VETER ANSi HAD AN
ENJOYABLE OUTING
Seven-Coantyf Association Met in Nay Aug Park.
After Business Meeting a Number
of Speeches Were Heard.
During nil tlio twenty-three years
that the Seven County Veterans' asso
ciation has been In existence It Is safe
to Hay that not ono of the annual re
unions has 'approached that of yester
day, In point of attendance ahd success.
Fully Ilftccu hundred of the old soldier
boys were there, with their families,
and this number was uuRumcntcd by
probably G.OOO or more people from
.'Scranton nnd adjacent towns.
The attendance was so unexpectedly
JurBO, that the committee In charge
iworc completely overwhelmed, and It
was with dllllculty the visitors' were
provided with odlblcs and drinkables.
Hundreds of them, however, brouffht
along their own lunches, nnd this help
ed to relieve the- crush about the mess
tent, where the "Woman's ltellef Corps
and Ladles of the G. A. It. served
dinner.
The soldiers' orphans, who wore In
attendance, wore provided with lunch
eon free of charge, but owing to the
fact that they were not marshalled by
any one, It was u hard matter to dis
tinguish them from the others, who
wore willing and anxious to pose as
orphans as long as any free lunch was
in sight.
Groups of one regiment or another
were gathered here and there, relating
tales of army life, and renewing old
acquaintances.
The visitors began arriving on the
early morning trains, nnd were met
nt the stations by members of Ezra
Grlflln Post, No. 130, and Col. Monies
Post, No. 319 under command of Captain
Thomas Barrownum and Captain P.
J. JIcAndrew. About 10 o'clock the, as
Eeinblage formed near the Lackawanna
liallroad station, and marched to the
court house square, where they viewed
the Soldiers' and" Sailors' monument,
nnd afterwards went to Nay Aug park,
where the exercises of the day were
held. 'Dinner was served under a large
tent, and the beauties of the park were
enjoyed by the visitors, who scattered
In every direction to view the natural
scenery.
EX-PIHSONEUS OP WAIt.
The annual meeting of the Union cx
rrl&oncrs of War was held before lunch
con, and Comrade Halsey Lathrope

the boys In a familiar way.
Comrade Bowman, of Wllkes-Barre,
nlso delivered a short address, and Mrs.
Powell, of Wllkes-Barre, read, a poem,
which she wrote for a reunion held In
Tennessee.
"The Song of the Old Canteen" was
rendered by Comrade H. H. Tyler, of
Hlnghamton, N. Y., who was a mem
ber of the Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania
regiment. Another song, "The Old Cof
fee Kettle,' was sung by Comrade Ben
Evans, of Pittston, after which the ex
ercises were closed with the singing of
the doxology.
It was after 2 o'clock when the as
sembly was sounded by Corneter Miles,
of Bauer's band, after which a lively
nir was plnyed, and the multitude as

tion Includes Bradford, Broome, (N. Y.)
Wayne, Lackawanna, Wyomlng.Luzerne,
and Susquehanna counties, and among

The business of the association having
been concluded, Colonel Hitchcock an
nounced the camp fire features would
follow, and Introduced Recorder Cou
ncil to give the address of welcome.
Ho said It was a privilege and pleas
ure to extend a welcome to the sur
vivors of that grand army who preserv
ed this union, and any city would be
bo able to muko Cuba help herself,
But ono of two thliigs will eventually
happen, Bho will govern herself or
become In time a part of the United
States, There is no stop to American
progress.
THE PROBLEM SOLVED.
"The present generation has solved
the problem that liberty must prevail,
and demonstrated that America Is a
great world power, but there Is one
more problem for the future generation
to solve, and It will be solved In time.
"It will not be solved by war, but
by the power of peace and righteous
ness It must be solved. The problem
Is that all men shall be treated alike,
the law respected, and the question of
the relation of capital and labor to
each other. (
"The problem of Ilia century to solvo
Is the question of the relation of cap
ital and labor to each other, nnd when
It Is done, mark you all, within the
hearing of my voice, that the law and
the eternal principles of Justice will re
main supreme. ,It will be solved In this
century."
After a .selection bytho band, the
newly elected president, H. H. Tyler, of
Blnghnmton, was Introduced, and sang
"Tenting on the Old Camp Ground,"
the crowd joining In the chorus.
Comrade Harding, of Wyoming coun

only invitation came from Comrade IK.
II. Taylor, of Binghamton, ,N. Y who
represented Broome county. He spoke
of the advantages of the Parlor city for
Jhe reunion, and tho Invitation was un
animously accepted.
John T. Howe made a speech. In
which he expressed tho belief that,
owing to the Lackawanna county mem
bers having kept up the association
they should remain at home next year,
" nnd registered a kick against going to

