0 say, can you see by the dawu's early

What so proudly we hailed at the twU

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro*
the perilous tight
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so
gallantly streaming!
And the rockets red glare, the bombs burst

Gave proof through the night that our flag
was still there;
0 say, does the star-spang'e I banner yet
wave
O'er the land of the free and the homo of

On that shore dimly seen through the mists
of the deep,
Where the foci's haugty host in dread sil
ence reposes,
What is that which the breixe o'er the tow
ering steep,
As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now
discloses?
Now it catches the glenm of the morning's
first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the

•Tis the star-spangled banner! O, long may
It wave
O'er the laud of the free and the home of
the brave I
And where is that baud who so vauntingly
swore
'Mid the havoc of war and the battle's
confusion,
A home and a country they'd leave us no

Their blood has washed out their foul
footstep's pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or ll>e gloom of

And the star-spangled banner in triumph
doth wave \
O'er the land of the free and the homo of

O, thus be it over when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's
desolation.
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav
en rescued laml
Praise the power that hath made and pre
served us a nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is
just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our
trust;
And the star-spangled banner in triumph
shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of

Patriotism at Eckley.
In the church-yard of the Church of
Immaculate Conception at Eckley yes
terday a beautiful American flag was
unfurled on a high pole erected near the
bell-tower. The flag is a gift from the
parishoners to tho church, and the ex
ercises connected with Its raising woro
successful In every respect. The orator
of the day was D. J. McCarthy, and he
delivered a masterful address. Rev.
Thomas Brehony also spoke In a manner
appropriate to the occasion. Music was
furnished by Eckley band and the
Shamrock drum corps, and patriotic
songs were sang by Sunday school girls.

FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, JULY 4, 189 S.
Flag Raising* on Saturday.
The residents of the Second ward of
Freeland borough showed their patriot
ism on Saturday evening by throwing
three handsome Hags to the breeze.
The first and most important raising
took place at Schreiner's corner, where
a fine flag pole was erected some time
ago. The exercises woro opened by
Councilman Kline with an appropriate
address, in which he introduced George
C. Farrar as chairman. Mr. Farrar
made a stirring speech and won much
applause for the sentiments he ex
pressed. The music for the occasion
was rendered by the Citizens' band, and
the flag was raised by Henry Wilson,
who was mainly instrumental in making
the exercises the complete success they
were. When the flag roached the top
of the high pole patriotic songs were
sung by a quintette of young girls, fol
lowed by solos by Miss Irene Sohrelner.
The orator of the day. Squire .John (1.
Davis, then delivered an address that
did him credit and was warmly applaud
ed by his auditors. Hen Walker, a
colored gentleman from Silver Hrook,
sang several songs and captured the
large crowd with his choice selections.
The flag is 9xlo feet, and was made and
presented to the Second ward by the
ia<ii *s of Alvintown. The other rais
ings then took place, one near the resi
dence of .lames Wilson, which was
raised by George Cutler, a veteran of
the civil war, and the other near the
residence of Joseph lies, which was
raised by John lies. Taking it all in
all, it was a big day for the Second
ward, and will be long remembered.
The second raising of the borough flag
took place ut 6 o'clock on Saturday
afternoon. The polo in front of the
council building, which is painted white,
straight as an arrow and eighty feet
high, was surrounded by a large crowd
when Frank DePierro, president of
council, opened the exercises with a
short speech. Rev. E. C. Murphy, of
the English Haptist church, followed
with prayer. Rev. W. W. Hartman, of
the Park M. E. church, delivered a stir
ring address and Rev. J. J. Kuntz, of
St. Luke's Lutheran church, pronounc
ed the benediction. Music was furnish
ed by the Citizens' band. The flag was
raised by Councilman Meehan and pre
sents a fine appearance at Its great
height.
Resignation of Elmer H. Liwnll.
For some time past the close friends
of Elmer 11. Lawall have been expecting
his resignation as general superintendent
of the Lehigh and WllkosbarroCoal Com
pany. At various times during the past
two years it was rumored that he would
sever connections with the company,
and at last the rumor has become a fact
for a few days ago Mr. Lawall tendered
his resignation to take effect July 1 and
on Friday a circular was sent out from
the main office of the company's head
quarters. It said that Mr. Lawall
has been granted a leave of absence,
and that W. J. Richards is appointed
acting general superintendent.
Mr. Lawall will leave on an extended
tour for the benefit of his health, he
having been for some time a sufferer
from insomnia. lie and his family will
visit tho Omaha exposition and other
places of interest, and on their return
Mr. Lawall will give his attention to his
business interests, among which is the
Co'liery Kngimer, of Scranton, in which
he holds considerable stock.
While the circular states that Mr.
Lawall has simply been granted leave of
al since, yet it is quite certain that he
has permanently severed connections
witli the company. W. J. RichaPds,
who succeeds him, has been chief mining
engineer of the company since 1888.
Cuban Giant* Defeat the Tigers.
The Tigers were shut out yesterday
afternoon on the local grounds by the
Cuban Giants. The colored gentlemen
wore too strong for our team, although
they were beaten at Maucli Chunk on
Saturday by practically tho same club.
McGill was in the box for the Tigers
and did Ills work fairly well. He kept
the Giants' hits scattered and received
good support from Gaffnoy. The visitors
took advantage of a few costly orrors
during the game, scampering around
the bases like deers at every opportuni
ty. The Tigers were unable to connect
with Howard's delivery, eight of thorn
striking out. Some pretty double plays
were mado by the home club. Follow

