A short time ago a young man of imposing mein and pompous manner called upon Major Baldwin, and after some preliminary conversation apropos of nothing requested a favor in connection with a contract for furnishing supplies for the army.

I am a nephew of the Prince of Wales.” The major's last shot floored the visitor completely, and he retired from the field crushed and speech- less. But the matter did not end there. The “nephew’ of the Secre- tary of War and “friend” of the Secretary of the Treasury and other Cabinet officers was determined on revenge. He drew up a long com- plaint against Major Baldwin and forwarded it to the War Depart- ment. In this complaint, among other things, he charged that the major was a foreigner and a scion of royalty, and demanded to know by what right an Englishman was allowed to hold a commission in the United States army and entrusted with the important duty of purchas- ing provisions for American soldiers. The document was forwanrded to Washington, and underwent the usual course of red tape, and was finally returned to Major Baldwin, decorated all over with hieroglyphic indorsements and recommendations affixed thereto by the various offi- cials through whose hands it had passed. Major Baldwin has not re- celved any notice of a prospective court martial, and the receipt of the peculiar document has afforded him endless amusement. A few days ago another beef con- tractor was complaining to the major that the columns of stuff published in the newspapers regard- ing the alleged poor quality of the beef furnished the army during the Santiago campaign had ruined ‘his business. The major grew sympa- thetic at once, “Why, my boy,” sald he, 11 tell you how you can sell all the beef you can furnish, the newspapers will not have an unkind word to say and the soldlers will never utter a complaint Aovice To The -Besr MAN, ¢ © + 4] 3+ § & (4] + + < + ] + § 3 © + (4} + © + (§ X © + © + © + [ § % © + (4] + <o + g are likely to overcharge you on other { goods.

The Judge hotly nied that there was any bias in his mind against Pistolesi, and if he considered that a fine of $ with no alternativ uld be imposed he was very much mistaken.

Surgeon, Major Hays of the Siamese navy arrived at the Palace on Friday morning, and yesterday he instructed the bellboy on the second floor, Louis Pizarro by name, to take the suit of clothes which he had heen wearing on his trip across the continent to a tailor and have it cleaned and pressed. Young Pizarro, who 1s about 20 years of age, did so, and ‘as he was passing through the halls with the suit on his arm a wallet containing cur- | rency consisting of £1000 sterling and $500 in American notes fell out of the pocket | of the coat. Pizarro was astounded at the displa aced at his dispc | | | | but his_honesty has always been above par, and he forthwith hunted up Surgeon Hays and handed him the mongy.

Truman refused to cash the stenograph- er's demand on the ground that it should first be passed by Auditor Wells. It is claimed that the Supreme Court has.held n several occasions that the formality of placing the clalms first before the Aqu’tor is unnecessary, the signature of rapher {8 employed being sufficlent. Judge Cook did not determine the action yester- day, but continued it.for further hearing till the 18th ipst. — e TO RECEIVE THE FIRST. The Gallant California Volunteers Are Expected Home in June. The joint committee representing par- lors of the Native Sons and of the Native Daughters preparing to receive the First California Regiment met again last night in Native Son$' Hall. The statement was made as coming from an authoritative source that the regiment would return from Manila in June. The form which the reception will as- sume has not been determined. It will be governed largely by the amount of money available at the time. As a pre- liminary step in raising money with which to entertain the Californians a mu- sical and vaudeville show will be held at Mechanles’ Pavilion May 10. - A varied programme will be prepared by the com- mittee in charge. This committee is drawn from both orders having the reception in hand. The programme will be made public shortly. —————————— Deputy Grand Master Workman. Grand Master Workman J. M.

Ben out to th’' hospital at th’ Pre- ¢ sidio ever since. This is th’ first day th’ doctors let me out, an’ I thought g3 T'd like to see them Red Cross ladies again—that is, if they were here. . “You haven't forgotten them, then?” 25 “Forgot them wimmin, neighbor? Why, you might jes' ez well expec’ a & man to furget his mother! No, I hevn't furgot them an’ ther’ ain’t a man in 8 the Philippines to-day, volunteer or regular, that hez fergot them. Thet is, not one who's aliye, I mean.” “Then the boys appreciate what the society d@id for them while they were here?" " a5 “Neighbor, you Kin bet yer supper th’ boys appreciate them ladies. Goin out on the steamer we used to talk about them people an’ wisht we had an- other sandwich sech as they brought to us when we went away. Layin’ in th’ trenches nights out thar th’ boys used to talk about th’ Red Cross folks when they’d get through talkin’ about home. You see, th’ first wimmin we met after we left home was them Red Cross ladies right here, an’ you know, neighbor, a kind word an’ a flower an’ somthin’ kinder homelike to eat counted a whole lot with th' boys, ’specially them that hadn’'t never been away from home before. Then they used to come out to Camp Merritt an’ bring th' boys things an’ help them write home, an’ we'd come down here an’ they'd always have a cup o' hot coffee an’ somethin’ thet tasted good to eat. We were always welcome an’ they jes' wouldn't take a cent from us, though the boys would ha’ ben glad to pay them fer what we got. “A’ter we got to Manila I was took sick with th’ fever an’ was in th’ hospital fer weeks. I tell you, neighbor, I used to think o' them Red Cross Jadies mighty nigh as much as I did o’ my mother, an’ I often wondered if 1 would ever see either of ’em agin. Then came th’ tack on Manila an’ th' fightin’, and me an’ th' rest o' th’ boys what could get outen bed fergot all about th’ fever an’ joined their companies. I was actually gettin’ well when a Filipino sharpshooter planted a bullet in me here’—indicating Ris right preast—an’ th’ next I knew I was back in th' hospital. At first th' doctors gaid I'd never get well, an’ I'd think of th’ folks back home an_' wonder if they'd get along all right 'tthout me. You see, father's gettin’ pritty old how an’ I'm th' only one of th’ boys who'd stayed with him on the farm. I thought, too, of these wimmin here, an’ was sorry I wasn't never goin’ to have a chance to thank ’em again for what they done for me. «“But after a while I got better an’ they decided to send me back, though the doctors said it was doubtful if I stood th’ voyage home. Once on the trip I had a bad turn—coughed up blood, you know, an’ th’' doctor sald I might ot live till we got to San Francisco. I made up my min’, though, that 1 would at least live till I got among th’ Red Cross ladies again, an’ now I'm so much better th’ doctor says I can go home soon. Think o’ that, neighbor. T'd about given up th’ idea of seein’ ma and th' rest an’ was satisfyin’ my- Self with th’ thought that I'd just manage to get this far. But I'm goin’ home. Mayba I can go nex’ week. Say, won’t ma an’ pa be tickled—an’ won't 1! But I'm sorry I ain't goin’ to get to see th' Red Cross ladies again. If you should happen to see any on ‘em down here jes' teil em all th’ boys re- bers 'em.” mc%\'en more slowly than he hobbled on the dock the beardless veteran made his way out to a car and the hospital, to patiently await the day when orders come for him to proceed home and to ‘“‘ma.” | ¢ LA AR S AR S AR AR AL R R R O R L A A P | '..gg.fi.gozaoseo R eRILARANIUNINRININIRNIR+ R+ R+ LG+ BBk %e shortly after 6 o’clock last night.
