T!,l- trouble abouL the sewers is all that
has stood in the way of patients being ad

at"once be received when it is removed.
Mai. Appel, who has been in the service
for iweniv-ihroe years and who holds his
rank In the regular army, will be com
manding officer at the hospital. The ofli
,.f.rs' quarters and the administration
building lias been completed and are ready
for omijiar.cy. The major has three of
die stewards here who are to be his chief
assistants. These are Steward Harvers,
w ho will be chief clerk and who has been
in the service for 28 years; Steward Young,
Who will be in charge of the general sup
,[-vision of the kitchens and messes; and
Steward Hunt, who wiil have charge of
hospital properly.
Maj. Appel says the hospital will be used
for patients from Xov. 1 to May 1, approx
imately. During the summer months it
b not to be used. Patients will then be
sent north. The major does not anticipate
having more Ilian several hundred pa
tients here before the weather becomes too
warm to make it the best policy to keep
them at the south.
During tne months when there are to
be no patients the hospital buildings will
not remain unused. It is the purpose
eh the government to establish a training
i-chool for hospital men. There is now
no such school in the country, and it is
desired that there be one established. M.i J.
Appel say s there were three such schools
before the outbreak of the war, and in
them the hospital men received their train
ing. He says It has been found neces
sary to establish another such school now,
as so many new men have been taken
into the hospital service since the war be
gan. They are in need of careful train
ing, and this it is proposed to give them
her.. The men will lie detailed from the
\arious i>osts and hospita.s where they
tew are and those who may he enlisted
' sent here to get instruction.
It is probable this will be the only school
of this kind maintained.
I- 1 male nurs. s will be employed to nurse
t o patients in the hospital. It is ex
p'l'tod there will be something like 150
e. Hum nere. it is expected that 130
men wi.l lie at work. These will not have

SUDDENLY STRICKEN.
When Timely AM nt tlie Right Time
Alight Have Saved the Life.
Scarcely a day passes that one does not
hear of men and women, known as pic
tures of health and strength, stricken
down by that dreaded disease pneumonia.
There are various causes of pneumonia,
but in whatever form it may come, it Is
terrible. If you have a tickling in the
throat, a tightness in the chest, a pain in
the head, a chilly feeling or pains through
out the body, act promptly, act wisely—
bring about au immediate reaction. Take
at once a pure medicinal stimulant which
will tend to equalize the circulation,
check congestion and restore health.
There Is but one that can be recom
mended. That is Duffy's Pure Malt Whis
key. This is ihe only medicinal whiskey
upon the market, is so acknowledged by
the government and its purity and power
is proven by its popularity. It has saved
the lives of more men and women who
were candidates for pneumonia, than any
discovery of modern science. Don't con
found it with ordinary whiskey, which
has no medicinal value.
THEY WERE COMRADES.
Sixth Cavalry Xoncoiuß Remember
Corporal McDowell.
The Morning News is in receipt of a
communication from Corpl. J. L. Bielman,
of Troop K, of the Sixth Cavalry, now
at Fort LeavenwoVth, Kan., in which
twelve of the non-commissioned officers of
Ihe troop join in speaking in the highest
terms of Mr. J. S. McDowell, who was un
til recently a member of the troop, but
has since returned to his home in Savan
nah, having obtained his discharge. The
communication states that Mr. McDowell
joined the troop in Tampa, May 28 last,
being one of those who joined under the
act increasing the strength of the regular
army. "Mac,” as the letter says the boys
called him, was very anxious to go to
Cuba and “scrap” the Spaniards, but fate
willed it otherwise. Only eight troops of
Ihe Sixth were taken to Cuba and only
fifty men with each troop. As troop K
had left Fort Leavenworth with fifty-eight
men only the old men were taken and the
new recruits were forced to remain be
hind in Tampa. In spite of the fact that
he was unable to go to Cuba, the letter
says, Mr. McDowell did good work at
Tampa in drilling the new men, having
been promoted to corporal. Before the
departure of the regiment from Tampa,
however, McDowell had been taken into
the circle of friendship known as the
“Chosen Thirteen,” composed of noncom
missioned officers of the troop, the mem
bers of which greatly regretted leaving
him at Tampa. When the regiment landed
at Montauk Point, on its return from
Cuba Mae was there waiting for them,
and knowing what soldiers would want
who had been three months in Cuba he
had a large basket of choice food for his
friends to which they all did ample jus
tice. None of the chosen thirteen had
died in Cuba and the circle became com
plete again. It remained so until Jan. 22,
when Mr. McDowell secured his discharge.
