ToPIc.-Called to what How Pisa. vi, l-s;
Mark /, 18-20
We have in the topical references the
stories of the calling of Isaiah and Of
Andrew, Peter, James and John. In the
year that King Uzziah died Isaiah had a
wonderful ecstatic vision of God on His
throne, with the angels about it COLI
stantly exclaiming: "Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord of Hosts. The whole earth
is full of His glory" Amid such sur
roundings Isaiah feels his own I'M
worthiness and cries out, Woe is me,
for am undonel' An angel sym bolical-
ly puriies him, and he1Sears the voice
of the Lord, saying, ''Whom shall I
send. and who will go for us?' And
without hesitation he accepted the COM
mission, saying: "Here am /. Send
me-.
AS Jesus was walking along the shore
of the Galilean sea He saw Peter and
Andrew casting net into the sea, and
said, "Come ye after Me, and / will
make you to become fishers of men. :"
Straightway they forsook their nets and
followed Him. He also called James and
John as they were fixing their nets, and
they left all and followed Him. We
may learn:
/. God calls Christians to definite,
specific service for Him. These were not
calls to salvation. These men were al
ready servants of God. They were calls
to definite, specific service of those who
had already consecrated themselves to
God. Isaiah was called to perform some
particular mission for God. The apostles
were called. as Christ said, to become
fishers of men," They were called to
become the associates of the Master
while upon earth so that they would be
equipped to carry forward His work
when He Himself was gone. God calls
Christians to service. 1t is not enough
to be saved. After we are saved we must
work out our own salvation with fear
and trembling. We work not to be
saved, but because we are saved. God
has a definite specific work for each
servant of His to do, and happy is that
servant who knows it and does it.
Q. God calls men to service in differ
ent ways There is vast difference be-
tween the call of Isaiah and that of the
apostles In the one case there is the
wondrous ecstatic vision and under the
excitement of such surroundings the
dramatic call, "Whom shall l send?"
and the response, Here am 1; send me. "
In the other instance, as men are en-
gagged in the ordinary duties of life,
Jesus quietly says, Follow Me, " and
they as quietly left all and followed
Him. God may call in different ways,
yet it is God who calls us. If it is not
with the same voice by which another
has been called, we are not to fail to
hear God in it. Every call to duty, to
service, is call from God, no matter
how it comes. Let us initiate the exam
pies of Isaiah and the apostles in their
prompt and faithful responses.

For the Public Good.

Zeal for the public good is the char
acteristic of man of honor and a gem

ications. Whoever wants this motive

neuter to mankind, in proportion to the

To Such q Degree.

A country is rich in such a degree
as its children are strong in that which
makes for righteousness and truth, and
poor, however much of land and gold it
might possess, if its children lack

the journey of the argonautic soldiers of 1S46.
 When the war broke out between the United States and Mexico, California was an outlying province of the latter country. It's resources were undevel- oped. The little that was known of the fertility of it's soil was within the knowledge of the padres who con ducted the missions. If they had suspicion of it's mineral wealth the secret was carefully guard ed. Its export commerce was confined to hides and tallow that were collected at q few seaport towns and bartered to trading vessels owned by merchants in Boston.
 In the event of war there was an un- derstanding between Mexico and Eng land that the province would be seized by the latter country, and a British warship. under the command of Ad- nliral Seymour, was stationed at Mag atlan prepared to make the seizure at the first intimation of hostilities.
 But the Government at Washington prepared for checkmate, and the capture of Monterey by Commodore Sloat was the beginning of the end of the American conquest of California. The country was then held by our na- val forces, supported in the> interior by the few volunteers under Fremont and later on reinforced by the regular troops that were larched overland by

this force of men in order that he may do a little Cuban campaigning and see some excitement. His name is William AStOr Chanler
 MT. Chanler's chief officer is Grover Flint, who through an experience of several years campaigning in Cuba with General Gomez. is ably fitted to direct such an expedition as MT. Chan Ter has organized.
 I visited their camp few days ago with my camera and found the trip well worth the trouble. The detach- ment of men under MT. Chanler's com mand are all of herculean build, and every man is an athlete. Not only that, but every one of them has seen service in some army or another, in various parts of the world and not one of them knows what physical fear means. The impedimenta is re- duced to a minimum and is the exact counterpart of that used by the Cu- bans on the island.
 A hammock of strong canvas, slung between two trees, forms the bed. Over this, supported by a lariat, yard above the hammock, is spread a ''poncho" or storm blanket of stout canvas. waterproofed. This forms their only tent. The ponchos are a pro- lection against both rain and sun, and

 Their leader is a man with a history. He has led expeditions into Central Af- rica, has fought against savage tribes there for years; has explored remote and hitherto unknown regions in the most inaccessible portion of the Dark Continent; has hunted tigers in India for the fun of the thing, and has done all sorts of unusual things, simply for adventure. He is rich and has equipped

The Sixth United States Cavalry is encamped in a pine woods about mile from Chanler's camp. This regiment includes among it's troopers those mar velous Cossack riders who electrified New York audiences some months ago at Madison Square Garden at the mili- tary tournament A Troop, in com mand of Captain H. P. Kingsbury, ably seconded by Lieutenant w. c. Short, is famous throughout the army for the daring of its riders. F Troop of the Third Cavalry, encamped in an ad- joining grove, Captain G. A. Dodd, is another equally noted troop of cossack riders; so the rivalry between them is marked to degree.

