An Orderly Celebration and a Day
of Unalloyed Enjoyment.
V MACMFICIXT PAUA1IE.
The Fire Laddies Appeared In Hantlsmne
Vnlrorm and Marched Through the
Town Headed by the Erie Band of Tort
Jervls, Followed by a Large Calvaeade
A Jilg Dauce was Given by the Hoys
In Brown's Hall and was Enjoyed by
All.
The morning of our national holi
day dawned with lowering clouds
which threatened to mar the intend
ed proceedings, but Jupiter pluvius
kindly kept his hand on tho rain
making machine, and the misty
heavens served only as a canopy to
shade the throng9 which began at an
early hour to assemble. The people
came from every direction apparent
ly bent on a day of enjoyment, and
that they were not disappointed was
evidenced by the words of praise
heard on all sides for our fire depart
ment which successfully exerted it
self to furnish entertainment and
amusement for the spectators.
The Erie Band numbering twenty
four pieces came down and to their
soul-stirring and patriotic music the
procession formed on Centre Square
It was marshalled by J. B. Vantas-
sel and James H. Heller who, splen
didly mounted looked fit to lead an
army to tattle. Tho Town Council
followed in a carriage and next- our
typical Uncle Sam, if he is not a
model then tho artists or nature
have made a grand mistake in the
portraiture of this widely known
and thoroughly respocted individual.
Policemen Smith and Steele were
the next sandwiches and then came
the Erie hand in fine form blowing
sweet zephyrs of melody. Chief
Jacob Klaer and assistants Brown
and Emory headed the fire depart
ment.
Vandermark Hose, the boys neat
ly appareled in red shirts succeeded
and next came Sawkill Hose with
white and blue uniforms, and the
hook and ladder company, the com
bined effect with the decorations of
tho apparatus being harmonious and
very pleasing. The companies
marched In fine order and prosontod
as a whole an attractive and manly
appearance.
The Darktown Hose No. 0 was ad
mirably attired and looked as if thoy
had gone down a sooty chimney in
soarch of a fire. Little Lancelot
lArmstroug as a miniature uncle Sam
fairly rivalled his political ancestor,
and fully demonstrated that young
America is fast taking the lead.
A float drawn by a patient long-
eared mule and manned by the as
sistant editor fittingly symbolized
our cotemporary and made the whole
outfit a characteristic emblem of its
lofty aspirations. A noble red man,
personifiod by Bill Kimball of the
Press, with his tomahawk, fully
decorated in the picturesque cos
tume of a native American, mounted
on a wild-eyod steed, held an eagle
eye on the mongrel medley or tho
Disnatch. '
The " Tally Ho " filled with the
choir boys of All Angels Church of
New York hold more unalloyed hap-
piness than could be crowed into
any space of equal size. An ox
team under the Jehuship of Mr,
Hointz, who displayed romarkablo
familiarity with the management
and control of such untamed spirits,
hauled a float evidently represent
ing tho universal beverage, the oc
cupants of the car revealing an as
tonishing capacity for both holding
in and on.
The Cliucktown contingent rode a
wheel of fortune which displayed the
varigated phases and views of the
party which has Just had a monkey
and a parrot time out in Chicago.
"Dory" as the embodiment of all
the miscellaneous assortment kept
his head in a manner which might
be the envy of a merry-go-round
fiend and demonstrated how many
ways a man enn face in a minute
and not grow dizzy.
The procession tiw ik in the town,
and on all sides was enthusiastically
greeted. The display of .flags &kl
bunting was profuse, and everyone
soemod inbued with a lively and
patriotic spirit.
In the afternoon the greased pole,
sack and wheelbarrow races in the
glen drew a large crowd thither and
furnished much amusement. Degen
who possessed unlimited "sand" suc
ceeded in plucking the fruits of the
pole and Mr. Piggory pushed the
one-wheeled chariot with good fin
ancial results.
The ball game in which the Pond
Eddy young men mot the Milford
boys on the diamond was a well
played gontlemanly one, but the vis
itors were evidently not prepared
for the treachorous curves with
which Angle invested the miniature
globe, and slightly murmuring af
ter frantic atmospheric fans, they
successively went back to rest on the
greensward. The score was 6 to 14
in favor of Milford, ending at the
seventh inning.
In the evening Are works illum
ined the town, the displays being
unusually fine. Mr. L.; W. Arm
strong as is his custom presented a
fine entertainment in this line the
closing piece being a bicycle and
rider which was the admiration of
all.
The festivities of the day closed
with ball, which was an enjoyable
conclusion to the round of goioty, in
which all had participated. No
event marred the good order of tho
day. But one arrest was made,
and all seemed to have been imbued
with a spirit of good order and pat
riotic enjoyment.
The fire department is to be con
gratulated on the success which
crowned the effort to celebrate an
njoyablo and happy occasion. Its
finances were replenished and it
furnished a day of amusement and
recreation. The thanks of our peo
ple are duo to its enterprise and the
manner in which it acquitted itself
of every attempted effort.
FOURTH NOTKS.
There must he a woman in it. So
" Aunt Fan " with her tricycle re
cognizing the precedent took part in
the parade.
Mrs. Hart wishing to perpetuate
the glories of the day and render
them more than a fleeting Show
took a largo number of snap shots
of scones and events.
The Golf Club Entertains.
The Milford Golf Club entertained
a number of friends at a five o'clock
on the fourth. The club house was
handsomely decorated, and the re
freshments elaborate and elegant.
The mombers vied with each other
in hospitality. It was a pleasant oc
casion and one which will long be
fragrant in the memories of those
who were among the favored.
Wanted for his Father's Place.
A unanimous call has been ex
tended to Rev. E. Clark Hibshman,
eldest son of the deceased pastor of
Zion's Reformed Church at Strouds-
burg to fill his father's pulpit. The
gentleman, who is now located at
Trappe, has not yet signified his in
tention of accepting the offer.

