IN the observance Of "Flag Day, the
United States seems to have been outdone
BY Porto Rico, as the press reports that
come from the latter country show that
the enthusiasm was almost unbounded.
Yesterday was properly Flag Day it
being the 12eth anniversary Of the stars
and stripes, BY Congress, as the national
emblem. Since the observance fell on
sunday all patriotic exercises were held
on the day preceding. There was not a
very general observance Of the anniver-
sary In the United States the country to

Deep in the fragrant woods heard
The summer sing to me,
And all the groves green heart was
stirred
with haunting melody.
SO near she seemed / almost thought
TO see her face and press
The lyric lips whose singing brought
The hour such happiness.
with joy the branches lightly shook
Their leaves to hear her voice.
Her music echoed IN the brook
And made the grass rejoice.
1t thrilled the golden air around
It's rapture moved the bees,
whose hum is heat turned into sound
High IN their honey trees
But not until there fell hush
Did I the secret know
Twas her interpreter, the thrush,
That sasg for summer 50.

Most exquisite and clear,
All summer IN the thrush's throat,

Mas Unloading Iron at Dock
When Boom on St. MiChaalS
Broke
CAPTAIN ESCAPED
Was in the Pilot House when the Heavy
Timber Crashed Through the Roof
Was Assisted to the Deck and DR.. Brace
was Summoned d-AbIe tl Make The Trip
to New York as Usual.

At 4.20 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
while the crew of the steamer st.
Michaels were using the steam hoist
ing boom to unload some iron at the
steamboat dock on Front street, the
main guy rope, which holds the boom
to the spar, broke. The crew was re-
moving the last bundle of iron and
had put about ton and half into
the sling. The word was given to the
engineer to hoist when, with the first
strain, the rope snapped bringing the
boom down with ascrash.
The roof of the pilot house was
smashed and Captain John BRIGGS,
who was in the pilot house at the
time, came near losing his life. The
boom had no sooner struck the pilot
house than the crew began clearing
the wreckage away, while others went
to the aid of Captain BRIGGS. He was
taken out on the upper deck, and DIR.
Brace summoned. After a careful
examination the doctor said the cap
tain was not very badly injured, he
having received few bruises. He
was able to take command of his boat
on the last trip and as soon as the
wreckage was cleared awav, the boat
started on her trip to New York.
When the boom of the st. Michaels
went crashing through the pilot house
a team of horses attached to a heavy
wagon, belonging to the O. Pardee
Steel plant, became frightened at the
noise and dashed wildly up the steam
boat dock to Front street. When
turning into the street the heavy
wagon struck one Of the posts on
Hartman's porch and knocked it down.
The iron railing around the porch
was also badly damaged. The horses
turned into Smith street but the hill
was too much for them and they were
caught before any more damage was
done.

BAND REORGANIZED;
MEETS EVERY WEEK.
Members now Number Eight and
More are Expected to Join
No Concerts in Sight.

The band has now been reorganized
and the members are practising every
Wednesday night at Hartman S Hotel.
Eight members have thus far put in
an appearance, but more will join
them shortly. When the players got
together some of the old familiar
tunes pealed forth with remarkably
good time and aroused much enthusi-
asm and renewed interest.
In speaking with one of the mem
bers this morning a News reporter
learned that for the present they have
no idea of giving concerts. 1t could
not be accomplished with eight pieces,
but it was stated that if all of the old
band should get together, concerts
could be given. In the meantime
they will practice every Wednesday
night with the hope that something
will turn up in the near future.

Wilton street. The sheriff and his
son seized him aud quickly landed
him in Jail once more.

NO WATER AT
THE HOSPITAL.
Serious State of Affairs at the
Institution Supply Carted in
Street Sprinkler.
PRESSURE is Low

The scarcity of city water was the
cause of taking the street sprinkler
out of commission day or two ago,
but yesterday the low pressure was
the means of putting it to work again,
but in an entirely different way than
formerly. The pressure has become
so low that no water can be had al
the City Hospital and the sprinkler
was used to cart water to the institu.
tion.
For the past few days the water
pressure has been SO low that it has
been almost impossible to even get Q
half pail full at time, but it reached
a climax yesterday when try as they
would, the people in charge of the
hospital could get no water at all.
President s. r. Harrington, of the
Board of Governors, was notified Of
the state of affairs and he secured the
sprinkler from Edward Dorsey and,
taking team and man from his
own employ, he brought cart load
of water to the relief of the hospital.
Nothing is more necessary at hos
pital than water and the fact that
there is not enough pressure in the
city to force water up there is ser.
ious problem. This also means that
hundreds of people are doing without
city water today.

HOT ASHES
CAUSED FIRE.
James R. SCOTS House in Cor.
den Street was On Fire
Yesterday.
CARPENTERS ON SCENE.

What might have been a serious fire
was brought about yesterday after
noon at the home of James R. Scott,
70 Gordon street, by the servant girl
throwing a pan of hot sashes into
a wooden barrel which was standing
in the back yard close to the kitchen.
1t was discovered by a number of car
penters just as the blaze was making
a little headway ON the kitchen and
was extinguished with much difficulty.
The servant girl had the
fire in the kitchen stove anu,
taking the red hot ashes out into the
yard, threw them into the barrel and
then went into the kitchen and
promptly forgot all about her act.
Meantime the ashes started a small
blaze and gradually it grew larger
until the side of the kitchen was
ablaze.
The carpenters who were working
on building nearby, noticed it and
came over on a run. Two ran into
the house for water, while others
dumped the ashes out of the already
half burned barrel.
A few buckets of water extinguish-
ed the blaze. Several new boards and
some paint will be necessary to repair
damages.

is very near at hand; this one day in
the year which has been so appropri-
ately consecrated to the memory OF
our honored dead. On that day we
will again assemble at the various
cemeteries of our city and gather at
the graves of those who willingly
gave their lives that future genera
tions might enjoy the blessings of a
united government and that liberty,
which is vouchsafed to us under the
stars and stripes of our ever glorious
flag. Let us then come and deck their
graves with tokens of undying friend
ship, and, as we are taught to do,
forget every foible of their nature
that was human and remember only
their virtues and their loyalty to
country and flag.
Very soon other hands will be per-
forming the same offices for us who
now remain. May our work be so
we'll done that we shall merit kind
nesses from those who succeed us.

will assemble at headquarters at 7.30
in full uniform where we will be met
by the Westminster Cadets and escort
ed by them to the First Presbyterian
church to participate in our annual
church memorial service. Memorial
sermon to be preached by Rev. DR..

charged soldiers and sailors are invit-

panied by the Westminster Cadets,
will proceed to st. Peters church

vices will be conducted by the post

through Water street to Smith, where
wagons will be in waiting and all
school children, as far as possible,
will be taken to Alpine and ST. Mary IS
cemeteries and there continue the

Corps will present wreath of flowers
at-each onegof the cemeteries in honor
of the sleeping heroes and furnish IL
little girls, to render chorus entitled
