Thomas Hrehony, and on Sunday afternoon a beautiful American flag will be raised in his church-yard. The exercises will begin at 3.30 o'clock, and will be participated in by the societies and musical organ izations of Eckley and St. Patrick's band. Father Hrehony comes from a family whose members have shown their vaior on many a battle-field, both in America and other countries, and none prays more earnestly for the success of American arms than lie. A war fought for humanity's sake appeals to tho men of Father Hrohony's nationality, as they can sympathize with their Cuban brethren more so than any other race, having been oppressed themselves for centuries by a brutal government. Ho believes the day of deliverance and freodom for all allllcted nations is dawn ing. The socond raising of tho borough flag will take place on Saturday after noon. The pole first erected proved too short for the purpose, but the new one will be the highest in the region.

A cable nearly 2,(KM) feet long is stretched be tween the two mountains alongside the town, and on this one of the biggest flags ever mado will be raised.

There will be no organized celebration of tho Fourth in Freeland, but the small boy will see that the nation's birthday is appropriately observed. A picnic will bo held by St. Patrick's band at the Public park. The citizens of Alvlntown will throw a large flag to the breeze Saturday even ing.
