Independence Day was appropriately
and very generally celebrated through-
out the state.
The Only Original
DUTCH ■
B. A. COOK,
Staple and Fancy Grocer,
2525 and 2527 Market St.
Carefully Condensed and Casually Com-
mented Upon.
The emperor of Germany opened the
reichstag yesterday and in a strong
manuscript speech urged the speedy
adoption of a modified army bill which
1 he promised would be submitted for con-
sideration at an early date. The kaiser
- said that he considered that all means at
his disposal must be utilized in order to
establish the effective defense of the
fatherland. It was a strong address,
and, read between the lines, says em-
phatically that the modified bill must be-
come a law.
If so, you can get a better
article for less money at B.
A., Cook’s than anywhere
else in the city. They buy
their wines in California and
receive it direct by the car-
load, thereby saving their
customers the profit that
would otherwise go to the
wholesale dealer. A finer as-
sortment of wines and liquors
can not be found in the city
than is constantly on hand.

At Cornhill, Yorkshire, England, yes-
terday afternoon, while the United
States was boisterously celebrating the
117th anniversary of her independence,
a mine explosion occurred, and 145
miners and boys are missing. So many
additions to the list of victims of faulty
mine ventilation.

Clifford Calverty, a reckless fool,
broke the record yesterday by crossing
Niagara falls on a wire in 2 minutes and
35 2-5 seconds for the edification of 10,-
000 spectators. He is entitled to what-
ever credit there is in lowering the rec-
ord by one minute. ,

At Kirkwood, Del., Ayers P. trotted,
with a running mate, a mile in 2.03>£,
breaking the world’s best record, 2.06,
held by Winship. The two-minute
horse is certainly coming.

The bimetallic league of America
issued a call yesterday afternoon for a
meeting at Chicago, commencing Au-
gust 1. The bimetallists see in the de-
mand for the repeal of the Sherman law
a conspiracy “to destroy silver as a
money and establish finally and forever
the single gold standard, and at one
stroke change all debts to gold debts,
with the never ending rise of gold and
the fall of prices.” General Warner,
chairman of the league, thinks congress
can not repeal the Sherman law without
a substitute which will be satisfactory
to silver rights. At the proposed meet-
ing the league will resolute vigorously
to this end. But the Sherman law will
have to go, substitute or no substitute.

It is estimated that fully 250,000 peo-
, . . s celebration yes-
terday at the World’s fair. This was
fitting and proper and the patriotic
demonstrations on this occasion cannot
but impress visitors with the fact that
Americans love their country and their
flag,even if it does seem sometimes if we
were unappreciative of the grandeur of
the one and the sacredness of the other.
* *
The Tammany society of New York
was outdone no where in this broad
country in the enthusiasm and patriot-
ism injected into celebrating yesterday
the 104th celebration of the 117th anni-
versary of independence. Among the
distinguished speakers were ex-Speaker
Crisp, Congressman McMillan of Ten-
nessee, Clark of Missouri, Fellows of
New York and Mayor Gilroy. Many
distinguished citizens of New York were
conspicuous on the platform of the
Fourteenth street wigwam, which was
patriotically decorated.

Susie L. Young, aged 20, at Belton,
this state, disappointed in love, took
nineteen graine of morphine; wrote a
spiteful and ill tempered letter to her
lover and crossed over the river despite
the best medical attention. There was
wanting in the unfortunate girl’s make
up the b-lance of womanly pride and
independence, characteristics without
which woman is weak, indeed.

The Texas division of the League of
American Wheelmen closed its annual
session at Waco yesterday. San Antonio
gets the meeting next year. At roll call
150 members responded. The treasurer’s
ieport showed $257 on hand. The color
line question was discussed fully, and
while it was apparent that a large ma-
jority favored limiting membership to
whites, no action was taken. The fol-
( lowing nominations for officers for the
ensuing year, to be voted on by mail, re-
„ suit to be declared next November, were
made: For chief consul, E. W. Hope,
Sherman, and W. E. Roach, San An-

The Barnes And Stock on Sandy Hill
Stock Fann Burned.
Southern Afternoon Press.
Rutland, Vt., July 5.—The stock
barnes on the farm known as “Grass
Lands,” located in Sandy Hill, N. Y.,
one of the best known in eastern New
York, were burned Sunday night. The
fire is supposed to have caught from the
telephone wire.
The property was owned by George
Conklin, a well known horse raiser.
The contents of all the barnes includ-
ing sixteen horses were burned. Among
the horses was the stallion Onset, for
which his owner had a standing offer of
$10,000. The total loss is estimated at
not less than $75,000, on which there is
but little insurance.

