Blushing Hero.
Washington, Aug. 27.—The
Porto Rican commission will
Hal l next Wednesday for Porto
Rico on the Seneca, which at
preaeat is one of the vessels of
the war department, but prob
ably will be transferred to the
navy. Admiral Schley will hoist
his Hag on her, while the Brook
lyn, will go into dry dock for
repairs. •
Hobson had his ovation, the
Rough Riders had theirs, and
Wheeler his, but all three
combined would not begin to
equal the demonstration at the
war, state and navy departments
this morning in honor of Rear
Admiral Schley. Th re has been
nothing like it here before.
The magnitude of the ovation
given to Schley last night about
Washington and in front of' his
hotel was of a most remarkable
character.
Crowds had been waiting all
morning in front of the great
navy department building, and
the shout they raised upon his
appearance was a signal for
those inside that the gallant
admiral had arrived. As if by
mutual consent, all business was
suspended. Not only did the
clerk and minor clerks and
minor officers of the war and
navy departments leave their
desks, but the heads of bureaus
joined in the wild rush to wel
come the admiral. The corridors
could not begin to hold the
throngs that pushed around
him.
Gen. Wilson, head of the en
gineer department, threw his
anin around the admiral’s necic
and kissed him. For the next
ten minutes he was bombarded
with embraces and kisses from
men and women alike. There
must have been forty woman
who thus displayed their love
and admiration for the gallant
officer. He stood the ordeal as
he must have stood the firing
from the Spanish fleet.
Wiiile h) remained in the de
partment, which was nearly an

He was to have taken the

thrown up about him.
He received every ovation
with modesty, almost shrinking
at times from the popular ex

small, spare man, not as large
as his pictures would indicate.
He will leave this afternoon
for Maryland, the state of his
birth, which is waiting with
open arms to welcome him.

teams are in practice and some
hot games are expected. Mr.
Will Sanford, manager of the
Rome nine has gone to a great
expense in giving Rome some
good ball games and he should
have a large crowd at each game.
There is more Catarrh in this

failing to cure with local treat

constitutional disease, and tbere

Chattanooga, Aug. 27 It was an
nounced yesterday that it will
be practically impossible to
maintain the army corps at
Huntsville, where it has been
ordered to proceed from Chica
mauga. The indications are
that the corps will be sent in it*
entirety to Anniston, Ala', a
place said to be admirably
adapted for camping a large
body of troops.
The officials here have agreed
upon the change in plans and
only await endorsement from
the war department.
The reason for the change is
scarcity of water at Huntsville.
Gen. Frank, commander of
the third corps, who has re
turned from Huntsville, states
that the wa er supply there
would not be sufficient for the
men already on the ground and
his corps, an I that the only
way the difficulty could be sur
mounted would b) to put in a
pumping station. This would
cause a delay of about a month,
and Gen. Breckenridge deems a
delay a; present very poor poli
cy.
The statement published in a
number of papers during the
last 48 hours tj the effect that
600 men have died at Camp
Thomas since its establishment
is without foundation. The
number is little more than 500.

the Black Devil of
Disease. If she has
any weakness or de-
rangement of the
delicate organism of her sex, to relv upon
an unskilled, inexperienced, general prac

bier’s hazard. Her only real safety is in
the careful weU digested advice of a physi
cian who has had wide, special experience
in diseases of this particular class.
The chief consulting physician of the fa
mous Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo, N. Y., Dr R. V Pierce, has de
voted thirty years of special study and prac

“Favorite Prescription.’’ has done more to
restore perfect health and strength to wom

proprietary medicine devised for this pur

woman’s peculiar ailments.
A woman writing to Dr. Pierce regarding
herself may feel absolute assurance of re

obstinate of these delicate troubles may be
promptly relieved and permanently cured.
