Mrs. George w. Fritz, 500 Madison

Charles L. Robinson, of the Second
Presbyterian church. Richard Ernest
Comegys and Rozilla Grove Fritz We're
married. Miss Fritz is the only
daughter of the late George w. Fritz
and LoVenia, his wife. The brides

managing the business left by her
father.
Mr.. Com eggs. Il real estate dealer,
came to Scranton from Philadelphia
seven years ago. He Is representa-
tive of the well known family of his
name on the eastern shore of Mary
land and Delaware, the history of
which in this country dates back 70
1860. when two brothers settled on The
Chester river near Baltimore. Cor
nelius p. COmesys was Il soldier in
the Revolutionary war; and his son.

THOUSANDS in
THE BIG PARADE

The windows in all of the business
places along the route We're at a pre-
MUM, as places to view the parade
from. and muttudes thus watched
the long lines of sturdy marchers from
above.
The majority of the stores office
buildings and residences along the line
of march were gaily decorated with
the national colors, large banners wav-
ing in the breeze and tri-co!ored bunt-
ing being everywhere displayed in pro-
fusion.
The great crowd was Well taken care
of by the police, who prevented the
spectators from hindering or obstruct-
Ing the course of the parade. Ropes
We're Stretced along the streets, and
no one allowed beyond the curb, as a
result of which the marchers had a
clear road, and not Il single hitch oc-
cured
Chief Roblins had practically every
patroman on the force doing para de
duty yesterday, and the wisdom in
using this large number of bluecoats
was frequently demonstrated during
the day.
The marching men from the mines
aroused great enthusiasm all along the
route. The great number of small boys
in line was frequently remarked upon.
Nearly every delegation of breaker
boys and slate pickers carried on high
transparencies bearing devices like
this: I'VE are making all of 25c. and
40c. a day" Give our Dads Justice
and we can Go to School," and other
legends of the same nature.
Much Enthusiasm.
President John Mitchell who occu-
pied carriage in company with May
or James Moir. was everywhere re-
ceived with great enthusiasm, and
when, at 230 o'clock, he was driven
to Wyoming avenue, TO lead the pa
rade, very lively little demonstra-
ton occurred. A large number of
breaker boys, who We're forming near
by, caught sight of the carriage, and
Immediately recognizing the leader Of
the United Milne Workers, broke ranks
and made simultaneous rush for the
vehicle. They surrounded it, piping
shrlly, Whats de matter wild Mitch

moment the young president was lean
ing over the side of the carriage shak-
ing hands With the grimy- faced little
fellows and chatting to them.

and operators, we have decided to do
some ARBITRATION on our own
account. We prepared for and ex-
pected an early and large Fall trade,
which is somewhat delayed ON ao-
count of the strike, but with our
past record for meeting every emer-
gsncy we have decided to STRIKE

and as consequence we started .

MITCHELL SAYS HE
IS DISSATISFIED

In an interview recently President
Mitchell stated that the ten per cent.
offer was not satisfactory, but he
joined with this declaration the fur
ther statement but it is a great vic
tory" Yesterday he declared his dis
satisfaction in emphatic tones, and the
cheers which followed his declaration
could not be interpreted to mean any
thing but that the miners who heard
him shared the same opinion, and in
ferred from Mr.. Mitchell's uttera nces
that he was not favorable to it's ac-
ceptance. Whether or not that is what
he means is not known.
But whatever he meant should be
understood. II is certain that the vast
majority of the men who heard him
took his words to mean that he was
opposed to the ten per cent. offer be-
ing accepted unless 1t is modified in
the way he points out in the sentences
following his declaration. The speech
in full is appended:

some designing person has said that We in

OF who is president OF the United States you

and I. probably, will go ON preaching the cause
OF labor; while every man has right TO his owi,
political opinions, that Is his own right, hut as
far as ] am concerned our organization Will
never take any rart in politics.
Some OF the newspapers nave charged that We
ordered this strike so that the bitumino,us
miners would profit by yonr idleness. We have
refuted that charge By ordering the bituminous
miners not to load coal ior markets formerly
supplied by anthracite eoal and ii there is any
bituminous coal coming into the anthracite re-
gion is being loaded in West Virginia, where
We have practically no organization.
Paramount Question.
Now, my fellow workingmen, know that the
paramount question in your minds now Is how
will the strike be terminated. some OF you have
declared the convention should not nave been
called; one local union in this vicinity passed
resolutions asking that we refuse TO call con.
venton. While the Officers OF this organization
do not question the honesty OF the motives
which prompted the passage OF this resolution.
We believe that you should meet in convention
through delegates, and yourselves determine
through your own vote whether you return to
work or continue on strike.
As you are the men most vitally inteleseo.
II must rest with you and not with John Mitch
ell or his official colleagues whether there is a
resumption OF work on a continuation OF the
strike. You had a strike here some time ago
which continued for a short time and then the
officers declared the strike of without consulting

In the South it might be the part of
wisdom for the Negro to divide in pol
itics since as it now obtains he has no
suffrage. In the Northern, Eastern
and Middle States where he has the
right of suffrage and his vote is count
ed, he should also vote for his own
best interests.
The Colered American does not ad-
vocate division of the Negro vote of
the North at this time for the reason
that the administration of President
Mckinley has done so much for the
race. As office holders, the Negro
draws more than six million dollars
annually. More recognition in polit
ical way has come to the Negro under
the Mckinley regime than under any
previous administration. The Negro is
the balance Of power in the North. In
the sections just named he controls be-

can elect the Republican ticket, These
