llBILLEE TAYLORv NEXT.
The New York Opera Will Remain
Another Week ut Harriet.

The New York Comic Opera company
will remain at Lake Harriet during all
of next week. 1t was quite evident
after the first performance given at
Harriet by that excellent musical or
ganiZation, that not only had it made
hit, but that Harriet's patrons de-
sire the company to remain. Next
Monday evening it will present in
thoroughly complete manner, the most
charming opera in it's repertoire, and
the greatest success given by it, name
ly, "Billee Taylor" a nautical comic
opera in two acts. The libretto of this
delightful composition is by H. P. Ste
venS5, and the music by the gifted, but
somewhat eccentric ex-husband of Miss
Lillian Russell, Edward Solomon.
In addition to the appearance of the
New York Opera company upon that
occasion the regular vaudeville feat
ures that were engaged many weeks
ago, will necessarily have to be util-
lied in some manner. This combina-
ton will make it the most eX-
pensive bill that has ever been offered
at that charming out-of-door place of
amusement. Princess Dolgorouky, the
violinist, who has been the sensation of
both continents, will appear, as will
also the three Marvelles, grotesque ac-
robats, and a group of Russian sing
ers and instrumentalistS. The big fire
mems benefit will take place at Harriet

place this sport on a higher plane to
have people turn out this way and show
their appreciation of our efforts. We
had the biggest Fourth Of July crowd,
by several thousands, that we ever had,

The horsemen who have brought here

say they will come again next year.

horses of that kind. and we have. never
before had with US such men as Mr..

day from the effects of in
Juries received at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning by the explosion of a toy cam

1.-THE young man with several compan-
1nnstwere celebrating the Fourth in the
yard lin the rear of the Meyer resi-
dsnce. They had fired the cannon sew
eradgtimes and had just put inSanother
heavy charge and young Meyer touched
HHoffy when it exploded with a terrific
nBse; Meyer fell to the ground I'M
conscious, with blood pouring from
an cimense cash in his right side near
the fifth rib. Doctors Williams, Kicker
aaddWilcoX were hurriedly summoned
and probed for the iron which had en-
tered into the boys body, and eventual
lE with dentists tweezers brought out
thefjron, which was 31a inches long by
" inches wide and half an inch thick.
Both Meyer and his father were en-
ployed by the street railway company
at its Thirty-first street power house.
He was also a former Times carrier,
his route being Nicollet avenue west
and Twenty-ninth street south. The
Times readers in this territory will
mourn the demise of such a promising
youth.

BIG DAY AT HARRIET.
Too Windy for the Balloon, but
10000 People Were There.

SO,OOO FeOple were IheEe.
The banner crowd of the day was at
Lake Harriet. 1t began coming soon
after dinner, when the street railway
put a two-minute schedule on TIenne-
pin avenue, and the pavilion was nearly
filled all afternoon with a shifting
crowd. DAMS band was in attend
ance, and the afternoon was otherwise
whiled with specialtieS, of which john
ME Williams, of the New York Opera,
furnished the hit. His performance
was in Chinese makeup, and he took
the character of a Chinaman who had
seen Hermann, and returned 10 show
his countrymen how the magician per-
formed his tricks. The balloon failed
to ascend, much to the disappoint-
ment of the afternoon crowd. The
wind was too high for a successful
ascension, and when it finally fell,
darkness had settled in, and it had to
be given up altogether. John q. Bell
and Johnnie Williams did their best
to retrieve the failure during -he per-
Torrance of "Olivette'' by initiating a
paper balloon with hot air on the stage,
sending 1t for a. perilouS flight over the
heads of the audience to the distant
hills.
AT s o'clock the crowd was an i'm
mense one, and 1t was estimated that
$1,000 people visited the pretty lake

WOODWARD is SAFE.
Minneapolis Ex-RepOrter of Gu
ban Fame Heard From.

Franc R. E. Woodward, the Mime
apolis reporter who, it is claimed, has
been through such exciting scenes in
Cuba. has at last been heard from
directly. He writes to his mother that
he expects to reach New York today.
A part of the letter Mrs. woodward
allows to be copied for publication is
as follows:
ION Board Steamship Ardandru,
Port of Cardenas, North Coast of
Cuba. June q, 1S95.-Dear Mother:
After many trials, dangers, illness, ac-
cidents, ETC., including a shot in the
arm, 1 am on board the British steam
ship Ardandru, bound for New York.
1 will be there about July 5, if all goes
WELL 1 will have some great stories to
write, and will write you a longer let
ter. Perhaps L may come home for a
trip We have only a few minutes to
any more. This will go to Havana
and will be posted there for New
York.
The last seemingly authentic ac-
count of Woodward's adventures was
a tale to the effect that he had been
arrested and immured in a dungeon,
With every prospect Oh speedy eXecu-
ton, or at least some dire punishment,
for having been concerned in the in
surrection. Immediately upon receiv-
mig this information, Woodward
friends began active measures for his
release. The state department at
Washington was communicated with,
and in a short time the machinery of
that department of the government
was set in motion and the authorities
of Cuba and Spain were told that the
American citizen whom they had i'm
prisoned was not to be treated in such
a summary manner as was reported
to be on the programme. The Mime
apolis Press CLUB took the initiative
in stirring up the matter and sent a
long petition to the secretary of state.

GREAT CARD TODAY.
Cracks VIII Attempt to Lower
Their Records.

