Of these scenes Mr.. Ingraham gave an
entertaining description, especially of
the convent of La Rabida. In conclu-

Ats pm. the police force was reviewed
by His Honor Mayor Ingraham. A few
moments prior to this hour the entire

People in City Hall-Addresses by
Mayor Ingraham. Bishop Healy, Hon.
A. f. Moulton and Rev. Matt S.
Hughes.
1t is pity that Christopher Columbus
could not have been in this town last
evening and obtained realizing sense of
the potentialities of his discoveries.
Every inhabitant seemed to seize the oc-
casion to celebrate, and the two great at
fractions, the parade and the speaking,
were literally attended. The parade
was excellent, being one of the best
arrays of torches ever seen in the city.
The various campaign companies
formed in Monument Square, and at 8
o'clock the procession started and moved
over the prescribed line of march.
First came cavalcade of mounted
horsemen, 80 in number, under COM
mand of Capt. r. FL. Berry. Then came
platoon of police under command of
Sergeant Ed. Heath, next the American
Cadet Band and Col. T. III. Gately and
staff. The regular campaign companies
came next, as follows:
Cleveland Maintopmen, Capt. j. O'Neil, 4s
men,
Drum Corps and Cleveland Guards. Capt Car
lin, so men.
Longshoremen'S Working Club, Capt. DeCoSta,
40 men.

In the absence of Col. Hartnett of the
Republican battalion, Mr.. John d. Prinda-
BILE acted as colonel with the following
staff: Captain Geo. W. Gilchrist, acting
lieutenant colonel; Lieut.. Charles San
born, adjutant; Lieut.. Freeman, aid.
Many residences along the line of
march were illuminated in various ways
and the American flag was everywhere.
Colored fires were burned here and there
and much enthusiasm was shown. The
qgongs in the various engine houses were
rung, and the city side OF City Building,
was ablaze with light.
In City Hall
there was early gathered an immense
throng. Over an hour before the speak
ing began the hall was full and overflow
ing, and the crowds that continued to
pour in did little more than jostle one
another in the doorways and corridors
without getting into the hall.
1t was considerably past s o'clock
when the Mayor, city government, ora
tors of the evening and prominent citi-
zens marched onto the stage. Among
them were Judge Nathan Webb, George
M. Seiders, NJ P. Frank, G. NJ. Donham,
IS. Locke, George Thomas, c. A

places.

Notwithstanding the fact that head
winds and bad roads hindered the flyers,
the time was brought down to the sur

Northwest Fisheries.

To preserve the salmon industry of the

important because it is the only fishery
of North Pacific waters that is ever likely
to be of much commercial value. That
vast expanse of ocean, inclusive of Bering
Sen, is full of cod and halibut, but they
are net found punched in great schools

AFTER THE cows.

the pasture reached to the bleak uplands
where the sugar NAPLES stood
Firmly rooted amid the rocks, at the edge of
the great pine wood;
The brook from the spring In the forest
leaped downward in clouds Of spray,
And the tall ferns dropped and nodded their
heads above the howlders gray.
The hush OF the summer evening fell, restful
and cool and damp;
The FREELY in the buttercup meadows lighted
his ghostly lamp;
And high in the fare of the sunset climbed
up the dome of the blue.
AS three little children went after the cows
barefooted through the dew.
The whippoorwill sang in the alders that
fringed the bank OF the stream:
And, like the mystical music one hears in q
beautiful dream,
Dhe tinkle of cow-belIs blended with the
ripping waters below,
And the full red moon in the shadowy east
on the horizon hung low.
The air was sweet with the clover bloom from
the banqueting -grounds Of the bees.
And the woodsy scent of the moses that hid
in the shade OF the trees;
The cow-path wound through the hemlocks
and round the high lodges curled,
Where, gazing out through the distance, we
saw to the ends OF the world!
We called the COWS through the gloaming-
Ruby, and Bessie, ami Floss,
Cherry, and NJ ,lly. and Dimple, and Bounce
Co boss! co. boss! CO., boss"
And down the path through the clearing they
thundered, and trampled, and roarej,
With their believing heads borne high aloft
as they galloped to reach the ford.
Knee-deep in the gurgling water they
crowded and pushed as they drank;
They reared and hooked at each other as
they climbed the slippery bank;
They plunged their heads in the clematis as
it hung in its tangled net.
And tossei on their horns the eel grass, SO
snaky and green and wet.
Three little children followed them close, all
fearless and happy and free.
Holding the tanned brown hands of each
other-three little children, three,
Through tie soft cool damp of the shadows
and under the light Of the stars,
Driving the cows with their tinkling bells
home to the barnyard bars.

Origin of the Term Hoosler.

During the opening OF the Louisville
and Portland Canal by the General Gov
eminent, there were K~entuckians, Indi-
anians, and many from the SCREEN Isle"
who worked on the canal. Drinking
and fighting, especially Saturdays, were
common. Men used no weapons then,
and the man who even attempt to draw
a weapon was branded as a coward.
There were three brothers from Indiana
named Short, who were giants in
strength. The hero of our story was
named Aaron, six feet tall, weight 200
pounds, with no surplus flesh. a perfect
athlete, and, as there were no rules by
which they were governed in fighting he
was protected below the pit of the
stomach with a heavy leather girdle
which he wore under his clothes.
One Saturday afternoon there seemed
to be a general engagement all along the
line. The hero of our story was attracted
by a large ring formed around some SOM
batants, among whom were some of his
friends. When he attempted to force
his way into the ring the men were 8
denseIy packed that he could not enter.
By the assistance of some friends on the
outside he was raised to the shoulders of
the crowd and crawled over and jumped
down among the combatants. He had
not much more than Strengthened himself
UP before lie met an antagonist worthy
of his steel. Suffice it to say that before
he put on his coat he had whipped five
men and jumped up and cracked his feet
together three times and swore that he
was a .'husher.n This same Short. while
on a visit in Morgan County to see his
relatives, sent word to Jake Payton that
he would be in Mooresville on a certain
day, but Mr.. Payton did not come.
Jumping and hopping were very common
in that day. Mr.. Short could jump on a
level thirty-six feet at three jumps and
turn around and jump back to the place
of beginning.
These are substantially the facts about
the origin of ttHoosler," or tsHusher."
The CINCINNATI papers discussed this
question very fully before tie var. and
while they did no July agree as to the
hero, they all asreed as to the place
