THE MOENING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1901.
SESSIONS IN FULL SWING
CHAUTAUaUA ASSE3IBHES ARE
LARGELY ATTENDED.
Addresses "Were Given by Dr. Kel-
lPTe Dr. Blnckburn and General
Morgan Todny's Programme.
GLADSTONE PARK, July 5. The Chau
tauqua cessions are now in full swlnc,
and are being attended by Increasing
crowds. Campers are flocking in dally,
and the grove of oaks already shelters
over 100 tents. Gladstone Park was delight
ful and cool today, and many parties from
Portland and Oregon City spent the day
in the shade of the trees or the Auditor
ium. The features of the day were Dr.
Kellogg's address defending a college ed
ucation; the afternoon lecture by Dr.
Alexander Blackburn on "Gumption," and
the evening oration by General T. J. Mor
gan on 'The Negro Problem." In the
baseball game the Chemawas over
whelmed the Gervais Stars by a score of
22 to 6.
The Value of a College Education.
In place of the address announced by
Chaplain Bateman, of Vancouver, on
"The Philippine Islands, Their People,
Products and Prospects," Dr. H. "W.
Kellogg was placed on the programme
with his carefully prepared lecture on
the topic, "The Value of a College Ed
ucation," Chaplain Bateman having been
called to Washington to attend a court
martial. The address of Dr. Kellogg was
voted one of the most interesting of the
session. He referred to the present ten
dency of "self-made men" who had won
life's battle without the aid of a college
education to belittle the college gradu
ate. He contended that all men, whether
college trained or not, were in a great
measure "self-made" in that whatever
success they achieved was due to their
own strength of purpose and ability to
work.
"Emerson declared," said Dr. Kellogg,
M 'Neither books nor years have been
able to extirpate from my mind the Idea
I received when young, that the scholar
is the favorite of heaven and earth; the
excellence of his country and the hap
piest of men.' Emerson lived in high
altitudes and breathed a lofty spirit.
"We are constantly encountering the criti
cism of men who dwell In lower places.
These have been occupied with the com
mercial interests, organizing large indus
tries, blessed with special opportunities.
They struggled hard and made a suc
cessful career. Looking from their stand
point, they see the advantages of life ris
ing entirely out of the conditions they
have met and overcome. They have been
practical men and have become impatient
with anything not practical. It is not
surprising, therefore, when they see
young men coming out of college with
other ideas of life than theirs beginning
the struggle with higher purposes that
It should seem to them that the college
man is on the wrong road and is even
unfit for life's duties."
Dr. Kellogg then brought forward sta
tistics to show that the college graduates
of the United States represented scarcely
more than one-fifth of one percent of tht
population, while they are filling a greatly
disproportionate number of the more Im
portant and honorable places of life. He
also combatted the Idea that the college
men were crowding Into the professions
almost exclusively. He showed that the
pendulum had swung In the other direc
tion, and that a great proportion of col
lege graduates were going Into commer
cial pursuits.
Afternoon Session.
The usual band concert opened the af
ternoon programme. Miss May Neal gave
a delightful reading, Paul X. Dunbar's
"The Party," which was encored. Lu
cille Collcttc, a 9-yearold miss, accom
panied by Miss Ella Connell, delighted the
audience with her violin solos, Loesch
horn's "A Good Night" and Bohm's "Bo.
-lero," The young musician handled her
Bwijgiferacefully, and the volume and
w4aess of music she brought out of
ferVMall violin astonished the audience.
' Dr.A.lexander Blackburn delivered a
" "Kilty" and practical lecture on "Gump-
tipa." He said in part:
v Wbt the French applaud, and not amlssr
jAs f&vicr-xalre (I do not know the Dutch),
The literal Germans call it "mutteywlss";
The Yankee "gumption," and the Grecians
"nous"
A useful thing to hare about the house,
J. G. Saxe.
"We call gumption common sense, or,
if we are to be very precise and scientific,
we say 'good, sound horse sense.' The
man who has gumption we call a prac
tical man, and the woman In whom this
quality Is eminent soon gets the reputa
tion of being a 'good, common-sense
woman.'
