THE FIREWORKS.
A Fine Display Witnessed by Many
Thousand People.

The fireworks exhibition as a closing
feature of the Fourth of July celebra-
ton took place in the extreme north
end of Agricultural Park The Park
paddock never contained so many peo-
pie before. 1t was impossible to esti-
mate the numbers in the dim light but
it is safe to say that 10000 human be-
ings We're on the grounds
The fireworks were good; mainly of
aerial character, they were thrown
very high, not one failed to burn, and
all were handsome. Several new rocket
and bomb features We're introduced that
were very handsome, notably the re-
lease from rockets and shells at great
hight of many parachutes strung to-
gether, and each bearing a brilliant col
ored light An especially handsome
feature was a burst in sheaf form of
hundreds Of serpent rockets, which rose
in golden mass in a way TO form a
sheaf, or a basket one could easily
fancy, filed with wheat in the stalk
and head. There were but few set
pieces and none were pretentious. The
display was all that was promised we
should judge, gave the people satisfac-
ton evidently, and certainly were we'll
managed. The people, however, who
left a band of loose horses in the pad
dock ought to be called to account. The
fireworks frightened the animals, and
of a sudden they came, host of them
apparently, charging through the vast
crowd. Such a scattering and scream
ing and falling and tumbling has not
been known in a long time. That no
one was killed seems miraculous, for
the animals dashed through a place
where fully 1000 men. women and chill
dren were standing, or reclining on the
grass and in closely gathered groups.

KEEPING ALIVE THE SPIRIT OF I776

organizations against the management
of the parade, for the reason that the
countermarch, only three blocks long,
gave them no opportunity to see who or
what was in the parade. They claim
that the countermarch should have been
down K street until the end of the line
was reached, thus affording all those IN
the parade an opportunity of seeing
what it was like, which is the purpose
of having the line countermarch.
The trades display was not Varled
one, but what there was of it was good
The feature of this portion of the line
was the display made by Frank Run
staller, proprietor of the Gllt-Edge
Brewery He had several large and
handsome wagons and trucks in line,
all elegantly decorated and drawn by
large, fine teams. In addition to the
vehicles a large number of uniformed
employees marched, each carrying
wooden shovel bearing the words, Gilt
Edge"
After countermarching on Tenth
street the procession drew UP at the
Plaza and disbanded.

J STRANGELY FOUND.
a Ring Lost in CottonfieId Picked Up
by a Magnet in Cottonseed Mill.

A Ring Lost in a CottonfieId Picked Up
by a Magnet in Cottonseed MILL
One OF the Union Oil Company's big
mills is located ct this place, and it is sur
prising the number OF queer finds that are
made in the cottonseed that is ground
here, so the engineer tells.
An interesting attachment in connection
with the intricate machinery of the mill
brings this about. Before the seed is
crushed it is necessary for it to pass
through very close ginning process,
where saws with almost infnitesimally
small teeth do the nipping. OF course the
smallest bit of metal that might make its
way with the seed would do infinite dam
age if allowed to strike these fine saws, and
TO prevent this a very ingenious device is
used. This is nothing more than power
full magnet, over which the seed is COM
PEELED to pass IN reaching the gin.
1t falls so. gently that the least bit OF
steel or iron that may be with the seed
clings hard and fast TO the magnet 1t is
almost Incredible the number of nails,
screws, pins, bolts and such things that
are captured i'm this way-things that have
madetheir way into the seed through the
varying processes that it must undergo.
OF course q man is kept busy watching the
magnet aud removing whatever may lodge
upon it, else the weight OF the seed would
eventually sweep them on again.
One day last month this magnetman
changed upon most curious find. Cling
ing to-the magnet, in the midst of an I'M
usual mum Der of nails and taps, he dis
covered what seemed TO be black ring OF
singular workmanship, set with dia-
mond. The man at once reported his find
10 the manager, who in turn submitted it
for inspection to an expert jeweler.
The jewe5er pronounced the ring a
valuable one; OF Wrought iron OF intricate
workmanship, and set with diamond OF
the first water The manager az once adj
vertised the= ring, and yesterday II. C.
Navarro OF San! Antonio came here to
claim ii. Navarro proved his ownership
beyond doubt, and the ring is now in his
possession.
He says that the ring disappeared from
bis possession five years ago, when he
having stolen it. An attempt to capture
the supposed thief was made without
avail. Nothing was heard OF him until re-
Gently, when the authorities discovered
that he was working in cotton gin in the
neigh borhood of Gainesville Navarro
says he hasn't doubt that the ring was
lost by the half-breed while he was GIN
ming, finally making its way to Denison in
a consignment of seed. The authorities
have been notified, and the thief may yet
be caught, but, in the meantime Navarro
is overjoyed with the return of his ring,
which IS a valuable heirloom.-Denison

Powder-MiIIs the Better Risk.