Southern Afternoon Press.
Wilmington, Del., July 5.—A riot oc-
curred at the railroad station at Kirk-
wood which culminated in the prob-
able fatal shooting of William Benson
and injury of several others. Thousands
of persons were returning from the
races of the Maple Valley Trotting asso-
ciation at the great kite track. A fight
arose between George Anderson, col-
ored, and several others, during which

volver, when State Detective McVey
attempted to quell the disturbance. He
was assisted by Sergeants Shields and
Bailey, of the police force. The police-
men were assaulted by negroes, who
drew revolvers and razors and hurled
brickbats at them. Detective McVey
was wounded with a brick and is

The following negroes were arrested:

Rutland, Vt., July 5.—Fifteen men
from various parts of the state have held

At Kansas City Homer Baker stabbed
W. A. Campbell with fatal effect in a
row in a saloon. Baker eluded arrest,
hut on reading that Campbell had died
during the night he bought a revolver
and promptly put a bullet through his
brain. Perhaps Baker had before him
the picture of long imprisonment, tedi-
ous and expensive trials for his life,
with the remote possibility of paying
the penalty by hanging, and wisely con-
cluded to end the one and spare himself
the other neatly and with dispatch. Who
will question the wisdom of his act?

This is a hard season on suburban
property enterprises. The North Gal-
veston collapse is followed closely by the
downfall of a more pretentious rival, the
Omaha and Soqth Texas Land company
of Houston Heights fame, which yester-
day assigned to H. F. McGregor of Hous-
ton. The indebtedness is placed at
$400,000, about $55,000 of which is due
to local creditors. The assets are fixed
on what is claimed a conservative es-
timate, at $600,000. The stringency of
the money market in the east is given as
the cause for the assignment. The assets
include a waterworks plant, electric
light plant, a _planing and saw mill in
active operation.

Henry Cabot Lodge Says the Sherman
Law Must Be Repealed.
Southern Afternoon Press.
Boston, Mass., July 5.—Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge speaks earnestly in
favor of the repeal of the obnoxious
Sherman act.
“I think the Sherman law ought to be
repealed,” and at once he said. “The
president is in a position to judge better
the temper of Congress than any one
else, and certainly no one would wish at
this moment to do anything to embarass
him or even to criticize him.
“I confidently believe the repeal of
the purchasing clauses of the Sherman
act would now pass both houses, but the

Parade Yesterday—Rast Night at the
Beach—The Day Without Fatalities.
Yesterday was an eventful day in the
history of Galveston and will long be re-
membered by the citizens and the thous-
ands of visitors from other towns. It
was the first real, genuine Fourth of
July celebration ever held here and was
a great success, far beyond the expecta-
tions of those who had the matter in
charge.
Between 2 and 3 o’clock the parade
was formed at Twenty-fourth and Mar-
ket streets and marched on Market to
Center, down Center to Strand, on
Strand to Tremont and south to Broad-
way.
The following organizations partici-
pated in the parade in the order named:
FIRST DIVISION.
Brigadier General Openheimer.
Colonel C. W, Preston, Major A. N.
Miller, U. S. A., Major C R. Gary, Ma-
jor J. B. Aguilo, Captains O. B. War-
wick, Eighteenth U. S infantry, and B.
F. Hadra and Lieutenant W. C. Langfitt,
U. S. A., and Adjutant John Perry. First
regiment T. V. G.
Second Regiment band of Brenham,
eighteen pieces.
Houston L’ght Guard, commanded by
Captain W. E. Reichardt and Second
Lieutenant Torrey; forty men, rank and
file. They were accompanied by their
surgeon, Dr. J. S. Stuart.
Brenham Light Guards, commanded
by Captain J. M. Byrne and Lieutenants
Hartfield and Brunow; forty-eight men,
rank and file.
Washington Guards, commanded by
Captain W. S. Vidor and Lieutenants
Knoll and Rogers; forty men, rank and
file.
THE CENTURY
for July is up to the standard, and it is
a high standard at that. The frontis-
piece is a protrait of Sarah Siddons.
The opening article, “Color in the
Court of Honor at the World’s Fair.” by
R. Cortissoz,is profusely and charmingly
illustrated. The leading papers are:
Edgar Montgomery; “Old Portsmouth
Profiles,” by Thomas Baily Aldrich;
“The Mocking Bird,” by Ednah Proc-
tor Clarke. Bird songs: “Sea Birds
and Land Birds,” by Mary Hallock
Foote; “The Intoxicated Ghost,” by
Arto Bates. “Msntal Medicine, the
Treatment of Disease by Suggestion,”
by Allen McLane Hamilton; “A Voice
for the People of Russia,” a reply to
“A Voice for Lussia,” by George Ken-
non. These and other articles, and the
well filled departments make this a
most entertaining number.
SECOND DIVISION.
Herrle’s band of Houston; twenty men.
Sealy Rifles, commanded by Captain
Worthy Boyd and Lieutenants Krausse
and Hunter; forty men, rank and file.
Lasker Light Guards, commanded by
Captain B Durel and Lieutenants
Thompson and Nachman; thirty-six
men, rank and file.

