Washington Park track, which WEI
closed three years since as the joint re-
suit of crusade again st certain
class of its frequenters and the pass
age by the legislature OF the anti
bookmaking law, threw open its gates
again today to the thoroughbreds and
the general public for the running OF
the twelfth renewal of the world fam
GUS American Derby.
Great though all its predecessors, it
is doubtful even if the memorable
Worlds Fair derby will eclipse this
one in point of interest, either from q
racing or spectacular point of view.
All the morning the drives of the
boulevard leading to Chicago's famous
race course have been thronged with
vehicles of all kinds and descriptions.
All the morning pedestrians have been
elbowing their way through the gates
in order to be sure of q good seat from
which to view the grand struggle OF

people will witness the great event If

GREAT FIRE.
The Great Western DiStillery
Struck BY Lightning.

PEORIA. Ills, June Pin the
midst of a terrific thunder storm this
morning, the Great Western distillery,
the largest in the world, with one ex-
cepsion, was struck by lightning and
was instantly enveloped in flames.
Lightning struck the south tower, and
in an instant the flames appeared in all
parts of the huge structure.
Forty men employed in the building
had to flee for their lives. The last
act of the fremen was to open the
doors of the battery of % boilers, then
they had to run, leaving their cloth
ing and personal effects behind them.
Soon after the immense alcohol
tanks blew up with terrific effect. It
looked at that time as If the whole
immense plant was doomed, but the
fire department succeeded in saving
the bonded warehouse, in which large
quantities of barreled spirits are
the department also saved the
cattle sheds.
The loss will approximate half a

ATTEND TO THE CHILDREN.

We wish to emphasize the impor-
tapca of needing the suggestions con-
tanned in the following article, which
we clip from an exchange:
Parents should put themselves on
double duty as a vigilance committee
when their children are in school. AS
the dangers increase the guards should
by all g be strengthened. Open
eyes and listening ears will discover
much as to what children are learning
in school outeida of text books. Their
conversation should be closely studied
and carefully analysed, for the reason
that it often, if not always, reveals the
chara ter of their associates and the
bent Of their inclination. One dose of
prevention is worth more than a whole
course Of hospital treatmen to cure.
When children give evidence that they
are imbibing wrong ideas Of life and
character, they should be diligently
taught and drilled out of the errors to-
ward which they are tending. In no
case should a boy o. girl be encouraged,
or ave permitted, to cultivate a school
chum relationship with any one who
is not strictly honest and honorable in
character. No amount of other good
qualities can atone for the presence Of
one real bad trait in the character Of a
boy or girl when it come to the close
relationship of school mate association.
Bad company is always worse than
none. IT boys and girls cannot be
made to see the evil and danger of as
sociating with and admiring dishonest,
OF even dishonorable, people, it will be
very difficult, il not impossible, to save
them from the ruin of an unworthy
career and character through life.

HOW THE YANKEES FOUND TAR
RIVER.

There is really and truly a Tai river
in North Carolina, but some folks will
not believe it. An old Johnny Reb
sends the following story of how the
Yankees found it: "When the Con-
tederates evacuated Washington, N.
c., they rolled l. 900 barrels of tar and
~turpentine into the river at Taft's
store, and two months later q steam
boat, with 400 Yankee prisoners going
from Salisbury to Washington to be
exchanged, tied up at the warf to Let
the boys battle. They stirred up the
tar on the bottom of the river and
were smeared with it from head TO
foot. When we came upon them each
man had his rations of meat in one
hand and a small stick in the other,
scraping and greasiag for dear life.
Hello, boye! What's the matterG''

we haven't found Tar river at last; the

THE YOUNG PORTUGUESE.

While Mr.. Lowrie, in another column
expresses the opinion that the Portu-
guese may do well on the plantations,
he does not explain why they steadily
get away from them. Nor does he seem
TO be aware of the great changes in
character of the Portuguese people.
The majority of Portuguese immi-
grants could not read or write. Within
16 years only $500 children OF these
immigrants have been born here, have
had fairly good food, the best Of eli

are forced to associate more or less
with the Asiatics. They are subject to
