This stone was the thing they had decided
upon and they had permitted the stranger

MOODY IN PROVIDENCE.
His Meetings There Said to Have Been
at an Opportune Time.

The Providence Journal. speaking of the
said: Rev. DIR. Vose in an interview is
quoted as saying: "One thing which sug-
gests itself is that the arrival in Providence
of Mr.. Moody was at most opportune
time. He came in the midst of the suffer-
ing, when men were discouraged at having
no employment and their families in need
His meetings. 1 think, have done much to
counte-act the usual tendency of such
times, when men are so apt to give them
selves up to indulgences in vices out of
sheer desperation. Yes, the city of Provi-
dence has been greatly benefited by Mr.
Moody's revival. and the benefits are not of
tranSitory nature"
His audiences take on the permanency of
regular congregations. so far as the number
of days or weeks devoted to revival will
allow. One woman has coupled the same
seat for five consecutive meetings and she
goes to it as naturally she would walk
down the aisle of her own church to the
family pew. The chorus singers are accus-
toned to their conspicuous positions on the
platform and no longer feel conspicuous
when they rise to lead the great congrega-
ton in singing the hymns. In short the
Moody and Sankey revival, with Sankey
out, mas got into excellent working order
The meetings all begin on time, are always
blessed with large attendance, each one is
more enthusiastic, more satisfactory than
its predecessors. There Is nothing to mar
the smoothness of it all, the choir is as well
trained orchestra of long standing
and the public understands generally that
no one Will be admitted during the singing
or when prayers are being said.

Transfers to G Street.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The timely inquiry of one Of your CORE
spondents regarding the strange custom of
the Washington and Georgetown Railroad
Company in giving transfers from George
town to the Catholic University. the end of
the New York avenue line, via G
street horse car line. and not affording the
same privilege from the 14th street branch
has been a query for some time among the
residents who patronize the latter line The
desirability of enjoying this convenience is
of much present interest during the pure
hope of its realization increases apace with
the near approach of the great Moody and
Sankey revival.
The brief time between office hours and
the commencement of these services each
evening renders rapid transit as such ar
rangements would afford of the utmost IN
portance TO this whole northwest section
now using the 18th street cars 1t Will be
practically impossible for these citizens to
reach these meetings on time in any Other
way. In this matter L am sure 1 voice the
sentiments of a very large number, who
are especially anticipating the Moody meet
ings, of thousand department clerks from
the patent office department of education,
city post office and pension office and Of a
vast horde of everyday shoppers. There is
currency in such an arrangement for the
street car company and convenience for
their patrons. Here is where The company
can accommodate the public and at the
same time oblige themselves.

NOT MUCH MARCHING.
The Total Distance Covered Last Year
by the Army.

by the Army.
The troops of the regular army accord
ing to the New York Times, did very Little
marching last year. Less than 6e,000 miles
were covered by the soldiers. Most of this
distance was made by the cavalry regi-
ments, the total in that branch being 5000
miles. The infantry marched about one
fourth of that distance, and the artillery
batteries, which never have very much
marching to do, Travelled only 800 miles.
There was only one regiment-the third
cavalry--which made an unusual record.
This regiment Travelled $1,000 miles-lnos.ly
scouting along the western border-or near
ly one-third of the total number Of miles
travelled by all the other organizations.
The longest distance travelled in one lay >
march was accomplished by troop Il. third
cavalry, which made eigh.y-five miles.
This is the same troop that made The best
record Of the year before. when 1t covered
seventy-eight miles in one day during the
Cara campaign. The regiments wmcn
had no marching to do were ordered out
in practice marches in heavy order. There
was no system about these exercises. how
ever, and one of the things proposed ior
the present year is a regular course Of
marching for troops which do not nave me
advantage of actual work.
In connection with marching is the sub
ject for preparing for long trips. Il Is al
ways interesting to army officers 20 Know
how promptly a body Of soldiers can get
ready for marching with thirty days ra-
lions. 1t has been estimated that com
pany can prepare itself for a march OF this
dura ton in from five minutes to six hours.
and for a campaign in from thirty minutes
to twenty-four hours. During the year
little information of practical value has
been contributed by the records kept. One
post commander, after receiving the var
led opinions of captains on this subject,
found that at a night alarm the infantry
battalion. in heavy marching order. was
in line ready to move in nine minutes. and
the cavalry troops in fifteen minutes, the
distance to the color line being one-foursh
