Reviews the Great Parade.
Boston, Aug. lathe great Grand
Army parade took place to-day and
the encampment was formally opened.
Over 200, 1000 strangers are in the city
and the streets have not been so
crowded since the quarter-millenial
celebration ten years ago.
The street scenes of to-day have been
of the most picturesque and stirring
description. One cannot walk the
length of a block down town without
meeting q acore of soldiers.
Music, too, is heard at every tuIn.
Washington street, especially from
Dover street north, is thronged with
strangers, who lounge along the side
walk, stopping here and there to study
a particularly attractive decoration.
The familiar blue of the Grand Army
uniform dots the moving mass of black
and gray, into which white and gayer
hues are mixed.
President Harrison, surrounded by
members of his Cabinet and generals of
the army, reviewed the parade.

of the kind ever attempted in the armo-
nv. The non commissioned officers
dropped out in order to leave the
field open to the privates. Com
ing on towards the finish the
race lay between privates Daniels,
Cady, Blanchard and McKeever, The
latter two finally were compelled to
retire and then there was a hot contest
between Daniels and Cady. The latter
gave an exhibition of the manual and
distance marching that could scarcely
be equalled. Daniels was almost
las we'll drilled, but lost one or
two points. On guard duty, however.
Private Daniels proved himself
the superior and was awarded the
medal. The three judges Col Doherty,
Capt Wolff and ex-Capt Hall awarded
the prize by small margin of percent

years by Private George Hall, who is no

to the Average.
The weather during the week just
ended has been generally favorable for
all crops, although the want of rain is
being felt to some extent. Corn is grow
ing finely everywhere; potatoes are
doing well and in Massachusetts, those
that are being dug are of good size and
fine quality, though few in the hill.
There is no report of rot in Massachus-
etts but in Connecticut some pieces are
being dug because they are rotting in
the ground. In Rhode Island the
largest crop of early potatoes has been
secured that has been dug for years
Pastures have improved and rowen is
growing well, especially on wet lands,
but the crop will be light. Tobacco is
growing well and one observer in
southern. Massachusetts, says is looking
better than for years. Berries are genel-
ally abundant apples continue to drop
off and the pear crop promises small.
At Leominster peaches and plums are
rottlng on the trees,

Charles Conway of Bloomfield Loses
His Right Hand.
Charles Conway of Bloomfield Center
was severely injured near Jerome's
woods in that town on Sunday night by
the Central New England train leaving
Hartford at 9:1S. He had probably laid
down on the track, in an intoxicated
condition, and the wonder is that he was
not killed. He remembers nothing
about the occurrence and did not be-
come conscious until an early hour yes
terday morning, when he awoke to find
his right hand horribly mangled and
several fingers gone. Notwithstanding
the loss of blood which had resulted, he
walked to Bloomfield, where he was
taken care of by Tudor Wilton, for
whom he works. He was brought to the
hospital in Hartford later in the morn
ing, and had his hand amputated.
Benjamin Lee, the wealthy farmer
who disappeared from Ridgefield, Sun
day, was found a few miles below DAN
bury yesterday morning, half clothed and
nearly dead. Although worth $3.50, 900
he said he was homeless. He had been
lying by the roadside in a heavy rain.
John Manning, IL years old, of Fair
Haven in jumping from hay loft Mon
day caught his tongue between his teeth.
The force of striking his chin against
his knee as he reached the ground cut
off the end of his tongue. The wound
is painful and serious.
An unknown man was found on the
down track of the Consolidated road,
about half a mile south of Berlin depot,
shortly before midnight last night. He
had probably been struck by a train.

The work on Holmes, Booth & Hay
dens' new mill is progressing rapidly
gang of men at work putting the iron
roof in position. The addition will be
used as wire mill, the company having
decided some time ago to draw their
own wire The Benedict & Durham
Manufacturing company also contem-
plate drawing their own wire. For
years these companies have purchased
their wire at the mills in Ansonia. The
action of the companies in securing

poet, editor and author was so suddenly
cut off by the cruel reaper, as was an
nounced in our dispatches yesterday.

ready with tongue as well as pen,
prompt to respond with sympathy and
purse to the cali Of the needy and the
suffering, and no one will question the
single heartedness of his patriotic feel

of his birth. He was personally known
to many of our citizens, who recall with
great pleasure hours spent in his society
in this city, and who sincerely mourn
his death.

