Teller will go to his mountain home at Central City, Col., fer a week or two to recuperate. During the campaign he will deliver a number of speeches in the interest of the silver tick- et in Illinois and Indiana, and probably also in Ohio and several other eastern states and in California. “Just now it looks as if Bland or Boles were in the lead, with Bland a little ahead, if anything,” Senator Teller sald yesterday at Denver, when asked regarding the situation at Chicago. “I belfeve that the democratic party will declare for sil- ver at 16 to 1. The silver people are too much in earnest to allow a straddle. “I do not think the gold democrats will bolt the convention, but they will knife the ticket at the polls. The gold forces of the country will be a unit in November.” “What would you advise should the dem- ocratic party declare unequivocally for sil- ver?” he was asked. I would advise all the silver forces to ort it, for that is the only way we can he answered. “We must meet the enemy with a solid front. I believe that if the silver forces unite, and there is a genuine silver ticket in the field on a straight silver platform, we will succeed in November. Silver is gaining strength with amazing rapidity in all parts of the country, and I am sure it will continue to grow from now oa. It is the only sub- ject discussed, and the adherents of it will gain.

ROCKVILLE, Md., July 3, 1896. Mayor Reading and Messrs. S. B. Hege and James F. Allen, constituting the spe- cial committee on water and lighting of the town commissioners, took steps last night which assure the introduction of artesian water and the establishment of an electric lighting plant in Rockville be- fore snow flies. Mr. George C. Morgan, the Chicago engineer, who came here. at the invitation of the committee to look over the ground, spent yesterday and the day before examining the neighborhood, and reported definitely last night that the introduction of water and electricity could be accomplished within the amount of $20,000, which the town commissioners are authorized to expend for the purpose, the money to be raised by the sale of bonds running tweaty years and bearing 4 per cent interest. Mr. Morgan reported that the most eltgible locatton for secur- ing an abundant supply of water at the least depth of boring was in the water- shed near Horner's lane, east of the B. and O. railroad tracks, and explained to a minute degree the manner in which the work should be prosecuted. The com- mittee, which comprises a majority of the town commissioners, decided to recom- mend the employment of Mr. Morgan to draw up at once the plans and specifica- tions for the water works and electric light works, and a special meeting is to be held to formally adopt this report. A most gratifying fact was shown at Jast night's meeting. A very close com- putation was made of the expenses of the proposed improvements, including the cost of running the water works and electric plant, the interest on the bonds and the amount to be placed each year in the sinking fund for their redemption, and an estimate was made of the probable re- ceipts from water takers and the users of electric lights. This showed conclusively, in the opinion of the committee, that the improvements can be introduced without increasing the taxes of the town in any degree whatever, while at the same time the town can be provided with electric Hghting in abun- dance for street and alley purposes and twenty-five fire plugs put in for protec- tion «of property without cost to the municipality. The estimates made by the committee were upon the basis of $8 per year for each house taking water and 43 cents per month for eaca electric lamp. It is expected that Mr. Morgan will com- plete the plans for the boring of the well in a week, and that the work of going down for water will begin before August change—-make 1.

The latter used the same steady forehand game which proved so disas- treus to Eddie Hall yesterday, but today it did not do the trick 80 well. Several of Whitman's line shots were especially noteworthy, but the distinctive feature of his game is a peculfar spiral curve which he seems to hold up his sleeve for critical occasions, and which usually scores a clean ace.” TRAP SHOOTING TOURNAMENT.

Does Not Favor Altgeld’s Proposed One-Day Convention. The suggestion of Altgeld that the con- vention can be made a one-day affair ani should be so made by the controlling ele- ment, has not been received with favor in Chicago either by the well-known lead- ers, who are there, or by the friends of the rrany candidates. : Senator Blackburn of Kéntucky, who ar- rived Wednesday, and who was very busy yesterday, sald: “While E don't suggest cr approve delaying {n the: matter, I must say that I am utterly opposedito gag law or rushing. +o ‘Let this conventton be one marked by fairness. We have nothing to lose and much to gain. Let us gtveveverybody a fair hearing, and then act to. our best judg- ments. I think the cause.of silver would be aided by such action; andthe cry of gag rule and unfairness could not be raised, no matter what the result.” - Asked what his views were upon the ques- tion of making Senator Hill of New York chairman, he said: “Senator Hill would un- doubtedly make a very impartial chairman, but he f allied with the gold, forces, and it would be a roundabout way of pro- cedure for us to turn ove? ‘to the minority of the convention its organization. It is not to be supposed that the majority are going to jeopardize their own work and chances. For Gov.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 3.—Two thou- sand enthusiastic base ball “fans” met the Cleveland club on its arrival at the Union station this morning and marched through the principal business streets carrying «p- propriate floats bearing on the Louisville trouble. One hundred immense cannon fire- crackers were exploded as a salute. The procession was headed by a brass band, followed by thousands of shouting men, carriages, tallyhos and a drum corps.

