U was the Duli'h of l'enn nylvnnla who named Wavlilngton "the Father of his Cuiimrv," the title lout: before borne by William the Silent. In his relation to Free Xetheilnnd. It may Interest those who ute assembled here at this bunouet to know that William IVnn was the son of a Ilutch moth-l'. and thiu. the Dutch of Pennsylvania are, many of them. descendants of those who poured h6 nil-earn of their life Into tills country for the support of liberty. Threo itreat streams of influ ence entered Into the development of the United States of America In Us tlrst hundred years. The Knslish. the Putcli, and the Scotch-Irish. All these sue essentially one In their uiiulii, In their traditional love of liberty. In their intense Protectant principles, and In their general view of fieedoin of coii pelence. freedom of speech, and free dom of manhood. Combined In this western woiM, and reinforced by other kindred typs from Kurope, they haw carried on a conflict which was begun between men of Latin and flermanle ideas centuries ago. When Holland and Kngland clashed witli Spain, the great typical Ideas of the (lermanic and Latin races came into collision, to llslit, as we may iuy. to the death. Through these hundreds of years.the steady gain has been on the side of the Germanic, or as we sometimes call them, the Anglo-Saxon peoples. Willie the fcitln races have as steadily declined in pres tige and in power. This-' year, 180S, has witnessed the Inst phase of that struggle. Spain, which at the time tho Pilgrims landed In Massachusetts, ex orcised its tyranny over a great share of the known world, beaten by Holland, and by Knglaud in earlier struggle1, has at length received her death-blow at the hand of a nation compounded from its origin, until today, of the same Germanic elements. The principles of William of Orange and the Netherlands, flist transported to America by the Pilgrims of Ply mouth, have just received their final vindication at Manila and Santlago.and Spain, their, persecutor then, fierce and cruel even In Its dying struggles three hundred years later, has descended to a tyrant's grave. RECORD OF THE SOCIETY. Particulars of Its Career for the Last Twelve Years. From a very modest beginning the New Kngland society of Northeastern Pennsylvania 1ms grown to he known ns one of the most distinguished or ganlzatlons.of Its kind in the state. In fact few New Knglr.ud societies of cit ies of the size of Scranton can boast cf a. permanency more, assured, of a more Influential personnel or of more Inher ent patriotic spit it.

PA. NO FAITH CURE ABOUT STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS- They Cure Stomach Tioubles and In digestion Anyway, Whethev You Have Faith In Them or Not. Meie faith will not digest your food for you, will not give you an appetite, will not Increase yutir tlush and strengthen your nerves and heart, but Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do these things, because they ate com posed of the elements of digestion, they contain the Juices, acids and pep tones necessary to the digestion und assimilation of all wholesome food. Stuntt's Dyspetwla. Tablets will di gest food if placed In n jar or bottle In wuter heated to !8 degrees, and they will do It much more effectively when taken Into the stomach after meals, whether you have faith that they will or not. They Invigorate the stomach, make pure blood and strong nerves, in the only way that nature can do it, and that Is. ftoni plenty of wholesome food well digested. It is not what we eat. but what we digest that does us good. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by nearly all druggists at ."0 cents for full sized package, or by mall from the I A. Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich. niep' during It- tlrst few veur.s of ex istence, but several years ngo that stage war patsed and Its system of banquet-giving and custom of annual social procedure became so well estab lished under the ability and prestige of prominent men ns otllcers that It ha coin" to stay for an Indefinite period.

The ISRV officers were re-elected for the year following, when the banquet was held In Frothliigham's Arcade on Dec. 20. In t ha t year. 1SS0, it was de cided to extend the privileges of mem bership to Susquehanna, Wayne and Luzerne counties. In 1S0O William T. Smith succeeded to the presidency and J. A. Lansing became vice-president. Since then It has been the custom to advance the vice-president at the close of his term to the presidency. The banquet In 18'JO was held at the Scranton Ulcycle club house. Then, for the first time, mem bers were given the privilege of pro curing one guest ticket each. The price was then J3.C0 for a guest ticket, al though the cost to the members per plate was never less thnn i. The price has been raided until now the fee Is S5 for a guest or member and any number of guests can be Invited, accordlnt' to a resolution adopted lu 1891. In 1S91 J. A. Lansing became presi dent and James H. Torrey, vice-president. The spread was again served at the hcrantim Rlcycle club house and two new counties, Montoo and Wyom ing, making six In nil, were given privi leges of membership.

There Is a difference of opinion us to what Is the real date of forefathers' day. An authority says It Is "the an niversary of the day (Dec. 21, 1620) on which the Pilgrims, or tltst settlers, landed at Plymouth, Mass., annually celebrated In New England and by New Englanders elsewhere. Owing to an er ror In changing the date from the old style to the. new, the anniversary was formerly celebrated on Dec. 2L" Tin! New Englnud association of Northeastern Pennsylvania has made use of either, according to the circum stances which prevailed In different years. The society's otllcers, however. Incline to the opinion that the 22d Is tne correct dale. THE OFFICERS. Those Prominently Associated with the Dinner and ArVangements.
