure the protection of the health of the soldiers. It has become evident that the men must be isolated for some time in their camps to avoid the danger of infection, and the department is not quite, clear that any useful purpose will be served by placing soldiers where their ser- vices cannot be available. While the wet season has now almost reached its end in Cuba, it is said that. the yellow fever is more prevalent and more dangerous in type just‘ now than at any time during the year. These conditions, however, will not continue long, and it is believed that .before November has progressed far it will be possible to have several divis— ions of troops safely camped on Cuban :30“. A} proposition that is now under con- uSideration looks to the employment of "the Cubans as local gendarmes, it be- ing urged that they would be more serviceable in maintaining order in ~the towns than American soldiers un- :acquainted with the Spanish language and Cuban customs. The United States government in this way, also, would be able by the pay- ment of small salaries to these men considerably to relieve the distress that exists on the island without breeding a class of professional paupers or low- er-ing the pride of the Cubans. Unless Geneial Lr-e specifically asks to be relieved from that duty he is to command the first expedition, second- ed by General Greene and General Ar- nold. ‘ It was said at the war department that troops will not be sent to the southern camps until after frost has .. made it certain that yellow fever will not spread. This applies to troops now at Camp Meade, Lexington and Knox- ville. ’ The troops at Camp Meade will be »held in any event until after the peace jubilee at Philadelphia, as they are to take part in that demonstration. ‘ Major Edie of the medical depart- ment, who has been stationed at Lex- ington for some time, was at the de— partment and, says that the health of the troops there has been steadily im- proving. It is said, however, that it will be too cold for the troops to occupy tents during the winter season in the Ken- tucky highlands. 4“ rev 1 in Mississ’ppl. Washington, D. C..

In these tombs one, and sometimes two, interments have been made. The bodies have been laid at full length upon the floor. The cerements had long since molded away, and the skel- etons themselves were in a crumbling condition and give little knowledge of the physical characteristics of the peo- ple, but one fact of surpassing inter- est came to light concerning their pri- vate lives, namely, the custom of adorning their front teeth with gems inlaid in the enamel and by filling. Although not all of the sets found have been treated in this way, there are enough to show that the practice was general, at least among the upper classes, for all the tombs opened, from their associations with prominent thous-es, seemed to have belonged to people of rank and fortune. The stone used in the inlaying was a. bright green jadeite. A circular cavity about one‘sixteenth of an inch in diameter was drilled in the enamel of each of the two front teeth of the upper row and inlaid with a little disk of j‘adcite cut to a. perfect fit and secured by means of a bright red cement. ——New York Journal. AN IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY. The Widow Took the Affair Into Her Own Hands and Carried nor Point. A rich widow in a town not far from Winter Harbor was making ar- rangements for the marriage of her daughter when the Methodist con- ference met in that town and twenty ministers came to attend it. She lu- vited them all to the wedding, and, he: pastor belonging to that denomination she expressed to him a wish that the ceremony be arranged so that they could all participate. The dominic thought the matter over and told her that 'he could devise no scheme by which her wish could be gratified. He did not see how the marriage ser- vice eould the cut up into twenty~one segments, and furthermore—and he expressed it as delicately as possible— he did not think the members of the Conference would consider it dignified to engage in any such performance. As the widow was a. person of great importance, he had [to treat her ging- erly. She is the largest contributm to the support of the church, and the inn- son expected a handsome fee fut. hitching her daughter to the most ell- gi‘ble young man in town. Hence he promised to consult with some of the brethren and see her later, but she did not wait fer him. She took matters 1 into her own hands and formed a plan that at least had the merit of or:— ginality. She went direct to the pre- siding elder, invited him to perform the ceremony and suggested that after he had pronounced the couple man and wife all the members of the Con- ference stand up in a- row before the pulpit and recite the Lord’s Prayer in unison—Chicago Record. _ women in Canada. The women of French Canadian households work themselves out soon- er than the men, who. as a. rule, marry again very quickly. A girl, too, con- siders it a disgrace lf,she hasn’t a bean to see her home from church. A little baht-taut servant of fifteen was found in tears by her mistress one Sunday morning. “What-is the mat- ter with you, Celestine?” asked her mistress. “It's the first Sunday since I was twelve I haven’t had a young man to walk with,” sobbed Celestine. “Think, madam. of the disgrace!" “But how aboj; Jean Seguin’?’.’ “0h, last night Jean came in to say he ‘had met a. girl with a cow and a feather- bed, and he liked her better than me. and wan-ted his presents back. Don’t be sorry for me, madam. I’ll try to get another beau before this afternoon and be married first, just to spite him.
