Gen. Miles is of the opinion that 100, 600
men could be transported to any point on
the gulf or Atlantic coast in the South
within forty-eight hours. The fact that
this can be done was demonstrated by
the feat performed by the railroads during
the recent big celebration in Washington,
when 100000 men were brought into the
city and taken out again inside Of twenty
four hours.

Bicycle Talk

A largely attended meeting. marked
by intense enthusiasm, was held at the
Lobeell Cycling Club last evening.
The Club has made considerable pro-
gress toward the coming race meet on
Decoration Day, and arrangements are
being completed for what promises to
be the greatest meet ever held in south
eastern Ohio. The program is to be
materially changed for the coming
event, past experience proving that
Marietta people want fast time rather
than sharp hot sprint in the last ten
yards. Pacing of the finest kind has
been arranged for and it is confidently
expected that every existing record
will be broken. a tandem race will
probably be feature. The Club will
hold another special meeting tonight
to finish few matters postpor ed from
last nights meeting.
The loss to the Club by the recent
flood was most severe. Nearly every
thing was under water, including the
handsome pool and billiard tables fur
niture, gymnastic apparatus, etc. Lit
tie or nothing was saved. Things, how
ever, have now assumed their usual
appearance. and there is nothing to in
dicate that the food had been such an
unwelcome visitor.

PECULIAR CHICAGO HABIT.
A Great Many Citinens Always Go TO
the Left In Entering or Leav-
ing Buildings.

Chicago enjoys the exceptional dis
tinction of being the only left-handec
city in the union. That is, the good peo-
pie of this bustling metropolis violate
all the rules of the road" so far as the
matter of keeping to the right is con-
cerned when entering or leaving public
buildings. If man, for instance, ap'
proaches a building where the entrance
consists of two swinging doors, he will
invariably reach out with his left hand,
pull open the left-hand door and make
a wild dash to get outside, running the
risk of collision with anybody who re-
members that to go to the right is the
first law of navigation on land, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
The habit of doing things the wrong
way has taken such firm hold on the
people that the man who uses the left
hand door and is run into glares in
amazement at the Offender utterly
ob!ivious of the fact that he himself is
the one who should be blamed. 1t
makes no difference that there are two
doors of equal width, one for entrance
and one for exit. He, if going in, will
seize on the exit door and reverse the
proceeding if coming out. Half an
hours observation anywhere IN the
business district will demonstrate the
truth of this assertion.

THE GOD OF WAR.

Mr.. EDITOR:
The god of war speaks more loudly
than the god of peace.
The god of Peace loves the quiet dell
where the violet grows and the fields
which the husbandman has made 10
bloom by the sweat of his brow; the
workshops whence toiling humanity
sends forth the comforts of peaceful
life, its luxuries and enioyments; peace
enriches, while war destroys and i'm.
poverishes. The god of peace appeals
to the dormant, kindlier feelings of the
human heart, while the god of war ap-
peals to its passions, hatred, revenge
and ferocity; yet strange to say, these
passions when once in play, bring into
their train the finest traits of human ma
ture-the forgetfulness of self, patriot
ism and heroism, at the cost of life.
The minority, and one of them.
prefers to worship at the shrine of the
god of peace; but should the majority
decide to give full sway to Mars, the
god of war, the minority would be
found marching in one phalanx with
the majority; for then it will become a
matter of honor to present but one
solid front, and that to the enemy till
he be at our mercy.
But history will mark this war as a
new departure, new epoch in our Ma
tional life. Heretofore we have fought
for our freedom and our rights-and
even acquisition; but now we are 60
ing to fight for a sentiment-to give
freedom and independence to our
neighbor.
/ cannot for a moment conceive that
this nation would fight for revenge.
And revenge for what? A crime
committed undoubtedly and to my be.
lief, through the agency of Gen. Wey.
Ter, whose purposes would be bes,
served by such a catastrophe. He
values human life as naught if opposed
to his am bitiop. he has been thorn
in the side of the present Spanish gov,
ernme1t ever since his recall, and has
been plotting to bring about revolu.
tion. He has adherents in Havana as
vile as himself, and he is the only one
who could be possibly benefited Oy the
commission of this dastardly crime.
Well might General Blanco weer
when he heard of the blowing up Of
the Maine! For he fully realized the
misfortune It was to his country,
whose government would never be
guilty of crime, the commission OF
which would imperil it's national life
it's very existence.
With the present National feeling of
the great ms jority, nothing am afraid

THOSE RESOLUTIONS.

When the Senate resolutions adopted
Saturday night came before the House
of Representatives on Monday they
were promptly amended by striking
out the portion recognizing tie inde-
pendence of Cuba and were then passed
by a vote of 1T9 to 1856. The Senate re-
fused to concur in the amendments
and conference of the two houses
will be necessary. The general opin'
ion is that the Senate is the real
stumbling block to immediate action,
and by it's attempt to usurp the powers
of the President is in effect delaying
and endangering the freedom of Cuba
instead of making it more certain.

TEETH OF SOLDIERS.
The Kaiser Is Going TO Have Those
of His Troopers Put In
Good Order.

Toothache has been lately greet
source of annoyance to the kaiser. Not
that the imperial molars are, so far as
l know, threatened with premature de-
cay. Were this the case, nobody would
risk the penalties of lese majesty by
openly asserting it. The case is, how
ever, from a public point of view, far
more serious. 1t appears that the entire
German army suffers from dental
troubles to such an extent that it has
been found difficult TO find pon-com-
missioned officers capable of giving the
word of command. When they attempt
to utter familiar formula the Ten
toni" "Stand at easel" shoulder
arms!" and 80 forth, mere confused and
inarticulate sounds issue from their
toothless gums. Things are bad enough
on the parade ground, but what would
happen on battlefield one hardly ven
lures to conjecture. Worse still, the
boys in the training school for mon
CONS" seem to be in no better plight
than their elders. Nearly all of them,
after inspection, seemed to have one Oh
more hopeless tusks, while large pro-
portion can only be rendered fit for
service by strict submission to the den
lists orders, and many are beyond the
reach of art. His majesty has resolved
to spend at once 1900 marks on stop
ping the teeth of his Christian warriors
or in providing them with false SETS
This applies only to the Prussian con-
tingent. Several of the subject states
have not made up their minds to incur
the expense.

REVIVAL MEETING.
By the Passlonist Fathers at the
 Catholic Church.


 The notice in the GRAPHIC about the origin and work of the religious order called the Passion or Congre- gation of the Passion of Jesus Christ excited some attention and there was more or less anxiety to see the representative of this famous order. The two priests, Fathers Erasmus and Norbert, who are engaged in missionary work, arrived on Satur- day and opened the mission at St. Joseph's church on Sunday. The church was well filled. The choir had prepared special music and after the high mass had been celebrated by the pastor, Father Lucey, Father Norbet began discourse which con tinued one hour and held the closest attention of the auditors. The sub- ject was naturally explanatory of the object and methods of the mis- sion, but also exhortation on the duties of a christian.
 a1 *OO Ps A11s I Oll1Cl 4NOi OEI SdN6 a lengthy and interesting address on the valEe of an immortal soul. Father Norbert is an eloquent man and dramatic in delivery. No mat ter what church one may be mem- Der of. discourses of this kind will strike a responsive chord and arouse true christian feeling.
 The church has been we'll filled in spite of inclement weather. Every day during the week the exercises will continue the same as yesterday. First mass is at o'clock, second mass at 3 o'clock a. m., instruction for children at D. m., and special sermon at 7:30. The public is well come at all these services.