Mr. McDowell was escorted to the depot
by his friends, in “their own style,” the
letter states, who parted with him sadly.
A written agreement was made by the
thirteen that all the members should meet
each other again at the Southern Hotel
in St. Louis, Jan. 29, 1902.
The membership of the thirteen as given
in the letter, consists of Sergeants Peter
J. Peterson and George Foure,
Corporals Sam Perterson, Jos
eph L. Bielman, Michael Casey, Henry
Garrison, Albert Lucas, Jack Ward, Henry
Misostow, Harry Raynard, Charlie Smith,
John Uhlrick, and <he absent member,
J. S. McDowell. All join in wishing the
latter much .success in "the civil strife.”
TWO CONCERTS BY SOUSA.
Famous Rand at tlie Theater Till*
Afternoon nnd To-night.
Sousa's famous band of international
reputation, arrives in Savannah this morn
ing and will give two performances at the
theater this afternoon and to-night. The
advance sales of seats has been large and
there is hardly a doubt but that the thea
ter will be crowded at both concerts.
Sousa and his band have been here be
fore, and the quality and variety of their
work are so well known as to make
comment almost cuperfluous. For each
concert Mr. Sousa has prepared a pro
gramme that cannot fall to satisfy the
most exacting tastes. He will be assisted
by Miss Maud Reese Davies, soprano, and
Miss Dorothy Hoyle, violiniste, both young
artists of commanding talents, and the,
famous Arthur Pryor, trombone.
A critic writing recently of Sousa and
his band said:
"The merits of the Sousa band are too
well known to need comment, for their
fascinating, clean cut and spirited playing
arouses enthusiasm in even the dullest
mind. With the finest of brass and the
sweetest of wood wind, the band appears
to remarkable advantage in all that it
does. Mr. Sousa tests the resources of his
players to the utmost with only the most
satisfactory results. Free to follow the
bent of his genius, with unlimited re
sources in the matter of men and music,
and. above all, with that personal mag
netism that seems of equal effect over au
dience and players alike, small wonder
that Sousa has achieved international
fame as the foremost bandmaster and
made his organization at once the most
popular and prominent of its kind in the
world.
“In the minds of the countless throngs
that have iistened to the work of this
superb band in the past there have al
ways lingered for many days the vague,
wonderful impressiveness of the ponder
ous harmonies of the old masters; the
lighter, witching music of the present for
eign school, and the boisterous, ringing,
swinging marches of the famous leader
himself. Either as conductor or composer.
John Philip Sousa needs no further com
mendation. So much has been truly said
and written of his vast musical talent,
his exceptional good taste and marked
executive ability, that comment at this
stage of his career is superfluous.”

THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT.
lIEV. CHARLES H. STRONG’S SERMON
LAST NIGHT ON MORALITY.
Said He Had Had bin Intention of
Omitting the Seventh Command
ment From nix Serle* of Sermon*.
Some of the Heimons That Tend to
Corrupt Social Life and Counsel
for Their Avoidnnce—The Hou*e
liold the Starting; Point and It*
Exntuples anil Lesson* Should lie
Made of Benefit* in lluising the
Moral Tone of Society.
R?v. Charles H. Strong preached on the
• Seventh Commandment at St. John’s
Church last night. His sermon was the
seventh of a 6erles he is rendering oyi the
Ten Commandments.
“The Commandments of Jesus Christ,"
said Mr. Strong, “should always be pure
to the pure. When I began this series of
sermons on the commandments I had
never a thought of omitting the Seventh.
He said he recognized the delicacy of his
subject, but that its importance is such as
to make it necessary for him to include it
among those of which his sermons treat.
