If Street Commissioner Kinsley, in his
forthcoming address before the board of
trade, wishes to strike at the root of
most of the trouble in his department,
he will clearly have to denounce the
measly, antiquated system of ward ap-
preparations. Scranton will never have
the right kind of streets until the money
for their construction and repair shall
be placed in a sum at the disposal of the
street commissioners department, to
be expended as shall be deemed best by
the street commissioner and the mayor.

Memorial Day.

Severe as have been its penalties. the
civil war was nevertheless one of the
greatest benefactions which our nation
has vet experienced. 1t has proved
beneficent not alone in the quietus
which it gave to immediate contentious
that had long wrecked the peace and
threatened the life of the republic, al
though had this been its only merit. 1t
would have been we'll worth its cost.
It has. however, done immeasureable
good in the stimulation of a patriotism
which, planting itself on the firm foun-
dation of saved and sanctifed repub-
lie, has within three decades after APP
pomattox, knit together into an en-
during unity of spirit and of purpose,
two civilizations which, up to that su-
preme arbitrament, had from Plym-
outh and jamestown carried down
inherent antagonism.
In honoring today the memories of
the men who fell in the war against dis
union. it is our privilege. therefore, to
but also, and paramount. as instru-
ments of the providence of Almighty
God, chosen for the working out of His
will In mighty conflict that carried
within its decision perhaps the political
destiny of unnumbered future ages.
For if government Of, by and for the
people had proved on these shores a
failure, one cannot conceive of how it
could ever elsewhere have been carried
to a success. Superficial, indeed, is
that view of the subject which looks
upon the triumph of the North as mere
1y the preponderance Of numbers. If
inspiration from on high ever guided
the course of human action, it came to
this people, not alone through the
heaven-reared Lincoln, but through
the patriotism and the bravery of every
loyal private in the ranks, from Bulls
Run to Gettysburg and from Vicks-
burg to Appomattox.
II the spirit of democracy triumphed
In war because of the heroism of the
dead we now honor. it will today, in the
midst of peace. move forward to vic
tory incomparably finer. For today
we reach by new and solemn paths the
demonstration that in our land all
loyal citizens are equal heirs to glory;
the obscure private with the applauded
chief commander; the humble marine
with the epauletted admiral. There is
no American who will today draw any
distinction between the man who rode
In honor at the van and the man who
trudged in patience at the rear. All
lie now in the democratic vestment of
an equal esteem, joint objects Of sor-
row, co-subjects of praise The lesson
OF their life and death remains as a
common heritage to the posterity for
whom they went to the glory Of a mar
tyr's doom: and it is a. heritage which
will endure.

BACK WITHOUT RICHES
Miss Seibels Returns to Amer
 ica Empty Handed.
OUT OF TWO ESTATES GOT NOTHING

She Believed She Was an Heiress to the seibels Estate In Germany and the Temple Estate In England-No One Would Hear Her story-sen- fenced to the Workhouse.
 BALTIMORE, March 17-Among the 2o5 steerage passengers who landed at Baltimore Monday from the North Ger. man Lloyd steamer Wilhelm at Locust Point was Miss Cornelia Seibels whore turns to America after hunting fortunes In Germany and England to which she believes she Is heir.
 Miss Seibels is 84 years old and was born near Edgefield Courthouse. N. 0. Some time ago she read of the death of Mrs. Seibels in Eberfeldt, Germany, who was said to have left $50, 900, 900 to relatives, some of whom lived in the United States.
 Her father, Miss SeibeIs stated, came to the United States three years after the close of the Revolutionary war, set tied In the Carolinas and married. Miss
 
 Seibels said there are several more mil lions due her from the Temple estate in England. Her mother. she says. was Marion Sarah Temple, daughter of William Temple, from whose family in England another great fortune is said to be awaiting the heirs.
 Eleven weeks ago Miss Seibels said she left New York on North German Lloyd steamer with view of pressing her claims to the two fortunes. Land ing in Bremen she proceeded to Eber4 feldt where she sought the service of a lawyer. No one assisted her and her persistence even did not enlist enough information to satisfy her as to the chances of securing the Seibels for tunes.
 Intending to return to Germany later and make final effort in her own be- half, Miss Seibels decided to go to Eng land and there get legal assistance in obtaining some of the millions of the Temple estate, which were, she thought. only awaiting her presence and proofs before having them handed to her. En- tering London all alone she reached the city by rail. landing at Victoria station. Afterwards, she says, she was arrested, and no argument that she could use would make the London justice. before whom she was taken, believe that she was an heiress to the millions in the Temple estate.
 Thirty days in the workhouse," :" said Miss seibels, twas the justice meted out to me. could not get a law yer to take up my case, so, after serv- ing my sentence, I set my face toward Germany again, where hoped l might have better luck. "
 Again on going to Bremen, she says, she found no one willing to assist her, and finally decided to return to this country. She said she was going to her niece, Mrs Wallie Stratham, in Allan ta, Ga. Before starting on her fortune hunt she lived at Jackson, Miss. She says that the late Justice L. Q. c. La mar of Miss 3sippi was her cousin.

HAS SAILED FOR CUBA
The Bermuda Puts to Sea
 After Much Delay.
NO LAW TO HOLD HER LONGER.

She Was Loaded Down With Forty
 Tons of Ammunition and Guns and
 Had Also Several Cases of Dynamite
 Aboard-Her Intention Is to Land
 Somewhere on the Coast of Cuba.
 NEW YORK, March l7.-Despite the efforts of the Spanish consuls, minis ters and spies in this country, in the face of the loss of the steamship J. W. Hawkins off Long Island and the seiz. ure of United States marshals of the steamship Bermuda. the Cubans in this vicinity have now upon the sea bound for the island of Cuba, whose freedom is the one thought of their lives, that identical cargo of ammunition on board the same steamship.
 On another vessel, it is understood are a score or more of mon who are to transferred to the Bermuda somewhere on the high seas.
 The Bermuda left New York harbor Sunday morning. It was shortly after 8 o'clock when she got up her an- chor, 10 o'clock when she passed Sandy Hook and about the noon hour when she distanoed the newspaper tugs that followed her to sea.
 The air was filled with rumors Sunday. Thomas Estrada Palma has disappeared from town and General Calixto Garcia left his home early in the morning and has not yet returned. The report was that they had sailed for Cuba and that it was the intention of the patriots to perfect the system of government in Cuba in order to induce Q more substantial support from other countries, including the United States. than that of mere sympathy.
 No law of this country prohibited the vessel from loading her decks down to the waters edge with Runpowder and arms for the insurgents in Cuba and in all 40 tons of ammunition and guns were placed on board the Bermuda and also several cases containing dynamite.
