An interesting development ol
civilization in mid-Africa under British
rule iu the holdiug of a fine agricul
tural fair at Inlngo. Yon will not find
that place on auy ordinary map, but it
ia not far from the famous Murchison
Falls on the Shire Hiver, iu that
region Bouth of Lake Nyassa which
was the scene- of Livingstone's early
labors. The show ia reported to bo
particularly strong in exhibits of cattle,
poultry, horse.', wheat aud oats, and
fruit. The country is highly pros
perous, and its salubrity and lituesa
for colonization by Europeans are es
tablished beyond dispute. It ia by
no means improbable that the early
part of tho coming century may see the
basin of Zambesi the seat of a populous
and enlightened empire.
The return of the Chicago and At
lanta to service marks the accomplish
ment of a very interesting step in navy
waking, says the New York Com
wercial Advertiser. These with the
Boston were the first cruisers ia the
new navy. They Lave been so sur
passed by the newer cruisers that in
ten yeara from their completion they
wero obsolete. Now they have been
so remodelled that they are new again;
their armament increased, military
masts added, and new engines put ia
which give them eighteen instead of
fifteen knots speed. This ia the first
example of modern naviea of bringing
an old ship perfectly up to date. If
tho same thing can - be dono w ith
battleships it will improve greatly the
efficiency of the navy. England ha3
some twenty battleships whose low
speed, thin armor and muzzle
loading guns make them almost use
less in combat against the ships whioli
every great nation is now building.
These ships are carried on tho ad
miralty list as effective, but are ad
mittedly relied upon for coast defense
only. It will be interesting if Yankee
inventiveness shall teach European
nations to rebuild obsolete battleships
and make their paper squadron effec
tive. i What is called the A B 0" of the
Swedish educational gymnastics has
been ia use in the Boston primary and
grammar schools since 1891. It ha3
pleased both teachers and pupils, and
this year an advanoe"will be made to
the higher course, such 113 has been
vised in the Bchoola iu Sweden aud
Norway for more than thirty years. Its
introduction ia expected to place Bos
ton schools at the head in the matter
ofjphysical training. One of the
prominent parts of the now order ia
that.it introduces iuto tho schools a
schedule of games with balls, bean
bags, etc., intended to develop a quick
and responsive mind. Ten minutes o
tho forenoon session will be devoted
to instruction in the Swedish move
ment, and during about six. minutes
each afternoon the pupils will have tho
use of tho school-rooms .for marching
and for games. Of course, the yards
will be used for the marching and
games exercises jvhon that i3 morecon
venient. In the past the exercises
have been the same for girls as for
boys; but the new order provides for
a slight difference in this respect. A
further plan under consideration is to
install ia tho grammar schools a set of
Swedish apparatus such as a stall-bar,
a "boon," or horizontal bar, a balance
board, etc. When these ora installed
and ready for uro, the physical train

BHD FOOD AND BHD WATER.

riling hlnry.
General Dodge. Colonel Sexton and
Dr. Conner, of tins war investigating
rommUMon, arrived in Chicago Mon
day and immediately began the exami
nation of witnesses at the Auditorium
hotel. A large number of witnesses
wero on the list.
Dr. Lewis Schooler, of Den Moines,
la., was the first witness to testify.
From June 7th to July 17th Dr.
Schooler w as stationed at Camp Thomas
ai chief Burgeon of the Second divis
ion, Third corps.
Questioned by Dr. Conner, be said
that during the time he was there the
Bunitary condition in tie hospitals
was not very good; that the Rinks in
tho whole division were bad, owing
principally to tl'ie character of the
I
grouud, aud the discipline was rather
lax. !
"At the opcuiug," said Dr. Shooler,
"there were practically no facilities
for the care of the sick; we wero short
of medicines and had no apparatus by
which tho stewards could prepare the
medicines that we had.
"The regimental hospitals, all bul
oue or two, were poorly supplied with
medicines as division hospitals, Re
quisitions were mado for more, but
they were generally disapproved at
the camp headquarters."
Asked to give, in as few words as
possible, his opinion about the gen
eral condition at Camp Thomas dur
ing the time ho was stationed there.
Dr. Schooler said:
Colonel I.ee Censured.
"In the first place, the quartermas
ter and surgeons could not agree as to
the number of tents that wo should
have. Colonel Lee contended that ,
we were limited to a certain number of
tents, seventeen, I think it was, in the
beginning. We afterwards prevailed
upon him to give us twenty-one. Ilia
contention was that he could not issue
tents beyond the prescribed number.
I think the quartermaster's depart
ment was largely responsible for the
great sickness; the medical department
(that is, the supply department) was
also responsible for some things. Then
we lacked facilities, to make reports
on did not even have stationery."
Wilier Not Fit to Drink.
In regard to the water supply at the
camp, Dr. Schooler stated that he did
not think any of tho surgeons in his
division considered the water fit to
drink. And, again, there was not
enough teams at the disposal of the
oflicers to enable them to bring sufii
cient water.
He gave as his opinion that the
medical oflicers were hampered too
much by oflicers of higher rank, but
who had no medical training.
When questioned as to the lack of
nurses, the doctor said that he thought
that both the nurses as well as the
oflicers were overworked.
Food Waa Bail.
Dr. Milo B. Ward, of Kansas City,
who was a brigade surgeon at Camp
Thomas from July 12th to September
10th, when asked as to the condition
of the hospitals, Raid that there was a
great lack of medicines, only some of
the very simplest medicines being on
hand.
"The food which was furnished the
men," said he, "I would not want to
give to my pet dog."
He said that the food would .have
been all right had it been properly
cooked, but in the shape in which it
was brought to the men, it was enough
to make anybody sick. The doctor
was then questioned as to the lack of
attention shown patients just coming
down with .disease.
The doctor stated that, he knew of
several cases where the patients were
allowed to lie out on the ground the
whole day and also during the night
before being taken to the hospital.
FANATIC'S AWFUL CRIME.

