4 VTFE;S I1K<ICTTCL TACT,

The truth of the old saying that
Every cloud has u silver lining'' is
brought out with rare appropriate
ness in an incident of Hawthorne's
life which is quoted Miss G. E. Burke,
in her little volume, The Value of
Life" TO illustrate what she calls
"woman's exquisite and subtle
common sense" The incident has
been told often, but will stand telling
again:
"One wintry day he had received
notice that his services would no
longer be required at his office.
Weary and downcast. he returned
to his humble home. His young wife
stood waiting for him, and noticed at
once that something was wrong. He
told her his troubles. Straightway
the brave little woman with her own
hands kindled Il bright fire; fetched
pen, ink and paper, which she set be-
side him; then, with beaming face,
she touched the sad man on the
shoulder and said, Now you can write
your book Immediately the cloud
cleared, and things presented them
selves to Hawthorne under changed
aspect. He felt a freed man; the
office appeared as cage from which
he had escaped. The Scarlet Letter
was written, and proved q marvellous
success: and fame rewarded Haw-
tnOrDe and the brave little wife who
had faced the cloud and found it's
silver liuinrh

The fat mans race was the most
novel feature of the day, and to say
it was laughable, is placing it mild
ly. Fatty Albe1ts, the champion
of fat men, did not run so very fast,
but in justice to him, he ran a
strong race and took second place.
1t was, in true sense, an old
time Fourth. Everybody was well
pleased, and expressed themselves
as having thoroughly enjoyed the
day.
The late trains and boats took
away a tired, but we'll pleased
crowd. Many people remained in
the city to witness the fireworks
display, which was magnificent.
They were put off from the hill
overlooking the town from the
southeast. Some few casualties
resulted, but of small moment. A
rocket was sent clear across the city
to lower Water street, where it
passed through window, striking
a lady, burning her about the face
severely. Frank Hockinberry was
also badly burned about the hands
and face while assisting in setting
off torpedo.
Everything advertised was car
ried out strictly to the letter, with
the exception of the balloon ascen-
sion and that can not be charged to
the committee.
A contract was signed by a fellow
representing hinselfan aeronaut at
the time preparations for a celebra
ton were inaugurated. To say the
committee was chagrined at their
disappointed does not express it.
However, the other attractions
afforded ample amusement and no
one seemed to care whether there
was a balloon ascension or not.
This morning the streets bore
evidence of a demonstration. The
people, too, look as though they
were fatigued, but say, Wasn't it
glorious Fourth"

Most Successful Celebration in the

by everybody. Business was sus'
pended, and the day was spent in
rejoicing, not alone over what our
forefathers long ago accomplished,
but the unparalleled victories of our
present heroes were substantially
remembered.
The celebration began early.
During the day the people were
reminded that the great natal day
was near by an occasional boom Of
the cannon, crackers and other
explosives fred by thoughtless men
and boys. At midnight everybody
was suddenly aroused from their
slumbers by the believing Of the
guns of Company B, Sistersvllle
light artillery. This was followed
by a storm Of fireworks Of every
imaginable description until the
night was made hideous and the
uproar was deafening. This was
continued until the sultry July air
was so filed with birthstone that it
was next to impossible to breathe.
The gentle rain of the wee morning
hours tended to cool the heated
atmosphere and the day was there
by made pleasant.
Early in the morning people be-
gan decorating and vast crowds
began f1ocking in from the sur
rounding country. Tie early boats
and trains brought many, visitors
and at 10 O'Clock the town pre-
scented circus day air.
The news Of SIMPSONS super
human feat in crushing the Spanish
squadron inspired the thoroughly
enthusiastic crowd until they
cheered themselves hoarse.
The bands struck up the national
airs at s o'clock, parading the sew
eral principal thoroughfares, fol-
lowed by an immense procession
eager to see and hear everything
that passed.
People began assembling on the
street corners and sidewalks as
early as 9 o'clock waiting for the
parade. Their wait, however, was
long and tiresome as the parade
was delayed owing to request
from Bellaire fremen to hold it un-
til their arrival.
It was I o'clock when the steamer
Eloise hove IN sight with a crowd
of 400 people. Her cabin and decks
were seething mass of humanity,
and beside this she was towing two
large barges equally full of people.
At 1870 o'clock the parade began.
It was formed at the corner of Main
and Charles streets and marched all
over the city. The German Lime
stone band, the Sistersville City
band. the Middlebourne band, the
Junior Order United American Me-
chanics band and city drum corps
furnished music for the magnificent
procession.
The parade was disbanded and
the visitors repaired to the hotels
and restaurants for refreshments.
The afternoon was taken up with
the dedication of the w. G. 7. U.
fountain, races, striking machines,
and other means of entertainment
and amusement. The Woman's
Christian Temperance Union gave
a benefit dinner in the city hall
which Melted them over one hun
dred dollars.
The crowd numbered thousands,
and considering the size, the best
of order prevailed. During the
day the police was efficient. A
few fights occurred later in the
evening, but these small disturb.

THE SAME OLD STORY.

A very small "truant" was hauled
up before the District Magistrate
this morning after having spent
some hours among the old offenders
in the docket of the Police Court.
The youngster was crying in pitiful
manner when brought before the
judge, to whom he finally admitted
that he wouldn't go to the Royal
School because the boys "iooled"
him. He was ordered to go home
and to school, where all remember
ing the natural cruelty of boys will
realize that he will find torture and
hell, and receive his first terse
lecture in pessimism. Will no one
in our honorable Legislature take
up the truancy laws and suggest
some amendment which will give to
the poor children a chance at least?
Where is Gear, Atkinson, Paris,
Kahaulelio and the other "legisla-
tive" schoolmates?

Judge Peterson is very young, and
we should suggest that it would
have been better form on his part
to impose the sentences of the edi-
tors without making comments
which will certainly be misunder-
stood. We are somewhat familiar
with the English language, aud be-
lieve we can follow the ideas and ex-
pressions of the part-Hawaiian
judge. We can only interpret the
language of the magistrate in one
way, and that is that The INDEPEND-
ENT has "annoyed" the Lihue plan
tation, and that therefore severe"
punishment has to be meted out.
