Company Il On Top.

The announcement made Monday
that the president had decided to issue
call for another 100000 in three weeks,
has started Gov. Mounts troubles
afresh. kilograms began coming in by
the basketload before noon and delega-
tions began calling at the state house,
urging the claims of their respective
cities. 1t is safe proposition that
under the next call Indiana will get
three regiments of infantry and one of
cavalry, and that the towns which will
be selected to furnish these companies
will be: Muncle, Lebanon, Rockport,
Sullivan. Boonville, Jasper. Danville,
Greenfield, Brookville, Indianapolis,
Alexandria, Elwood, Portland, Fowler,
Rensselaer,, Crown Point, Valparaiso,
Laporte, Peru, Versailles, Corydon,
Salem, Cannelton, Elkhart, plymouth,
Goshen, Auburn, Attica. Browntown,
Noblesville, Hartford City, Liberty,
Bloomfield, and Washington.
The remaining twelve companies will
come from smaller towns, most OF them
in the southeast sections. 1t is difficult
to predict who will be selected to the
Office of colonel. Vic Backus of In
dianapOlis is likely to be one of the first
chosen. He has been very persistent in
his efforts, and has been instrumental
in the state meeting the call for troops
promptly. The principals in the fight
which has just been ended by the ap-
pointment of Durbin, were Ex-Gov-
Matthews, Lieut.. Thomas Defrees,
Capt. w. w. Daugherty, j. Frank
Hanley, Charles Griffin of Hammond,
Thomas w. Harper, of Terre Haute,
and Frank b. Posey of Evansville
They may press their claims now for
second consideration. 1t Is likely, how
ever, that Gov. Mount will select man
who is not making an effort.

Three hundred years have passed
since the Great Teacher taught the
lowly multitude on the shores of Gal
lice. Jesus had prophesied the rise of
Christianity by comparing it 20 mus
tard seed, which, upon being cast into
the ground, grew into a mighty tree.
Since that time the wicked world has
struggled hard to crush that small seed !;
but even the proud emperors had failed
to accomplish their purpose. Little
did they think that Christianity had on
its side the One All-Powerful. with
whom all the world united might con-
tend, but with no avail.
Because the growth of Christianity
was so gradual. many doubted its
power; but, could the voice of the poet
have pierced those remote ages, he
would have reminded them that
Though the mills of God grind slowly,
Yet they grind exceeding small"

Man, in his restlessness, wandered
back from the far Orient and for the
second time built an empire in Rome,
but guided by the church authorities.
Here the pope crowned Charlemagne
emperor of the West But with his
death came the Dark Age, attended by
the Feudal System and Chivalry, termi-

lessons, resulting in the signing of

Here in this nook, Thebes was at its

"Oh! lonely tomb in Moab's land.

1t was during this era that National
Freedom was brought forth and given
an eternal impetus by the brave and
liberty loving SONS of Hellas.
The mighty pendulum of invasion
thrice swung from the powerful Orient
to crush the life from the rising Greeks,
but was as often shattered midway:
until the brave Hellenes themselves
arose, swept across Asia with mighty
stride. and blotted Persian power from
the face of the earth.
All obstacles in this line having been
overcome, their energies were turned
to art, and their products in this line
have never been surpassed nor even

New Haven, Ct, Oct. 27.-With only
one day Of practice for few of the

encouraging.

in New York over night The practice
this afternoon was somewhat of an

FOR THE BEST MAN.
Must Win Shield This Year
Or Possibly Lose 1t.

Captain William H. Moran of the
high school track team has commenced
at this early time to make arrange
ments for the training of his indoor
team. Captain Moran has done con
siderable work in trying to obtain a
suitable place for the team to do their
indoor training. He had several places
in view, and expects to make final de-
cision the first of next week.
The most important question that
falls to the lot of the captain to decide
and one that is causing considerable
discussion at the high school. is the Sc
lection of a trainer for the team 1t is
obvious to those interested that toe
much Importance cannot be placed up
on the selection of a, proper man to
coach the young athletes. Three
schools, one of which is the Worcester
high, are now tie for the handsome
shield, given by the Boston Athletic
Association, and to obtain permanent
ownership, the high school must win
this year.
With the exception of last spring, the
high school team have depended upon
the alumni of the school and the many
amateur athletes of this year for their
team made a departure from their Gus
tom, and. secured the services of a
professional trainer and many stu
dents are open in their criticism of the
change. Friends of this years cap
tain say that he is determined to secure
the best available man, whether he is
professional or not.
Among the men mentioned for the
position this year are Charles H. Kill
mai ri II rtif,
laney, Thomas Holland and Frank
Bigelow. Three Of these men are pro
fessionals, and the other two are am
ateurs. All are trainers of experience
and each man has a host of followers
in the city
Charles Fitzpatrick had charge of the
team last spring and under his charge
the team finished in second place at
the outdoor interscholastics 1t is
claimed by his friends that he could do
better work this year as he knows the
men and their style. Kenny and Hol-
land are well known among the temper
ance societies, Holland being a member
of the st. Pauls, where he has assisted
in the training of their track team
Kenny is a member of the St. Annes

sented the society at the diocesan
games, and won the championship

low understands every branch of ath-
lletics, and as he will stay in Worces-

team, and a better selection could not
be made.

of field men. AS this is a point where
the high school has always been weak
many high school boys are anxious to
have him undertake the development
of field men and secure some one of the
other candidates to take charge of the
track men. Such an arrangement, il
lit is made, ought to result in the de-
velopment of a team that should stand
good chance at the school boy games
Captain Moran's decision, which is to
be made soons is eagerly awaited by
the high school boys.

