Under the fostering genius of our in
stitutions we have lived to see the light

that old ocean feels a thrill throughout
her timc-sealed bosom, and Yields to
man the crown long placed on Ncp-
tunes brow; that down in the depths
of the sea there lives breathing thing
of life, and though the angered waves
in tempestuous wrath forever beat, yet
quick as thought from continent to con-

iron.clad giants annihilating distance
hurling humani Y through space, and
bearing from ocean to ocean the COM

We have notified the world that such

fevercd brow of ookout Mountain from
the purple fountain of war; those from
workshops, stores and farms of the
north, whose heads and limbs were
washed away by the streams of Kissing
shot and shell on Shiloh; that those
from the land of cotton and a sunny
cline, who melted like wax under the
leaden hail beating into their ranks at
Gettysburg, were brilliant headlights on

While to-day in my native land the
sweet patriotic notes of the ''Star

Island Kingdom on these beautiful
shores, and honor us with your pre-

READING THE DECLARATION.
This all-important part of Fourth
of July celebration-the reading of
the Declaration of Independence
was executed in good style by Mr..
w. A. Kinney.
SPEECH BY YOUNG AMERICA.
A speech by "Young America"
in the person of Miss May Dlling-

charming clearness and naivete.
The speaker was tastefully arrayed
in white, with red, white and blue
decorations at the waist. She began
with Burns immortal maxim, "a
mans man for a that" This was
first realized for America, and

the world. 1t was the corner stone
of the national fabric, that began to
be built through tears and blood.
The builders failed to finish the
structure because they read the
specification, "a white mans man
