Reports from all the larger cities indicate an
uncommonly quiet celebration of Independ-
ence day. The small boy, with his crackers,
seems To have transferred his activities gener-
ally To the rural districts and left the great CEN
tiers OF population in a condition in which it was
possible TO hear oneself think. Albany made
use Of the day TO set going the exhibition in
honor OF her bicentenary. In Portland Me-,
the people made merry over the city's attain
mept Of One-haf the age of Albany. Chicago
had q small fire with fatal results, and Harlem
ahrge one without loss of life. Tammany Hall
held Its customary big talk, including a speech
on civil service reform by Senator Vance and
an antidote in writing from President Cleve-
land. Secretary Whitney generously threw
open his country place Tor the enjoyment of his
official subordinates, and Secretary Manning
celebrated the day by starting for home with
better color in his cheeks than has been there
for months. Taken as a whole, 1t was as good a
Fourth OF July as could be expected-on Fifth.

Justice Barrett made strong point in his
address 10 the prisoners convicted of boycott
ting In New York city, when he declared that
the fact of their being aliens aggravated their
ofense They have actually no rights in this
country. Every privilege accorded them is
pure matter of courtesy. They sought our
shores as a place of refuge from oppression,
only 70 become oppressors in their turn. In
this respect they have conducted themselves
worse even than the fathers of New England
civilization, who came to America in order TO
be able To worship their God according to the
dictates OF their own conscien noes, and imme-
diately began prosecuting an unhappy sect that
differed with them in religious opinion The
New England Puritans had at least faced the
perils of pioneer life; they had founded a colony
and established laws for their own government,
and the people who settled among them had
the alternative of conforming their lives to
those laws or of finding home elsewhere. The
case of the foreigner who comes TO this land of
freedom in order to escape from the tyranny
exercised in his own, and then attempts to
tyrauniZe over American citizens, Is very dlf-
1erent; and II We reproach the narrow-minded
but brave Puritans OF the seventeenth century
ior their Inconsistency, what are We to say of
the graceieSs crew of refugees that have
swarIned upon in the nineteenth?
The election returns from the British bor-
oughs are discouraging for the friends OF home
rule, but the counties may do better. At all
events, every friend of Mr.. Gladstone Wilt feel
that the end is not yet. Even if the present
election forces change of ministry, there is no
telling how soon the new powers in Downing
street may find themselves compelled TO appeal
to the people, nor what the result OF that appeal
will be. Mr.. Gladstone is blessed with elias
long depressed by his reverses. And, after all,
the combatant who wins the long run is
often not the one who scores aseries OF brilliant
be is whipped.

Illustrated Sermons.

New York Special. The Rev. J. Ben.
son Hamilton, the new pastor of the
Cornell Memorial Methodist Episco-
pal church, has preached his first SER
mon in his pretty church building.
The title of his sermon was Glow to
Fill Empty Churches The church
was full of .parishioners who wanted
to hear what he had to say on the
subject. Pastor Hamilton comes from
Rhode Island. A huge screen, hidden
behind folds Of crimson cloth, stood
behind him as he rose TO preach. His
text was HE brought him to Jesus"
and at two intervals in the discourse
he turned about, drew aside the Grim
son folds and revealed two large pict-
ures in bright colors illustrating the
theme. Beside the screen stood a
placard in large black letters inscribed
with the different topics of the ser
mon. -.2l>s -.-a~~ $3.50 400 : "s~' $50 #
Il Pastor Hamilton started out with
the idea of preaching illustrated SER
mons on the same basis as the Sun
day-school object lesson. The new
experiment certainly took with his
parishioners. Pastor Hamilton said
that the oft repeated sneer and taunt
of the anti-C Christian caviller: 'eThe
theatre is full and the church Is
empty" could be answered only BY,
the minister and the congregat ion
making a personal effort to fill the
church. IT, :.s5 3, <ta=

That they ain t, said good hearted
Mr.. Bradley, who then kissed the boy
and shook hands with us all. In FIVE
minutes he and his men were on their
way to the big clipper, and our skip
per, with her arm around her boy,
was leaning against the tafrail wav-
ing her hand to them.
CHOW, I understood the captains
liking for Mr.. Wood, our mate. She
was in love with him, and. of course
she was little jealous of me. The
whole mystery about Capt. Harris, as
she called herself, was accounted for.
Gone evening some weeks afterward
when we were in the Indian Ocean
glanced through the after cabin door,
and what do you think saw! There
sat our mate, Mr.. Wood, by the side
of our skipper. She had her beard off,
and ! noticed then that she had let
her hair grow. In Mr.. Woods lap sat
the little boy. She was looking ten
denly at Mr.. Wood, and he was
talking to the boy as if he had made
up his mind to be very good to him
for his mothers sake. Then knew
that it was all settled"

Pathetic History of a New York
Model.
Cincinnati Commercial.

