as many again absorbed, and the prophets
say the demand will call for million
whesls this year.
If the money going into wheels came
from savings banks or other depositories
the effect would not be marked, but this
does not appear 10 be the fact. The funds
which go to the bicycle are practically
those diverted from other lines OF trade
where they have formerly been expended.
There is another side TO the story, how
ever. which leads US 10 think that the
complaints OF some trades regarding the
bicycles may be exaggerated. As in the
economy of nature nothing is wasted
so it is that the money devoted
to bicycles finds its way eventually
into the regular channels of trade. it
is probably blessing in disguise that the
bicycle business has developed such activ-
lty in the dull times. When one considers
the number of people who are directly en-
ployed or interested in the business it is
evident that the money coming to them is
not displaced.
Leather, rubber and metal industries are
benefited largely and directly by the con-
struction of the wheels, while supplying the
riders with speciaities in shoes, sweaters,
stockings, leggings, caps, etc., keeps many
factories busy. Real-estate owners profit
from the rent of stores; the repairs to bicy-
cles give occupation to many hundred men;
the profits of the makers ana handlers are
large.-Boston Commercial Bulletin.

/ QUIET CELEBRATION,
The Day Closely Observed as a
Holiday by All Classes of
the Community.
Meeting of the Peoples Party and
Of the Board of
Hath

ALAMEDA, CAL, July 4-The National
anniversary was celebrated here to-day by
the display of bunting and flags on the
public buildings and the closing of all the
business places on the streets. 1t is not
known when the day was so closely OBJ
served before.
The trains and electric cars carried
three-fourths of the residents out of the
city, and left the stay-at- home boy and the
firemen to hold high carnival with them
selves and bundles of firecrackers.
No fires have occurred, and the only ac-
cident reported is that of a member of the
fourth estate, whose white waistcoat and
shirt bosom were demolished by the burst
ing of a big redjack firecracker.
Health Measures.
ALAMEDA, CAL, July 4.-The regular
meeting of the Board of Health was held
last night.
The Health Officers report showed %
births and 13 deaths for the month of
June. The contagious diseases reported
were: Scarlet fever ], measles 2, tuber-
culosis anu chicken-pox 5.
The Sanitary Inspector reported that he
had inspected fifteen new buildings and
collected $50 in fees.
DR.. Lubbock made reference to the
canned cream and bottled milk of cer-
tain creamery. To feed any infant with
the stuff would in his opinion be next
door-neighbor to murder. Several samples
were inspected at the meeting and all
found to be in high state of putrefaction.
The permit to sell their goods in this city
was revoked by unanimous vote.
The Peoples Party.
ALAMEDA, CAL, July Am impor-
tant meeting of the Peoples party was
held this evening in the lower hall of
Linderman Opera-Eouse. Matters in con-
nection with the Presidential campaign
were discussed, and it was resolved THAT
it is for the best interests of the people
that man be nominated by the Peoples
party for President of the United states
who is in sympathy With the principles of
the Omaha platform"

Pope. forbids women to take part either
as soloists or chorists in Roman Catholic
church services. an exception being, how
ever, made in favor of convent chapels
The rule, OF course, has long been in force
in English cathedrals, and so strictly is it
carried out at St. Paul's that when, as
in the st. David's Day Welsh services q
mixed chorus is employed, the ladies are
seated outside the choir rails, where by a
pious fiction they are supposed to be MEM
bers of the congregation. At Westminster
Abbey and elsewhere at musical festivals
mixed cholrs are, however, permitted; the
nonconformist choirs, as has amply been
proved at their Crystal Palace festivals
have many excellent female voices; the
Jews at the Berkeley-street Synagogue
have 4 choir OF ladies and gentlemen:

that the recent activity of the Congrega-
tion of Rites in reviving a law long DOR
mant is due to the employment of opera

by boys, although down, at any rate, TO

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, /
90S Broadway. July 4 (

906 Broadway, July 4.
The old soldiers of Haywards are de-
spondent. They are without special
veterans plat IN any cemetery and they
feel that they should be accorded the
privilege.
For long time the veterans in that
neighborhood have been trying to procure
plat of their own, but SO far they have
not been successful. Several weeks ago
they held meeting TO discuss e matter,
and as a result a communication was sent
to the trustees of Lone Mountain Cemetery
asking that enough land be donated to
provide for the veterans, of whom there
are not great number. They agreed to
keep the plat in order and to make it one
of the most beautiful spots in the ceme-
terry.
They waited long time for reply and
when it finally came it was not the kind
of answer that they had expected. 1t
merely stated that the trustees were "un-
able to comply with your request" The
reply was very short, and its shortness
has had the same effect on the old soldiers
as stroking the hair the wrong way has on
a cat.
The veterans feel that they were at least
entitled to reason for the refusal to COM
ply with their request, and they feel sore
toward Trustees Rice, Dole. Linnaker ana
Luce because no explanation was given.
"There is much ground on which TO base
our request" said one of the veterans to-
day. 1--WE would not have asked for a
plat if we did not think we were legiti-
mately entitled to it. In the first place,
our request was a very respectful one. We
offered to take good care of the plat, to
plant flowers and keep them cultivated,
and to see that the graves were neat and
frequently decorated. We also wished to
erect flagstaff, so that on all public occa-
sions Old Glory could float over the graves
of those who loved her more than them
selves. We would also have tried to pro-
cure some permanent decorations in the
way of old pieces of ordnance from the
Army and Navy Department, and alto
gether we would have made the plat a
place of beauty and suggestiveiy histor-
ical.
"At the time of the war what was known
as the Home Guard was organized at Hay
wards. 1t was carried on as body OF mill
tiamen, but they were never called upon.
Indeed, the idea was that they were sim
ply organized for action in case actual hos
tilities should reach the coast. Money
was raised for that part of the guard. but
as it was never pressed into service the
fund was not used.
"sfter some time had elapsed the money
was invested in a cemetery, and each men,
Der of the Home Guard obtained title to a
lot for about $40. The whole cemetery
was bought for small sum, and we think
we are entitled to piece OF it. The anna
teur soldiers will be buried in it, but the
veterans who saw active service are denied
the privilege of being buried in soldier
plat"

A. H. Hall is Liyermore Valley farmer. For
year or two past the June bugs have played
havoc with lis apricot crop. This year ne
started in to r q ht the bugs with smuoge nres.
For weeks past he has kept his apricot trees
saturated with slhoke, and as a consequence
has a nice clean crop of cots. He says when
the smoke goes into the trees the June bugs go
up in swarms like geese at the crack oil
shotgun.
The Georgia peach crop, which is considered
quite q factor in competition with California
fruit, is reported TO be only one-third TO half a
crop, as compared with last season, and there
is liable to be still further damage to the
Georgia crop on account OF rains early in
