HAPPY CHILDREN.
Yesterdays Children's Festival of the
German Lutheran school.

Yesterdays Children's Festival of the
German Lutheran school.
There was a large attendance at the
grand annual children's festival at Oak
Park yesterday, under the auspices of the
German Evangelical Lutheran Church. q
The children met at the church, Twelfth
and X, at A. NJ, and the pastor and
teachers, with the children, proceeded to
the park by the electric cars, leaving at
10 o'clock, a crowd of over 100 pupils
going from the church, and the band was
Joined by large number coming later
with their parents. In all, there were
fully $50 children and large number OF
parents and guardians.
One of the main features of the day was
the May Queen. Miss Laura Wahl was
chosen by the children of the Sunday
school, and reigned with very pleasant
and becoming dignity, and, surrounded
by her Maids of Honor, presented very
pretty picture.
A number of the young Misses par
ticipated in a Quaker d'il4. and pleased
the observers greatly.
The Quaker drill was followed by a
parasol drill, very unique, interesting
and pretty exercise. The young ladies
went through some very difficult steps,
keeping time to the music of the piano
played by Mrs. kunigk. Mrs. Kunigk
and sister, Mrs. Dosh, deserve credit for
the good training of their pupils, who
performed so admirably.
After the foregoing exercises came the
races.
The teachers race was won by Mrs.
Gerber.
The ladies' egg race was won by Miss
Clara Fuchs.
The boys egg race was won by Master
Nehrbass.
Another boys race was won by Master
Mathhauer, and the gentlemen's race was
won by Fred Kaiser.
These and number ofo other races were
run for valuable prizes, which were
awarded to the winners.
The ladies of the church and the trustees
managed the refreshment stands, which
were largely and heartily patronized.
The popular pastor, DIR. Chas. f. Och
ler, who was present, took great interest
In the welfare and happiness of the young
people, and spared no efforts to make the
occasion an enjoyable one to all present.
The festival was departure from the
ordinary picnic, and the programme OF
exercises an original one in many re-
spects.
There was no disorder upon the grounds
throughout the day, and the occasion
passed off to the satisfaction of all, the
children being especially delighted.

Tests Are to be Made Of the Powerful Gun
Invented by Gen. Hurst.
WASHINGTON, May 7.-Senator Teller
has proposed an amendment to the naval
appropriation bill, appropriating $4,000
to enable the secretary of the navy to
have constructed one eight-inch, fifty
calibre steel rife, wire wrapped and built
up and hooped, and firing high explo-
sfve projectile Of great velocity.
In order to test the gun, which will be
something of departure In the way OF
rifed guns of large calibre, the secretary
is aut horized to use the $4,000 appropri-
ated in March 1889, for testing guns for
secondary batteries. The amendment
stipulates, however, that no part OF the
money shall be expended until the own
ers of the patent OF the gun agreee to
construct Il exclusively fort govern
ment.
The gun is known as the Hurst high
explosive S-inch rife. 1t will fire the
Hawley projectile, which will be filled
with dynamite gun cotton or some other
high explosive. The gun will have, 1t is
said, a range greater than that OF any
other gun OF similar calibre constructed
in this or any other country. The invent
ors were both distinguished soldiers in
the late war, Gen. Hawley wearing the
blue from Connecticut and Gen. Hurst
the gray from Mississippi.

QUINCY, Mass, May 7.-Considerable
excitement prevails in this city over tho
threat Of the lockout of the granite
workers on May IA, unless some settle
msnt 10 made before that time. Both
workmen and manufacturers are anxious
that the AFFAIR shall be settled, as 1t
would be a serious blow to both and to
the city In general.
AT present some of the manufacturers
have considerable work on hand to
dnish and are receiving orders every day,
which they cannot accept owing to the
unsettled state OF affairs.
Business was on the boom and II looked
O. though the coming summer would be
. prospsxous one. Yesterday and today
large numbers of quarrymen left for
other places where they have secured en-
ployment. A few OF the quarry owners
had hired men to work on their quarries,
but the former received notices from the
manufacturers' association ordering
their discharge.
Next week the cutters will begin to An
ish the stone they are engaged upon and
they will be discharged as soon as they
finish. It was voted in the granite cut
ters meeting to fine any member who
worked before May IL in order to hurry
any work, the sum of e25.
Every body was surprised at the action
taken by the New England Manufactrr-
ers' Association in regard to the general
lockout. Under the arrangements mt
present existing between the cutters and
manufacturers In this city, no lockout or
strike was to be declared unless three
months notice was given by either party.
The men claim that the manufacturers
are breaking their part of the contract IL
they discharge the men on Saturday OF
next week. Probably before that date
some satisfactory settlement may be
made.
