Though prating fools in Parliament
May do their utmost to prevent
The peoples knowing who are who,
Or finding out what they can do;
In spite Of them all, howe'er they may
bawl,
And Wrong defend with might and
main,
The Right it shall win, and the good
days begin
When the people have their own again.
The Right, etc.
The lawyers all may do their best
For profit, rent and interest;
And parsons also after fees
May give the coward conscience ease;
But writ on the wall is the tale of their
Whose pleasure is the peoples pain;
Ere long they'll be gone and freedom be
When the people have their own again!
Ere long, etc.
We see the promise in the East,
The dawning day of freedoms feast;
And though the de5pOts call it crime
To hail with JOY the coming time,
Right well do we know how soon they
must 90,
And hear their threatening with dis
dain
We know at length that we shall rise in
our strength,
And the people have their own again
We know, etc.

A Chicago Anarchist Has Narrow Escape
From Lyncking-The SanRuinary Em.
blem Promptly Cut DOwn-A
ChupteP of Accidents.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.I
CHICAGO, April 30.-Chicago never had
such celebration as it has enjoyed to-day.
1t is estimated that 100000 people
were in the streets, that $4,000 were present
at the meetings, and 100000 children at
tended the exercises in the schools. An
Anarchist caused some trouble early in the
day by hoisting a red umbrella and red
flag from his building near the Haymarket
square. A bowling crowd gathered about
the place.
Inside the building was M. W. Doty. a
machinist. He had club and an ak. He
threatened TO kill anybody that entered the
place. A fireman climbed upon the roof
and with pike knocked down the scarlet
umbrella and the rag. Doty came out upon
the street in rage. The crowd closed in
on him and knocked him down. George
Ferguson, a molder, kicked him in the
stomach. Then the mob tried to lynch
Doty, but he broke away and hid in a sa-
loon, where he remained all day.
Later in the day during the parade of the
Zouayes of the Church of the Holy Name,
H. Ratzell ran over a little boy and then
drove away at a furious speed. A crowd
followed him and pulled him out of. the
buggy and stoned him. He was finally
saved by squad of policemen. A sneak
thief who had taken S44 from a Mrs. Thom-
son, of Peoria, at the lake front, was cut
down by hussar, who swung his saber just
as the thief was running awsy. The
wounded man will not die.
Two men, who came from Abingdon to
see the celebration here to-day, blew out
the gas in their bedroom last night and
were found dead this morning. The patrol
wagon that took the bodies to the morgue
was decorated with flags.

The Bo.top 1deal,, prorr.mme.

The programme for the engagement of the
Boston Ideal Opera Company at the Grand
Opera House next week has been so ar
ranged that the strongest works in the rep
ortory will be performed during the first
three nights. There are Gounod's "Faust.
Rossini's Barber of Seville" and Bizet's
Carmen" On Monday night Faust
will be given in its entirety, including the
church scene, and exceptional interest in
this performance is excited by the announce
ment that the popular zelie de Lussan will
then make her first appearance here
as Marguerite, a character so widely
different from any of the others in which she
has been seen in this city that the greatest
curiosity is naturally felt to see the dashing
vivandiere of Donizetti's Daughter of the
Regiment" the bold and wayward Gear
men" transformed into the quieter and sor-
rowful heroism of Goethe immortal poem.
Mile. de Lussan has appeared as Marguerite
in st. Louis, Memphis, Louisville, Cincin-
natl and Cleveland, and the consensus Of
criticism and opinion in these cities makes
this, her latest Impersonatlon, her greatest
artistic triumph.

ESPECIAL rELEGRAM TO THE DIsPkrcH.l
CHARLESTON, s. c., April 30.-Centen-
nial Day was observed here by generous
display of bunting and general supension
of business. Religious services were held
in all the Catholic churches, and in two Of
the Episcopal churches. A decided sensa-
tion was caused by a sermon delivered at
st. Philips, the Oldest Episcopal church in
the city, by Bishop Howe, In which he used
the following remarkable language:
presume my friends know we are here to
day in obedience to that first lesson which as
churchmen we learned in our catechism: ITO
honor and obey the civil authority" A CEN
tury ago, after his Inauguration, General
washington walked down to JON In PRAYER and
New York. Washington was elected Pres
ident and was first in the hearts OF
countrymen, and all hailed his
Thanksgiving. How different the aspect Of
things to-day. If I can believe what have
read in the daily papers, without meaning any
dlsrespect to the present incumbent, President
Harrison, he is the choice of party and not Of
the people. Washington was chosen with one
consent cannot but think but that the present
incumbent has been chosen by the power of
money. The Bible tells US to be thankful in
all things, not for all things. ST. Paul and
Silas sung praises to God in the prison at mid
night scourged and with their feet set in the
stocks. Paul and Silas did not thank God for
stocks and for the scourges, but they thanked
God in and under the stocks. So our thanks
giving must be put on a minor key when we re-
member the late war and what we have passed
through.
remember while preaching in this pulpit at
hearing shell exploding in the neighboring
street. That war has left us a legacy, one OF
the greatest problems any nation of this world
ever had to solve. Hence repeat though we
must be thankful under all things our thank
fulness must be again on that minor key.
Circumstances, or as 1t Is phrased gen.
orally. our environment, expresses the
will of God and we bow to His decision. We
thank Him for the preservation of life and
property, and while the love of country may
have become dimmed in our hearts, we pray
that 1t may arise in the hearts of our children.
To be without love of country is next to being
without the love of God. May He enable our
children and our children's children to meet
the grave future that is before them.
Bishop Howe is anative of Vermont. He
came South early in life, and has been
Bishop of his diocese for II years. He has
been fighting for the rights Of the colored
men in the Diocesan Convention for ten
years, and it was his ruling in the conven-
ton. of 1886 that caused the secession of
many of the parishes. The sermon has
caused much excitement here.