Ilnc1nnaCl commercial.
A beautiful woman was admired at
the last picture exhibition of the Lotus
Club, New York. She was on canvas
il. a frame, but as big as life, and SO
natural that she easily reigned queen
over all the alive women in the as
semblage. There was nothing indeli-
cate about her. She was adequately
clad in a white WOODEN robe, which
draped her perfect form in classic style,'
though she was labeled q modern girl
at her toilet; and the. ribbon round
her hair, while it was like the circlet
OF a Greek goddess, was presumably
for mere convenience in holding up her,
hair temporarily. The clever idea
was to create q medieval effect with
wholly modern material. The face
and arms were those of g. stately.
blonde, her pose was .commandingly
erect, her color was that Of Drumming
health and spirits and she looked q
very prosperous individual. The art
list. James Carroll Beckwith, was re-
peatedly asked if he had painted from
model. He admitted the picture
was as nearly portrait as any artist
cared to admit in an jdealistic picture.
In response tospecial inquiry, he said:
My model was an English girl. She
was born to q good position, for her
family was almost rich, and highly re-
spected. But she eioped to America,
and sank into abject poverty She
had suffered seriously from cold and
hunger when CHANGED to come ACROSS
her. I employed her TO sit for this
painting, and I have no doubt that
she had once been as proud and queen
y as she therein appears; but, poor
creature, she died before this present
nent Of her beauty. Her fatal illness
Was caused by priyation, though she
was made ~ comfor table as possible

An Old Reporters RecollectiOns,
Samuel Carter Hall was a. Pa1lia-

Samuel Carter Hall was a. Pa,lia-
mentaly reporter in the old House Of
Commons which was burnt down in
1884, and undoubtedly listened to
many orations from Macintosh,
Brougham, and Canning when in their
prime. In his Retrospect OF a Long
Life" Mr.. Hall tells us that it was
often his lot to report prize-fghts, but
that bull-bating, cock-fghting, and
dog-hghting were beginning to be re-
garded as unsavory when he was
boy.
The House OF Commons did not
then adjourn over Derby Day, but
they made no House in order en-
masse to attend q public enter
tainment to the fistic champion Of
England. In those days-witnessed,
be it remembered, by man still
living in our midst-the Prince Regent
thought nothing ofdriving through the
streets Of London with Tom Spring,
the pugilist, seated by his side In
deed, Mr.. Hall once reported a public
dinner given, with a nobleman in the
chair, to Molyneux, the black. "Up
rose the ruttian, writes Mr.. Hall, "his
arm in a sling, his broken jaw covered
by a silk handkerchief, and strips of
diachylon plaster on his lowerlip, and
returned thanks as best he could"
Mr.. Hall adds that, ''passing the
Old Bailey in 1916, I saw six men and
women pendent upon the outside OF
Newgate." It was, in short, cruel
age, and the execution of criminals
for offences which would now be pun
! ished with three months imprisonment
| If punished at all-produced lit
tie effect upon the minds and con-
sciences Of our forefathers. In
1918, Mary Jones, Cornish woman,
was convicted ofstealing a bit ofcloth,
value eight shillings, from shop on
Ludgate Hill. Her husband had been
| pressed and sent to sea, and she had
walked, with her babe in her arms, all
! the way from Cornwall to London, to
find her spouse or, failing him, some
relative with whom she hoped to lodge.
Disappointed in both cases, she walked
| about the streets until almost starved,
and in despair ended by stealing the
| cloth. She was arrested, tried, and
condemned to death. Despite strong
recommendation to mercy, the Judge
zone fthe British school" -ordered
her for execution. At last the pendu-
lum: which had swung too much to-
wards severity, was pushed by public
opinion towards extreme lieniency.