It is very evident, Mr. Strong said, that
the observance of the commandment is
the very corner stone of all order. The
sancity of the family is revered and
watched over with a faithfulness that
shows the strongest difference God has
placed between man and brutes.
Polygamy was touched upon as it exist
ed in Old Testament days, and the rector
sakl there might be seen reasons that
might justify its practice, but he charac
terized the practice as existent at the pres
ent day as a blot upon the fair name of
the law and civilization.
There was a reverence, Mr. Strong said,
among the Jpws and the Romans for the
law governing the sexes, hut social purity
they could not obtain owing to the lack
of restraint to their natures. It remained
for Christianity to accomplish the emanci
pation of woman. It declared marriage
a religious ceremony and protected it by
the blessing of God. Christ’s conception of
the law is the protection of the sacredness
of the marriage rue, as revealed in the
sermon on the mount, and he recognized
but the one reason for divorce. Christian
ity won a great victory in thus emanci
pating woman and throwing about her the
protection of its rites.
Under the law of Moses divorce was per
mitted and a man might put away his wife,
but Christ said for naught but adultery
should divorce be given. In this country,
the rector said, marriage 'can never be
anything in the eye of the law except a
civil contract, whether performed in the
court room of the justice or in the church,
and it should therefore be guarded with
ali the strength of morality. Sometimes,
the rector said, it may be right and proper
for a woman to be released from what is
bondage of such ill treatment as to make
it unbearable, but he believes if divorce
should become as prevalent in the South as
in some of the Western states all the cher
ished affections of the household would
pass away, and it is therefore a safeguard
that the church throws about social life
with its attitude of recognizing but the
one cause for divorce.
Mr. Strong referred to conditions that
existed in the middle ages when men and
women retired to monasteries and nun
neries to avoid the influences for evil. He
said history should be viewed charitably
and that the circumstances of the times
should be considered. Thus it may have
been the proper thing for these people to
withdraw from the world, but he said the
religion that shuns social life is not that
of Christ. Now there is a more healthy
social life, and it should be the object of
Christians to make it yet purer. The
homes of Christian people were named
as the best schools in which examples of
purity might teach the most splendid of
lessons and thus become the salvation of
children and the means of increasing so
cial purity. We meet the outcast and
shudder, but do we not always stop to
think that she may have had a bright and
happy ehlldlife; that she may have been
the child of wealth and luxury,
pampered by ihe love of fond
parents and admired and caressed
by good men and women; that she
may have grown into young womanhood
that might have been pure had it not been
for some neglect of parents; and that
when temptation came, she was unable to
withstand it and lost home, happiness,
almost heaven' itself.
Politeness of speech as grown of re
cent years and the culture that is shown
in polite society has removed something
of the dangers of years ago, but this cul
ture and superficiality may cover insidious
sin in the heart. Then, too, the rector be
lieves. much of evil is instilled by the per
rusal of romances of the French school.
He said he would rather place Shakes
peare, with his big open heart, in its ex
purgated editions, in the hands of youth
than those realistic novels. Amusements
that foster thought that result in evil
were condemned. Mr. Strong said he favors
harmless amusements that delight the
young and he mentioned a number of plays
that he regards as beneficial, but It is the
play that skip across the surface of im
morality and leave impressions that attack
purity that should be avoided.
Hypocriey and the mercenary giving in
marriage that Is frequently to be seen
were named as fertile sources from which
immorality springs. The rector regards it
as fortunate that these marriages of con
venience are not made as often in this
country as abroad and that men and
women do not bring to this country in the
same degree the customs of Africa and
barter their daughters.
In the Magdalens of the present day Mr.
Strong sees much of the world's mock
ery. He considers the world turns Us
back on the victim while the author of
the wrong still moves in his high places.
The one should be blamed with the other.
The vice of the cities and those who live
in their dens are the rolled down debris
of society. Women are in them who,
tempted, were unable to resist and fell
from their positions in society. Here an
there there are noble women going about
lifting up these Magdalens, but Mr. Strong
says he feels this is but checking a vein
while a great artery is left flowing. So
ciety should purify itself; should base it
self on pure households and follow the
doctrines of the Lord.
