DUTIES OF QUARDSMEN.
They Can He Ordered Outsldo oftlio
Stnto by the President.
Tlf followltiR letter wns received "by
the editor of The Tribune yesterday:
Aproros of the present war feellm:
thrmiRhcut tho country, the question of
raising troops ut the topic of a heated
debate between u part of Bentlemen.
Hy worn It was claimed that the 1'enn
s Insula mllltla could be ordered outride
of tho stnto, and by others It was held
that they could not be taken outside the
state except upon re-cnllstment. A little
enlightenment on this subject through
tin, columns of your valuable paper will
be appreciated by n large number of your
readers.
The National Guard can bo ordered
to any part of the Unltl States by the
president to qtttdl a riot, an Insurrec
tion or forelKn Invasion. While the
National Guard was organized pri
marily for the protection of state prop
erty and for upholding law ami order
In the stnte where the Kuardsmnu re
side, tin- president, who Is the coin-niutider-ln-chlef
of th, military forces
of the country, can direct the governor
of a slate to oriK'r tho National Guard
of his cninmonwi'ullli to some distant
part of the Hiilon.
A governor by himself has no author
ity to order state troops outsldo of the
domain ovor which lie governs nor has
thp 1 resident any right to send troops
Into o stati unless th state "authori
ties appeal to the president for old In
putting' down lawlessness. When the
president Is nppeale.V to he can order
the National Guard of any state to the
sci'iie of the trouble by issuing bis or
der to tin- governor of the state from
which the state troop ore drafted.
State troops cannot be ordered out
Mue the Union.

HOW THE QUESTION
SHOULD BE SETTLED
Coals of Fire" Method Proposed at the
Anti-War Meeting.
THEY WERE SINCERE, AT LEAST
In Itcsponso for u Cull lorn Meeting
ot All Citizens Interested 111 Avert
ing a Vur with Sunln Twnlve Men
Gnthcr in All Souls '.'Inirch and Nny
TlilnBH--l)omonstrnllons of An
other Clinrnctor lllsowliorc.
If there Is any great nutnber of per
sons, hereabouts, Interested In the
averting of war with Spain, It was not
evidenced by the nttendnnce nt the
meeting' called to consider means to
that end, at All Soul's Unlversnllst
church, Pino street, last night.
There were Just twelve men present
by actual count, not Including a Tri
bune reporter who was there per com
punction. Owing to the small attonel
nne'o the projector of the meeting,
Thomas k. Stewart, suggested a post
ponement hut Itev. V. W. Whlppen,
pastor eif the church and others thought
that no harm could come of an Informal
discussion of the matter In hand, so
the meeting wns procecdeel with.
At .Mr. Wh'Ippen's suggestion, Mr.
Stewart outllred the Idea ho had in
mind when he was prompted to call the
meeting. Mr, Stewurt did. It was
tills: The time will come when nations
shall no more learn war. The United
States Is big enough nnd now lu a po
sition to take the Initiative lu bringing
about this condition. No matter what
the nutcbme of the Maine inquiry
should be the United States should re
fiain from asking Indemnity from
Spain and should out of its bounty put
a stop to tin- hostilities- In Cuba by
floating a bond Issue and buying from
Spain the freedom of tho Cubans, re
taliation only brings on retaliation.
By one noble, grand, Christian act the
government could avert the Imminent
untold bloodshed and set nil example
that would revolutionize tho civilized
world.
PROPOSITION niSClJSSRD.
Several of those present after a long
t Hence entered Into a calm discussion
of tho proposition. The general trend
ot opinion was that this would ho a
grand nnd devoutly to bo wished for
consummation but no one treated it
from a practical standpoint.
There was one, however, who til el not
believe with Mr. Stewart. He asked
"Would you favor letting all ciimluaht
go unpunished'.'" No one unswered;
not even Mr. Stewart.
'C. S. Benjamin thought that Spain
could be dealt with on a sort of "coals
of lire" plan. "Take no notice of the
blowing up of the Maine, show no re
sentful spirit and do you think Spain
would blow up many more of our
ships'.' No, Indeed," remarked Mr.
Benjamin. 1, J. Richards thought
Spain would blow up our ships as long
as it had powder to do It with, If tho
United States displayed the spirit that
Mr. Benjamin suggested. Mr, Benja
min thought different. "It wouldn't
blow up many," he contented himself
with saying.
"Why, the whole world would laugh
at us If we should pursue such a
course," said Mr. Richards.
"Just us I would laugh at you,"" le-
Jolned Mr. Stewart, "If 1 saw you turn
ing your other cheek after a man hud
slapped you. You would, nevertheless,
he following the divine command."
The reporter left at this juncture to
look up a report that a military com
pany was being recruited In Green
Ridge.
ONIT PARTLY TRUR.
The report of a military company be
ing formed proved, upon investiga
tion, to be only partly true. T. R.
Hughes and one or two others, just to
test the feeling of the neighbors, re
solved upon circulating a paper to as
certain how many would volunteer to
take up arms at a call of the president.
In one hour's time, without going off
Dickson avenue, they obtained the sig
natures of 110 able-bodied men.
Hyde Park has It, too. There were
only six of them and none of them was
over twelve years of r-re, but they
looked real formidable as they paraded
Jackson street during the early even
ing, attired in varl-hued und many
shaped Sunday school entertainment
costumes and bearing tin swords and
wooden guns. It wouldn't do for Spain
to go past their coal sheds.
TRUSTEES MEET TODAY.
Ways nnd Means for Securing New
Armory Will Ho Discussed.
The agitation for a new Thirteenth
regiment armory hns reached a point
where the trustees of the regiment see
the possibility of bringing the matter
about. They will meet at 11 o'clock
this morning in the ofllce of Colonel H.
M. Boles, In the Commonwealth build
ing. The trustees are Colonel Herman Os
thaus, Colonel K. II. Ripple, Colonel H.
M. Boles, Major W, S. Millar and Cap
tain James Molr. The deplorable con
dition of the present tumble-down
structure In which Is quartered the
command which ranks next to the first
of the regiments of the state, nnd the
fear of serious Indifference by the rank
and file In the regiment's welfare was
described at length in an Issue of The
Tribune last week. The companies fol
lowed tho publication of the article
with Individual resolutions.
It Is not certain what the trustees
can do In the matter. They have no
definite plan, but realize that they must
make some kind of effort through the
generosity of the citizens. It Is not the
fault of the trubtees that a new ar
mory has not been built. Twice they
tried to bring it about and would have
succeeded but for the failure of certain
individuals to subscribe a few neces
sary thousand dollars to a largo
amount previously pledged by more
loyal persons.

