BURIED AT ST. ROSE'S.
The Remains of Mrs. James Evans Laid

. The remains of Mrs. James Evans, of
Jlayfield. who died at a polyclinic In
stitution on the 4th of this month,
" were buried Saturday afternoon at St.
JJose's cemetery.
. The deceased was a lady of peculiarly
winning disposition, and possessed
t' many friends, both in Mnylield and this
City, Who will miss her greatly. A hU3-
band and inur children survive her.

Mr. Ilomdsn's Invention.
E. C. Hornden. manager of the .Wes
ton Mill company's plant In this city,
is the' Inventor of a contrivance for un
loading grain from care that Is in diif--cessful
operation at the company's mill
In Bcranton, and will probably be Intro-
duced here. The grain Is taken from
the car by a large scoop and dumped
Into a bin. the power being furnished
1y a large drum about which winds tin?
rope attached' to the scoop. Formerly
It required the time of a man to govern
the actions of the drum and another
at the scoop, making the work slow
and laborious. Mr. Hornden's Invention
introduces a clutch In the axle of the
drum, which Is easily operated by the
right hand of the man handling the
scoop" at almost any distance away,
stopping the drum at will. The1 In
vention therefore saves much time and
the labor of one man.
A Fnnny Predicament.
, Last week two of our well known
Sportsmen went hunting and were
placed In a ratheivfunny predicament.
Having no dog of their own they bor
rowed a blooded one of a friend, who
let them have it only after they vowed
that, the greatest care would be tukm
of It Of course they promised and set
eut. The trip was most successful and
they were congratulating themselves
upon their success, when they noticed
the dog was missing. They did not
dnre return without It and were great
ly perplexed. They hunted everywhere,
but no trace of the missing eanlno was
found. The next day resulted the same
but at last after scouring the whole
neighborhood for two days the canine
was found and the huntsmen returned
father wearied by their search.
Minstrels To-night.
' A f.naranteed ifritertalnment will be
fiveri tonight by the famous HI Henry
minstrels of forty persons. The com
pany are led by Arthur Deming and
Frank E. McNish, who are both well-
kno-vn minstrels and who have won for
themselves on the stage a most envia
ble reputation. The play while not de
parting from the conventionalities of
minstrelsy, is so changed that It is de
Oldedly original, while the costumes
and other things which help to make
inch entertainments a success are all
first-class. The specialties that are in
troduced are all good, some of them be
ing probably the best that will be seen
h.'re this year.

ities than those that have made him a
Tow Idol. Canada, never too closely unit

which mean3 tho parting of the ways. A
stoailv concentration of tho French eh
ment has been going on for thirty years.
The Influence of the Yankeo republic.
whoee amazing growth Is a constant re.
minder of the futility of Canada's pres

democratic lines. All that Canada is she
owes to the Impetus given the colony by
the original emigrants from Franc, kv

ly French. Such cities as Montreal and
Quebec owe their charm to the French
builders and architects.
In contrast with old French towns-be
yond the St. Lawrence, Ottawa, London
and the mushroom municipalities of the
English are most dismal to look upon, ln
tolerable to live in. Society, too, where
the French predominate, has a cast of Its
own, full ot Interest, piquancy, grace,
charm ihe expression, in short, of philo
sophic repose. Above all, the alternate
bullying and bundling of British admin
Istratlon has solidified the French ele
ment. Its press, Its teachers. Its public
men, now speak out the long-cherished
hopo of the real Canadian for the estab
llshment of a republic. The British oppo
nents of the idea make the language a
difficulty. There need be none In that,
The tongue of a people Is made by the
needs of lis arts, commerce, science In
the United States millions of foreigners
have striven In vain to retain the tongue
of their fatherland. But before the socinl
needs, the social ambitions of the second
generation, all nllcn tongues die out. The
children of Italian, German, Polish, Dan
ish or any foreign parentage whatsoever,
lose the parental tongue and speak only
the language of the land. . "
If the French are 'numerous enough. If
they can lnditco the majority to employ
the mclodloiiH, philosophic language of
Franco, so much the better. It Is a tongue
thnt all cultivated people find profit and
pleasure In knowing. There Is not a
country In Europe where the educated
ranks do not count a fluent use of French
a neccslty. Indeed, In Germany, Aus
tria and Italy French Is almost obligatory
upon all ranks. The laws of lower Canada
ore published In French as well as Eng
lish. Helf the people know no other
tonguo. It would be only public Justice,
therefore, If, In setting up for herself,
Canada resumed the tongue Identified
with her first colonists, -the noble body of
men that redeemed her wintry wilds from
savagery and desolation. With French
the national tongue to the north of us,
ve should bo saved the journeying to

IN CASE OF WAR.
From the Syracuse Post.
No one is expecting the United States
to engage In war with any other nation,
and yet wars sometimes come among the
things that are unexpected. The serious
and practical question to be asked Is, if
this nation were Involved In war with
any of the leading nations of the world,
how soon could it be ready to defend its
own territory? As far as men are con
cerned, the nation could put great armies
In the field before any foreign foe could
reach this country. The National Guard
lit each state Is a reserve army, and on
twenty-four hours' notice l.OOv.OOD m?n
could be under arms. There would be
no trouble about soldiers, nor would there
bo any trouble about the navy. The Unit
ed States now has some of the best cruis
ers and warships afloat. Jt Is able to pro
tect Itself on the sea.
But the matter of ' greatest ' concern
would be the question of coast defenses.
The United States, so far as Its coast
line Is concerned, is almost an island. It
has several thousand miles of coast line.
Its sovereignty extends from the ex
treme eastern shore of Maine to the ex-
tremo northwestern shore of the state ot
Washington, and on up the coast along
Alaskan territory to Bering Sea. On this
long coast line are scores of cities of more
or less commercial Importance. What
protection have they against foreign war
ships? The first protection upon which
American seaports must rely Is the Amer
ican navy. So far as our navy eould. It
would attempt to Intercept and break up
any fleet of foreign warships that might
come this way. But it would be too much
to expect that every Invading ship could
be turned back or disabled before it reach
es an American seaport. 8ome of the
large cities on the coast have fortifica
tions either completed or well under way.
This Is true as regards New York, where

extensive fort tfl cations have been pro
pared on the government reserve lion for
merly known as Bandy Hook, now called
Fort Hancock. Coast defenses are well
under way at Ban Francisco and at one or
two other cities, But there are practically
no ooast defenses whatever at most of the
American seaports. If war should be de
clared tomorrow, this nation would have
to rely upon Its navy and upon such hasty
defenses as could be afforded by torpedo
systems, and then work the gun factories
to their utmost capacity In order to pro
vide suitable coast defenses.
Hon J. H. Outhwaite, a member of thV
boaed of ordnance and fortifications, says
that the country can be made ready for
a successful defense In case of war by
the year 1100, but that If it were hard
pressed with Its present facilities for man
ufacturing big guns. It might get In fair
condition, for defense In two and a half
years. U Mr. Outhwaite Is correct In his
statements R will behoove this govern
ment to push the work of coast fortifica
tion as rapidly as possible.
