For several years past it has been custom
airy for everybody to turn out on the Monday
evening following the fourth and close out
! the balance remaining of the fire works,
sometimes having bonfire and dumping
| fire-crackers, large and small, Roman
candles and even sky rockets by the box in
| the fire and await the result, which was
oftentinies very dangerous as the sky-rock-
cts would go in every direction. Fortunately
no accident ever occurred until Monday
evening last when the hilarity was at its
| highest pitch and candles, crackers, rockets
and every variety of fireworks were flying
in various directions when a sham attack
was made ON Jack Floods saloon and during
the excitement VIM. Graham lighted one of
those large fire-crackers and while trying to
| ignite another the first one went off in his
hand, injuring his hand, face and neck quite
seriously but not fatally unless something
unforeseen sets in. This accident was soon
announced to the crowd and what was one
moment scene of hilarity and jollifcation,
the next was crowd whose cOuntenances
depicted anxiety and sincere sorrow, but

o. G. Allen and wife enjoyed the fourth

Elder Waterman used as a subject for his
discourse on Sunday evening "Your Best
Girl" The subject was rather a novel one
but he handled it in such a way that made
it very interesting, and although some of
the audience thought his remarks were
rather pointed yet if his teachings were fol-
lowed there would be very much less dis
cord existing. AS the subject was previously
announced it drew quite crowd, some of
whom l presume came out of curiosity, but
even then there was chance to profit by
the lesson taught. On Sunday evening
next, providence permitting, the subject
will be ''Your Best Fellow" and another

sHERMAN's ESTATE.

His Family Say He Was Not an Improvi-
dent Man.
PHILADELPHIA, April 22.-Lieutenant
Thackeray says while Miss Elizabeth
Sherman and her sister would accept
the 500, 900 fund, because it was to be
given as token of the subscribers love
for General Sherman, the publication in
the New York papers that General
Sherman was an improvident man has
caused his family much annoyance. He
was just the reverse.
''At the lowest estimate" remarked
Lieutenant Thackery, ''Miss Elizabeth
Sherman and her sister and brother Te-
cumseh, have an income OF $4,000 year.
This is sufficient to live comfortably on,
besides General Sherman left great
mass of war correspondence of histor-
ical value. Many publishers have re-
Gently asked access to them. In this
way the estate will be very valuable.
Then, also, there will be good income
from the. generals memoirs. Miss
Elizabeth Sherman and sister are sorry
so large fund as 100000 should have
been raised"

THERE were some un-American Incl
dents OF yesterdays parade in connec-
ton with the action of the police. Not
ably at the city hall previous to the in
PRODUCTION of the president, and again
in front of the Hollenbeck hotel, while
the presidential trunks were being un-
loaded. There can be no possible criti-
cism offered to any action which would
increase the honor paid to the city's
guest, but the action of Chief Glass in
forcing thousands OF people to leave the
sidewalks and walk out into the street
around the drays out of respect for lot
of impedimenta was more that of an Of
fetal lackey than of servant of the
city. Neither was there any occasion
for the extreme rudeness of the police
at the city hall. The chiefs capacity
for making mistakes appears to be un-
limited

A Good Investment.

SAN Francisco, April pa meeting
of representatives from twenty irriga-
tion districts of the state was held today
to take action toward promoting
the sale of irrigation bonds. Mr..
Isador Jacobs presided, and said
that the chamber OF commerce would
assist as far as possible in tine aid OF the
cause of irrigation. He considered
bonds issued under the Wright irriga-
tion law good investment for capital
lists, they having been passed upon by
the supreme court.
Judge Hazen then read paper hold
ing that the name of these bonds should
be made as well known as those of other
gilt-edged securities. Two hundred
thousand dollars worth have been
bought by San Francisco bankers, and
some OF them have been sold abroad.
1t was decided to persuade San Fran
cisco bankers toindorse irrigation bonds,
so that market for them might be
found in the east.

THE NEXT MORNING.

The roses lie on the street crushed
and soiled. The air in the banquet room
is heavy with stale smoke of Havanas
The bunting is bedraggled, and many a
headache is throbbing away this morn
ing. The children, God bless them, are
as fresh as daisies, however, and are
ready to cheer for the president today
as heartily as ever.
Now that we are all cool and little
weary, the real lessons to be derived
from yesterdays festal events can be
comprehended.
In the first place all the fanfare was
simply an expression of the intense ad-
miration that Americans have for the
greatest of all their institutions-the
right of putting into power their choice
for chief executive.
1t was also token of the passionate
loyalty which every citizen feels, but to
which they SO rarely give an expression.
The American people are not very
prone to demonstrations, but when they
do give vent to their feelings, they do it
as they live, as they fight, as they do
everything in fact-with their whole
SOUL
The affair of yesterday was also a
strong showing of the homogeniety Of
the people. Here is nations chief
who, three thousand miles from his
home, is as heartily received as he could
be on the Atlantic coast. In Galveston,
in Los Angeles, in San Francisco as in
New York, Mr.. Harrison will find the
one people principle the feature of all
the sentiment expressed.
We are all the better off for having
received President Harrison, and the
best wish we can make him is to ex-
press the hope that he has enjoyed his
visit as much as our people have en-
joyed having him as their guest.

SOME RECORDS.

