JUDGE DARTE'S ADDRESS.
Judge Alfred Darte, of AVllkes
llarre, who Is a past department com-
manuer or tno tiruntl Army of the Re
public, was then Introduced. Ho de
clared that ho realized the day was too
chilly to expect an audience to listen
to a lengthy address, and therefore
only spoke for a limited length of
time. He described the day when the
nowa came to this pnrt of the state
that wnr was on between tho North
and tho South. He told of the ruh
of the young men to enlist In tho at my
and vividly described tho grim enlty
of the "rugged Pennsylvania militia"
Inlo llaltlmotv, every man's hand on
tho trigger of his weapon, ready to
lire i,l the first manifestation of hoa
t'Jlty. He continued:
(iod knew that our cause was right and lie
gai us victory, It was woitli the irullilv lim

this country capital doesn't own labor by fleeing
the slivi', and tluouliig down the bioVtii .dial..

that the Declaration of IniUpeud'.uee hn, been
upheld.
It tells too, that ill this eountiy time Is no
sue li thing in class. Tin poor man of titij jc.in

man's son of today may ! a pauper, fifty jears
from now,
And now, It the nation Is worth saving, the

' BAMPLE, OF ALLEGHENY.
Hon, Thomas (I, Sample.of Allegheny,
another department commaudnr of the
Urand Auny of the Republic, was the
n-xt speaker, Ho was faceted with
cheers nnd loud riles nt "How ure you,
Tom?" and begun his talk by suy'iig
that the people of Lackawanna, .coun
ty had honored themselves in erect
ing the monument, and had not only
done tribute to the old soldiers, hut
to the entire county. Ho said it m
but fitting that the memory of Penn
sylvania's dead heroes betlttlngly ob
served, find declared thut no finer
military record was made during tho
war thnn by the boyB of tltla stat?.
"J5W nftfir the monument Itflelf has
crumbled away," he emphatically an
nounced, "the memory bt the men for
whom It was erected will remain
fresh nnd green."
Homer Ureene, esq., of Honesdalo,
then congratulated tho citizens of this
city on the possession of the hand
eomo, monument nnd said that It
marked thu onward inarch ofx good

of cheers.

CAMPF8RE FOR VETERANS
Last night all the Grand Army vet
erans and visiting' guests who re
mained in tile city were entertained at !
the rooms of Ezra Griflin post, by a j
rousing, enthusiastic camp lire recop
tion. The hanebomely decorated
rooms weie thronged with local sol
diers of the Rebellion, sons of veter
ans', Spanish-American war veterans
and guests from Wilkes-Harre, Nich
oNon, f.'arbondnle, and other surround
ing places.
Numerous ladies were also present
fiom the variods auxiliaries to tho
Grand Army of the Republic, and It
was to these members of the AVomen's
Relief, Ladles' Aid, and other organiz
ations of the fair sex that the mala
portion of the audience tendered their
thanks for the generous bnnqti't
which was served, at the close of'th2
entertainment. Tho gathering was
most fraternal in spirit. Side by side
in the audience sat the silver-haired
holc'ier of the Aimy of tho Potomac
and the tanned youth who saw service
in the Spanish-American war.
Here sat u man distinguished in
every walk oi life, wearing tiie same
cherished little button as the kindly
faced old negro soldier at his sld'-,
with whom ho was chatting of the
days gone by. All over the big room
hovered the spirit of 'da, which was
evidenced in tho applause which
glue ted every patriotic utterance from
the platform, and which was made
more than evident in the deep-voiced
chorus which every now and anon
chanted the strains of the mighty Rat
tle Hymn of the Republic, "America,"
or the "Star Spangled Runner."
S. 11. MOTT PRESIDED.
On the plattorm sat S. B. Mott, of
Ezta Griflin post, who was in charge
of the ccning's exercises, and close
by him were seate-1 Hon. Alfred
Darte, of Wilkes-llarrc, and Hen.
Thomas Sample, of Alleghenv, while
Comrade XI. II. Tyler, of Hinghumton,
and other Grand Army of the Repub
lic men, were also mi the rostrum.
A short address by Chairman Mott
opened the camptlre, and then led by
Comrade Tyler, all present united In
singing with heart and soul, "Amer
ica." Some of the voices which mado
mi the chorus may have been a little
tremulous with age, and a little shaken
by the agitation and hardship thtough
which l heir possessors had gone, but
the elfect produced was a grand one,
and tho chnrur given with a beautiful
honesty and sincerity.
Hon. Alfred Darte was introduced
to the audience as a past department
commander of the state and gave a
short address, iu which ho referred
brlelly to the general purposes of the
Grand Army of the Republic and the
beneficial results which always ariss
fiom a reunion of the veteran sol
diers. After the singing of "Tho Old Camp
Ground" by the audience, led by Com
rade Tyler, Thomas G. Sample, of Al
legheny, another past department com
mander, was Introduced and In a
speech fairly teeming with anecdotes
nnd short witty sallies, he gave sev
eral personal recollections of tho mo
mentous days of tho rebellion. He
told of the effect produced upon him
self by tin) declaration of war, and
how ho left the life of an indentured
apprentice and enlisted In the army.
Ho gave descriptions of various cele
brated characters of that great period
iu American history nnd described
President Lincoln and Generals Grant
and Sherman, as tin1) nppeareil to him,
lu n way which was fascinating, to
say tho least.
Ho gave a brief analysis of tho mo
tives nnd alms of the G, A. It. and
throughout his address kept his audi
ence in tho greatest good humor.
WAS IN THE NAVY.
The "Rattle Hymn of tho Republic"
was then ehauteil, and as thu last tone,
of this Inspiring song died aw
Chairman Molt called for another
speaker, nnd, singling out Henry Hunt

