CASUALTIES OF THE DAY.
Some Few Tried to Monkey With
the Big Cracker

oOInc rev Iffeu TO MONKEY with
the Big Cracker.
The day of patriotism and fireworks
and fires and accidents was unusually
non-productlve in the city yesterday.
The number of foolish boys who tried
to hold dynamite crackers between
their teeth while they exploded was nil.
One boy had his fingers badly Iacerated,
though. His name was Roy Brandon.
Ee is employed at the Bijou theater.
companions with frecrackers. He
worked the same old game-picked up
a big cracker after the fuse had been
burned off short, and after he supposed
1t had been QueHched. His fingers will
be tied up for several days.
Isaiah D0ugherty did about the same
thing. He is an old man about sixty
one years old and should have known
better. But he lives at Golden Valley.
He was going to startie tic family early
i'll the morning by setting off a big
cracker. He placed it all right but it
did not explode as lie thought it should.
he picked it up in the usual way to see
Wnat was the matter, and with tho
USUAL result. The cracker exploded III
his hand. He is minus hand now. 1t
ByrneS had to amputate it.
Alex ClOutier is son of Bernard
Cloatier. He is as good Democrat as
his father, but not so careful. The boy
has turn for mechanics. He amused
himself before the Fourth of July by
making Il wooden cannon. The first
charge he fired off in the cannon yes
terday split his miniature field piece
and his face was badly injured by the
splintcrs.
Joseph jacobson runs confectionery
store at no Hennepin avenue. OF course
ne keeps supply of fireworks. He
thought he would JOIN the celebration
yesterday. 1t was another case of
handling cannon cracker without
gloves. Joseph lost finger.
a. j. Rowan did it the night of the
Sd. He shattered his wrist and opened
some OF his veins by letting big crack
er explode too close to him.
The fire department was called upon
to respond to but few alarms None of
the little blazes that started in various
portions of the city amounted to any
thing.

Recipe for a Comic Opera

Get jngling. jangling tune, danseuse, and
buffoon, and an orchestra that muir
ders all it plays,
And q chorus of glory that is all ANTIQUE and
hoary, and you'll soon set up q show
that really pays.
Get heroine that's pretty, and steal what
you thinks witty from every blessed
opera that's known;
You need not feel compunctious, for in get
ting up these functions. q conscience is
thing one shouldn't own.
Let there be a feshly sally of sprightly
corps de ballet that used to win APP
plauSe III ancient Rome.
Get some puns that are SO fearful they make
people weak and fearful, till they have
to be removed and taken home.
Then get man half witted. who is really to
be pitied, and style him comedian on
the bill;
And write some love songs stupid, dragging
IN poor, lucaless cupid, and buy a lot of
costumes fiji to kill
When the structure is completed and the au-
dence is seated. you'll sit back and
count the sheckels at the door.
You'll know in your Utmost spirit many folk
will come to hear it, and after every
number yell for more.

SOMETHING OF A MIXTURE.
What Went on in Gales Grove, in

Gales grove. in North Minneapolis.
was one of the busiest spots in Mime
sofa yesterday. A man anxious to cele-
brate the ever glorious could get any
sort of game there. He could get
music, dancing, beer. gospel singing
and gospel preaching.
Jacob Schaefer Post, G. A. r.. set up
a little pavilion in the grove and did a
thriving business all day in refreshments
and dance tickets. The post does this
every Fourth of July and always de-
votes the receipts TO the relief fund of
the post.
Yesterday the post had rival in the
same line of business. The st. Joseph
Verein had stand of the same sort and
seemed to do good business. 1t is a
benevolent society and the proceeds
of the trade were converted to good
uses. The French Catholics did the
same and raked in number of good
sized Bland dollars.
a Norwegian congregation moved an
organ into the grove, located it on
commanding eminence, and dispensed
sacred music, both vocal and instru-
mental, all day long. Whenever the
choir needed rest, for it was a warm
day, the pastor OF the congregation
mounted the platform and expounded
the doctrine.
The pastor of the Church of Christ,
Twelfth avenue South and Seventh
street, was also in the grove. He, too,
had a little knoll all to himself He
busted himself in expounding the Cos
pei and intoxicating patriotism in the
ID -
listen TO him. 1t must be confessed
that the ministers had smaller audi
ences than the purveyors OF dance mu-
sic. The American young man and
young woman has but one real holiday,
if she or he works for living, and that
is the Fourth Of July. They are prone
10 spend that day in secular pleasures.

