A GIGANTIC UNDERTAKING.

Not in the present century has
anything of greater Importance or
magnitude been undertaken than
the visitation Of every house of
great city in one day. This has
recently been done in Philadelphia.
The work was planned and super
intended by Mr. Hugh Cork and it
required two months of his time to
make the preliminary arrangements.
On the day Of visitation, which was
Washington's birthday, nearly 10,
600 visitors started out, taking a
census of the city in the interest of
Sunday-school work. Every church
IN the city was interested. The
church preferences of the people
was determined and those who did
not attend any church regularly
were invited to attend the church Of
their own choice. The visitation
Of a million and a quarter Of people
BY voluntary service in one day is
an undertaking Of gigantic proper
tons.
Systematic inter UNCONVENTIONAL
house visitation is one Of the
agencies of the International Sun
de- school Convention, to which
our own State organization is auxil-
iary This is the agency that gives
Us our Uniform Lesson System and
nearly all The Improvements in
sunday-scbooi work and manage
ment which has come into promi-
hence in Che last forty years.

Dear Father.
received the letter you wrote
me the third of October on the 25rd
of January, and was glad to hear
from home. You say for me to
write often but that is impossible.
You know what il is in the field /;
no paper, no stamps, no money and
just no nothing. You sent me the
address of Hugh and Ben write to
them and tell them to write to me,
as they are now at stations and have
better opportunity to write, and
tell Ben he does not want to trans
fer to the Third Cavalry to get to
the Philippines. | will give you a
sketch of our movement on this
campaign
We landed at Manila on the goth
OF September and on the 9th day of
October we loaded on the cars for
Arrat, about IS miles from Manila,
we were ordered with Gen. Young's
command to Santo Banico. Then
we came in contact with the niggers
and drove them from their trenches
and the next day we marched to
Santo y Ebina, where they had
heavy intrenchments. Our regi-
ment (the Srd Cavalry, a battery,
the and Infantry and two companies
of engineers were four hours taking
the works, but drove them out. Our
regiment was ordered to follow
them and we moved ahead after
them to BAHAMA Bong and had a
running fight for three hours. The
next day we moved on Benoboun
about 10 miles, and captured every
thing in the town, a large quantity
of Spanish money, II Mauser rifles,
$50 Remington rifles and their
telegraph instrume ITS.
We have had more or less fight
ing and marching every day since,
but the hardest time we had was in
crossing the Luzon Mountains. All
we had to eat for IS days was water,
buffalo meat and rice that we took
from the niggers.
Tell Brown to send me THE
ARGUS and if we ever get any pay,
will send him the money, aud send
me my discharge, as cannot draw
my extra pay for service in the
Spanish American war without it.
We have had good many men
in the regiment killed and wounded
since it started on the campaign.

green houses 2oxro, with propagat-
Ing houses adjoining, have been
built, and number of cold frames

STATION PORTERS.

The uniformed porters who were
placed in the service by the Balti-

Washington City depot on the first

venience to the travelling public.
There are six Of them and they are
known as "Station Porters." They
meet all trains and their duties are
to assist passengers in carrying their
baggage TO the waiting room or
carriages. They are instructed to
pay special attention to elderly
people, ladies and children and to
assist them in every possible manner.
They are not allowed 70 request
remuneration from passengers for
their services. The men have been
drilled in poliieness and have
passed examination as TO their

The above is fairly good picture
OF an old Preston county boy, who
has succeeded in life, as most of
our boys do. Mr.. Orr is brother
of Major U. N. Orr, of Kingwood,
and late Mayor of the town. He
lives in Palatine, or the First Ward
Of Greater Fairmont, as it is now
called. He located there in 1864,
and by perseverance and industry,
has acquired considerable property
and also the good opinion of his
friends and neighbors, as evinced by
their selection of him for the highest
office in the gift of the city, as the
nominee of his party. The cleo
ton comes off Saturday of this
week, March 18th.

The Republicans have discovered
that expansion is not quite so nice
as they expected. 1t now seems
that Europe is pressing for the
open door in the Philippines in re.
turn for Mr.. Hays much lauded
achievements in China. But the
open door in the Philippines means
free trade with the United States
via Manila, if the Philippines are
held to be part Of this country
and TO be therefore entitled TO free
trade with it. SO the Republicans

The bill providing for the ship
subsidy job has been favorably re-
ported to by the Senate. The re-
port which was made on the bill will
be widely circulated by the Repub.
licans for the pupose Of trying to
create a public sentiment for the
szoo, 900, 900 job, but it is very
doubtful whether they will try
to push the bill through until after
the Presidential election, as word
has been passed around among the
Republicans in Congress to keep the
total Of appropriations made at this
session Of Congress down as much
as possible, with the understanding
that the money can safely be made
20 iiy al the next session, which will

WAsHlNGTONLETTER.
The Porto Rico Tariff Bill Passed
the House By a Close Shave
Take Down the Flag From Any Place
Where the Constitution Cannot
Follow it.''
FROM our regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular CorrcsDondent.
Washington, ID. c., March {,
1900. --The Republican leaders of
the House are still shaking from
the fright given them by their mar
row escape from humiliating de-
feat on the Porto Rico Tariff Bill.
The figurative sack cloth and ashes
of Ash Wednesday came very near
being real for them that day. They
amended the bill by reducing the
tariff from IS to Is per cent, which
Representative Berry aptly said
merely changed the crime from
grand to petty larcency, and by
limiting its operation to two years,
which was an acknowledgement
that the whole principle of the bill
was a wrong one, and then they
could not get the votes needed to
pass IT without resorting to every
known form of political bull-dozing
and cajolery. Had the Republicans
of the House voted their real senti-
ments the bill would have been
defeated by more than a two thirds
vote instead of being passed by
vote of I7a to I6a. The Constitu-
tional question involved in this bill
will not down. 1t will be heard
when the bill is taken up in the
Senate and it will be heard all dur
ing the coming Presidential cam
paign, and like other great questions,
will never be settled until it is settled
right.
Senator Aldrich explained the
gold standard bill agreed upon by
the Conference Committee, to the
Senate, but he did not attempt the
impossible task of defending the
measure, which ought to be official
ly entitled ga bill to put money in
the pockets of the rich at the ex-
pense of the poor"
Within "a hours of the time that
the House was passing the bill to
rob the poor Porto Ricans by inn
posing duty upon the products
they have TO sell, the Senate was
taking the frs. step towards making
Hawaii a State, by passing the bill
providing a territorial government
for Hawaii If there is any logical
reason for making this unjust dis
tinction between prosperous Hawaii
and half-starved Porto Rico, it has
been concealed from the public.
The House Military Committee
has endorsed two pet schemes of
the Administration to provide pro-
motion for favori,es-that to give
the Adjutant General of the army
the rank, pay and allowances of
Major General, which will be in the
nature of reward to Gen. Corbin
for his subsesviency to Alger, and
his underhand attacks upon
Gen. Miles, his superior officer; and
that authorizing the President to Sc
lect a retired Brigadier General for
promotion to Major General, which
is intended to give Gen. Shafter
the difference between the pay and
emoiuments of a Brigadier General
and a Major General, retired, as
reward for the Cuban campaign, the
greatest part of which he spent lying
