Rev. N. F. Stahl-The meeting bears a
great significance in setting at work the
forces which will develop in high degree
American patriotism. The monument
will not be temporary; it will be enduring
and will stand TO tell the history Of the
past to coming generations; it will testify
to the greatness of the men who
made the greatest of nations. Egypt,
Ninevab, Babylon, Greece and Rome, were
buried beneath their own ruin, because
they had not men to perpetuate their his
tory; therefore, let US take warning and
perpetuate in the heart aud mind one of
the noblest patroits and greatest soldier Of
ou- time
AN OBJECT LESSON.
John h. Farr-S Something in remem.
brance Of General Sheridan. symbolic of
his enthusiasm, daring and high order Of
leadership, would dispel the illusion that
he was only dashing cavalry officer. Our
| present heritage came to US In great de-
gree through a river OF blood and carnage
one who mingled In that strife should be
perpetuated not only as an honor to the
soldier, but as an object lesson to oursel-
yes and children, awakening greater love
OF country and the qualities of Sheridan.
II. V. Powderly-General Grant said,
"a man who was perfect in his general
ship must have had brains" Commemo-
rate General Sheridan's deeds with an Or
nament to which our children can point
with pride Scranton has honored Colum.
bus, the pioneer Of discovery, and Wash
ington, the pioneer Of liberty: 1t would be
particularly fitting to add memorial to a
noted soldier. The lessons of Rome, Greece
and other ancient cities may we'll be taken
to heart In their splendor they Travelled
to ruin. The lessons Of such men as Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan should be needed
We have many In our population, particu-
larry Of foreign birth, who do not know
the meaning OF citizenship: show them the
statue Of a Sheridan; point to it, and teach
them what victories it commentaries.
EVEN UNTO DEATH.
Rev. d. W. Skellenger- Sheridan's char
acter, in following to the end successfully
one idea and purpose, is what we admire:
his memory and character are an honor to
the living. Let us perpetuate him for the
futures sake: his indomitable pluck could
well be inspired in the breasts OF our boys
When the little fellows who are now tod
dlers ask about the man impersonated by
the statue, tell them Of his loyalty, tell
them Of his patriotism, even unto death

Crowds storp'd to Speculate on the
Species OF Hugo Fish.
Yesterday there arrived from Baltl.
more sturgeon ten feet long and
weighing 26O pounds consigned to n
market man on Penn avenue, near
Lackawanna, The huge fish was placed
on a stand near the sidewalk and at.
tracted more attention than any other
object in the business community.
Nobody passed the spot without a
glance at it and most persons stopped
to examine the monster and speculate
on Its species. The concensus of opin
ion placed 1t in the shark category.
The fish doesn't look particularly
edible with his every lay clothes on,
but the market men say that its flesh
is one Of the seasons dslieacies. The
meat is cut into steaks and prepared
