They Imagined that "Cholly" and 'Fwtd-

Would faint ut the drop of a hat!
But let them look thcro In the ditches,
Blood-stained by the swells In tho van.
And know that a chap may havo riches
And still be a man!
They said that we'd wilt under fire,
And run If tho foeman said "Boo!"
But a fellow may have a rich sire
And still bo a imtilot. too!
Look there whero we met twice our num.

Where the life-blood of dudes drenched

The swells who lie In their last slumber
Provo what we aro worth!
They laughed when we satd we were go

We might do at tennis or ruwlng,
But ns warriors! oh, no not at all!

And learn that a chap may havo rlcncs
And still bo a man!

Rev. Dr. O. M. Glffln will leave tomor
row for New York, preparatory to his
foreign trip. He will sail on tho Wncs
land, of the Belgian line, from Philadel
phia on Saturday. He was to have falld
on the Mobile, but ns that vessel has
Just been purchased by tho rovLramcnt.
Ms plans have been radically chunged
and it will be necessary for him to take
r much longer sea vojage than ho nad
expected. His return will alco bo uncer
tain, owing to tho omnlverous instinct
suddenly developed by this nation In the
way of grabbing vessels. The last for
eign journey taken by Pr. Glffln was in
l)3 and la one memorable not only to
frwK -- et.j.1.. Jtufrr!TrSif
him for many who went through the
tprtlbto experience In common with tho
pastor of 121m Park church, lie was on
the lll-fiitcd City of Chicago, which was
dashed to pieces on tho Irish coast one
awful night In n fog, Tho clllf was three
hundieU feet high, nnd denth seemed
certain. Tho doctor escaped by means of
a lopo ladder mitpendcd ftom tho rorks
nnd was scarcely In tlmo to see tho cs
fcrt part mill disappear beneath tho
waves. Oddly enough tho engineer, who
was n foimer pnrlihloner and who di
rected him to tho boat and probably was
tho moans of saving his life, now occu
pies u similar position on tho Wncsland,
and Dr. Olllln looks forward with much
pleasuro to icnouiug tho acquaintance.
Tho doctor will remain nbroad until Sep
tember. Much of tho tlmo will bo spent
In London and vicinity. Including tho Islo
of Wight, while a study of Winchester
cnthedr.il will be among tho pleasures of
his stay. Mrs. (llffln and son. William,
will spend much of tho summer at Chau
tauqua and Capo May.
Up In nochestcr. N. Y they arc getting
heartily sick of tho remnant of the band
of ball players who last year gave tho na
tional game a fatal blow In this city. Not
many members of tho old Scranton
club remain most of them having been re
IcaKCd slnco tho club was transferred to
Rochester. Others are slated to go. Hero
Is what tho Herald of that city said yes
terday: "There It going to bo considerable
change In tho personnel of tho Itoehester
team, nnd that beforo any great length
of time. Tho first Indication of that camo
last night when Mnnagcr Finn farmed
Pitcher Ycrkrs to Cortland. Thcro aro
also other changes contemplated. It
would not be advisable to stato who tho
players aro concerned, but anyono who
saw tho game played hero yesterday
ought to bo pretty near able to pick out
two or threo that should get tho mitten
without any further ado. It H likely
that Donnelly may bo put In tho gamo
soon to play at third, but that does not
mean tho displacement of Kelster. Tho
trouble arising over tho liens which havo
been filed on Culver Field will probably
bo disposed of shortly. A meeting of tho
magnates will tuko place soon In this
rlty nnd they aro likely to stay hero un
til things are straightened out and every
thing running smoothly."
The Democrat nnd Chronicle of
Rochester comments on tho situation as
follows:
"Tho general opinion Is that thcro
should bo another chango In tho tram.
Tho men, as a rulo cannot bat. T!ean in
picking up In hitting apparently. Ho and
McIIalo got fclx of the seven hits made.
Bonner was useless nt critical points,
and tho Impression Is fixed that his big
overage of hiHt year was tho result of
n partial scorer. Everyone clso was aln
weak at the bat, Boyd, who had not been
In tho gamo up to that point, scoring a
slnlo in tho ninth. Tho cranks nio now
anxious to sec Donnelly ut third base,
with Kclstcr at second, where ho is tup
posed to be, r.nd other changes made.
Any ball critic knows whero tho weak
men on tho team nre. Bean Is generally
considered to be the only man whoso
Holding Is of such a iiature ns to excusj
weak batting, nnd he Is steadily improv
ing in this icipect."
"An unusual and pathetic flag raising
took place hero yesterday In rompllanco
with tho dying request of a soldier," says
tho Plttston correspondent of tho Wilkes
Barro Record In yesterday's issue of that
paper. "There wero tears instead or
Eongs, sorrow Instead of Joy and bitter
thoughts Instead of speeches. Corpornl
Gllmartin, who died recently of typhoid
fever at Chlckamauga, wrote homo short
ly beforo Ills death, requesting his father
and ono of his uncles to elect a flag pole
In front of his homo nnd on the glorious
Fourth to fling to tho breezo tho Stars
nnd Stripes. Ho designated a trco which
ho had seen In tho woods in tho vicinity
of his homo and which ho thought would
mako an excellent flag pole, and wroto
of his lovo for that flag. His father and
undo accordingly procured tho polo and
flag, erected the polo in front of the
house and had arranged to raise tho flag
with the usual happy ceremonies. But
tho hand of death intervened, and al
though the flag was raised In compliance
with the wishes of tho dead boy, it was
a solemn and pathetic ceremony. Tho
body will arrive today and the funeral
will tako placo tomororow morning."

