LAMP EXPLODED.
In Front of Third Floor of Union Hall
 on Orange Street.

In Front of Third Floor of Union Hall on Orange Street
 A kerosene lamp, which was used to
 light up glass sign in one of the front
 windows of the third floor of Union hall
 on Orange street, near Chapel, exploded about o'clock last evening. The sign was made of glass and was several feet long. When the lamp exploded quan- titles of the glass was blown with con- siderable force to the sidewalk and street below. It was very lucky that there was neither pedestrians nor teams passing just at that moment, for had there been some one would likely have been hurt. The two large plate
 glass widows at the rear of the sign were also broken to pieces by the force of the shock. It is believed that the wick of the lamp was turned up to high and that this caused it to explode. The | fire department was summoned from | box No. 21, but on their arrival the fire l had been extinguished. Quick work on the part of Lieutenant Isaacs of No. Is house averted an accident. He rides on | the hose wagon, and as it was on the way to the fire, in going in and out | among some trolley cars part of the l harness became unhitched. He jumped | from his seat while the horses were run ming and snapped the catch, and while | they were going he climbed to his seat again.

 Well, what can do for you?"
 We want an engagement, MT. Bun nell" ..,.
 What can yo do?" said Mr. Bun nell.
 Then there was a pause as the part ners nestled closer together, each brac- ing himself to give the answer. Simul- taneously both answered with an heroic gasp: We can do song and dance aet.'
 Where have you appeared, what press notices have you, and have you a programme with your names on the bill?"
 This was a poser, but, bracing up, Weber said: We want you to give us a chance and see what we can do. Let us go on for single turn at the mati- nee to-day"
 After thinking for some minutes MT.
 Bunnell said: q am always desirous of assisting young beginners. You may appear at the matinee to-day and will see what you are made of. The fateful afternoon came. The two young performers wended their way to
 the theater, were assigned to dressing room and silently each commenced to don his act clothes and await the call boys shout for them to appear for their turn on the stage.
 It was not a long wait, for before they could realize it Weber and Ffelds!" shouted the piping voice of the call boy. They went on the stage, the curtain rose and they commenced their act The little cherub that sits up
 aloft" kept his eye on the young begin-
 ners, and before they had gone half way through their act they received
 rounds of applause.
 MT. Bunnell sat in his private box and watched their performance, and was not long ill detecting true talent in | the newcomers: and at the close ot | their act he sent for them and told them he would give them week en- tgagement, at the end of which he took lthem on tour with his monster aggre- gation of talent that was touring ! through all the big cities. Travelling i'll those days was not as convenient as al the present time, and for the accom- mediation of Weber and Fields and the other members of the company big four-horse team was utilized to take them to MT. Bunnell's theaters in Jer' sey City, Brooklyn and Brighton Beach repeating these visits several times 1T the year; and later on Weber and Fields played engagements at MT. Bun' lnelps Buffalo and New Haven houses. This was the first start these artists had in the amusement line. and from their humble beginning they have now bloomed out as first-class managers and come to play a date with their ole
 friend and patron at the Hyperion this week.

4 RITOF HISTORY.

Weber and Fields. who come with their big star company to the Hyperion tomorrow night, were proteges of G. B. Bunnell, who gave them their first start in theatrical life at his Broadway house in 1880. Weber and his partner, Fields, started out one gloomy morn- ing to look for a job. Cash had run low, and the outlook was anything but bright, when they turned into Broad way and beheld MT. Bunnell's immense sign, The Legitimate Successor of the Great Barnum."
 Say, Joe, let us go in and see Bun nell and work him for an engagement" 7"
 I'm afraid it's no go," responded Lew Fields; he's a pretty hard nut to crack"
 But he gave Neil Burgess date the other week and he did not amount to much. Let's go in and try"
 They entered the building and were met by the faithful cerberus of the gate, the late Dr. Calm, who asked: Well, what you want?"
 They informed him of their errand and received the reply, "Nothings do- ing" They were persistent, however, and at length the genial old guardian relaxed the stringent rule to admit no performers to bother the great show man.
 After a wait that seemed to them centuries they were ushered into the private sanctum of MT. Bunnell, who at

The Campaign Liar.