A SHORT WORD SERMON.
Easy Enough to Say What You Mean With.
ont Using POlysylIRbles.

Easy EnOuRn 10 say What You Mem With.
ont Using POlysylIables.
Detroit Free Press.1
Does the man say that he can not write a
book or an article with little words? Then
he is very wrong. If he knew how many
little words there are in the speech of this
land he would not say that he cannot find
those small words. And it may be said
that these small words have more force than
the big words, because the soul of the
tongue, or it would be more fit to say speech,
is to be found in the short words more than
in the long. In this all the men who write
on words think as one. They feel that the
very life of the thing is shown in the short
word. There is no long word that will take
the place of buzz, sour, roar, splash, acid,
scrape, sough, whiz, bang, rough, smooth,
keen, blunt, thin. Each of these words is
like the thing which it sets forth, and so it
is more strong and helps the brain in its
work.
If one were to try to put long word in
the place of the short one in this sense he
would have TO write more than one word to
reach the same idea. Short words do not
drain the strength of the mind. They leave
it free to work in other ways. The mind is
not able to cope with the thought and the
mode of speech at the same time. Hence,
when we try to use our mind on two themes
we find that it loses much of its force. But
the chief beauty of the short word, put side
by side with the long word, is that the short
word is known by every one that can read.
The long word is not known. Only those
who study can know the long words. If the
man who writes does his full duty to the
people who read, he will write for the great
mass of the people.
The man who writes book, or who writes
for any kind of work or any kind of print,
should feel that he teaches as well as writes.
He should feel that he writes to put ideas
into the minds of all. How can the mass
of the people get these ideas in shape SO
that they can feel their full sense if they
can not know them? The idea is not worth
the thought. They can not do it. Again,
long words are weak. Shert words are
strong. There are some places where a
long word shows the idea more than the
short one. 1 will cite to prove this any
place where one seeks to show a large
thought. In that case long word is
much more fit than short word.
To show by the use of a. long and
a short word: "Stupendous" brings
to the mind a more full idea of the thing
shown than the short word ''vast, +" "mag-
nifcent" than grand" disgusting" than
NASTY But in most cases it is wiser to
use the short word than the long.
If the reader will take the trouble to
count the words in the foregoing short essay
he will find that they number 519. There is
not among them, excepting the three quoted
words introduced as illustrations, a word of
more than two syllables. There, is no orna-
mentation about the essay, but It cannot be
denied that it is terse and vigorous. That
should be the end sought BY every writer.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
CHICAGO, April 30.-During the pyro-
technic display at the Lake front tonight,
two unmanageable horses plunged into the
great crowd in Michigan boulevard. A
terrible panic ensued. Men, women and
children, who had been packed together
for over an hour. rushed in every
direction. Many were knocked down and
trampled upon. Others were crushed by
the horses. Miss Kittie Conway, Mrs:
George F. Farrer, Mrs. f. E. Brady and
Miss Jennie Crowley were probably fatally
hurt. They were tramrled upon and thrown
into convulsions.
Several other victims were carried away
to their homes. Others were borne to the
hotels and stores in the neighborhood. So
far as can be learned 10 persons, nearly all
women, were injured. Four Of these it
is thought will die. A few mo-
ments after the panic on the boulevard
set piece of pyrotechnics toppled over
while ablaze and burned five boys, all of
whom are now at the county hospital.
David Grant is probably fatally injured,
The rest will recover. A woman whose
name is unknown was also fatally burned.
The rushing of the ambulances and pa
troll wagons created another panic in the
great crowd, which numbered 25, 900 per-
sons, but there were no additional accidents.
A big park policeman checked the boule-
ward panic by throwing one of the horses
upon his launches and holding him
there until assistance came. Several chill
dren who were swept away, from their pa
rents are now at the police stations.