THE Stevenson regiment of vol
 unteers that sailed from New
 York in 1846, bound for San
 Francisco, was the first army
 ever sent by the United States to subjugate and occupy foreign ter ritory. It had never occurred before in the history of the world that a de- tachmentFof soldiers had been sent so far to reach the country of the enemy. Then the American Government reached westerly across the continent to seize province that had been a Spanish possession.
 In 1898, from the same port that was entered by the invading troops in 1S46, the second American army sails, as the first did, to the west to occupy re- mote territory. The span of the two expeditions will reach half around the globe in direct line, but when dis tance is considered there must be add ed the circuitous route around Cape Horn that was traversed by the army of 1846-a trip of over 15000 miles, oc- cupying six months by the sailing yes Bels that were employed as transports.
 With fleet and comfortable steam ships to traverse less tempestuous seas. This trip to the Philippines will be an excursion of pleasure compared with

tFom Photograph Specially Taken for The Call Tampa Fh)

Such little trif1es as picking up bits of paper from the ground from a run ming horse, leaping high obstacles. mounting and diSmounting at a charge. Vaulting entirely over a running horse or vaulting from the ground alighting on the horses back and facing to the rear. wheeling on fore feet, wheeling on hind feet, etc, were rapidly executed by these men, and they appeared to en- joy it.
 The drill. when completed by a troop- CT, gives him entire and absolute com mand of his mount The horses are trained to do everything and the entire troop will move sidewise at d trot-an almost improbable thing to imagine, yet it is true. The entire troop will charge over fences, ditches or hurdles, with the men standing upright in the saddles. Every horse will lie down in stantly at word of command and thus a force of cavalry in the woods can be concealed until an enemy approaches within a few yards.
 One of the most difficult feats, one well worth illustrating, was performed by one of the men riding at a gallop over very rough ground. He handled two horses, both spirited Steeds, and rode bolt upright, standing fairly in the, saddles. one foot on each animal.
 Another pretty effect, which shows the perfect control of the riders over their mounts, is shown in the picture presenting the three stages of the horse roing down. The intelligent animals will all go to their knees and remain there, with the cavalrymen mounted, until told to lie down.
 Another pretty picture was afforded by trooper holding the head of his pet. which reclined comfortably on the ground while the photograph was made. Some of the mel in A Troop will vault entirely over three horses running abreast, from the ground.
 Every man in the troop is an athlete. and every one an expert with saber, revolver and carbine. Captain Kings bury certainly has troop to be proud of. W. J. ROUSE.

" HE great city of tents at Tampa
 has been growing so rapidly dur
 ing the past two weeks that 1t
 is now impossible to see it all in
 a day, if one hopes to devote any
 time in the various camps. The sleepy little town, which for cen tury has sweltered in the sun and sand, has experienced such an awakening as its staid inhabitants never dreamed possible and has done more business in the last two months than ever before in it's history.
 On all sides of it, and down the long neck of sand which stretches to the Gulf, and ends at Port Tampa, the white tents of the cavalry, infantry and artillery dot the landscape, or glimmer like clouds, amid the dark green fol- iage of the pine trees. The population of this tented city is more than fifteen thousand. There are scenes of inter- est in every camp, and in every "com- pany street" things are seen that are very much out of the or dinary to the civilian.

way of New Mexico under the com mand of General Kearny.
 It was early in the spring of 1846 that President Polk directed the organiza- tion of a volunteer regiment in the State of New York for duty in Cali fornia-a body to be selected with great care and with the design that the volunteers should be discharged in this country at 'le close of the war and form the nucleus of it's American colonization.
 The regulations provided that all re- cruits should be surgically examined. and so strict were the examining sur geons that out of 800 men who were at first presented 150 were rejected, but within two da.-s over 800 applications were made for the vacancies. When completed very few members of the regiment were over q years of age and no married men excepting those whose wives accompanied the regiment as laundresses were accepted. The au- thority to raise the regiment and it's command was given to Colonel Jona- than D. Stevenson.
 The transport fleet consisted of the ships Thomas H. Perkins. Loo Choo. Susan Drew, Brutus, Isabella and Sweden. The regiment contained, off, cers and ali, PA men. The fleet was conveyed by the sloop of war Preble.