Good Coffee-How To Mako 1t.

Coffee is, with good reason, a favor
tie morning beverage, and, happily,
there are but few who cannot take it,
for it is valuable addition to the
diet. It is nutritious, and acts upon
most people as gentle stimulant, i'm.
parting energy in action, and pro.
ducing q feeling Of restfulness after
great fatigue. It also prevents waste
OF tissue, and enables people to I'M,
dergo great and protracted labor up
on insufficient food. This has been
tested where endurance has been tried
toits utmost, in Arctic expeditions. in
long and toilsome army marches,
and in caravans which plunged into
the mysterious dangers Of the track
less deserts, and which were sustained
by coffee through every exposure and
deprivation of other food. Let
the coffee urn, therefore, send up its
fragrant stream as an invocation to
Hygeis. It is pretty and pleasant, If
you can afford it, to make the coffee
at table, either in q French biggin or a
Vienna coffee-pot," over an alcoholic
lamp. But it is good enough for NOR
tails, brought smoking hot from the
kitchen fire. A good and economical
way of making coffee, is to put the
proper amount for the family, q heap.

EMPLOYEES, COMPLAINTS.
The Meeting of the Minneapolis
Trades and Labor Asse mbIy.

The regular meeting of the Trades and
Labor assembly last evening was largely at
tended. 1t was reported that the Short
Hour league at a meeting held Wednesday
evening decided 10 ask that days work
shall be reduced to nine hours after May 1.
The league embraces the Plasterers', Paint
ers', Brlcklayers'. Carpenters and Joiners'
Union No. "a, Stone Masons', all of whom
have agreed to make q united effort and
to stand by each other in securing the re-
duetiOn. 1t was decided to call public
meeting for discussion of the proposed es-
Enlistment of second state penitentiary.
A delegate reported that the Union Stone
and Building company has issued checks to
its employees for work performed, which
have never been paid. The checks were is
sued weekly, payable the 10th of the coming
month. No checks were paid after Oct.
10, and some of the employees were forced
TO submit to discount of so per cent in
order to get them discounted. Dec 10
200 checks were presented which were not
paid. The families of the men were rep
resented to be in q destitute condition,
their children almost naked and crying for
bread. G.. w. Archer, a contractor, took
work amounting to $1,000. and is still
waiting for his pay. This statement
caused considerable Indignation and lead
to discussion OF the inadequate protec-
ton of the laws intended to secure the
payment of wages. A committee
was finally appointed to wait
upon II. n. Holway. secretary of
the company in behalf of the employees
Similar complaints were made by the en-
ployes of the Minneapolis Bottle Manufac-
turing company, who have been given
checks for their labor in lieu of cash. The
checks were drawn upon the Security bank
and payment was refused. In this instance
the case was laid upon the table. it appear
ing that the glass blowers were not union
men and had signed a contract which for
bid their joining labor organizations. The
resolutions printed in yesterdays GLOBE
in relation to the letting of city contracts
for the furnishing of water pipe were
adopted.

NEARING THE END.
The Skating Race ut Exposition
Rink TO Close Tonight.

\ larger audience than heretofore greeted
the skaters at the Exposition rink last
night, and it being ladies's night a fair
sprinkling of the fair sex was noticed in
the galleries and parQuets. The skaters
started at 1880 sharp and struck twelve
mile gait, which they held through the
first hour, Snowden occasionally squirting
ahead of the Others to keep up the interest.
The men kept well together during
the entire three hours with the ex-
ception of SnOwden and Cole. The
former, by putting in good work.
gained four laps ON Boyst, who holds
second place, which put him one just one
mile ahead. Gamble and Boyst are still
working for second place. and it is ex-
pected that tonight there will be some
hard work done by both of them. Snowden
is sure Of the race and will probably exert
himself to make his lead greater than it
now is. as in the three hours before the
finish of the race it will be impossible for
either BOyst or Gamble to reach him unless
he should suffer some misfortune
Cole, who has held on through
out the race with admirable spirit,
has been playing i'm hard luck.
Tuesday night he fell, cutting his knee and
severely spraining his ankle, and last night
his skate broke, necesSitating his losing
several laps, and he will be obliged TO take
last place in the race. The race ends to-
night at 1880. Following is the score as
IL NOW stands.
