LETTER FROM CLEVELAND.
The President Addresses Tammany on
the Subject of Patriotism.

the Subject of Patriotism.
NEW YORK, July 6.-Among the let
ters read at the Tammany celebration
of the Fourth was the following from
President Cleveland:
The patriotism and devotion of those
who fought for our liberties and es-
tablished onr free government ought
always to be held in grateful remem-
brance and neither lapse of years nor
changed conditions should ever detract
from the zest and enthusiasm of their
coInmemOration.
The thought must not escape us,
however, that while every anniversary
Of American independence reminds us
of the stern sacrifices of the fathers
of the republic, and while on such oc-
casions we find abundant cause for re-
joiciDg in the splendor of their achieve
ments, we should not fail to be serious
" impressed by a proper apprehension
of the duties and responsibilities we
have inherited as their successors and
legatees.
It was their lot to endure the rigors
and hardships of a discOurag cling war,
in order that a government by the
people might be stablished. We can
not without wicked recreancy disre-
gard the lessons taught by their suf-
terlngS, nor can we without disgrace
neglect the duty of preserving and
maintaining in their integrity and
strength the free institutions born of
their herOism.
Their work was done through priva-
ton, and in the midst of doubt and
gloom. Our duty can be we'll per
formed If we are simple, honest, intel
ligent and patriotic.
They found their danger on battle
fields and in the uncertain issue of an
armed contest. Our danger is found
in the reclxlessness OF selhshness, and
insidious appeals to popular passion
and thoughtlessness.
Nothing but the same patriotic
steadfastness and adherence to princi-
pie, which led to their success will
now shield our government from dis
aster and preserve our national glory
and prosperity.
earnestly hope that the celebra.
ton contemplated by your organiza-
ton will stimulate those who are
within it's influence to do valiant
deeds in the political field and amid
present perplexities, to teach by ex-
ample and declaration the potency of
adherence to sound and consistent
principles, and the safety of reliance
on the honor and patriotism of our
countrymen when impending danger
arouses them to activity.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok, July 5.-Both
the Christians, the desperadoes who
escaped from the jail in this city, Sun
day, killing the chief of police while
doing so, have reached their old re-
sort, on Little river, and are collecting
band of men as desperate as them
selves to wreak vengeance on their en-
emies. VIII Christian was shot in the
neck while escaping. The band now
being organized by the Christians will
rival the Dalton gang in its pa1miest
DAYS and promises to become a terror,
for such men as Dick wager, Jake
Kechi and Lawrence Barnet are con
Meeting themselves with it. Startling
developments are expected.

THE POETRY OF NOTION.

Represented by the New York Central.
Speed and comfort are two conditions
demanded by modern travellers; but the
perfect com bination is rare one. On
most American railroads high speed is
only possible at the expense of danger
and discomfort To combine comfort
and safety with the greatest speed, per-
feet equipment and absence of sharp
curves are necessary. The most perfect
road bed and the most excellent rolling
stock will not secure comfort on a rail-
road that winds sharply among hills, for
passengers must inevitably be shaken
and joltsd about by the sudden changes
OF direction.
There Is only one railroad in America
that combines all the conditions essential
to the highest speed and the greatest
comfort That is the New York Central
& Hudson River r. r. 1t holds the
worlds championship for long distance
fast trains, won by recent improvements
in equipment and locomotive building
that fairly mark an epoch in railroading;
and its hundred-ton engines, borne on
massive rails weighing 12O pounds per
yard, now skim with perfect safety
around curves at the rate of 80 miles an
hour. The solidest of road beds is need
ed to Withstand this marvellous speed,
and to bear the enormous locomotives
and trains; and the New York Central
stands alone in the speed of its trains,
because what it does with safety is i'm
possible to other railroads of inferior
equipment.
But ordinary travellers do not wish ex-
ceptional speed when it entails great
discomfort; nor is it desirable to court
the fatigue and soreness inseparable
from long journey on a jerky train.
A journey Oh the New York Central is
the perfection of luxury. It entails
neither fatigue nor soreness, for it has
practically no sharp curves, and its trains
move at the highest speed without the
slightest shock. It's trains are superb in
their furnishings, every detail of modern
luxury is provided, the service is ideal.
To travel on the New York Central is the
poetry of motion. = The Dry Goods
Chronicle.

Pingrse VIII Go to Europe IL the Council
VIII Behave ITSELF
DETROIT, Mich, July 5.-All that
stands in the way of Mayor Pingree's GO
ing to Europe for 8 two months vacation
is a written and signed promise from
majority of the aldermen that they won't
tamper with the street railway matters
during his absence. His honor is afraid
if he left the town unprotected for few
days the aldermen might give Exon
gresham Tom johnson, who owns the
largest system here, the right to operate
an electric car line in the main corridor
Of the city hall.
Controller Moore is going to Europe
within two weeks and is anxious to take
Mayor Pingree with him. He is SO
anxious, in fact, he has secured promises
from large number of aldermen not to
take advantage of the Mayors absence,
and expects to secure enough more
promises this week to make it safe for
the mayor to venture across the pond
