TOMBSTONE'S FOURTH
A GRAND BARBECUE AND PATRI-
 OTTO ADDRESSES.
Allen English Furnished the cx for
 the ceeasi0n.-ElOquenee of George

Although mary of Tombstone's cih- zens ce.eDrated the Fourth at Blsbee and Douglas, Tombstone did herself pround and maintained her previous good name for patriotic demonstra- tions, says the Prospector.
 Attorney A. K. English took the ini uiatiye by donating the wherewithal for a barbecue. An OK was slaught- cred and put on the gridiron near the city hall; tables erected and with con diments. bread. pies, cakes, etc, the feast was fit for king and sufficient to feed a small army.
 The aroma arising from the pit was an incentive for the entire populace to finger in the vicinity of the feast ground. and at o'clock a banquet began, preceded. however, by patriotic addresses. Judge English was the first speaker of the day, who held the audience spell-bound while he re- counted our historical beginning from the time of the landing of the Pill grim Fathers up to the time that Senator Beyeridge delivered that solar plexus blow that stunted our statehood growth but failed to dwarf our as pirations.
 Judge Granville Johnson was called for. and upon his mounting the ros- trum was cheered lustily, the audience realizing that a treat in oIatory await ed them. and in this they were not disappointed, for the judge was in his happiest mood and handled his subject in a masterly manner, eliciting well merited applause.
 Judge ". c. Miller responded to a call. and in an easy, graceful style en- tertained the audience with a five minute oration The address was a masterly one. replete with patriotic expressions intersperseG with timely suggestions for the youth and lauda- ton for those who conceived a new and free country, paying tribute to the hero who fell in defense of Old Glory. Judge Miller made a stirring address, whose every utteTance inspired one to patriotic impulses and imbued Young America with a knowledge of his free dom and independence, a knowledge which youchsafes the preservation of the nag and the honor of the greatest nation on earth. The peroration was well received and highly commented upon.
 Judge George Neale, without whom there would have been little mirth. caused the exercises to glide by most rapidly Tn his inimitable manner he would cause the audience to weep while he recounted the vicisitudes of oRF forefatheFs, portraying the hard ships endured by the MayhoweT crew as it sailed the tempestuous seas te freedom and independence; he eulo- gized the nations pioneers and paid tribute to Arizona's early settlers some Of whom pared their hoary heads 10 the suaye orator who told of their valiant deeds and unselfish devotion to the upbuilding of great common wealth. But" said Judge Neale you have done something else; you invaded this sun-cursed land ahead of ns; you felled the only tree under which one could bask in loneliness and forgetfulness of why he came west; you have annihilated the quail upon which we are wont to barquet; you have spit the fuse that tore our noun tains asunder, the echo of which has driven the jack-rabit from the plain and here we are today feasting at the expense of Allen English's generosity clearing our threats with that delicious beverage so kindly donated by Messrs
 Madden, Wentworth and Mars, and | wishing that the end were not; gentle men, we would live in this inspiring atmosphere forever, but time grows apace. and as yonder sun sinks in the | horizon betake me once more tc the spigot and drink health to you and
 thine"
