Hi rids Cneovered us the itnnd Plnys
the Stor Spangled Danner.
Brunswick, Ga., Aug. 2.—The welcome
accorded the North Carolina boys when
ihey reached St. Simon's last night was a
royal one. The pier was thronged with cot -
tagers In gay summer attire.
En route to St. Augustine the trip was
noteworthy from several standpoints and
two incidents coupled with an interview
the Morning News correspondent had with
Col. Burgwin cannot fail to Interest the
public at larg>>, awl people In this section
particularly. As the steamer lines were
cast off the band played a lively tune and
with three cheers for Brunswick the sol
diers returned the farewell shouts from
those on the docks. Passing down the river
a tug had the Norwegian bark Parknook
in tow, bound for the Netherlands. Muster,
ing all hands aft of the cabin her master
ordered the colors dipped and as the Nor
wegian flag gracefully come down the hal
yards cheer after cheer rang from the
American soldier boys. The hoarse bias's
of the Safford’s whistle returned the salute
and Col. Burgwin settled hack to relate
some of the experiences of his command
In late days. At this juncture the band
commenced playing the "Star Spangled
Banner.” Instantly the colonel was on his
feet and with the order "hats off. boys.”
he uncovered and remained standing.
Every man on board did likewise and as
the full moon shed its radiance over all
the scene was inspiring and noteworthy.
Not a sound issued from anyones lifts un
til the music ceas'd and all felt the Im
pressiveness of what had occurred.
Following this, Col. Burgwin requested
some views as to a name for the camp,
and in recalling the heroes of the Confed
eracy the name of Gen. John B. Gordon
was settled upon. So Camp Gordon It
will be officially known, and in deciding
this, Col. Burgwin said: "It is my desire
(o name the camp after a hero of the
Confederacy. To my mind there is no
greater one living than Gen. Gordon. I
regard him as one who has done more
to unite the soldiers of the North and
Soulh than any living agency. Yes, we
will call it Camp Gordon, and I am sure
the public will appreciate the honor con
ferred upon their hero as much as we will.
You can rest assured that under that
name the camp will be a model, and every
man In It will uphold the dignity of their
namesake."
Possibly no feature of the camp is caus
ing as much discussion as to the personnel
of the men and the conduct which will
characterize Its future, of its present, a
well-known matron, noted for her refine
ment, said; “The Texas company has
proved to be composed of men who are as
polite and ns nice ns can bo. We like
them so much. Their officers are Just
as courteous as any one could wish for,
and the men never fines a lady withoiit
raising their hats, although they seldom
lift their eyes to stare.”
Of the future Col. Burgwin determinedly
says: "There will lie no canteen connect
ed with this camp. There will be no
drunkenness allowed. I understand you
have blind tigers on St. Simons. If this is
true none shall sell my men liquor and
escafie arrest. Every blind tiger establish
ment which affects camp discipline will
be destroyed. I will turn the proprietors
over to the authorlties.The North Carolina
troops made a record for sobriety and
gentlemanly conduct while at Raleigh and
the standard then held will be maintained
here.”
This will be douldy welcome news to
Brunswlckians and is the first official an
nouncement given the public by Col.
Burgwln’s Intentions regarding camp
rules.
The North Carolina companies are dis
tributed as follows:
Colonels headquarters at Camp Gordon,
St. Simons Island.
Four companies and regimental band at
St. Simons Island.
Two companies at Tybee Island.
Two companies at Fort McPherson.
Two companies nt Man's End.
Two companies at St. Augustine.
Lieut. Col. Cowles is suffering from a
broken leg, occasioned by a fall from a
horse and not by contact with a street
car as erroneously reported.
Company K hns three little kittens and
one small dog for mascots. They are
tenderly cared for. The dog is named
Sampson, and the kittens Dewey, Bettie
and Hobson.
Col. Burgwin has been made familiar
with the fact that cottagers live at St.
Simons beach and he has promised to see
that all men are provided with bathing
suits before they go in the surf.
