MAINE AND THE WAR.
How They Are Enlisting for the Fight
Down at Passport.

An PASSPORT despatch to the Bangor
News, says: The armory Of Co. l, Second
Regiment. N. G. S. NJ, ON Green street
attracted large number of patriotic ciei-
zens all day Saturday. Captain W. S.
Hume had received telegram from Col.
Philbrook. SAYING: Recruit your COM
pany to seventy men at once," and short
time later notices were posted in con-
spicuous places Lieutenant Edward S.
Warde was recruiting officer and the ex-
animation physician Lieutenant H. v.
Jonah, NJ. D. Several young residents
enlisted for three years, but there was no
rush of signers.
Up to the time the telegram was re-
ceived here by Captain Hume, several
hundreds were waiting for call, but not
so later in the day when the recruiting
office opened in the armory for business.
During the afternoon more enthusiasm
was displayed by the young citizens and
other names were added to the list,
several being former members of Co. l.,
Second Regiment. The names of the new
'igners were known about the CRY be-
foro the ink was dry on their enlistment
papers and the boys were the centre of at
traction among their companions.
An amusing incident happened Satur-
dsv morning which demonstrated the
patriotism of most of the loud takers for
freedom, war, etc., around the hotel
Offices and halls here. About 20 citizens
were severely criticizing President Nc.
kinley and said war should be declared at
once Cuba would be easy to C pture and
they hcped tie cali would come for re-
cruits as they were ready for fight Capt.
Hume entered then with his telegram
Just received, and when it was read the
silence was noticeable. None in the party
enlisted and the subject was changed.
The men wanted to remain at home and
protect city property. Nearly the entire
number (thirtyJ was secured Saturday
and today tMonday) others will affix
their names and wait for the seven blasts
from the jumbo fire whistles, which will
call together the members of Co. L for
action.
Several hundred recruits can be looked
for if war is declared, as number here
are only waiting until their services are
required by Uncle Sam.
NAMES QUOTA.
In anticipation of the possibility of a
call on the national guard of the states
and territories to assist in the national
defence in the case of war with Spain,
Adjutant General Corbin Of the army has
compiled mass of interesting informa-
ton in connection with the strength of
the national guard and the quota each
state and territory would lie expected to
furnish under calls for from 30, 0G0 to &c.,
600 men, according, first. to the strength
of the national guard; and, second, &C
oording. 10 the population of the different
states and territories. These tables show
precisely the number of men each state or
territory would be expected to furnish
under the constitution, regardless of thu
strength of the national guard orgsniza-
tions in each state and territory. The fol-
owing is the official superintendent of the

She had TO go, IL will be remembered,
in something of hurry. Her imme-
mortal enemy, whom she has spent
thousands Of years in avoiding, came
along at hot speed. If 1t hadn't been
for the help OF her two faithful old
handmaids, Charity and Loving Kind
ness, she would hardly have got away
i'm decorous fashion. They had, as IL
was. to do some mending on her olive
crown, which agitation had both dis
placed and injured. Then II took some
time to pack the portmanteau with two
or three peplums and a few white san
dals. This Peace and Loving Kindness
had TO accomplish together for Charity

They were to take the night express for
Paradise, and though Charity knew the
different trains to the old abode per-

WALKING.

The trolley and the bicycle habit. be-
cause of the inexpensiveness of their
cultivation. have seriously retarded the
development OF the healthful pastime
of walking. which. for all the saddle
and the harness, has fiourished for
many generations. yea, from mans be-
ginning.
And yet walking can have lost moth
ing OF its value as a promoter of health
and pleasure. If II is neglected because
OF other means OF locomotion and ex-
ercise. so much the worse for us. Moth
ing can compare with the invigoration
induced by good. brisk walk or with
the pleasure OF quiet stroll whether
I'm city or country. And those who sneer
at pedestrianism for its claims as a cul-
tivator of wind and muscle. simply
don't know what they are talking
about. for 1t is possible to make Of 1t a
very violent exercise. AS vigorous
exercise it is limited to the strong. and
is quite as likely to be overdone as BIZ
cycling. But as a health giver, taken
moderately, the old and the weak may
indulge In 1t without fear.
The autumn, next after the early
spring. is the most available season for
walking. though the exercise is possible
in the depths of winter, when it is de-
cidedly fine. or In the heat OF mid
mer, when IL is something of strain
except to the very hardy to whom
good sweating is deemed of advantage.
And all the year around, pedestrianism
in moderation. the quiet stroll, is ex-
cellent both for health and pleasure.
But the cooler and hot to cold months
are the most inviting as we'll as, prob
ably. the most advantageous in q
health giving way.
You don't go so far on Shank's mare
as you do on bicycle, but II you have
trained yourself to use your eyes as
well as your legs. you get vast deal
more pleasure from 1t. The modern
transportation facilities. including the
trolley and the Wheel keep us rushing
through life, and from lack OF use our
vision loses its capacity for photograph
ing objects for our mental delight, so
that we miss a lot of beautiful or in
teresting things that arc worth seeing
and enjoying. Walking encourages the
capacity for observation, and therein
lies no end OF pleasure.

tion proportionately as large. In
territory. Cuba Is twelve times the area
OF Porto Rico and about two-thirds as
large as the whole of New England,
and when she gets cleaned up in san
itary way she will offer most invit-
ing field for enterprise of the kind that
built up our great West. President
Polk offered Spain a hundred million
of dollars for Cuba half century ago
and that furnishes only a faint idea
of the value ofethe island today, both
TO our country as her nearest neighbor
and friend and to the Cubans them
selves.
In Cuba and In Porto Rico, but more
especially in the former. will be found
an outlet for American enterprise and