Advise
Suffering
Women Strongly,
to Take Doctor
Picrco's Favorite
Prescription.
This advice comes
from a woman who had
suffered all the miseries
women can suffer from
disease, and had been
perfectly and perma
nently cured by the use
of Dr, Pierce's Favorite
Prescription.
This great medicine
for women establishes
regularity, dries weak
ening draius, heals in
flammation and ulcera
tion and cures female
weakness.
Read Mrs. Kempson'a
letter and, if you are
sick, follow her advice.
"Although it had been nulte a time since
I wrote you," says Mrs. Fred Kempson, of
uuni)a, junsaaie to., mien., ixa 37,
still vour name is a blemlne la our bouse.
and I think it tny duty to let you know
ring koou
that I am still enjoying
health,
thanks to vou and vour ' Favorite Pre
scrlption.' When X think how I was five
years ago, aud then see how I am now, I
say, Cod blsss Dr. 1'ierce's works, and
may he live long to help poor suScriufr
women. I have never had any return of
my weakness and am welt and hearty,
Can do all my own work without any
pain. You saved me from the grave when
all others failed, I advise suffering- women
strongly, to take Pr. ierce' Favorite Pre.
scrlption. as I kuow it will cure in all
cases, if indeed there U a cure."
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellet; ire
an excellent laxative, suited to the
use of delicate women,
honored with their presence, and Scran
ton felt especially honored in having
them as their guests.
HISTORY IT HAS MADE.
"Tho Grand Army of the Republic,"
ho said, "points significantly to tho
pages of history It has made, and says
this is our record, a record not promised
but accomplished. To you your organ
ization means more than the holding
of camp fires and renewing the battles
you had fought and won. It Is the
keeping alive of tho patriotic fire of our
national life.
"The blue-coated veteran Is the ever
present witness of the glorious deeds
of the past, and a happy inspiration for
the young men of today. It is tho
duty of the present generation to pre
serve what you have created and per
petuate tho deeds of the veterans of the
civil Avar.
"Your work Is done, and the abound
ing prosperity of the country testifies
to the national edifice you reconstruct
ed. Scranton veterans are proud for
being honored with your presence here,
and I bid you all welcome, nnd may
your every pleasure be anticipated."
Colonel Hitchcock, as president of
the association, made u. brief response
to Recorder Council's address, and
thanked him for the kindly words
spoken. "It Is certainly a matter of
pride to have been a factor In the con
test," he said, "and we are all proud
of the results. Our nation stands fore
most as representing the highest form
of liberty In all possible directions, and
the entlro world 1h looking to us as an
example for others. Muy this standard
long be maintained,"
Hon. H. M. Edwards, president Judge
of Lackawanna county, was then Intro
duced, and gave u splendid nddress.
After making sonic preliminary re
marks relative to his inability to ninko
himself heard by all, and apologizing
for tho committee's Inability to provide
seats for nil, he said:
LINE OP SADNESS.
"There Is a line of sadnes3 in this
gathering like the cloud over tho clear
sky, and I urn lemlnded of tlio fact
that with each succeeding year your
ranks arc growing thinner, nnd that
the old soldiers uro dying out at the
rate of 30,000 a yenr. Ten years hence
there will scarcely bo any of them
left. But I do not proposo to follow
this lino of sadness or Inflict much
oratory upon you.
"The orator has very little place on
an occuslon of this kind. Ills voice
uies away ,m tne uir. uut the nmn
that ucts, the man that does, and dares,
and dies' for principle, his act lives for
ever, and his name Is carved In the
history of nations.
"It happens that there Is an occasion
now and then for an orator to warm up
the hearts of men, but the lesson taught
us Is that every generation has a mis
sion to perform or a great problem to
solve, and I will call your attention to
a few facts to illustrate this truth.
"The generation who fought the Civil
war, they solved the problem that the
United States as a nation are one peo
ple, and not by any compact 'can they
be destroyed. They established the
Indestructablllty of the nation. Tho
Monroe doctrine teaches us that the
people have constituted themselves the
guardian angels of the nation, and
tho logical conclusion Js that the day
will come when all the small repub
lies and even Canada will become a
part of the United States.
''Cuba .was helped, and we hope tp
wartn welcome In tho hearts of tho
Deojilc.
"It has been said that the navy boys
were not very eloquent, but they have
spoken eloquently in the past," he said,
nnd referred to remarks made by Paul
Jones, Perry, Lawrence, Smith nnd
others, which have gone down In his
tory. "These were, words of eloquence from
those who have stood In defense of
their country, and when the war was
over and the soldier and sailor had
done his duty, they exemplified the
fact that tho national government
should be established and law and
right should nrevail."
At the close of the camnfire exer
cises an exhibition of rough riding was
given bj7 Lieutenant Andrew Smith, of
the Ninth United States cavalry; J.
W, Page, of the Pennsylvania Military
college, nnd Lieutenant Ezra H. Rip
ple, Jr., of the Thirteenth regiment.