NATIONAL GUARD
BEING REORGANIZED
Work In Scranlon Conducted by Major
Simon D, Cameron.
I IB IS 0NT2 OF THE GOVERNOR'S
STAFF AND IS ACCOMrANIKD
linilE nY DR. HALHCRSTADT,
MAJOR AND SURGF.ON, AND SER
GEANT RICE - FUTURE QUO
TAS FOR GOVERNMENT TO BE
DRAWN FROM NATIONAL GUARD
VOLUNTEERS.
The work of organizing a Pennsylva
nia Nntlonnl Guard regiment, with
headquarters In this city, to take the
place of the Thirteenth, was begun nt
the armoty on Adams avenue last
night by Major Simon B. Cameron, of
Harrlsburg. With lilm aro Dr. George
II. Hnlberstadt, of Pottsvllle, mnjor
nnd surgeon of the Third brigade, and
Sergeant Harry D. Rice, of Lebanon,
quartermaster sergeant of the Third
brigade.
Major Cameton enrolled thirty-two
men for Company D last night. Ho
hopes to entoll the required minimum
of flftv-threo men per company, A, B,
C and D. swear them Into the state's
service and conduct their elections by
Friday night. Thcbe four will he
Scranton rompunles, to comprise the
First battalion. The Second battalion
will bi compostil of one company each
from Honesdnle, Stroudslnirg, Easton
and Allentown.
Tonight and Thursday nnd Fridny
nlghtB, men will be enrolled as pre
sented by tho accredited persons now
nt work on the preliminary organiza
tion of the four commands. "When the
enrollment for any company has
leached the required minimum number,
flfty-threo, they will be stforn In as a
body.
Major Cameron's orders do not di
rect him to recognize any commis
sioned officer of the old Thirteenth. In
fnct, according to the view held nt
Harrlsburg, there aro no commissioned
or other officers of tho regiment, it
having ceased to exist at Mt. Gretna.
Captains, lieutenants and otheis re
jected by the government recruiting
officers or who declined to volunteer
ceased to be officers when their com
mand went out of existence. The fact
that their commissions have not ex
pired, cuts no figure In the reorganiza
tion. That much was told to a Tri
bune reporter by Major Cameron last
night.
COMPANY ELECTIONS.
After the minimum number for a
company have been enrolled they will
be sworn In as privates and in a body
for three years, and without recuvd to
previous rank. Major Cameron will
Immediately proceed with the election.
The whole flfty-threo will elect three
of their number captain, first lieuten
ant and second lieutenant. The elec
tion will be properly certified by Major
Cameron and forwarded to Harrlsburg
for formal approval. When this np
provnl Is given tho elected officers will
appoint their non-coms.
Men desirous of entering tho volun
teer United States army as officers or
privates will find the reorganized Na
tional Guard the quickest route. This
la true as far as Pennsylvania Is con
cerned, for In the orders from Harrls
burg providing for the reorganization
It is laid down that members of the
guard will be given the preference
when Governor Hastings receives thn
president's cxnected call for a Penn
sylvania quota.
This step ftom the Guard to tho
regular army will not bo in any sense
compulsor. That much wilt ip told
thomen when thev are sworn in. It
Is further rromlsed that under the
next call the guard will not be mobil
ized at Mt Gretna. The remiitlng
from its ranki to tho volunteer army
service will o made at h ire. Tho
vacant places in the Guard will lie
filled nnd those who do not wish to
volunteer will remain in tho Gunrd,
which will continue In service at home
and will not lose Its Identity as a state
oiganlzatlon. From now on the bat
talion to lie organized here, for in
stance, will Indefinitely continue to
exist.
The old rule, or law, will prevail,
which provides for $000 to he furnished
by tho stato for the equipment of each
company. This, of course, does not
apply to arms and accoutrements,
which will he furnished in addition to
the company allowance of $300.
THE MEN ACCEPTED.
Of the flftv-one men enrolled by the
local promoters of Company D, thirty
two were accepted by Major Cameron
and his examining surgeon, Major
llalberstndt. Following are their
names:
Edwin L. Anderson, F. A. Branda, Dr.
John C. Batcson, L. R. Bartz, Harry J.
Bacon, T. J. Barrett, Arehlo Cranston,