"We do not ascertain the presence of
gumption by the scales or with a market
stick. It is not peculiar to those who
have auburn locks or black hair. Bald
heads or snowy crowns do not surely In
dicate its presence. Not In the shape or
size of bumps In which the phrenologist
revels do we discover proof of its hiding.
Children don't catch It as they catch
measles, nor absorb it as they do their
dinners, nor get It as they get their mul
tiplication tables. It does not dwell in
the Latin conjugations, nor hide among
Greek and Hebrew roots. Many a young
man or woman has sought and won a
diploma and yet lacked this thing, and
when they have entered life's work, the
only thing they ever accomplished to per
fection was to fall. With all their get
ting, they did not get gumption. Verily,
it hath been heard that there have been
men with the degree A. B., A. M., LL. D.,
and even D. D., Tvho did not get gump
tion. "But what is gumption? The word
'gumption is an old Anglo-Saxon one,
and means carefulness; that is, thought
fulness in the application of what we
have in hand."
Dr. Blackburn then-developed the idea
of the need of greater gumption in the
home, the school and the Nation, illus
trating his points with anecdotes full of
point and humor.
Chemevras Defeat Gervais Stars.
On the baseball field in the afternoon
the spectators saw the Chemawas wade
Into their work and defeat the Gervais
Stars by the score of 22 to 6. Tie game
was Chemawa's from the start, and the
way the Indians landed on the ball was
enough to demoralize any aggregation.
The Stars did not loom up like their name
should Indicate, and they also piled up a
bunch of errors. La Flumboise pitched
a good game, and also distinguished him
self by making a clean home run with
one man on base. He also got two three
baggers and two singles. Other good stick
work was done by the following: Ben
sell, two two-base hits and two singles;
Teabo, one two-base hit; Neafus, one
two-base hit and two singles; Raub, three
singles; Regan, two singles.

Evening Lecture.
Before the evening lecture Miss May
Neal gave another pleasing reading,
Thomas Nelson Page's "A Soldier of the
Empire," responding to an encore with
"Mr. Dooley on the Philippines," which
was very cleverly done.
General Thomas J. Morgan gave the
last of his Interesting addresses to the
Chautauqua audience this evening. He
handled the negro problem in an effective
manner, contending that it could be solved
by education and development of the
race. In part he spoke as follows:
"Life is a series of problems. To all,
without regard to class, sex, age or con
dition, there come perplexing questions
that insist on an answer. Problems are
opportunities. They present occasions
for using our powers of thought, in
sight, prevision, reasoning and action.
Problems are tests of character. They
betray weakness and reveal elements of
power. They are crises, and their solu
tion marks epochs in life.
"Nations as well as individuals have
their problems. England has her Irish
problem and her South African problem.
Turkey has her Armenian problem. This
Republic has Its Philippine problems of
unknown dimensions. The most urgent
problem that presses for solution is the
'negro problem, one of the most difficult
that ever confronted any people.
"We have a population of 76,000,000, the
great mass of which is rapidly becoming
homogeneous. The 9,000,000 or 10.000,000
Africans and their descendants, known
as negroes by reason of their race, their
color, their traditions, are more difficult
of assimilation, and require a treatment
radically different from that of others.
"Before attempting a fuller statement
of the problem and its solution. It may
be helpful to pass in review the histori
cal phases of the negro problem as it
has presented Itself since the first slave
ship, with its Ill-fated cargo, landed at
Jamestown. From the introduction of
African slavery upon the continent men
were confronted with the ugly question
of the right of one man to hold another
In bondage, and to buy and cell men,
women and children as If they were
brutes. Various solutions were offered
the right of might, the supremacy of su
periority, the natural rights of capital,
the teachings of Scripture, the bestial na
ture of the negro, the obstacles of eman
cipation. The rights of man triumphed.