The St. Simons signal station, manned
by Brunswick naval reserves, was discon
tinued last night. It is not probable that
the men and officers will remain in the
service.
The first night spent by the North Car
olina boys at St. Simons was on the
ground. It was necessary to thus bivouac
because the hour when all the supplies
and tents were unloaded was late. The
colonel and his staff slept with the men
and 400 were stretched on the turf at mid
night when the Morning News correspon
dent left them.
RUNAWAY MARRIAGE.
Two Voung People of Camilla Go to
Albany to Weil,
Albany, Ga., Aug. 2.—The parlors of the
Hotel Mayo were the scene of a runaway
marriage yesterday morning, the contract
ing parties helng Mr. H. B. Rivers and
Miss Emmie Wilson, both of Camilla. Rev.
W. F. Smith, pastor of the Methodist
Church, officiated.
Both are prominent and well connected
young people. Mr. Rivers Is a stirring
young business man. and his bride Is a
very pretty and vivacious young lady,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Wilson.
Parental objections caused them to marry
away from home.
An attempt was first made to procure a
license at Camilla, where it was refused
on account of the young lady's age. After
driving through the country to Newton,
they met another refusal, and then came
on to Albany, where they met with success,
as above slated. They have returned to
Camilla.

JOXES OX OUR FOREIGN POLICY.
Chairman of Democratic. National
Committee Give* Hi* View*.
St. luis. Aug. 2.—Senator James K.
Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the na
tional Democratic committee, who is in
the city conferring with prominent mem
bers of his party, had this to say concern
ing our foreign policy liefore he left for
New York'
“The United States is pledged to the
world that an independent and stable
government shall be established in Cuba.
When I voted for that resolution nothing
was said about imperialism. This coun
try cannot afford to go back on Its pledge.
These are my private views, which I be
lieve ire those of the Democratic party.
"I do not know what conditions may
arise respecting Cuba, but I have never
known a Spanlsh-Araerican community
capable of self-government, and it Is pos
sible that since we set out to free Cuba
from Spanish domination we may be com
pelled to pursue a course which would
eventuate in the control of the island.
While I am not in favor of the acquisition
of territory in the tropics, this course
would be less objectionable than any
other.
"Cuba is adjacent to the United States,
as is Porto Rico, but the thought of an
nexing the Philippines is preposterous and
undemocratic and not In accordance with
the principles handed down from the days
of Thomas Jefferson.
“We began this war to secure the inde
pendence of Cuba, and nothing more.
When we have accomplished that end and
Spain has Indemnified us for the enormous
war expenses, our mission will be done.”

those on board report that when rixty
miles off Sable Island and within about
one mile of the spot where La Bourgogne
went down on July 4, the bodies of twenty
six men and two women were seen float
ing in the water.
It was a significant fact that almost all
of the men whose bodies were floating
with life belts were sailors. Passengers
seemed to have no life bolts and there
fore sunk.
The steamship Hiawatha, which went
out from Halifax to Identify the dead of
La Bourgogne, was sighted by the West

Joke Played Upon a Newcomer by
New York Brokers.
From the New York Tribune.
There was nothing unusual in the gath
ering of the "outside” brokers In front of
the Mills building recently. For
a while the weather was the sole topic of
conversation. Orders were few and far
between and trading was almost at a
standstill when It was suddenly discover
ed a newcomer was among them. This
proved to be Harry Hardy, Jr. who joined
the "outsiders” as the representative of
the banking house of Price, McCormick &
Cos.
