GETTING ARMY READY
That's What the War Department
Is Doing.
Are Not Preparing FOR war-rhst Il, We
DO Not Expect Fight nj onee.
Great Activity Explained.

Washington. Feb. s.-"The army ts
getting ready for the defense Of the
United States at all times II Is not
preparing for war with anybody. We
are doing the things now that we
should have done many years ago.
The difference n the situation in this
country and in Europe is that we are
never prepared for war, while Great
Britain and Germany and italy are al
ways on war basis. We will be on a
war basis. too, soon"
A prominent army official said this
today in explaining the great activity
that prevails in ali the army posts aid
coast artillery stations and in all the
gun shops and arsenals. 1t Is admit
ted that the activity could not be
much greater II we expected war with
some European power, But II is do
clared that this is not done because of
the tension over venezuela.
Orders have been given to the arm
ory at Springfield 60 rush 100 1000 new
Krag rifles TO the arseaals OF the coun-
try. These are for the arming OF the
first troops that will be mustered into
the national reserve provided for by
the militia bill. This law will give
the regular army reserve of 2500OO
men.
II is the aim Of Secretary Root to
have this reserve organized within a
few months so that different divisions,
armed and equipped exactly as the
regulars are, can 60 in the encamp-
ments with the regulars and become
disciplined according TO the regular
army tactics To pay the expense OF
this work aad pay the members Of the
national reserve for their time and
service during the maneuyers, an
amendment was offered TO the army
appropriation bill today appropriating

| Secretary Root issued an order, Great

erals department to be known as the
Militia Division" The head OF this
will be Mai. James Parker.
1t is admitted that as great activity
prevails at all navy yards and the
gun and ammunition shops OF the navy
as has been noted In the army. every
body admits that If trouble should
come the activity which has been go
ing on for several weeks will have
proved itself doubly a good thing.

The Oldest Preacher.

Mississippi claims the oldest
preacher in the United States, and
perhaps in the world. The reverend
gentleman is Rev. N. l.. Clarke, who
resides at Newton, Miss. He was
ordained into the ministry on the
10th of June, 1888, and has been in
the active ministry in East NIissis-
sippi for more than sixty years, is
editor of local Baptist paper, pas
tor Of the Newton Baptist church,
and often drives ten miles over the
country roads to perform marriage
and funeral services.

know exactly what that meant, but
found out later.
The great hall was crowded with
the best people of New England. My
uncle was with others seated upon
the platform. Mr.. Choate's face was
all nerves and muscles, his large eyes
and mouth conspicuous. For half
an hour his voice was almost a mon-
otone with every word carefully and
distinctly uttered, but this was but
the breathing of gentle wind be-
fore the storm, Soon he seemed TO
lose control OF his own emotions and
scared away among the stars, and
his features took on an unearthly
glow, his arms responded to every
sentence, his frail body swayed to
and fro and his audience unconscious
ly swayed with him and held their
breath for fear they would lose 4
word or melton.
No, / will never forget that speech.
He stopped because he had TO stop,
for with the last eloquent sentence
he became exhausted and was bodily
lifted by my uncle and others to the
ante-room where he was stripped and
rubbed down like an exhausted race
horse. In an hour or so he was re-
newed and revived. This was Rufus
Choate--a bundle of quiyering, pas
sionate nerves--whose eloquence no
audience could calmly listen to and
no jury withstand.--Bll Arp, in At

More Mormon Missionaries.

The Mormon church, better
known as the Latter Day Saints, has
sent another large batch Of mission
aries into Mississippi, and they are
now busily engaged distributing
tracts setting forth the principles Of
the faith. No less than 100 Nor
mon workers are now engaged in
Mississippi, and from an official
source it is learned that they intend
to conduct vigorous missionary
campaign in the State during the
spring and summer months. The
work is being carried on quietly, but
the Mormons are getting recruits,
and their converts may be found
among the ignorant classes Of whites
N the rural districts, to which their
labors are chiefly confined.

Their trainers brought the dogs that
were looked on as enjoying a mort
cage for the rich purse hung up for
fbe winner Of the Derby. Little at
tention was paid to a pointer, ham
died by plainly dressed man, from
Corinfh, Miss. When. the final
brace we're started to settle the first
heat the pointer had things all his
own way and by all round good
work caught the judges eye and
won for his owner the title of cham
pion Derby dog of America. Al
fred's John was the name of the
pointer pup and Mr.. Jones that of
the handler. Jones left his Missis-
sippi home full of confidence and is
reported to have said just before
leaving: "If | win that Derby I'll
give the church $780," and he kept
his word Immediately on receiving
first money and the trophy that
went with the purse. Alfred's John
is regarded by dog men as marvel.
He has no pedigree, and but for this
handicap he might be worth thou
sands instead of $500, which Mr..
Whitney's representative offered af-
ter facing defeat in the last run-off.
Before the start Of the last run-off.
entertained spectators around the
hotel with sideshow features by
making Alfred's John do tricks that
would compare with similar stunts
accomplished in refined vaudeville.
Alfred's John is also coon and
possum hunter, and will "trce" the
varmints Of the woods as readily as
he hunts quail on the ground. After
the easy victory of the poor mans
dog the Fasteners were the first
to extend the hand Of congratula-
ton. The next move was to pur-
chase Alfred's John for Mr.. Whit
ney's kennels. But Jones refused
all offers and will leave for his home
near Corinth, carrying with him the
purse, pointer pup and $50 prom
lsed to the little village church.
