ist, William Hind; Assistant Botanist,

After the installation ceremonies an
interesting debate was held on the ques-
ton, Are the English People Justified
in Celebrating the Queens Jubilee?"
Rev. r. j. Johnston and Elder J. A.
Laidlaw argued in the affirmative, while
Messrs. William Hind and William Lugg
presented the merits of the negative
side.
The judges reported that the atfirma-
tive had little the best of the argu-
ment with the negative a close second.

Be QUITE A SUCCESS.
MAYOR HUBBARD'S OPINION
OF THE CELEBRATION.
The Executive Committee Finishes
Up Some of the Minor
Details.

The meeting held by the Fourth of
July Executive Committee last evening
was tame, compared with those which
had preceded it. There was no red
fire, no bombs, no sky-rocket oratory,
and no sarcasm.
1t was purely a business meeting,
and being the last one until after the
celebration the scars of battle were
salved over, and all differences be-
tween the Evening Entertainment
Committee and those who had de-
manded fireworks were declared bal
anced
j. Q. Coleman, Chairman of the
Evening Entertainment Committee,
stated that arrangements had been
made to give a liberal display of fire
works on a raised stand back of the
platform. Set pieces, and all kinds OF
fireworks, except rockets, Mr.. Coleman
said, would be set off in the intervals
between acts of the general pro-
gramme The entertainment, he esti-
mated would last about an hour and
three-quarters.
1t was decided to invite the members
of the several baseball clubs to march
in the parade.
Grand Marshal, George H. Clark,
said it looked as though the pa
rade would be a short one, and sub
mitted that it would be proper to have
the committee in carriages in the line.
His suggestion was favorably consid-
cred, and the committee will help to
swell the parade.
w. J. Hogan reported that the
Knights of Pythias Company, which
| had been expected from Wood
| land, would not arrive, and that the
| $50 which had been appropriated to
| be used in entertaining the visitors
could be expended elsewhere.
On motion of George H. Clark $2j
of the money was appropriated to hire
horses for visiting staff officers who
| will take part in the parade.
| 1t was reported that 200 wheelmen
have signified their intention to take
| part in the Illuminated parade in the
evening, and that the number will be
| increased before Monday night. Three
disinterested judges have been chosen
| to distribute the prizes, and it is ex-
pected by the committee that the pa
rade will be feature in the enter
| tainment.
Colonel Guthrie said 1t was under
stood that the parade would start
| PROMPTLY at 10 o'clock. AT that hour,
he said, a gun would be fired and the
Grand Marshal would move if he had
to move alone.
The Chairman, Mayor Hubbard in
summing up the labors of the commit
| tee, expressed the belief that the cele-
bration would prove a success in every
| particular.
c. M. Harrison referred to the fact
that at a ormer meeting he had called
Major Sherburn a bug pincher." He
had not, he said, meant any disrespect,
but had merely intended the expression
to mean that the Major was the watch
dog of the finances.
j. o. Coleman moved that Major
Sherburn accept the apology.

FREEDOMS STRUGGLE.
Stirring Words Spoken to the Pu-
pills of the High School.