constituted the sailors' camp-fire. He
then passed Into a general discussion
of the veterans' association and re
ferred briefly to tho monument, the
unveiling of which occasioned tho re
union of so many old comrades.
O. E. A'aughn, of Mpscow, was tho
next speaker, and others of tho veter
ans present also delivered Bhort nnd
Interesting addresses. Tho serving of
an abundant luncheon brought to n.
closo one of the most thoroughly en
Joyablo camp-fire receptions over held
In tho county.
NOTES OP THE PARADE.
The Soldiers' Orphan-' school nt
Harford was to linvo been represented
nt yesterday's ceremony by a full rep
lesontiitlon from the Institution and
the entire two hundred and forty pu
pils expected tu attend. The severity
of tho weather, however, kept at homo
I lie majority of the glrla nnd most
of the younger children. Those who
did arrive were, however, given a
loyal reception, and were under the
especial care of the Women's Relief
society and ladles of the G. A. It.
who served them dinner and supper
In tho rtuir building and made them
leel entirely nt home during their short
visit.
The membeis of Company I, of Ens
ton were the especial guests of Com
pany I!, which dined them at the Hotal
Irving and also ''urnMied th-m sup
per at that husti by. During tho night
escorts were appointed from the local
company, whose esp"elal duty It ww
to gratify all the social wants of lhJ
Easlonlans, The latter were taken to
the theaters, the dance at the armory
and shown a general good time.
The band of tho Soldiers' Orphans'
school yesterday morning .paraded up
Washington avenue, and, halting be
fore Tho Tribune otllcc. gave a seren
ading concert. The band Is made up
of about twenty pieces, and. although
the members are all of very tender
years, some of the little follows are
possessed of really marked musical
ability. Their Instructor Is Professor
R. J. Hauer, of this city.
Herrings' band, which accompanied
the Wilkes- Barrc post of Grand Army
of the Republic, enjoyed tho distinc
tion of being almost entirely composed
of men who were through tha great
rebellion and old Luzernlte soldier.'
did not a little bragging regarding
their musicians. In addition to tills,
the post brought along a twelve-pound
cannon and proudly declared Itself
ready for action.
Bauer's band divided honors with
the crnck musical organization of the
Ninth regiment, and the little fellows
who played the spirited marching airs
for the soldiers' orphans also did tlne
ly. They marched along, their faces
blue with cold, but not .a complaint
was heard, and they handled their In
struments like veterans.
Excellent order was maintained in
the big crowd by the police. There
were a large number of patrolmen
scattered among the spectators and
under the direction of Lieutenant John
Davis and City Detective John Molr
they cleared the road for tho marchers
and held the crowding throng back in
masterly style.
Rev. Dr. ri. C. Logan was formerly
chaplain of the Thirteenth, and the
selecting of him to offer up the open
ing prayer and pronounce the bene
diction was an especially happy one.
The Ninth regiment soldiers were
the guests of the Thirteenth and the
larger part of the Wilkes-Barre boys
stayed over and last night attended
Company F's ball at the armory.