As it was young Hardy’s first day, he
was more than particularly anxious to dis
tinguish himself, and not a movement in
the crowd escaped his alert eye. Sudden
ly an order to buy 25,000 shares of "West
ern Union Rights” was placed In his
hands. It must be explained that “West
tin Union Rights” is one of the crowd's
l>et Jokes, meaning the right to lick a
postage stamp against a West Union tel
egraph pole. The crowd has a monopoly
on the trade in this stock. All of these
facts were unknown to the ambitious
young curbstone broker, and he immedi
ately set out to fill his order. One of
the old-timers offered a large block of
"Western Union Rights,” and the new rep
resentative of Price, McCormick & Cos.
fairly fell over himself in his eagerness to
buy. Hardly had the first transaction
been penciled down when another offer to
sell was heard. With great beads of per
spiration on his face Hardy rushed to the
spot und was again successful in secur
ing the purchase. Other offers were made,
and the business in “Western Union
Rights" assumed such proportions that it
got beyond the young broker's ability to
handle. Despair was depicted on every
feature, when suddenly noticing that al
most all in the crowd were used up with
attempts to conceal their amusement, he
awoke to the fact that a joke had been
played upon him. After having the pecu
liar points of the stock he had been buy
ing explained to him there was nothing
left for him to do but to Invite the entire
outfit to a nearby cafe, where all were re
ficshed with mineral water ut his expense.
While the Joke was In process word
reached several banking houses that a big
order for something, nobody knew what,
was being filled in front of the Mills build
ing, and for a while there was anxiety to
know what was going on. Telephone wires
were kept hot for a short space of time
and Price, McCormick & Cos. found it nec
essary to assign a special man to answer
all the questions lhat poured in upon them,
HOULEVISM IX LONDON.
How the Promoter Ueil Nobility a*
Sucker llifit,
London Cable In New York Tribune.
Hooley's disclosures have justified Lord
Charles Beresford's warning against the
power of money in English society. A
more scandalous story was never heard In
the Bankruptcy Court. His plan of opera
tions in purchasing and selling companies
involved traffic in gilded titled names.
Sometimes he purchased peers outright,
but often ho paid bribes to decoys from
smart sets who introduced noble lords or
procured the use of their names. When the
front sheet of a prospectus was Illumined
with the names of eminent directors, he
left his solicitors free to explain the details
of the business which was recapitalized,
and qulet.sl and "squared" city editors
with troublesome pens. The difference be
tween the present market value of Dunlops
und the amount for which the company
was recapitalized is little less than $12,000,.
MO. This shrinkage In value measures the
losses of credulous investors, whose eyes
were dazzled by the use of brilliant social
names. The names on the front sheet of
that pro-pectusure said by Hooley to have
ccet between i90,1W and nuO.OOO, and the
secret pi-css fund was £76,C00.
I*>rd De La Warr. the Duke of Somerset
and other peers whose names have played
a Prominent part in Hoo’ey's enterprises
have v not yet been heard in their awn de
fence; but the bankrupt's own story im
plies a conspiracy to defraud foolish in
vestors. Bom*- of these title'! stool-pigeons
will find u difficult to met t the charge that
a most scandalous use has been made of
tlieir names and social position.
**fter these shocking disclosures of cor
ruption and immorality in current meth
ods of atock promotion. Parliament will
be compelled to take up the question of
reforming the companies law. Stock pro
motion is a necessary and legitimate ex
pedient for bringing new enterprises Into
the market, but stringent safeguards need
to be established against the purchase of
eminent names.
Hooleyism ha* however, more morals
for smart society than for the commer
cial community. Social London, has, in
deed, been thrown into a flurry of excite
ment by Hooley’s sudden indictment of
many of the smartest people in the West
End. Little else is talked about, except
the series of disclaimers which has ap
peared from, the Duke of Somerset, Lord
V\ arwick, Lord Winchelsea, Lord Albe
marle and other titled peronages impli
cated. The denial which excites more rid
icule than any other is Lord Albemarle’s,
since It Involves the confession that a
large check was received and explains it
as the result of a. deal in another under
taking.
BREAD FOR 50,000 MEN.
The Army Bakery in Operation at
Camp Thomn*, Chickninauga.
Chlckamauga Letter in Philadelphia Times
A glance bestowed upon the outside of
the rather unpretentious frame building
adjoining the railroad skiing where a car
load of flour of the Mountain City Milling
Company, of Chattanooga, is discharged
daily to be made into bread for the army
of over 50,000 men congregated here causes
a look of incredulity to flit over the face
of the visitor at the thought of some 50,000
loaves of bread being baked each twenty
four hours and delivered to the hungry
troops. Yet such is the fact, and tills one
story structure, which is worked both
night and day, not only is making and
baking 50,000 loaves of bread a day, tut
under forced pressure can turn out 05,000
and even 70,000 loaves a day.
