DANIEL WEBSTER AND ANOTHER
Golfers WeekIv.l
SENATOR.

If Henry Cabot Lodge could assume some of the qualities he recognizes and praises in Daniel Webster the Senate would be relieved of the petti-fogging and exasperating Instructions which are placed in the path of measures of broad importance by one narrowly provincial senator. After all has been said, writes Senator Lodge In his bi- ography of Webster, "the question of most interest is, what MT Webster rep resented what he means in our history" And MT. Lodge answers hisn own question: Webster stands today as the pre-eminent champion and ex- ponent of nationality. He said once. There are no Alleghanies in my poli- tics, and he spoke the exact truth Mr Webster was thoroughly national There is no taint of sectionalisrn or mar row local prejudice about him. He towers up as an American, a citizen of the United States, in the fullest sense of the word. This from a senator who, more than any other, is known for having again and again blocked tha
 
 passage of bills important to the whole nation, because they would work injury to one small industry in the neighbor- hood of MT. Lodges home. Would that Nr Lodge could say; There is no Gloucester in my politics" Mir Lodge stands today as the pre-eminent cham pion and exponent of cod-fsh. Reci- procity with Newfoundland must fa because MT. Lodges fisherman neigh. bors might be hurt. The pure-food hi,I must be held up and delayed. and an important provision of 1t must be amended, because the Gloucester fish, eimen want to use boracic acid to nre- serve their product. Since Mir Lodge must be known to the world chiefly a e the representative of one industry if is pity for his flames sake that this in- dustry cannot be a more dignifed and important one in it's extent. and q less ch cumseribed one geographically. Mir Lodge towers up as a citizen of the sense of the word,

WHITE GIFTS FIRE DEUCE
SURPRISING DISPLAY OF BEAUTY AND BRILLIANCY.

Completely Novel Effect of a Cross-fre
 of Meteors in Mld-Air-A Myriad oF
 Night Rainbows, the Acme of Novelty
 in Pyrotechnical Beauty--Dantes In-
 fernO Reproduced.
 The White City's 'Deluge of Fire or "Cloudburst of Flame" tonight will eclipse in Iavishness and brilliancy any thing of the kind ever attempted at a summer resort on the New England coast, and Manager speck is very cer- tain that it will surpass in originality and beauty the notable displays of the famous Pain at Coney Island.
 A remarkable feature will be the downpour of meteors from the top of the electric tower and other elevated points within the White City, and also the shooting of meteors from the ground, thus affording the completely novel spectacle of cross fire of fam ing shafts of artificial lighting in mid ait.
 A sensational fiery effect will start at a signal from Manager Speck, when all the lights in the White City will go out, and from the heavens will pour tremendous rain of fire, rivalling in Its awe-inspirlng effects the rain of fire show with such terrlbleness during the visit of Mephistopheles and Faust to the internal regions.
 Gradually this scene will change to one of surpassing beauty, the downpour will be softened, the hues will be of the most exquisite tints, and the amazed eye will rest upon the wonder full sight of a myriad of night rain- bows-the newest acme of pyroteoh- nical beauty and effect To attempt to add more to the beauty would be 'wasteful ridiculous excess"
 The sensational balloon ascensions of Professor Flowers aeronauts are att tracting increased attention every day. Yesterday afternoon Vincent Morris made a double parachute drop, much to the amazement of the crowd. Young Morris is an amateur ballonist, and yesterday was the first time he ever did a double drop. He worked this daring feat like a charm.
 | To-day mysterious young lady from Philadelphia will make an ascension. It is said that it Is the first time she has gone up, and that she belongs to a prominent family in the Quaker City. For several weeks she has been i'm portuning Professor Flower to allow her to go up but through protestations of her family he declined until this week, when she declared she would as- cend with another aeronaut, if he would not take her. That settled 1t.

 The breaking down of one of the wagons belonging to E. schoenberger
 & Sons, at the corner of Elm street and Campbell avenue, West Haven, caused a blockade of cars going to Savin Rock via Congress avenue for nearly an hour yesterday afternoon. One of the wheels of the wagon gave way on account of the loaded condi- tion of the wagon. Vegetables and sugar decorated the street as a result. The arrival of the wrecker soon made room for the passage of the cars.

OVER THE HILL TO THE POOR
 HOUSE.

OVER THE HILL TO THE POOR
 HOUSE.
 Frederick Workmaster, scowdweller and army veteran, has given up his struggle with the world in general and the Southern Pocifc Company in par t.cular.
 The Southern Pacific Company order- ed him to betake himself with his scow off their ground on the river bank. He said he was willing to go but his scow wouldn't float, and he had no wa scow wouldn't float, and he had no way to move it. That made no difference to the company. It had bought the land and didn't intend to have people liv- ing on it.
 So Workmaster, who is old and de- crepit, met the emergency in the best way he could. He took down a little American flag from the gable of his shack, folded it carefully with ihs few other effects, loaded them into an aNaitingvehicle, and was driven out Jefferson street and on over the hill to the poorhouse.
 The old man had fought for many years to avoid that little drive over the hill which he took, The possibility has been staring him in the face for at least six years. He is not exactly an old man, being three years this side of six ty, but rheumatism has taken hold of his limbs and shoulders. The result is that he isn't quite as husky as he was a brief thirty years ago, when he used to vault poles, and lift a hundred pounds. and dream of the day when he would be great and wealthy.
 As the ordeal came, the old man met it bravely. When Judge Cameron told him that he had better give up trying to cope with the world, Workmaster hung his head and saaented. He ad- mitted that he was hopelessly defeated, and surrendered unoonditionally Judge Cameron arranged with Station OfFl' oers Price and Anderson to drive Work master to his scow in the patrol wagon and get his effects for transportation to the aln1shouse
 The sight of the patrol wagon spin ming up to the old scoow at one o'clock attracted a score of men and boys to the place. The scow is a delapidated structure. located in a deep swale right on the bank of the river, half a mile above the Madison bridge, and the west side.
 The boys came up eagSly and with malicious grins on their faces They seem to think the old man had gotten into trouble with the police. This pleased them for night after night he has been the butt of their youthful pranks, which he has resented, pursu- ing them and calling maledictions on their heads. Thus he became a juvenile bugbear.
 When the boys learned just why the officers were there their faces dropped and they were sorry they had made his path rougher for him. One little fellow overcome with guilt and contrton, tim idly inquired if there was anything he could do.
 The interior of the scow was quite as forbidding as the exterior. There was a sheetiron stove a crude table, a few quilts upon it. Over the door was a large cross.
 Yet cleanliness was everywhere. Ev- cry article had a place, and there was not a spec of dirt to be found. Wark- master had tried to be comfortable and had succeeded in being cleanly.- Portland Oregonian.
