The nurse, although "still a sick man and. suffering periodically from der lirium, v,;as able to tell something the other day of his experiences after his disappearance. He said that shortly after tlie surrender of Santiago he was. either tunstruck or smitten with fever, he can't tell which. Ho wandered atound for a time, and then thinks he put u'p. his .shelter tent near aranch and lay down. Ho doesn't know just what happened for some time after that, but he tlifnEsho must - have lain there for as many as ten days. Then be realized; that ho must get medical attention and. started to. walk toward Santiago. Ho finally got there, was put in a hospital and after a time ptrtr aboard some trans- port, he doesn't know what one, and finally landed at Camp Wikoff. Since then ho has been in the 'general hospital there, delirious a good part of the time. In one of his lucid moments he told the nurse that he had been sun -struck, but went off his head before: he . (iould tell his name. Thus tit happened that he - was down in tho hospital rec: prds as ''Unknown, sunstroHe. " Wheii his identity was discovered on Wednes day morning, the case was reported to 'General Wheeler, who ordered that if he was in condition for the tiip he should be sent immediately to'" a city hospital, where be could get the very best treatment. Then he telegraphed the war department that Edwards had been found.

Si.npiif f Xyack, N.

People, mostly wom en, came to the convention from all parts of the Union and camped in tents on the picturesque Elope overlooking the Hudson. "Brothers and sisters, " he told hia audience of nearly 1,000, "we have in our institute still a great many empty rooms, and you must put your mission aries in them. I will tell you what we are going to do, but first we must offer up a prayer for blessing. " The prayer was an appeal for the spirit of generos ity and cheerfulness to descend on the alliance. "Now, we have Tibet," said Dr. aimpson. "Who will send amis- REV. VR. A. B. SIMPSON. ' sionary to Tibet?

Tibet fell to the share of a benevo lent looking matron in glasses, who later in the evening purchased a half share in, a preacher for Japan. Japan, the doctor explained, was a small coun try.

The inducement did not sti up the ex pected enthusiasm, so Dr. Simpson in vited four young men to bear the ex- penso among them. Thoyoung men did not come forward, but a girl of 0 got up and said that her salary waa small, but she would try to save $50 during tho year for a Philippine mis sionary.

"In a short time," says the Chicago Tribune, "chapters will exist in every large city from Maine to Cali fornia. Five thousand buttons and cxds were issued the first few days, 10,000 more buttons have been ordered, and the demand at present is greater than the supply. The organizers and promoters of the club are 6ome of the general and traveling passenger agents located at Chicago, the chief among them being Elliott T.

