Nebraska Boys Escort the PertQ
sylvao'ans From Transport
to Military Camp.
Oq Reaching Carrjp the Easterners
fire pavored With a Big
Square Meal.
Sax Francisco, Aug. 3. At 9
o'clock thi3 morning the I'enm-ylvania
troops dicemb;irUod from the transport
Senator and commenced tho march to
the Presidio reservation, where tho
soldiers will go into camp, prepara
tory to mustering out.
The reception accorded the soldiers
from the Keystone state was similar
to that given the Oregon, Nebraska
and Utah boys who had preceded
. them home. Thousands upon thous
ands of people lined tho streets
through which the boys were to pass.
-The usual medley of steura whistles,
cannon and fire-works accompanied
them all through the busiue-s sc ction
of tho city.
Lower Market street was packed
with people and as the parade swung
into that thoroughfare a mighty cheer
went up and was carried all the way
up tho street and repeated. Flags
waved constantly as the soldiers
marched between tho lines of specta
tors, and it seemed as if every piece of
bunting and every flag in the city had
been brought into service.
From hotel windows and business
houses streamers of bunting were
thrown to tho breeze and in some
places string of cow-bells had been
susended from windows to add to the
din.

Three hciivy batteries-, one light
battery and the regimental band of
the Third artillery cHine lirr-t in tho
parade, fo. lowed by the Nebras-ka
regiment, led by I..i-u tenant Colonel
Darnelt. Colonel lJ.irnett's sword,
draped in crape, out of respect to the
memory of Colonel Hawkins, com
mander of the regiment, who died at
sea enroute home, caused a hush 10
fall on the multitudes.
The l'cunylvnnians wore a sturdy
lot and presented ev n a better ap
pearance, from a health standpoint,
than did tho Nebraska boys and those
from Utah, but they a&cribti this to
the tonic t-iiocltt of the sea air on the
voyage and to tho fact that they were
off the firing line fr some time be f tiro
departure from Lht- irl'ivl;. -Today j
they were attired in blue uniforms
and carried their blankets and rifles
i and their spick and tpan appearauco
commanded great attention.
The soldiers accepted the attentions
showered upon them modestly, plod
ding along with oven step and only
occasionally looking to the right or
loft. Tho expressions of gratification
which their sunburned face bore and
an occasional cheer wcro the only
signs they permitted themselves to
show that they appreciated the
demonstrations of a grateful peoplo.
The plaudits of an admiring peoplo
could not dissipate tho discipline of a
year's service in Uncle S tm's army
aud the loss of thoir commander hung
heavily uHn them.
Cheer For the Ituttlt 11 tg.
The b.ittlettag of the I'ennsylvunias,
torn, shot riddled and almost a wreck
of its former beauty, excited more ad
miration than did anything else. As
soon us the color bei.rer came into
fciu ht carry ing the dingy and frayed
piece of silk a cheer mightier, if pos
sible, than any which had been given
the bi'ys rang out and reverbrated
along the throngs which had gathered
to welcome the solJiers.
Tho ambulances of the Pennsyl
vanias brought up tho rear of the'
regiment, bearing tt e sicK and the
wounded. Following the Pennsyi
vanianscame liattery C of the Third
artillery from the Presidio.
TLe parade was reviewed on Van
Nor-e avenue by (ieneral Shaftc-r and
in tho reviewing stand was the com
mittee of Pennsy Ivanians who had
come all the way from the Keyt-tone
stato to extend a weic; me to their, re
turned heroes. As tho troops passed
the reviewing starid they cou'.d not
surpress a cheer and it was returned
by those in the stard, bowing, waving
handkerchiefs and Hags.
On arrival at Iho PreMdio the work
of going into camp was taken up with
a vim and early in tho afternoon the
boys were comfortably quartered.
. Here they will remain for several
-weeks until they are mustered out,
when thoy will be taken to their Penn
eylvnnia homes in a body.
Arrangements for their transporta
tion oast are nearing completion and
by tho time the soldiers are mustered
out everything will fcc in readiness to
have them rushed across the conti
nent as fast as the iron horses c-f the
railronds can carry thorn.

