CITY Will BE DEPoPULATED.
Picnics and Outing, and River Ex-
cursions VIII BE the Order of the
Day-The Day Was Ushered i'm Az
ter a Very Noisy Fashion-SpeciaI
Features of the Days Celebration.

This is Independence Day, and to the
average citizen it will be more or less
glorious Fourth, as everybody and
his brother has made arrangements
for some sort of celebration. Police
men, flremen, and the much abused
newspaper men will not participate in
the joys of the day, but they are
magnanimous lot of individuals and
can derive pleasure from observation
"a habit which has been acquired
through long and patient practice.
The day was ushered in after the
noisy fashion Of Americans whose pat
riotism takes pyfotechnic tinge upon
this holiday. Throughout the city, and
particularly on Market street from
Twelfth to the creek, there was a con-
slant din from ten o'clock until after
one this morning, caused by the ex-
plosion of giant crackers, the firing of
improvised cannons, and other more or
less approved methods of almost liter
ally burning up money. One Greek
fruit merchant amused himself by
placing Jaxon crackers in boxes of an
cient CONNECTIONS, distributing candy
all over the street by this method The
stores in the business section enjoyed
brisk demand for fireworks, but there
have been days preceding the Fourth
which were much more noisy.
The early observers will enjoy a
good nights rest and will be astir
early. II this be not true it should
be. Then will come the exodus to the
country and towns in which there will
be more elaborate celebrations than in
Wheeling. A big crowd went up on
the Urania last night to Steubenville.
Many went out to St. Clairsville, and
hundreds will participate in the fire.
ment S outing at Martins Ferry.
There will be no necessity to go
away from home in search Of recre-
alton, however, as there will be an
abundance of it in the outings in this
vicinity. They will be SO numerous
that the city will be almost depopulat-
ed during the afternoon and evening.
All the offices in the city building will
be closed the postoff1ce force will OBJ
serve holiday hours, factories have
suspended operation, business houses
will be closed, there will be nothing
doing" in the tonsorial parlors, and
generally the day will be given up to
enjoyment.

cuss and fight like wild ones, but neither of them has any hard and fixed rules. There's no riding master to help either of them out it's just a triumph of Mir. Bronco Busters genius for riding, over MT. Broncos genius for bucking. They get to be great friends-sometimes. Just as soon horse and rider establish an intelligent understanding they become as fond of each other as boon companions. The horse becomes a pet, and will answer his masters whistle as faithfully a
 dog.
 Of course there are many different na- lures among horses as there are among
 men. There are wicked horses, as there are wicked men, but l believe much fewer.
 A horse is very sensitive to the control and ability of his rider, and if he is badly
 managed he will take advantage any time.
 There is no better advice I can give to any man who wants to ride than to tell him to use as much sense as his i.orse. You can't have anything better than good horse sense. There's not much park riding out west, because the western pony has style of his own that makes man on his back sit up just the same. No rider in the west hangs on to the bridle reins so as to keep his balance in the saddle.
 No rider in the west yanks the horses mouth to turn corner. All western horses are bridle-wtse The slightest pressure of the knee, or a mere tip of the brdle rein on the pony's neck, wheels him round in flash. l The curb bit is never used, except to control a horse.
 l I don't know anything about park riding from personal experience, but I cannot inn agine anything more uncomfortable than l a pigskin saddle, Q short stirrup and an English trottng horse for man who had to ride for duty or pleasure. The United States cavalrymen have adopted the western horse and rider as representing the best kind of riding in the world. Nearly all recruits in the United States cavalry are taught to ride in one of the western cavalry posts, where the bronco and the prairies give him all the practice and all the room he wants

And yet the piece Is so well written and Is so thoroughly natural that one accepts 1t without question, and the melodramatic features do not strike one until he sits down to think it all over after returning from the theater. AS a simple melodrama the plot would be too funny for anything.
 RAPID ACTION.
 Such a wistful maiden as that of the play ought never to have been allowed to graduate from the nursery, but the effect is very different when seen on the stage. for in the play the spectator is hurried from one elaborate scene to another, and as the cast is not bad and the staging re- markedly brilliant, the spectators find themselves so thrilled by the incidents of the piece that they are often reused to the most spontaneous outbursts of appreciation and enthusiasm.
 To fully appreciate the features that naturally produce such a result it is nec- essary to witness the production, for no description would give an adequate idea of the intensely interesting character of the scenes. For instance, when Lady Cros- by visits the art exhibition and sees the face of her daughter on the body of a nymph the opportunities for clever work are boundless, and when this daughter ap- pears unheralded upon the stage of the music hall the situation is exciting enough to appeal to the most critical.
 For some time past it has been the gen. eral opinion that the melodrama had been relegated to the cheap theater but during the past season the New York audiences have proved that this theory was incor- rect.
 During this season many pieces have ap- peared and have been retired because they did not meet with the necessary popular approval, but in each case the ''relegated" play has been one of the so-called modern productions. The few melodramas that have been presented have met with im- mediate approval, and those who cast their influence in favor of the more elegant pro- duction must have had their eyes opened by the record of the season that Is just drawing to a close.