Secretary Jones last night completed
arrangements with the Hamblins for a
great attraction at Minnehaha park to-
morrow, the closing day of the meet
ing. By this arrangement Hal Pointer
is to pace against his record, 2:0i15, and
Robert j will endeavor to pace a mile
in less than 2:G4, which is the fastest
time made this year. Each will make
the effort to win and be accompanied
by & running mate. Still another race
will be arranged. The three-mile race
between Fairywood, the winner of the
Monday Derby, and Hanson, the long
distance bicycle rider. Three miles is
Fairywood's distance, and as Hanson
is very speedy at any distance, it is
expected to be a remarkable contest.

Berlin Letter.
It is to DR.. Won Friedberg that En-
press Frederick of Germany is mainly
indebted for her husbands accession
to the throne and for the fact that she
is now an enormously wealthy dowager
empress instead of being merely u
widowed crown princess with pittance
in the shape of allowances from the
crown. There is statute in the
reigning family of Prussia which ex-
! cludes from succession TO the crown
any prince who may happen to be
afflicted with an incurable disease, such
as might necessitate the establishment
| of a regency.
/ Had King Otto, of Bavaria, been a
Prussian instead of Bavarian prince
he would have been passed over, in
stead of being permitted to ascend the
throne, as a lunatic, and the same is
| the case with regard to the elder
| brother of the present grand duke Of
Baden and with the reigning prince of
Lippe-Detmold. Prince Bismarck, who
regarded the consort of Unser Fritz as
his bitterest enemy, was anxious at all
costs to prevent her from becoming
empress, and / am sorry to say that in
this aim he received the cordial sup
port of the present emperor, of Gen.
Count IWaldersee, of Prince Radolin
and of many other prominent Germans.
The crown princess, as she was then,
had two firm friends, however, with
whose assistance she was able to
counteract the Vaccinations against
her husband. They were the physician,
Sir Morrell Mackenzie, who persis-
| tently denied that her husbands
malady was a malignant and incurable
cancer until he had safely succeeded to
| the throne, while the other was her
husbands legal adviser, an old Jewish
| lawyer of the name of Friedberg
The latter it was who drewiup the re-
markable state paper, or brief, for
Emperor Frederick, showing that the
+ statute of exclusion did not apply 10
him. Old Emperor William was so
much impressed by it's arguments that
he at once put an end to the plot
against his dying son. Old Dr. Fried
!, berg, who has just died. received as his
reward on Frederick's accession to the
throne the post of minister of justice
and the Order of the Black Eagle, be-
ing the first and only member of@shis
race to be thus honored.

a picnic there today. He saw a friend
of his getting the worst of it in fight
and went to his assistance. Just then
Constable Duval appeared and Bauer
tried to run away. Duval shot him
in the back, inflicting what is sup
posed to be a fatal wound. The crowd
became SO excited over the affair that
a rope was procured and they started
after the constable. The mob chased
him until he was lost in the darkness,
throwing at him every kind of missile
they could find. Several shots were
also fired at him and it is reported that
he was wounded.

MILL CITY,s FOURTH.
independence Day Celebrated in
the OId-Fasi,iOned Way.


Independence day dawned on Min
neapolis with an suspicious sky. 1t
was an old-fashioned Fourth, hot and
smoky, such as rural communities are
wont to decorate with sky rockets, red
lemonade and f1amboyant oratory, but
Minneapolis celebrated it in her usual
cosmopolitan manner. 1t was a day off
for most every one, a day of freedom,
a day to leave the office and shop and
follow the bent of pleasure wherever
it might lead.
For those inclined to sports there
was the allure ment of the races at Min
nehaha track and the rather doubtful
pleasure of seeing the Minneapolis ball
team course their cratic way over the
diamond. For the rurally-minded there
were picnics and excursions to every
point of the compass. Lake Mime
tonka was favored with a swarm of
visitors and Lake Harriet drew large
crowd in the afternoon, which at night
was swelled to tremendous proportions.
And for the small boy there was the
OmnipreSent firecracker
1t was a constant cannonade from
early Wednesday evening to the wee
sma' hours this morning. The echoes
from the flint locks of the emba tiled
farmers of Lexington green and the
heroes of a hundred Revolutionary
battle fields reverberated again in the
myriad sounding artillery of our latter
day patriots. Noise is what the small
boy wants, but who will say that his
mind does not receive some impulse of
patriotism amid all the clamor of In
dependence day?
One fatality marred the scene of gen.
eral rejoicing and dozens of lads reg
iStered scratches, burns and miracu-
louS escapes as accidents of the day.
The hoodlUm element with the cannon
cracker and various fearful and won
derful explosives made life miserable
for the street railway employees and
patrons, and several times at their
favorite lurking places serious acct
dents have been narrowly averted. 1t
was hard day on motormen and con-
ductors, who found little cause to
give thanks because they escaped the
gauntlet with their lives. The police
force, and above all, the fire depart
ment, put in a day OF ceaSelesS and
vigilant watchfulnesS for the safety
of the community, and it is safe to
say that this morning they are just as
thankful for the outcome of the one
day that is just past, as for the 119
years Of national liberty which it
closed.
Yesterday was great day for pic
! mics. A fringe of them surrounded
the city, scattered at the end of every
street car line. The Populists held one
at Prospect park, in the Midway dis
trict, where they were addressed by w.
NJ. barrow, of Chicago, one of the at
torneys in the Debs contempt case,
and by Willard J. Hull, the one-armed
Populist orator who domiciled last fall
in Minneapolis. The Girls Glee club fur
nished music and several athletic
events enlivened the later hours of the