"As time went on, the matter of recon
ciling American slavery with the prin
ciples of the Declaration of Independence
presented Itself, and again truth pre
vailed. The economic phase of slavery
presented serious questions. Slavery bru
talized the toller and degraded labor. It
was extravagant, wasteful, unprogresslve,
unprofitable. The social phase of slavery
presented many ugly problems. The in
timate associations of the races led to
miscegenation, to the corruption of lan
guage and the debasement of morals. The
political phase proved the rock on which
the system went to pieces. The effort to
perpetuate slavery by making it the corner-stone
of the Confederacy precipitated
the disastrous Civil War and slavery's
final overthrow. With the outbreak of
the war the negro problem assumed a
military phase. As a war measure, de
signed to weaken the enemy and
strengthen the Tnlon, the great eman
cipation proclamation was Issued and
200,000 negro soldiers were enlisted. Here
at last was a wise solution of the mo
mentous problem of slavery.
"The new phase of the problem related
to the political status of the freedmen.
The answer of Congress was enfran
chisement. This was a theoretical, tenta
tive, radical application of the funda
mental principles of our civilization.
That It was altogether successful no one
claims; that It was altogether a failure
Is not true. The franchise, once be
stowed, can never be wholly withdrawn.
"The great failure was neglecting to
prepare the new citizens for their duties
and to protect the purity of the ballot
box. For a quarter of a century republi
can government has been unknown in
many Southern States.
"There has come a violent reaction
against the formal right of suffrage for
the negroes. Efforts are being made to
rob the negro of his right of suffrage by
constitutional enactment, which, based
nominally on education, excludes negroes
and admits the while illiterates. Re
duced representation should follow re
duced suffrage.
"Disfranchisement is not the solution
of our negro problem. Lynching and
burning and savage cruelty is not the
solution. In seeking an answer, we must
recognize:
"First That the negroes are an inte
gral and indestructible part of our Na
tional life. They are increasing In num
bers, they cannot be deported, and they
will not emigrate.
"Second They have the same natural
rights that any other class of people have.
"Third Their degradation tends toward
the degradation of all. Our boasted civ.
llizatlon is on trial.
"Fourth Injustice to them will react
upon the Nation. They will become dis
contented, lawless, revengeful. We shall
lose our self-respect and our reputation
abroad. It will be a fatal blow to any
permanent colonial policy.
"Fifth They can and ought to be edu
cated and fitted for citizenship.
"Sixth They can become a most Im
portant factor In the regeneration of
Africa. Tho negro problem is a Na
tional, not a local problem; a practical,
not a theoretical question.

Storm In Central Ohio.
DELAWARE, O., July 5. Delaware
County was visited by an exceedingly
heavy storm last evening, the full ex
tent of which Is not yet known. Wires
are down in all directions, and many
bridges are gone. Olentangy River rose
12 feet. At Ashley, water covered the
streets to the depth of six Inches. Fields
are under water and the damage to crops
will be heavy. Henderson Mann's barn
was struck by lightning just after the
family drove in, and all were severely
shocked. Mrs. Bollver Hayes, of Os
trander, was rendered unconscious by a
thunder bolt. The Delaware water works
plant, north of town, is surrounded by
water, and 35 Inches more will cut off the
city's water supply. Many houses and
barns were struck by lightning and great
ly damaged.
Strike In Western Australia.
PERTH. Western Australia, July 5. A
general railroad strike for increased wages
has commenced here, and the consequent
tie-up of the roads is complete through
out Western Australia.
SAILORS ARE DRUNKARDS
TRUE REASON FOR SOME OF THE
ABUSES THAT ARE REPORTED.
Frank T. Bullen. Makes Some Sweep
ing Allegations Against the Men
Before the Mast.
