Speech of Rev. M. J. Falllhee.
Since the last issue of the TRIBUNE we
have received the corrected copy of the
speech delivered by Rev. M. J. Fallihee,
in accepting the flag on behalf of the
teachers and children of St. Ann's school,
on July 4th. It is as follows :
Ladies and gentlemen I appear before you
to-day us a substitute, and I scarcely ever knew
a substitute that was as good as the original
package.
During the late rebellion or little unpleasant
ness between the North and South some men
were patriotic enough to go and light for the
union, while others remained at home because
they found it healthier and pleasanter to be at
a good distance from the Rebel bullets. Now
some of those who stayed at home were
drafted and they paid men to go as substitutes
in their pluces. So lam to-day a substitute or
representative for the touchers and children
of thisschool, consequently you will not ex]>ect
of me a flowery, leurned or eloquent oration
such as the teachers or scholars would give,
but some kind of a substitute speech to fill tin
bill for the parties whom I represent. Before I
go off on a tangent or get too far from the base
of operation I wish to say in behalf of the
teachers and children that they accept this
beautiful flag and flagstaff with the same kind
and patriotic spirit with which they are pre
sented, and we all unite in returning our most
sincere and grateful thanks to all those who
donated the flag and flagstaff; and also to those
who assisted in uny way in erecting here on
the children's playground this grand emblem
of our nutional greatness. I cannot imagine
or conceive anything more appropriate than
the stripes and sturs floating in the breeze
over the heads of our children as they enjoy
their recreation. History will tell them that
Congress resolved on June 14, 1777, "that the
flag of the 13 United States be 13 stripes, alter
nate, red and white; that the union be 13 sturs,
white in a blue Held, representing u new con
stellation; that the stripes represent the 13
original colonies and the stars the present num
ber of States. It will show them that this
State is the Keystone State, and you all know
that the principal stone of an arch or building
is the keystone, which if taken away the arch
or building will tumble to the ground. I f some
of you do not know what a keystone is, you
know what a backbone is, and every person
hero present is supposed to have a backbone.
Now if your buckbone is dilapidated, disar
ranged, or disap)>eurs in any way you will
collapse and fall to the ground like the build
ing without the keystone. Thence you will
understand that the Keystone State was the
buckbone of all the States in gaining our na
tional independence. It will inform them that
that very important document—the Declara
tion of Independence - was written, signed
and adopted in our native State, in Philadel
phia, on the 4th of July, 1776, which important
event brought joy, pleasure, liberty ami hap
piness to millions of people. I hope our school
boys, while pluying under the stripes and stars,
will sometimes think of George Washington
and endeavor to imitate him in his great and
noble deeds; they need not get out their pocket
knives and little hatchets and hack and cut
down our cherry trees as it is said George
Washington was Inclined to do. 1 never heard
that George was so excited over his game of
marbles or base ball, that he threw them around
wildly and promiscuously, injuring any of his
playmates or destroying slates, window-glass
or fences; but I cannot say that such destruc
tion of property does not sometimes take place
now-u-duys, not very far from here.
I suppose our boys, while under the shadow
of the stripes and stars, will never be guilty of
swearing, although it is suid that George swore
a little once in his lib-, but that he was sorry
for it and begged the recording angel not to
register it against him in the book of life. I
will tell you how it happened. The 2*th of
June, 1776, was a very warm and sultry day
and Washington and his soldiers were in Mon
mouth, New Jersey, where they hud a big light
on hand. They fought courageously all day
but gained very little advantage over their
enemies, so George thinking to infuse courage
into his men, waved his death-dealing sword
on high and said : "Come on boys, pitch into
them; I'll be darned if they can lick us." His
men pitched in, drove the enemy from the
Held and gained a complete victory. Washing
ton was always a temperate man, but I do not
know if he was always a temperance man.
However, it is said, he was a temperance man
at the battle of Brandywine, for our men had
neither brandy or wine on that day; they hod to
use cistern wuter and hadn't even time to open
any of the original packages. I have now
given our scliool-boys a few points in George
Washington's life, and I hope, while enjoying
themselves here under our national banner,
they will remember him and try to imitate
him in truthfulness and grand qualities of
mind and soul; for lie was a great man—first in
war, first in peace and first in the liearts of his
countrymen.