NApoLEoNs VALuE of McToRY
It Finds Striking Counterpart in Recent
 World Triumphs.

Napoleon knew well the value of a victory. After Austerlitz the world seemed his. Tame invited, fortune favored, everything stimulated his aspiring ambition. With growing power he gathered the fruits of victory. And so has it been. Success succeeds. A notable illustration of this truth is furnished by the great victories won at the Worlds Fair in '93 and the Califor- mia Mid Winter Fair in '94 by Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder. Ever increasing sales and popularity have been the result. The people have promptly ratified the official verdicts that declared Dr Price's for leavening power, keeping qualities, purity and general excellence the foremost bak- ing powder in all the world" Quite as quickly as the great Emperor do they know the value of victory that means worldwide supremacy.

Handbook of the Tariff.

The understanding of sbe complicated provisions of the new tariff has been greatly simplified by the issuance of this manual. To digest the tariff law is no easy task, but to digest the food taken into the gastric receptacle is rendered easy by the use of that thorough stoInachic, HosSetter's Sto- mach Bitters. It preye1ts aad cures malarial, kidney and rheumatic troub- le, remedies nervousness and in- somnia, and removes consti patton and billousness. Appetite, as well as the ability to satisfy it without subsequent abdominal disturbance, is restored by this fine stomachic, which also ac- celeratts convalescence. Persons in the decline of life, and the infirm ol every age and sex, find it of material assistance.

Government Aid.

As result of the efficient work of our delegate in Congress, Hon. Marcus A. Smith, the United States govern ment will take steps to build reser- voir near Florence. The following from the Citizen is self-explanatory:
 "one of the most important an nouncements that has ever been made in the interest of irrigation in Arizo- na is the statement from the Inte- rier Department at Washington that bids will be received until the 9th of November next for sinking wells and shafts at the Buttes on the Gila river, about ten miles above Florence, to ascertain the depth to bed rock, with view to building dam at that point to store the waters of the Giia river, for irrigating purposes. It is claimed that dam properly construct ed at this point will store water twenty miles, in an immense rock gorge on the Gila river, that will afford water sufficient to irrigate the land on one side of the river to Mesa City, and on the other all the Casa Grande country to Maricopa, embracing six or seven hundred thousand acres in extent"

 The alfalfa crop in the Salt River valley in two or three years of plenty of water, would bring more money into Arizona than all the silver ever mined in the territory, but we have voted to exclude capital and the development of our water resources. We have voted to continue fossils and to send a fossil to congress- Phoenix Herald
 Notice the inconsistency of the above statement After telling what might occur with ''plenty of water and good society,"" the only two elements of happiness lacking in hell, the obtuse emblem of antiquity makes the absurd statement that two or three crops of alfalfa would bring more money than ell the silver ever mined in Arizona.
 With silver at its present low ebb it would require but three years for the output in Arizona to equal the asses sed valuation of Maricopa county. Three millions year is now mined in Arizona. The Silver King mine has produced more silver than the value of all the alfalfa ever grown in the Vest ern Hemisphere. The same might be said of the Vekol, which silver mine made John D. Walker millionaire and at the anne time furnished the means of supporting an entire tribe of Indians.
 Tombstone, with it's many mines, now silent, has produced silver enough to buy all the alfalfa that could be stacked in the territory of Arizona.
 It is just such ridiculous, sour grapes statements as the one above quoted that has convinced the east that Arizo- na is not capable of self-governmeht. Arizona is considered the land of the coyote, rattlesnalze, tarant ula and Apache, where freaks edit the news papers, and thieves, unchallengel, are elected or appointed to high office. Until the standard of honesty is raised little and the reigon of the land ceases to be the worship of the almigh- ty dollar, Arizona will remain a terri tory, field into which will be sent the discarded politicians of the east to rule over us.

ID some portions of Germany, the kirmess, or church mass, formerly danced in honor of the dedication of church, Is now observed with the spe- cial character of harvest home. It marks the close of the years labors, and is celebrated by three days of music, feasting and dancing with part ners chosen or allotted, according to degrees of comeliness, at the Preeed- ing May festival.
 In southern Germany, the end of the harvest is marked by the sickle feast. The last sheaf is carried in triumph to the barn, and placed on the floor, while the younger couples dance around 1t. One-half of it is then decked with rib bons, and hung aloft while the other half is burned. Its ashes are treas ured as a remedy for rheumatism, and are sometimes used in making amulets or charms. The peasants leave for Wodan, or "the old one," few ears ot corn, and a small number of apples, it being considered unlucky to strip either field or tree entirely bare.-Lfp- pincott's.
