celebrated their emancipation. The crowd
was the most orderly ever seen and speaks
we'll of the moral advancement Of the

have attended celebrations of this kind in
former years attributable either to hard
times or to the scarcity Of watermeions at
the present time.
The waterworks company today opened
their cold storage apartment TO the trade
and the beer houses have begun to transfer
their kegs into cooler quarters. wagon