Our school-girls should also make themselves
useful as well as ornamental. They need not
be ashamed to use the scissors, the needle and
tluvad as Mrs. I{.i Philadelphia, did, when
she had the honor of making the first Ameri
can tlag. I would like to see them always
ready to imitate the charitable and patriotic
ladies of Philadelphia, who formed Soldiers'
Belief Associations and made clothes for our
half-starved and half-naked patriots. It would
be well for them sometimes to think of the
kind and generous-hearted Mrs. Steel, of
Noitli Carol.nu, who gave the last dollar she
had, with a warm supper, to Generul Green,
who came to her "futigued, hungry, cold anil
penniless." Nor should they ever forget the
courageous Mary Pitcher, who, when she saw
her husband fall in the battlefield, took ins
place and performed the work of an artillery
man. I need not tell you children to be honest,
truthful, studious and patriotic; to love and
respect that Hag which has tiouted over every
buttlefield from Lexington to Appomatox; to
love it because your forefathers fought, suf
fered and many of them died for it; to fill your
hearts so full of patriotic love, that should do
mestic enemy or foreign foe ever dare to tear
one stripe or erase one star from that starry
banner you will be the first to jiour forth
your heart's blood in defense of that grand
emblem of our Nutional Independence.

A Card.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN :—WIIEREAS,
Mr. Charles Schoener, of Freeland,
made certain allegations recently to per
sons that owing to his failure to receive
his insurance policy from me, for pres
entation to the Company, he was de
prived of benefits due him during his ;
recent illness.
I desire to state here that all papers
belonging to Mr. Schoener were given by
me to Mr. C. O. Stroh. His policy of*
insurance I never saw; don't know any
thing about it, and consequently could
not withhold it from him.
The following letter from the General
Agent of the Company, at Pottsville, Pa., 1
will explain the true reason why he i
did not receive his benefits :
Office of John K. Wilson, General Agent,
Preferred Mutual Accident Association, j
of New York.
POTTSVILLE, Pa,, July 14,1WU, !
JOSEPH BIUKUECK, ESQ.— Dear Sir;— ln re
ply to your favor of the 12th inst., I would say
that Charles Schoener had a policy in our Cora- i
pany, but as he failed to pay the quarterly !
premium which was duo on April 15 the policy
lapsed. 1 wrote to him twice about it but he
never answered inc. Of course if he was hint
after his payment was due he was not entitled
to anything. Yours truly,
JOHN K. WILSON.
I trust that the above explanation will
be satisfactory to all concerned.

Weekly Coal Report.
i The anthracite coal trade has not im
| proved during the past week, and mid
summer dullness is now the ruling fea
! ture. Orders for coal are not plentiful,
l but there is no scarcity of coal, though
the Heading Company has been tempo
-1 rarily short of one or two sizes in mak
! ing up cargoes for Eastern shipment,
j Buyers at present show little disposition
to place orders or contracts for any large
j quantity for anthracite, not knowing
| what may result from the apparent ex
i cessive production. .Somebody has for
I some days past been industriously circu
j lating statements regarding the alleged
! decreasing accumulation of anthracite
I at tidewater shipping points, but, be this
I as it may, it is a well known fact that the
| weekly output of coal for the past month
j has been considerably more than the
! market requirements called for, and if
| the tidewater tonnage has decreased the
coal has simply been moved from the
shipping piers at New York harbor and
Port Richmond to other distributing
ports in the East.
The Pottsville Miners' Journal says:
"Work at the collieries is increasing and
the miners are more encouraged. Most
of the collieries are working pretty stea
dily and the limit of production is being
exceeded by all the large companies."
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
July sth, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 589,726 tons,
compared with 627,980 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, a decrease of
38,254 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was 15,776,148 tons com pared with 15,775,-
182 tons for the same period last year, an
increase of 966 tons.— Ledger.
