in battle for this flag which we all love. The
whole South and our cemeteries are dotted
with the green graves of hundreds of thousands
of brave men who willingly gave up their lives
for the maintenance of our Union, and who
made the experiment success.
When our fathers pledged their lives, their
fortunes and their sacred honors for the sup
port of that flag it must have been a thrilling
thing to witness as 1t is now q thrilling thing to
think over and remember. AL honor to those
brave, noble men, and may we this day rever'
ence their memory sweetly and cleanly.
When the test of our Government came
in 1861 it found us peaceful
nation. without knowledge of military,
without an army or preparation, and the most
devoted people on the globe. When the first
rebel gun reverberated from Fort Sumter l,OOO-
600 men poured forth from workshop and office,
from mill farm and mine to say, what the
trainers of the Declal alton had said three score
of years before: 1--WE give our lives, our for.
tunes and our sacred honors to the defense OF
our Government, and we would rather fill a
patriots grave in the support of our sacred
Union than allow it to be dismembered."
We should feel grateful to-day that we are
one of this great people, and we should swear
before God eternal allegiance to the country
made by those brave men. whose brilliant ex-
reverence that flag which waves over this land,
the home of the down-trodden of all nations,
where all are free men. and can worship God
according as their conscience dictates, where
there is TO interference and all is liberty.

PATRIOTIC NORTHSIDERS.
A DAY OF NOISE, TUMULT, AND FREEDOM
FROM CASUALTIES.

The Allegheny Youth spends the Fourth In a
\ Paradise of Firecrn kers-Lots of Fun,
but No Fires or Fatnlities-The Evening
Devoted TO Rockets.
Alleghenians were yesterday fred with
dash of that patriotic spirit which thrilled
all the land when the liberty bell of joy and
peace sweetly and grandly rang out free
dom. They celebrated the Fourth of July
with the vigor and animation of an old
fashioned hurrab, several thousand strong.
1t was rally around the frecracker, with
private picknickers as pleasant
back ground, although there were no march,
ing thousands to come to the front with ma
iestic step. Many had fallen in with the
great tidal wave of humanity that rolled
toward the velvety verdure Of Schenley Park
almost before the bright summer morn had
opened her dewv eyes in the country. But
those who remained at home to celebrate
the day had enough fun to go round twice.
Freedoms starry emblem, floating all day
long in the breeze and waving in the streets,
streamed gallantly from public and private
buildings The bursting bombs thundered
and crashed from sunrise to sunset. while
the red glare of the rocket at night illumi-
mated the sky. Pyrotechnics of every shape
and form were touched off with unceas-
ing variety, their beautiful course
in the air followed by thou
sands of watching eyes, while onward
and worldword rolled the happy echo of the
frecracker from every corner OF the city.
Liberty smiled from the azure sky in the
morning, and after the shower in the after
noon she shone upon the city from the
twinkling stars at night.
Good fortune beamed upon the stirring
patriots, and but few casualties were re-
ported from all that din and smoke. Said
Chief of Police Murphy last night: I'VE
let the boys fire away in the streets, and the
city has come out without scratch. "
This plan to prevent disastrous fires has
proven a success, and reflects credit on the
police officials for their foresight In the
matter. Several unlucky burns and incl
dental mistortunes marked one or two OF the
merry wights but their inj uries are not OF
serious nature.
Interest was mainly centered on the pleas
ing charms of the giant and midget fire.
crackers, including all the near and distant
relatives to those popular explosives.
When night began to spread her sable garb
about, with silent tread, additional charm was
lent to the occasion by the sight of beautiful
rockets ,and roman candles and numberless
other fireworks that jeweled the great dome
of heaven like gems of variegated hues.
North avenue, Federal and Ohio streets
were the main points of pyrotechnical dis
plays, and the streets were crowded with
sightseers. 1t was late in the night ere all
was quiet along she Allegheny, and even
then stray crackers here and there popped
their last pop in the shadowy stiffness of
approaching morn.

COULDN'T PICK UP THE DIME.
One Young Man Who Will Regret hi
Fourth of July Experience.

One Young Man Who VIII Regret His
Fourth of July Experience.
A gay young fellow, anchored too heavily
with grog, stepped up to bar yesterday
and laying down quarter asked for glass
OF whisky. His step was very uncertain
and noticing number of his companions
watching him nearby, he braced up and
tried to appear sober, task which not even
trained topers are able to perform. He
made number of attempts before he sue
ceeded in emptying his glass. and in the
meantime the barkeeper had taken the price
and given him 10 cents in change.
Now his troubles began. 1t was difficult
for him to hold glass, but to pick the dime
from the counter was too much for him
under the circumstances. His overweening
anxiety to convince his companions that he
was all right served to make matters worse.
After performing numerous gyrations and
running sharp risks OF stretching himself on
the floor in vain attempt to pick up the
money, he leaned over the counter and said
confdentially to the liquor mixer: 81 guess
must be drunk. Give me cigar and take
the ten cents" He got it.

evidence of its existence.

