An Old Land Mark cone.
During the past week the stone from
the old chimney of the guard house
at Paupack, which was built in the
year 1777, or early in 1778, have
been removed, and are now doing
service under the ground, having
been used in making an underdrain,
to make more tillable a piece of land
on what was once the Calvin Pellett
farm, but now owned and occupied
by the Killams.
The stirring events of long ago
are known but little about. Time
in its onward course is scattering
decay over the earth. Whenever
we look about us we see such proofs
of the great changes wrought by
his all-powerful hand, and we can
almost imagine we hear the tramp
of his advancing step, and catch
the sound of falling ruins. The
rocks are yielding to decay, and the
forests fall, crumbling into dust
All nature, indeed, grows old and
dies. Greece, once the light of the
world, and Rome the terror of all
nations, have lost their ancient
lustre and power. Time has dim
med their former glory. From
whence came the Mound Builders,
whose works bear the mark of me-
chanical thought and mind? How
little we know of the long past, and
even now we know not within so
recent a period of one hundred and
twenty years, who built and ocou-
pied the Paupack fort and guard
house. History, sometimes as un-
reliable as Esop's Fables, teaches
us that our forefathers landed at
Plymouth Rock, along the Eastern
coast, when all the gathered facts
prove quite conclusively that they
came ashore ana first trod the
American soil in another place.
1t is a fact, however, that there
was here on the easterly side of this
beautiful Paupack valley century
or more ago, a stockade or fort with
a guard house attachment; that a
person came ON foot through the
then great forests, from Wyoming
Valley in the night time to warn
the settlers of their great danger of
being killed by the red mans bullet
or scalping knife. All this we be-
lieve to be true because our grand.
fathers and grandmothers told us
so. We know the name OF the great
captain that rode from Winchester
to Cedar Creek, and the black charg
er that carried him so quickly hence
all Of which has been celebrated il
song. and will forever remain fam
ous. But who was he and what the
name of him who on foot and alone
braved the dangers of a lurking foe
through forest and stream, that ou
people here might seek safer an,
less dangerous places than thei
newly adopted homes

HARRISBURG LETTER.
Compendium of Important
News of the Past Week.

Our Special Correspondent at Harrisburg
Writes on Matters Of vital Impor-
tance to Every citizen Of the Key
stone State.
HARRIsBURe. April 1s-with all in
terests centered on the United States
Senate and House of Representatives
during the past week, the attention
of the state officials has been partial
ly abstracted from their ordinary
duties and it is quite evident that
they now anticipate active hostilities
Governor Hastings is non -committal
on the vital subjects now being con-
sidered by our representatives at
Washington, saying that he has
confidence in the President and the
two branches of Congress, but the
Resolution that was passed by the
Pennsylvania Legislature in the 81
session and to which on February
| 10th the Governor affixed his sig
stature, plainly shows just what his
,ientiments are. The resolutions
'ead as follows: Resolved, that tie
Legislature of Pennsylvania express
It's sympathy for the struggling
latriots of Cuba that we in
'truct our Senators and request our
Representatives in the Congress OF
ihe United States to use all honor
itble means to bring about the pas
sage of an act of Congress recogniz-
ing the independence of the Cubans
who are struggling for their lives
and liberty. which God has ordained
shall be the heritage q all men.
And with all the different views
that have been expressed by oul
State officials the probability of con.
vening the Legislature in special
session is freely discussed. What il
could ACCOMPLISH at this time is {
puzzling interr0gative, but yet it i,
iirmly belived by some that unles.
the situation improves considerably
within the next week the Governor
will issue such a call If our Ma.
ional Guard is in as fine condition
rs represented, and all war equip
nents are up to the standard, it il
lard to conjecture why such
course would be pursued. As t,
finances, Governor Hastings has suf
ticient power at present to draw OF
the treasury and it is we'll know
that If the troops are called into ac-
tive service the Federal Governmen
assumes all the expense connecte,
Herewith. So what could tn
. Legislature accomplish if it were t.
: convene in extra session? 1t woul,
do nothing but pass resolutions

DEPARTMENT NOTES

In speaking on "The Comparative
Study of Civil Government at the
Chester teachers institute, State
Superintendent Sch@ffer said 1--WE
ought to teach more about the sys.
tenn of taxation in presenting the
study of civil government. 1t is
human nature not to like to pay tax
es, and yet if we were as patriotic as
we should be we should delight as
much to do this as to shout for our
country on Fourth of July
What he considers to be shaky
building aud loan associations are
being considerably stirred up by
Banking Commissioner Gilkeson.
Very little attention is being paid
on the Hill to the gubernatorial
struggle, the war scare taking its
place on the argument list.

Since the War.

