hours, during which time she was
surrounded by swarms of natives, in

Eagle, who commanded the transport,
was compelled to throw overheard a

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.
One Will BE Issued In q Few Days-Ten
or Twelve Regiments Needed
by Gen. Otis.

CHICAGO, June GA special dispatch
from Washington says:
President Mckinley has decided to
call for volunteers for service in the
Philippines. 1t has been determined
to form at least nine regiments, and
possibly IL.
For the present the president deems
nine or ten regiments enough and it is
understood this number is based on the
representations made by Gen. Otis,
who is said to have recently amended
his estimate of the force he will need
in maintaining peace in the islands.
There are now $1,000 regulars in the
Philippines and there will shortly be
reinforcement of at least 1000.
This furnishes Gen. Otis with the
army he desired in the earlier esti-
mates from Manila. Lately, however,
he has had occasion to revise these fig
ures, and under the influences of the
more LIBERAL estimates of Gen. Lawton
and other advisers he has informed the
Washington officials that the presence
of $4,000 or Is, 900 volunteers to supple
ment the force of regulars will be a
safeguard.
Actual enlistment for the new volun-
teer regiments will be under the army
| officers and the records will be similar
| to those which attended the recruiting
| of volunteers at the outbreak
| of the late war. 1t is
probable the company strength
| will be maximum, and this would
give for nine regiments a volunteer
force of at least $4,000. The call for
troops will be issued as soon as the
necessary arrangements for recruiting
| system can be made.

FREELAND, PA, OCTOBER 80, 1s9!
The Value of Publicity.

John Wanamaker's recent contract to
pay the Philadelphia Record 100000 for
a page advertisement every day in the
year is itself of the best sort of advertis-
ing. This great contract is the subject
OF universal comment and remark, but
it is only a small part of the newspaper
advertising done by this house. In
New York the advertising bills of
Wanamaker are as high as in Philadel-
pha. He is therefore taking up the
business of the first American merchant
prince, A. 7. Stewart, where the latter
left off. One of the chief causes of Mr..
Stewards success was his liberal adver-
tsing and he was the pioneer in this
branch of merchandising in this coun-
try.
When Judge Hilton took control Of
the Stewart store he stopped advertis-
ing in the newspapers, believing that
the name OF the house was so well and
favorably known that it was unneces-
sary to call daily attention to it. A few
years of this sort of business manage
ment was enough to destroy the prop
erty and it was eventually sold under
the hammer to John Wanamaker.
Mr.. Wanamaker had not taken pos
session of the new business before he
began advertising it freely in the New
York papers. And he has kept adyer-
tising daily ever since. The result is
that despite the dscouraging prophe-
cies of many of Mr.. Wanamaker's
friends his store in New York is doing a
larger business than his store in Phila-
delphia and much larger business
than it ever did under the management
of Stewart. The street car conductors
have orders to stop their cars and an
nounce Wanamaker's. This single
establishment has restored retail bust
ness to the locality where it formerly
flourished.
Mr.. Wanamaker is the best judge of
the causes of his phenomenal success
and he attributes it to constant atten-
tion to details and to advertising. In
this age of publicity to attempt to
build up commercial success without
regular advertising is to be handicapped
by deliberate neglect of the most i'm
portant single factor in creating trade.
1t is such contracts as Wanamaker has
made with the Philadelphia Record that
enable him to continue to do a colossal
business.