From all quarters of the Union inquiries . are pouring in, some of them by word of mouth and some by letter, for particulars as to the disposal of materials of war captured by our army from the Span of the relio hunters are ih willing to trust to the honesty of the regular curio dealers who profess, to se I souvenirs but there of Santiago and the like, seems to he a general feeling that if the government would set apart such weap ons and accouterments as! it may not need for its own use and sell them with a certificate of their authenticity they would command a geed market. It has even been cstimatod that) a Spanish rifle which had been used in defending the enemy's works against the assaults of our trccps would Ming a gocd enough price to purchase a new i ifio of the best rcako for gome Arntica'n eolr- dier. In other words, it is believed that the government could take the entire stock of captured arms, obsolete ammu nition and equipments ana with a lit tle advertising dispose or them for enough to purchase an equivalent stock of new and modern material which could be put to immediate practical use in our own army. Thdro would bo a precedent for this in the' periodical ad vertisement and sale by the government of condemned weapons anjd ammuni tion. Most of this material is new and has never been - brought into use, but has been superseded by some more satis factory device. In this way it is often possible to pick up an excel ent rifle, in as good condition as when it left the factory, for $3 or $3 which it would be impossible to purchase at first hand for less than ten times as muchL Cutlasses, sabers, horse pistols, cavalry trappings, gto., are often sold thus foriamero song and are bought hy ready made clothing dealers and other retail merchants, who present them to their customers as sou venirs of or premiums on large pur chases. Other lots: are bopght by col lectors who make a specialty of furnish ing museums and also by junk and curio dealers, in whose habds thoy are smeared and battered enough to lend a color of truth to the labels pasted on them, purporting to gije tJ truthful ac count of the bloody engagements in which they have figured. Ajnother trade which was pretty lively at one time, about tho period when more effective projectiles were superseding the old iron balls for cannon and mortars in fortifications, was in such spheres for use on the tops of gateposts. It would have paid the government at one time, looked, at merely from the pecuniary point of view, to have gene into the business pf buying big mortar balls at wholesale and selling them at retail for the ornamentation of entrances to gen tlemen's country seats, General Flagler, chief of ordnance of the army, has been advised by the ord nance officer at Santiago that our gov ernment will come into" possession of about 20,000 small arms of jail kinds as a result of tho Spanish surrender. Or ders were recently issued that these weapons be placed at once on shipboard without the delay of packing them in cases. This was done so that the men who will have to do the wlork may not be detaiped needlessly in he fever in fected district. The arrhs will be brought to New York and placed in cars for shipment to the national armory at Springfield, Mass. The ordn'ance officers will puithem on board the cars without packing' them in cases, merely taking pare that no gun shall - interfere with another. The most recent reports from Santiago show that there are but 8,00.0 Mausers in the stock of rifles surrender ed by the Spanish. These will be clean ed at the Springfield armory and stored there, at least 6qch of them PS pan be fitted for further use. The other guns department may be sold, but the war officers prof ess to be not particularly anxious to advertise that fact, as they say they have had some unpleasant ex- . periences with relic hunters already, though they do not specify unpleasantness consisted. wherein the The property turned over to the Unit ed States at Santiago included, besides the Mausers, almost every other exist ing type of rifle. The latter the govern ment will in all probability make no effort to use again. The cartridge belts also, which became the property of the United States, will be of little service. They are arranged to curry the cartiidges in "clips" of five and are not serviceable with our guns, in the Jirag-Jorgensen rifle the cartridges are placed in the gun one by one, and the gun is so designed that it may be used as a single loader, the magazine being detached or "cut off" for that purposa Our cartridge belts are deemed superior ih style, and even in the event of cur ac opting the Spanish type of belt for uriform pur poses there are American designs, which in construction surpass, 5 in all the. qualities desired in such - an aceoutcr ment.

Miss'Gould has einco been mndo assistant director gen eral of the association, and in the ab- sence of Mrs. Walworth, 'the director general, ha prcsideoT at most of the meetings. One of her first acts after joining tho association was to visit the hospital ships Relief and Olivetto and Jbo offer to the surgeons in charge any thing they might bo in ueeV. of in the equipment pf the vessels. In eome cases her offers have been accepted, and sup plies were put on board each of these vessels. Miss Gould also organized a party to visit the hospitals in New York harbor, and aa a result dietary kitchens were established at several of them. Miss Gould became especially interested in tho work at Moutauk Point and has made several visits to it. After each visit she has personally supervised the purchase of supplies for the camp. That eho promptly realized tho great demand for relief work there was shown by her gift of 25,000 to tho association, which she announced shortly after making her second visit.

As tho result of tho general introduc tion in Santiago by tieueral Wood, mil itary governor, of American methods of Conducting municipal affairs, this an cient an! always unhealthy city pre sents a health record today which ,ia quite extraordinary considering the conditions that existed there about a month ago Under the present system Santiago is divided iq five divisions, under .five physicians, each division having inspectors of eewers, streets, houses and dispensaries, with 100 street cleaners. Five hundred cubio yards of refuse are burned daily, disinfectants are distributed wherever they are need ed, anda heavy fine is imposed for un cleanliness and failure to report un healthful conditions and death. Quiok proofs of the benefit of the sya-i tern are furnished by the decrease in sickness among the poor. The daily fleath rate of 70 a month ago has fallen to 80. Further evidence of the wisdom and thoroughness of the new sanitary arrangements is supplied by the lessen ing of sickness amongthe new troops.

