"An enthusiastic Republican rally was
held at llniondale, Friday evening In
Carpenter's hull. .T. II. Thomas called
the meeting to order after which AV. H.
Ijcek was vhosen presiding officer with
T. B. Ulmock as secretary. The chair
man Introduced George Maxey, jr., as
the first speaker. He spoke for forty
five minutes, giving a tnastcly presen
tation of the vital issue before the
people, a clear logical, c onvincing dis
cussion i " the tariff and currency.
Frequent applause greeted the leading
sentence of Mr. Maxey's speech, but It
swelled- into a torrent when he reached
his refrence to William McKlnley. The
Seaker deserved In full measure the
prolonged and vigorous appreciation
which came when the closing words fell
from his lips.
F. J. Osgood followed, showing clearly
the fallacy of Democratic principles.
Populistlc doctrines and silver standard
theories, and how and administration
under Republican principles would
start th wheels of Industry, restore
confidence, and give the workingmen a
chance to earn an honest dollar by an
honest day's work. Hon. Philo Htir
ritt was one of the first to congratulate
Mr. Maxey on his brilliant effort.
A Republican club was formed with
the following staunch llepubllcans as
officers: President, W. H. Leek secre
tary, OeorK'e H. Carpenter; treasuree,
K. Corey; vlee-pesldeiit. J. II. Thomas;
assistant secretary, J. H. liass. The
appointment of a finance nnd a cam
paign committee was deferred until the
next meeting tonight which will bo two
weeks from Tuesday night. A vote of
thanks was extended to the speakers
and also for the aid given by members
of the Forest City Kepubllcan club in
their fraternal visit to ITniondalo.
The following from this city's club
attended: Burgess Maxey, A. L. Mor

Glynn Movgan. Henry Carr. Will Jones,
Monroe Westgate, V. i. Taylor. V. J.

AVOCA.
On Friday afternoon a hunting and
fishing party composed of George Brad
bury. John Graham. Edwin Davis, John
Boone, Thomas and Alex Gc-llispie, left
Avoca with gay spirits and thoroughly
equipped expecting to spend a few days
In the wilds near Bear Lake. When
about a mile beyond the Wilkes-Barre
and Kastern viaduct, young Boone spied
a bird and attempted to aim, but In do
ing so the weapon became entangled In
the blankets and the contents were dis
charged into the abdomen of the unfor
tunate boy. His companions were al
most crazed with grief when they be
held their companion in a few seconds
hovering between life and death. ' He
was removed to a farm house a short
distance away and medical aid sum
moned from Moscow, about eight miles
distant. The accident happened at
about 5 o'clock on Friday evening; and
an anxious night was spent by his com
panions, paltently waiting for con
sciousness to be restored to the victim.
Their expectations were scarcely real
ised, however, as he scarcely opened his
eyes when at 4 o'clock ths soul of the
t
boy had gone to meet his Maker. Mes
sengers were ut once sent to the home
of his purents to tell them the sad
news and at about 11 o'clock the body
was taken to tnvn and prenared for
burial. Deceased waB a son of Mr. and
Mrs John Boone, of Lincoln Hill. He
was of a jovial disposition, well built
and would have been il yra'rs c.f age
in October. His, with the. earnings of
his father. ' supported a large family.
The parents are grief stricken as are
all the other members of the family. The
funeral will take place tils afternoon
at 2.30 o'clock. Interment will be in
St. Mary's cemetery. The coroner Im
paneled the following jurors who viewed
the remains and will meet this eve
ning to hear testimony in the case:

was the c hairman of the county com

He was a son of Judge Benjamin Lath
rop. born in September, 1815, and was
consequently nearly 81 years of age. In
l.ls younger days Mr. Lathrop waa en-gtu-ed
In newspaper work and was
connected with the Pittsburg Times

CAcNjT SPEAK ENGLISH.
Prom the Post-Exyress.
The results of one of the most Interest
ing of the inquiries made by the eleventh
census have Just been oubltshed. It la
that relative to the uttility of our people
to speak Knglish. As it had been in
cluded In no ot'ier record, we cannot
study it comparatively. It must stand
alone, but it is interesting; enough to do
so. When one leurns thai thn number of
persons over 111 years of ukp In the l'lilted
Stales who cannot sneak the language
of the country. Is l,?ls,4t;. the statement
Is very astonishing, for it excludes deaf
mutes and means that on the average
about one person In every twenty-eight
does not know Rnglish. The ratio seems,
too. discouraging at lirsi. And there is
cause for wonder when one adds that
about ID per cent, are whites, nailve born
and of native parentage. Kour-llfths are
foreign horn, and only 4 per cent, nre
native whites of foreign parentage. The
remaining i per cent, of the number who
do not speak Kngllsh are "colored," which
doubtless means here Chinese and In
dians. II II II
One would hardly have thought that as
many people as are included in the whole
population of Rochester could have lived
In the country for two generations and yet
not huve learned the language. "Where
do rhey live?" is the natural question.
The statistics show that they are al
most wholly In Louisiana, Pennsylvania,
and New -Mexico, and the problem Is thus
solved. They are proud scions of old
races: In Louisiana the Krencli Aeadlutis
with their pretty patois: In Pennsylvania
the "Pennsylvania Dutch;" ami in New
Mexico the descendants of the early Huun
Ish senors und senorltas. "They are not Jo
any extent the hopeless dwellers in the
ghettoes and national sluma of great
cities. In fact, the tlgures which show
that only 4 tier cent, of all those who do
not speak English nre natives of foreign
parentuge, show how futile Is the effect
of those Immigrant colonies Iu perpetuat
ing foreign tongues ami Kleus. Young
America cannot be restrained, for that 4
per cent, is only a Part of 1'per cent, of
all the native whites of foreign parentage
Iu the country, uud more than u third of
this number are in Louisiana, presumably
among the Acadiaus UKUin.
il n l-
The figures tluit give l.STl.tMi as the
number of foreign born -w hites, who do
not speak English. ' seem low until one
remembers how many of our foreign horn
ImmlKiunts coma from Kiixllsh speaking
countries. If one takes out these, the
nuinliei Is about one quarter of all the
whites who were born In some country
where there was another tongue than
English. Hut perhaps a very little and a
very broken English suffices to take one
from the number. These non-English
speaking people ore scuttered mainly
through the northern states, following
generally the stream ir immigration.
More than auo.Wiu of them lire In New York
mute.' and some T.0uU less are In each
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. and Illinois.
Probubly the mines und 1'hlladelphiu, the
German clement, and ChlcOKO account re-spec-lively
for these, just us the city of
New York explains the Umpire state-s
Hreut number, for In that Rateway to the
country 18 per cent, of the foreign born
cannot spcuk English. Hut they huve
been over a very little whilu. Probably a
majority of the whole foreign born popu
lation has come in the last- ten years, and
in New York, whence so many hurry
awav, perhaps in live; while we know,
from the other tlugres. that, leaving out
Louisiana, only three-tent lis of"l per cent,
nf the children they bear here will reach
10 years of line without having learned our
language. I Hi the whole, the Inquiry Is
thus full of encouragement, for It Is
strong anil Indubitable statistical proof
of the tinickness with which we Ameri
canize our Immigrants.

"Ah. then, there is still time."
A pause.
"How much longer, monsieur?"
"Ten seconds, mudame," with the air of

"Excuse me for ten seconds."
She made a few of those panther strides

After invoking a b'sslnK on all the
members of the family she wound up by
saying:
"And bless Mr. Hlcksworthy. Amen."
Then she rose up, but Immediately knelt
down again.
"I don't mean the Mr. Hicknworthy that
