But the face grew pale and the girl
started back nervously.

which told of deep emotion.

For a moment neither said more;

NA flush o f t h e
morn,
ri - And cannon are
OITN flashing n d
banging,
And hoarse peals the ear-splitting horn:
On the ait floats the banner of glory
New stars its bright azure adorn-
And all of the day tells the story
When a nation to freedom was porn.
All day, through the heat,
Sounds the tramp. tramp of feet!
IT'S the rampant small boy,
In a frenzy of joy,
Over crackers a-cracking,
And the snappy whack-whacking
OF pistols, torpedoes, and such
All, for him there is never too much!
No pleasure can thrill him,
No music can fill him
With rapture SO sweet
AS the popping of powder
-(Now softer, now louder),
And the rub-a-dud beat
OF the drum. and the life
Stirring scream of the fife.
But night, with her mantle of peace,
At last shutteth silently down
Over country and village and town;
For awhile in the air
The bright, sky-rendins flare
OF the rocket, the sheen
OF the candles tumultuous glare,
Out-shining the starlight, are seen
Then quietly, one by one,
Like the going down of the sun.
The tumult. the glory, surcease,
And the day, that SO noisily rose.
Sinks down to unbroken repose.

Bang! bang! fzz-

Amusements.

II is no exaggeration to say that
this evening the patrons of the Bur-
It's have one of the most inter
esting events known to the history o;
that house. This will be the presen-
tation of Sydney Grundy's world
famous "seX-against-seX" drama.
Sowing the Wind" by Charles
Frohman's celebrated cast of pol
ished players. The reputation the
play made during its two hundred
and odd nights in New York. its 100
performances in Chicago, and its
brilliant successes all over the Eng
disappearing world has been com
rnented on SO extensively by the news
paper and magazine press that its
mention must have become trite to
every play-goer who keeps pace with
the news OF the stage world.
The Baggage Check" is to be pre-.
sented at Harper's theatre Sunday
evening. When speaking of farce
comedies the first question asked is
who is the cast? For it is well
known fact that no farce amounts to
much without strong company.
James I. Kelly, ". j. Sally. Charles
Morgan, Louis Martinetti, James L.
Marcus, Lizzie Melrose, Ida Clarka
and the Nicohlas sisters are the prin
cipals and they all have well earned
regulations in the farce comedy
world. James I. Kelly was last seen
here in "A Railroad Ticket" and i
well remem bered for his clever talk
ing specialties, which keeps the
house in laughter the entire evening.
In Isa Conboy he has a charactc.
suited to his peculiar methods, Civ.
ing him the chance of his life for
comeday recitations, making the au-
dience go home with the feeling
that they are sorry the performance
is over. The second act is bright,
catchy satire on the steam laundry
business and gives the public an idea
OF what it means to want your wash
ing quick. The Goth century and
athletic girls. with the famous
Fhrilby quadrille and merry single
specialties of the company make q
splendid evenings entertainment,
which must be seen to be appreci-
ated.

KINNER THE RIGHT KIND.
Named for the Vacancy on the de ocrafic
Township Ticket.

Named for the Vacancy on the de 10 ocrafic
Township Ticket.
The democratic eity-township com
mittee last evening placed the name
of Henry kinner on the the township
ticket to fiji the vacancy occasioned
by the withdrawal of John I. Stat
ford. The choice is a most excellent
one, Mr.. Kinner being the right
Kind of candidate exactly.
A year ago Mr.. Kinner was
a candidate for assistant SUI
pervisor. but was defeated through
the series of combinations made
by the Collins push to insure
the reelection of Sinnet and Oberg.
Mr.. Kinner is representative citizen
and will make a supervisor in
whom the people may put their
trust. lie is not one who will be in
iluenced or guided by the designing
ring politicians and he will serve
broad interests of all tax payers on
the board.
The city-township committee is to
be congratulated in having SO wisely
provided for the unavoidable vacancy
on the ticket.
