Wilkesbarre People Threat en to Burn Down the Build ing If It Is Not Removed From Present Location. The building of a post-house at Wilkos b&rro, to bo used in case tho smallpox raging in towns adjoining tho city breaks out there, has raised such an outcry that the police guarded it yester day with a strong force and doubled the guards last night. It is built close to a number of miners' houses near the city line and the residents nearby threaten to tear it down or burn it. The mother superior of Malinckrodt convent, the largest in America, which is a few rods from the posthouse, will have her lawyer commence proceedings in court to have it removed.

A special meeting of council was held Wednesday evening to hear the report of tho committee appointed to arrange for council's participation in tho Memorial Day parade. Tho committee reported having engaged two carriages, tho expense of which will be borne by the members. Considerable other business was also discussed at tho meeting. The lack of keys to tho Municipal building was taken up and tho building committee was instructed to procure forty-eight keys for the main door and twelve for tho council cbambor. Repairing of Centre street was next considered, and during tho discussion the rumor that the Lehigh Traction Company may extend its tracks to the Second ward and possibly to Upper Le high cropped out. All the corporations enjoying public franchises came in for a share of the talk, and the sentiment of the members appeared to ho In favor of tho borough receiving some return for the valuable privileges accorded to tho corporations doing business here. Tho president and sanitary committee were instructed to meet with the solicit or this evening for the purpose of select ing a Hoard of Health. This was followed by a motion, which was passed, extending an invitation to tho trolley company to extend its line to tho northern limits of the borough, and to Upper Lehigh, if possible.

The Anniversary of It* Ilirth Will He Friday, June 14. / Bakewell, chief aldo ML to the comm&nder-in- joEc jrifffi. dress to the American MiljM twenty-fourth anni '' ' V '' V " f ' t "' l)irtl ' to give birth to this flag, what it has cost to maintain it and what it means to this nation and to the world, there is no honor too great that should not bo conferred upon it. "Our flag was born in tho throes of liberty, wounded in tho battles of free dom and sanctified in the causes of humanity. "It should be honored for all the se curity it guarantees; all tho morcy it proclaims; all the power it implies. "It is the flag that has been ever raised In honor and never lowered In disgrace. It is tho llag that represents liberty of thought and religious rights and floats today, beautifully hovering in the breeze around her Cuban protege, a protectorate against 'man's inhuman ity to man.' Tho flag that gracofully waves in tho Orient, a respected moni tor in tho Celestial empire, guiding tho world in the solution of a divine prob lem, remonstrating against avarice and admonishing against treachery. "It is the flag that must not bo dis graced as an advertisement of merchan dise nor displayed for idle purpose. "It is sacred! It is sublime! Next to Holy Writ it should be our guide, stand ing for the equality of man, and of woman to man. It is now the peace maker between hitherto domestic foes. It is a guard against foreign interfer ence. It forgives tho past and points to the future; grandly; with more gran deur than our pro-vision can encompass. It Is the (lag of our re-union. The flag of tho now possessions which Providence has bestowed. So let tho American people, with one hand on the casket of the golden rule and with the other saluting the emblem of our liberty and strength, do honor to our banner as It stands for loyalty between ourselves and the elevation of all mankind. "As the day dawns on June 14 lot the morning breeze kiss the fluttering flag from every house-top, .and as tho school boll sounds the assembly hour let there be glad hearts among the children as it is made their festival day to sing praises to the flag and to cheer it as it floats in the air above a token of their noble birth. "Every school may fittingly honor this clay with special exercises as a day of rejoicing, adopting a program suit able to the occasion: I.—Prayer. 2.—Salute to the Flag. 3.—National Hymns. 4.—Addrossos by Soldiers and Patriots. s.—Flag Drill. 6. —Quotations From Eloquent Ora tions on tho Flag. 7.—Ringing of Bells. "Every child waving a flag aud pos sessing it for himself has a treasure to bo admired and reverod. There are no school children too young to love the flag, none too old to be ashamed of It. Patriotism is a sentiment—an emotion, capable of bolng cultivated to a high degree of inspiration. It is not an in centive to military action with a ten dency to war, rathor a promoter of peace, and no nobler sentiment can bo created than love for tho flag, which is the mantlo of Columbia standing in the foreground beckoning to the oppressed of all mankind to come under tho folds of the robo of love, to dwell in harmony and security iu this land of peace, the Canaan where the wanderer may rest, the oppressed find relief and all bo thu equal of his fellow-men."