London Falrplay has learned from no
less an authority than Frank T. Bullen
that nine-tenths of the British sailors are
drunkards. This drunkenness is responsi
ble for practically all of the troubles of
the sailor, and yet Falrplay has in tho
past repeatedly stormed about the treat
ment Portland has extended to these
drunkards. In the last issue of the Lon
don paper appears the following:
In Liverpool the other day at a meeting
of fhe Marine Service Association, Captain
Lamb, a shipmaster of 26 years' experience
on the Atlantic, made a speech which, it
would seem from tho newspaper reports,
dropped like a bolt from the blue among
MMMMMtHMMMtMtMMMHM
PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL
the members. The gist of what Captain
Lamb said may be quoted:
"Although I hate-all foreigners, I prefer
them as seamen because of their superior
sobriety. The British seaman is a drunk
ard. The British sailor cannot hold his
own because of drink. It is not a question
of seamanship, for when he is sober he
can be depended upon, and can put the
foreigner aside, but nine-tenths of the
British sailors are drunkards."
A St. James's representative has had a
"real conversation" with Mr. Frank T.
Bullen, author of "Tho ' Cruise of tne
Cachalot" and "The Men of the Merchant
Service," on the subject matter of this
speech.
"You are familiar, if any one is, with
the British sailor, Mr. Bullen, and no
doubt Captain Lambs' speech has engaged
your attention?"
"Of course it has, and I indorse it. He
is about right. I have said the same thing
over and over again, and been abused for
my pains; but it is true, unhappily true.
The British sailor is, generally speaking,
a drunkard."
"Sweeping castigat!lon?,,
"Not a bit. I have known ships that
have actually been delayed for 24 hours
in port because the crew were all help
lessly drunk."
"Has the temperance movement, which
Is assumed to be making headway over
the country, not progressed among sailors,
then?"
"If matters have improved in this re
spect since I left? the sea I do not know
of it. I may mention a case which hap
pened in my own experience. It was that
of a tramp steamer. She sailed out of the
port of London. Now, what do you think
was the state of matters on board that
vessel? When she slipped her moorings
every man on board, with the exception
of the pilot, was the worse for liquor.
Officers on deck, sailors in the fo'c'sle, en
gineers in the engine-room, and firemen in
the stokehole all were drunk."
"That happened in a steamer," added
Mr. Bullen, "but the sailing ship i3 the
hell of the sailor. There are splendid ex
ceptions, but the bulk of sailing ships are
undermanned, the men are badly fed and
badly housed. Undermannlng in steam
ships does not matter so much, but it is a
serious affair where huge stretches of can
vas have to be dealt with."
"And the British sailor, you think, is
quite as bad as he is painted?"
"I do not exaggerate. There is no oc
casion for it. There Is no getting away
from the fact that there Is no finer sea
man in the world than the British sailor;
but take the average merchant ship and
you will find that on the day of sailing
nearly all the seamen go on board rolling
drunk. They tumble on board at the last
moment. Go down to the docks any day
and you will see. what happens. You will
see the sailors In a drunken state, or in
that worse condition when the liquor is
dying out of them. The master starts for
Eea, but he Is often obliged to anchor un
til the men become sober. When they do
get over their cups the chances are that
the master has got to lick them info
shape. The British sailor Is a tough hand
ful, and with a mixed crew of English
men, Scotsmen and Irishmen a master has
a mighty stiff job; and of the three na
tionalities I confess a depraved Scotsman
is worse to control than an Englishman
and Irishman rolled Into one."
"A new reading of the Scotsman's char
acter, is it not?"
"It may be; yet it Is my experience.
This matter of nationality reminds ma
that on board one vessel I sailed we had
a man who came on board drunk in Lon
don, and did not turn to until we crossed
the equator. He was a Swede."
"That" opens up another point. Captain
evidently inferred that' the foreign sea
man was less drunken than the home tar."
"When foreigners first come to this
country and join British ships they are
all right, but the peculiar Influence of our
ships often makes them as bad as the
British seaman. Swedes and Norwegians
particularly drink as heavily as the Brit
ish sailors, but they are easier to handle
than the British."
"What you have said, I think, applies
to three-fourths of the British seamen.
What of the Royal Navy?"