Lady Ensign both lost their feet on the

that nothing could beat. Alice Dawn
was second to the quarter. then gave
way to Odessa. Jim fourth. Into the
stretch Jim began to trot, and there was
a pretty race for second and third.
Odessa tried to sneak up along the outer
rail, but Dawn and Jim were both too
strong. the former getting second. Jim
came fast along the pole and secured q
close third. Robin logged home ahead
easily, almost stopping at the wire. in

In the third heat the odds were to 5
against Alice Dawn and to against
Robin, a '.cinch" book. Tiresome scor-
ing preceded the sendOff, but the heat
was hot. Robin took the lead, closely
pushed by Alice Dawn. Jim went up.
Odessa moved up to second and jim to
third OIL the back stretch. Alice broke
badly a couple of times. but went up to
third on the lower turn, Jim losing on a
break. Jim came down the stretch
strong, but broke again at the distance

to steal up along the outer rail. She

What Cleveland Represents.

1OrR GaZetto.
What was it that made Mr.. Cleveland
seem the natural candidate to turn to
for every delegate that found the NOM
ination of ''favorite SOM impossible?
What has so endeared him to the party
led by him to defeat four years ago?
What has given him in his private sta
ton his unapproachable popularity,
while other statesmen, sound and tried
Democrats, have been at the front, in
position to take advantage of every new
opportunity for Observation-Disclosures an
office in his gift, with all the Oblouuy
cast on his former administration by
those who failed'to get Office yet unre-
moved, without amy superficial graces
of fine presence, ready wit and courtIy
demeanor? Those who teach that dem
ocracles are tickle. and especially those
who delight in ventilating pleasing fic-
tons about the "unappeasable hunger
for spoilS" and ''hunger for free siIver''
which they affect to find in our party,
should ponder we'll. Is there any es-
cape from the conclusion that Cleveland
has the standing he has because he pre-
eminently represents private and public
integrity? Defeat easily kills the mere
self-seeker; the man sustaining and sus-
tanned by principle rises from it un-
Scathed.

KANSAS DEMOCRATS.
A Division of Sentiment as to
Fusion.


Topeka. Kan, July 1.-The result of
Democratic county conventions held
throughout the state to elect delegates
to the Democratic state convention.
which meets here Wednesday, show
that there is great diversity of
opinion. There are three classes. One
favors the Endorsement of the entire
Peoples party state ticket, another
favoring the nomination of straight
Democrats only. and the third adyo-
eating the nomination of such of the
Peoples party candidates as are accept
able to Democrats.
Ole point, however, the Democrats
are pretty we'll agreed upon, and that is
that the Peoples party electoral ticket
should receive the united support of the
Democratic party, that Kansas may he
taken out of the Republican column
and the election of president thrown
into the house.
There are no avowed candidates for
any of the places on the Democratic
ticket outside of the nominees of the
Peoples party. If the anti-fusionists
should win, it is probable that David
-Overmyer will be nominated for con-
gresham at large. More interest is at
tached to this convention than to any
ever held by the Democrats In Kansas,
for on its action will depend the out
come OF the campaign in this state.

A DEFECTIVE CAPITOL.
The New Kansas State House Is
y a Bad Botch.