A well-known insurance broker said. in
speaking OF fire insurance risks: "Con-
trary to the general idea, insurance COM
panles would rather take risk on a pow
der magazine or a powder mandatory
than on an icehouse. In the case of a
powder mandatory there is the greatest
care taken by those who work in it, or
who visit it. There is no need of signs
hanging about warning persons not to
smoke. for they would never run the risk
of entering with cigar or pipe, even ii
tbs rules of the place allowed it. Now
with icehouses lit is different. Go into
any of them and you will find the no.
smoking signs in plenty. There is but
little care, however for many people think
such places will not burn. They do burn,
however and the result is the insurance
companies charge the higher risk on the
icehouse property Washing ton Star.

What an Archbishop Has to Do.

The Archbishop of Canterbury is busy
man. He is the Bishop of Kent and part
of Surrey. That means much travelling
about. He has to act as final referee in
affairs OF the English church all over the
world. That means selecting bishops and
settling difficult questions.
He is head of all the English bishops
and has to hold frequent meetings to dis
cuss all questions touching the church.
He is governor of several great schools,
and has TO consult with other governors as
TO how they are to be managed. Then he
must attend the House of Lords, where
the Archbishop is bound to be a party
man.
So much for the Archbishop's duties.
Now about the way he performs them. To
a large extent by writing letters, in an.
swer to the missives which pour into
Lam beth Palace from early morn until
night. The Arch bishop opens as many
letters himself as ne can, always himself
reading those marked private" and the
secretaries, Three in number, do the rest
Then the secretaries come in with their
baskets, read the letters out and take
notes, while the Arch bishop says how they
are to be answered.
All day long this is going on; when
ever there is spare moment it is letters
letters The secretaries drive with him
sometimes as be goes to meeting, and
read letters to him all the time as they
go.-London TihBl

Fashion in Calling Cards

The Roman or block letter is becoming
more popular as the style of engraving for
visitln card plates, while the fashionably
thin card OF two-sheet quality is eminently
proper. Cards for Goth men and women
are considerably smaller, and the script en-
grayin. is finer in consequence, following
more closely the English style than the
Partisan, which is large and with fourishes.
The block or Roman letter plate is very
English. and with those affecting London
styles it finds great favor. The price more
than doubles that of script engraving.
Ladies use the block style now on their
cards for teas and receptions, as its admits
of the necessary engraving OF days within
a smaller space than the script and enables

We left our army of deluded little
ones on the shore at Marseilles. At
length just as dependency had
seized upon them 80 that they were
disposed to give up and return to
their homes, the unexpected hap
pened. Two merchants of Marseil-
les, whose names are given as Hugo
Ferrous and William Porous, stepped
forth and offered the necessary YES
sells to transport them, "for the cause
of God and without price," Now in
deed, they thought, had Jesus and
the blessed virgin heard their prayers;
now had God graciously performed
a miracle, not by cleaving the waters
but by softening the hearts of these
rich men SO that they should be car
ried safely over to the rescue of the
Holy Sepulchre. The city rang with
their singing and shouting. During
the time of waiting, however, their
ranks had become greatly reduced.
1t was found that seven vessels
would hold all who were willing to
go. Weary of waiting and lawless
as birds on the wing, they had scat
tered through the city and the sur
rounding country, enjoying the beau
tiful sunshine, the sensual comforts
of that delightful region, and could
not be induced to leave. In the cru
sade led by St. Louis, King of France,
which fitted out at the same port,
seven hundred men were accommo-
dated on each vessel. Allowing as
many children to each of these seven
vessel not less than five thousand ac-
tually embarked-only one sixth of
the original number.
must omit any extended accounts
of the embarkation, which was at
tended by many and imposing reli-
gious ceremonies, and follow these
deluded, mistaken children in their
voyage. 1t may be said here, how
ever, that for eighteen years no word
came back to anxious parents and
friends at home concerning the fate
that had overtaken them. In the
year 1890 there appeared in Europe
an aged priest who said he was one
of those who had embarked with the
children from Marseilles that Au-
gust day in 1912, The following ac-
count is the story he told:
Off the southwestern point of the
coast of Sardinia is a small rocky is
land called st. Pietro. On the Sc
cond evening after they left Marseil-
les the ships were passing to the west
of these islands. Their progress so
far had been rapid and prosperous;
but on this evening a severe storm
arose; two of the ships were driven
upon the rock off the north point of
st. Pietro and dashed to pieces. On
the morrow when the storm was over,

THE appointment of Edwin F. Uhl to
be Ambassador to Germany. says the
Philadelphia Ledger. may be called a
business selection. 1t is case of the
Office seeking the man. He has been
named for the place not because he had
apolitical pull nor because party exigen-
cies required either his presence in fat
Office or his absence from the country
during the approaching campaign. but
simply because he happened to be the
best man for the place. His position in
the State Department during the past
three years has made him familiar with
German affairs and our somewhat deli,
cate relations thereto, a familiarity
which was increased by recent visit to
that country, and. therefore. he is the
best man to continue the negotiations
conducted by Ambassador Runyon.

in the musty chronicles of the times,
passed out of mind. The Turks had
possession of the Holy Land; cru
sades for the liberation of the Holy
Sepulchre were done away. The
priests finding their occupation gone
departed from the island leaving the
church to dilapidation and decay.
Nothing is left of it now but the rear
and side walls and these are fast
crumbling away. There the ruin
stands, weather beaten and gray,
between the mountain and the sea,
neglected monument of forgotten
tragedy"
