Fourth OF July.


What time our patriot fathers spoke
The oath on freedoms altar sworn,
To wear no more the tyrant's yoke.
This mighty nation then was born.
The thunder of that lofty VOW,
TO distant ages sounding loud,
Has shaken thrones, is shaking now
And shall yet shake till all are bowed.
The flag of freedom, then unfurled,
Was hailed by millions from afar-
The conqucring standard of the world.
Sublime alike in peace and war
II proudly floats on every sea,
Is hoMorc1 now on every shore:
1t whispers to TIL oppressed, "Bc free"
And kindles hopes unknown before.
God of our fathers, since thy hands
In bercIiction stretched above,
Eavc US advanced above all lands,
Knit us in amity and ioTe.
Let not this brotherhood of states,
Byvital bonds made firmly one,
Be cvcrrcni by hostile fatcs,
Or fratricidal rage undone.
But cmuious of things that make
The high example more complete
Teach nations how their chains TO break
And soar sublimely to thy feet.

Plumbers Ncsenr u JoKe.

At the first session of the national con-
vention of master plumbers, held in
Milwaukee recently, Major Middleton,
one of the delegates, before the session
opened hung some decorations on the
wall rejecting in Joking, pointed man
ner on what he seemed to consider the
weakness of his trade. Two of the dec
orations were illustrated verses satiriz-
ing the plumber. One showed in water
colors upon large piece of canvas a
plumber in house dividing his time be-
tween his job and the hired girl, the title
of which was "The Giddy Plumber" I"
The other showed the plumber after he
had been kicked out of the house. I'm
der the gallery in the rear Of the hall
was the third decoration in the form of
plumbers bill for work, purporting to
show the exorbitant charges master
plumbers make.
Just before the adjournment of the
forenoon session Delegate Weldon OF
PittsburS drew the attention of the con-
vention to these features. In bitter terms
he denounced them and said they would
have to be taken down or he would re-
fuse to sit in the hall THAT picture,
he said. pointing to "The Giddy Plumb
er," is q libelous outrage on this associa
ton, and will not tolerate it. The in
tent of the placard in the rear of the hal
is to slur the honesty of master plumb
ers and is out of place here. demand
Mr.. President. that these decorations bt
removed"
Exclamations of approval were heart
on every side, and Immediately after ad
journment the pieces Of canvas were
hauled ddown.-Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean

narr1s, an uncle of the ooy, and Detect
i've Thomas Jetfers of the New London
police force came to this city on Satur-
day to claim the reward in behalf of the
boy. They were notified that the reward
would only be paid to John in person,
and they telegraphed accordingly.
John, accompanied by his mother and
sister, came to the city and went direct
to the store of Tiffany & Co. a few
minutes after their arrival Mrs. Johnson,
accompanied by her son, reached the
store, and in the presence Of several wit
nesses tho fortunate little fellow was
paid the reward.-New York Telegram.

The Russian Heir to Marry.

The czarowitz, the heir of all the Rus
sias, is betrothed to the Princess Alice of
Hesse-Darmstadt, the youngest daughter
of the Princess Alice of Great Britain
and granddaughter Of Queen Victoria
The young lady is just 81, and though
her father, who died last year, was not
much o. man her mother will be re-
membered as the princess who died from
diphtheria communicated by kissing her
sick child. When the eldest daughter
Of this family was married, the queen
and the Prince of Wales went over to
Germany to attend the wedding. The
Festivities were magnificent. The Grand
Duke of Hesse-D -Darmstadt chose that
time to take refuge in distant corner
of his palace and contract a morganatic
marriage with Russian noblewoman.
The czarowitz is 25 and he is the
young man who was nearly murdered
in Japan about year ago, owing his
life to the ready sword of his cousin,
George of Greece. Besides being heir to
the throne of Russia, a prospective su-
preme head of the great Greek orthodox
church, the czarowitz is colonel of a
great many regiments and belongs to
several military staffs. Nicholas-Alex-
androvitch he was christened. He is a
cousin of Marie OF Edinburgh, who mar
ried Ferdinand of Roumania last Febru.

formerly had Il shop at 725 Washington
avenue North, has built, and now occu-
pies, boat in which he intends TO aoat
down the Mississippi as far as New Or

decked and covered with canvas. 1t has
two apartments, ono of which is neatly
papered, carpeted and furnished. This
room contains a folding bed, a bureau, a
center table, three chairs and pictures
The larger room contains work bench,
turning lathe. chest of tools, a trunk,
kitchen stove and numerous articles
used in the kitchen
The ship will set sail next week and
will probably not reach its destination
until late in the fall. Mr.. Besson will
ply his trade on the journey, stopping a
few days at each of the towns he comes
to. He expects to locate at New Orleans
if things are satisfactory, otherwise he
will go to Texas. He once made similar
trip down the Red River of the North
into Canada and knows what to expect.
From Minneapolis to New Orleans by
air line is nearly 1,500 miles. and the
Lord only knows how far it would be to
follow the river.-St. Paul Globe.