ho was positive that the lightning rod
was not to be left out, because he re

Posl-Morlem by Coroner Longstrcet
Shows That Remington's Stomach
Was Eaten Through.
Corrosive poison caused the death of
Paul Remington, n middle-aged man,
who died under suspicious circum
stances early Tuesday morning in the
Lackawanna hospital. That was de
termlneel in a post mortem examina
tion hy Coroner Longstreet In the
presence of a Jury at the hospital yes
terday afternoon.
Remington hoarded on Raymond
court between Spruce und Linden
streets. Dr. Webb, of the hospital, was
summoned to see )ilm last week. Rem
ington said he had swallowed a mix
ture of saltpetre and water In mistake
for epsom salts. The contents of the
stomach were' pumped out nnd the
propel remedies prescribed.
On the following day, Wednesday,
Remington applied for admission to
the hospital, and was received there.
He grew worse on Saturday and died
early Tuesday morning.
The autopsy showed a highly ulcer
ated condition of tin stomach. The
mucuous membrane was eaten through
to the muscular structure and gave
ample evidence that saltpetre or some
other corrosive poison had caused
death. The stomach ivas removed and
given to Chemist Benjamin for an
alysis. Remington had no Immediate
family. The body was surrendered to
the Mends with whom he loarded.
The IfKiuest will be held Monday
evening. The juror.s are; Drs. Webb
and Newbury, of the hospital; A. R.
Voorhes, Charles Teeter, A, T. Rayns

For selling ndulterated goods seven
wholesale grocers and twenty-three re
tailers were arraigned before Alderman
Millar yesterday ntternoon, The whole
salers were fined $30 each and the re
tailers were dlschargeel on payment ot
the costs In the respective cases against
them.
Attorney J. II. Shoeninlter, of Phila
delphia, was present to prosecute the
cases for Levi Wells, of Harrlsburg,
dairy and food commissioner, and Rob
ert Simmers, of Phoetilxvllle, special
agent. Mr, Wells and Mr. Simmers
were also present.
The henrlng of tho cases against the
wholesalers was behind closed doors
and In Alderman Millar's private ofllce.
The cases against the retailers were
disposed of in the public court room.
It was proved through Professor
Wells, the chemist employed at the
High school, that goods sold by the
wholesalers had been adulterated. Pep
per contained ground cocoanut shell;
e'offee contained roasted peas, while
ginger, cream of tartar and other gro
cery products, It was proved, were not
pure.
According to a statement made by
Attorney Shoemaker there' was hardly
a wholesale or retail grocery dealer In
the city who had not been selling, un
consciously perhaps, Impure staple gro
ceries. It is the purpose of Agent Simmers
to return to Scranton early next month
nnd prosecute other dealers whose
goods are now being analyzed by the
chemist. Professor Wells. Those who
have already been arraigned before Al
derman Millar will not lie immune from
re-arrest. There will be prosecutions
In Scranton, Agent Simmers says, as
long ns adulterated goods are sohl here.
It was remarked yesterday by those
connected with the prosecution that the
penalties Imposed upon the whole
salers would probably he chargeil by
the latter against the Importers and
Jobbers from whom they purchased the
goods. Retailers would, It was said,
hold the wholesalers responsible for
fines imposed on the former. Thus, the
source of the trouble, the importers
and Jobbers, would have to guarantee
the absolute purity of their goods or
not make any sales.

Great musicians use Klmballs. The
testimony of musicians who command
a salary of from $1,000 to $2,000 for each
performance must be accepted as hav
ing weight. They, at least, escape the
charge of not knowing what they are
talking about, Lillian Nordlca says:
"The more I use my Kimball piano tho
better I like It." Jean De Reszke says:
"We have concluded to purchase Kim
ball pianos for our personal use." John
Philip Sousa claims: "The Kimball
piano Is first-class In every respect."
Some of the most beautiful cases In
walnut, mahogany and oak can be seen
here. I have some fine large pianos,
all colors, from $250 to $350. on easy
terms, and a term of lessons free.