Captain G. Hansinger and Lieutenats
Deeth and Schwarzbach; thirty men,
rank and file.
Galveston Light Guards, commanded
by Captain Bird; twenty men, rank and

Mies Pinto Took an Over Dose cf Band-
ana tn Purely by Accident.
On Monday Evening Tribune con-
tained an account of what was said to be
an attempt at suicide. A friend of the
family called to-day and explained that
it was an accident.
The friend said that Miss Sarah Pinto
was - down town Monday. Returning
home she complained of nervou ness,
says the friend of the family. She has
been suffering from hysteria for some
days.' On her return a sister advised
that she take a little laudanum and lie
down, the young lady drank the lauda-
num from a bottle Returning the bot-
tle to the table she noticed that she had
taken too much and so informed her
sister, who immediately called a doctor.
Antidotes weze promptly administered
and the young lady suffered on serious
inconvenience. The story of a love
affair is denied most positively. There-
fore the public will accept the statement
that there was no intention to suicide.

HELD A LEVEE.
Six-Foc-t Four Collector of Cus-
toms on the Beach Lawn.
Hon. Geo. P. Finlay returned from
Washington yesterday. He brought
that famous persimmon pole with him
and a few scalps at his belt.
Last night the tall sycamour of this
little island world waa the center of a
group of admiring friends on the Beach
lawn. Congratulations come from all
sides, all classes and conditions of peo-
ple.
This morning Colonel Finlay mailed
his bond to Washington. When this is
approved he will receive his commission
and will immediately take charge of the
office.
Of course there is much speculation aa
to the personel of the new collector’s
staff. It is generally understood that
there will be a clean sweep. It is also
admitted that P. S. Wren, who was
deputy collector under the late C. C
' Sweeney, will be deputv under Colonel
Finlay. Chas. G. Clifford was slated
for a position in the custom house, but
since Charley’s rod tickled some light-
ning and a very good job out of the city
hall, it is possible the custom house
slate will be revised. Wm. Selkirk and
W. E. Evans are both named in connec-
tion with choice positions. A very few
days will unfold all and set speculation
at rest. ____________________
GUNNING FOR HIMSELF.
A man named Hill attempted suicide
at Twenty-fifth street and the beach to-
day by shooting himself through the
head. The ball grazed his forehead and
made only a flesh wound. Hill came
herefrom Fort Worth a few days ago,
accompanied by his wife. The particu-
lars of the affair are meager.

mischevious joker had procured a supply “The Ship’s Colors,” by Helen Gray
of cannon crackers and several gentle-
men umused themeelves by placing the
bombs under and about unsuspecting
individuals.
A little before 6 o’clock the military “Chicago,” by John
men took cars for the beach, where the
dress parade and drill were to take
place.
By 7 o’clock the Beach lawn and
hotel were alive with people. Just as
the sun went down the sight was a
beautiful one. The galleries of the hotel
were crowded from top to bottom and
the lawn was a solid mass of surging
humanity. The crowd was, perhaps,
the largest that was ever at the beach.
The dress parade was a very pretty
sight and the companies did themselves
proud, as the grounds were si crowded
they had but little room and the noise
of the throng made it next to impossible
to hear the commands of the officers.
After the drill the Galveston artillery
gave an exhibition drill with a section of
their battery and acquitted themselves
in nice style.
The military ball at the Beach hotel
was a grand affair and a large number of ' The Most Picturesque place in the
the brave boys and pretty girls tripped
the light fantastic until a late hour.
Most of the visitors departed last night
on the iate trains but a large number
remained until this morning and some
are still in the city.