HIGH-CLASS LIGHT OPERA.
“The Bostonians” nt the Theater on
Friday Night.
The sale of seats for "The Bostonians"
will open to-morrow. The company will
lie at the theater on Friday night.
The engagement of “The Bostonians” Is
among the most pleasant events In the
theatrical season. Their representations of
light opera are an agreeable relisn to those
who are surfeited by the alleged onslaughts
of innane extravanganees and “trashy”
musical comedies. The Bostonians have
always maintained a high standard of per
formance and the name still obtains when
worthy and meritorious and lyric work
is considered. This season finds thia or
ganization as firmly entrenched as ever
in the affections of music lovers, and with
a list of singers which includes the most
prominent artists on the siage, their en
gagement will no doubt awaken unusual
Interest. At the head of the organization
is the genial comedian, Henry Clay Barn
aliee, whose friends arc legion; the dash
ing baritone, W. H. MacDonald; the fam
ous contralto, Jessie Bartlett Davis; Helen
Bertram, the brilliant soprano, who has
added new laurels by recent successes in
England; the unctlous comedian, George
Froihingham; the graceful tenor, William
Lavin; the virale ima-q, WMlaiu Brad-tr
iik; swo.'t voiced Joslphlne lUrt t<; com
edians Harry Brown an.l *W. It. Vwgger*
nld, of well known reputation; Carolyn
Daniels, soprano; Lloyd Hand, tenor;
Charles R. Hawley, baritone and others.
Supporting the principal singers is an es
pecially attractive chorus of fifty fresh
young voices, while under the direction cf
S. L. Studley is a well balanced and ef
fective orchestra.

Do Hog* Pay?
Editor Morning News: The agricultural
editors are wrestling with the above ques
tion. but, as usual, don’t seem to get the
right idea at all.
There are many kinds of hogs; but all
aro very similar.
For Instance, there is the home hog
(swinis domesticus). He la the fellow who
at table helps himself to the tender part
of the steak, and kindly lets his wife and
children enjoy the lough part. Very like
ly he pays the family expenses.
Then there Is the restaurant or board
ing house hog (porous tavemus), who
grabs everything, sticks his fork in dishes,
eats with his knife. He probably pays for
his meal, but thinks he owns everything
Ihero,
Then (here is the car hog (hoglbus omni
bus), who spreads himself over several
seats, takes no notice of a tired stand
ing woman and perhaps has in his mouth
an extinguished, half-consumed cigar of
the brand used for disinfecting. The con
ductor no doubt sees that he pays his
fare.
The church hog (plgibus eccleslasticus),
among hie other amiable traits, has n
habit of going to sleep during sermon,
and snoring so loud as to keep everybody
else in church awake. He doesn’t dare to
always put a. button in the contribution
basket.
I might also mention the theater hog
(boarlbus tbespis), who makes a point to
go out between acts, tread on people's
toes; come in again when you are Inter
esled in watching the stage, and then
keep up a constant commentary of the
play or opera with others like him, until
everybody else is disgusted. Sometimes
he is In a private box with a theater
party, and evidently regards himself as
the chief feature of the .show. He prob
ably generally pays for his ticket—dead
heads are usually less obtrusive.
r will have to leave to the agricultural
editor to eettle whether other kinds pay
or not. Democritus.

A woman with the bines is a very un

unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
“ the blues,” nearly always, with wo
men. results from diseased organs of
generation.
It is a source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv
ousness in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass., to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough com
mon sense, and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. F. S. Henxktt,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol
lowing letter:
” Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—T have suf
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and ulceration of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
“I am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than I
have had for the past ten years. I
wish to say to all distressed, suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing' to
aid you.”

pound is a woman s remedy for wo
mans ills. More than a million wo
men have been benefited bv it.
power—and flung into prison, where they
would be left to starve did not their rela
tives or friends bring them food, for no
arrangements, whatever, arc made by the
authorities for the feeding of the prisoners.
