6 GOVERNOR TO INSPECT Colonel Stillwell and Staff will Meet Him and Escort Him to Camp in an Auto. CAMP BREAKS SATURDAY From Staff Correspondent. CAMP RONEY," Mt. Gretna, Pa, July 13. It Is now certain that Governor Pennypacker will be here to in spect and review the troops tomorrow.

He is expected to arrive here about 7:15 a. m. and will be met at the sta tion by Colonel Stillwell and staff of the Thirteenth regiment and conveyed to brigade headquarters in an automo bile. Inspection will be held at Ave with dress parade in the afternoon. The governor will leave at night and camp breaks Saturday morning at six o'clock.

Battery leaves Friday morning on a seventy mile overland ride to Phoenixville. The Thirteenth is ex pected to reach Scranton about six o'clock Saturday evening. The boys enjoyed rest today, doing only camp routine. Captain Davis of Company was appointed officer of the day. Lieutenant DeLong of Company officer of the guard; John Niles, Company orderly.

These are the first changes in these officers since the opening of the camp. CAMP Some horrible poet has been, again at work and has left in his trail the following undeniable evidence that he Is a very poor poet: Sloat and Boar Of the hospital corps Opened the door To find some more Hardtack! Company boys seemed rather anxious to get on the hike. Private Markey didn't go because his leg was sore, and the boys envied him. Privates Edwards and Lee couldn't go because they had better prospects in camp. Corporal Daniels, Private Heminger and Private Vaughton of Company were left in charge of the company property while the boys were away on that so called cross country run of twenty five miles.

Private Leach of Company 'was the first prisoner of the regiment. He was put in the guard house Sunday afternoon for disorderly conduct. Company; rode into camp yesterday led by their efficient captain, G. C. Merrlman.

Corporal Stanton is in the hospital suffering from a very slight touch of poison ivy. Not one man of Company dropped out of line during the entire hike. It is said that Private Morltz of Company I is gaining in weight and the boys of his company are thankful that the camp only lasts a week. Some expert mathematician has figured out that Moritz would weigh four hundred pounds if the camp lasted" three months. No' wonder.

Moritz. eats "It" for breakfast every Rumors of denial concerning the A vs. baseball game Sunday are afloat on F. street. Some say that the game was forfeited to A because killed the ball, but others who have more knowledge of the game say that A was given the game because it made more runs.

Private Jake Platte of Company entertained several of his lady friends at Mt. Gretna yesterday. All boys, who were in camp envied him. but Jake didn't seem to mind that. From appearances it is to be judged that Corporal Boyer of Company A has quite a long list of sweethearts.

Yesterday he received seventeen letters. J'rlvate Ilosle of Company was In charpe of prisoner on fatigue duty Jn quarters this afternoon. Private Walters of Company who was detailed as company clerk, had a strenuous time tiying lie down the officers' tents as the storm approachod last night. The guards who were In charge of the camp during the absence of the regiment on the hike were: Captain Gould, officer of the day; Lieut. Daley, officer of the guard; Paul Cruso, Company sergeant of the guard; corporals of the guard, Daniels, Company and Rutherford, Company D.

Guardsmen George Heminger and Vanhouten, Company Kelper and Lamm, Company Flesch and Smith, Company Webb and Doyle, Company Finch and Coursen, Company Ducas and Chamberlain, Company and Magee and Bennlger, Company Hosie Hclndenrich and Colbron, Company Todd. Company Cooper. Company Loaney and Williams, Company L. What time did Privates Huber and Gschwlndt run the guard line? Confidential. For the first time In many moons there was some excitement created on Company street, otherwise so placidly quiet.

Private Edwards said lie was hungry but the cooks doubted him. In endeavoring to get some food he, alone, and unaided, tried to break Into the mess tent. He was captured before accomplishing his self imposed task and was put in quarters. Guard BABY'S TERRIBLE SORE tej Rn Wffli Htioor. Caused Untold AgMj.

Doctor DM No Motbtr DIseoarigH. CUTICURA CURED AT ONCE My child was a ve jr delicate baby. A terrible sore and humor broke out on his body, looking like raw flesh, and canting the child untold agony. My physician prescribed various remedies none of which helped at all. I became discouraged ana took the matter into my own hands, and tried Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment with almost immediate success.

Before the second week had passed the soreness was rone, not leaving a trace (anything. Mrs. JcsnnetteH. Block, Sot BMcdale Rochester, N. Heminger was stationed over htm with Axed bayonet to hold him At bay.

The' officers of the guard are grateful to Captain Gould. Company and the lieutenant of Company for their good treatment In the absence of the regiment. Never before, the guardsmen say. In the' history of the guard, had such good will and such jolly times prevailed in the ranks. The officers and guardsmen appreciate this fact, and they have expressed their wish that they might be on duty always under these Sergeant Paul of the guard and Corporals Daniels of Company and Rutherford of "Company are to be congratulated on the efficiency and strictness of the guard line, they being In charge for four successive days and kept everything in perfect order.

