DID NOT WRITE A LETTER.
Major Stillwell Says Mr.. Van Scoter
Was Mistaken.

The following letter was received
yesterday from Major +. w. Stillwell,
of the Thirteenth regiment:
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In today's Tribune you quote one
Van Scoten, of Susquchanna county, as
saying that Captain Kelly, of the adult
ant generals office, Harrisburg, showed
him letter signed by me and addressed
to Governor Hastings asking that the
Thirteenth regiment, Pennsylvania vol
unteer infantry, be kept in service.
AS / have not written to the governor
or the adjutant general since joining ,he
army, / am led to believe that Mr.. Van
Scoten has been seeing things which do
not exist.
Please give this communication the
same prominence that you gave Mr.. Van
Scoten's TRADE. Respectfully yours,
+. w. Stillwell.

PARADE DATE CHANGED,
Firemen's Parade Will Be September
80 Instead of 30.

The date for the annual parade and
inspection of the fire department has
been changed from September 20 to
Friday, September 80. This action was
taken by Chief Hickey and the dis
trict engineers at meeting held last
night.
The reason for the change appears in
the fact that the Pittston department
parade will be held on the Goth. AS
guests in Pittston on that date will be
the Monhagen and McQuoid compan-
les, of Middletown, n. Y. The mem
bers of these companies have wide
acquaintance among Scranton firemen
and want to be here on the day of the
Scranton parade. They will be accom-
panied by Chief Charles Heigham and
other Middletown officials.

FALSE ALARM GIVEN.
Firemen Had an Exciting Ruiz to
Madison Avenue and Mulberry
Street All for Nothing.

The fool-joker was abroad in the city
last night. He made himself liable to
fine of $25 or imprisonment for not
more than one year or both by sending
in false fire alarm.
Box % at the corner of Madison ave-
nue. and Mulberry street was pulled
at 11.55 o'clock. When the district
companies, Chief Hickey and District
Chief McManus responded they found
that the only thing required of them
was to cool their horses heels on the
pavement and long to hold by the
scruff of the neck the cheerful indiv-
idual who did the trick.
The box is on the southeast corner
1t was under the full glare of an arc
light and bright moonlight last night.
Only one man was found who could
give any clue and his evidence was
very vague. Billy Martin, of Crystal
company, was walking east on Mulber-
ry street between Jefferson and Madi-
son avenues when the alarm sounded
He turned in the opposite direction
from the box at the first clang of the
bell ih order to better distinguish the
alarm number. When he heard "21"
and faced uD the hill again he could
see nobody at the box, a half block
away.
Martin said that two men went up
the street ahead of him. His only 9TH
er indefinite information was that one
of the men wore a straw hat.
The patrolman, on whose beat the
box is located, did not appear in an
swer to the alarm, although the police
regulations require him to respond.
From this it is presumed he had gone
for his midnight lunch at his home,
which is a half-mile away; or that he
had seen the box pulled and gave
chase to the man who pulled it; or
| that he was absent under orders from
someone high in authority.
Chief Hickey satisfied himself that
| the box had been pulled. Not only mad
| the glass containing the release key
| been broken but the interior mechan-
| ism showed that the lever had been
| properly manipulated.

American Flag the Oldest.

1t IS not generally known that the
star spapgled banner Of the United
States is older than any one Of the pres
ent flags of the great European powers.
1t was adopted in l777 10y the Congress
of the Thirteen Colonies of North
America, then at war with the mother
country. The yellow and red Spanish
flag came out IN 1855; the French trl-
color was adonie ed III 1894; the red En-
glish emblem, with the union jack in
the upper corner, dates from 1901; the
Sandman NOV the Italian) flag first
Huttered in 1913; the Austro- Hundarian
flag was one of the consequences Of the
compromise of 1867; the present Ger
man flag first appeared in 1871, and the
Russian tricolor is quite recent affair.
The only modification that the Amer
can flag has undergone since its origin
consists in the addition of new star
every time new state is taken into the
Union. The stars now number forty
five, and, unfortunately for SPAN, it is
more than likely that they have not vet
come to the end of their multiplication.

CATTLE SCARCE IN MEXICO.
Great Herds OF tha Republic Reduced
Within the Last Two Years.

Great Herds OF the Republic Reduced
Within the Last Two Years.
From the Omaha World Herald: The
astonishing announcement is now
made that Mexico is almost without
cattle. This surprising state Of af
fairs is due to the tremendous demand
for Mexican beef that began almost ex-
actly two years ago and has resulted
In cutting down TO very small NUM-
oers the seemingly iEeXhaustibie herds
OF northern Mexico. The state Of Chi
huahua and Sonora alone have been
shipping to Cuba frCm 5000 to 5000
head OF cattle month. That is why
the Cuban rebellion has lined the
pockets of the Mexican stockmen with
gold. Il is singular, indeed, when one
stops to consider, that Mexico, which
so cruelty felt the iron hand of Spain
centuries ago, should in these modern
days furnish food in vast quantities
Tor the enemies Of the descendants of
CoTtez. During the last twelve months,
also, the movement of live stock from
Mexico to The United States has be-

on undated, and still exists. 1t is ap-
parent. therefore, that the Mexican
cattleEen have realized handsomely
from this product Of their ranches; in
fact, majority Of them have practic-
ally exhausted their herds. The great
or portion Of Mexican live stock bound
for the United States passes through
F9Sn Ariv 70
the western markets where the pack
ing houses are located. Kansas City
taking a greater number than any
other place. Even in California there is
demand for Mexican taef. because
Of the fact that ranChmen there hast
ened TO dispose Of their herds in east
ern markets, THEREBY diminishing the
supply for home consumption. The ex-
tent OF the exports can best be ap-
preciated when the figures are con-
sidered. During the last quarter OF
1897 the total value OF cattle that came
into the United States was 1922 .522.
and this, too. regardless of the fact
that the duty upon cattle imported
from Mexico is about 50 per head. All
these cattle are of low grade and the
beef they make is far from being equal
to the American product. The result.
which might have been expected, is
that in Mexico the price Of beef has
risen TO unheard of figures, ana the
Mexicans are likely TO be in the posi-
ton OF the miner who sold the only