East Strondabnrg Normal Sohool.
The East Stroudsburg Normal
school announces the opening of its
fall term in another column. It
Is almost unnecessary to spenS: of
the wonderful success to which it
has attained. The large class grad
uated this year attests its populari
ty, and the number of its students
finding situations as teachers gives
ample proof of the high estimation
in which those who receive instruc
tion there are held.
The policy of school boards to em
ploy none but Normal graduates, or
at least those who have had some
training at such institutions, is wise
and in keeping with advanced edu
cational ideas. All who design
making teaching a profession, es
pecially should avail themselves of
an opportunity to take a course of
study at the Normal, and those in
tending to enter on a business or
professional career will find an am
ple curriculum. Our Normal offers
unexceptional facilities, and its
equipment in the way of teachers is
not surpassed by any in the State.
For the Office of County Treasurer.
Hon. John A. Kipp, it is currently

repeatedly shown the high estima
tion in which he was held by elect
ing him to offices of great responsi
bility. He was County Superin
tendent for fifteen years, has been a
member of the Legislature two
terms, held the office of Chief Bur-
goss of the Borough and Was recent
ly elected principal of our public
schools. With such testim onial and
approval of his fitness he needs no
further commendation to entitle
him to the earnest consideration of
his party friends.

CHIEF ARTHUR'S TESTIMONY.
He ftenonnces as False the Assertion That
s Hanna Is a Foe of Labor.
P. M. Arthur, Chief of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers,
disputes the statement of Master
Workman Soverign of tho Knights
of Labor, that McKinley will be op
posed by the laboring men. Chiof
Arthur also says that Mr. Sover
eign's charge that Mark Hanna is a
foe of the workingman is untrue.
He says. :
I know Mr. Hanna personally ,and
know he has never opposed labor.
I am of the opinion that Ma jor Mo
Kinley will be eloctod, and that is
the general opinion on the part of
the country that I como from.
The Philadelphia Times (Dom)
published an article recently from a
well-in-formed correspondent, stat
ing that Mr. Hanna was one of the
most considerate and generous of
employers and that in one of the
large industries with whioh he is
connected he had prevented a reduc
tion of wages, though it was insis
ted on by other stockholders as ne
cessary to prevent running the plant
at a loss.

heim and Harrisburg similiar oc
currences happened. The storm
seems to have been very destructive.
The Author of Unole Tom."
When statesman quibbled and
politicians bickered over the ques
tion of slavery Harriet Beecher
Stowe wrote a book and swept slav
ery away as effectively as Cervantes
laughed away Spain's chivalry.
When this woman wrote her book it
required no amount of courage to
attack the South 's " peculiar insti
tution." But her book, once writ
ten, went out into the byways, into
the cabins and the cottage, and in
