QUAKER CITY RECRUITS.
Keystone State Furnishes Good Men
for the Army.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb 3.-Of the 80, 500
men required at once for the reorganiza-
ton Of the United States Army. it is ex-
pected that Pennsylvania will furnish a
very large proportion. Lieut.. Col. d. J.
Craigie, who is in charge of the recruit
ing stations in this State. Delaware, and
the border counties of New Jersey, said
yesterday that the Government will have
no difficulty in securing all of the men
needed, and that this State will furnish
the pick of the army. In discussing the
matter Colonel Craigie said:
Pennsylvania furnishes the very best
soldiers in the world, and more than her
share. We never send out any rowdies
from this State, and have never had any
OF our recruits dismissed. We have a
WONDERFUL Held of good, sturdy men to
PICK from. and we never consider applica-
tions from those who do not come up to
absolutely every requirement of the de-
partment- The Twelfth Regiment has
come to be known as the Twelfth Penn
syiVania. because nearly every man in
the command halls from this State, and
most OF them put on their first uniform
in this Office
The army, as it Is now organized Of
fers permanent employment, fair pay, and
pension for life upon the completion of
term OF service, and thousands OF young
men nave enlisted who found il a better
paying occupation than their mechanical
trade

We want men for service in Manila We
are not at present sending any to Cuba.
Inc men We enlist now will see service in
distant countries and come back home
stronger and better than they have ever
been.
Between now and June 30 next every
volunteer now in the Philippines will be
discharged and brought home. within
ninety days of their landing more than
ne-third of these men will report here
for re-enlistment and will thus gain ma
terial advantages not offered to new re-
cruits
These veterans will form an important
part of the reorganized army. They have
been taught discipline and viii teach it
to the raw recruits who march and fight
with them. With 10000 seasoned men
fairly in sight there can be and will be no
trouble in effecting complete reorgani-
cation as provided for by the new law.
of my personal knowledge l can gay
that the pick of the army was recruited
in Pennsylvania. and of the 21,700 yolun
teers sent out from this vicinity the per-
centage of worthy soldiers comes pretty
close to 100.
I'VE are examining applicants every
day by the dozen but we cannot and do
not accept any but those who show an
aptitude for the service and fully meet
the requirements as to physical proper
tions."

urement adopted by the War Department

PREPARING FOR THE MEET.
The Georgetown Track Team Round

In preparation for the indoor meet Of
the Georgetown University Athletic Asso-
citation, which will be held in Convention
Hall on March g large number Of candi-
dates for ti>S track team are working out
daily on the indoor track at Georgetown
under direction of Coach Foley. 1t is the
hope of the supporters Of the blue and
grey that a large share of the glory will
be won by the Georgetown team. Coach
Foley is making good progress with the
material at his disposal.
Captain Duffy, the crack Splinter is in
splendid condition and will doubtless be
in great trim by the date of the meet.
The strained lig5ment which ruined his
chances of victory in the international
games at Paris last summer is giving him
no further trouble Holland, the speedy
quarter miller, is running in frst-class
form and 1t is hoped will give Maxey
Long. Columbia's veteran sprinter on
board and cinder track, a hard brush for
victory. Although Holland has been de-
feated by the New Yorker on more than
one occasion on the cfnder path the two
will probably be evenly matched indoors,
as Holland is recognized as a very clever
runner en- the boards.
The high jump bids fair to prove close
contest. Already assurances have been re-
ceiyed that three OF the best Jumpers In
tho East will contest. They are Baxter, OF
Pennsylvania; Jones. Of the College Of the
City of New York. and Sparker, Of Yale.
Each Of the trio can clear over six feet
three.
One of the big events on the card Will
be a relay race between teams from Corn
well and Columbia Cornell has a large
number of candidates trying for the relay
team, among whom are several members
OF the cross country team which lately won
the intercollegiate cross country cham

Duffy will go to New York TO contest in
the games of the Knickerbocker Ath-
letic Club tonight. He is entered In

the existing indoor record for that dis
lance. He will also be entered in the
games of the Boston Athletic Association
on the 18th instant.

An Anime Miracle Play.