PERKINS
Arrives From
Porto Rico.
A WORCESTER BOY
Of the Sixth Home Ahead
Of His Comrades.

In the lot of soldier boys who came
back to Massachusetts yesterday with
the gallant 9Th regiment, there was one
company which has had a particularly
prominent history-Company l. of Bos-
ton.
Worcester has contributed a delega-
ton to this company, which enjoys the
honor OF being the only colored SOL
diery in the state. When the war was
precipitated, through the act of Span
iards in Havana harbor the colored
boys in Boston We're the first to make
known their desire to fight for Uncle
Sam. They were mustered into the
service, and have returned with the
rest of the regiment to receive the
laurels which the state has to confer.
Worcester is particularly interested
in the colored boys. for none the less
reason than that while they We're in
camp at Tampa, Capt. Williams was
taken suddenly and seriously ill, and it
cester boy. Hubert Jackson, to direct
the movement of the men, as acting
captain. Acting Capt. Jackson took
the position when the boys broke camp
at Tampa to sail for Santiago, and he
returned at the head of the line when
the boys landed at the wharf in South
Boston.
The arrival of the regiment In Bos-
ton was therefore heralded with a de-
gree of enthusiasm which was nearly
equal to that which was given the re-
turning soldiers of dear old Worcester
itself, and each train from Boston was
watched with interest by many friends.
Only one of them Priv. Mark Perkins,
came home, and when he stepped from
the train which arrived at Union de-
pot at 1.05 O'Clock, a delegation of
friends was there to receive him. Priv.
Perkins was formerly employed in The
Spy's mailing room, and he returns the
very picture of health.
Perkins came up on a furlough of so
days, and he Will visit several friends
in the city during that time. His Wor-
| cester comrades who are now in Bos-
ton are to come to Worcester this af-
ternoon, and when the boys are all to-
gether, there will be a celebration in
their honor among the colored resi-
dents of the city. Besides Perkins. the
Worcester boys are Hubert Jackson,
James Jordan, Jr.. William Pate, Harry
W. Tolson and Edward Dewey.
While the boys have been away from
Worcester they have not lost great
deal in the line of health, and true it is,
they claim, the change has done them
good. They return looking much bet
ter even than when they left Camp
Dewey in birmingham, and have no
fault to find with the treatment they
received.
Concerning the recent troubles of the
9Th. Perkins said that all the boys
idoilzed the work of Col. Rice; they
wished that he was their first and only
colonel, and they would never serve
again under the leadership of their old
commander, Col. c. F. Woodward
The soldiers brought home with them
large numbers Of things in the souvenir
line, and they also have many inter-
esting stories Of their life in Cuba and
the war in general. The principal mas
cot of the Worcester combination was
a dog which William Pate brought
with him from Porto Rico.

GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP.
Havard's Team Wins From Representa-
tivss of Yale.

New York. Oct. 27.-Harv ara team
Of golfers won the Intercollegiate cham
pionship from the representatives of
Yale, at the Ardsley Golf Clubs links,
this afternoon, by a score of 16 to A.
These teams. having beaten their oppo-
nents from Princeton and Columbia in
the opening days play, met this morn
ing for the final round, but when that
was finished both sides were equal,
with scores of II each. There was some
discussion as to how the tie should be
played off.
Harvard claimed that both sides
should go over the entire course of 1S
holes again, while Yale maintained
that they ought to play only one hole
in order to decide the championship.
Finally it was agreed to let the scores
made in the medal play round for the
individual championship to be played
later in the day. decide the relative
merits of the teams. In the first part
of the morning round Yale bad decided.

~ the better of the game, as Barnes
and Reid had beaten Choate and Clark,
but this lead was soon reversed, when
Hubbard of Harvard came in nine
holes up on Hinkle and Averill had two
up on Havemeyer.
The next pair We're w. B. Smith of
Yale and Curtis of Harvard, with the
FORMER one up over the present holder
OF the individual collegiate honors.
Then came Robertson and Cutting, and
on those two was centered the gaze of
the rest of the golfers and the specta-
tors when they reached the 18th put
ting green. Robertson was then three
up, and if he won the last hole Yale
would have the championship by IL to
IL, but the Yale man missed short put
Of about Is inches, and the hole was
halved in seven.
Twenty-four players started in the
medal play round for the individual
championship in the afternoon, but only
IL of them turned in cards, and of these
eight qualified for the first and semi
final rounds at match play tomorrow
with scores of 81 and under. Cornelius
Fellows. Jr., of Columbia headed the
list, with SO strokes, and j. Stuart Of
Princeton came next, with ST. Murphy
of Princeton and Reid of Yale had SS

and the other three-Cutting and

Columbia--had 81 each. These eight
will play tomorrow in the first and
semi-final rounds at Is holes match
play, and the two survivors will decide
the individual championship on Sat
urday by playing twice over the 49,

tomorrow games resulted as follows:
