From several good citizens who are really not
unreasonable in very many respects comes q
demand for a quiet Fourth Of July. for day
Of patriotic celebration in which the torpedo
and the frecracker and the toy pistol and the
cannon shall have no part, a national anniver-
sary from which the American small boy is
excluded. 1t may be that a century or two
hence the love of gunpowder and Of the day on
which it is so literally exploded will not be as
prominent as it now is, but for the present
there will be great uproar. That the racket is
annoying to many is evident, but the only
remedy open to those who dislike it is tenn
porary migration to some secluded SPOT where
the youth and the punk and the cracker are
not. OF course, it would be possible to arrest
every one who disturbed the peace Of the Dis
trict, but the doing Of it would call for the
combined efforts of the police, posse conf
tatus several thousand strong, the National
Guard and the troops at Fort Myer and the
Washington Barracks; for popular sentiment
would be with the lawbreakers. An overwhelm-
ing majority of the American people favor the
loudest possible celebration Of the birth Of the
Declaration Of Independence. and in that mat
ter the appeal Of the minority for recognition
Of its rights is drowned by gigantic waves Of
sound

1869, and during his long athletic career never

encounter with the idea that he didn't know

true sportsman, who would not under
any circumstances shoot q sitting bird;
the spirit he displays should be appre-
clated and commended. That strife must
come in certain. Some venturesome or careless
cest and then the country will stand on tiptoe
and hold its breath until the dust settles and
the coroner certifies to the cause Of death. Who
will be first among the victims may not now be
prophesied; perhaps the classic and constitu-
tonal Bailey, the satirical Allen, the economical
Dockery, the agile Springer, or even the patri-
archal Holman himself, but that a victim will
be found seems sure. And when peace sue

TOLEDO, O., Jan. 13.-Clav Hopper, the
young man whose case of suspended ami
nation has attracted so much attention
died for the second time this morning. Life
passed away before daylight. but the par
ents were not notified until noon. The
body was rapidly decomposing having
commenced to decay two days ago. Under
taker Bennett was again called, and for
the second time he prepared the body for
burial. Rev. 3. ID. Huntsonpllier again
conducted the funeral services, and the
body was taken 10 Woodiawn Cemetery
where q grave has been waiting TO receive

The case has been the wonder OF the city

STOLE AWAY FROM NEW YORK.
The Cleveland Family Now at Lakewood
Where Politicians Must Not Go.

LAKEWOOD, n. j., Jan. 13.-President-
elect Cleveland left New York at $40 p. NJ.
and arrived here at $40. Mr.. Cleveland
was accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland. baby
Ruth and Mrs. Francis p. Freeman, of this
place, an intimate friend of the family.
Quite number of the cottagers and hotel
guests had assembled at the station
to greet the family. After speaking to
some of his acquaintances. Mr.. Cleveland,
in company with Park Commissioner
Nathan Strauss. started for the private car
riage that awaited them. Alongside the
carriage stood Mr.. Freeman's slei gh.
IF you prefer taking ride in the Sleigh"
said Mr.. Freeman. Il will be pleased to
send yOu over"
Mr.. Cleveland looked around to Mrs
Cleveland. Before he could ask which she
preferred she had replied to Mr.. Freeman's
invitation by saving that sleigh riding at
Lakewood was not to be had every day.
and that the best thing to be done was to
take advantage of it while it lasted.
That IS good idea," replied Mr.. Cleve-
land. The nurse and the baby were put
into the carriage and Mr.. and Mrs Cleve-
land got into the sleigh.
The Cleveland family, in leaving New
York, endeayored to attract as little at
tention as possible. and for that reason
lett by different ferry. The first to make
the trip across the river was the nurse and
Miss Ruth, Mrs. Cleveland following on
the next boat. Mr.. Cleveland. in company
with Mr.. Freeman, came across last on the
$40 boat. The party had seats In the reg
ular pariOr car. although private one was
offered them. From the railroad station
the family was taken to the Lakewood
Hotel cottage. where every thing was in
readiness for them. the servants having
preceded the family by several hours.
Mr.. Cleveland said that he had come to
Lakewood for quiet and rest, and that he
would not be bothered with politicians.
All mail matter sent him here, he said,
would be re-addressed to his New York Of
fee. which he would visit about TWO or
three times week.
Up to 3 O'clock the only caller at the cot
tage was Mr. Strauss. who called to see
that everything was comfortable. The
cottage is but q stones throw from the
Lakewood Hotel. which. in all probability.
will be the headquarters for all visiting
politicians that persist in intruding upon
the family while here.

There certainly was not" he said. Il

that the notes held by III. IL.

not due tor some time TO come. bnt sup-
