"There is no doubt but that his name will leak out ere long and will be censured by the public as much as he deserves to be. Even granting that the guardsman was a bad tenant and in arrears it is the most outrageous thing imaginable to throw out a destitute family upon the street, while the husband is away on such a duty." BOYS AltE IN GOOD HEALTH. Having given vent to his indignation Colonel Coursen was eloquent in discussing the healthy condition of the boys of the Thirteenth. He 'remarked that when they arrived in camp the weather conditions were most disheartening. The ground was rain soaked and muddy and covered with a good mantle of snow.

Furthermore a bleak cold wind whizzed over the mountain top and chilled the boys of the bone. The thermometer registered 40 degrees and the majority sighed for a hard mattress and a cosy room. "It was worse," remarked the colonel, "than any of my experiences In the civil war." The men. however, were marvelously duick in adapting themselves to the circumstances and ere long made a close ihunt for beards or other materials to floor the tents. They took the bright and practical side of things, and like iMark Tapley, saw some bright things even in the blizzard.

"It was bracing," remarked quite a few. Whether this ivas really meant or not, the result showed iL'hat they were correct, inasmuch as not one of the Thirteenth regimen': has been in the hospital for sickness. The colonel remarked that he made two or three visits daily to the 3io.ipital and after the snow storm expected to find it full. The medical men, however, wereenjoying a vacation ar.d all the boys appeared to be in vigorous health. CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.

The colonel laughingly alluded to the case of his son, who, a short time ago, iwas confined to the house for three weeks owing to an acute attack of in iMrs. F. H. Emery of Dickson avenue Ihas returned from a ten days' visit with her sister at Al'bany, N. Y.

There are several angry bicyclists in Green Ridge and the cause of their anger is the careless manner in which the employes of it he Scranton Electric Iight Companty throw their broken globes arotind.

After the exposure of the first night and being soaked toy the xain, Mr. Courses expected a serious illness, "but," 'his farther added, "he now better than ever and as free from rheumatism as a man can be. A LONG TIME IN STORE. Knowing the extreme curiosity as to the probaMe length of absence of the Thirteenth regiment from this c'Ay, Col.

Ccursen was asked as to the time he ex pected tlhey would return. He replied tlhat it was a very difficult prediction to make, for many rea cons, but he was corrodent that the iguard would move from Mount Gretna wiithin two "weeks, to 'be mobilized at Southern point. After the striking vio tory of Manila he did not believe that it would be necessary to send any teers to Cuba, bait should the Spaniard! be favored by some fortune of war, and the assistance of volunteers was noces sary, it would be autumn before they would be sent to Cuba. The colonel remarked that the events of any day would be likely to 'change these specula tions and he mads them only in the light of the events af the present day. THE RECRUITING PARTIES.

Speaking of tttie reeruvting parties, Colonel Coursen said he was under the impression that some time would elaps before they were sent to Scranton and certainly not until Adjutant General Stewart issued an order to that effect From a conversation with the adjutant general yesterday. Colonel Coursen gathered that it would first be necessary to physically examine these who had volunteered and as a number would be rejected, the final number of recruits could no't be ascertained until such ex aminations were concluded. After that he thought, the recruiting parties would arrive and return with the number each company required to make up the full quota of 1C0. WILL RETURN SOON. When Col.

Coursen arrived heme last night he found Mrs. Ccursn to seri ouslv ill. The physician had been in attendance three times daily and special treatment had been necessary owing to a neuralgic attack of the tieart. Upon Mrs. Coursen's condition will depend the colonel's early return to camp.

The racket started between two boys and wound' up by the father of one and the mother of the other being the beliger ents. The battle resulted in favor of the woman.

A BANTAM WAR. Two residents of Green Ridge met in a grocery store and proceeded to discuss the fighting abilities of their bantams.
