when James P. Dickson represented
the Sixteenth ward; but it is worthy of
note that Captain Kellow did not seek
the nominations for those two terms.
He first took his seat in the old
twelve-ward council on June II, 1875
and, upon reorganization and re-elec-
ton the following year,was made presi-
dent of common council April 8, 1876,
for one year.
Changed to Select Council.
| He remained in common council until
April 1878, when he took his seat in the
select branch, where he has since
served continuously, excepting from
April 1886. to April, 1888. He was chosen
president in 1888, 1883 and 1889.
His career as a city legislator was
marked by conservatism and char
istic desire to serve Scranton well. He
was unswerving in his Republicanism.
but not in a partisan sense. His re-
pugnance to lengthy debate and useless
talking was known to all members
which, in a measure, accounted for the
| wrapt attention accorded him when he
had the floor. Such occasions We're
made conspicuous by their rarity, and
when he did speak it was only to right
wrong or to present some brief but
emphatic argument which, on its merit,
demanded consideration,
At a meeting of the officers of the
Thirteenth regiment last night the
death of Captain Kellow was discussed
with profound regret and orders We're
formally given bearing upon the mill
| II. at fhn nj
onel Ripple issued orders that Company
Il, Captain Kellow's command, and the
regimental drum corps shall, under
command of Lieutenant j. w. kam-
| beck, act as the escort of the remains
| and that other enlisted men who desire
to attend the funeral shall report with
side arms at the armory at l o'clock
tomorrow afternoon to Lieutenant j. .,
Dmmick.
The regimental battalion, field and
staff and n-commissioned staffs will
also attend and will wear the usual
badge of mourning on the left arm and

will be displayed at half-mast until af-
ter the funeral.
Action Taken by Company.
An order issued to Company b last
night by Lieutenant Kambeck contains
an invitation to exmembers to join the
ranks of the company tomorrow after
noon.
Lieutenant Ezra Griffin post, No 199
Grand Army of the Republic, by order
of Commander Smith B. Mott, will at
tend the funeral in full uniform. The
post order contains the information
that Captain Kellow joined with Others
in the organization July Z, 1879, as a
charter member
The funeral will take place tomorrow
and services will be held at Elm Park
church at o'clock. Rev, w. II. Pearce

Some Notable Doges.
1ira pf narcppal pa,,oi IN

In the line of personal reminiscence,
the speaker called attention to six
doges who, out of 1l6 in ALL were either
through personal achievement or men,
orable circumstance worth remember
ing. The first is Angelo Badoer (Sl0-2)
the tribune of Rialto, leader of the Re-
public against the Franks, foul der Of
the city of Venice ana joint builder
of the ducal palace. Tha second, Orse-
olo (991-l009, conquered the Dalma-
tians, instituted the beautiful Ceremo-
NAL for the wedding of the doge to the
Adratic and greatly extended the sway,
commerce and grandeur of the Nene-
tian people. The third, Domenico Sell
vo Q07l-SD was notable in the main for
the fact that his wife, the daughter
of the emperor. Constantine Ducas Nj,
was the first Venetian lady to eat food
with a fork. Her husband aided the
eastern empire to resist the Norman
onslaught, defeated Robert Guiscard at
Durazzo and was deposed soon after.
The fourth, Domenico Mchieli Q1l7-SW,
beat back the Saracens at Jaffa and
captured Tyre, after four-months
siege. The fifth, Sebastiano Ziani
Q172-7S is notable chiefly for having
been chosen by the mobiles instead of
by the people; and for having enlarged
the ducal palace, which he decorated
with works of Byzantine art. Finally
comes the intrepid Enrica Dandolo
Ql92-l20O who, at "a years of age, head
ed two attacks upon Constantinople
and succeeded both time, with a mere
handful of men, in putting to flight a
fighting force of Greek soldiers from
ten to fifteen times as large.
Venetian Territorial Expansion.
1t was during Dandolo's time that the
Frankish mobiles who participated in
the Fourth crusade made the bargain
with Venice whereby in exchange for
$3.50, 900 in silver, paid in advance, and
one-half the spoils of conquest, the

The HISTORY OF Venice
Second Epoch Dealt with by ". hud-
son Shaw in His Address.
ERA OF GREAT ADVANCEMENT
ConstantinOple Had to Succnmb to tho
Arms of the Vcnetians and the City on
the Lagoon Was Enriched with
Byzantine Works Of Art.

The second lecture by w. Hudson
Shaw in his curse of six lectures ON
the history { the Republic of Venice
was giver asst evening in the Young
Mems G istian association lecture
room, y ire an audience Of Interested
men q women. The period covered
was from 99l, or the date of the acces-
sion of the Doge Orseolo II, known as the
magnificent, whose conquest of the Dal-
matan pirates freed the commerce of
Venice in the Adratic, to 1904, when
the Doge Enrico Dandolo, in conjunc-
tion with the French successfully COM
pleted his second siege of Constanti-
nople and returned a victor from the
Bosphorus, carrying back to Venice
great stores of Byzantine art-treasures.
This was period of rapid enrichment
among the Venetian people. Originally
nation of poor fishermen and salt
workers, they had, by pertinacious
pushing of the trade in salt, of Eu-
ropes available supply Of which neces-
sary Venice then controlled more than
one-half, and also by the cultivation OF
general commerce, risen rapidly to af-
tiuence. Great forests of larch and ash
mainland to form the piers upon which
Venetians built their homes and
temples. SO great was this single in
stance of their industry and wealth
that it has been asserted that the eli
mate Of Italy was sensibly altered in
consequence of this denudation Of
wooded areas surmounting its chief
water sheds. A traffic in slaves was also
begun, with results more profitable in
ducats than in ethics. Indeed in the
short period of less than three centuries
Venice rose from the rank of a strug
Cling colony of refugees dotting her
thirty-mile- lagoon to that of the
nation which commanded the carrying
trade between the East and the West
and was prepared to spread it's domin-
ion by conquest until it commanded the

A Commercial People

The genius of the Venice of this early
day, we'll expressed during the first
three crusades, was commercial rather
than religious. There was no lack of
individual worship, but that worship
was placid rather than ecstatic; and
like the worship of some who belong to
later civilization, it never interfered
with business. While Frankish and
Teutonic Europe was shivering with
the emotonalism of its first crusades,
Venice kept its head clear for bargain
making, and once actually attacked a
fleet of Christian Zealots, in lieu of more
promising prey. But this commercial
spirit, if not picturesque and romantic,
was at least honest, as an inscription
found by Mr.. Ruskin on the altar of the
church of st. Giacomo di Rialto attests
This inscription, (afterward pictured on
the screen, with a translation in Mr.
Ruskin's own artistic handwriting
commanded as follws:

Where the twilight shadows fall;
We have reached--by faith inspired
The sweet haven We desired,

Though the way was dark before 10,
And the tempest gathered o'cr Us.
Yet, the faith within Us bore Us
Through whatever did befall;
Though with sorrow-having met her

Yet We feel the end Is better
After all
We have now no cares to bind US;
Though the wayside past remind US

And No murmur not In madness,
For our grief hath brought us gladness
