tically called off. There are a
few buyers in town trying to
corner some of the clips estimated
at about 100000 pounds. The

Double Celebration by
Sunday School.
CHILDREN PRESENT PROGRAM
Forty-Slxth Star to Be Added
to "Oid Glory's" Field
of Blue on July
d Fourth.

With appropriate exercises the
observance Of Flag Day" was
fittingly remembered Sunday by
the Congregational church Sun
day school at the morning service.
The exercises were all the more
enjoyable because it was Child
ren's Day" which is an import
ant date in the church calendar.
The church was decorated with
pretty flowers and little flags.
Back of the pulpit two large
American flags enhanced the at
tractiveness of the simple but
effective scheme of decoration.
The church was filled with an
audience of eager and happy
parents who had come to listen
10 program Of songs and recita-
tions given by the children. The
exercises which were patriotic in
character, proved interesting
and the story of the flag and
what it stands for in the hearts
of loyal Americans was narrated.
The program was preceded by
a short address by Superintend-
ent Of the School, Ohsfeldt. He
told how Children's day had orig
mated and grown to be recog-
nizel by the leading denomina-
tions of the country. The part
icipants acquitted themselves
with credit. A feature of the
exercises was the distribution of
flags among the boys and girls
of the school. Since June IA,
1777, when the flag was adopted
by our national congress many a
star has been added to the field
of blue. Under the provisions
of an old act of Congress, Okla
homa's star, the forty-sixth,
will be added to the flag on this
Fourth of July. 1t will necess-
itate an entirely new arrange
ment of the stars on the flag.

The legislature spent all of yesterday
10 a discussion Of the methods of pro-
cedure in the Blackstone case.
As stated elsewhere Judge Blackstone
was removed from Office.
Governor Swanson sent letter TO the
Senate, accompanying communications
he had received from the superinten-
d .nts Of the Eastern, Western and South
western State hospitals, calling atten-
lion 10 the fact that by reason Of the
amendment to the laws whereby the
care, maintenance and support of in
mates of such are no longer to be paid
by the estates aud families OF such in
mates, but is to be borne by The State.
The Governor called attention TO the
fact that no provision had been made
to meet the deficiency in the general
appropriation bill, and that by reason
OF such conditions the State hospitals
are confronted with a deficit, no.wilh-
standing that the appropriations are
barely sufficient to meet the actual ex-
penses. The letter WAS referred TO the
committee on finance, the Senate ad-
hearing TO its position not to consider
any other quei iions at this Iime.

VANDERBILT'S DOMESTIC
TROUBLES.

Reports that the family Of Alfred
Gwynnt Vanderbilt all side with bis
wife in the domestic troubles said to
have caused their separation gave society
circles an added interest in the sffsirs oil
the well.knoWn couple. The published
statement that Mrs.. Cornelius Wander
biIt has given shelter to her dsughter-in-
law in her mansion at 9th street aud
Fifth avenue, New York, is the basis OF
the report that even bis mother is
opposed to the young millionaire in his
domestic affsirs.
Vanderbilt is living at the Plaza Ho
tel, scarcely a tlcok sway from Die
mothers home, but be and his wife have
not met, according TO report, and are
not expected to see each other before

a lengthy, one report having 1t he has

SENATOR SMITH.

Senator John Walter Smith, the sue
esssor of the late William Pinkney
Whyte, of Maryland, was yesterday
evening sworn in as member Of the
United States Senate after legal argu'
ment of nearly four hours aud 10 spite
of the strong opposition mustered by
Senator Julius o. Burrows, Of Mich
igan, chairman of the Senate committee
on privileges and elections. No further
opposition will be made to his right TO
his seat.
The objection to seating the new Sen
slor was based on the fact that he had
been elected by the legislature OF Mary
land before two weeks bad elapsed be-
tween the announcement OF the death OF
his predecessor and his own election.
Mr.. Rsyner end those who supported
his contention took the stand that the
question OF the regularity of the election
was not before the Senate, but that the
only question to be decided at once
was whether Mr.. Smith was shown GU
the face Of his credentials to be entitled
TO Re sworn.
Mr.. Rsyner's view was upheld BY
the votes OF thirty. four Senators, while
twenty. eight others voted with Mr.. Bur
rows. The question Of the eligibility
of the new Senator under The circum-
stances OF his election WAS by the same
vote referred to Mr.. Burrows commit
tee for investigation and report.

day from the surrounding country on
the dsmsge from the two earth quake
shocks yesterday show many adobe
houses were shaken down by The vibrs-
lions which were felt over az eres OF
500 miles from north to south. 1t is
feared great damage was done In
the extreme northern part ofthe republic
near the Rio Grande border. 1t is stated
houses in Mier and Arroyo we're razed.
Fearful OF other shocks, the residents Of
this city did NOT sleep much during the
night. Scientists attribute slight damage
in this city to the fact that the city rests
on the spongy bed of an old lake.