Some Bits of Conversation. Now that the naval reserves have1 re turned homo to New York the boys find that tbero has been a change in their lives. Bcforej they went aboard ship everything appealed to them from the viewpoint of j a landsman. Now they look at things as sailors. Their method of expressing themselves is changed.! In the business to which they have return-, ed they find themselves using nautical terms to explain things to their friends. Their conversation smacks of -the ealt water. It is not navy slang, but navy language. , A young merchant who was on the Yankee was received home a few dbys ago with open arms. The family is;not wealthy. It is just a- good, everyday sort of a New York family, able to live in a whole house and keep one servant girl. When the young man went away,. there was a girl named Katie doings the work. While he was away there was a change of cooks. He came home, looked over the house and visited the kitchen. tie saw the new girl. ; j "Do you run the galley?" he asked "Sir?" inquired the girl "I say, do yon run the galley?' re- peated the young sailor, i ' 1 MNOi sir. We have been cooking byf a gas range all summer," said the girl.-f "Where do I sleep, mother my; old; room?" inquired the same young man! that evening about bedtime. ( ' "No; yours is the second story front room, " was the answer, indicating that the best in the house was none too good for the hero. f ! "I've been sleeping for'ad for four' months, and if it's just the same toyou: I'd like to go aft, to see how it feels. "What do you mean? You can eleepf in any room in the house," said the mother, Elightly hurt that the arrahge-j ment hadn't caught her son's fancyl "Oh, that's all right. I forgot. J.!wa9 thinking that the galley was for'adj and I don't like the smell." A reserve who works in a business house reported for work recently. jThe head of the house shook hands 'pith him, the head bookkeeper' looked hi in over, and he was told to take his'olcjl position looking out for trade that cam from out of town. "Aye, aye, sir," h said, touching his hat; An hour later he entered the office, saluted and said": "Mr. Walker of Podunk has come aboard, sir, with two frienda How's his account, sir?" "- f j Looking for tho ice cooler an 4iour later he . inquired of a salesjnaii, "Where's the Scuttle butt?'" : j ' j! It was from a Broadway cabls car that a naval reserve saw a swagger girl in crossing Twenty-fifth street. "There's a corking good looking girl," he .said, nudging his friend. i "Where?" inquired the friend. "Off the port bow." ' j j "Where?" asked tho friend, looking -in all directions. - ' j .j' - "She crossed our bows, now heading west, don't you see her going intcj that candy store? Look astern. " 1 MSay, point at them hereafter!' said the disgusted friend, who-ad nearly twisted his neck off trying to follqw directions. ; I The naval reserve awheel has a whole new set of rules for the road. He clangs his bell several times and expects the person coming in the opposite direction to go to port or starboard. On the boule vard, a few nights -ago, one of thetn, after signaling, ran into a man. When begot up, he shouted: "You infernal fool ! I signaled you to go to starboard. I signaled you twice and you never re plied." I V . "You were on the left side of the road," said the other. Then tho reserve apologized. ' j f j ' "What time is it, sir?" inquired an old man of a reserve in a car who had looked at his watch. j ! "Five bells, sir, " said the other un consciously, and tho old man craned his neck to got a eight of Trinity church clock. . j '.! .. In a. restaurant the cork of a catchup bottle was stuck, when the young nayal reserve man called up the waiter. ''This your mess?" he inquired as the waiter came to the table.- . ! ' " Yes, sir," said the waiter. j "Well, this breech block here has got jammed. Get another bottlo. " j I In one of tho best up town cafes a half dozen naval reserves sat drinking beer. Somebody spilled a glass. It ran over the table. One of them got up, caught a waiter's eve ahd said. "Cotne aft here and. ewab -the aeefc. " There is no "shiver my timbers" talk among the reserves, but the application of the: tem nautical to everyday occurrences 'prob ably will stick to theci for some time. It will find its way into the best hpmfes, and in the near future among the possi bilities is tho young girl with a naval reserve brother or sweetheart referring to canned goods as airtights, kitchens as galleys and the dining room fixings ae the mess gear.
