The first wrestling carnival given
under the auspices of the Hammond
Athletic association was a great sue
cess. 1t was a success as an entertain
ment, even If the house was not more
than two-thirds full.
One of the reasons given for the
small crowd is the fact that the prices
were too high. There were a large
number of people who thought the
show was worth 50 to $3.50 to any one
interested in wrestling. but to per-
son who was only casually interested In
this kind of sport the prices were too
high.
It is believed that in the future a
smaller charge and an equally good
entertainment will result in drawing a
larger crowd. OF course, the great at
traction was Zbyszko, the Polish giant,
who showed his complete mastery of
the sport of wrestling and in a cool
and business-like manner went about
securing holds that eventually resulted
in falls

Raoul De Boulinger, HIS opponent.
was on the defensive most of the time
and only once or twice during the bout
did he make any serious effort to take
a fall out Of the Polish giant. At
those times the great strength of the
Pole and his enormous bulk made it
impossible for Boulinger to do any
thing with him.
Zbyszko seemed to have supreme con-
fidence in his ability to handle his man.
and it seemed that every move the big
Pole made counted The first fall was
made in sos and the second was made
in 6:1S.
The Polish people who were present
were delighted with the showing that
their countryman made. and they
cheered vociferously. There were
large number of women in the opera
house, in spite of the fact that these
athletic entertainments are not usually
patronized by the women.
Weber Was Strong.
The bout between Heinrich Weber
and Mike Connolly was interesting.
The big German, with the Kaiser Will
helm moustache, had the best of the
argument all of the way through and
got the first fall in ten minutes and the
second in two and a half minutes. He
had a great advantage in weight, how
ever.
The bout between Young Jordan and
Peter Nichols, known as "Roughhouse
Nick" was one of the most exciting
bouts of the evening. Both men were
so rough that they had to be repeat
eddy warned to be more careful On
occasions the referee had to break

and to much better purpose. This
is St.Swithin's Day which comes on
the 18th, The object of st. Swith
ms Day is concerted prayer for
rain, and if the prayer is answered it
is supposed to rain daily for the next
40 days. Wherever ST. SEithin's
has been observed in this country, it
has already become a formidable riv-

that they do not compare for enthu
siasm, which is not surprising, for as
a rule what we really need in this
country in July and not liberty at
all.

The Boys Judge Speaks.

The Sunday School Times, Phila.
Hon. Ben. B. Lindsey, the famous
Juvenile Court Judge of Colorado,
hands down an opinion on the cigar
cite that ought to make people
think:
Il have been in the Juvenile Court
nearly ten years, and in that time |
have had to deal with thousands and
thousands of boys who have dis
graced themselves and their parents,
who have brought sorrow and mis-
cry into their lives; and | don t
know of any one hnbit that is more
responsible for the troubles of these
boys than the vile cigarette habit. y

Where the First Fourth of July Was Celebrated.

rounding this property, which during
the revolution was owned by DR..
Enoch Edwards, a noted patriot, the
first public celebration of the Declare
ton of independence took place on
the evening of July s, 1875.
If musty records of we olden times"
are to be believed several of the party
wendell their way through the shady
avenues and across the smooth lawn
to the UNCOVERED summer-house, with
strangely shaped, MISUNDERSTANDING
bundles tucked under their arms,
which they placed carefully upon the
ground as they sat contentedly down
to do justice to the bountiful spread
which their hospitable host had pro-
vided. Rare old wines and choice
viands of every description were
brought forth. AS the delicate NOR
sells disappeared and course after
course was brought on, the party
warmed up to the occasion.

EDITORIAL
THE FOURTH OF JULY.

The Fourth of July falls this year
on Sunday. and in beautiful conso-
nance with that respect which the
American Nation holds and has ever
held for the Sabbath Day; the cele-
brations will be delayed till the next
day, Monday, in most places. In
some few, as is the case with Lea
kesville, the preceding day, Satur
day. wilFbe observed to obviate con-
f1ictS with sister cities in the com
memOration, The star and stripes
floats over a united people now, as so
abundantly attcsted in the Spanish
American War, when sons of veter
ans, and confederate veterans were
themselves of the first to take up
arms and spill their blood on for
eign fields for the common honor of
America. But our claims to patriot
ic ardOr reaches back to the founda-
ton of the federal government when
Southern heroes and statesmen were
in the forefront giving their Drawn,
their brain and their blood to achieve
the independence of the American
colonies and formed a government of
equal rights, So the HERALD trusts
that this Fourth of July observance
will but weld all sections of this ma
ton closer together and cause to
burn in every heart on its shores
deeper and more fervent flames Of
patriotism. Truly we all have much
to rejoice over, and should thank
God for it all and face the new prob
lens that do beset.

the editor Of the Ocean Springs News
informs us Of number of improve

these none are more prominent than
the purchase of gasoline engine.

of his own, but woe to he who in
stalls a gasoline engine and depends
upon it for power in time of need.

