The Dominion govern- ment has furnished three excellent uniforms to each man together with a liberal supply of underclothing, socks, etc. The diet on board ship will be plentiful, and will not be limited to the scale laid down by the regulations. Enough provisions have been placed on board to last the contingent for four months. The accommodation of the men is pronounced extremly good. There are only two tiers of bunks on the main deck, as compared with three in the majority of trans- There are two hospitals on board, each containing 30 beds, with all the necessary appurten- ances and a liberal supply of instru- ments and medicines. Four men from the medical company at Halifax were installed there, besides four nurses and three doctors. The chief danger is the possible outbreak of an epidemic, and this has been provided against by the erection of a special isolation hospital on the spar deck. All the volunteers who have not been recently vaccinated will have that operation performed during the voyage. The medical arrange- ments generrally complete, and every preparation has been made to thoroughly disinfect the ship in case of disease. The Red Cross society has fur- nished $2500 worth of supplies and the ladies’ branch collected $2000. In addition, the central committee handed Colonel Otter $1000 to be used for the benefit of the sick and wounded. The committee also gave $200 toward the purchase of outfits for the nurses, and presented each lady with the sum of $25. The SHIP is central fund is still open for sub- scriptions, although the ladies’ fund is closed. Persons desirous of send- ing money to any corps or individ- ual may do so through the Red Cross society, which will endeavor to forward it through its commis- sioners at the seat of war. Many subscriptions from British subjects and sympathizers in the United States have been received. The ship will probably reach Cape Town within five weeks, and the public need not feel anxious if nothing is heard of her before the expiration. of that time. —— DEWEY MUST SEE THE POPE As His Bride Is a Catholic a Marriage Dispensation Is Needed. New York, Tuesday.—Definite arrang for the dding of Admiral Dewey and Mrs. Hazen_ have not been arranged. The fact that Mrs. Hazen is a Catholic and that Admiral Dewey is a Prostes- tant will prevent the marriage tak- ing place in a Catholic church, un- less there should be a special dis- pensation from the pope. Admiral Dewey is nominally a member of the Protestant Episcopal church, but he has never emphasized ques- tions of dogma or creed, It is thought by those who know . him most intimately that, if only his per- .sonal interests are consulted, the wedding will occur soon and with as little ostentation as possible.

This is Mr. Brown’s second experience of the kind in two years. Yet he is a mar- tied man. The plaintiff in this case is Miss Catharine Haigh of Cincinnati. She is said to be 25 years of age, hand- gome and independently wealthy. According to Miss Haigh’s attor- ney, Brown advertised for a wife in the Chicago papers two years ago, thus: “A middle-aged gentleman, own- ing the richest gold mines in Cali- fornia, and.a millionaire, wishes to ‘correspond with a lady of means. Object, matrimony.” Miss Haigh saw the advertise- ment and corresponded with Brown. The result was a proposal of mar- riage and the suitor invited his lady love to become a shareholder in the dividends which he receives from the Gowanus Mining company.

On one occasion Brown wrote to Miss Haigh to help him out of a scrape with Mrs. Hum- phrey of Chicago, his other fiancee. Finally, afew months ago, came the awakening on Miss Haigh’s part and its result is the suit filed Monday. has proof that Brown has been mak- ing a practice of picking up sus- ceptible women in the east and sell- ing mining stock to them.