Privates George Opfer, Fred Williams and Bill Space of Company who fell out of march during" the hike, are as bright anfl as lively as though there never was any hike to' bother them. Company street as usual was quiet, but the quiet was so unusually intense that some one remarked about The quiet was caused no doubt by the fatigue of the march and the pleasure of hazing was for a night dispensed with. First Sergeant Bartz, Company entertained some members of his company in Tiis tent last night. Private Cox, Company has spoken. He said he didn't like hiking.

Of course there's no accounting for people's tastes. All the other soldiers enjoyed it perhaps. Assistant Cook Vornlska, Company who is trying to make a record for himself, was asked by the boys to resign. He refused, however, and the boys will continue to devour his mess. Privates Arnold and Mullihan of Company and Sergeant Owens and Private Cramer of Company Joined their respective companies Wednesday evening.

Former First Sergeant Spinner of Company rejoined his company as a private. The privates of the guard had some fun untieing their blankets ana pouches which some one had tied to gether.

Captain Merrlman deserves credit for the effi cient manner in which he handles his men. The hospital corps of the Thirteenth was removed to the brigade hospital in the Eighth regiment camp during the hike. Express and farmer wagons heaped with prostrated men drove up to the brigade hospital every day.

The Scranton boys were able to stand the march much better than any other regiment. Sergeant Schultz had charge of the work of removing the regimental hospital to the brigade. hospital. He was assisted by the members of Bauer's band. Thomas Lawless, the Coyne house barber, and his helper, R.

Wren, accompanied the regiment and are growing popular with the boys. While assigned to guard duty, cor poral Herbst of Company and Private Gallagher of. the same company, deserted their posts and rode to Leb anon where they stayed all night.

The hospital corps of the Thirteenth was the only one in the entire brigade that sent in the regimental hike re port. Brigade Surgeon Kellar compll mented the corps upon doing so. Saul Rublnow.

1905. BRIGHTON TRACK A SEA OF MUD Tradition Won the Rich Oaks For Three Year Old Fillies by Two Lengths. NEW YORK. July 13. Owing to a heavy shower in the morning the Brighton track was a sea of sloppy mud over which four favorittes met signal defeat.

Sydney Paget's Tradition won the rich Oaks for three" year old fillies, nine furlongs, although both Fred Johnson's Schulamite and the Kenilworth stables Coy Maid were heavily backed at 13 to 5 and 7 to 2, respectively, to beat her. Tradition gave fifteen pounds to the fillies and because of her disappointing in the com monwealth handicap at the Bay, the layers In many quoted even money against her. She went to the post at 7 to 10. The start left Tradition last with Schulamite, Hildebrand up, setting a fast pace. Coy Maid was passed by Tradition on the lower turn.

but it was not until three quarters of a mile had been covered that Schulamite was caught. Then It was simply a gal lop for Tradition to the wire, where she won by two lengths in 1:56 2 5, with Schulamite a dozen lenghts before Coy Maid. Ocean Tide, a receding favorite in the handicap at nine furlongs, was anchored in the going and came home last. Voladay made a runaway of it, and was pulled to a walk at the end, where he beat St. Valentine by two lengths in 1:56.

Voladay gave three pounds to' St. Valentine, who ran without blinkers and had eight lengths over Devout, the outsider. First race, five and a half furlongs Optician, 110, Knapp, 5 to 1, won; Remington, 110, O'Neill, 8 to 1, second; Sandringham Belle, 107, Sperling, 8 to 1, third. Time, 1:08 3 5. Second race, steeplechase, about two miles Phantom, 140, Bay, 4 to 5, won; Knight of 140, Owens.

8 to 1, second; Russell Sage, 140, Stone, 5 to 1, third. Time, 4:33. Third race, six furlongs Czaraphine, 107, Martin, 4 to 1, won; Mullah, 110, Lyne, 5 to 1, second; The Mighty, 113, O'Neill, 16 to 5, third. Time, 1:15. Fourth race, mile and eighth Tradition, 124, Davis, 7 to ,10, won; Schulamite, 109, Hildebrand," 13 to 5, fond: Coy Maid, 109, Knapp, 7 to 2, third.

Time, 1:56 2 5. Fifth race, mile and eighth Voladay, 105, Davis, 3 to 1, won; St. Valentine, 114, Knapp, 16 to 5, second; Devout, 115, Martin, 12 to 1, third. Time, 1:56.

He was engaged as a miner and af ter preparing a blast returned to a place of safety to await the explo lon. Having heard no explosion and thinking the fuse had extinguished he proceeded back to the chamber.

