range for the Grecian war in the third
year of his reign, and it is probably this
feast which is described In the first
chapter of the book of Ksther, as given
to the nobles of the realm, assembled at
Sliusliati from all parts of the empire.
It lasted ISO days, or six months. At
this long-continued fete were gathered
the chief officers and nobles from the 1
whole empire. Everything was done to
impress upon them the greatness and
power of the king, and the unlimited
resources at his command, I

(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia. Sept. 26. Elaborate
preparations are being made for
the entertainment of the Tenth Penn
sylvania regiment, that participated
with Dewey in the campaign in Luzon,
while they are here en route to the
demonstration In New York in honor
of the admiral. The "Fighting Tenth,"
who were received with BUOh a glorioiu
outburst of popular fooling In Pitts
burg, are going to havo n similar re
ception in the Quaker City, the homo
of American patriotism. They will
Dad that Philadelphia cannot be ex
celled In paying a tribute of regard to
the brave sons of Pennsylvania Who
went to the far off Philippine! to de
fend the tlag and give their lives if
necessary for the dignity and honor of
their country. No other state east of
the Alleghenlei can claim the credit
of having a regiment In Luzon in the
recent struggles with the Spanish and
the Filipinos. The "Fighting Tenth'- (
returned home with a record excelled
by no other command for discipline
and bravery In action. They wore 71
days on the firing line, and the dead !
they left in Luzon and the tattered
battle flag that they brought home
bear testimony to the valor and pa
triotism of the regiment.
Although Lieutenant Colonel James
E. Harnett, who is In command of the
regiment, has been tumble to take any
part in the canvass for his election as
the Republican nominee for state
treasurer, on account of his health
having been broken down from his
experience in the Philippines, It is be
lieved that he will be strong enough
to make the trip to New York.
Philadelphia Will maintain her repu
tation for hospitality when the boyfl
of the "Fighting Tenth" reach here
this week. The Third regiment, every
man of whom, under Colonel Robert
Ralston, volunteered when the call
came from the president, In the Spanish-American
war, will be proud to
have the members of the Tenth as
guests. They will be at the station to
meot them on their arrival, and will
escort them to their regimental ar

After that there will be a series of
"smokers" at convenient halls, each
company looking after a company of

atrical talent have been engaged for
those events and they promise things
of marvelous interest to the visitors
from the west.

one of your menials, who persistenly

to the exposition will be made the oc

bronze cannon, which was bron; nt

to the city ofhiladelphf". Mayor Asa

presentation speech by Lieutenant Pol
onel Harriott, novernor Stone, who
is to co to New York to lead the Penn
sylvania troops In the Dewey parade,
is also expected to be here to receive
the Tenth regiment, and may make a
short address.
THE CITY TO DECORATE.
The citizens of Philadelphia want to
pny quite ns much attention to the
Tenth regiment as was shown them in
the western section of the state. While
they are not bound by as close family
and other personal ties, they feel that
they represent In the highest degree
the patriotism and the fighting spirit of
tho old Keystone commonwealth as
though they were all from tho Quaker
City. Mayor Ashbrlde will Issue rn
address to the people of th city to
appropriately decorate their dwellings
and places of business, and to other
wise observe the occasion of the visit
of the only command east of the Alle
ghenlei that went to the Philippines, in
a manner to maintain the reputption Ol
the municipality for hospitality nnd
devotion to the welfare of the country.
There can be no doubt of the inter
est taken by the people in this event.
In anticipation of the coming of the
regiment the municipal authorities
have directed that, part of the decora
tions of the "Avenue of Fame," which
was erected for the convention of the
Grand Army of the Republic, shall be
maintained on Broad street. The Union
League building has been beautifully
decorated for the evening and the ex
terior has lioen decked with hundreds
of electric lights. Ther.e globes form
an eagle and a shleW In the national
colors, and above them Is the word
"Welcome," also fashioned in electric
bulbs.
Cards will be Issued to the officers
of the regiment to the Union League,
the Art club, the Mercantile and other
club houses. The regiment will be es
corted to the station for New York by
the Third. First and Second regiments,
of this city.
There is every roaaon to believe that
the visit of the Tenth to Philadelphia
will be made memorable in the history
of the regiment.
THE PLACE OF HONOR.
It is proposed to give the boys of tho
Tenth the right of the line of the Penn
sylvania division of the parade In New
York. It can be assumed that this reg
meut, being the only command that
was with Dewey in the Philippines,
will receive much attention along the
line of march In Manhattan.
After the parade there will be an
Interesting reunion of the land and sea
fighters, when the Pennsylvania sol

upon their native land once more."
