all its stages and that is catarrh. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being constitutional disease, requires con-
stittional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, acting directly upon the

Warm Times in St. Adams.

The Rev. DR.. Russell, who comes to the
Methodist church next Friday, evening to
organize in Bellows Falls branch of the
Anti-Saloon League, was in St. Adams
last week, and succeeded in creating con-
siderable excitement. The St. Adams
Messenger of last Saturday said:
An interesting fight is now on between
the hotel Keepers and liquor dealers of this
city and those who are DESTROYS of seeing
the prohibitory law enforced. The latter
party is under the leadership of several
local clergymen and temperance advocates.
The warfare promises to be bitter enc
and it is question as to which party will
be the winner.
The following is the text of a petition
that has been circulated this week among
the business men and others for their sig
natures, and which has been signed by a
large number-merchants ,grocers, bankers.
lawyers, doctors and others:
"We, the subscribers, business men and
citizens of the city of St. Adams, hereby
petition and request the states attorney to
fully ard permanently enforce the law of
the state of Vermont against gambl ng
houses of prostitution, and the sale OF all
Intoxicating liquors in this city for bever-
age purposes"
With all these efforts directed against
them the hotel keepers and liquor dealers
do not intend to remain inactive. They
are making strong defensive fight. A
meeting was held yesterday to lay plans for
their campaign. Every hotel keeper in
St. Adams was represented, and the unani-
nous decision was to close the hotels if the
prohibitory law is enforced.
81 will positively close my house," said
leading hotel owner to a Messenger re-
porter this morning, ''if l am prevented
from furnishing liquor to my guests. My
house is for sale at figure less than its
cost. Let some Of these temperance mer
buy the property and run it at profit if they
can"
This afternoon it has developed that the
hotel men sre inaugarating a boycott,
against the merchants who signed the peti.
ton. As the petition has large number
of signers the boycott will include a ma.
jority of the merchants.
| A merchant who signed the petition said
this afternoon that one of the hotel men no.
titled him last evening that in signing the
petition he had virtually signed his death
warrant so far as their trade is concerned
Today the other hotel keepers and liquor
dealers have visited him, settled their &C
counts, and given notice that their trade
will 60 elsewhere.

The American School at Rome has recently
made valuable contribution to the study of
classical art by having executed the first casts
ever made from the splendid monument of
antiquity, Trajan's Triumphal Arch at Bene-
vento. An article, reproducing some of the
fine photographs of these subjects, has been
written by Professor Frothing ham of Prince
ton, and will appear in the October Century.
Now that the war is over comes the all
important question of deciding what we are
to do with the conquered territory. On this
question of colonial expansion the Hon. John
G. Carlisle, ex-secretary of the treasury, con-
tributes a very conservative article to the
October Harper's.
The article in the October Scribner's on
the Battle of San JUAN" by Richard Hard
ing Davis, is not only a vivid description Of
that famous victory but complete and care
full analysis of the conduct of the whole San
tiago campaign.

LIST, is to begin new serial story, translated

any company or regiment of the oN
ganized militia shall enlist in the vol
unteer army in a body, as such COM
pany or regiment, the regimental and
company officers in service with the
militia organization thus enlisting may
be appointed by the president, subject
to an examination as to fitness and ca
pacity, to be officers of corresponding
grades in the same organization when
it is received in the service as part OF
the volunteer army.
The troops, in time of war, whether
belonging to the regular or volunteer
army or to the militia. are to be organ
lied into divisions of three brigades,
each brigade to be composed OF three
or more regiments, and when three ar
more divisions are assembled in the
same army the president is to organize
them into army corps, each corpa to
consist of not more than three divi-
sions- The president is to appoint in
the volunteer army not exceeding one
major-general for each organized army
corps and division and one brlgadier-
general for each brigade, to be Sc
lected from the regular or volunteer
army or the militia.

territorial governors, will come from
within state military ranks.
In the house committee on militia a
plan to effectually put a large number
of the militia at the disposal of the
president is being formulated. Some
think 100000 excessive, but Chairman
Marsh and others regard the figure as
conservative, in the view that the reso-
lutiOns evidently mean war. The pres
ident, as now suggested by Representa-
tive Marsh, can call out the militia at
any time and congress can follow up the
executive action by legislative enact
ment providing for their muster
ing into the United States service.
At the same time, the army reorgan-
ization bill recently recommitted by
the house, is being carefully pruned in
the military affairs committee to meet
objections. 1t is proposed to extend
the army organization to the three
battalion war formation, and to in
crease the batteries of artillery to 200
men each. This measure, it is claimed,
may bring about 5000 more men into
the regular service to be added to the
present 81, 900 regular troops.

Plans Being Formulated in Congress
Tor Calling Out Two Hundred
Thousand Soldiers.
@GULARS, VOLUNTEERS. AND MILITIA.
= BAl Being Drawn Up on the Presumption
That the Passage of the Cuban ResoIu-
tlons Means War and Win Necessitate
the Rapid Concentration OF a Large
Body of Men.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Plans now
being formulated in congress involve
the placing of about 200, 900 soldiers, in
round numbers, at the disposal of the
government within a very short time
after the Cuban resolutions are ap-
proved by the president. This calcula-
ton is based on the following figures,
covered in plans already IN effect, or in
contemplation, viz.
Standing army, 27.OOO; by call for
volunteers, 6O,OOO; by calling out state
militia, 75. 600 or 100. 600; by army reor-
ganization bill, ), 900. Leaving aside the
present regular army force, the second
and fourth items are practically settled
on in committee, while the third, as to
state militia, is being actively can
yassed, and while there are differing
views they are expected to crystalline
into an authorization to call out the
numbers stated.
The bill drawn up by the war de-
partment for introduction by Repre-
sentative Hull, chairman of the mill
tary committee, authorizes the presi-
dent to call for something like &C, 900
volunteers, to be drawn through the
various states. While this method
Obviates the legal technicalities in
volved in the services of state militia
organizations, it is likely the volun-
teers thus obtained, through quotas
furnished by the respective state and