"There you have an entirely different
condition of things. In the Royal Navy
you have the fine flower of British sallor
dom. You have discipline. That is the
whole secret. In the mercantile marine
there Is no discipline. What I have said
applies only to some tramp steamers and
most sailing ships. It does not apply to
the Royal Navy or to the great passenger
liners. There is an entirely different set
of conditions prevailing on board the great
liners. A seaman could not be better off
than on board a Castle liner, a White Star
or Cunard liner, or a P. & O. boat. On
these you have good grub, good wages and
continuity of employment. All the things
we want? to see made universal the sea
man has there. The result is that the
men try to keep their berths, and they do
not go on board drunk. In the tramp
steamer and the sailing ship and sailing
ships are far more numerous than is gen
erally supposed there is no continuity of
service, and the conditions, generally
speaking, are such that there Is little com
.fort and no' discipline on board.- In tne
IbbbEehkV'S' hmmSIbbbIsbbbbbbV
iHEfEIJKHsSUssBssssY
Royal Navy, for instance, you have per
fect discipline. A seaman knows that as
the night follows the day punishment will
follow disobedience. In the mercantile ma
rine a man can do what' he likes, and who
can punish him?"
"Then what does this condition of affairs
tend to when a seaman is anxious to lift
himself out of these drunken and disor
derly surroundings?"
"It simply tends in one direction. Either
a seaman finds a place in one of the great
liners or he leaves the sea altogether.
Ship-owners and philanthropists may say
what? they choose, but that is the effect.
The life on board the average tramp
steamer or sailing ship at present 13 not
worth living."
"The outlook is a hopeless one for the
mercantile marine service, in your opin
ion?" "Not until the people of this country
realize Its Importance and Insist! upon its
being lifted out of its present condition
will the mercantile service be improved.
I do not believe there is a civilized coun
try in the world where you will find more
ignorance of the conditions under which
the sailor lives than In "Britain. Whv in
America, even in Wisconsin or Colorado,
you win nna more knowledge of the sailor
and his ships than you will in the most
populous centers of this country. The
British people, In fact, do not realize tho

ENGLISH MATCH TRUST.
Arrangements Perfected for Com
bining Biff Companies.
NEW YORK, July 5. A dispatch to the
Herald from London says:
Arrangements have been perfected by
which the Diamond Match Company,
limited, of England, becomes amalgamat
ed with Bryant & May, the famous firm
of matchmakers of Bow. While all the
details of the proposed amalgamation are
definitely settled, the actual papers will
not be signed until Thursday next, after
which date the Diamond Match Com
pany will cease to exist as an English
company.
The parties Interested decline to dis
cuss the terms by which the long-standing
feud has been patched up, but it is
generally understood that these contem
plate a division of territory between the
former rival companies, the Diamond
Company- taking the north of England,
Scotland and Ireland, while Bryant &
May devote themselves entirely to the
Midlands and Southern counties. The per
centage of profit from the Liverpool fac
tory of the Diamond Company, which
formerly accrued to the Diamond Match
Company of Illinois, is wiped out in tho
shape of capital awarded to the parent
company in the new combination.
Mr. Barber, chairman of the Diamond
Match Company of Illinois, with Mr.
Smith, the president of the English Com
pany, waited on the'Bryant & Mays direc
tors at the works at Bow to fix up the
details of this agreement. The meeting
was largely perfunctory, as the essence
of the agreement had been settled by cor
respondence some weeks ago. Hence it
only required a formal acknowledgement
on the part of. both boards to ratify it in
such a shape that the lawyers might
draw up the papers.
The combination closes a long-standing
difficulty in the path of the Diamond
Match Company, dating back from 1S96,
when the failure of Moore Bros, threat
ened to involve a wholesale disaster In
Chicago financial circles. The Liverpool
factory of the Diamond Company which
was started in the heydey of the com
pany's prosperity proved a white ele
phant on Its hands after the Moore fail
ure. The other English concern was float
ed as a separate company with 11,000,000
capital, but this hardly helped the stock
holders of the original company Inas
much as all the stock was on their hands,
but the Liverpool factory, under good
management, proved a lucrative business,
cutting largely Into the established trade
of Bryant & May, owing to the super
iority of the Beecher machines over any
thing In use In England. For three years
It had been an open secret that it was
the intention of the Diamond Match Com
pany to dispose of Its English branch to
Bryant & May.
