CHICKAMAUGA PARK
t: chemo to Mik <lt a Military Render
zhus On Foot,
THE PROSPECTS ARE GOOD FOR IT
Great Gathering on of Federal Troops
Next Year to Maneuver Southern and
Western Troops To Be Present.
Robert S. Sharp, chairman of the
committee appointed some time ago
by the three business bodies of this
city to push and promote the plan to
have a permanent garrison establish -1
ished at Chickamauga Park, stated
yesterday that the prospects fora
■speedy realization of this highly im
portant project were never brighter
itbanat present, says the Chattanooga
Times.
In addition to Congressman Moon's
hearty supoort of the project. Mr.
Sharp yesterday received a letter from
General Corbin, who is shortly to be
appointed adjutant general of the
Unite! States army, in which he ex
presses himself as being very heartily
in favor of a garrison at tbe Park. It
is also known that Secretary Alger is
partial to the scheme.
Military Rendezvous.
General Boynton states that while
the people of this city may not be able
to have a regular military post estab
lished here immediately there is no
longer any doubt that from this time
on the Park will be used as a place for
rendezvous and military maneuvers
by the regular army. The bill allow
ing and sanctioning annual maneuvers
by the federal troops has already
passed both houses, and the greatest
military gathering and maneuvers of
1898 will occur at Chickamauga Park.
Gen. Boynton states that Secretary
Alger has already given it out that after
Jan. 1, 1898, he will order that part of
the United States army in the south, as
well as several western regiments, to
mobilize at the Park for the spring and
summer maneuvers. Gen. Boynton states
that when the mobilization takes place,
invitations will be sent to crack state
■regiments and battalions to be present,
and in this way several thousand sol
diers, both state and national, will be
mobilized at the Park, to the great bene
fit of this city.
The fact of these annual mobilizations
•of Chickamauga Park will have the effect
so Gen. Boyton says, of first bringing
about the erection of temporary barracks
and later the necessity of a permanent
post will be impressed upon the secretary
of war.
In this way, he says, Chattanooga
will, in time, secure the establishment
of a permanent garrison of federal troops
at Chickamauga Park, tbe lasting bene
fit of which is too obvious for mention.
Th ere is more Catarrh in th is sectio
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failng to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and there
fore, requires constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials. Address,

JUST AN INCIDENT,
But One That Gladdened the Heart of a
Weary Night Editor.
Thursday night the night editor sat at
his desk, wearied by the long hours of
work, and with many duties yet to be
done before the moraing’s paper should
be ready for the press.
The city cluck had long since boomed
out the hour of IL, and as the newspaper
man sat with tired, strained eyes, and
peneil fast flying, there came the noise
of many feet on the stairway leading to
The Tribune editorial rooms. Not the
heavy tread of men, but dainty tip toe
ing, accompanied by merry but half
smothered laughter that told of the pres
ence of feminine kind.
Half startled, but not altogether dis-

pleased, the night hawk raised his head
and listened. A gentle tapping at the
door brought forth an expectant, “Come
in.”
Then four of the prettiest, daintiest,
most fascinating little maids that ever
brought life and sunshine into “the den"
came through the door, their cheeks rosy
with the keen night air and perfect
health, and eyes all sparkle with pure
joy of living.
With them was a colored woman bear
ing a waiter of daintiest ices and cakes.
The tiniest maid, whose face and hair
seemed to have caught and held all the
sunshine of some twelve years, said:
“We have brought you something to
eat, sir. ’’
The night editor, at all times abashed
where there are grown up ladies, felt
that backwardness in the presence of
this quartette of little maids that makes
miserable the first step of every boy
going to see his sweetheart. He stam
mered and stuttered woefully, and the
visitors looked pityingly at him But
pretty soon they were all good friends,
and began talking of Christmas, and
the visit of Kris Kringle.
Three of the larger ones did not say
much, but there was an expression of
doubt and diustrst in their faces that
told of waning confidence in the reality
of Santa Clause.
But tbe little one who did the talking
for the party had every confidence in
the genniness of Santa and his deeds of
love and goodness.
The night editor, his timidity all
banished by the smiles of the little
maids, wanted to argue the point with
tbe three scoffers, so he said:
“Why, how can you doubt that
Santa is coming? I know it, because
we had a telegram from him tonight
saying that he would be in Rome sure.
If you don’t believe it just watch The
Tribune in the morning and see for
yourselves. That ought to convince
you.”
“I havn’t any doubt whatever that
it will be in the paper,” said the eldest,
and the peculiar manner in which
she emphasized her words, told all
too plainly that her distrust of news
papers was even greater than her
doubts of Santa Claus.
Tortured For Months.
“I was tortured" for nine months with
nettle rash. I found no relief until Ibe -
gan taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla. The first
few bottles relieved me and I continued
its use until I was cured. I am now in
better health than for years and my skin
is soft and smooth.” Mrs. Lucy W.

Dickens and Cruikshank.
The last time 1 saw Dickens was in
1863, at tbe funeral of William Make
peace Thackeray, to which 1 accom
panied my father. Although December,
it was as bright and sunny as a summei
day. Ou getting out at the railway sta
tion we encountered George Cruikshauk,
with whom in early life Thackeray had
studied etching and whose illustrations
were a feature of Dickens’ earlier works.
Cruikshauk was then in his seventieth
year. He walked with us to Kensal
Green cemetery, and the day being
warm I carried his overcoat.
The great temperance artist was aS
quaint and odd in manner and appear
ance as any of his own caricatures.
George, as his intimates called him,
possessed histrionic tastes and used to
appear as Macbeth and in other Shake
spearean characters at Saddler’s Wells.
He was associated with Dickens, too, in
the amateur performances in connection
with the promotion of the Guild of Lit
erature and Art Cruikshauk was also a
volunteer officer, and ou tbe occasion of
some review a comic bard wrote in al
lusion to his temperance proclivities
lines which I still recall:
Fancy Cruikshank, if you please,
On a horse with groggy knees!

GEORGIA DEDICATION.
Arrangements Being Made;For a Great
Thing Next May.
Hon. Gordon Lee, one of the Geor
gia Chickamauga-Chattanooga na
tional military park commissioners,
was in the city yesterday afternoon,
say the Chattanooga Times. He said
that arrangements were now being
made for an encampment of the Geor
gia state troops at Chickamauga dur
ing the dedication of the state monu
ments at the park, which will occur
next May. There are 4,500 men in
the Georgia state troops and it is
thought that a large percentage of
these will turn out on this occasion
and be in camp ten days.
President McKinley has been in
vited to attend, and so has Secretary
of the War Alger, and the Georgia
commission has assurances that they
will be present and participate in the
.dedicatory ceremonies. Gov. Atkin
son, the state bouse officers of Geor
gia and members of the legislature,
etc., will also be present.
Mr. Lee said yesterday afternoon
that he thought that no lees than 25,-
000 would attend the dedication.
Much enthusiasm is being worked up
in Georgia over the event.
There is no need of little • children
being tortued by scald bead, eczema
■and skin eruptions. DeWitt’s Witch
Hazel Salve gives instant relief and
