TRRNOON AT THU SAME PLACR. In I ho Roard of Trade rooms yester day afternoon the first meeting of the Rtrcutlvo committee of the Soldleis' Relief association was held. At Mon day night's meeting ot the Roard ot Trade the advisability of taking some action to raise funds to assist needy families of men who have enlisted In the set vice of the Unlted States was coii'ldeied nnd the general scopo ot su.-h an organization was discussed. A motion was passed directing Presi dent Luther Keller to appoint a com mittee of nine of which tho president and the secictary of tho lioard, D. R Athertoii, should be membtrs, to act as an executive committee for the pro posed assoclalon As members ot this committee Mi. Keller named Hon Al fred Hand, Captain W. A. May, Hon. John R. Fair, C.

All of the members of the committee were piesent yestetday save Mr. Man vllle, nnd he sent woid that he will be glad to act on the committee, although not ablo to be piesent yestoulay. 'I he meeting of tho committee was called to older by Mr. Keller, who outlined In a geneial way tho object of the asso ciation. It will endeavor to provide for tho needy families of enlisted men, cerve as a means of communication be tween the leglment nnd tho lelatlvcs of the men In this city; lteep a correct list of the soldiers from this part of tho stale; provide leading matter nnd do what It can to have the sick and in Jined cared for as well as furnishing delicacies and proper nourishment foi the sick. OFFICERS CHOSEN. The work of forming an organization wns perfected by selecting Hon. Alfred Hand, piesldent; Captain May. lce picsldent, D. R. Atherton, secretary, and C. G. Roland, tieasurer. It wns decided that tho oiganization should embrace the entlie territory covered by the Thirteenth regiment and eftorts will bo made to have citi zens of Montiose and Honesdale co-op-crate in ho work. Tho local organiza tion will be an ".uxlllaiy of the Nation al Soldiers' Relief association, with headciuarteis at Philadelphia, at the head of which is Rev. Dr. McCook, Aichbishop Ryan and many other brainy, bioatl-mlndcd men of national prominence. The organization Is In no sense denominational or sect.ulan. It is as broad as dimity and its foima tion w as sugge ste d sole ly by the noblest patilotlsm It was at Hist suggested that It act as an auxiliary to the Red Cioss '-ocletv, but after consultation with President McKlnley nnd othe ofticlals of the eountiy It was decided to rrako tho Relief association a separ ate organic itlon, hut have it woik in harmony with the Red Cioss. Stcretary Atherton was instructed to wilts to the officers ot tho National as sociation and get all the Information possible with rcfetenco to it. This will be lai 1 before the committee at Its next meeting on Thursday, May 2! The sciotaiy was also Insttucied to wilte to the olllcers of the vailous benevolent, pattiotlc nnd chai liable socleitles of tho city and cik for subscriptions to the relief fund as well a 4 for a general co-opciailon with tne association in tho work It has undei taken. TWO CASES REPORTED.

Conind Sehroeder, C. G. Ro land anil Luther Keller bubscilbed $23 each. A finance committee consisting of Mr Pchioeder, Mr. Roland nnd Captain May was appointed to lecelve and sol icit subscriptions. They will acknowl edge the same through tho columns of the newspapeis of the city. An appeal to the public will be piepaied within .a day or two, formally stating the objects of the association :md psking for as sistance in carrying out the woik pro posed. The aFsoclatlon will unquestionably bo .a success and do a valuable and ne cessary work. The members of the ex ecutive committee are among the city's most representative cltl.ens and they have taken up the work with the en ergy and vim that is characteristic of Seiantonlans. PATRIOTIC MEETING. Conducted In tbe Parlors of tbe Green Ridge Presbyterian Ch,irch"-Fea tures of tbe Programmi. The pietty pallors of tho Green Ridge Piesbyterian ehuich weio filled with ninny members of the Young Men's union nnd their friends last .evening. A most interesting pro- gi annuo was rendered nnd, though the lalns descended and the Hoods came, theie v, as no intu minion to tho en joyment of the occasion. Rev. Dr. Lansing pieslded over tho meeting, which hail been announced as a patti otlc one. A quartette, consisting of Messis. Whlttcnjore, Wlncke, D. J. Phillips and Roberta sang with lino effect. Prof J. R. Hawker gave a bilef and entertaining summniy of the Ameii-can-Spanish war up to date. George B Davidson spoke in an interesting way of the Anglo-American ulllance, believing It to be a good thing intel hctually and morally, but not to bo used aggressively. He quoted Di. Ab bot, in the North Ameilcan Review, as expiesslng his own opinions. Dr. Lansing lead Alfred Austin's poim on this subject, and also gave an Intensely interesting nddress, clos ing with a list of "Possibilities of This Wur." In these were summed up the statements that Pottugal can bo count ed with Spain, while all monarchlal governments look upon our system with aversion. Italy dislikes us bo cnuso bo many Italians have sought refuge here and because fit tho mis undet standing concerning the New Or- leans matter and also because of tho Austrian alliance. Austria is averso to us- Tjecauso tlie Spanish queen regent Is an Austrian. Austria Is ultra monntchlat, resents tho fact that her subjects take icfugo here, nnd also our hostility to Maxi milian tn Mexico. Germany holels the llrst reasons above, nnd also has a commercial hostility. Her war spltlt Is based on self-conlldenco In her army, nnd she is also an ally of Austila. Plane e is our heiedltury ally, but as a ciedltor of Spain Is tctnpoinrlly hos tile. Russia has been our filend foi many years, but Is nntuially hostile to republics and hates Great Britain, supposed to bo our friend, England has never in any former emergency been our filend, but now, needing to strengthen heiself, will probably bo our ally only for her own advantage, nt the pi lee of our accept ing her Idens of commercial inter change. An Interesting exposition of tho pres ent situation between the poweis fol lowed, after which the speaker said that none of these nations nre friendly to thu struggle of men who would thtow off tyianny, and can have no sympathy with us In our undei taking in behalf of Cuba. It Is possible that Germany may sup poit Spain as she has Turkey, and tint our ships may have to contend with her trained artillerymen rather than with Spnnlsli gunners. France, for financial reasons, will co-operate with Germany. Grenj Britain will offer her aid to us on conditions not In accord with our traditions. Russia will take tho opposite side to Gie.it Biltain and will seek to take Constantinople. Thus two bundled millions of Mohammed ans under British rule may bo aroused and cast Asia and Afilca Into war. What thai can lie counted on among the humnn agencies for the suppott of the United States nnd Great lliit aln? First the people, the Republi cans of these other lands, also the abil ity of the best educated, the best thought unions mankind against ty ranny. Japan must heie be leckoned as the ally of piogiess. At the Hist tho nntlons best prcpaied for war would gain the advantage, but the fleet of England can bo counted against Uio ainilcs of Fiance. In two years we shall bo trausfoiined Into a military nntlon. Peace will come at length with an linpiovement of the condition of all the nations and a telatlvo decrease of the power of their rulers. At the conclusion of Dr. LanMng's temaiks a bilef social was held, after which Mr W Archer Jones gave char acter sketches abounding In patilot lsm, and the quartette sang Patriotic alls were sung by the assembly, and tho meeting adjourned SERMON TO THE KNIGHTS Delivered by Rev.