TIE MEAT SUPPLY is SHORT.
Freights Not Running on the New
England Rond.

England Road.
There is a scarcity of meat in town to-
day, but the dealers anticipate no great
annoyance and expect to be able to sup
ply their customers. The trouble is
caused by the strike on the New York
Central road and the suspension of
freight traffic on the New England road
in order to carry the thousands of ex-
cursionists to the G. A. r. encampment
at Boston. One of the dealers said this
morning that there would be plenty of
meat by tomorrow and that there need
be no fear of an advance in prices. In
fact he thought the prices would be
lower if anything. 1t is certain that
much of the meat now in transit will be

The laws of New Jersey against
oleomargarine are stringent and sweep
ing. They are almost prohibitory OF
trade in hat commodity. But they
can easily be evaded.
Suppose hat oleomargarine put up
inpound packages is sent from New
York, Connecticut or some other State
to shopkeepers in this State. Such
shopkeepers are free to sell it. The
State may not prohibit the sale, tax it
or require the seller to take out a Ii
cense. 1t may not require the stuff to
be branded or that the color and ap-
pearance of butter be avoided.
In short the Legislature has no
power to regulate or interfere with its
sale. Hence the existing law must fail
il its operation. So far as it applies
TO oleomargarine, that falls under the
head of interstate commerce.
That decision Of the Supreme Court
will be found in time to be of more
sweeping scope than was at first sup
posed.

COMMUNICATION.
FOURTH OF JULY.

Mr.. EDITOR ave stirred up the
dry bones somewhat, by our article in
last weeks paper, and heard some
comments ON it without the people be-
ing aware that Bohemian was near by
and gathered it all in. We also saw
some, good results from that little
''piece," in the presence of our slow-go-
easy citizens who never-well, hardly
ever, 90 to church and came to hear
"this Teller that talks right out in
meetin'." But we are not going to
talk about church matters to-day, but
will for the present allow that matter
to rest. This weeks BANNER Qong
may it wave), will be laid before the
people the day before the anniversary
of the birth of the Nation and we wish
to talk about that for, although we are
going down the shady side of the hill
now, we are just as young as we were,
when as a boy we could not sleep the
night before the Fourth so filled were
we with glorious anticipation of the
fizz and the boom, the racket and roar
of one of the old-fashioned celebrations
that we knew was coming on the NOR
row. 1t is customary for us old fogies
Gold and surly, rheumatic and cranky
to condemn the uproar of that day but
Just this once, let the youngsters have
their way.
Why it was a glorious event that
Fourth of July, 1916, when the old
Liberty Bell pealed forth the glad
news hat at last the Continental Con
gress had declared chat these United
Colonies are, and of a right ought to
be, free and independent States that
they are absolved from all allegiance
to the British crown, and that all
political connection between them and
the State of Great Britain is, and ought
to be totally dissolved" Why as

to-day and we say, ring all the bells

let the tramp of martial men be heard
throughout the land. On this the

Heavens richest gifts we come to lay
our tribute at Thy feet and swear al

The House committee on the Judic-
ary goes one better than the Senate on
the "original package question when
it decides, as it has just done, to report
a substitute for the Senate bill making
imported liquors subject to the laws Of
the State in which they are sold, which
places all articles of trade in the same
boat in which the Senate bill puts in
toxicating liquor.
After a long and unaccountable de-
lay the conferees on the Silver bill
have been appointed. They are Sena-
tors Sherman, Jones and Harris and
Representatives Conger, Walker and
Bland.
The acme of absurdity in the pension
line was certainly reached when Rep
resentative Connell of Nebraska intro
duced a bill (by request) in the House
providing for a pension of 81, So, $12,
and $15 per month"; according to age,
to all living ex-slaves. This remark
able bill also provides that each of
these e~x-slaves between the ages of
sixty and seventy shall receive in addi-
ton to the pension, $500 and those
over seventy $500.
