Fling its folds to the breeze, in the glory of
old
Its struggles and triumphs, how oft
they've been told;
Through the vista OF years. far, far through
we see,
1t hath ever waved thus. proud, stainless.
and free.
Ne'er since twas first kissed by the
Zephyr's soft breath,
Till the last soldier hero embraced it in
death,
Has its honor been tarnished; its cause
ever Just,
Ne'er has it dropped conquered nor
traIlcd in the dust.
Then bear it aloft to new heights OF fame.
With fresh wrcaths of glory entwine il,
your name

valiant host,
Bleeding, suffering, dying IN on Cuba's
fair coast.
Oh dear, still more dear, to our hearts
And we kiss thy soft folds, Ger thee low
ingly bow;
Fen Just but fresh bathed in the blood of
the brave,
Proud, glorious banner, long, long may',t
thou wave
And oh, may the great God of armies i'll
love
Shower blessings unceasing, untold, fir ON
above
On the flag of the brave who fight for the
right,
On the blue and the gray heroes 50 strong
in their might.
May He nerve the strong arms, for the
cause it is just,
And steel the brave hearts in whose honor
we trust:
And may plying angels in Heaven e'er
weep,
As we furI the bright banner DER heroes
who sleep.

ated from it at the ends of long white satin streamers. On the star was a dis mounted cannon, also crystalliZed, on which was perched dove, while taking flight from the mouth of the Silenced engine of war were five more doves, bearing in their beaks letters forming the word Peace The girls were dressed in white from head to foot and wore doves on their heads.
 The advance" was not sounded until after Il o'clock, when the last parlor had taken its station. At that hour the streets along the line of march were literally packed with people, how many no mortal could estimate with any de- gree of accuracy. Besides the thous- ands from the bay cities, the Sacra- mento, San Joaquin, Santa Clara, Pa Jaro and Salinas valleys, Santa Cruz and other coast points sent contingents. The mountain regions, too, had their representatives by hundreds, so when 1t IS said there were many, many thouS- andS of spectators in addition to the thousands in the procession that is as near as one can come to the number of people here to-day
 The advance formed on Seventh street and Santa Clara avenue. At the signal Grand Marshal W. A. Gaston, mounted on handsome horse, started down the broad avenue with his chief of staff. H. M. N. Spring, and Chief Aid D. c. Martin. Following rode these aids: Neil A. McConaghy, H. l. Mulcreavy. s. A. Hopkins, c. A. Policeman, T. C. Hogan, A. J. Hart, A. R. Underwood. H. F. Butts, T. w. Lenzen, A. l.. Nor genstern, W. A. Miller, L. w Juillard, F. Mordecai J. D. Barry. Next came the inevitable string of carriages con- taining the grand president and officers and orators of the day.
 The first division was marshaled by P. E. Zabala, with Ben Davis and A. J. Johnson as aids. The Fifth Regiment band escorted the grand officers of the Native Sons O. the Golden West and district deputy grand presidents in car riages. California Parlor No. l, with it's banner at the head with the Stars and Stripes and the Bear flag, the members carrying Japanese parasols and re- splendent in regalia. closed this divis- ion.
 The second section was probably the

inforcement to Oakland Parlor, but the Native Sons arriving late could not get into line. The train consisted of six teen coaches, but so many freight trains were encountered on the way that the passengers did not get here until the train leaving San Francisco at 9:15 a. m. was due. In order to reach their destination in time to participate in the procession many of the Oakland CTS abandoned the narrow-gauge at the Southern Pacific junction near Santa Clara and came on the broad track.
 Among the spectators there is only one opinion regarding the procession of Native Sons and Daughters. It was the general comment that the parade was beautiful and highly creditable and that in many features of attraction 1t surpassed any preceding display under the auspices of the order.
 The. Native Daughters surely ac- quired distinction for beauty individu- ally and collectively, and marched in style that comma ahded admiration.
 So many of the parlors of the Native Sons paraded in praiseworthy form and exhibited taste and originality in cos tune that 1t may seem unfair to select two or three for special recognition, but the fact exists that Palo Alto and Ob- servatory Par1ors won from the throng of spectators many tokens of admira- tion. The Palo Alto Sons wore white hats of soft felt and becoming white suits. The Observatory paraders wore white trousers and blue coats. The badges of each parlor were beautiful in design and costly in material.

 Stockton Parlor Native Sons and Joa- quin Parlor Native Daughters were es- pecially active in this respect. All day long they kept onen house and danc- ing was continually in progress. The Stockton Native Sons will attend a bullshead breakfast in a body to-mor- row morning, and in the afternoon will go to Alum Rock. They will return to Stockton in the evening.
 Sequoia Parlor is entertaining at Bel lolfs Hall, and merry throng is en- toying itself. The following are the officers of the parlor: President, J. s. Ward: first vice-president, H. T.

