NATION'S HEROES HONORED Soldier and Sailor Dead Are Subject of Addresses at Lake and Cemeteries. Representing In the Institution, the endowment and the collection ofrare birds and other animals a fortune of a quarter of a million dollars, the Everhart Museum of Natural History was turned over to the city of Scranton Saturday afternoon by Col.

E. H. Ripple, representing Dr. Everhart. Not alone the building, which Is one of the most substantial ever dedicated to the city, but an endowment of $101,000 to maintain the building and to serve as a nucleus for the building of instutions of art and science, was also turned over to the trustees, the judges of the court of Common Pleas of Lackawanna county.

The presentation of the endowment fund was made by Col. L. A. Watres. Mayor Dimmick accepted the building in behalf of the city and President Judge H.

M. Edwards accepted the endowment fund in trust for the purpose of maintaining the building. Dr. Everhart, the donor of the princely gift, was an attentive listener during the entire ceremony, but neverspoke a word until Mayor Dimmick sprung the surprise of the day in presenting him with engrossed resolutions passed by the seJect and common councils and approved by the mayor Dr. Everhart, when compelled by the cheers to make some reply, spoke as follows, the words ringing out over the vast audience: "Words fail to express my feeling for this unexpected demonstration of regard.

All I can say is God bless you one and all, young and old, and may this building, this Institution add to your pleasure and instruction. I thank you." The resolutions, which had been engrossed by P. W. Costello, the surrounding work including a pen picture of Dr. Everhart and of the building, were enclosed In a golden frame.

The resolutions follow: "Whereas, Dr. Isaiah F. Everhart will, upon May 30th, 1908, formally and publicly present to the city of Scranton a museum, of natural history, science and art, to be known as the Dr. Isaiah Everhart Institute of Natural Historyi Science and Art, erected at a cost of $100,000, and dedicated to the city of Scranton, and "Whereas, The said Dr. Isaiah F.

Everhart will herewith convey rare and magnificent collections of animals, birds, fishes, minerals and specimens of wood native to the state, to be preserved in said museum 'or institute. "And whereas, The said Dr. Isaiah F. Everhart will also upon this occasion formally transfer to the said museum or institute an endowment fund of one hundred and one thousand dollars for the maintenance and enlargement of the same. "Resolved, By the select council of the city of Scranton, the common council concurring, that these munificent gifts and endowments be hereby gratefully acknowledged, that expression be given by the city of Scranton to its appreciation of the generosity, public zeal and civic beneficence of Dr.

Isaiah F. Everhart, its patron and benefactor, and that a copy of these resolutions be duly engrossed and tendered to the donor upon the occasion of the presentation of the gift. Benjamin Dinynlck, Mayor. "Thomas W. Davis, Chairman of Select Council.

"Albert Davis, Chairman of Common Council." When the meeting was called to order by H. E. Paine, the post commander of Ezra Griffin post. No. 139, Grand Army of the Republic, there were in the surrounding grounds several thousand people.

Practically every available spot was used for the placing of a pair of feet, while the benches and seats throughout the park were filled with interested auditors and spectators. From the stone platform at the head of the steps leading into the building and facing Mulberry street the speakers stood. In the front rank of the audience stood 200 members of Ezra Griffin post In uniform, proud of their comrade. Dr. Everhart, who was the donor of the building and whose mind had conceived the plan.

Despite the rain and the wind and the crowd those Grand Army men stood to the last, to show their comrade that they appre ciated what had been done and what he had Intended to do. With the exception of the veterans the audience was a changing one, and when the people became tired of standing in one place they moved on to the next, and thus the faces were new ones In the vast audience practically all the time. Up in the front rank the veterans stood, for while others moved about they stood still, forming the solid center round which the others moved. Practically all of the addresses were short and for this the veterans were thankful, for while the addresses were short there were good thoughts In each. When the endowment fund of $101,000 was presented to President Judge Edwards to keep In trust there was no hollow mockery about It as the bonds, five per cent, bonds, were there, and for a brief ten minutes during his address Judge Edwards held the bonds In his arms, stating that he was richer than at any time in his life.

And so it was throughout the service. There were features to every address and every speaker made friends as he addressed the meeting, but Dr. iUverhart, generous, and being generous, modest, was the one man who came in for much admiration. For many years Dr. Everhart has planned for the founding and endowing of a museum of natural history and has devoted liis life's best thoughts and energy toward the collection of the specimens which he has ready for the placing.

In the museum, beginning next i Monday, ana yet In the museum after the dedication Dr. Everhart stated that the one afternoon was worth 'it all. i And so it was. Rev, J. W.

Malone, D. rector of. the Cathedral, delivered the invocation. THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN. MONDAY JUNE 1, 1908.