About this season Of the year, a
few weeks before the primary elec-
tion, look out for the campaign liar
and the stories that he is getting
ready to circulate. He always does
his best work on the eve OF an elec-
tion, and some Of the yarns that he
1nvents and spreads broadcast would
make Baron Munchausen turn green
with envy.
The campaign liar is an irrespon-
sible fellow, a sensationalist, that
may be found in every section. He
usually fights in the dark or behind
an ambush and his identity is hard to
prove.
Soon he will be telling of the com.
bines that have been effected, the
slates made up, and the schemes that
are being hatched.
He will. invent startling stories
about this, that and the other candi
date, and will tell them so plausiblJ
that they will seem to wear the air o.
truth.
Beware of the campaign liar, ant
consider we'll his tales before giving
them credence.- Clarion Ledger.

always trying to hide his own deficien
cies behindthe mistakes of his op

sen. MONEYS NToLERANcE.

Az we have frequently shown, SEN.
Money fs one Of those extreme and
radical characters that cripples his
influence and effectiveness with his
political friends, and annihilates what
ever prestige he might have with bis |
political enemies. He has never SEEM
ed to realize that q man may be con-
scientious in his views and convictions
and not agree with him. He forgets
that nearly every law upon the Statute
books of the land is compromise,
That the constitution OF every state
in the Union is not what one particu-
lar or individual man would have it,
but that each represents the scis0red
ideas of it's individual makers. The
brain work of different individuals.
The constitution of the United States
is a compromise. 1t is not what JET
ferson wished it. 1t is not what
Hamilton, Franklin or Adams wished
it. But it is the best thing that could
be constructed out OF the thoughts of
all it's trainers. Had there been many
men in that great body like Mr..
Money-always right and the other
man radically wrong-they would
have been hammering away there un-
til this good day, trying to formulate
a constitution. Fortunately, there
are few men like Sen. Money. He
will never placate an enemy. He will
never be called the "Pacificator," OF
do what our own immortal Lamar and
Henry Grady did for the country. He
is severe in arraigning those Of his
own party that oppose him, or disa'
gree with him. He has very little
good to say Of Republican,, and it
has not been but a few years since he
held up a great many of our own peo
pie to scorn and ridicule because OF
their advocacy of the Sub b-Treasury'
and "Populism-" We all need to bt
more tolerant, and especially is thi:
necessary among our public men i

Itige so necessary in deliberative bodies

the SENTINEL FoR1Y:HGliT YEARS
OLD.
!. OLD.
7I'asf-t -, ~ 'i7-7 p,

Forty-eight years ago the Grenada
SENTINEL was launched. Since that
time many great and wonderful
things, both national and interna-
tional, have transpired. Since that
time the Civil war has been waged,
and by that war it was decreed
that there should never be any
separation of the States. That the
destinies Of all the States should be
linked together for veal or for woe.
Since that time we have had proph-
cts both good and bad; some would
have us believe, at times, that we
were ON the verge of ruin. But in
spite OF all evil prophecies the march
of our great country has been onward
and upward. We believe that the
world is better now than it was
forty-eight years ago; that religion,
morals and ethics are more universal
among mankind. The Press has ever
been a potent factor in shaping the
destinies of nations, in educating the
people and leading them to greater
developements in all the arts ano
sciences.
Regarding the present manage
ment, the SENTINEL has always ha(
convictions and stood for that which
it believed to be right. 1t has neve
''sold it's birthright for a mess o
pottage," nor attempted to hoodwinl
the people to serve the hour.
1t has ever been on the watcl
tower, alert for the interests o
Grenada, materially, politically
educationally and religiously. We d
not say these things boastfully, but
we say them, believing that the goo
people will draw the mantle Q
charity over our faults. We hav
made mistakes, but we have neve
made the mistake of doing nothing
We are proud of the age of tn
SENTINEL. Few newspapers live S
long, and it's life lis the legitimat
result of sound constitution an
proper living"
Sincerely thanking our friends f(
their cooperation and patronage
the past, we pledge ourselves
. always try to prove worthy of supper
E and ask a continuation of favors ;
I long as we deserve it.
