1T WAS A ROUT.
Victory of the Fanatics Over the Bra
lillian Troops was Complete.

New York, July 3o.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Rio Janeiro, Brazil, gives
further details of the fight at Can
udor. From these advices it is evil
dent that the first report was not exag
gerated, and in fact did not tell the full
extent of the Fanatic victory. These
later reports state that the government
troops lost a large part of their artil-
lery in the battle and that the guns, in
good order, are now in possession of
the Fanatics.
Those of the artillerymen who were
not killed beside their guns We're forced
to retreat before the onslaught of the
Fanatics, leaving their guns behind
them.

THEY SANK THE FLOOR
Throng of Office Seekers at the White
House Nearly Wrecked the Lobby.

Washington, July 30.-Some idea of the
size of the vast throng of office seekers
that has called upon the president since
the 4th of March was conveyed to the
visitors at the White house today when
they saw number of worknen lifting
up and strengthening the floor of the
large lobby just outside the president s
office.
This floor had sunk no less than four
inches from the weight imposed it,
1t lies directly above the vast east room
and so cannot be supported from beneath
without disfguring that splendid apart
ment. A plan has been prepared by Col.
Bingham, the superintendent of public
buildings and grounds for suspending
the floor from the heavy roof beams
above.

Notes and Comments.

Harvest is near at hand.
Make hay while the sun shines.
Corn is growing rapidly; refreshing
showers are very beneficial.
The wheat crop in Old Berkeley
never was more promising than al
present. 1t looks as though prosper
ity might be starting in that direc-
ton. Many of us are anxiously wait
ing for its arrival, which evidently is
coming; it may be slow, but no mat
ter for that, SO it is sure.
The excavation and foundation for
the Fifth ward school building is be-
ing pushed along rapidly. Good
work is being done. Some condemn,
while others approve the erection OF
the new building. In conversation
with an old gentleman recently, he
opposed it on the ground that it
might increase taxation. Upon in
vestigation, his school tax is less
than twenty. five cents per year. oh,
what charity must swell up in his
bosom for the education of the poor
orphan; or have we named it wrong
if this is charity it is that kind which
begins at home, ends at home and is
dreadfully weak in the legs, The re-
ward for such feelings would most
certainly end with cramps Of the
stomach instead of the purse.
Out Of near $50 membership, the
order of Odd Fellows should have
had large procession on the nenor-
ial occasion of flower strewing on the
graves of deceased brethren. The
great majority stands back with the
idea that there will be enough there
without ME, and the few have the en-
tire labor to perform. This occurs
annually and all are appraised of tie
day and the hour of meeting. How
many failed to attend for possibly no
cause. This should not be so. We
are of the opinion that
The good die not; this heritage they leave
The record of life well spent,
We know, at parting, though we grieye,
A noble life is mans best monument.
How about the glorious fourth OF
July. the celebration of it, Are we
not to have anything beyond chick
en- or dog fight; have the deeds Of the
immortal signers of the Declaration
of independence passed from view OF
memory Suffer it not to be so.
There should be feeling manifested
in the bosom Of every patriotic Amer
lean citizen to keep this day fresh
and green in the minds of all young
or old. The meaning Of the word