One benefit which Bryant & May ob
tain, besides' the cessation of business
rivalry, is the use of the Beecher ma
chines, which Itself should considerably
enhance their working facilities.

BIG PAK LING IS COMING
MAMMOTH CHINA 3IUTUAL LINER
TO LOAD WHEAT AT PORTLAND.
Will Take the First Steam Cargo of
Wheat This Season Baric Pol-
talloch on Marine Ways.
The first steamship of the 1901-02 grain
fleet from the Pacific Coast will load at
Portland within the next 10 days. Over
half a dozen of the big steam tramps have
been chartered to load at Portland or
San Francisco, but most of them are for
August-September-October loading, and
the Pak Ling will lead the fleet. She Is one
of the China Mutual Steam Navigation
Company's steamers, nd first loaded in
Portland In January. 1S93. That was the
season of the crop failure In France, and
a number of big steamers were pressed
Into service to carry wheat from this
coast to French ports. The Pak Ling was
cleared by Epplnger & Co., with 203,692
bushels of wheat, valued at $177,300, and
went direct to St. Nazalre to discharge.
The steamer has not since visited Port
land, but for the past year has been in
the Government transport service out of
Seattle and San Francisco. She is ad
vertised in the Seattle papers as one of
the newly established line to Europe by
way of the far East, but the fact that
her owners accepted the first business
that was offering after her release from
the transport service would Indicate that
the business in the Oriental route was
rather overdone just at present.
The Pak Ling arrived at Seattle July 4,
and will bo turned back to her owners
by the Government as soon as she Is dis
mantled. She will then come around to
Portland in ballast While Portland
shipped more wheat last season than any
other port on the Pacific Coast, she also
has the distinction of having more of the
cereal still on hand at tide water, and
even the 200,000 bushels which the Pak
Ling will take out of here will not se
riously reduce port stocks. The Pak Ling
will make a total of four ships with a
capacity of 600,000 bushels already under
engagement for July loading. One of
these, the Madagascar, will finish this
week, and the others, the Nal and the
Ecuador, will finish later.
TACOMA HAS CLAIMS.
Sends Ont a Typical Yarn About Jim
Hill's Latest Plans.
TACOMA, July 5. Officials of Dodwell
& Co. still decline to discuss the pub
lished rumor that the steamship line op
erated by the Dodwells has been sold to
J. PIcrpont Morgan. It Is stated that
President Hill, of the Great Northern,
has decided to operate the large freighters
now being built for the road from Taco
ma to the Orient. Private Information
coming from railway officials In St. Paul
and Indirectly from President Hill him
self Is to the effect that the big freighters
will form part of an Immense Oriental
fleet to run In conjunction with both the
Great Northern and the Northern Pacific;
also that several large vessels are to be
purchased at once, and that the Japan
American line, now operated In conjunc
tion with the Great Northern, will In a
Bhort time run Independent of any Ameri
cn railway system.
Usual Seattle Denial.
SEATTLE, July 5. Judge Thomas
Burke, personal representative of James
J. Hill and counsel for the Great North
ern Railroad, was shown the Item sent
out from Tacoma to the effect that the
Great Northern freighters were to run
from that point to the Orient.
"It Is a fake," said Judge Burke.
"Please have the Associated Press deny
that statement unqualifiedly."

Poltalloch Hauled Oat.

RECORD OF THE FOURTH.
Accidents and Fires Throughout the
Country.
CHICAGO, July 5. Revised and complete
reports coming from all parts of the coun
try to the Tribune show the following to
have been the casualties of yesterday due
to celebrating "the glorious Fourth":
Dead, 25; Injured, 1S13; fire loss, $123,185.
