The hand Contest.

The announcement that there would
be contest between the several bands
from other cities for handsome water
service drew to the Sixth Street Park
thousands of people, and at half past 3
O'Clock, the time set for the contest 10
begin, the walks, grass plots and
even the sidewalks surrounding the
park were crowded with people desirous
of listening to the music. Every street
car bound in that direction was taxed to
its utmost capacity with men, women
and children. The latter seemed to take
an immense enjoyment in rolling over
the closely cut grass, and if the appear
ance of the park was slightly injured
by the crowd, the benefit conferred
upon the people will more than
compensate for the loss of beauty. Water
and care for few days will put the
park in shape again. 1t was expected
that three bands would contest for the
prize, the Santa Ana, Grange and Ana
helm, but at 4 O'Clock, when the contest
commenced, the Anaheim band with
drew. Each of the other bands had IA
men and the Anaheim band was short
several pieces. without which the
leader, w. A. Bittner, did not
care to play. The Santa Ana band was
under the leadership of F. D. Leonard,
and the Orange band under o. G. Con-
ley. For Judges Professor j. n. Bren-
ner, Colonel G. E. Daley and w. H..
Shilling were selected. The Santa Ana
band commenced the contest with "Port-
land Cadets" quckstep. The Orange
band followed with "Pride of the from
bones" quickstep. The Santa Ana
band then rendered selections from
Verdi's opera Macbeth, and the Orange
band closed with the ida May" waltzes.
Both bands played we'll, and the Santa
Ana organic alton shows that it has been
kept we'll in hand. The Committee on
Award gave the prize to the Santa Ana
band, which was heartily cheered, and
the assemblage dispersed.

firing of anvils, and from the moment
the dawn awakened until the day was

OF festivities. Very few Santa Monicans
went up to Los Angeles, being content
with the excellent programme that had

style. A feature of the show was Mr..

handsomely decorated and drawn by
blooded horses.
The afternoon was devoted to witness

THE FOURTH.
How 1t was Celebrated in
Los Angeles.
THOUSANDS VISIT THE CITY.
The Parade-Literary Exercises a
the Pavilion-Band Contest
in the Park.

At day-break yesterday morning ga
lutte of forty-two guns at the West End
and the explosion of bombs and giant
crackers in other portions Of the city, an
nounced to the citizens that Independ
ence Day had arrived, and that its cele
bration had already commenced. Al
hour later the city was astir, and by min,
O'Clock the din of exploding fireworks OF
all sides was deafenipg. The appearance
of the streets at this time was most en-
livening. From nearly all the buildings
on the principal thoroughfares the ma
tional flag fioated in the gentle breeze
that came in from the west. Across the
streets at distances of about hundred
feet apart were suspended stream
ers of flags and other de-
vices, patriotic in character. The fronts
of the buildings had been given aholday
appearance by their decorations in red,
white and blue streamers, and every
where were to be seen preparations in
progress for the parade. Vehicles, horses
and men, decorated with the National
colors, passed in quick succession, and 1t
became apparent, even at this early hour,
that the celebration would be one Of the
best ever witnessed in this city. The
crowded coaches of people from the sur
rounding towns, which arrived at the
various depots, showed that Los Angeles
city was the center of attraction for the
day. 1t was estimated that fully 5000
people came to the city during the morn
ing on the various trains and 1000 more
drove in with their vehicles. In conse-
quence Of this visitation the thorough
fares commenced to be crowded early in
the morning, and as the time for the par
ade drew near the crush of people was
80 great that it was impossible to
travel about the streets with any degree
of comfort. Every street.car from the
outlaying districts brought to the center
of the city as many people as it could
carry, and besides these, vehicles of all
kinds, from backs to express wagons,
were pressed into service. At half past
10 O'Clock those who resided within
walking distance OF the center of the city
Joined the throng on the line of the pro-
cession and even the housetops and the
windows were filled with people anxious
to witness the first event of the day. At
this time detachments Of the procession
marched through the streets on their
way to Main and Sixth streets, where
the line was formed. Bands and drum
corps were heard on every side, and
shortly afterwards word was passed
along the line that the procession had
started.
The balcony OF the Nadeau house had
been reserved for the invited guests. 1t
had been handsomely draped and an
awning had been arranged overhead to
shield its occupants from the sun, which,
in the middle of the day was 80 warm as
to be trihe uncomfortable. Mayor
Hazard, the members of the Council and
other invited guests, including many
ladies, viewed the parade from this
point.