Atlanta, Ga, July 4.-The nations
birthday was celebrated in Atlanta for
the first time since the civil war. The
demonstration was precipitated at mid
night when the announcement of Ad-
miral Simpsons crushing blow to the
Spanish feet wSs conveyed to the s'eep-
ing city in a general alarm by the fire
department, and the screeching of q
score Of locomotives in the railroad
yards. This was followed later by a
fusilade of pistol and cannon shots,
which the enthusiastic citizens con-
tinued for some time. The city was
handsomely decorated, the state CAPT
toll and governors mansion being law
ishly draped in the national colors for
the first time on this day for over

was general. There were flag raisings,

les. at nearly 20 manufactures.

held in the Columbia theatre, at which
the Declaration of independence was
read and orations were delivered by
several speakers of prominence.

Pherson saw the raising Of the Ameri-
can colors, and heard the national sa-
lutte of 45 guns at high noon. The af-
ternoon was given over to athletic
contests. and after the sunset gun was
fired the regimental band gave a con-
cert, the days celebration winding up
with a display of fireworks.

be beneficial. both in the West Indies and
in the Philippines.
After Madame Zipporah Monteith had
sung The Star Spangled Banner from
the pulpit, Colonel James l.. Taylor, pres
ident of the american society, delivered a
short and judicious address on the rela-
tons of the United States and England at
the time of the revolution and on signs
of increasing good feeling now existing
between them. He referred during the
address to Special Ambassador Reid,
whose name was received by the audience
with enthusiastic applause. He quoted
with excellent effect the closing sentences

livered in London a year ago, and the
Stepney audience again applauded with
great heartiness.
Colonel Taylor was followed by DR.. John
Kennedy, almost the oldest ex-chairman
of the Congregational Union, who was in

ton was double one. The great victory
achieved by Admiral Sampson on the sea
and General Shafter- on the land. added
to the lustre of the celebration planned by

Patriotism and enthusiasm were more

The news OF the browning triumph OF
American successes was on the lips of
everybody. and the celebration. which re-
ally commenced with the receipt of the
news last night, gathered force as the
hours progressed. until this morning. the

zens were almost hystericai with delight,

around the newspaper bulletin boards
couid hardly wait for additional news
from the seat Of war.

the greatest in the history of California,

London, July The fraternal senti-
ment evidenced here during the last
few months finds vent today through
out the United Kingdom in an unpre-
cedented display Of the stars and
stripes in honor of the Forth of July
and in hearty expressions of good will
everywhere. The afternoon news
papers are unanimous in applauding
the splendid courage nf the Americans
before Santiago de Cuba and in con-
graduating the United States upon the
signal successes of its arms, both in
the east and in the west.

who have been drawing depressing
conclusions from the earlier kilograms

has made such thorough business OF

The strong presumption is that the
Americans hold Santiago at their
mercy. 1t is a great Fourth of July"
The Westminster Gazette says:
Under the depressing circumstances
suggested by the earlier dispatches
from Santiago our demonstration OF
friendlinesS would naturally have
augmented rather than diminished. But
today's message, indicating the
splendid triumph of Admiral Sampson,
mas given a warmer LIiSG TO the OK
preston of our friendship towards the
people of the United States"
Many diplomats attended the recep-
ton of the United States ambassador.

dence this afternoon. Nearly a thou
sand Americans, an unprecedented
number, were present, although there

OGDEN WINS.
Defeats the Short Line Player:
Again.

Again.
1t was the same old story over again
yesterday at the baseball game. Ogden
defeated the Capital City boys and
this time the beat was a bad one. The
| score stood 9 to p at the end of the
eighth innings when the visitors quit.
The Ogden boys as usual took the
lead at the very start, making two
runs in the first and second innings,
three in the third and in the fourth. Up
to the fourth the Ogdens shut out the
visitors, but in this inning they weaken
ed somewhat and some costly errors
came in the field where they were least
to be expected. The visitors got four
runs in this inning and thereupon
braced up wonderfully. In the sixth.
wi he SEQ e sand ng even to eight in
favor OF ogden and three I44en %
bases, Taylor made a beautiful two
base hit and let in two runs. The Salt
Lake crowd rose to the occasion beauti-
fully and ascribed to Taylor all the
prowess poss by Dewey and most
of that possessed by Sampson. In the
next, however, the ogden boys got
the railroaders going and piled up
three runs. They promptly shut out
the visitors in the next and then pro-
ceeded TO score some more.
A three base hit by Kuhn
when two men were on bases
set the crowd wild. Things went
against the Salt Lakers from that on.
Nine runs were piled up by the home
team and the. visitors were shut out
and the railroad crowd thereupon
threw up the sponge.
Smith for the Ogdens pitched fine
game, putting in his best work on the
heavy hitters. The players and posi-
lions were:
