referred to the great changes in com.

Since the great powers We're bitten
with the mesalomania with which the
Germans are accustomed to taunt us as
| il it were out exclusive popularity, the
German empire has increased six-fo.d
and the French four-foid: while Eng
land has only added a modest third to
her colonial empire" Answering the
argument that 1t is useless to colonize
barren wastes he pointed to the mag
nificent enterprise of the Canadian Pa
cific railway, that had opened up a vast
| country of the greatest wheat fields,
| and was about to open what We're per-
haps the greatest gold fields in the
| world.
Three-FOld Duty of the Empire.
Looking to the certainty" he said,
that we are likely to be excluded by
hostile tariffs from any country where
the British flag does not float, our pres
ent policy is to take very firm at
;itude ard to maintain free markets.
What the foresight of our ancestors has
| done for us in building great empire
| we must continue to do for our success
| sors. This is not the policy of agrees
| sion or lawlessness. We have a three
fold duty: First. to keep what rightly
belongs to us; second, in Lord Rose
bery's admirable words. to peg out
claims for posterity.' and third, if any

prevent them" Laughter and cheers. I

the words recorded by John in Reve-
lations, kits: "And I looked and be-
hold, a pale horse, and his name, that
sat on him, was DEATH"
The speaker spoke of the idea that
Death was living intelligence, though
only controlled by Jesus Christ. That
Death only came when Christ judged
that II was the opportune time to take
his children home. To his beloved, this
dread messenger came as a welcome
one. No discrimination was shown,
high and low alike received the mes
senger and his summons was irrevoca-
BILE. But, the same means would unite
friends here with those who had gone
before.
The pastor also paid loving tribute
to the memory of her, who had been a
beacon light to all with whom she had
come in contact. The church would
surely miss her. The church choir, In
charge of Mrs. 3. G. Beddoe. sang the
selections. At the conclusion of the
services, friends looked upon the face
of the deceased for the last time. as
she lay in the calm of sweet repose,

ITALIANS AT WAR.

A serious outbreak of hostilities
among the Italion marketmen of Cedar
avenue was imminent yesterday after
noon. Joe Squeelc. whose stand is at
the corner of Cedar avenue and Alder
street does not look with favor on the
audacity of Tony Banotti in opening a
market a few rods from his place.
III feeling has existed between them
for several weeks. Yesterday Tony
was engaged with his ice cream wagon
distributing to his select trade when
he passed Joes stand. Tony made a
slurring remark, which was resented
by Joe in a forcible manner, that dis
colored one of the optics of Tony, who
rushed back to his little store grasp
ing a revolver and stiletto. Post haste
he returned but found Joe securely
locked in his store. The glass in the
door was broken and the lock was
turned. Joe got out by the rear door
and made his escape without any une
necessary delay. Patrolman Schmidt
was sent for, He searched the angry
Italian, but the weapons were not to
be found.

caught the canine, while a friend ran
and notified Patrolman McColligan.

him, however, the dog broke away and
escaped. Not without again biting Mr..
Carpenter on the hand. The animal

SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS.

Lieutenant Michael Spellman and
Roy Brink captured two suspicious
characters at Trips crossing last
evening. The arrest was accompanied
by many dangers, and had not the
lieutenant used little strategy and
nerve he would undoubtedly have
Jared badly.
When searched Immediately after
their arrest, three ugly looking revolv-
ers of the Bull Dog type and all cham
bers loaded, also several knives were
found in the pockets of the men, which
leads to the belief that they must have
despoiled a hardware store. They gave
their names as Charles Rice, of Lin
coin, Nebraska, and Thomas Burns.

The prospects of having a company
of the National Guard, COMPOSED OF
South Side young men are bright. The
article in this column of Saturday
Tribune, relating to the probability OF
a company being formed here, arous-
ed much enthusiasm and comment
among the leading citizens. The move
ment to bring the branch of the regi-
ment to this section was seconded on
all sides. A gentleman particularly
active in the organization of a com"
pany, interviewed prominent ex-
officer of the Thirteenth regiment yes
terday with reference to the matter,
which was discussed at length. The
intention OF the South Side man was
to form body to replace Company &.
which much difficulty has been expert
encc1 in attempting to organize.
However, in the event that Company
r Is ready to be mustered in Thurs
day evening next, when Company A
will be sworn in, the company to be
formed here. will be attached to the
Second battalion of the regiment.
Such was the statement of the eX-
officer interviewed yesterday, notwith-
standing that it has been said that but
four companies of the new regiment
were to be allowed to Scranton.
Last night the names of fifteen
young men We're taken for the propos-
ed company. August Schimpff, prorri-
etor of .ierma mia hall, has kindly CIV
en- the use of his hall for tonight when
meeting will be held to formulate a
plan to organize.
An annoying impression in regard TO
the movement has been spread. Fully
twenty-five men of the South Side
have been physically examined for
membership in Company A. Many OF
these have been led to believe that
they are to be transferred to the new
company. This is untrue, however
While the gentlemen interested In the
movement TO form the new company
would, from a persons standpoint, be
| pleased to have the excellent fellow;
who volunteered for Company A, they
| do rot wish to do the least injustice
20 the organization of the other com
| psny. The meeting tonight in Ger
