tional officers, not only to the Repub-
lican party, but to the people of the
country at large. If Pennsylvania fails
to do it's full duty, if there is even the
least faltering, 1t will encourage the
opposition to hopeful effort and again
in 1900 we will have the possibility Of
another period of trepidaton, unquiet
and mistrust.
Take into consideration, he said, the
effect of this unrest upon our business
interests. They look to the Republi-
can party for protection against a repe-
tition of the incidents of 80. Do moth
ing on Tuesday next that will incite
dscouragement or cause uneasiness
among our business men. If we falter
even a little it will be just that much
of a detrment. You remember i'm 1896,
while there was a possibility of another
outcome of that great battle, how capt.
tai went into hiding, how business was
depressed, how industries Jagged. You
remember the change that came over
this land when PENNSYLVANIA repud-
ated reputation by 100000 majority.
Let Pennsylvania do nothing that will
Impair this beneflcent consummation.
DO nothing that will pave the way for
the repeal of the Dingley bill do moth
ing that will encourage those who
would repeal that bill. Party bicker-
ings should not deter us from our para
mount duty. The party of sound money
and good government is still alive.
RESTS WITH REPUBLICANS.
Whatever may come or go, whatever
may be said of this man or that on the
ticket, whatever may be your factional
strifes, remember that prosperity and

{ BEFORE BREAKFAST. S

A number Of society women in an
other city, with more leisure than ex-
perience, have started the philanthrop-
ic scheme of planning evening enter
tainments for the domestic help, where
cooks, house maids, nurse maids, etc,
may congregate for amusement. 1t is
probable that Scranton has not yet
reached the stage where the back
porch, the garden gate and the picnic
ground have begun to pail to any
popular extent on the jaded tastes of
denizens below stairs. This will per-
haps be one of the few fads that the
gentle sisterhood of housewives will
not be in such intense haste to adopt.
Mrs. Sarah H. ROrer is or rather

newspapers during her stay at the
Nashville centennial. Scrantonians
are not such peculiar people, after all.
The Scranton Railway company owns
the right of way over the old boule-
ward. If this corporation could be in
duced to lay out a cinder path as far
as the rifle range at Dickson City, all
the sins of. omission and commission
of the street car people would be for
given by bicyclists in general The
latter wouldn't mind being run over
now and then by the cars if they could
have nice cinder path to ride on when
they were not being run over 1t is a
delightful bit of country up in that
direction and a cinder path should go
thence.

home the little command, Love one

taught during his brief career to

Major w. S. Millar's resignation of
his rank and position as inspector of
the Third brigade, National Guard of
pennsylvania, was a sacrifice which
Will bear a word of comment The
position Of inspector, from every
standpoint, is the finest in the Guard,
and it is coveted as is no other office
an officer proficient to the extreme in
military forms, model in personal con-
duct, and possessing that subtle and
uncommon quality which at once COM
mands the respect of subordinates and
yet bears with it a kindlier spirit
which is vitally essential in the mas
terry of volunteers. To this must be
added the importance of the office
the standing of a brigade rests upon
the judgment of one man. That Ma
jor Millar was selected for such a po-
sition and that in his conduct he won
the commentator of the entire Guard
of the state-of which the Third bri-
gade is the best--is significant and fur
ther compliment would fall weak. The
sacrifice Of such a prize, after twenty
years of marching up the height was
made, as may be supposed, after a
severe battle, in which business, prac-
tical and rough, trampled upon the
delicate form of fame. Major Millar
will devote all his future time to his
business as alderman Of the busy

BIGGEST PASSENGER COACH
Is Being Completed at the Nashville
Exposition.

Nashville. May 1.-THE largest pas
senger coach ever built is just being
completed at the Tennessee Centennial
exhibition at Nashville by the Seaboard
Airline railway. 1t is 1O2 feet long
and % feet high, and if a track wide
enough for it to travel on could be
found it would be too large to go from
Nashville because it could not get
get through the tunnels
BY the side of this coach an 80 ton
locomotive looks like toy engine The
top of the tenders of the big mOgul en-
gines in the transportation exhibit at
the exposition are just on a level with
the platform of this coach, and an aY-
erage sized man could sit between the
rails and allow this coach to pass over
him without even being scratched by
the brake beam.
The car will seat 100 people and it
contains u times the space of one OF
the ordinary day coaches of the road,
after which it is modelled. From the
rails to the floor of the car is seven feet,
and the car is "a feet wide.
The car is not intended for carrying
passengers, but to give banquetS IN
The interior contains so much room
that it has been divided into two
stories of which the lower is used as
the banquet hall and the upper as a
dormitOry for the employees of the rail
road who visit the exposition. Light
is furnished to the upper story through
the ventilators in the car roof.
The car is provided with a full set
of trucks the wheels of which are six
feet in diameter, or about the same
size as the driving wheels of the fastest
locomotives, and are twice the diameter
of the ordinary passenger car wheels.
