AIS MORE men
District Guard, Then at War
Strength, Total Number
300, Including Officers.

Only AS more men are needed to bring
the District militia up to its maximum
war strength.
1t is expected that Mexican reports
carrying promise of action, will bring
out this number within the next forty
eight hours.
When the necessary AS recruits have
pa ssed the physical examination, the Dis
trict militia will total 5000 officers and
men, as follows:
Infantry. 1.SOO; Cavalry. 100; Machine
Gun Company 80; Headquarters Com
pany. 55; Field Artillery. 400; Signal Corps,
IS; Hospital Corps, IS; Separate Battal-

last night. Their joy was short-lived

The recruiting station at 1925 Pennsyl-

Others appeared at the Separate Battal-

ARE
RUSHED SOUTH
Will Relay American Refugees
from Warships to United
States Ports.

American refugees, fearing for their
safety, are crowding aboard American
warships of the Mexican coasts, accord
ing to reports received yesterday at the
Navy Department. Transports capable
of accommodating a thousand each are
being dispatched to relay the Americans
from the naval vessels TO the nearest
United States port.
Meanwhile Rear Admiral Winslow. com
msnder in chief OF the Pacific Fleet. is
hurrying to Mazatlan with his flagship,
the San Diego, in order to support Com
mander Kavanagh. who had difficulty
there in getting permission for Ameri-
cans to leave the town. II is understood
that Commander Althouse, commanding
the cruiser Cleveland. has already gone
to Commander Kavanagh's assistance.
The Navy Department is somewhat con-
cerned over the lack OF advices from
Commander KavanaSh, due. it is pre-
sumed. to the fact that the gunboat An
napolis is not equipped with powerful
wireless. The last heard from him was
that Mazatlan was wild with excitement
and that the MeXicans were all armed.
The Navy Department does not yet know

Mastering Officer, However,
Believes 1t Will Take Longer

The District Militia will be on its way
to the Mexican border within a week.
This was the consensus of opinion among
officers Of the National Guard last
night, following the announcement by
the War Department that the men would
go "as soon as they are ready"
No one-not even the Secretary OF War
knows where the local troops will be
sent. That depends. it was stated by
high official of the War Department
last night. on Gen. Funston. 1t was
stated, however, that there would he 10

Instead, the men will be sent directly
to those points where Gen. Funston con-
siders them needed.
The men now are being formally mus
tered into the Federal service-although.
as a matter of fact, such step is a
carrying of Goals TO Newcastle. AS stated
in The Washington Herald Immediate
ly following the Presidents call for
troops, the District National Guard is
the one organization of its kind in the
United States which is both local and
Federal in character. The oath the
Guardsmen take on enlisting is Identical
to the last comma, with that taken by
recruits of the regular army. So also
is the physical examination which the
local Guardsmen must undergo before
being accepted.

OF EVIL THOUGHTS.

Perhaps one of the most striking
differences between the average Cath
Ollie and the ordinary non-CathOlic is
to be found in their respective views
as to the sinfulness of mere thoughts.
1t is possible, indeed, that there are
even some Catholics SO poorly in
structed that they entertain CHROME
Gus opinions on this subject,-imag
lining, for instance, that sins of
thought are at the worst only venial
sins. AS for the too common man in
the street who knows little and cares
less about religion, he probably be-
lieyes that, so long as an evil thought
does not become externalized in word,
and especially in act, there is no
harm DONE"
For the Catholic, any ignorance of
the truth of the matter is, of course,
+. inexcusable. He is probably not so
ignorant that he has never recited the
Confiteor,-the Il confess to Almighty
God" and as often as he has done so

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. REssARloN, SOLITARY.