All that Is provided is a prison, generally
crowded with prisoners dying of the
most loathesome and Infectious diseases,
dark and unventllated; and custodians
who are quite as brutal and savage as the
prison system itself.
Prisoners are cast into these hotbeds of
disease, generally without the most farci
cal pretense of a trial, to die and rot If
their crimes are light, or their enemies
impotent. Otherwise they ore probably
tortured in some way or another. Starv
ing merely is too good for them in the
opinion of the authorities.
Not long ago a merchant who had dared
to claim payment for goods Supplied to a
friend of one of the court officials was
Cast Into prison without trial, and after
suffering torments in the midst of a mass
of diseased humanity for months, was
taken out, shoved into a barrel fitted with
long spikes and rolled down a high steep
hill. The barrel eventually plunged into
the sea with Us torn and mangled cargo.
Imprisonment, torture and death for dar
ing to present his bill!
WHY THEY HARRY TITLES.
“A Relted Earl Stands as Load n
Clinnee of llelm; n Good Fellow ns
n Broker,”
From the San Francisco Examiner.
The society news tells us that Miss May
Goelet is going to marry the Duke of
Bueceluch and that Miss Pauline Astor is
going to marry his grace of Roxburghe.
Mrs. Colgate has just married the Earl
of Strafford.
Now is the time for all patriotic Ameri
cans to arise and cry aloud for vengeance
upon the perfidious Albions.
Now Is the time for "all thim” that
couldn't marry an heiress to save their
lives, and for all "those" who never met
a lord—and never will meet one—to gnash
their teeth and howl aloud about the
"sale of our girls.”
What if they are sold? Who cares?
What earthly difference does it make to
any one hut Miss Goelet and her imme
diate friends whom she marries or whether
she gets married at all? W T ho really cares
30 cents' worth whether Miss Astor weds
a duke or a crossing sweeper—except Miss
Astor and the man she marries? Why
shouldn’t any and all of these charming
young persons get married early and often
if they want to? As long us they are sat
isfied whose affair of honor is It? And
why, in the name of all that’s glittering
and gorgeous and romantic and comfort
able. shouldn’t they be satisfied?
If I were a rich girl, with a lot of ad
mirers, I think I'd pick out a nice little
belted earl myself. Why not? A lie lied
earl stands Just as good a change of being
a good fellow as a speculating broker or a
rr.an whose father struck it rich in hogs
or petroleum. To my mind, he stands a
great deal better chance to shine in that
much-vaunted light. When a man wears a
bolt—either that of a prize ring champion
or the one that goes with the ermine and
crown and things which an earl wears
when he goes to be “took” In the court
painter’s studlo—lt means, the belt does
that somebody has done something worth
remembering somewhere.
When a society girl marries a duke
everyone takes it for granted that she has
sold herself for a title. In three cases cut
of ten she may do so. In seven cases out
of ten she does not. In seven cases out of
ten she’s In love with the man she mar
ries, and, as Mr. David Warfield says with
so much unction, "Can you Ida ns- her?"
A man of title Is. in most Instances, a,
man of gentle breeding. He may not have
good morals, but ho Is almost certain to
have good manners. He may not boa
genius, but he Is pretty sure to be half a
dozen times more Interesting than the or
dinary American society man.
The “representative American citizen"
who is anywhere near the appropriate age
for marrying heiresses is usually so busy
finding out how to make himself represen
tative that he hasn't much lime for din
ners and at homes, and other pleasant
littlo ante-matrlmonlal pastimes. By the
time he is "representative" he has either
married some simple little woman who
loved him enough to go housekeoidng in
a flat and sit up nights and let him In
from his political meetings, offer the jani
tor has gone to bed, or he hi a confirmed
old bachelor.
The society girl couldn't marry a "rep
resentative American citizen" if she were
to spend half her life finding out how to
get acquainted with him. If I had to
choose between marrying a man who was
famous for a fine old name that has come
down through history, and a man who was
celebrated as a leader of cotillons, I'm
afraid I'd choose the name and
chances on teaching the owner of It all I
wanted him to know about the gentle art
of the cotillion afterward.
