A Milwaukee Fire.

On Thursday morning last, a fire ae-
companied by All explosion, took place
in the Daisy roller mill at Milwaukee,
Wis, and spread to the Empire mill,
completely destroying both structures,
entailing loss of about $4,000 1t is
said none Of the workmen were in
ju1ed, but four fremen were seriously
injured by the falling of one OF the
walls. The origin Of the fire, which
was discovered in the fifth story, is d

Mr.. Parnell--I expect the settlement
will come from the Liberals, for, assum-
ing that they would be about equal to
the Tories and Nationalists combined,
we could give them a majority OF l7o,
which would be quite sufficient to en-
able them to deal with the Irish and
every other question, even making al

bare majority, and would be hampered
in the whole business by their eighteen

The Marquis of Lorne contested the
borough OF Hampstead in the Liberal
interests. Whether it was because the
electors did not wish TO be represented
by an accidental adjunct of royalty, or
whether they were unwilling to trust a
man who made such a conspicuous
failure in Canada, does not appear, but
they rejected him by 975 votes out OF q

has the following to say in reference to
the Irish Parliament abolished in 1900:
1T was the Parliament Of tire Fngllsh
colony in Ireland. 1t was never II any
sense representative of the Nation. 1t
was the corrupt embodiment of a dom

the Nation for It's own selfish ends.
There had not even been a dissolution

The Abuse of Lace.


New York Evening Post.
1t is lamentable pity that the abuse of lace
has begun. AS a garniture, there is nothing at
once so delicate, becoming, and rich to one and
ALL both old and young. But the miraculousy
low price at which most charming and beautiful
patterns now be purchased is fast working
its ruin, as it does all beautiful things which come
within the reach of the purses of the million. If
women would only keep lace trimmings in their
proper place! But hundreds of them put it on AS
they do their diamonds-for general wear
There are few kinds of lace-yak linen,
Medici and several kinds of colored cotton laces
which do very we'll for the promenade, but
when IN a short walk down Fourteenth street or
Broadway one encounters scores of women, with
costumes of sateen, percale foulard and the
like, showing leagues of lace, pleated, gathered
and scalloped upon every available por-
tons of the dress, it almost kills the
charm and fascination, and association
of this lovely, womanly garnture, once
within the means and reach of queens and prin-
cesSes only. 1t is we'll that that exclusive day of
its wear has passed. but it is equally deplorable
that good sense and judgement cannot keep lace
confined to its proper place and SO have it remain
gruous and inappropriate upon the street as a
wheelbarrow would b, in a drawing room If
nothing else can avail, let greater value be set
upon ever the fancy" sorts, and so let these
woven dreams be taken out Of the hands Of
those who so little value their possession as to
trail them through the dust. and let the dignity
of lace be re-estabished, and this nerve-t ortur-
ing caricature of its wear come to an end.

Confessing Christ before Men.

Canon IT. ?. LIddep, D. D.
Something more thar fifty years ago there
was a small dinner party at the other end of
London. The ladies had withdrawn, and under
the guidance of one member of the company, the
conversation took turn, of which it will be
enough here and now to say that it was utterly
dishonorable to Jesus Christ our Lord One of
the guests said nothing, but presently asked the
host permission TO ring the bell, and when the
servant appeared. he ordered his carriage: He
then. with tho courtesy of perfect self com
mand, expressed his regret at being obliged to
retire, but explained that he was still Chris
tian. Mark the phrase, for it made a deep i'm
preston at the time-''stll Christian" Per
haps it occurs to you that the guest who was
capable of this act Of simple courage must have
been bishop or at least, clergyman. The
party was made up entirely of laymen, and the
guest in question became the great Prime Minis
Ter of the early days of the reign of Queen Vic
toria--he was the late Sir Robert Peel.

Grafton Dy Daniel webster, July \, 1902.
Fellow Citizens-It is at the season when ma
ture hath assumed her lOvelieSt apparel that the
American people assemble in their several tenn
plies TO celebrate the birthday of their Nation.
Arrayed in all the beauties of the year, the
Fourth of July once more visits US. Green
fields and a ripening harvest proclaim it, a
bright sun cheers it, and the hearts of freedom
bid it welcome. Ulustrious spectacle! Six mil
lions of people this day surround their affairs,
and unite in address to heaven for the preser-
walton of their rights Every rank and every
age imbibes the general spirit From the lisp
ing inhabitant of the cradle to the aged warrior
whose gray hairs are fast sinking in the western
horizon Of life, every voice is this day tuned to
the accents of Liberty! Washington My coun-
try
Festivals established by the world have been
numerous. The coronation of king the birth
of prince the marriage of princess have
often called wonderful crowds together Cities
and nations agree to celebrate the event which
raises one mortal man above their heads and
beings called men stand aStonished and aghast
while the paeeantry of monarch or the ieweled
grandeur of queen poses before them. Such a
festival however, as the Fourth of July is to
America, is not found in hiStory-a festival de-
signed for solemn reflection on the great events
that have happened to us; festival in Which
freedom receives nations homage. and Heaven
is greeted with incense from ten thousand
hearts
In the present situation Of our country it is,
my respected fellow citizens, matter of high Joy
and congratulation that there is one day in the
year on which men of different principles and
different opinions can associate together The
Fourth of July is not an occasion to compass
sea and land to make proselytes. The good
sense and the good nature which vet remain
among US will, we trust, prevail on this day, and
be sufficient TO chain, at least for season, that
untamed monster, party spirit-and would to
God that it might be chained forever, that as
we have but one interest, we might have but one
heart and one mind!
You have hitherto, fellow-citizens, on occa-
sions of this kind, been entertained with the dis,
cusson of national questions; with inquiries
into the true principles of government; with re-
capitulatons of the war; with speculation on
the causes of our revolution and on its conse-
Quences to ourselves and to the world Leaving
these subjects, it shall be the ambition Of the
speaker of this day to present such a view of
your Constitution and your Union as shall con.
vince you that you have nothing to hope from a
change
This age has been correctly denominated an
age of experiments. Innovation is the idol Of the
times. The human mind seems to have burst its
ancient limits and to be travelling over the face
of the material and intellectual creation III search

And ring and rock the spires,
And the fairy lights at evening time.

Like folk who get in fuster,
But whom you need not mind at all
They spend their strength in buster.
The lovely rockets please me best,
They shoot so grand and high,
Then drop again their golden stars
In showers from the sky.

And trumpcts blow, and bugles pea,
