ers whose crops were destroyed by hail or
storms in 1894.

The Day in Alameda.

Alamedans rose bright and early yester-
day morning and assembled at the park at
s O'Clock in goodly numbers to witness the
unfurling OF Old Glory from the liberty pole
erected by popular subscription. The cere-
monies were under the auspices of Joe
Hooker Post, G. A. R., the veterans being
escorted to the park by the military COM
pany. Captain H. n. Toad made short
address from the bandstand, in which he
informed the audience of the magnificent
donation of ex-Trustee E. B. Mastick in
presenting a pennant forty feet long to the
city. When Old Glory spread to the breeze
cheer after cheer rang out and Company G
fired the salute. Mrs. w. +. Chapman
sang the "Star-spangled Banner" and was
roundly applauded by the audience.
Colonel George Babcock delivered the
Grafton in his usual eloquent manner, "
endearing himself more and more to the
people, as was shown by the frequent out
bursts of applause. The colonel concluded
his remarks by turning the flagstaff, flag
and streamer over to the city of Alameda,
and addressing the Trustees, who occupied
positions on the platform, said he hoped
they would cherish it as the priceless gift
of Joe Hooker Post to the fairest city on
the Pacific Coast.
President Forderer of the Board of
Trustees accepted the gift on the part of
the city in brief and effective speech.
Comrade q. A. Blank, whose enthusiastic
patriotism tempted him to father the
movement, was called Cor and repeatedly
applauded. He was more than pleased
that his labor had not been in vain. After
the ceremony the veterans and the military
company paraded in Oakland.

THEY FED THE HUNGRY.
Roos Brothers Provide Dinners for
Some Fifteen Hundred
Pany1In

Those who passed Roos Brothers cloth
ing-store yesterday afternoon saw what
made them think more highly of hui
mainly. The firm celebrated lndepend-
ence day by the exercise of wise
ch arity and, from P. NJ till late
last evening served substantial meals
to ali who applied. No questions
were asked OF the applicants. 1t was pre-
sumed that they needed the meal or they
would not have presented themselves.
The advertisements that have appeared in
the papers for week and the sign outside
the clothing establishment "Free dinners
served to 2OoO persons July 4th," have at
tracted much attention, and there was
goodly number Of onlookers at the feast
yesterday.
And feast it was to the upward of
1900 men, women and children who were
beneticiaries of the bounty. There was
nothing suggestive of charity in the eX-
temporized dining-room on the ground
floor. The posts were deCked with ferns
and sweet peas, and flowers stood out IN
profusion against background OF flags
and bunting. Japanese lanterns and can
delabra furnished light and added to the
festive appearance. Employees OF the es-
adjustment acted as walters:
The food was abundant and well cooked,
and there was all the variety that goes to
make up q substantial dinner.
The guests were clean and decorous. To
be sure there were some ravenous appetites,
especially among the urchins, but all
seemed to appreciate the kindness OF their
hosts There was no loud talking and
much hearty eating, and it was remark
able fact that not an intoxicated man was
seen there during the day.
Don't stint them. Give them all they
want. We have food enough for 1000 if
they come" said Achille Roos, beaming
upon his humble guests with the utmost
satisfaction.
The souvenir of this banquet for the poor
was huge loaf of bread, and nearly every
one carried away this substantial reminder.
As they left the store all said, THANK
you" and many said God bless you"
The food that remained was sent TO the
Salvation Army for disposal.

CASUALTIES OF THE DAY.
Young America Suffers but Slightly
in His Campaign of
Noise,

In consideration of the fact that Young
America was unusually exuberant in the
celebration of the Fourth, the calendar of
accidents was not weighted down by any
heavy list of casualties. Outside of minor
accidents, such as scQrched fingers and
bruised limbs, the majority of the days
cases went TO the Receiving Hospital.
There the doctors had laid in an extra sup
ply of bandages and other necessaries in
anticipation of heavy days work. They,
however, found themselves cleft, ;" to use a
slang phrase.
The cases which came in were all boys
who had allowed their patriotic "oh be
jOyfulness" to extend beyond the limits of
reasonable precaution.
Early In the morning Matthew Carol, a
boy residing al % Minna street, made his
appearance with the fingers of his left
hand lacerated. Little Matthew, in the
ardor of his patriotism, had been acting as
a gunner at realistic imitation of the
battle of Bunker Hill. The cannon burst,
ana the battle ended with the laceration
of the youthful gunner's hand.
Another young patriot, named Reuben
Hulkins, living at Russ street. celebrated
the National holiday by amusing himself
with a pistol until, in firing it, one of
the loaded cartridges shot the forefnger
off his left hand. Reuben does not now
consider the firing OF pistols an amusing
pastime.
Thomas Moffitt who lives with his
parents at 119 Ninth street, learned early
in the afternoon that powder will explode
when match is applied to it. The burns
on his face and hands were attended to at
the Receiving Hospital.
Fred Kennett of 80 Seventh street looked
into the mouth of a toy cannon TO see why
it did not go off. The cannon vomited fire
and smoke at the same moment, and Mas
ter Kennett learned the lesson that it is
not wise to peer closely into the action of
powder when it is about to go off.
EDDY Roe of 2 Boynton street also
groaned upon the operating-table in the
hospital while the. surgeon eased the pain
in his face and hands caused by prema-
ture explosion of blast which Eddy was
engineering on Boynton street in honor OF
the Fourth.
James Lyons, boy who lives at the
corner of Buchanan and Mutton streets,
had lis right hand badly burned with
powder last evening.
: Thomas Barnes who is employed on
Truck of the Fire Department, while on
duty at the corner of Clay and Taylor
streets last night, had his right foot badly
crushed by the wheel of hook-an bladder
truck passing ever it. He was treated at
the Receiving Hospital.
James Creegan, of 1912 Battery street,
while passing long Sansome street, was
burned about the face by the explosion of
large fire cracker.
George Brecken, a boy living at 5
Geneva street, while amusing himself with
toy cannon found that it could do con-
siderable damage when it went off in his
face while he was peeping down the barrel.
HIS injuries were also eased at the Re-
Ceiying Hospital.

FIREWORKS IN THE MIST.
The DampneSs Injured the Effec-
tiVenesS Of the
DISPLAY,

The rain last night, slight as it was,
proved sufficient to spoil the best portion
of the display of fireworks secured by the
executive committee at no inconsiderable
cost.
Thousands of people gathered around
the square on Fifteenth street near Fol-
som, vainly hoping that the unlocked for
rain had not utterly spoiled the whole OF
course the bombs and rockets and shells
were not injured by the dampness, but
nine -tenths OF the set pieces were rendered
useless.
The few that had the courage to ego off
as scheduled were roundly applauded,
more perhaps ON account of the fact that
they had the temerity to brave the ele-
ments than from. any particular excellence
OF effect. The lack OF perfect effect, how
ever, was due to the sputtering disposition
OF the pieces, produced, OF course, by the
rain.

Oueerest of Lead Pencils.

a German exchange gives an account Of
a bit of smuggling rascalitv which would
do credit to the sharpest of Yankee male
factors. The Russian Government knew
that counterfeit paper money was being
brought into the country, crossing the
frontier at a certain place, but for a long
time could not ascertain how it got in.
AT last the scheme was revealed by an
accident. The money was rolled tightly
into the holes in the center of lead pencils.
the ends of which were filed with graphite
as usual. A case of pencils fell from a
wagon as it was being inspected; the in
spector put pencil in his pocket, and
after a time sharpened it and used it.
Presently. of course, he came to the ho-
low and pulled out counterfeit bank bill.
