THE MAKING OF soLDIERR
Mayor Lambing Says the Militia Would
Soon Become Veterans Under Fire.

Mayor Lambing Says the Militia Would
Soon Become Veterans Under Fire.
Mayor Lambing, of Cory, went to Home
stead yesterday to visit Company A of the
Fifteenth regiment. The boys come from
his town, and the genial Mayor took enough
cigars along to 60 around He said the
troopers were very anxious to get away,
and they are waiting patiently for the order
to leave town. In his opinion the militia
will be kept at Homestead all summer.
The Mayor was much pleased with the
athletic young fellows seen in camp. He
remarked TO Colonel Hulings that one fight
would make full-fedged soldiers out of
them. A gentleman who heard the con-
versation took exception, and said there are
many who believe that the present gener-
alton would make poor fighters.
81 don't believe it, responded Mavor
Lambing, with some feeling. "The soldiers
of 1860 were made of the same material.
1t cannot be said of the
young men of America that they
are cowardly. They have the military
spirit drilled into them by their fathers. the
majority of whom fought in the late war.
The boys are made of the same determined
stuff A half hour under fire would make
veterans out of these youngsters, and the
next day they would 60 into battle cheer
fully if it was necessary. In my experience

were paid off yesterday afternoon, and
gathered around the gates. John Bourk, a
worker, and Watchman Foley engaged in

alderman: A crowd of 400 strikers gathered
outside the Office, making threats. A son
of Foley rushed into the Squire's Office and
struck Bourk in the face, cutting cash.
The crowd became clamorous, and the
deputy sheriffs finding they could not con-
troll the men, telegraphed to Homestead.
The Sheridan troop was sent up. on gallop,
and arrived in time to prevent q general
fight. The two Foleys were held for court
and taken out of Duquesne by the cavalry.

u Ii Believed Ii lieut., Peary May Hav

70 Ii Believed Ii cut. Peary May Have
Found Their Descendants
'"There is good reason to believe,
Judging from the contents of papers
transmitted privately to my hands
some months ago-although have never
spoken of the matter hitherto-that
Lieut.. Peary, in whose behalf a rescu-
ing expedition Is about to start for the
Arctic, has actually met with the fam
Gus lost ~colonists of Greenland"
So said one of the most distinguished
ethnologists in the government employ
at Washington. He added: you may
remember that the Norsemen estab-
lished settlements during early times in
Greenland. One off these colonies was
entirely cut of from civilization and
lost as Is recorded in the sagas and
other traditional histories of those peo-
pie. Winters grew colder, and n un-
precedentedly severe a following
another, the little gathering of squat
ters In that icy region was shut away
from the rest of mankind by frozen
fields along the shore and the heaping
up Of mighty Ice cliffs, through which
there was no passage and oven which 1t
was impossible TO climb.
THAT was six hundred years ago.
Since then expedition after expedition
has sought these lost settlers in vain.
Owing to geographical indefniteness in
the original accounts written on the
subject not even the locality occupied
by the colony could be very nearly as
certained. l am not at liberty just now
to say more than that Lieut.. Peary has
apparently discovered the descendants
of these vanished Norsemen, somewhat
less than two hundred in number,
dwelling in a sort of icebound oasis,
without either entrance or exit, as they
themselves have so many generations
believed. To all intents and purposes
they are so many Rip Van Wrinkles.
Peary is now at Whale sound. Next
summer he viii strike northward, with
the intention to determine the coast
line as far as it extends. If the land
extends as far as the pole he may at
tain hat long-sought goal"