Struck by n Train.

The 80 train on the San Gabriel VAL
ley Rapid Transit road caused an &C.
cident on Wednesday evening about a
quarter of a mile the other side of
Ramona. Two drunken men, in wagon
drawn by two horses, drove across the
track just in front of the train. The
locomotive struck the wagon just under
the seat, and sent the men flying in the
air. One of the men was stunned, and
both of them were SO drunk that they
couldn't give their names. The horses
were uninjured, but, being released
from the wagon and frightened by the
collision, ran away.

Deputies.

The French chamber of deputies was yester-
day again the scene Of great disorder. NJ. lie
Herisse assailed the government, accusing it of
violating the law by the recent arrest of Bou-
langists at Angouleme. NJ. Laguerre stigma
tiled the affair as a trap laid for himself and
friends. The high court, he said, was a parody
on justice.
The president of the chamber called NJ.
Laguerre to order. The speaker, however,
proceeded. using abusive language against NJ.
Constans, the minister of the interior. The
president then proposed that the house refuse
the speaker further hearing. The proposal
was approved and NJ. Laguerre was ordered to
resume his seat. He declined. however to
leave the tribune. An uproar arose and the
president left the chamber, while the public
galleries were cleared.
The sitting was resumed after an hours
adjournment N. Laguerre still occupied the
tribune. The president thereupon censured
NJ Laguerre and excluded him temporarily
from the chamber. The sitting was closed at
5:l3 p. m. VI. Laguerre defantly remained on
the tribune until O'Clock. Suspicious that the
house would resume business. When he left
the boulanglst group saluted him with cheers,
which were drowned by storm of bisses and

BE GOOD TO YOURSELF.
The GOSPEL OF Joe Howard.

Col Eugene Field has had talk with Col.
Joe Howard, and according to Col Field, here
is what Col Joe Howard said:
ga serious mistake that most men make 10
in not understanding, in not being frank with,
and in not being good to themselves The
golden rule il very lovely, and believe in it,
but also believe that every man should know
himself and be good to himself 1 have tried
to be good to myself and honest with myself
all my life. Every night, before I 60 to bed, 1
stand before my mirror, and, arranging the
collar Of my knight-gown. or brushing my mus
tache, or rubbing my old bald head with bay
rum, look at myself in the mirror and say:
All, Joe, old boy, how are you feeling2 You're
looking weu-not very much hair. old man
but you're looking fat and happy. Have
you had good day Of it? Have you been
good to yourself? Have you done any
thing to be sorry for?' Then, perhaps, say In
answer to these questions: No, I've been
only fairly good to myself to-day, and I'm not
as comfortable as ought to be- Then say:
Come. come Joe, old boy, don't get blue
don't feel dispirited! Brace up and determine
to be more careful hereafter. Don't let me
hear you whining or complaining. Go to bed,
old man, thinking only Of the bright side Of
life, and get up to morrow fresh and strong for
more good things Or, very often Joe says to
been good TO myself, and I feel like fighting
cock Then say to Joe: That's right, old
boy! That's the way to feel, and that's the way
to talk! Now, go to bed and sleep soundly-no
monkey business-good night, Joe, pleasant
dreamsp Then / shake hands with myself,
turn out the gas. and jump into bed, and,
heavens. how I do sleep-as soundly and as
peacefully as child! There's nothing like it.
there's nothing like being good to oneself and
being on good terms with oneselfr"

One of the Strangest Proposals Of Mar

From the indianapolis journal.
Abraham Lincon's offer Of marriage was a
very curious one. and singularly enough, il has

biographers have been, and closely as they
