Against these ''embattled farmers"

me to explain how the republics were

and when they got their modern ar

not expect war with England after the

of Cape Colony was so fiercely cross

that Chamberlain was bent on finding

words, Time to prepare. From that
day the republics have been incessant-

Independence and honor. 1t may come

After War the Song of Peace

Dark drifts of clouds shut out the sky,
The air is rent with sounds of strife;
Ny brother marches forth to die
Or take some fellow mortal's life;
The peace the world has waited for
Shrinks pale behind the skirts Of warl
Across the plains the ruts are deep
Where engines OF destruction passed;
The blinds are drawn where orphans weep,
And blood is flowing free and fast;
The hills give back the cannon's roar;
The song Of peace is heard no morel
Ny brother mocks me in his heart,
! hlam" him for the stand he takes;
The world Christ saved is rent apart,
And every tie that bound us brcUks
The war god shrieks, the saber CLEANS,
And crimson streaks are in the streamsl
But God vas reigning in the sky
When David went to smite his foe,
And God is reigning still on high
And still inspiring men below!
And when the sounds Of battle cease,
And when the work Of war is DER,
Then shall the hopeful song of peace
Swell higher, clearer, than betorel

BIG BREAKER BURNED.
The Abandoned Boston Building Is
Destroyed by Flames.

destroyed Dy tlameS.
Special TO the Scranton Tribune
Pittston. July 19.-The old abandoned
Boston breaker, situated back of Yates
vile, was totally destroyed by fire
about noon today. The fire originated,
it is thought. from a spark from q
locomotive on the Wilkes-Barre and
Eastern road. and the flames blazei
furiously for two or three hours, no
effort being made toward their ex-
tinction. The breaker was owned by
the Butler Coal company and had been
abandoned few years ago, upon the
erection of the Fernwood breaker.
about quarter of a mile away. The
employees at the FernwOod have been
on strike for some time past, and it
was there the riot recently occurred.
The rumor quickly spread through the
town today that it was the Fernwood
that was ablazc, and naturally II was
thought to be the work of the strikers,
but the rumor proved groundless, as
the FernwOOd was not the least en-
dangered by the blaze. The Fernwood
pumping station is located near the
burned structure, but was safed by a
bucket brigade.
The burned breaker was one of the
Oldest in this vicinity but as the ma
chinery was all taken out and the
breaker abandoned the loss is not a
great one.
