Chicago's Hold Anarchists.

CHICAGO, July 6.-The American
flag was fired on yesterday by An
archists as il was flying over pro-
cession in the northwestern part Of
the city. The dag was carried by a
procession Of Norwegians from the
North side. They were on their way
to picnic given by the Norwegian
Sangerfest. At one point, where
the sidewalks were crowded with peo-
pie, men in the crowd suddenly drew
their revolvers and fired directly at
the flag. Six bullets went through
it. Emil Nelson was hit in the neck
by spent ball, which inflicted
slight tiesh wound. The marching
Norwegians started on a double
quick, holding the Stars and Stripes
proudly aloft. Several bullets whiz-
zed past them, and they were much
alarmed, fearing another riot like the
Haymarizet. There were no police
in sight. The procession made
rapid march to the park in Jefferson.
There the affair was reported to the
authorities.

WAsHIN dToN, July 4.-The quiet
ness Of the White House this after
noon was broken by the appearance
of q crazy man named John Il. APP
flld, dyer, Of 1909 New York Aven-
lie. His entrance was unobserved
by the door-keeper. AS soon as APP
fild entered the vestibule, he fell on
his knees and prayed God to give
him strength to kill the President,
as he had put it into his heart to do
the deed to-day. The police in the
building seized him, and on locking
him up In station-house cell he be-
came n raving maniac, and tore all
his clothes of. Apfild's sudden at
tack Of insanity is a surprise to his
friends, who looked upon him as a
quiet, Woodworking man Apfld is
well know here.

Neither President Cleveland's
wife nor any of the heirs of Col. j.
B. Folsom appeared at Warsaw, N.
T., Monday, at the probating of the
latter's will. The property amounts
to $l50,000, Of which $4,000 is per-
sonal The real estate lies in Ne
braska and in Attica and Folsom
dale, New York. The homestead of
two hundred acres is to be reserved
intact, with its appurtenances, un~
til the grandchildren who arc minors
reach their majority. The Westesn
property is to remain intact, as re-
quested by Colonel Folsom's late
brother, until ten years shall have
elapsed, four having already expir-
ed. The will divides the property
among his eight grandchildren,
share and share alike, Thus il will
be seen that unless the Western pro-
perty increases, as it is expected 10
do, the Presidents wife via only re-
ceive $4,000, instead Of $4,000, as
was generally believed.

lighting purposes, the fire upon the
hearth or lighted tapers of tow or
linen burnt, in q saucer, no, it was
not saucer, for we did not have
them, it was q piece of iron bent up
to retain the grease, which gave fuel
to the light. Some might have can
dies, but very few. Our cooking
utensils, plates and dishes were
made frequently of pewter than of
earthern ware. Our kitchens were

The young of the present day can
not realize the advantages of educa-
ton as well as home comforts which
they enjoy in comparison with the
school days OF their worthy fathers.
1t was for the object of giving pros
perity and good government, as
well as comforts of society life that
our honored ancestry labored and
looked forward to with anticipated
joy. May we in this day and gener-
alton do right and have our success
sors approve of and pay unto us the
tribute of praise for that which We
effect by our lives toward making
the world better by having liy-
ed and acted in it. b. n.
