COMPANY DRILLS WELL.

West Scranton Military company, as
1t has come to be known, had another
drill last evening and they We're COM
plimented by the presence of a large
number of spectators, who applauded
literally. The drill was held on Main
avenue and Captain Lewis and Lieu
tenants Davis and Edwards We're in
charge. There were about fifty men in
line and it would take a military critic
TO distinguish between this, their Sec
ond drill, and at least two months
work.
Every man is in earnest, and now that
the call has come for which they or
ganized TO be prepared for, there is
much quiet enthusiasm apparent. The
proffer OF the services of the company
has been made by the officers both to
President Mckinley and Governor
Hastings and an answer is expected
by next week. Every member is re-
quested to try and be present at every
drill. The next one will be held Tues
day evening and it is probable that
the remaining officers Of the company
will be selected. 1t should be under
stood by all that this company is at
tached to no regiment in prospect or
is organized for any purpose other than
to go TO the front and fight as a COM
pany.

Perhaps 1t was because of the pres
ent Warlike times and the apparent
connection between the present and
what next Monday means as Memorial
Day, that caused the depth of patriot
ism which surged in and about the
several public schools on this side yes
terday afternoon. Here one room,
there two or more rooms, and else
where the whole school observed in
some manner the approaching anniver-
sary on which all loyal Americans pay
tribute to a nations honored dead.
The exercises, consisting as they did
of songs, music, reCitations, solos, etc,
differed only in length or quantity, for
the same patriotism was in all and a
proper conception of the meaning of
the exercises and their connection with
Memorial Day seemed to pervade each
youthful mind.
At No. 80, of which II. L. Morgan is
principal, the pupils of the principals s

A distressing misfortune befel An
ME, the four-year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Lewis, of Margaret
avenue, yesteI day morning. The little
child had gone upstairs where many OF
her play things were kept and while
thus engaged she found some matches,
which were kept in one of the rooms.
She lit one of the matches which ig-
nited her clothes and she was terribly
burned. Her agonizing screams brought
her mother to the scene. She took in
the situation at a glance and picking
up coat, she wrapped it about her
daughter smothering the flames. The
childs clothing had been burned al
most entirely from her body and she
was badly burned from the waist up.
Her face presented a pitiable sight
DIR. Donne IN the meantime had been
sent for and upon his arrival somewhat
eased the agony Of the little sufferer.
1t is feared that she inhaled the flame
and If that is the case, her chances for
recovery are doubtful.

"IN the industries Of the country,
the most significant fact is that in
different branches there are constant
accounts of additional works start
ing, some only after a few months or
a years rest, but others which have
been idle for several years, and one
for twelve years. With new ma
chimes or new owners old works are
rapidly put in shape to meet a new
demand. This appears not only in
textile works, where a few are chang
ing from cotton to silk or linen, but
even in iron and steel, notwithstand-
ing the present enormous production
and current low prices. In the cot
ton workers strike no change APP
pears, except that demands for fur
ther legislation against mill owners
are made in legislatures. -Dun's Re-
view."