THE MARKETS
Wall Street Review.
Now Yoilc, Aug. "0. Today's, market
was broader ami more active than that
of yesterday and was generally strons,
but the strength wah very unevenly di
vided, and wiib not consistently main
tained. Tho hand of tho prpfcsMonul
was quito manifest in tho market. After
ono group of slocks had been pushed up
to a eeitain extent, they would moot sell
ing orders to realize in tho moment that
nRgi-csblvo appearance ot sticngtli was
developing in soma new quarter, thus en
coui aging continued buying by 011UKI0
speculators in tlio fatocks already ad
vanced und thus lucilitatiug thu realiz
ing. It was distinctly u Morgan mar
ket. That is to say, tho buying of slocks
was based upon tho assumption that
Mr. Morgan has returned to Wall strcot
ready to take up tho broken continuity
of many Impoitunt projects which he
had uiidur way when ho left for his vaca
tion. Some of these piojccts Ii.ivo got
into a .snarl, legal, llnancl.il or specu
lative. Professional speculators in tho
street have an abiding faith that Mr.
Morgan will promptly settle thorn all.
His Immediate appearance at his ofllce,
going tllrectly there lrom the steam
ship, gavo additional strength to this
conviction that ho would give immediate
attention to pressing problems. It Is
needless to bay, however, that some ot
tho expectations expected by tho active
spcculatois in the market as to tho scope
und tho promptitude of Mr. Morgan's
measures reached a degree of absurdity.
Tho undeniably strengthening effect upon
contldcnco of this capitalist's return to
active direction of affairs was promptly
taken advuntgo of by various speculative
pools to mako demonstrations In their
favorite stocks by rapidly advancing
prices. A distinctly easier tono to tho
money market facilitated tho operation
for the advance. Tho ruling rate for call
loans wus -1 per cent., us against 474o
per cent, yesterday and tho market for
time loans was also called easier. Tho
foreign oxcliaiiKO market naturally hard
ened in consequence. Continued selling
of stocks for London account wus also
a factor In the demand for exchange.
Tho Interior demand for funds seems still
to bo delayed and bunkers report that
outsldo lenders wero placing tholr ready
nimis on can in loaay s siocks marwet.
Unfavorable crop weather, tlio futility
of tho coal conferenco to effect a strike
(dettlemcnt nnd tho violent break in
Colorado Fuel on account of tho Internal
conflict In tho company wero Ignored in
tlio trading. Tho special strength of
some Colorado railroad stocks was sup
posed to ho connected with tho liquida
tion of Colorado Fuel, Recent rumors
of a merger of Southern Railroads, of
Canadian Pacific's alleged Intention to
securo an entrance to Chicago and ot a
prospective absorption by large railroad
systems of sundry small system wero all
manifest influences in tho market. Profit
talcing was general during tho lust hour
and tho closing was active and irregular.