When all was in readiness the first
glorious Fourth" ever held in Amer
lea in the now regulation firework
fashion was commenced. How these
rockets, ETC., were secured or where
they came from is unknown. AS each
rocket shot skyward, as each blast of
exploding powder rent the echoes,
these makers of history laughed, ap-
plauded and shouted with delight
The celebration was continued away
into the wee small hours of the morn
ing, and although 1873 glorious
Fourths" have followed this first jub-
lice which was held on the 9Th of
July, 1776, never has there been o
greater display of patriotism, never
has there been more true American
ism expressed than there was on that
birthday.

A valuable brochure comes to us
from the State Board Of Health which
wears the lugubrious title of SIM
ter" The thirteen deadlies referred
to are those diseases which wreak
greatest havoc with the human fami-
ly in this CLINE viz: Consumption,
Diptheria, Dysentary, Hookworms,
Influenza, Malarial, Scarlet and Ty-
phoid fevers, Measles, Pneumonia,
Smallpox, Lockjaw and Whooping
Cough. The booklet embodies an alb
stract of the lectures which Dr.. Fred
J. Myer has delivered over the coun-
ties of the State, Greene as is nearly
always her isolated lot, excepted.
The language is suited to lay reading
being unusually free from technical
phraseology, and the book abounds
in suggestions worth gold nuggets
in the preventions of disease and
preservation of life against the en-
croachments of these Ii fell lnala-
dies. A great deal of emphasis is
given in the pamphlet, and rightly

tops, it is said that mild, sober Frank
lin actually sent a knowing wink at
stately Jefferson, who responded by
reaching under the table and fishing
out one of those mysterious bundles
which had earlier in the evening
aroused the curiosity of the host.
Amid a silence of breathless expecta-
ton the string was united and a pack
age of huge Roman candles came to
view.
Cheer after cheer drowned the music
of the crickets and katydids and
startled the feathered songsters, who
had long ago hushed their songs, and
were peacefully sleeping in the tree
tops. Skyrockets, firecrackers, pin
wheels, red, yellow and purple lights;
in short, every then known variety
of fireworks followed the Roman

Around the shed.

To all of which nobody much can
make the least objection. We never
shall get anywhere except i'll that
direction. We never shall do any
thing to Aldrich and his tariff until
the meek insurgents rise and take
somebody s hair off. We never shall
reform thing until we have a rue
ton in which we get our dander up
and compass some destruction. And
while most everything is out with a
chip upon its shoulder, we wish that
money would somehow become a
little holder. We'd like to have a
dollar bill jump out upon and fright
US, or a hundred dollars, we will say,
come close enough to bite us. It's
been a good while now, too long, the
common people find it, since money
did not run on sight, with its tail
jammed down behind it.
However, and be as it may,
The tadpole in the bog
Will thank whatever gods may be
For making him frog
The bobolink will dwell upon
Such bliss as we are in,
The sun will sail the summes skies
With the Precipitation in his eyes
And dripping from his chin.
Upon the Fourth, as patriots and
patriot S descendants, b e usual
burnt offerings are due to indepen-
dence and having shot each other up
to our own satisfaction, aud shown
the foreigners at hand jast how we
look in action, we'll pile the victims
in heap, unfur flag above it, and
ask Japan and all the rest if they
want any of it.
The chances that they will are
scarcely til elaboration. If we
could shoot like that in only decent
celebration of what some friends of
liberty long laid upon the shelf, once
did for us, what would we do for
liberty itself?
This will be about the last year that
the Fourth of July will be observed
to any great extent. Fireworks are
already forbidden in many cities, and
within another year the movement
will probably haye spread wherever
parents desire to preserve their chill
dren. There is, in fact, a much bet