work on Friday night at Trenton, N. J.,
after performing the last act which con
solidates the two branches. In the;

convention, in May, 11 >OO. In the reso
lutions adopted the Anglo-American
alliance was condemned as well as any
alliance with any European powers.
Sympathy was expressed for the Cubans
in their struggle for liberty and the con

demning the continued imprisonment of
Irish political prisoners in English pris
ons. It was recommended that the
organization establish a Hibernian
Memorial Day, when the graves of tho

and unfair to the Irish people. It was
demanded that only impartial historic",
should be used. The convention made
an appropriation of #l,o<)<) for the suffer

Good News for tho MiuerN.
The anthracite coal trust has at last
opened its heart and orders are issued
to allow the mining of 3,600,000 tons of
coal in July, an increase oyer each
recent month of 1,100,000 tons, a quan
tity which tint statistical condition of
tin; trade warrants, hut which from a
a commercial aspect may ho considered
large. The buyers interpret this sudden
increase to mean that tho market is to
be kept full of coal. Tin; city papers
say that there is little change as com
pared with last week. Orders are be
coming fewer and as tho weather con
tinues to grow warmer tho demand
becomes less.
Notwithstanding the reports put out
by some of the large companies, cutting
in prices is being freely indulged in by
somo who have more coal on hand than
they wish to carry. Tho principal cut
ting is done at Buffalo and Chicago,
whore the price is anywhere from 25 to
50 cents a ton loss than the circular.

Thy rumbling palpitation roll in upon

That thrills a something til us that

And the guest
Of the breast
That thy rolling robs of rest
Is a patriotic spirit as a Continental

And he looms

And the blood he spilled at Lexington
in living beauty blooms.
And his eyes
Wear the guise
Of a nature pure and wise,
And the love of them is lifted to a
something in the skies
That is bright
Hed and white,
With a blur of starry light
As it laughs in silken ripples to the
breezes day and night.
There are deep
Hushes creep
O'er the pulses as they leap,
And the murmur, fainter growing, on
the silence falls asleep.
While the prayer
Rising there
Wills the sea and earth and air
As a heritage to Freedom's sons and
daughters everywhere.
Then with sound
As profound
As the thunderings resound,
Come thy wild reverberations in a
throe that shakes the ground,
And a cry,
Flung on high
Like the flag it flutters by,
• Wings rapturously upwards till it
nestles in the sky.
Oh the drum!
There is some
Intonation in thy grum
Monotony of utterance that strikes the
spirit dumb,
As we hear
Through the clear
And unclouded atmosphere
Thy rumbling palpitations roll in upon
the ear.
—James Whitcomb Riley.
A Truthful Keinark.
One of our citizens remarked the other
day that tlio money already Invested
In and the money yet duo on tho idle
stone crusher would pay for the sprink
ling of tho streets for many years to
come. The most regretful part of this
remark Is that it is true. Tho crusher
today Is not a bitof use to the town, and
it is very doubtful if It will over pay for
itself. The experience of Frocland with
tills machine is a repetition of tho ex
perience of every small town which has
purchased one. Our streets are now as
disgraceful as the day it was bought.
The #1,300 and interest which it is cost
ing would go a long way In either paving
the town or drowning tho dust.