much talk among the Cubans, and may
create ill feeling. The Cuban general,

TROUBLE FEARED IN PARIS
Should Cassation Court of Inquiry X'rove
Favorable to Captain Dreyfus.
The London Daily Chronicle pub
lished the following in its issue of
Monday morning:
"We have received information from
a reliable quarter of a well organized
plot in Paris in the event of the in
quiry of the court of cassation proving
favorable to Dreyfus to foment a riot
ous outburst in the French capital, to
attempt to overthrow the civil power
and to assassinate the leading cham
pions of Dreyfus.
"These reports are confirmed by
interviews with M. Trarienx, former
minister of justice, aud M. DePressio
so, former editor of Tho Temps, as
well as others. The police have warn
ed those friends of Dreyfus to change
their residence temporarily or at least
to carry revolvers."

WILL FIR3T COMPRISE A BRIGADE.
Third (Jfforitla and I Ighth CIrjr WIU
IU Taken From the ieulli
Army Corps.
The war department ha issued a
general order for the movement of
troops to Cuba.
"The first troops will leave about
November 22, and will comprise a
brigade under Brigadier General Car
penter. The brigade will bo taken
from the Seventh army corps. The
brigade will be sent to Neuvitas,
Puerto Principe.
Orders were issued Thursday morn
ing making the Third Georgia regi
ment a part of the brigade of Brigadier
General Carpenter. The headquarters
of the brigade will be at Neuvitas,
which is ia the province of Puerto
Principe, on tha north coast.
The quartermaster's department has
been ordered to furnish the Third
Georgia and tho Eighth cavalry with
eixty days' rations at once, and they
will proceed immediately to Savannah,
Ga., embarking on or before Novem
ber 23. It is understood that three
transports have been ordered there to
take tho regiment off.
The Third Georgia and the Eighth
cavalry will bo the first of the troops
to go to Cuba, but they will be rapidly
followed by other commands, for the
president has expressed his intention
of putting fifty thousand soldiers in
the island of Cuba as rapidly as it can
be done. Brigadier General Carpen
ter is now at lluntville and is a man
in w horn the president and the officials
of the war department have great re
liance. I
Neuvitas, being in the north part of
Cuba, is considered a particularly
healthy place. It is not likely that the
troops will arrive at their destination
before the first of December.
It ia the intention of the war de
partment to have General Lee's corps
sail about the last of December, and
the greater portion of it is to go
io Havana province It is expected
that the transports will enter Havana
harbor about the last of the year, that
on the first of January they will be
able to disembark and march into
Havana with a triumphal entry.

THE ILLS OF WOMEX
And
How Mrs. Pinkham Helps
Overcome Thorn.
Mrs. Mary rtoixiNGF.n.,1101 Marianna
St., Chicago, 111., to Mrs. Pinkham:
"I have been troubled for the past
two years with falling of the womb,
leucorrhcea, pains over my body, sick
headaches, backache, nervousness and
weakness. I tried doctors and various
remedies without relief. After taking
I two bottles of your Vegetable Com
pound, the relief I obtained was truly
wonderful. I have now taken several
more bottles of your famous medicine,
and can say that I am entirely cured."
Mrs. Henry Dorr, No. 80(5FindleySt.,
Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mrs. Pinkham:
'For a long time I suffered with
chronic inflammation of the womb,
pain in abdomen and bearing-down
feeling. Was very nervous at times, and
so weak I was hardly able to do any
thing. Was subject to headaches, also
troubled with leucorrhcea. After doc
toring for many months with different,
physicians, and getting no relief, I had
given up all hope of being1 well
again when I read of the great good
Lydia E. Tinkham's Vegetable Com
pound was doing1. I decided immedi
ately to give it a trial. The result was
Imply past belief. After taking four
bottles of Vegetable Compound and
using three packages of Sanative Wash .
I can say I feel like a new woman. I
deem it my duty to announce the fact
to my fellow sufferers that Lydia
E. Finkham's Vegetable remedies have
entirely cured me of all my pains and
suffering. I have her alone to thank,
for my recovery, for which I am grate
ful. May heaven bless her for. tha
good work she ia doing for our sex."
