by Gable & Sergeant. and opened for the use OF
the regiment February -, 1897.
A large percentage of the command enlisted
for service in the Spanish war and proceeded to
Chickamauga Park under the command of
Colonel Goodman ]. Greene where it was held
in reserve until it became evident that the gov

United States. On its return the 9th was re-
organized and William F. Morris, who had been

regiment took its place in the National Guard

the funeral of President Lincoln, The next year
the new armory at No. 221 West Twenty-sixth-

Up to 1870 the regiment maintained its
strength, but many Withdrawals and resigna

weak body James Fisk, jr.. then well known
active business man and energetic citizen,

much applause. and Colonel Fisk, with his gold

Our nation is passing through great
political crisis. Whether our national
policy is to be one OF territorial expan-
sion, or whether we ara to remain a1oof
from international complications, is the
supreme question confronting our Con-
gress. The attention of the world is dt-
rected toward US. The deliberations of
eur Congress have come to be Of inter
national Importance.
But this consideration affects only
our external welfare. Our domestic
problems are not one bit less import
ant. We have serious questions before
US that relate only to home interests.
Chief among them is the health OF our
people. Catarrh has already become q
national curse. It's ravages extend from
ocean to ocean. More than one-haIf of
TIE people are affected by it. It has be-
come such serious matter that it has
passed the boundaries of the medical
profession and become a national uues-
ton. Senators are talking about 1t;
Congressman are discussing it. They
are not only considering the extent and
chronic nature Of the disease, but the
possibility Of finding national remedy
to meet this national calamity.
