BECAUSE IT'S THE FOURTH.

Gee whiz!
What great big man Uncle Sam is!
And what
A lot
He has done
Since he was begun!
And why?
Because 1t was on the Fourth of July
That he began
His plan
OF stepping out
Without doubt
That II he waded right in
He'd win
And, by Zucks, so far,
Hasn't he got thar?
And that amt all.
He amt small
AT all,
And all
OF the western terrestrial ball
That amt otherwise engaged he
VIII look after. See?
And some that is
As, for instance, that Spanish biz.
And why?
Because it's the Fourth Of July,
The greatest day
On EARTH And, say,
When Freedom leads the way
She waves
The Fourth Of July at slaves,
And they shake off the shackles ther
And become men!
And why?
Because it's the Fourth of Julyl
Gee whiz.
What a great day 1t is!
SiZZ!
Fizz!
WhiZ!
What a glory day It Isl
Let the cannon roar
From ship and shore.
Let the eagle scream
BY lake and stream.
Let us march with tread
That will wake the dead.
Let the bands play
All day
And sweep the sky
with the flags on hand!
And why?
Because it's the Fourth OF July!
Gee whiZ,
What a tremendous. stupendous,
Perpetual, perennial, pyrotechnical
indestructible,
Indescribable, inimitable, incandes
cent ebullient
And enthusiastic day 1t Is!
And why?
Because it's the Fourth Of Julyl

During the battle Of Princeton re-
treating British troops took refuge In
the chapel Of the college. Washington
personally directed the fire Of his ar
tillery, which was aimed at the college
buildings. The first shot, 1t is said,
entered the chapel and passed through
the head OF a portrait Of George ii.
After the war Washington paid Charles
Wilson Peale $3.50 for a portrait of
himself which was placed in the iden-
tical frame through which the cannon
ball had passed.

Venezuelan Dictator" Lands at Fort
de France Instead of trinidad.

venezuelan Dictator" Lands at Fort
de France Instead of trinidad.
Fort de France, Martinique, April 8.
-Clpriano Castro, ex-dictator of Vene-
zuela, landed here from the steamer
Guadalupe today and at once went into
towering rage against the State de-
partments of Great Britain and the
United States, both of which have for
hidden him to land on any of their DOS
sessions upon the American continent.
Hardly had Castro recovered his breath
from vicious TRADE against these two
countries, when he was informed that
message from Paris had just been re-
ceived at Saint Pierre, forbidding him
10 land anywhere on the island of Mar
Unique. This set the fiery Venezuelan
going again, and bystanders were treat
ed to vivid description of the place
where he would seand all Frenchmen,
were ne the arbiter of fate.
Just what will be the next move in
the return" of Castro to the Western
hemisphere is not known. Venezuelan
authorities have received permission
from France to arrest him on a French
vessel should he attempt to land from
one; and the message from Paris today
seems to make it evident hat he cannot
long remain on the island of Martinique.
with American ports closed to him, the
ex-dictator is in fair way to find him
sen a man without country, and to
become wanderer upon the high seas.

MODJESKA PASSES AWAY.
Famous Actress Loses in Her Battle
Against Death.

Los Angeles, CAL, April 9.-Mad-
anne Helena Modjeska, the famous
Polish tragedienne and one of the most
noted actresses of the American stage,
died at 10 o'clock yesterday at her
island home at Bay City, in Orange
county, at the age of IS, after an i'll
ness of about two months. For seve-
raj days she had been unconscious and
her death was almost hourly expected.
Bright's disease, complicated with
heart trouble, was the immediate cause
of death.
Gathered around the bedside of the
noted actress when she died were
Count Bozenta, basband of Madame
Modjeska,; Ralph Modjeska and his
wife, son and daughter-in-law. of Chi
cago, and DIR. ]. C. Boyd, the family
physician. The fatal illness of Mad
anne Modjeska has been a hard strain
on the count and the other members of
the family, who have watched almost
necessarily at her side for a month
past.
The body of the actress will be en-
balmed and taken to Los Angeles,
where it will lie in a vault for some
time. Later Count Bozenta will take
the body to Cracow, Poland, the early
home of Modjeska, and there it will
be inferred.

Inhuence-United States Pleased
at Prospect of Removal of DAN
gerous Firebrand.

Washington, April 10.-The French
government has informed the State de-
partment of its determination to put
into effect Immediately its decision to
expel ex-President Castro, Of Vene-
zuela, from Fort de France and compel
him to return to Europe.
The program is to put him aboard
the vessel first touching at Fort de
France. If this is carried out, Castro
will be on his way to Europe in day
or two, unless his physical condition
is such that the ocean trip would put
his life in jeopardy.
The State department officials are
much gratified at the manner in which
the French government has acted, and
feel relieved that Castro is to be sent
back to Europe, where he will have no
immediate influence in the affairs of
Venezuela, where his personal follow
ing is believed to be considerable.

UNITED STATES AROUSED.


Washington, April 9.-Nicaraguan
mutilation of official dispatches to this
government and continued grave con-
ditions in Central America, are under
earnest consideration of the Washing
ton government. Investigation have
convinced the officials here that cipher
dispatches passing between John H.
Gregory, the American charge at Man
aqua, Nicaragua, and the State depart
ment at Washington were purposely
mutilated.
1t would not be surprising, in view
of the unsatisfactory conditions, if the
American government should take &C
tive steps to end the existing state of
affairs in Central America and notify
Nicaragua that henceforth peace must
prevail at all hazards.
Moral suasion with Nicaragua has
failed to accomplish the object sought
that of impressing her with the de-
sire both Of the United States and
Mexico that there be a cessation of the
contentious which keep other Central
American republics constantly guess
ing. Intervention in Central American
fairs has been talked Of unofficially.

Former Cabinet Officer Dies After
Weeks of Illness.

Washington, April lothian Allen
Hitchcock, secretary of the interior
under Presidents Mckinley and Roose-
welt, died here yesterday morning at
IL o'clock, aged "a. He had been
critically i'll for several days.
Mr.. Hitchcock had been i'll for some
weeks. He contracted a severe cold
while in the West, and his condition
became so serious that he hurried to
Washington to place himself in the
hands of a specialist who had attended
him during his office career here. He
suffered from complication of kidney,
heart and pulmonary diseases.
At the bedside when the end came
were Mrs. Hitchcock, the three daugh-
tiers, Lieutenant Commander Sims, and
a nephew, George c. Hitchcock, of st.
Louis.
His condition had become steadily
worse during the last two days.
The body will be taken to st. Louis
today, arriving there Sunday night.
The funeral will be held Monday, the
interment being at the Bellefontaine