~ AN JOSE, Sept. 9.-It seemed last
 night as though everybody in
 the State was here. That is an \ J error; only half the population
 was here over night; the other
 half arrived on the early morning trains, which were run in two or more sections. Of course the parade was the attrac ction, and needless to say the streets were filled with sightseers at an early hour; they had not, by any means, been deserted at any time dur ing the hours of darkness.
 AS for the procession, 1t surpassed anything ever seen In San Jose, and, in- deed, it has seldom been exceeded in San Francisco. The Native Sons have given many brilliant pageants, but that of Admission day, 1898. will stand for years as the most gorgeous review of the youth of California on record.
 But why give credit to the Native Sons? They were of secondary consid- eration. The Native Daughters made it the splendid success 1t was. There were hundreds of them in line, a few on horseback, some in carriages, but most of them were on foot. Their III WdlhiIlS lllc IOdlC Ol the procession, a distance of several miles, was admired no less than their beauty. Of course they were beautiful who could imagine an ordinary look ing Native Daughter-but really the girls in line to-day were unusually pretty even for California girls.
 It would be difficult to select the most attractive parlor of Daughters; 1t would be impossible to choose be- tween them in the matter of beauty. Perhaps La Estrella Parlor of San Francisco excited the most comment because of the beautiful and fitting emblem of peace the members carried In the parade. This was the only at tempt made by any of the parlors in the way of floats, and La Estrella was greeted with prolonged cheers along the entire line of march. The emblem, which was fully described in The Call several days ago, was an immense six pointed crystallized star, carried by as many members. while the others radi-

 California Parlor and Buena Vista Parlor, Native Daughters of the Golden West, are conducting joint receptions at Druids' Hall, while two Piedmont parlors are at Phelan Hall. These places are both crowded and nothing but merriment and cheer prevails.
 The same order prevails all over the city. Alcatraz Parlor is at Hale Hall, Mantle at the Auzerals House, Pre- cita Parlor at Rutherford Hall, Olym- pus at I. B. $. Hall.

STRUCK BY TRAIN.
MexlCan's Thigh Broken But He
Was Not Otherwise Injured.

Francisco Robolcado, Mexican and
resident of Towne, while driving q
load of wood across the railroad
track at point somewhere between
MOntoya and COurchesne, was struck
by numb Der thirty-three regular freight,
and had his thigh broken.
The accident occurred about six
o'clock this morning.
Robolcado was driving q pair OF bur
ros to an old wagon and as the morn
ing was quite chilly he had q blanket
closely wrapped about his head, and
evidently did nOt1hear the approaching
train. Both burros were killed out
right and Robolcado was hurled some
distance in front of the train.
He was brought to Ell Paso this
morning and taken to the county hos
pital.
DR.. Villas, when seen by represen-
tative of the HERALD, said that while
the mans thigh was broken, he was
not otherwise seriously injured.
Employees of the Santa Fe say that
when the man was brought to the city
this morning, he did not apparently
know the extent of his injury as he
calmly smoked cigarettes and did not
evidence any pain.

GEORGE WASHINGTON LEE.
He Is Now at Dallas. Texas.

George Washington Lee, one of the
parties negotiating with the citizens
committee to build the electric rail-
way, who left here December Is, has
been heard from by persons in this
city. He is now at Dallas.
Lee will doubtless not return to El
Paso soon as the postoffice authorities
charge that he used the mails for
fraudulent purposes and now have q
large number of letters containing
money, which are addressed to Lee. but
are being held by the postmaster
awaiting instructions from the depart
ment.
Lee engaged to sell Hubbard g.
Company of this city q car lead of eggs
at q reduced price: he wired from Dsl-
las yesterday announcing that the
price agreed upon. His Dallas address
is Alb Wood street.
George Washington Lee or Leigh,
has had q remarkable career. He has
travelled all over Europe, Australia,
and America, and If reports be true has
relied constantly on his wits for .
living.
He turned up at Prescott, Arizona,
last fall and represented himself as the
posed to buy the Little Jessie'' mine
for 100000
His supreme nerve worked magic
with the towns people and every man
there became his friend. He
took the mine on trial for q few
months and sunk about $500. therein.
Things did not pan out as Lee had ex-
pected. He could not raise funds. His
creditors were clamor0us and some of
the workmen threatened to blow him
up with dynamite. One night he skip
cd ont and oou,o IN I'll Doso horo ho
hoodwinked the citizens com mittee.
Mr.. Maggi met Lee at Prescott and
afterwards employed him on a salary
40 his agent. He knew nothing about
Lees conduct here. Lee left Ell Paso
without telling Mr.. Maggi of his inten-
tions or bidding him farewell.
Lee swindled the public by sdvertis-
ing that he wanted agents at q s35
weekly salary ard proposed to mail
them samples, ETC., for 35c. 1t is said,
that he reaped q rich harvest in this
manner and many letters to bis address
are now at the post Office unclaimed.
Lee also established q collecting
agency, was life insurance agent and
an egg dealer. He proposed to sell
Kansas City eggs in Ell Paso ut lower
price than they can be bought In Kan
sas City. He said Kansas City firm
owed him and agreed to pay the debt
in eggs.
Some time ago the HERALD wired
it's Prescott, Arizona, correspondent
for something concerning Lees con-
nection with the Little Jessie mine.

Fort Davis last Wednesday. Price and
Mulhern met in Hawthornd's beer
saloon few days after the November
election aud quarrel ensu-
ed. Mulhern was feeling sore
on account of being the only one of
all the old JEFF Davis county
officers who failed to be reelected. He
had been drinking little, but Price
was perfectly sober 1t seems that
Mulhern was not expecting an attack,
as Price fired three shots before Null

revolvers were empty. Muihern was
shot through the body and expired q
few hours later. Price received
small wound.
