GREAT ARMY
OF POSTMEN
(Continued from Pago 6.
Koclutlon nnil paid a high tribute to
the worth and Intelligence of Frank K.
limits, organizer nnil lender of the Mall
Carriers' bands In New York, Jersey
City and Newark, nnd In behalf of the
members of the three organizations ho
liicscnted Mr, IIoutH with a gold cor
net, made by C. 0. Coon, of New York.
The recipient was too much overcome
to speak nnd received the congratula
tions of Postmaster General Smith,
Governor Stone und Superintendent
Mnchcn before leavlnrj tho platform.
The band played "The Georgia Camp
Meeting" as he wnlked from the stage.
Moverimriitono was the next speaker,
and he said he wns very much grati
fied at everything, and everybody he
had seen, and pleased ut what lie had
hoard during tin- day. lie learned
some things, too, he said. He did not
know that the letter carriers organ
ized bands, but hud heard that the
New York force had a glee club, but
was not surprised that they did not
bring them along after hearing "these
Welshmen slug." referring to tho
Seranton Glee club.
Mr. Stone said he would rather hear
the glee club sing than to hear himself
speak, and he was of tho opinion that
there were others In the audience who
shared the same opinion. Hut behind
all he hud seen, lie said, wtiB evidences
of success. When he saw the mailmen
march he wondered at their not being
connected with the National Guard.
Everybody Is glad to see the letter
carrier, especially when they bring let
ters, he sold. The governor referred
to the accuracy of th- postman In de
livering mall and cited tin Instance
where n letter was addressed to him
simply bearing the name of the street
he resided on. n small stone was tied
to the envelope. He also referred to
the letters that were sent and received
luring the wnr of '65, and said they
w( re the means of keeping the army tip
and keeping the soldiers nt 'the front.
"H It hadn't been for the letters," Mr.
Stone said, "all the boys would have
retuzved home." Who can estlmato
the comfort and sympathy of letters,
nnd who can estimate the sorrow, re
gret and misery they bring," he said.
It Is the greater mystery to the gov
ernor how letters get to hlni, In said,
but in closing ho took opportunity to
tell the people that It isn't often he
gets nn opportunity to talk to such nn
audience. Uusually, he said, he talked
against the wind out doors.
He was glad tho mayor waited until
after everything possible had been
taken at Harrisburg before mention
ing that the citizens of s'cranton could
got what thev wanted. "VVhoifhc be
gan to stop speaking, he- said, it was
hard to do It. and concluded with a
reference to the man who went out
to kill a bear, but when the animal
clasped his paws around him, he called
to his wife to come out and help him
let go of the bear. The address wns
well received nnd Governor Stono
stamped himself a great favorite with
the audience.
"Down Dewey's Way," John Courier
Morris' stirring composition, was sung
bv the glee club, Messrs. Watkns,
Stevens, Jones and Heyon singing tho
solo parts. The next speaker was
Superintendent Machen, who said he
wns pleased to attend the reception
and thought that Seranton was a re
velation to the visitors.
The public buildings, school houses,
business blocks and paved street! were
In conformity with first class cities.
His address was mainly In relation
to the work of the association and the
postal service, and Incidentally stated
that Postmaster General Smith was
the most solicitous head of the depart
ment for the welfare of the men that
he had known since he was In the ser
vice. A. J. Colborn was the la3t speaker and
his address teemed with patriotism. He
spoke of the women who were Instru
mental In making the carriers demon
stration a success and who have made
the carriers what they are. The great
est battle ever fought, ho said, was
fought by the mothers of men In tho
Journey from the cradle to the grave.
Mr. Colborn said lie believes In the
American republic and he has no pa
tience with the men who try to sup
press the tlag where God has destined
it to be placed, nnd wherever It was It
is your emblem and mine..
Tho meeting was brought to a close
shortly after U o'clock with the singing-
of "The Star Spangled Banner" by
the Glee club and the audience accom
panied by the letter carriers' band.