Bessarion, an Egyptian, was early
instructed in holy things. In child
hood he was favored by God with
supernatural lights, and filled with His
divine love. He never lost his bap
tismal innocence, and renonncing all
things, lived by faith alone. He
would have neither house nor lands,
nor even a fixed abode. Looking upon
himself as a captive stranger upon
earth, he spent his life in wandering
about the desert, bearing patiently
day and night the scorching heat or
the extreme cold. His heroic detach-
ment led him to practise most severe
penance; and he once stood forty days
and nights in thicket of thorns.
His charity equalled his detachment.
Finding the corpse of poor man un-
covered, he laid his cloak upon him,
and as he went further on he bestow-
ed his tunic on a beggar, remaining
without clothes until a passer-by be-
slowed some upon him. His life was
so faultless that it resembled that of
an angel; and his unbounded faith
enabled him to work numberless mir
acles, though in his humility he con-
cealed them. Thus, for example,
when walking by the sea-shore, his
disciple said, Father, | am overcome
by thirst. Bessarion knelt in prayer
and then said, Drink the waters OF
the sea- The disciple knelt down to
do SO, and found it changed into
fresh water; he wished to take some
of it with him, but Bessarion forbade
him, saying, God, Who is here, is like
wise everywhere. He died about the
year 500.
Bessarion would sometimes leave
the wilds of the desert, and traverse
those parts inhabited by other soil
taries. When he approached a mon
astery he stood outside, signing anC
weeping like a shipwrecked mariner
who has lost his all. When Offered
help or shelter, he answered, Il cal
never enter until / have regaineC
what / have lost;" meaning his orig
inal innocence. And he added: :"
have fallen into the hands of pirates
| am degraded from nay rank of no
bility l must suffer all the days o
my life. There is nothing left for M
but to consume it in tears

One could not call him old. He
was still in the fifties and six months
before he had been hale and hearty,
with cheerful greeting and a pleas
ant word for all, but especially for
the children, the INDECENT and the suf-
fering. But pneumonia had developed
into tuberculosis, and Vincent Con-
nors was dying.
He had been mysterious man.

would be away from home, none knew

National Guard Units
to Be Returned Home as
New Regiments Arrive

Washington. Sept. IS. General
Funston was directed by the War De-
partment to-day to return one Ma
tional Guard regiment to its home sta
ton for each new regiment of the
guard sent to the border.
The second New York infantry will
be one of the first to return. Other
regiments will be selected by General
Funston. Train equipment used to
transport troops recently ordered south
will be employed in bringing home the
returning regiments.
The order was issued in line with
Secretary Bakers policy of sending all
organizations in State mobilization
camps to the border before they are
mustered out of the federal service.
1t was indicated at the War De-
partment that no general movement of
guardsmen homeward would be
ordered until a decision affecting the
border situation had been reached by
the American Mexican commission
now meeting at New London, Conn.
The department has submitted the
final disposition of all border troops,
National Guard and regulars. to the
commission. When National Guard
organizations are ordered to home
stations for mastering out, those men,
bers who apply may be discharged at
border stations when applications are
made in good faith and are approved
by the commanding officers.

Of the Americans, who arrived here
to-day on the Cunard liner Tuscania.
Agents of the Department of State

here and took the dispositions of the
Americans.
According to billiard the Kelvinia
was torpedoed at o'clock in the
morning without any warning having
been given. The vessel listed i'm
mediately and as there was not enough
boats for both the crew and the Am

Americans put on life belts and jump

a trawler after floating about for IA
hours. billiard said that at the time
the kelvinia met with the mishap he

to disappear under the water. This,
he declared, confirmed his belief that
there had been a submarine attack.

Walks 20 MILES to Serve
Term in Northumberland Jail

Sunbury, Pa, Sept. 1s. Frank
Zerbe, 32 years old, arrived at the
northumberland county Jail here
footsore and weary. He had a COM
mitment sending himself to Jail for
ninety days. Justice Shoener. of
Treverton, was the committing magis-
trate. Zerbe was nailed before the
Justice on charge of assault and bat
terry preferred by his daughter. He
admitted his guilt and the court after
a scatching rebuke sentenced him to
ninety days.
You might as we'll make it 1907"
growled the defendant. ''I'll take you
at your word said the Squire, you can
have 100 days and get ready to leave
at once"
Realizing that Justice Schooner
meant business Zerbe appealed upon
him to take off the additional 100
days. The Squire replied: I'll tell
you what I'll do. Here is your COM
mitment to the county Jail at Sunbury.
If you'll take 1t there yourself and
save your taxpayers the constable's s
expenses 1 will knock off the additional
days"
Zerbe accepted the Justices offer,
rolled up his trousers and walked the
twenty miles over the mountains,
nearly surprising the warden out of q
years growth when he presented hiI
own commitment.
