Many telegrams and letters from dis tinguished out-of-town friends were re ceived.

The house, which Is one of the show places of this legion, was lavishly de corated In every available space. Many bouquets of fifty golden roses paid their sweet tribute to the occasion.

COURSEN RESIGNS. All Other Thirteenth Regiment Officers Will Follow His Ex ample Reorganization Is Fairly Well Assured. Colonel Henry A. Coursen, com mander of tho Thirteenth regiment, yesterday relinquished his commission, and bet ore the week Is over all the other olileers of the Thirteenth will have folluwed his example. This step has been decided upon as a means of encouraging tho reorganization of tho command. It will leave the companies with full power to choose whatever line officers they wish, nnd the surrender of the commissions of the field and staff will make more convenient the amal gamation with the Eleventh, which must needs come when tho new Na tional Guard is formed. Colonel Coursen had an additional motive In tendering his resignation. He would, to say the least, stand in lino for the appointment to the coloneey of the new regiment. This would leave Colonel Watres outside the guard al together. In six months Colonel Cour sen's commission would expire and there would be the possibility of the officers centering on some one of their own number as Colonel Coursen's suc cessor in preference to going outside the guard for a colonel. Colonel Coursen Is very anxious to have Colonel Watres In command of the local regiment. It Is conceded everywhere that he Is the best avail able man that can be picked upon for thi position. Colonel Watres Is an en thuslastir guardsman and favorably disposed towards taking charge of the new regiment and getting It Into shape, onerous though the task will undoubt edly bo. In view of all this, Colonel Coursen has decided to forego the en joyment of the remaining six months of his term and thereby leave Colonel Watres in possession of the ranking commission In this part of the state. Colonel Coursen will not, however, re nounce the guard entirely. lie will do all In his power to bring nbout tho re organization of the Thirteenth regi ment companies, so that the new regi ment will be a ptnely local affair, as was the Thirteenth. After having ac complished his part In this, he will give up his militia work, satisfied, as ho well may be, with his quarter of a cen tury of active service. Colonel Coursen Is satisfied that at least four of the Thirteenth regiment companies will be reorganized. Com pany G has already gotten Into line and was sworn In by Colonel Coursen last Friday night. Companies C and D are about ready to be mustered In and Company F, of the West Side, holds a meeting tomorrow night for tho pur pose of effecting reorganization. Any guardsmen who enlisted as a volunteer and who will re-enllst In the National Guard before the reorganiza tion Is effected will be credited with continuous service. Colonel Coursen has been Informed, the company command ers having been given authority to date back his enlistment so that It will come within the "sixty dnys" limit. AN INTERESTING EXHIBIT. One of the most unique displays In many a day may be witnessed this week at The Leader in the shape of an Immense manufacturing booth, con taining a large number of the em ployes of the Scranton foctory of D.

C5 1 3GCKatt0S)3CK$X JttiiSK?K5 MENTION OF SOME MEN OF THE HOUR TWO HARD LEGAL BATTLES WON BY MAJOR WARREN. Ono Was tho Case of Denier Against tho Scranton Railway Company, and the Other tho Scranton Gas and Wator Company Against tho Northorn Coal and Iron Company. Dr. B. O. Ericsson Will Leave To day for Northwood, South Dakota. Two of the big legal victories of last week were credited to Major Everett Warren. Ho represented the Scranton Hallway company In tho caso of Mleh nel Denier and succeeded in securing a verdict for the company after a hard fought legnl battle. Tho caso contain ed some unusual features that will make It a much quoted one In future. The end of It Is not yet, of course Mr. Denler's attorneys will, In all prob ability, apply for a new trial and n Is very probable the caye will event ually be pu-ssed upon by the supremo court before the legal end of tho case will have arrived. Th other victory was In the case of the Scranton Gas nnd Water com pany against the Northern Coal and Iron company. Major Warren repre sented the plaintiff company and, though worsted In tho loenl court, ho did not lose faith In the merltn of his case and promptly took an appeal to the supreme court, where he argued the case In February, 1S0S. Slajor Warren was assisted In the argument before the supreme court by Attorney David T. Watson, who was ono of the attorneys for Senator Quay in the now famous prosecution ogatnst that noted personage. Sir. Watson was offered a place on tho superior bench by Governor Stone after the death of Justice Williams, but refused the proffered honor. Ho is one of the most prominent lawyers of the western part of the state and maltcs his homo In Pittsburg. SInJor Warren ranks as one of the best lawyers In tliJs part of the state. Few big civil cases are tried in this county that he Is not engaged In and he Is frequently called to try impor tant cases in neighboring counties. One ot the greatest tributes to Slajor War ren's ability Is that which Is perhaps unconsciously paid him by members of tne bar. When he Is engaged In the trial of a case there Is always an at tentive audience of lawyers to watch the progress of tho case. Law suits in which the major is engaged are sel dom dull and are always thoroughly tried. No point is neglected. lie Is a hard, vigorous fighter and knows every detail of his cose thoroughly when ho goes Into court. It is almost Impossible to take him by surprise, no matter what kind of a turn the caso takes. He seems always prepared for any emergency. Among members of the bar it is generally conceded that Sir. Warren will eventually becomeone of the judges of tho Lackawanna county courts If his ambition runs In that direction. It would undoubtedly be a sacrifice In a monetary way for him to go on the bench. His income as an attorney Is generally believed to be several times as large as the salary the state pays the common pleas Judges, but lawyers have been known before this to leave emoluments out of the consideration of the case when there was a demand for them to go on the bench. The friends of Dr. B. O. Krlcsson in Moscow and this city will regret to learn of his departure this evening for the west. He leaves on the C.S0 train for Northwood, North Dakota, where he Intends to continue In tho practice of his profession, In which he achieved such marlwd success In tills city and for the last year or more In SIoscow. Dr. Ericsson Is well known In this city, having been for some years associated with Dr. Leet. Immediately after his graduation from Jefferson Medical college, Phila delphia, he was offered tho position of house surgeon at the Sloses Taylor hospital, In which position ho soon dis tinguished himself. About a year and a half ago he resigned this position against the protests of nearly every physician and surgeon on the staff to commence practice for himself at SIos cow. Ho is an active student and up-to-date. He filled a much needed want at SIoscow, where his services were greatly appreciated, and leaves many friends In this city and at SIos cow who wish him unbounded success In his new field which his talent and ability deserve. Dr. Ericsson is a native of Finland and achieved some distinction there be fore he came to this country. North wood, which will bo tho scene of his future labors, has been seeking to secure him for some time. It Is a Scandinavian community. lie speaks the language of these people perfectly.