As the visitor enters the building proper*
from the open sheds in front where thou
sands of fresh light, hot and smoking
loaves of bread are cooling upon long low
tables about six inches from the board floor
a novel sight presents itself to hts view
and he is kept busy dodging the continu
ous stream of black and white bread boys
rushing and tumbling out of the building
from the ovens holding fast to large pans,
each one containing twelve loaves of
beautifully tmked apiietizing bread.
Once inside the first thing he observes
are two large dough mixers at one end of
the building, one having a capacity of flve
barrels of flour and the other six at each
mixing. At the smaller one of the two
a man is just emptying a bucketful of
yeast weighing eight pounds into the enor
mous Jaws of the mixer, while behind him
ie a long line of men each bearing a snowy
white forty-eight-pound sack of flour al
ready opened and prepared to follow the
yeast as soon as it has hern thoroughly dis
solved in the twenty-four buckets of
water, which helps with the aid of the
giant steel kneaders to make the flve bar
rels of flour dough.
From the larger mixer another force of
men are removing the dough and half fill
ing long, deep and narrow movable
troughs 3x3x12 feet slightly wider at the
top than the bottom and thoroughly greas
ed.
Just beyond this three kneaders are
working away, elbow deep, on several
other troughs which have been standing a
while and are in danger of overflowing
from the seductive working of the "Self-
Raising Yeast.”
Immediately behind the men thus en
gaged and covering the entire center of the
building are the immense ovens, where all
this bread is cooked, and as the firemen
go along the line of furnaces, opening and
shutting doors, raking the fires, and let
ting out a flood of light and heat, every
body’s, attention, even to that of the hands,
Is arrested for the moment. Right after
wards, with a warning shout to the people
beiow, the bakers from the other end of
the building commence shooting down a
slightly inclined plane with lightning-like
rapidity Immense consignments of freshly
baked bread, which are quickly and
deftly caught on the fly, as it were, by the
boys and carried out to cool in the sheds
with the remaining twenty odd thousand
loaves already there.
Finally, in all corners of the building
wherever space will permit bakers and
helpers are busy weighing out, kneading
and placing In pans well greased the auto
matically mixed dough, which Is to go in
to the ovens and make the bread for which
the commissary department has made a
reputation for excellence.
This vast establishment, covering as St
dose nearly one-half an acre of ground, is
divided into four sections in order to be
more expeditiously operated. One hundred
and twenty or more men are employed,
divided into two shifts of twelve hours
each, and of this number of men 72 are
bakers, 24 helpers, 8 watchmen, 12 bread
boys to carry bread and push around the
dough troughs, 3 firemen and engineers
and 2 or 3 clerks, each individual an ex
pert In his special line of work, and each
one capable of doing the largest possible
amount of work allotted to hint.
In order to enable the bakers to do their
work promptly and efficiently the night
and day shifts of thirty-six men are divi
ded into four sections of nine men each,
who prepare the loaves for the ovens and
carefully watch them until properly and
satisfactorily baked. And not on© of the
least Interesting sights Is where one of the
linkers with a light on the end of a pole
fifteen feet long sticks it into the oven to
see and examine, each pan of bread and
find out whether or rfot it is sufficiently
baked.
Viewed In the evening the delicious odor
of the freshly baked bread tickling the
nostrils and arousing the appetite, the net
altogether unmusical chanting and croon
ing of the negroes as they rush about
their work, the rapid cutting and shaping
of the loaves of bread for the ovens from
the huge masses of dough by the bakers
and the glow of the furnace tires through
which move the workmen, silent as spect
res, form a scene not to be easily forgot
ten.