Those who were Injured suffered through
the following causes:
Fireworks -ToOILoose gunpowder. 256
Toy pistols 225 Runaways 83
Toy cannon 2441
Fire arms 290J Total 1S13
Last year in Chicago there were no
deaths reported July 5 from toy pistols,
but before the month was out 25 had died
of lockjaw resulting from Injuries, and
tho remainder of the country sent In
equally fatal records. Chicago last year
had one death and 42 Injured. This time
no death Is reported, but there Is a list of
103 injured. The number of wounds from
toy pistols, hewever, Is limited to five,
which indicate:, that the prohibition put
on that dar-Rcious toy was at least par
tially effective.
Of other cities, Philadelphia makes the
largest shewing. It reports 175 casualties
of every kind and description, and Cin
cinnati comes next with 150. New York
was singularly lucky, being behind Chi
cago In the list of injured, but it had three
deaths resulting from an explosion of fire
works, and New London had a premature
explosion of a cannon by which two were
killed. In Qulncy, 111., there was also a
fatality from a runaway caused by a horse
becoming frightened at fireworks, and
there -were a number of Injuries in va
rious cities growing out of the same cause.
In the list of fatalities, explosions of
fireworks and the careless handling of
firearms caused the .majority of deaths;
but over one-third of the Injuries were
caused by tho careless use of fireworks,
more especially sky-rockets. Next to the
fireworks comes the toy pistols in the cas
ualty list. Two hundred and forty-nine
children were Injured by these "toys" In
various cities of the country, and tho
question Is now, what will the fatality list
from this source finally amount to? The
other causes of Injuries divided the honors
fairly well between them, except that the
most serious harm was done Jy the pre
mature explosion of cannon In the hands
of people who were not accustomed to
their use. In several cases unfortunates
lost? hands and arms by this means. A la
mentable case occurred In a small town In
South Dakota, where a boy was Instantly
killed by the explosion of an anvil which
was being used in lieu of a cannon.
The loss by fire resulting from the care
less use of fireworks or. their premature
explosion was less than In previous years,
the fires as a rule being small ones and
the damage light.
Firemen Hnd an Easy Day.
NEW YORK, July 5. In the 21 hours
ending at midnight the total number of
fires was 35, and the total damage done
was only $20i0. The police and fire officials
say this Is the lightest damage they have
ever .known for a Fourth of July, and
they cannot account for It, except that
so many people were fagged out by the
heat of the past few days that a smaller
number than usual celebrated the day
with fireworks, the majority preferring
to seek the cool breezes of the suburbs.
CHICAGO, July 5. Never In the history
of the fire department has Chicago had
such a quiet Fourth. From midnight,
July 3, until midnight last night, there
were 41 alarms," with a loss estimated
at J5000.
To Prevent Theater Strikes.
NEW YORK, July 5.--The various local
unions connected with the mechanical
trades In the theaters" report that a move
ment has been started on a large scale to
fix on a policy by which all strikes In the
aters will be avoided! These unions in
clude the scene painters, scene shifters,
stage carpenters, calcium-light operators
and bill posters. Philip Kelly.,, business
agent of the Theatrical Protective Union
of Stage Carpenters of this city, said that
at the coming convention of the National
Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes,
which will begin in Toledo on July 15,
the arrangement of a plan to prevent
any more strikes will be the principal
business to come before the body. The
different unions In New York connected
with the mechanical departments of the
theaters will send delegates to the conven
tion. Mr. Kelly thinks that some system
for arbitration will be agreed upon. He
said further:
"There Is a feeling among the theatri
cal employes all over the country that the
time has come for doing away with
strikes. Strikes are getting out of date
In our business, though there may be ex
treme cases when, unfortunately, people
have to strike. I am in hopes, however,
that a plan can be arranged at the con
vention by which the strike as a whole
will be ended in the theaters."
Pain In the side nearly always comes
from a disordered liver and is promptly
relieved by Carter's Little Liver Pills.
