Concert
cABALLER0S AND CHINESE

The floral parade and battle Of flowers
at the tribunes will not be surpassed by
any other feature of the festival. In fact
1t is to be the great event of the weeks
festivities. This year the tribunes have
been admirably arranged and so con-
structed as to make it possible to show
off, the parade and admit of grana
battle of flowers The effect of this bonn
bardment of blossoms will be something
beyond the pen to describe. 1t will have
to be seen from a seat in the tribunes
TO be appreciated and in fact the effect
on the average mind will be such as not
to be grasped at once. 1t will live in
memory and when recalled at later
time will increase and grow on the imag-
ination.
There has never been real, animated
battle of flowers in Los Angeles, so this
feature will be something new. The
queen will be on her throne, surrounded
by her brilliant court and retinue. Ten
thousand of her happy and expectant

Of obtaining an ambulance for his per-

.rhI. Bridge IL Blown Up

During the army manoeuvres near
Settin a comical incident occurred, says
the Berlin Boersen-Zeitung. A young
lieutenant Of the cavalry guards, who
has considerable property, was sent,
with six men, to reconnoiter in the d.
rection in which his regiment was to
advance. Arriving at a bridge cross
ing the Settin highroad he fastened a
board across. writing on it with chalk,
the words: This bridge is blown up"
signing it with his name. After this
heroic exploit he retired q little ways
and treated his command and himself
to an excellent breakfast, in which sew
eral bottles of liquor played an impor-
tant part Tired from the ride on the
hot day, the little command, after that
repast. took a rest along the wall Of a
cemetery near by. allowing the horses
to Craze.
In the meantime, however, an In
fantry regiment OF the enemy had ar
rived at the bridge and its commander
wrote another sign. which read: This
bridge is built up again" The cavalry
patrolmen were discovered and were
asleep. The colonel Of the regiment
ordered the horses and arms taken
away, allowing them to continue in
their slumber. OF course, when they
awoke, a few hours afterward, and
made their way back to their own
command, without being able to give
an account Of what had become Of their
horses, sabers and guns, there was
great CONSERVATION among them. sincs
the lieutenant in charge of the expe-
dition intended to retire into private
life at an early date to devote himself
to his agricultural interests, the colonel
Of his regiment gave him the advice Of
executing the contemplated change a
as early q date as possible.

ing order of things" The meeting was
followed by another and another, and
finally was merged into the republican
party.
Another account of the birth Of the
spublican party says 1t was formed
1t Jackson, Michigan, in the fall Of
1859. Hon. James O'Donnell, editor of
the Jackson Citizen, has often been
Rentioned as one of its founders.
II has also been claimed that the
party was formed at Ionia, Mich. in
1883, and that Farmer Williams was
the original founder. Volumes might
be written about the formation Of the
party that is soon to come into power
again So many places and so many
individuals claim the honor of its for
nation that even Mr.. Boothby's claim
may rest in doubt. In the meantime
1t may not be amiss to ask II any one
has ever thought the formation Of a
nsw party was spontaneous. The
breath was in the air and the people
simply breathed It. In reality there
was no such thing as organization. The
party was a conglomerate mass of hu-
manity and as such did its best work
the election Of Lincoln. The organ
ization came in later years. Never was

An Enemy's Service.

one of the stories OF the Crimean
War told by the novelist Turgenien,
and we'll authenticated by existing let
tiers, is peculiarly touching. Sergius
lvanovitch, a young Russian lieuten-
ant, was one OF an attacking party
which was ordered out on a cold night
TO drive a body of French from a posi-
ton in front of the Russian lines. In
order TO be as free as possible in his
movements, the young lieutenant left
his military cloak behind. The French
were found well posted in the edge OF
a wood. A desperate fight followed, at
the end of which the Russians were
compelled to withdraw, leaving their
dead and wounded behind them.
Among the grievously wounded was
Sergius Ivanovitch. and all about him
Were French wounded. Sergius suf-
fered worse even from the cold than
he did from his wound; and though
bullet had penetrated his leg, he was
sure that the exposure Of the night,
rather than the wound, would be the
end Of him. Groaning and shivering.

coVld the wound in his leg, when some
one said in French:
You had best let your wound alone.
Suffer, and disturb it as little as pos
sible."
The Russian found that the man who
had spoken was a veteran French cap
tain, who, even worse wounded than
himself Law close by.

gius. but / shall perish Of cold before
morning. anyway"
Then the Frenchman reproved him

cloak. Experience has taught me-" he

"Oh. they will come and get you"
No, my dear enemy. II is all up

and sleep. At your age one can sleep

Despite his protests. the young Rus
sian felt the Frenchman's cloak laid
upon him. Exhausted, he fell asleep
under its warming influence. Waking

being the smallest wearer of navy blue
in the service.
He has been in 1t eighteen months.
He weighs seventy-eight pounds and
was but feet 9 inches in height at the
time of enlistment. That was one
eighth Of an inch short of the required
height. But Heston had come all the
way from his Missouri home to add
his tiny strength to the new navy, and
the recruiting oficer thought it too bad
TO disappoint him. So the navy de-
partment was told about the matter
and an order was given to waive the
regulation in his case and he was en-.
listed.-New York Herald.