H. E. Paine, chairman of the meet lng, then opened the formal exercise of the day by introducing Col. E. H.

Ripple, who was the representative of Dr. Everhart In presenting the build ing to the city of Scranton. SERVICES AT CEMETERIES. In all the cemeteries where the sol dier dead lie sleeping, impressive ser Vices were conducted and floral wreaths, mute tributes of respect and love were placed upon the mounds Then fell the eloquent tributes to the departed heroes, and the final salute fired by the gun squad of gray haired veterans, now fast approaching the zenith of life, yet filled with military ardor and love of country. It was a most pathetic and Impressive scene.

one long to be remembered by the younger generation to whom the stories of the great struggle for the preserva tion of the union are as legends of the long ago. As the years go by the ranks of the brave boys in blue grow thinner and they who are left white they lose the vigor of their younger days, lose not that patriotic fire which burned in their breasts when they received the news of the fall of Fort Sumpter and the efforts to divide the United States into two rival governments. The soldiers do not forget' but they long ago forgave, and extended the liand of fellowship to the boys in gray who like themselves fought for that which they thought was right, and yesterday if there were any of the boys in gray sleeping in the lo cal cemeteries they received the samfi tribute to their valor and chivalry as did the boys in blue, and so they went from grave to grave and from ceme tery to cemetery on their mission of love. Those in charge of the services at the cemeteries were: Dunmore Protestant cemetery Colonel E. H.

Keiper, John Ba ker, William H. Hall, A. E. Voorhis, Thomas H. McLoughlin and George Phillips.

Big crowds were present at all the cemeteries. The parade in Dunmore was the only one held by the Grand; Army Vet erans. Marching with them were Sons of Veterans, United Spanish War Veterans, Junior Order United American Mechanics, Patriotic Order Sons of America and cadets from the Presbyterian, St. Mark's and the Dunmore fire department. The grand' marshal was John Hobday.

The line of march was Potter street to Chestnut to Shoemaker to Blakely to Bloom to Church street and to the cemetery. After the services at the cemetery the line reformed and marched back to Blakely street and was dismissed SERVICES AT POST, Most impressive memorial services were held at Grand Army hall Saturday evening by the surviving members of Lieut. Ezra Griffin post for their deceased comrades. The services were in charge of Commander H. E.

Paine, assisted by the officers of the post. Rev. G. C. Lyman, assistant pastor of the Elm Park church, a member of the post, delivered the eulogy most impressively.

Pathetically impressive were the 30 vacant chairs, symbolic of tho members who had died during the year, arranged in a semicircle in the front part of the room. Each chair vaa draped and festooned with a floral wreath on which was placed the names of the departed. Adjutant Marshall Preston read the war records of the men who had died during the year, and as each name was called the drummer gave the "long roll." TRIBUTE) TO NAVAL DEAD. Tribute to the naval dead was paid Saturday afternoon at Lake Everhart in Nay Aug Park immediately following the dedicatory exercises upon the steps of the Everhart museum. When a floral boat was turned adnTt In the waters of Lake Everhart by the members of General J.

Mott, of Griffin post, was called upon to givs Lincoln's Gettysburg address and In a clear, strong voice did Mr. Mott respond. While Bauer's military band played a dirge Mr. Roden lowered the flag to half mast in honor of the naval dead, the spectators standing with heads uncovered during the ceremony. One of the most touching parts of the naval ceremonies was the presentation of a wreath to the naval dead of Ezra Griffin post and to the unknown dead by the ladies of the Woman's Relief corps.

The committee which made the presentation in behalf of the corps was composed of the following ladies: Mrs. D. S. Beemer, chairman; Miss Carrie Blume, Mrs. A.

M. Detweiler, Mrs. Emma Moses, Miss Marilla Mott, Mrs. H. Fields and Mrs.

Margaret Gibbon. Col. F. L. Hitchcock accepted the wreath in behalf of the members of Ezra Griffln post, paying a tribute to the men who had fought by land and by sea.

The address of acceptance fairly seethed with patriotic sentiment well expressed. Two hundred boys and girls, under the leadership of Miss Mackey, principal, and Miss Mary DeGraw, a teacher In public school Xo. 35, played an important part in the concluding number of the programme. The children marched around the lake until they formed a semicircle, the girls on one side and the boys upon Iht other. At a signal from the teachers the children broke out In singing "America," and at the end of the first verse 'the boys stepped forward throwing i mall flags upon the lake while the girls strewed the cut flowers.

TO BE COMFORTABLE during the intensely hot evenings and nights of the summer the greatest care should be taken to avoid anything which will give off heat. This is particularly true of light, for if the lighting system be of the open flame variety there will ensue so much heat as to make the rooms unbearable.

ELECTRIC LIGHT burns in a vacuum, or an "absence of air" space, consequently gives off little or no heat from its bulb. If the globes are frosted they give the soft diffused light so essential to a cool appearance and in this way actually reduce the heat to almost nothing while making the home appear cooler.
