canize the Salvation Army He Sent the
Word to London: "We Will Stand by
the American Constitution"
New York, March S.-The first ami
versary of the founding of the Ameri-
can Volunteers was celebrated yester-
day by two big meetings at Metropoli-
tan Temple in the afternoon and at
Cooper Union in the evening. At the
meeting last night Commander Bal
lington Booth said:
During the IL years of our Christian
labor in this country we tried to Amer
icanize the Salvation Army, because
we naturally and rightly considered
that country that had progressed as
America had was capable Of governing
it's own property, its own resources,
and training its own officers without
interference from a foreign quarter.
For II years we labored increasingly
to Americanize the Salvation Army in
this country. and were it not for the
interference brought to bear upon US
under a foreign international policy
we would have remained under the
old flag.
1--WE were confronted with the diff
Guilty of standing by our flag or aban-
doning our policy of Americanizing the
army in America, and we unhesitating-
ly sent back the answer, We Will STAND
by the constitution and government of
the United States
at is not right that any movement,
either civil, religious or monetary. in
this country should submit to the gov
ernment of foreign power Though
we lose all. and life, too, in the bar
gain, we will stand by the American
people"
Commander Booth will probably com
mission 500 officers in Association Hall
tonight.

Some time ago Joseph Lefevre, of New
Castle Hundred, pure hased II can of
peaches in our city and the members Of
his family on eating the same, were all
made sick A physician was called in and
he declared that their symptoms indicated
lead poisoning The peach can was examin-
ed, and the opinion was given that their
suiferings proceeded from it.. This cir.
cumstance led Mr.. l. to desire the pas
sage of a law requiring all canncrs in our
State to place the date of canning on their
labels 50 that tho citizens can determine
the time that the fruit has been kept be-
fore they purchase it. The requirement
may be good one, but we doubt its util
ity. If tho can was properly sealed, and
the air excluded the fruit would be as
good at the end of ten years as at tho end
Of month, and there would be no more
danger Of lead poisoning, as tho lattor
danger could only follow imperfect seal
ing or soldering, and would not ho agra
vatcd by lapse of time.

name Is rather to be chosen than great
riches, and the immortal bard Of Avon
says:
'There arc not words in all languages
