FRIDAY, JULY 4. 1890 THE O. OF A. DEMONSTRATION. A Viae TarHOBt Kd latcrMttBg 1 ctMM ft Klfthand Peai Steta.

The demonstration of the Patriotic Order Sons of America was creditable to that pop a Ur nnrH.niza.tioo. as a laxee camber of mem bers of the different camps participated. The line of march was formed on street between Fourth and Fifth streets, the camps in line having been IN oa. hi, 212, 329, 330 and 509. Headed by the ttioffgold band the Hae moved up Penn street to Eleventh, and counter marched to Filth, where the exercises arranged for the occasion took place, the programme printed in Thursday morning's Times having been carried out.

The orator of the occasion was Morton Montgomery, Esg.v who said: mb. Montgomery's address. After the reading ot the Declaration of Independence, Morton X. Montgomery, was introduced and he addressed the meeting on the objects, influent and success of the "Patriotic Ore Sons of America." He first gave a brie' history of the Order, Btating that it had been organized as a eociety at Philadelphia in 1847, the same year that Reading was incorpo rated as a city, and whilst the Mexican war was being carried on. In those ox citing times a prevailing sentiment throughout the United States was "Oar country, our whole country, our country right or wrong," which doubtless led to the formation of this patriotic society.

It maintained a growing existence until the breaking out of the Civil War in 1861 and then its membership was so much reduced by the members going to scue of their government, which th i ad obligated themselves to uphold, tu. it came near losing its identity entirely. The power of instituting camps was transferred to Camp tit, the oldest tamp or reoumg, and it remained here until the close of the war, when the State Camp was reorganized. OBJECTS OF PATRIOTIC ORDER. The general objects of the Order, he stated, were the inculcation of Arrerican principles, such as equality, unity and in denendence.

and a reverence our Re publican form of governmen be State and National, and all institutive thereby recognized and encouraged; the cultivation of fraternal affection among all native brrn Americans; opposition to all foreign interference, whether with State or National and the advancement of our syS' tpm of free public education. And the nnAniftl fthiects were of a local character, such as the relief of its sick and distressed members, the burial of those that died, and general encouragemeut of fraternal assist ance in tne various BBsuutiiiuua ui mc. thin connection he also made some eloquent and feeling lemarka on the grand motto of the Ordei "tiod, Uur tjcuniry, uar Order." thereby recognizing that the first duty of the members was to God and the next to their Country which, if properly observed, would lead to their general wel fare. INFLUENCE OF THE ORDER. The influence of the Order upon "its members Mr.

Montgomery complimented very highly. He regarded the camp room as a great educator in gradually ntting me members for governing and being governed according to law, rules and ceremonies; for diacussing all questions whether of a secret, social, financial or general nature; and for generally developing themselves for the personal, social, political ana spiritual affairs of life. He also compared a camp to the general government, for the members IOUK DOlU Ui ih Jy urm uignuiiug jmw complete body and then regulated its sev eralaffaiis successfully according to a con' atitution and by laws, in doing which they prepare themselves admirably for the ciyil affairs ot lite under tne general govern ment. The merubtrB exhibited a high or der of charitv in waiting npon and relieving their sick brethren, and in the hour of death they went nobly to the house of sor row ana cave me iamuy mubi maitsnui comfort and assistance. And in the gen eral associations of lite they were compan ions to one another, and their behavior was exemplary.

He referred to Camp 89, of Reading, as a superior example to verify his remarks. SUCCESS OF THE ORDER. In dwelling upon the third branch of his addrcBP, Mr. Montffomery proved most con clusively that tne Urdor was most success fully mansred by the State and local cm cers, which reflected the highest credit npon their personal integrity and devotion. He prepared for the occasion a table of statistics, showinsr the condition of the Or der in the city of Beading, in the county of lierks, and in the state ot Jfennsyivama, for the last five years.

Xhese figures re veal the wonderful growth of the Order both local and general. In Heading 1886 there were four Gamps with a membership of 74G, property valued at $12,000, and relief expenses $1700; and in 1890 there were seven Camps, with nearly 2000 members, property valued at $25,000 and relief expenses $5000. In the county of Berks in 1886 there were eighteen camps with loOOmembers, property $31,000 and relief expenses 2800; and in 18 'JO there were thirty three camps, with over SoOO property over IfbU.UUU, ana relief expenses $000. lo the state in 18b there were 201 camps with 14,200 mem bera, property $239,000, and relief expenses over and in 1890 there were 640 camps with 40,000 members, and property $550,000 and relief expenses rj $40, 000. Mr.

