CALL FOR STATETROOPS.
Wilmer Explains How
The Militia Would Enter The Serv-
ice of the United States.

The Militia Would Enter The Serv-
ice of the United States.
Adjutant-General L. L.AllisonWilmer,
in speaking last night of the services
the State troops will be called on to
perform in case of war, said:
From the most reliable informa-
tion we can obtain the Governors of
States will be called upon to furnish
certain number of National Guard
organizations in the frst4insta ance in
Ease of war. While the officerS ana
men of such organizations will have to
volunteer, the State organizations will
not be disturbed For instance, if a
NJ acknowledgement should berequired
its officers and men will enter the SER
vice as such regiment, with q change
of destination, for the time, to indicate
that it is in the service of the United
States.
The recent orders for the retire
ment of officers and discharge of men
physically unable to perform active
military duty in the field are abso-
lutely necessary, for if such officers
and men were offered they would not
be accepted by the United States gov
ernment. 1t would not be fair, either,
to those affected by these orders or to
the service that they should be re-
tanned in any event.
1.-The very best officers possible will
be selected to fill vacancies, without
regard to present rank. We do not
wish war, but if war must come we
have no doubt the Maryland National
Guard and the Maryland volunteers
will give good account of themselves
wheresoever they may be, and it is
not necessary to attempt to create any
fictitious enthusiasm OF, to indulge in
any violent declamations about pa
trlotism in advance. We are going at
this thing in quiet, calm, determin-
ed way from stern sense of duty.
We may not have to go at all, and we
may have to go no further than the
rendezvous, but we do not propose to
place any limitatians upon our move
ments when once we have responded
to the call for duty. This is the po-
sition of the Maryland troops, as l
understand it."
The Adjutant-General forwarded to
the bureau of navigation of the Navy
Department last night the detail of
officers and crew from the First Naval
Battalion selected by Commander
Emerson for duty on the United
States steamer Dixie.

To be without II bicycle or sewing
machine to-day is to be willfully de
prived of the greatest inventions of
the age. Bicycle riding is acknowl-
edged by all physicians to be the
most pleasant and healthful exercise
INDUCED in. A bicycle demands no
wages - occasions no expense or
trouble-and is always ready without
a moments notice to render the ser
vice required it. A sewing machine
once bought is a perpetual treasure
rendering the work of the laborious
housewife tenfold more efficient and
expeditions.
In the matter of bicycles and sewing
machines we call your particular at
tention to the advertisements of the
Victor Manufacturing Co., Chicago,
Ill, appearing elsewhere in this issue.
The concern is thoroughly response
bic and reliable as can be ascertained
by consulting any of the commercial
guides Notice their attractive ads.

ITO the President:
"TheMarylandRepublican Editorial

surance of it's cordial commendation

of Spain. The association also de-
sires to thank you for the wisdom,
moderation and dignified self-restraint
with which you have upheld the best

which you have patriotically striven

THE JINGO.

Never mind his lingo,
He's nothing but a jingo-
The only news he's got
Is some miserable rot
From some lying yellow sheet,
And like parrot he'll repeat
His fakes and lies ofto-dav
Which tomorrow he'll explain away.
He is for war-red hot,
Butts yellow streak he's got
At the first sound of a gun
The jingo will up and run
And leave the quiet men to fight
The ejingo blatherskite
IT'S the same old story so often told
OF the lOud-mouth soldier bold
Who fights with his mouth-tights in the
rear
'Tis the jingo soldier We have most to
fear. X,

Onlast Friday evening, the 18th inst,
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. a. Michael gave a
reception to large crowd of invited
guests at their home in honor of their
18th wedding anniversary, which was
one of the most pleasant evenings we
have spent i'll many years. NosOoner
had the great orb of day sunk peace
fully to rest behind the western hills
than the guests began to arrive, al
though at intervals the rain came
pattering down, yet none seemed in
clined to forfeit an evenings pleasure
because of the inclemency of the
weather.
Many of the presents to the happy
couple were rare and costly.
After the evening had been we'll
spent in various games and amuse-
ments interspersed with music we
were invited by the kind and con-
genial host and hostess to repair to
the dining room where amid the daZ-
zling lights, the pretty girls, and the
oountiful repast of good things spread
before us, we felt as though we were
indeed in fairy land. Not until the
clock began to chime out the wee
small hours of morning did the guests
begin to take their departure, joining
one and all in wishing the happy
couple and their interesting family
pleasant, peaceful and prosperous
voyage on the stream of life.

WIS., and Wilkesbarre, Penn. At the annual meet
ing held in NowYOrk January %. all these tracks
were represented. and all steps taken were unani-
,mousy Endorsed As this association is formed OF

by the y. G. 7. A. to so conduct It's affairs that
not only will the business be profitable but that