As he reached the place a terrible explosion occurred. He was thrown to the ground, while the flying debris horribly cut and bruised his body. He was picked up and carried to the surface, where a physician attended him. LOOKING FOR SISTER. A young Hungarian boy, evidently about thirteen years of age, was found on Main avenue yesterday afternoon by Patrolman McAudrln.

The little fellow arrived from the old country only a few days ago, and was looking for his sister, whom he supposed lived in this section. He was taken to several foreigners In this section, but no trace of his sister could be found. He was taken to the station house, where it was learned that his name was John Nemslck. Later Mr. Stephen Norbut of 1744 Mylert avenue called at the station house and agreed to take the youth and care for him until his sister could be located.

The Sea Fsa and the Sea Pea sai the Pecallar Taalcate Family The Bar nacli at One Time Was Believe to Become Bird The Cuttlefish. The commonest Inhabitant of sea or shore in olden times was invested with fabulous qualities. The homely barnacle, for Instance, because of Its feathery breathing was said to be the parent of a future bird, as a proof of which ancient wiseacres pointed to the rudimentary feathers. Ger rard, a naturalist who flourished at the close of the sixteenth century, actually gives credence to the ridiculous legend in his "Herbal," and furnishes a detailed account of the alleged metamorphosis. Even today, notwithstanding the elaborate and intricate systems of scientific classification, there are still many of the marine fauna with little more individuality than can be expressed in a Latin label.

It is with a few of these odd denizens of the deep that we are immediately concerned. But lew will have happened across the sea fan, one of the zoophytes or animal plants. It is found on the Devon coast occasionally. It consists of a calcareous framework or skeleton from six to twelve inches in height, with many branches, which are covered with a flesh colored membrane. The hitter Is really composed of innumerable polyps which, curious to relate, secrete from the salt water the lime nec essary for the building up or tneir common support.

The sea pen is not dissimilar. It Is only three or four inches long and, like a quill. Is naked at one end and "feathered" at the other, the polyps being on the edge of the feathers. The sea pen is phosphorescent and when irritated, either by being injured or thrown into fresh water, glows brightly A slightly higher but still, lowly form of oceanic life is the tunicata. The species is so called because the body is incased in a stout coating or tunic, consisting of partly cellulose, which, as we know, is also largely present in the vegetable world.

One variety of the tunicate or as cldian Is shaped like a double necked bottle. All have two openings, one for the Influx and one for the outflow of water. The salpa Is a transparent, tubular genus of the tunicate family found In tropical and subtropical seas. It exists in two separate forms, one of which lives alone and produces a num. ber of the others by a sort of budding process.

A number of these latter unit side by side so as to make up a series or cluster. Each of the numerous salpa In the group lays a single egg, which in its turn evolves Jnto one of the sol ltary individuals. Sea grapes might with greater rea son be classed as belonging to the veg etable world beneath the waves, and yet these sea fruit are not so innocuous as they would appear. They are the eggs of the embryo cuttlefish, one of the most repulsive and sinister of submarine monstrosities. The cuttlefish swims by ejecting a Jet of water from a tubular opening near the head.

Having an Internal skeleton, it Is closely allied to the ver tebrates. With its eight arms provided with suckers, its parrotlike beak. Its prominent eyes and Its playful habit of throwing mud in the eyes of Its enemies by secreting an inky fluid, it Is a queer creature. Its relative, the octopus, Is very similar, but is minus the two tenta clcs, or feelers, possessed by the cuttle fish. They are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical seas and often grow to a large size.

Encounters with them form a fruit ful theme for travelers' tales. Perhaps the most imogluntlve Is that fine piece of writing descriptive of a fight with one of these devilfish (as they are sometimes called) In Victor Hugo's "Toilers of the Sea." There are some very peculiar deni zens of the seas which wash the Scotch coasts. One of these enjoys the eu phonious title of the lumpsucker, Thick and clumsy in shape, with a rough and warty skin, its name is a congruous one. Nor Is it made more acceptable by its blue, purple and or ange tints and its oily flesh, albeit the latter appears to be keenly relished by seals. The particular apparatus which gives this ungainly fish its name Is a power ful sucker or disk on the lower part of its body.

The object of this attachment Is not very clear, but by means of the sucker It can In stormy weather or turbulent waters anchor its clumsy bulk safely to the. bottom. When Its young fry are batched in shallow water they immediately attach themselves by means of their suckers to the male fish, which Is said to watch over them. The fifteen pound stickleback, sometimes called the sea adder, Is a salt water variety often found on the coasts of Great Britain and Ireland. It frequents rocky and stony bottoms covered with seaweed and is chiefly remarkable for the fact that it li unique among the finny tribe as a nest builder.

These structures may be found In spring or summer in the rock pools between tides. The structure Is about eight Inches long, pear shaped and formed of seaweed and corallines, To bind the whole thing together the stickleback Is furnished with a secretion capable, when drawn Into a thread, of resisting the water. With this thread, fine as silk and still strong and elastic, It wraps the different portions of the nest round and round. The spawn Is deposited in the nest from time to time In Irregular masses, awT during the period of incubation tlM anxious little parent hovers about. Terbaps better known is the angler or Ashing frog.

It often grows to length of three or four feet, has an enormous flat head and a mouth and teeth to match. It is furnished with three tentacles two from above the mouth and, the third rom the buck of the bend. One of them (the longest) Is movable ia any. direction and has a small, highly colored membrane at the end by way bait. Jtf rcbefJo nibble at this lure, the cunning angler, which has previously partly burled Itself in sand, opens its gaping jaws and the other fish disappears.

Fishermen relate many anecdotes of lie voracity of the angler. On one occasion one of these fish seised a large conger eel which had been hooked, and was in the act of swallowing the huge morsel when the prey escaped from the angler's jaws by forcing its way out by the gill covers behind the mouth. Thus both were drawn togeth er, and the fisherman was enabled to narrate it novej of the old theme, biter bit." Finny; creatures are. to.be found in whose Internal economy electricity plays an important part. The torpedo, or electric ray, is a case in By means of an electric discbarge, the transmission of which is due to the conductivity of salt'water, it can benumb fish in its immediate vleinlty.

Most probably the chief use of this "shocking" faculty Is as a means of defense rem predatory enemies. The electric "organ consists of many hundreds of polygonal columns of cartilage separated by mucilage and extending from back to front round one side of the fish. As to how the electricity is generated or discharged by these living accumulators marine zoologists and electricians are alike silent. Edinbuggh Scotsman. BREAKING TRAIL.

In the Frozen Wilderness It Ia the Meanest of All Tasks. To break trail is to pack with yout snowshoes the soft and uncrusted snow Into a more solid path, so that the dogs and toboggans may be brought forward to where you can make camp. Even the snowshoes. two feet in width, sink a foot or eighteen Inches at every step. The snow crumbles and plies in on top of the web so that you have to tear each step with a wrench and a kick and a cioud of frozen white.

You go forward, you rest, you go forward again, forcing your way laboriously through no one can say how many feet of snow. The weariness enters into the very marrow of your bones. The snowshoe strap moves back and forth just enough across the moose hide moccasins to gall the foot to the flesh of the toes; the muscles across the Instep ache with knifelike cuts with every step as you lift the heavy weight of snow that covers the shoe out of sight. I remember the first day we stopped midway across the lake to rest. The guides dropped the tumpline from the forehead to thetr shoulders, cut some tobacco from a plug, rubbed It between their hands and filled short, black pipes.

The dogs lay flat on the snow and bit and chewed at the solid lumps of ice that had gathered on the paws. With the handle of my ax I scraped from my snowshoe the frozen masses of ice that gathered under my moccasins and were wearing blisters on my feet. We rested here only a few minutes, and then the bitter cold drove us on again, for no man dares to stop long In such a temperature. This breaking trail is very picturesque to an outside observer. Oftentimes afterward when, unincumbered, I had gone on ahead I would stop and turn and watch the guides black pygmies struggling through the boundless stretch of white with their heavily loaded toboggans in great clouds of snow.

With their shoulders thrust forward and their heads bent to the trail' they would swing along at an even stride across the level expanse of frozen snow, broken only by the thin line of trail stretching behind them off Into the distance and by the many still narrower tracks of the fox criss crossing here and there on the smooth' surface. Scribner's. A Maid of Honor. The late Lady Bloomfleld was a maid of honor and published a book of reminiscences relating some very intimate Incidents of ber years at court The result, the London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian tells, was that the queen forbade her ladies to keep diaries while they were in waiting, and from that rule grew one of the neatest repartees that the heart of the professlonaj diarist could desire. A young lady who bad just beeu appointed a maid of honor was receiving congratulations at a party, and ber host said, "What an Interesting journal you can keep!" The girl told blm that Journal keeping was forbidden, and the answer was, "But I think I should keep one all the same." "Then," said the girl, "whatever you were you would not be a maid of honor." Bqnel to the Occasion.

Chauncey Depew once dined with three ladies in a New York restaurant, lie was so entertaining that one of the ladles plucked up courage and during dessert leaned over and tapped the diplomat on the arm and with an affectation of shyness said: "Mr. Depew, let us pretend that ypu are the' shepherd Paris, I am Minerva, Mrs. Blank is Venus and Miss Blank is Juno. Now, you must give this golden apple to the fairest." So saying, she handed him an orange. Depew did not wait an instant, but, turning in his chair, called the waiter.

"Walter," he said, "bring me two more oranges." When Tea Was Medietas. Before tea became cheap enough to be considered a drink It was largely used as a medicine.