Some remarkable records have been
made in recent years, in addition to
horse-racing, trotting, and the general
run of athletic records. For instance, a
man was recently credited with picking
up seventy-one grains of coin with his
mouth, and without the use of hands,
at one dive in swimming bath at
England. Another man is credited
with folding 800 newspapers, three folds,
heads out, in 13 minutes 26 seconds.
b. R. Pollock, Jr., holds the telegraph
ing record, having sent out 26O words in
five minutes. Miss Mac E. Orr is the
champion typewriter. She recently
averaged, for five minutes, ninety-nine
words per minute. Joseph McCann,
using three-quarter double cases, solid
minion, twenty-five ems measure, re-
print copy, with helpers to empty sticks,
set 1000 ems in 30 minutes.
But these records, peculiar and won
derful as they are, are not
patch to what some Los An
geles people have accomplished.
For record as is record, in his line,
Mr.. James M. Damron is certainly
ahead of all competitors. Then there is
Lockwood and the Edelmans, who have
unquestionably distanced all competi-
tors. District Attorney MacLachlan
has his record also, the latest addition
to it being the Lockwood prosecutions.
Then come the supervisors; no one can
say they have not made a record, while
Mr.. Aaron Smith is far ahead of any
competitor.
The only omission that comes to mind
is the record of those leading citizens"
who requested Mr.. Smiths last, or at
least one of Mr.. Smiths appointments,
of the honorable board. The names
have not yet been recorded but will be
with the greatest pleasure, whenever
the supervisors get ready to give an i'm
patient public the information.

THE situation in the vicinity of Union
town and Scottdale, Pennsylvania,
among the striking coal miners and coke
operatives, is decidedly serious. A
pitched battle occurred yesterday be-
tween the evicted strikers and the
county officials, when several fatalities
occurred, among which was the killing
OF a Hungarian girl by her lovers side.
Some pestiferous anarchist lecturers at
Scottdale are preaching the dynamite
and-death doctrine, and the probability
is that there will be more trouble today.
When Mr.. Harrison was elected presi-
dent, and Major Mckinley got his bill
passed, there were promises of good
wages to workingmen and an increased
demand for labor, because of the won.
derful impetus that was to be given tc
manufactures. The dispatches from
the coal regions referred to above form 6
sardonically sad comment on the admin
istration's position regarding the indus
trial situation.

A S3, 100000 Lawsuit.

TRENTON, N. j., April PA declara-

States circuit court, in $3,000,000 suit
for damages, in breach of contract,
brought by Jewett against Robert Gar
rett, Henry Frick and Latrobe.
BALTIMORE, April 2.-Ex-Mayor
Latrobe says of the Jewett suit, that
eight or ten years ago Garrett had the
Atlantic cable company incorporated by
an act of congress, and owing TO La
trobe's position as mayor of Baltimore,
he was named as one of the incorporat-
ors. The cable company never came to
anything. and Latrobe was at loss to
know the basis OF the suit.

WHOSE ADMINISTRATIONS

The national convention of Repub-
lican clubs, at Cincinnati adjourned
yesterday without taking action on the
insult offered President Harrison by ex-
Governor Foraker OF Ohio in his speech
before the convention, in which he
made the statement that Games G..
Blaine is giving us a magnificent
administration. The Hoosier delegates
took this as a designed affront
to the little man from Indiana, who is
supposed to be administering the ma
tional government, Notwithstanding the
fact that the tattooed giant from Maine
poses as the power behind the throne.
For few moments there was a lively
row in the convention over the Incl
dent, but the wrath of the Hoos-
iers was appeased by the promise
that the committee on resolutions
should take cognizance of the matter.
1t appears, however, that the committee
in its report failed to determine whose
administration it really is.
Apropos of the great bluster about
Jingo's vigorous foreign policy, and the
stringent immigration laws the Republi-
can press and orators have been advocat-
ing since the trouble with Italy began,
it is in nteresting to note that this same
convention of Republican clubs, in
adopting a platform OF principles, made
a square back-down on the immigration
question. The plank formulated by the
resolutions committee took bold enough
stand, but as soon as threats were made
about the secession of the foreign vote,
the radical language was expunged from
the resolution, leaving it so that it calls
for no reform in the present law.

A st. Louis Editor Takes Up Phoebe

CHICAGO, April 22.-Editor Jones, oi
the St. Louis Republic, one of the ma.
tional commissioners from Missouri, and
chairman of the finance committee, in

ury Foster, has taken sides with Phoebe

THAT mixture of dudeism and
Socialism named Henry G. Will
shire, whose erratic career in

now it,. If the Alliance men were to re-
taliate by telling Mr.. Wiltshire what he

A POOR EXPLANATION.

Secretary of the Navy Tracy explains
why Commander Reiter of the navy,
who was dismissed from his command
of the steamer Ranger after the Bar
rundla incident, because, as then stated,
of his incapacity to understand his
duties, has been reinstated and placed
in command of the Thetis. The ex-
PLANTATION is that Captain Reiter is
particularly adapted for the scientific
work OF the photographic survey, in
which the Thetis is engaged, and that
the service requires his employment.
The secretary accentuates the fact that
the Thetis is not a war vessel and carries
no guns.
At the time that the navy is develop
ing into an important branch OF the
service, the employment of a man like
Reiter, who was adjudged incompetent,
looks very much as if that officer had a
strong "pull' in the naval department
This man caused the American flag to be
treated with contumely in Centra,
American waters, and was terribly
scored by the secretary and dismissed
because of that fact, but now he is pu
in command of another vessel. True i
is not war vessel, and he will MOI
again be forced to decide between the
alternatives of acting like true Ameri
can sailor or being disgraced, but his
unemployment cannot be well excused
If he did not know the duties of ar
American naval commander when thu
Barrundia affair occurred, his skill as
map maker does not entitle him to tn,
position of naval officer.

WHEAT fell a few points yesterday, but
there is nothing on which to base any
theory that it will go much lower. With
poor grain crops and deficient vintages
in Europe, the California farmer and
vigneron have reason to expect good
prices for their products.