Here and there IN the Alps, IN
lonely valleys. the Christmas night
IS marked by the performance OF
a miracle play, or, to speak more
precisely, a dramatic inteTlude
which treats OF the visit Of the
shepherds to the stable at Bethle-
hem. The best OF the surviving
specimens OF the Christmas pasto-
raj is the one performed IN the
valleys of Cuorgne, in Piedmont,
Count Nigra, the Italian ambas-
sador at Vienna, remembers haV-
ing figured in it as a child, In the
character OF a herald angel, with
the wings Of a peacock's feather:
to him we owe the preservation OF
the text which he published a few
years ago with some interesting
notes, The necessary personages
in this dramatic scene are eleven
shepherds and one angel, but
three angels are preferred when
they can De had, Mary and Joseph
do not appear. A side altar is
converted into manger, in which
the image OF the Babe lies. Mid
night mass has advanced as far as
the credo when the performance
opens with what is called an San
gelic prologue" In this homily,
the congregation are requested to
be very attentive; then, on this
dark night, they will behold great
portents. They will see the shep-
herds draw near to worship new
born Babe, in whom, with melting
hearts, they recognize their Re
deemer. This prologue ends with
the words: Whose desires happi-
ness and justice, let him seek them
in God, for they are not to be
found among men; and now may
may we meet one day in HEAVIER"
A knocking is heard at the chief
entrance: the priest opens the
door, and the eleven shepherds
walk into the church. Each car
riss staff in one hand, and his
Offering in the other. The gifts
remain with the priest, but, like
the ancient sacrifice, they are in
very truth offered to Diety. This
custom has endeared the ceremo-
NAL to the poor, who are so fond
OF giving. They feel that their
offerings actually supply the wants
OF their infant Lord, and feeling is
much more real than thinking or
knowing. Wren all the gifts have
been presented, Montana lone OF
the shepherds) says that since their
duty is done, they will go forth and
spread the good news abroad.
Let everything be glad and re-
jojce. Let the Holy Name be
craven on the bark Of all the trees;
let the air whisper it, and the crys-
tai fountain reply. The birds, the
wild beasts, and the hocks shall
learn to pronounce it, and from
every rock and mount and ABYSS
Echo will repeat the name OF the
Child born this night" The priest
finishes the mass, and the congre-
cation ioin in a caTol:--
hear the people singing
Their songs OF gladdest praise;
The very skies are ringing
With sweet angelic lays.
Rejoice, nv heart, and sing with them,
For Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Out OF the church the mountain
folk depart into the silence OF the
Alpine winter night. Each lights
his torch, and takes his way slowly
across the snow to his own dwell
ing. Above shine the innumerable
stars.

Maine Beavers Dam a River.

The biggest beaver dam ever seen in
Maine is now attracting hundreds of
people to Caribou, on the Aroostook
river, says the Lewiston Evening Jour
nal Two miles from the village the
beavers have built a dam Of logs and
mud $50 feet long. turning the river
back upon the lowlands for distance
of three miles and thus creating a
great lake. Trees a foot in diameter
have been cut down by the beavers.
the branches trimmed off and the
trunks in some mysterious manner
brought to the dam and submerged.
The dam is better than many on the
river that have been built by men, and
the Caribou people are rather proud of
it. Over 1000 beavers have worked
hard on this job for several months,
and they will be allowed to remain in
possession all winter.

Rallies Electric Line.

The magnificent old Corniche road
from Nice to the convent of Laghet,
passing by La Turbie, is to be served
by a novel and ingenious traction sys"
TEN, according to the London Mail. No
rails will be laid. The cars are prac-
tically large electric motor cars minus
accumulators. The motor receives its
electrical power from overhead wires.
Central electrical works will provide
the current, which win pass through
two parallel aerial wires supported Gy
posts. One wire will be used by the
ascending. the other by the descending
vehicle. Great economy of energy is
obtained. besides the gain of all the
space and the avoidance Of the weight
Of the accumulators. One feature of
the system is the ease with which the
motor cars will make way or pass
around any carriage they encounter,
the connecting wire being sufficiently
long to allow of such deviations.