Montgomery concluded uis ad dres with appropriate remarks on the Na tional holiday, and the devolion of the American people in the cause of popular government. JUSTICE BALKED. Tbroiih m. Lrghlftt Ive BlnmUr TP ro Colo rado nnrilcrari tuicape in. Ualiovra.

Denver, July 4 James Medley and James Savage, tne latter colored, and both of them cold blooded murderers, have been set free. After they were con victed, sentenced and the scaffold erected for their execution, it was discovsved that, th rough a blunder of the last 1 sgirilatare. there was at the time the crimes were com mitted no law in Colorado against murder. The State Attorney argued that, inasmuch an this was true, the prisoners had never been in jeopardy of their lives, and could be tried again. udge itistng refused to take this view, and tne prisoners were released.

Upon the advice of their lawyers Doin started ior tne state line. BASE BALL. Morning Game. At Cbicaeo (P. New York 1, ChlcAffo 3.

A PltKarilnv Keaflvsl tm Parts af BaMcrn Feaaa. ucata at ine uianc inie. The Allentown Democrat, one of the best weekly newspapers in this country, in its issue of last week says "Among the customs descendant to as frem the dark atres.is that of feasting at the funerals of our deceased friends. Though stripped of its gravest and most disgusting features ot the olden times, those ot drunkenness and debauchery, for it is within our own recol lection that the whisky bottle was passed around the house and yard among all present at funerals for giving I hem a drink before starting with the corpse for the place of burial, the custom of feasting on funeral occasions is none the leas revolting to the refined mind. The habit is very prevalent throughout the rural parts ot this connty of cooking a great dinner at which is served in the most extravagant manner all that can tempt the appetites of the mourners.

On the occasion of the funeral of Mrs, Reuben Deshler, near Etnaus, the other day, no less than 148 people took dinner. So great was the rush that tables bad to be set under the trees in the yard. This was no exceptional case, for we know of funer als where no less than ltM people sat down to dinner, many doubtless attending especi ally to get a good fill. No matter what the condition of the be reaved family whether rich or poor if they lay claim at all to respectability they are expected to provide the feast, regard less ot the cost, and this, too, oftentimes, when the means thus expended are greatly needed for the maintenance of the surviv ing members of the household. But aside from the needless extrava gance which thus attends a funeral occa sion, tbe feelings of the bereaved are often shocked with the eating performances by reason ot tbe tender and hallowed emotions of tbe mourners being rudely disturbed by the clash of dishes and the loud tones of cooks.

Human gripfs are sacred, and the bereaved heart, in the great calamity of death, needs the quiet and solemn mtlu ence which should pervade the house of mourning. How revolting must be the "eating, drinking and making merry' which makes a festival ot the most solemn and mysteri ous phase of our mysterious existence, and which lags in gaunt and grinning death to preside at the head of the festive board. Those who have attended a country funeral nave witnessed these scenes, and have noticed in attendance those whom no tie of kindred or friendship brought to the honse of mourning, but who are to be fonnd at every funeral occurring in the comma nity, whether invited or not, find who in variably stay to dinner the real object of their coming. We have the story of one old lady who for forty years of her married life attended every funeral within ten miles of her home, and who on every occasion had her dinner. When her husband was prevented by business from accompany ing her a capacious basset, borne by the faithful wife, was always filled with a "bite for John," to remind him of the "poor dear decased." We smile at tbe story of the hired mourners at the Hindoo funeral, but there is less of disgust and deceit in this custom of the Pagan than in ours.

The spectators at the former know that tears are shed for rupees, nor does the weeper himself con' ceal the fact. In Lehigh county and this section of Pennsylvania, however, the mourner with dry eyes and seemingly sad countenance attends a funeral only that he may obtain a rich dinner.

Palsgrove, formerly of this city, and who eight or nine years ago was encaged in the notion business on Penn street near Ninth, is the fortunate posses sor of a track of land half way up Ptbe feat in Uolorado, whica is destined in a few years to become a famous resort and make its owner a millionaire.