Large Crowd.
One has no idea of the extent of the park,
until trip from one end to the other is
made. Over in Allegheny, when person
walks from one end of the park to the other,
it is made subject of comment. If any
body wants to have something to talk about
for a week, let him tramp from one end of
Mount Airy to the other and then make a
general tour around the outside of the
ground A DISPATCH man tried it yester-
day and he would probably be walking yet
if he hadn't become lame on account of his
long tramp.
The trip was made from Mount Bigelow
to the Zoo" Down one hill, up another,
over some of the prettiest wooded scenery In
this part of the country, the reporter
wandered until the sight Of Jim Meningitis
pet bear loomed up on the horizon. The
reporter thought he had almost walked over
the other end Of Squirrel Hill, when he
found himself at the Geological gardens.
During the day the place was crowded with
thousands of people looking at the animals.
Many of the former expected to see the
wrestling match between Mr.. Mcknight
and the bear, and were greatly disappointed
IN consequence.

The children were especially interested in
the antics OF the bears. A headquarters for
lost children had been established here
the Fourteen, and Dugan, of the Nineteenth
ward station houses. A number of children
got sick during the day, but outside OF this
the ladies had nothing to do.
Superintendent Mcknight. to show his
patriotic spirit, turned the bald-headed
eagle loose, and the bird evidently under
stood what was required of him. He
topped his wings together two or
three times, cast his off eye in the
direction of his tail. where some Britisher
had pulled out some of his feathers, and
with a piercing shrek for freedom, he few
into a neigbboring tree where he could OBJ
serve the celebration, in which he was sup
posed to play small part. The bird saw
about everything that was going on and
had the appearance of being out for time.
When night came, an attempt was made to
capture it, but the proud bird Of freedom
evidently did not have enough celebration
and refused to be caught. At last accounts
it was still flying through the park awaken
ing the echos in Panther Hollow and soaring
the people. 1t is not at all likely that the
eagle will leave the grounds.

The persons who celebrated the Fourth
with hilarious '.iags" were numerous. The
saloon men did fair business, though not
as rushing as in the days of Judge Whites
famous 90. At the Union depot the
drunken indi viduaIs gave the police officers
considerable tronble. The day force was
retained in the evening to lend their assist
ance and as soon as a man suffering from
the effects of an overdose of corn juice was
discovered he was promptly elected from
the station.
There were all sorts and de-
grees OF drunks; the fellow in the
maudlin condition, who wanted to lie
on the seats and sleep; the modest
man when sober, whose courage was
screwed up to the point where nothing
would satisfy him except to make stump
speech. and the quarrelsope citizen who
had some imaginary grievance, and was
anxious to square accounts with the world.
They were all treated alike, and in beauti-
fUl coolers were placed to sleep off the
effects of the booze and regret this morning

Oakland Square Residents ind the Linden
Club Celebrate the Day.
About the most beautiful display of fire.
works in the city was witnessed at Oakland
Square last evening. The pretty little park
in the center of the square was brightly
illuminated with American, japanese and
Chinese lanterns. Every house was lighted
up and decorated from attic to basement,
and the event will be long remembered by
the people of that vicinity. The fireworks
were set off in the park, and brass band
played an accompaniment to each set piece.
Thousands of people went out from the city
20 view the illumination, and were pleased
beyond their expectations.
The Linden Club, of the East End, also
had o display of its own on the boulevard
to the right of the club house. The set
pieces showed great taste on the part of the
managers of the celebration. At the con-
clusion of the display Of pyrotechnics, the
members and friends to the number of
about 500 held reception and dance in the
club house.
The guests Of the Kenmawr Hotel, in
East Liberty, were TO have had a select
little celebration, but owing TO premature
explosion the pyrotechnics went of little
TOO early for a successful display.

Universal Verdict on the Daylight Fireworks
ut the Pnrk.
The fireworks display at schenley Park
was held in large field back Of Mt. Bige-
low, and was without doubt the finest col
lection of daylight pyrotechnics ever seen in
this city. The display was under the direc-
ton of Theodore H. Heyl, of Heyl &
Jones, assisted by E. w. Heyl and
Conrad Moerlein. The display cost in
the neighborhood of 5000, and was
selected in New York by Mr.. Heyl. 1t
consisted of pigs, lanterns, globes, stars,
dice, goats, deer, parachutes, thunder storms,
hrysanthemums, men on horses, American
flags, pearls cast before swine, dogs, and al
most every conceivable object.
In addition to these, one dozen three
pound calliope rockets were sent up, the
first in PIttsburg. The whistling of the
rockets could be heard for a mile. About
30 balloons and grotesque figures were also
sent up.