Within a stone’s throw of the bakery Is
the cold storage meat warehouse of Nel
son, Morris ft Cos., of Chicago, who have
the contract ..of supplying meat to the
camp, and with the Issuance of 50,001
pounds of fresh meat per day, to the vari
ous commands in camp, which empties
three refigerator cars per day, nobody can
complain of a shortage in the meat ac
count. This building is worth a visit, al
though not to such a great extent as the
bakery, as a great deal of meat Is taken
directly from the ears and loaded on the
various regimental commissary wagon?
and driven straight to the regiment, hut
the cold storage warehouse is used for the
storage of butler, eggs and meats sold to
the soldiers, and it make® up in Interest
that which it lacks In size.
—Emile Zola has been drawn out by a
young German woman, who has been writ

works they think suitable for girls to

should read only what their parents allow
them to; an author has no authority to
point out which of his books should be
forbidden and which permitted.”

SAILORS WHO RE-EXI.IST.
Odd Idea* of the Jackies About Time
and Life on Ship.
From the Washington Star.
On the day after his enlistment for a
period of three years the American man
o'-war's man begins to figure on the
amount of time that is to intervene be
fore his discharge. He has two years and
a “butt” to do, the "butt” being the re
maining eleven moths and twenty-nine
days of the first year. On the day follow
ing his completion of the first year of his
enlistment he has only a year and a butt
to get through. No matter if the butt is
only a single day under a year in length,
the bluejacket contemplates the term with
the blandest complaisance; it is not, at
any rate, a whoOe year, even though it be
364 days, and this fashion of trottling
each year of his service makes him happy;
it seems to bring his discharge, and the
more or less tempestuous joys he carefully
maps out long before his discharge, with
in closer range. When he has put in eigh
teen months of an enlistment, he breaks
out the homeward hound pennant; he is
going dawn the hill, and when he has
finally achieved two years and has only
the butt to accomplish joy fills his cup.
“Once a sailor, always a sailor,” is not
strictly true of men-o'-war's men of the
American navy. Only about one-half of
the men who complete one enlistment ship
for another three years cruise. But about
nine-tenths of the men who put in two
cruises settle down to a life long continu
ance in the service. Six years of navy life
seem to thoroughly inoculate them with
what the Germans call wanderlust. When
a bluejacket passes a few of his summers
in the' latitude of the North Cape and a
couple of his winters down among the
Bermudas or in ihe salubrious South Pa
cific, he is likely to acquire a dislike for
the climate of the United States, and this
dislike has more weight than anything
else in forming his decision to remain in
the navy. Moreover, after a few years in
the navy the bluejacket seems to become
possessed of the odd idea that he is really
doing nothing aboard ship to earn his pay,
that the perpetual scurry in which he is
kept from all hands in the morning until
pipe down at night is really not work, and
with this quaint notion he also acquires
an exceedingly exaggerated idea of the
terrific amount of grinding labor a man
hae to perform in order to gain a liveli
hood ashore. Put to a bluejacket who has
put in a couple of naval cruises the direct
question, “Are you going to ‘ship over’
when your time is out?" and in nine cases
out of ton he will look you in the eye with
an expression of stupefaction tyid in
quire;
“What do you think I’m going to do
work?”
Overtime men being shipped back to this
country on a man-of-war are not com
pelled to do any of the ship's work; they
simply eland the military calls, eat iheir
meals and smoke their pipes, watching the
while with lazy happiness ihe dally jound
of labor of the less fortunate bluejackets
attached as members of the crew of the
ship on which they themselves are practi
cally passengers. The overtime men occa
sionally emit arrogantly humorous direc
tions to these temporary shipmates, the
ship's company ®f the boat that is haul
ing them home. “G’wan, now. an' shine
up that bright work, ye long time swab!”
they will shout to a deck hand when the
officer of the deck is aft and out of hear
ing. and "Oil down to your bunker, ye
grimy flalfoot, and rake out your coal!”
is the kind of thing the man of the black
gang below hears from the "passengers”
whenever he tries to smoke a peaceful pipe
on the to'gallant fo’c’stle.