Tho length of the progrnmmo nt the
reception In the high school delayed the
banquet nnd It was not unll 11:30
o'clock that the dining began nnd 12:43
when tho tonatlng wns commenced.
Postmaster Genera Smith nnd Gov
ornnr Stone, who nre to be In the G. A.
R. parade thlsmoinlngnt 9 o'leock wow
compelled to leave hero at 1 o'clock
nnd as they had to quit the banquet at
1I:E0. Toastmnster J. It. Torrey called
n halt to tho eating about midnight so
ns not to nllow either of them to es
cap without being heard from.
Postmaster General Smith wns first
rolled upon. The toast wns "The Presi
dent." After saying "Tho President" Is a
toast demanding serious consideration,
Mr. Smith proceeded:
"It Is n happy and fortunate spirit
in the American people that they honor
the olllco of president I may say re
gardless of the Incumbent. In tho
present lnstnncc, though they honor
not only the ofllce. but the man.
"You will recognize that 1 ntn speak
ing only your sentiments when I say
that the present chief executive com
bines qualities that win for him es
teem ns president nnd admiration nnd
love ns ti. man.
' So numerous are these qualities
that he has attached to himself the
whole body of the American people;
nnd so loveable are they that with
those who are privileged to be near
him there exists nn Intimate degree of
attachment that rarely exists among
men,
Touching upon the war. Mr. Smith
said: "Had Mr. McKinley had his
own way we would have escaped a
war and still realized tho aspiration
of the people. His supreme de.sl'e
was to save the country from war
with all Its desolating consequences.
He believed It possible to avert n war
and yet relieve Cuba from the rule of
Spain."
Speaking the task which President
McKinley has been called upon to face,
the speaker said: "It Is the extraor
dinary felicity of McKinley that ho
Is supremely Identified with this coun
try's Industrial independence and to
lead In Its commercial expansion. Lin
coln was called upon to save and re
store the Union. His was a single
task. aicMnley's task Is a double
one."
Mr. Smith highly eulogized his col
leacues in the cabinet nnd then said
that when the cabinet was In session
where McKinley sat wns the head of
the table. He Is the supreme man of
the cabinet. In breadth of intellect,
quickness of decision, excellence of tact
and appreciation of the right thing to
do, ho overtowcrs every other man In
the government."
Mr. Smith was warmly received and
his eloquent eulogies of his chief
brought forth unstinted applause.
Governor Stone was happily Intro
duced by Toastmaster Torrey as the
Key Stone of the Keystone state. The
governor spoke only for a fow mlnute,
and. taking his cue from Mr. Smith,
eulogized his subject with all the fer
vor and earnestness he could command,
To believe him one would have to study
geography with the idea In mind that
the earth consisted of Pennsylvania
and the rest of the globe. One of his
best sayings was: "We are proud of
our state. Proud nf Its past; satisfied
with Its present and extremely hope
ful of Its future."
A touching reference to the Tenth
Pennsylvania volunteers brought him
Into the expansion question and he said
with that impressive tone which is so
peculiar to him: "We should not and
will not question whether we are tight
In our position in this question. All
wo want to know Is that wo must be
right when we stand by the president
and the country when a war Is on. We
will teach those Filipinos to stop eat
ing one nnother and ent our wheat. Wo
will teach them what clothes ore for.
We will teach them and the whole
world, eventually, what good govern
ment Is."
Governor Roosevelt and Mayor Molr
were both absent: Congressman Council
had to leave with his guests, Mr. Smith
and the governor, and the result was
the toast list was cut clown to three
numbers: "The Model Postolllce,"
Postmaster Dlekorson, of Detroit;
'"The Letter Carrier and His Friend,"
Hon. T. V. Powderly; nnd the "N. A.
L. C," President J. N. Parsons.
Each responded briefly nnd ex-Mayor
Green, of Blnghamton, made u few
happy remarks upon being substituted
for Governor Roosevelt to respond to
"Civil Service."
Bauer's orchestra nnd Schubert quar
tette furnished music. ,

Of the many Incidents of tho parade

ley and was emptied the crowd would
make a mad rush to get through the
gales. Special Policeman Patrick
Hpellinnn, In his usual cool manner,
held the gathering in check and sent

riers' hand and drum corps who

especially In ensemble work.
The Baltimore delegates aro deter
mined to put up n good stiff ftffiit for