= Topeka. Kan, July 4.-The new
Kansas state house, not yet completed,is
in danger of falling down owing to poor
material used. There has been expend-
ed on this building nearly s., 250. 600,
and 1t is not yet completed. The dome,
upon which $25O,OOO has been spent, is
finally enclosed, and is in daily danger
OF falling because of the great weight of
stone placed in it, Kansas stone being
used in accordance with the order of
the legislature. Near the bottom of the
dome are more than twenty huge stones
that have already been split and par
TALLY crushed by the great weight
above, and other stones are discovered
that are yielding.
The state board of public works, sup
posed to be cOnversant with all that per-
tains to the new building. is apparently
in Ignorance of the danger, as no steps
have been taken to avert it. Two MEM
bers of the board of three are incompe-
tent and understand nothing about
building. The result of all this incom-
petence and disregard of law will he a
loss to the state of more than $500, 600,
If, indeed, a number of lives are not
lost through the result sure to follow
within very few years.

THE SEIZED sEALER.
Steps to Be Taken TO Secure Her
Release.


VICTORIA. B. c.. July 4.-The Seal
ers' Association of British Columbia has
received lengthy dispatch from Otta-
wa stating that the matter of the seiZ-
ure of the British steamer Coquitlan at
Port Etches had been placed in the
governor-general's hands, and that i'm
mediate steps were to be taken to have
the vessel released. The Sealers' asso-
citation wish it understood that the
seizure took place in the North Pacific
ocean, and not in Behring sea, and can
therefore have no bearing OH the mOdus
vivendi,
From all accounts the Coquitlan has
no case against the United States. She
did not enter Port EtcheS harbor until
after sending some one to reconnoiter.
and when she found no United States
warship there she steamed in. While
in the harbOr on June %. the small
United States mail steamer Elsie came
in with mail for sealers. Concealed on
board, or at least disguised, was an Off
Ger of the United States revenue
cruiser Corwln, and no sooner had the
Elsie left the harbor than the Corwin
came in, steamed up to the Coquitlan
and put Second Lieut. Quinlan on
board.
The officer informed Capt. Mcclellan
that his vessel was seized and sent the
Coqutlan's books, papers. ETC.. on
board the COrwin. Quinan was put on
board with prize crew of six, and or
dered the Coquitlan's crew to get steam
up and sail for Sitka. Some slight acct
dent to the machinery caused short
delay, when Capt. Hooper, of the Cor
win, sent word on board: "'lf you don't
leave the harbOr within an hour, we
will dismantle you"
United States Consul Myers, of VIC
toria, says: 1.-The case is similar to the
seizure of the tug Mogul four years ago.
The seizure Of the Coquitlan is simply
the result of an infraction of the reve-
nue. rules and has no international sig
nificance. The law requires that vessels
must report at the first port of entry,
and hence the Coquitlan should have
put in at Sitka and had her papers in
spected."

rod, Foraker, Alger and other points A
number of persons were injured. Big
trees were twisted from their roots and
carried great distances, and the building

THE OLD MALADY.

Gen. Alger has talke? Il few lines to
a Detroit paper Of his visit to Mr..
Blaine. What he said was not par
ticuiarly new or important, but the
way he said it is brimful of sugges-
tlnns. Gen. Alger said:
"Mr. Blaine SAID nothing to me that
would furnish any indication as to
whether he will be candidate for
the Presidency or not. My impression
is that Mr.. Blaine would be glad to
be relieved from the responsibility of
his being q candidate, but if the Min
neapolis convention shall demand
that he accept the nomination l be-
lieve he is too patriotic to refuse"
So do we. In fact, we know he is,
and we have large piece Of history
at hand to prove it,
The United States has no more
patriotic son than Hon. James Gil
lespie Blaine when it. comes to the
point of throwing down everything
and running for Office. He then gets
a Sunol gait on himself and his driver
loses all control over him. Sometimes
his patriotism gets SO everlastingly
strong that the public cteps in and re-
strains it from going too far. Then it
is that he essays to quiet his feelings
by eating dozen or so terrapin and
calling in physician who is an ex-
pert in cases demanding the bulletin
treatment.
We feel certain that Gen. Alger has
given the world bright and price
less gem of truth, and we sincerely
hope that his visits to Washington
may be many from now until conven-
ton week.-IChicago Globe.
