THOUSANDS AT THE QUAINT
OLD TOWN.
Hos pitality as in the Old Padre DAYS
Is Lavished on the Missions
Visitors.

Historic old Mission San Jose cele-
brated its centennial anniversary yestxr-
day with civic and martial pageantry.
with solemn and Impressive religious
ceremony and with prodigal hospitality
that even the padres OF a century ago need
not have been ashamed of. The Quaint
old town, which has slept peacefully
amid surrounding acres of prolific vines
from the vintage of whose grapes Mission
San Jose has become locally famous,
reused itself yesterday from its repose
and celebrated the Cloee OF its century of
would put many more populous town to
shame.
The celebration was a brilliant success,
looked al from any point of view. Thanks
to the zeal and forethought of Secretary A.
L. Sunderer, the secretary of the commit
tee of arrangements. ample Transports
tion facilities were offered, both by train
to Irvington and by vehicle thence to Mis-
sion San Jose.
The punctuality of Captain W. H. Nc
Mimi, the grand marshal. in starting the
parade promptly at 10 o'c, yek. also did
away with the tedious delay which spec
tators at similar celebrations are often

they could eat and all that was good for
them 10 drink, and stretched out OH the
smooth lawn or Iounging beneath the
thick shade of the ig-tree grove the guests
made merry or dreamily reposed as pleased
their own sweet fancy.
The crowd that enjoyed the Missions
entertainment was immense. II was esti-

present. They passed INTO the town from

The gunboat afterward shelled the shore
over an hour, but failed to prevent the
Cubans taking the cargo inland.

Being Mistaken for the Bomb
Thrower a Detective Is Terribly
Beaten by a Crowd.

PARIS, FRANCE, June 13.-The race
meeting at Longchamps to-day, at which
the Grand Prix de Paris race was run,
furnished an occasion for an attempt to
assassinate President Faure, who fortu-
nately escaped without the slightest in
jury.
The sweltering heat didn't prevent
large crowds from assem- bling along the
route to Longchamps to see the brilliant
equipaRes and their fashionable occupants
as they drove to the course. There was
also large crowd in the Bois de Bou-
loEne, in which the track is located.
AS the landau in which Faure was rid
ing was passing the cascade at the end of
the Bois de Boulogne a man in the crowd
threw bomb al the carriage. The deto-
nation was loud, but it was first supposed
that madman had fired a blank shot.
Immediately thereafter, however, there
was shower of nails and scraps of metal,
while the air was filed with an evil odor.
No damage was done to the Presidents
carriage, which proceeded without stop
ping. No one was in any wise in jured.
Faure paid no heed TO the explosion, pro-
ceeding directly to the race course. There
he went Immediately to the Presidents
box on the grandstand ard faced the peo-
pie, who acclaimed him enthusiastically.
In the meantime there was tremendous
excitement at the scene of the outrage.
a crowd seized a man supposed to be the
bomb thrower and belabored him with
sticks, stones, kicks and cuffs. Finally
the dazed and bleeding man was taken
into custody by gendarmes. They learned
he was detective in plain clothes, who
had been assigned to the special duty OF
protecting the President The detective
was near Faure's carriage when the bomb
was thrown. He Immediately dashed
into an adjacent wood after the man he
suspected had thrown the bomb. He
failed to catch him, however, and al once
returned to the scene of the explosion.
While picking up the remains of the bomb
the crowd attacked him. mistaking him
for the criminal. The unfortunate victim
of the crowds fury was taken to the hos
pital.
The police then searched the place.
They found almost intact a cylinder
meters in diameter. Ihey also found an
CID pistol, dagger and a scrap of paper
on which was inscribed: Tine execution

JOSEPH \. EARLE.
PRESS COMMENTS ON THE
LATE STATESMAN.
Views of the Editors of State Papers
Briefly Expressed.


Gen. Earle was essentially 4
"people's man." He believed in
the people, and, quite nat !rally
the people believed IN him. lie
considered them always, aud, Il,
we we'll conceive. with earnest
solicitude for thtir welfare. To
those who did not appreciate this
it seemed strange that man Sc
grave and oulwardly SO crld. ST
dignilied. 50 unlike the "good
fellow" Of politics, could have
gained such favor as he did among
The masses. But they seemed 10
devine his sympathy, they reSPec-
ted him they believed in him,
and on every occasion save one,
when he fought against revolu-
,lon, they rallied to him. The
very gallantry of his battle against
a majority in 1890 seemed to el-
dear him to that majority in fol-
lowing years.
The public service of Gen.
Earle, as Stale Senator, as attor-
ney general and as circuit judge,
was service well performed. He
was faithful TO his trusts, and able
in their discharge. But few of
his official acts were ever assall-
ed.
