Are They Worthy of Their sires ?

Are Americas Sons Worthy of Their Sires?' was the interesting and patriotic subject of a lecture delivered last even- ing by the Rev. J. Stephens before a large congregation at the Simpson Memorial Episcopal Church, of which he is pastor. The preacher drew a well defined parallel between the revolutionary and the pres ent war. closely linking the soldier of to- day with the soldier of '76. In the course of the lecture the preacher touched upon the subject of Independence Day, out i1nlng the necessity of a universal cele- bration of the nations natal day.
 Seldom, if ever.' he said, will the nation see such demonstration of patri- otism as will be held tomorrow through out the entire Union. We are just be- ginning to realize the meaning of the Dec laratlon of Independence, and understand the principles upon which it is founded. AS we look back to the time when the English yoke of oppression was cast aside and remember the framers of the national constitution, that noble product of those colonists from the Old World, we are as- sisted in realizing more fully the mean ing Of the revolution, and the principles upon Which the constitution is based by a contrast of the governmental crisis of that period with the national crisis of to- day.
 Immediately after the sermon patri- ot1c song service was rendered by the choir, the chorus of the national hymns being sung by the congregation

Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, July 3.-The situation be- tween the striking stereotypers and the publishers of Chicago remains practi- cally unchange-, and probably no Chi cago paper will publish before Tuesday morning, at the earliest
 The publishers had a conference this afternoon, when it appeared that the number of stereotypers on the way from various parts of the country was very satisfactory. It was determined, however, that no attempt to issue to- morrow would be made. The publish CTS are confident that by tomorrow evening they will be sufficiently well equipped to resume publication Tues day, but with the papers somewhat re- duced in size.
 A committee from the Pressmen's Union waited on the publishers to-day, asking for an opportunity to act as a committee of conciliation, but the pub fishers refused absolutely to have any thing to do with the StereotyperS' Union in any way hereafter, declaring that none of it's members would be per mitted to work in any of their offices again.
 A special train from Milwaukee, over the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road, came in tonight bringing extra editions of Milwaukee evening papers to partially supply the demand of read CTS. The run was made In one hour and thirty-hve minutes, nearly mile a minute, and the papers were disposed of to eager citizens almost as soon as they appeared on the street.

WAR NEWS AT THEATERs.
Sampson and the First California
 Enthusiastically Cheered.

The news of Sampson's demolition of Cerveras fleet was received with wild enthusiasm at the theaters. The Calls bulletins were read from the various stages and caused intense excitement.
 At the Chutes there were over a thou sand soldiers in the audience and when the announcement of the glorious vic tory was received the boys in blue howled themselves hoarse. They threw their caps in the air, hugged each other and danced around in a maddened enthusiasm.
 At the California Theater an Ameri- can flag was lowered from the flies with Sampson's portrait attached, and Miss Minnie Dreyfous sang the Star Spangled Banner" from the gallery. The audience arose and joined in the chorus, which was led by Rhys Thom- as. the Uncle Tom" of the cast.
 The Orpheum and Moroscos were packed and the news caused pande- minimum of delight. At the Tivoli Ed Stevens invited the audience to sing the Star Spangled Banner" and the invitation was eagerly accepted. The patriotic production of Fort Frayne'' at the Columbia was particularly apro- pos and the packed house applauded the news.

FIRE AT FL VENADO.
Destruction of the Entire Village
 Barely Ayerted.

SONOMA, July 3.-The little village of Fl Verano, three miles from here. had a narrow escape from being totally de- stroyed by fire on Friday afternoon. It started in the residence of Mrs Frank Viewers, who at the time was at the home of her father, J. B. Chambers, her mother having died that morning. The house was valued at s3000 and 1t was a total loss. The barn and $500 worth of hay were also burned
 The fire rapidly spread, running in the dry grass and extending over a mile from the place where it began. The people from all around turned out to fight the flames and it was only by the greatest efforts that they saved the remainder of the town and kept the fire from destroying many farm houses and barns of hay and grain.

Overlooked the FlagpoIe.

Although every outward indication to- day will point to general and appro- pirate observance in commemoration of the Union, there are many faults to be considered. T--e members of the Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors whose duty it is to advocate and procure the necessary appropriation for the equip ment of the public parks with flags and negligence or direct motive. The parks that are provided with flags can boast of nothing more than ragged apologies of the national emblem. Jefferson square, which will be in full sight of thousands of pa triotic citizens and strangers of the city will show no evidence of Old Glory. The flag Is there, but covered up and hidden Tn the tool shop for the want of pole on which to erect 1t.