One of the immemorial customs of the
navy jack to secrete in the ditty bag
of the discharged shipmate who is about
to go ashore a can of corned beef, a few
potatoes, and, perhaps, one or two other
articles of sea food. This is done in order
to remind the discharged man, when he
opens his bag ashore, that in the opinion
of his shipmates he will be unable to earn
enough to eat on land, if he takes it into
his head not to ship over, and that they
have, therefore, takeh a small measure
to shield him from starvation with a little
navy grub when he has "spent his pay
day.” Discharged men try ail sorts of
schemes to keep this stuff from being
placed in their bags, but, nevertheless,
they nearly always find It there when ’.hey
get ashore.
EFFECT OF MUSIC OX ANIMALS.
Experiments Tried nt the London
Zoological Garden*.
From nn Exchange.
Experiments have recently been made in
the zoological gardens in London as to
the effect of music on animals. The sound
of the violin was first tried on the taran
tula spider, but without result. A nest of
scorpions, however, showed the liveliest
susceptibilities. Of the monitor lizard wa
are told: The very moment he heard the
first sound of the violin he raised his head
and was alert and listening. Then the
forked tongue came out, playing inces
santly round his lips and as the mu9ia
became soft and low the lizard grew quits
still, but for a gentle swaying of the head.
In the next cage all heads were raised,
and forked tongues played, while at a
sudden discord every snake's head started
violently back. Such, more or less, was
the effect of music on ail the snakes. The
huge pythons showed not a grain of in
terest, and the boa was almost as indif
ferent, but the deadly cobra, which the In
dian snakemaster wins from his hiding
place in the old wall at the sound of a
tiny pipe, was roused at once. He was
lying sound asleep on the gravel at ihe
bottom of his cage; but at the first note
he instantly raised his head, and, with
eyes fixed on the door whence the sound
came, as the music grew louder, slowly
stood erect on his tail, spread his hood,
and swayed to and fro, In accordance with
the measure of the tune. Every change
in volume and tone instantly produced a
corresponding change in the movement*
or poise of the snake. At the tremolo it*
body was puffed out; at a sudden change,
imitating the sound of the bagpipes, its
hood was expanded to the utmost dimen
sions, while a sudden sharp discord made
the creature wince as if under a smart
blow.
The polar bear stood upon his hind
legs to listen more intently, walking back
wards and forwards, and humming a half
formed grunt of satisfaction. The two
grizzlies, at the first chord, assumed a
critical yet comic attitude of keen atten
tion, each with its head on one side, and
its paws clasping the bars. In the lion
house every head was turned at the first
sound of the violin, and as it grew louder
his majesty began to wave his black tuft
on his tail from side to side, as a cat
does when meditating a spring; while the
lioness made her way straight up to the
bars, as if to push him from the front
seat. The old fable of the snap of a
broken string causing terror to the wolf
was next put to the proof, and seems to
be founded on fact. Instantly, at the sud
den crash, the common wolf set up its
back, and with tail between its legs drew
back with a hideous sneer, and slunk into
a corner.
The flute was chosen to open the con
cert; the huge beast stood listening with
deep attention, one foot raised from the
ground, and its whole body still; a strong
sign of the effect of music on the most
restless of animals. As long as the flute
continued the stillness was unbroken; but
at the first sound of the piccolo all wa*
changed. Its sharp, shrill note was ev
erywhere resented. The elephant twisted
round and turned his back on the per
former, whistling, snorting and stamping
his feet. Even the ostrich was offended
at the piccolo, writhing its neck, stalk
ing uneasily up aiul down, a* if in dud
geon. The tiger, who clearly found pleas
ure in the violin, started up in fury at
the first shrill cry of the tiny pipe, rush
ing up and down the cage, and lashing
Its tall from side to side. A soft air from
the flute brought back Immediate peace,
and we may fairly infer thut the violin
and flute, which "human taste has ap
proved as the most pleasing of instru
ments, are, by some unknown law, most
acceptable to the brute creation.’’ No
creature seemed wholly Indifferent to the
charm of music except the seals; while to
all a discord was offensive.
