At the regular meeting OF the LaDOr

ported for conducting the exercises on

| the organization making the best appear
ance on that day. 1t was also decided to
ask the board of education to defer the
opening of school one day SO as 20 allow
the children to take part in the festivi-
ties. They also request all
factories to close on that
day, and an invitation is extended
to the farmers to take part in the parade.
Mayor McConochie has been selected
to deliver the address Of welcome and
Thomas j. Morgan Of Chicago will
speak on labor institutions and organs

has also been selected to make an ad-
dress in the German language. Thc
mayor, city council aud police and fire
departments have also been invited TO
turn out with the parade, which will
start as soon after o'clock as possible.
Many of the business men snd factories
have signified their intention of taking
part in the parade, and all others that
can are respectfully requested to do the
same SO as to swell the numbers. and
all are requested TO be on
hand at 8 o'clock. The line of march
will be as follows: Forming at Fourth

FOURTEEN COLUMNS OF SONG.
Tho Longest Message Ever Sent by Any
Cable.

Tho Longest Message Ever Sent by ANY
Cable.
In December, 1877. the whole of Swim
burne's tragedy, "Lochrinc, was cablcd
from London to the New York Times.
An enterprising American firm offered
an early copy of proofs of "Lochrinc"
to the editor of the New York Times for
one hundred dollars, with the stipula-
ton that the tragedy should not be pub
lished till the morning of December 10.
Unfortunately, the editor was away,
and when he got back he found that the
proofs had already been disposed of to
the New York Sun. The editor at once
wired his representative in London ask
ing him to get some early sheets of
"Lochrinc" and cable them through.
This was done, and on the morning
of December II, 1887, the New York
Times came out with, fourteen columns
of eighteen thousand words, containing
the whole of Swinburnc's tragedy, lust
two days before the Sun, which had all
the matter in type and ready to print
off. The editor paid one thousand two
hundred and fifty dollars down for the
use of the cable for five hours, and thus
obtained "Lochrinc." Six columns were
cablcd from Now York to the Standard
with description of the assassination
of President Lincoln in 1881.
The longest telegram ever dispatched
was the entire New Testament as re-
vised, which was photographed from New
York to the Chicago Tribune, to be set
up as news. for their issue of May %,
1882. Sixteen of the twenty pages of
that issue were filled by the New Tesla

Smelling Contests.

The young people of Lewiston, Me-,
have new scheme for entertainment.
AT gathering the other night smell
ing contest was the thing that made
the most fun, according to the Lewiston
Journal. There had been obtained
from local druggist eight bottles con-
tanning as many different liquids OF
different odors, all common but one,
and each numbered on the corlSs. The
game was to smell of these and identify
them and write the decision opposite
numbers. on card. Now it is n we'll
known fact to those who have studied
the matter that the sense of smell Is
the most deceptive of all the senses, for
the reason that after smelling of three
things in quick succession the nose re-
fuses to do duty with most people, and
beyond that everything is mixed and
confused. A young lady and gentle
man each identified seven out of
eight of them; nine more identified all
but two. But generally the things
written down were wide of the mark.
Bisulphide of carbon-the only uncom-
mon onc-provcd sticlSers 1t was
written down as extract of onions, oil of
birthstone. laudanum, boiled cabbage,
and white rose. The contest was the
funniest kind of fun.

Must Come to an End There.
"Sooncr or later hereditary monarchy
is bound to come to an end in the Ha-
waiian islands," said DR.. Mott Smith,
minister Of finance of that country, to n
Washington Post reporter 1.-The people
realize that, and the feeling there is
that annexation to the United States is
contamination to be desired. The
English commissioner told me in a
laughing way not long since that his
son, mere lad, was an en- thusiastic an
nexationist. British influence or domin-
alton, SO far as the islands are concerned,
is the veriest bugaboo.
"The present government is stable
enough. The queen is n we'll balanced
woman with plenty of common sense,
who is willing to defer in matters of
state to the counsels of her cabinet. In
that she displays much better Judgment
than King Kalallara, who was con-

has received q severe blow, owing to
the admission. Of that product into tho

Field of the Cloth of Gold.

Field of the cloth of gold was so
called from the extravaganza and dis
play attendant upon II meeting of
Henry Will, of England, and Francis
L., of France, in June, 1880. The kings
met in the field near the small town of
Andres, in France, which was owned by
England, and the meeting was held by
the request of Francis l., who desired
to gain the friendship of Henry to aid
him in his projects for curbing the
power Of his great rival, Charles ", of
Germany. The ceremonial was under
the direction of Cardinal Wolscy, and
the noblemen of Franco and England
wed with each other in the gorgeous
decoration of themselves, their banners
and tents.

AN MIGRATE BIRD.
Though His LILO Was Spared, He Took
Revenge on His Benofactor.

hetcngS on Ills BenofRctOr.
Years ago found in my garden a
nest of the shrilse. Tho young
birds, four or five in number, were near
ly flcdged Having heard great deal
of the predatory habits of tho tribe, 1
was going to wiring their neclss had
put them on u hedge, and they sat quite
still, but looked SO proud and self-pos-
scssed, and the dark glittcring eyes that
were bent upon INC with an expression
of indignant surprise said so plainly:
"llavc we not as good q right to live rs
you?" that my conscience smotc me,
and could not find it in my heart to
kill them.
walked away to call my daughter,
says IL writer in the New York Journal,
and show them to her, but when came
back they were gone. One morning
next year was in the garden looking
at my roses when l felt something hit
the back of my head. Turning round,
not little startled, saw n bird flying
up to the top of high tree.
When it had got there it said ''CheclS!"
Very soon after it came down again,
tapped it's wings against my head, as it
had done before, flew up to an opposite
WY, sihNi fCpCdlcu us 'OneCK! AT the
first glance / had seen that it was a
1anius.
Since then and for several days could
never show myself barehcadcd in the
garden in the morning without being
assaulted or saluted in the same man
ner, and soon got quito accustomed to
it. When my head happened TO be COW
cred was left alone, and neither my
gardener nor any other frequenter was
attacked.
1t was clear that the bird must have
been either one of the nestlings of the
preceding year or one of their parents.
and that it remembered me probably as
the disturbcr of it's peace, not with any
feeling of gratitude for having spared a
life might have taken but had not,
for it evidently hit me as hard as
it could, and there was an un mistakable
sound of satisfied revenge in its cry.