lichcr. Frank F. Sehuler. Cliailes H,
Scharlt, Harry B. Stanton, Roger
Thomas.
Fremont Stokes vill bo elected enp
taln, F. A. Branda first lieutenant and
C. F. Pross second lieutenant of Com
pany D. As explained In tho forego
ing, however, theso threo prospective
officers nnd those Intended for other
companies will bo sworn In ns pri
vates and will havo no claim to titles
or commissions until their several elec
tions have ben approved at Hanls-
burg.
Ex-Captain .'iimes O. Blmmick. cx
Flrst Lieutenant Geo and ex-Second
Lieutenant Thayer, of oi2 Company A,
arc arranging ft,.' tho organization of
a company to be designated by the old
letter and will bo elected to their for
mer respective' offices. Major AV. S.
Millar lias been asked to command
Company B, which will have ex-Lleu-tenant
Scott for Its second tanking of
ficer. Ex-First Lieutenant AV. A. Rnuh
Is Intended for tho captaincy of Com
pany C. which will bo largely composed
of ex-Company F men. AVest Slders,
nnd cx-membors of Company C.
The important post of colonel has not
been formally consldeied though It has
been the topic of much Informal tulle
among thoso who expect to become
commissioned officers and amonp: other
notable cx-membeis of the Thirteenth.
It Is the belief that In making tho se
lection which is determined by voto
of the lino officers tho Honcsdale offi
cers will, on account of that town's
geographical, business and social affin
ity with Scranton, voto with tho Hcian
ton officers lit case of a contest. That
would Insure tho election of a colonel
to be suggested by the First battalion
officers and the Honesdalo officers, of
the Second battalion.
While several posslblo colonels havo
been suggested, none linn been con
sidered with moro favor than Hon. L.
A. AVnlres. It would be difficult for
him to decline the post In tho face of
tho many ronsoiw offered, evidencing
life fitness for tho office. It is argutd
that ho Is, first of nil, a splendid citi
zen soldier. Is physically qualified nnd
ft person of Influence nnd Independent
fortune, each of which has Its value In
a regiment's commanding officer. He
Is an ex-officer of tho regiment.

AT PRESTON PARK.
iHnnuer In Which tho Fourth of July
Was Cclebrntnd--f5ucti
nt tho Lodge.
The Lodge at Preston Park opened
July 1 and the wnrm weather sent
somo fifty or sixty people up there
from Scranton and Carbondale to en
joy the cool breezes from the twin
lakes as they blow across tho bioad
porches.
The Sabbath was passed quietly: no
boats on the lake, no flrecrackets even.
Morning prayers were held In the as
sembly room, led by Elder Dickson.
Monday morning camo a change. A
patriotic neighbor fired a salute to the'
rising sun, Hung the American flag to
tho winds and played "St. Patrick's
Day In the Morning" on his accordeon.
This was a signal for the small boy
and his crackers. At 10 o'clock all
gathered In the assembly room. Word
had Just come that Sampson had de
stroyed the Spanish fleet and that
Shatter had demanded the surrender
of Santiago. The news was so good
that nil united in singing "Old Hun
dred," led by Miss Caro Dickson.
Major J. B. Fish was elected chair
man and was escorted to tho chair by
T. J. Foster and AV. W. AA'atson. J. H.
Fisher was elected secietary. Tho
company sang "Yankee Doodle." Then
Elder C. AV. Klrkpatrlck, of the house
committee, opened tho meeting with
prayer, after which the Preston Park
orchestra played the "Stars nnd
Stripes," in which the Messrs. Taylor
acquitted themselves with great credit.
Elder T. F. AVells read the Declara
tion of Independence and A. AA. Dick
son, in rising to give the address of tho
day, called for tluec cheers for the
chairman, a veteran of the War of the
Rebellion. These wero given with a
will by all present, standing.
Mr. Dickson In his address briefly
spoke of the declaration of the right of
all men to freedom: the war of Inde
pendence to establish our own liberty;
the AVar of the Rebellion to establish
the liberty of the slave.and lastly.of our
present war to bring about the free
dom of Cuba. At the conclusion of his
speech he reclvcd three cheers and a
tiger. Then thieo cheers were given
for President McKlnley.
All present united in singing "Tho
Star Spangled Banner," led by Mr.
AVells, nnd "My Country, 'Tis of Thee."
Albert AVatson recited "Tho Liberty
Bell" In a strong, stirring manner, and
Mr. Dickson's reading of "Dooley's
Letter" brought the Fourth of July
celebration at Preston Paik to a close.
It was one of those happy impromptu
occasions which was thoroughly en
Joyed by everyone present.

never came to Scranton buyers before. We've bought a carload and
bought them cheaper than chairs are usually bought. This is how it
happened. New York State's largest chair factory loses one of its part

on the market at about hall price to those who could buy in carload lots.
We couldn't resist the prices. Can you ? Here's a few :