At the High School an eloquent and
patriotic address was delivered by Ar
thur E. Miller. The young attorney
briefly reviewed the struggles of our
forefathers to found settlements ,and
spoke of their experiences with the
treacherous and bloodthirsty Indians;
of how gallantly and how well they
aided the British to drive the French
and all other nations from the thir-
teen colonies, and how at last, ground
to the very dust by English oppression,
by English barbarities, and by Eng
lish cruelties, these hardy, fearless
Puritan fathers joined hands together
to shake off the yoke of slavery which
that tyrant king, George Ill, and his
corrupt Parliament were slowly but
surely forcing upon them.
The young orator spoke of how they
took up that unequal struggle without
money, without arms, without navy,
without even a Government, and yet
that struggle, that long and bloody
struggle, was destined to create coun-
try far greater than England herself
a country that has and will forever
dare any foreign natior TO attempt
to wrest from its lawful posseSSor even
a single inch of American soil. He told
his listeners that at the beginning of
the war the CoIonists did not foresee.
nor did they even hope for the wonder
full result that was to be; for, as John
Adams said. 1T is true indeed that
in the beginning we aimed not at in
dependence, but there is divinity
which shapes our ends
And Adams was right, said the
speaker There was a destiny that pro-
claimed that right should conquer
might and that the great and power
full England should bow her naughty
head to her once down-trodden and
oppressed Colonists.
He spoke of the indignities heaped
upon them, of the exorbitant taxes and
duties they had to pay. of their being
compelled to buy all their goods from
English merchants. and forced to quar-
ter in their own homes British troops
sent to coerce and trample them into
submitting to England's tyrannical de-
crees: of how. at the beginning of the
war, the Americans were sadly divided,
but that when the memorable battle
of Lexington was fought and the news
spread like wildfire over the land that
seven Americans had been killed, that
American blood had been spilled, then
every true American grasped his trusty
ffintlock and sprang forth to answer
his country's call.
He briefly spoke of the eight long
years of sufferings and privations that
followed; of the victories and defeats
of the terrible winter at Valley Forge;
Of the capture of Yorktown and Of
the final close of the War of the Rev
olution. Then he took up the birth of

Unusual interest centered in the pub
lie school exercises yesterday in honor
of the National holiday. The pro-
grammes in the several schools were all
of an intensely patriotic character, and
therefore appropriate to the occasion.
AS the exercises were all held at the
same hour the attendance in some IN
stances was less than it would other-
wise have been, but on the whole 1t was
quite encouraging to the teachers and
pupils.

HOMEOPATHY SOCIETY.
The Use of speefaeies Has crown
Amazingly and Rosy Checks Have
Disappeared Very Rapidly.

New York, Feb. I.-Brooklyn school
girls swear by homeopathy from now
on because the homeopathic Medical
society of Kings county will present a
resolution to the board of education of
Brooklyn on Tuesday, demanding the
modification of the course of study in
the girls high school. The resolutions
will be backed up by strong verbal ar
guments.
The physicians connected with the
society are convinced that the hard
study required of the students IS h wing
serious effect on their health. The
large numb er Of children wearing
glasses is credited to the demands OF the
high school course. These physicians
have been studying the subject for a
long time. Their attention was first
enlisted last May by DR.. Alton S.
Warner, who read paper before the
society on the subject. One of the
physicians interested in the matter said
yesterday:
"The curriculum of the girls high
school is so extensive and the standard
is so high that many girls have given
way under the strain of irving to pass
satisfactory examinations. Il was no
ticeable at the recent graduation that
half the girls showed evidences of the
intense mentral strain to which they
had been subjected. Rosy cheeks were
very scarce"

Tales from scotland

Here are some stories worthy of Bar

on her minister and communicated TO
him the intention of herself and her
brother, John, TO worship at home by

flesh cut from her arm, and had accom-
plished the substitution with remarkable
skill. There was no apparent dis6gure-
ment about the mouth, and the lip was
red and quite natural looking.
The French, when they wish COLO
quially to refer to something that does
not exist, use the phrase ian army pen
sioner with an artificial head"-much
as we speak of the "horse Marines" or
as, on the Continent, of "Swiss ad
miral." But there has now been found
something very like The frst.named phe-
nomenon, for in village near Lille
Moreau, who was a hero on the French
side of the war of 1870.
In action he was wounded by she'll
which exploded right in his face. He
was cared for by the surgeons, who were
much astonished to find him still alive
at the end of four days. Nothing re-
manned uninjured of his face but the
forehead and jaw. An operation was
performed, and no fewer than IS pieces
of bone were taken out of the wounded
part. A wax max was resorted to to
hide the hideous cavity in his face. Mo
reau recovered and for years piled the
government with petitions to be supplied
with platinum mask, which he at last
got some ten years ago. 1t answers well