I HORRORS OF COPPER RIVER.
Many Starving Miners Are Being Fed by
the Ciovernmeot.
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 3. C. F.
Periolat, a late- arrival from Copper
river and Cook's inlet, Alaska,report9
that on last Sunday the steamer Dora
arrived at Juneau with a large num
ber of sick and impoverished miners
from Copper river.
"The trail from Valdes to Copper
river," said Periolat, "has been com
pleted and the old trail over the
glaciers abandoned. To all impover
ished miners in thi9 district the gov
ernment is giving employment at $50
a month and board until enough has
been earned to pay for a second-class
passage home. All of the Bcurvy sicK
are being sent out free.
"In the early part of July four
bodies were found in the sound at
v aides. They had come down the
river with the broken ice, but were so
badly decomposed that identification
was impossible. In June last a man
and a woman who had come from Den
ver were drowned in the Kakuk while
boating. The body of the woman was
recovered late" and $700 in gold taken
from the clothing. The man's body
was not fouod. His name was Lang
ley. Miuers are leaving Cook's inlet
on every boat and few now remain in
the interior."
Captain Aborcrombie, who, with &
detachment of soldiers, is driving a
trail up the Copper river to tho Tan
ana country, will have opened about
100 miles by the time the season closes.

HAVANA, Aug. 2. A Cuban com
mittee has started out with the inten
tion of triving the natives free instruc
tions of certain points. The members
of the committoo say a definite form of
government for the island will soon
bo determined upon and they urg-o
every citizen to at least learn to write,
pointing out that there is no ques
tion now of fighting for indepen
dence, but that every man must say
clearly what ho wishes in regard to
the future of the island, adding that
they will only have themselves to
blame, if on account of apathy they
have to confess they are incapable of
their own social and political regen
eration. The Pntria says editorially toda3
that it believes (5-overoor General
FSrooke has tho right to dictate any
order for the purpose of correcting
the present situation, "providing the
order does not infringe -the resolution
declaring the Cuban people indepen

Senator llorktd In Silence.
SAN Kit A NCI SCO, Aug. 2. The dock
ing of the transport Senator today was
unaccompanied by tho blowing of
steam uens and the ringing oi hells.
An impressive silence prevailed
throughout tho operation, in spite of
the fact that thousands of eople
tlioi.;ctl "tiie'dociis to" witness tho
landing of tho vessel which had borne
the Tenth Pennsylvania regiment from
the Philippines to a friendly shore.
Thero was no cheering as tho vessel
made fast to the government dock.

to havo impressed everyone in an un
usual manner and along tho water
front Hags hung at half mast out of re
spect to the horo of two wars.
, Later in the day a detachment of
soldiers carried the casket containing
the body from the transport to an
awaiting hoarse. Heads were bowed
and not. a few of the Pennsylvania
boys went as the coffin was placed in
the hoarse to be taken to a local
undertaker's establishment. A detach
ment of eleven men and an officer es
corted tho hearse through the" streets.
There was no other ' military demon
stration, but a guard will watch con
stantly beside the casket and when
the body is placed on board the cars
for the east a guard will be detailed
to accompany it.
Tomorrow morning the Pennsyl
vania boys will be given a chance to

"While walking around wy ?rm J
came across a copper-colored snaka
about- zya feet long. I struck the rep
tile a blow on the head with a ticlc,
and to my surprise the snake fell apart
in four pieces. Near by was a hole,
aafI2to this the head went. and al
thpirh I worked Tor half an hour 'try
ing to-get it, I failed- I then examined
the body, which was as hard as if had
been frozen, and. as far as I could dis
cover, -It was entirely lifeless. Think
ing it was a jointed snake, I left the
pieces of the body on the ground and
went to the house. Shortly afterward
I returned, but the portion of the bod
i ua i i nau ten disappeared, and no
trace of It could be found."

GRASSHOPPERS HURT CROPS
Entomologists of Nebraska, Kansas and
Colorado In Consultation.
DKNVEK,Aug. 2. Eastern Colorado,
western Nebraska and Kansas are just
now In the throes of a grasshopper
plague, the worst on record for fifteen
years. Crops aro being devastated and
tho farmers are being driven to dis
traction by the inroads of the pest, ac
cording to reports received at. the
State Horticultural department this
morning.
In fact, the gra'-shoppere are doing
so much damage that the entomolo
gists of the three states have decided
to hold a meeting to devise a plan to
combat them. Prof. L. R-uner,state
entomologist of Nebraska, arrived at
Denver at noon from the effected dis
tricts and after a consultation with
Mr. Shute, secretary of !4.a horticul
tural board,left for Fort Collins, where
he will consult with Prof. C. P. Gil
lette, the Colorado entomologist, and
S. J. Hunter, the Kansas authority on
bugs,on tome method of getting rid of
the pest that is now making life a bur
den in the rainbalt country.
"I have seen the grasshoppers
thicker in that section, but not often,"
remarked Prof. Bruner. "They are
as numerous now as the farmers can
stand and unless something is done at
onco to check them the loss to crops
will be tremendous. At our meeting
we shall recommend tho general use
of keroseno hopper-dosers by the far
mers in their fields and will also urge
plowing up the edges of alfalfa patches,
so tho eirgs of tho hoppers will be de
stroyed. Wo have ssvoral other
schemes on foot which may servo to
check tho pest to a great extent."

MADE A MISTAKE.
att Tinctured a Watermelon with Root
tUt-r Inatmd of rt.t.iiinc.
Washington Special to the Baltimore
Sun: A distinguished senator from
New England has for twenty years past
boasted of his skill in preparing water
melons for his table. Last year, about
this tine, he asked a number of friends
to his house to enjoy a melon feast.
In preparing for the event the senator
plugged three fine Georgia melons an 1
poured into each one a quart of cham
pagne. When, several hours after
ward, they were brought upstairs to
the dining room the host prepared to
do the carving. All but several of his
most intimate friends were served from
the two melons first cut. The third
one, the finest of the lot, was kept for
the senator himself and the few others
who, in his opinion, could appreciate
a good thing. This melon, when cut
open, seemed a little darker in color
than the others, but no one commented
on the fact. Hach gentleman after ne
had tasted It remarked, "This is deli
cious," but their approval had in it a
ring of politeness that made the sen
ator suspicious. The senator hurriedly
cut out a morsel, held it to his lips
several times and then exclaimed:
"Well. I've been fixing melons this
v.-y for twenty years, and I never
tow one to taste like that before."
Seme one suggested that he had made
a mistake and proposed that they look
at V- bottles. So downstairs went the
w! ;'e party, and there on the shelf
were the tnree empty ooiues, iwu
with champagne labels and the other
marked "root ber."

Sti-afTord.
The new Earl of Stra'tord is one of j
the most popular clergymen, in Eng
land, with a record of having performed
mor marriage?, than any othci of lil
Order. It is, however, premature to
call this Rev. Hon. Byn; Lord Straf
ford, as there may yet be a direct heir
to the unfortunate earl, who was killed
recently by a railway train. The Byngs.
are a needy family, the earldom, such
as it is, being extemely difficult to
maintain according to aristocratic
ideas. But when the late earl wedded
the very rich Mrs. Colgate of New
York the bargain was a mutuu ex
change of title and support, and the
disappointment of the countess at this
turn of affairs can readily be appreci
ated. Should Lady Strafford present
herself with a posthumous heir to the
title, she will have some consolation
for the shock and unhappiness which
she has been forced -to suffer ever since
her marriage last January. Ambi
tious American women pay dearly for
titled husbands, yet they Insist on
having them.