THE BEST WAY ID 1
 RIDE A HORSE
Buffalo Bill Declares Riding is a Gift and Cannot be
 Learned.
"BY BUFFALO BILL. !"

Riding is gift. It's born in you or it isn't and it won't take you long to find out if you can keep your seat.'
 Nearly every one thinks he can ride a horse, belief that leads to a great deal of trouble sometimes.
 It is a good deal easier for some people to run an automobile.
 In the far west, where the glorious prairies meet the sky line, man doesn't have to take lessons in riding.
 These prairies are the great riding schools of the world. Ranches are some fifty miles apart, and every little shaver who is old enough to walk, almost, jumps on horseback and takes to it the east ern lad takes to swimming
 It's born in him. All his ancestors were horsemen, and he doesn't have to learn what's in the blood.
 When he gets old enough he becomes a cowboy, and then he gets his first COW outfit.
 A COW outfit is a string of range ponies- about fifteen or twenty~of them-and he rides them, alternately, as the days come around.
 They don't get enough riding to take the spunk out of them, and they're always true to the bucking instinct of the bronco.
 The best way I know of to learn how to keep your seat is to get variety of seats, SuCn as the COW OuIHl OlIeTS tne cOWDOy.
 If you've got the gift of riding you'll soon learn the knack of getting so firm a seat that horse and rider seem to be made in one piece. If you haven't got the gift the bronco will promptly prove it to you.
 The greatest rider in the world is the "bronco-buster."
 He is the man who meets the wild horse of the west or southwest and james him for practical service corrals the horse, ropes him with his iariat. gets blanket on his back, then a saddle, then a bridle, and mounts him.
 Then he does bit of riding that has astonshed the world
 The best show-ring rider on earth would be lost on the hurricane deck of bucking bronco. The bronco-buster is not particu- lar about style, neither is the bronco, and it's dead earnest fight for supremacy be- tween horse and man.
 Neither of them has had any lessons in riding but they gather a whole heap of information about one another in short acquaintance.
 MT. Bronco gets pretty mad, and MT Bronco Buster tells him in plain language what he thinks of him, and they snort and

4 MELODRAMA
 THAT IS POPULAR.
Why the Public Like to Witness Pieces That Appeal to
 the Eye.
BY AMELIA BINGHAM.

If there ever was a right-down, regular melodrama it is Hearts are Trumps" and yet there are few plays that have been produced in New York this season that have met with such instant or more con- tinued success. The secret of it all is that the people who patronize the theater like to witness just such pieces They may turn their noses up at Bowery plays with which mother would never have approved in which every one is interested. There is wlstful maiden, who in all her inno- cence does things flor mothers sake of if her advice had been solicited, This their blood and thunder adjuncts, and yet if the truth be known it is just such char acteristics that strike a responsive chord in the popular heart
 Men and women of education and refine ment might not appreciate the crude pro- auctions of the Bowery theaters, but a similar production in first class house re- ceives their full approval All the rough

 edges have been smoothed off without the loss of any of the customary melodramatic adjuncts, and, as the result, they give to it the praise that, as boys and girls, they O the WoodS.''
 It cannot be denied that "Hearts Are Trumps' is a melodrama, and yet it is one of the most finished productions of that lavished upon such productions as Nick class that has been placed upon the Ameri- can stage in many a day.
 It appears to the eye, it tells story which proceeds with unflagging interest and which at times plays most strongly upon the emotions, and there can be no question but that it has been well received by the large audiences that have witnessed it. To compare it with such productions as Quo Vadis' or Ben Hur" would be farcical, and yet its success has been no less as great
 In Hearts Are Trumps' there is a story mother in the play, Lady Winifred Crosby, is woman with a past and present.
 In the "nast' she is turned out into the snow with her child in her arms In the 'present" he one ambition is to properly fill the social position to which Fate has elevated her. She Is woman without lovers and without sentiment. For time the maiden in the play Is recognized her ward, but at last the force of circum- stances is such that she identifies her as her daughter-and the plot works it's way through countless intricacies.
 Another character in the piece that was a favorable position in the hearts of the audience is the music hall singer who does so much to befriend the heroine and who gives her the long-looked for opportunity to appear upon the stage While she is considerable of bounce and has bolster ousness to spare, there is that one touch of nature about her character that wins instant sympathy from those who witness the production.
 And then of course, there is the villain. This time the hateful individual is a money

lender. who borrows money for the mother, taking as security a policy of insurance on the life of the daughter. AS the natural conseuIence he plots to bring about the maiden's death.
 As the counter influence there is an ath- letic young curate who loves the girl and is loved by her in return. For several scenes he eXerts a guardian's care over her, and just as the william is about to kill her by projecting her over an Alpine chasm he leaps across the yawning abyss and swings her eever to the other side on a rope, while the william is buried by an ava lanche in the very grave which he had selected for ais victim.
