about it, for a short time afterwards a l
bi ! was introduced in tr.e New York lea-
Islature to compel the Lang Island tail- ■
road to put cowcatchers cn th.- rear in
stead of the front of their trains, order
that animals might not come on l»oard
and bite the passengers. It was a good sug
gestion, but 1 don't know if Me < ' 'rbin
followed it or not, for In our trip to Non
; tank 1 occupied one of the front eoaehe.-,
I sleeping between stations and chatting
' with the local population at all the stops.
\ Our conversation was usually about the
I train, which is so uncertain a factor in the
j quiet lives of the Ixmg Island •natives that
I they ke< p alive by taking an lnt< r. st in
its movements. At Southampton a young
man, br< ithless and hot. dashed aboard
just as we were moving out.
“Dog take that hotel mtn,” !•-• panto 1,
as he fell into a seat. “He told nm that
all the trains on this road w. re i
time ami here you come in right on ihe
minute.”
We did not want tun reput t'.i in of (-■
road injured in that way and .w. the
other passengers im the < ar— agt J to t' !•
him the truth.
“Tills is yesterday's train," I leaned over
and said to him. "The betel man is a

The railroad itself is worthy of a book.
It is an everlasting evid ■ a ■ th.it in tho
general scheme of how-not-to-do-it mapped i
out at the beginning of the ’
Santiago campaign Seer,, tary Alger never
overlooked a bet. There is no place in j
the ITiited States equally distant from New
York so hard to rentch as Montauk Point,
and tlie discomforts in getting there are
worse than those experienced in crossmg
the continent. In transporting the soldiers
tiro road has proven so hopelessly inad
equate and incompetent that, the govern
ment han at length been compelled to
charter steamships, and the probability is
th.it there will be no more deaths <>n route.
Those who have died through pa»t negli
gence will furnish to the investigating
| commissions much useful material.

Outside of the Rougn Riders there are no i
volunteer regiments In camp, all having
been sent to their homes on furloughs, at
the expiration! of which they will bo mus
tered out. Orders will be issued during the
week assigning each regiment of regular
troops now at the camp to regular army
stations in various parts of the country,
and the war department welcomes the
! prospect that within a few days the con
troversy regarding the sanitary condition
of Camp Wikoff will have been disposed
of in the most effective way. The depart
ment insists, however, that the abandon
ment of tlie camp at Montauk Point Is not
to be made on account of amy opinion that
tho place is unsanitary, for all of the ofll
clals, from the secretary down, insist that
the camp is healthfc.i, ami that the severe
criticisms of the administration for all
mismanagement of the camp are utterly
unfounded. But as to this much, more has
yet to be said.
The parting of the troops, officers and
men alike, has been pathetic. With the
ordering out of one. regiment would come
a swarm to nay goodby -a man who had
borrowed another’s canteen and wanted to
thank him for it: a man who had been c.ir
-1 fled wounded down San Juan hill, end
wanted to find the carrier; a man who (had
borro.ved a cartridge b It from a fellow
soldier unable to carry it longer, and who
i wanted to return it—all these men and
I many more banked about the depot when
‘ a. . "inm tnd was to depart and reached out
1 their hands for a farewell grasp. They
; hugged each Ollier and they t.U'ew bottles
of bO'-r at each otlher. 'i’iiey swapped lies
and guns. If they ever meet in this world
1 again there will be trouble tii.it the police