The Departmental League held its regu- lar monthly meeting last evening at the W. L. LC. Armory, with President Sousa in the chair, and several matters of in- terest to the members were decided. A pin was chosen as the insignia of the league, and the transfer of Mr. Havens from the Government Printing Office team to the Washington Light Infantry team was sanc- Uoned. The game between the Washington Light Infantry and Bureau of Engraving and Printing which takes place tomorrow afternoon, at National Park was discussed, and the hour changed from 4:30 to } o'clock, in order that the scores of the league games might be posted.

Long Notes, In Philadelptia toda; It is Mercer's turn to pitch. Philadelphia kindly lost with us yester- ay. Now for a finish fight between the con- testants for sixth place. Washington plays Pittsburg two games here next week before starting west. McJames pitched a game that cannot be bettered by any twirler in the league. It is a relfef to know that Jimmie is in shape, for the pitching department seems a Lit out of tune just now. Cartwright had only ene chance to drive in a run yesterday and he accepted it handsomely. Every other time he went to bat he was either the first hand up or there was no one on the bases. Selbach felt rather sore over his strike- outs, two in succession, as he has aspira- tons to better his batting average. He was consoled, however, by making the first hit for Washington. He struck at eight balls successively before touching one. Boston deserves great credit for the base- running ability displayed in the fourth inning. Two of the runs that were tallied were due to the swiftest and most skillful sort of scouring around the diamond. The slides to the plate by Duffy and Lowe were gilt-edged. De Montreville’s work in the latter part of the game was next to being marvelous. He seemed to have a dozen hands and arms ten feet long, and his throwing was like rifle shooting. At the rate he has just developed he will soon be the sensa- tional short stop of the country. Dick Cooley, who has been traded by St. Louls to Philadelphia, left for his home in Topeka, Kan., last night and will not join the Philiies until he has fully recovered his health. He 1s suffering from malaria. It is said that Connor threatens to re- sign a3 manager of the Browns if Quinn's release Is not recalled. Quinn, who was released by Von der Ahe, received offers from three clubs— Baltimore, Indianapolis and Louisville. He wired Mr. Hanlon for his terms. Gumbert was released by tne Brooklyns yesterday and at once signed with Phila- delphia. Gumbert cost his club $550 a game, as he pitched only two complete games this season. Third Raseman McGraw received from the Baltimore club on pay day a check for $1,200, his salary from the beginning of the season up to the present time. Mc- Graw will not play for a month or so. Pittsburg will sign Monte Cross, released by St. Louis, for utility man. Joe Sullivan succeeds Cross as short stop. eee Minnesota Silver’ Republicans.

The only way to do it is to take something which will help your stomach and stimulate it to do ite work. If you are tired out you do not like to move your legs or arms. If your stomach is tired it does not like to digest; it cannot do its work. ‘To eat, or even to eat with relish does not neces« sarily mean that one is being nourished.

When the Fourth of July is not more than a week or two off, it is well to make your preparations fittingly to celebrate the glorious Independence day, and not wait until the day itself to get ready. IL. To erjoy thoroughly all the pleas- ures of the blissful anniversary, purchase a pair of tight-fitting asbestos gloves. With a pair of asbestos gloves on, you could hold the pin of a pinwheel in your hand without getting your hand burned IIL. Be very kind in these late June days to your uncles and your aunts and your grandmothers. When the writer was a smal! boy he was very kind to seven un- cles, six aunts aud two grandmothers for fourteen days before the Fourth of July, with tne result that the seven unclagggave him half a dollar each, the six aunts pre- sented him with a quarter apiece, and the two grandmothers joined in presenting him with a five-dollar bill, so that on the morn- ing of the Fourth he was the proud pos- sessor of $10; and $10, with firecrackers selling at the rate of ten for one cen’ meant that the writer cculd have 1),.00) firecrackers to set off. It must be said, however, that he set off only 5,000 of them, and spent the balance on soda water, two glasses of which, like a good boy, he gave to his two grandmothers. IV. When the Fourth comes, do not for- get to rise up at 3:30 o'clock in the morn- ing. There is not much fun in setting off firecrackers in broad daylight when every- body is wide awake; and, besides this, the big boys always start in with cannon, and if you lie in bed after 3:30 o'clock you are liable to miss the greatest noise of the day. V. If you live in a neighborhood where there are a number of reckless boys, do not fail to wear a mask. Retkless boys do not look where they throw their lighted crackers, as a rule, and it has happened that innocent little fellows heve had their noses burned by the carelessness of others. A mask will save the bridge of your nose, and. of course, you all know that if the bridge of your nose is burned it is a hard thing to get over. VI. Do not throw your torpedoes at the poor .ittle cats that wander forlornly about. The poor little cats are so soft that the torpedces merely hurt them, without going off (so that neither you nor the cats can possibly enjoy the fun of It. VIL Keep on the right side of the cook. Do not irritate her, and give her to under- stand that she is the dearest, nicest old cook in the world, for she is the custodian of all the empty lard and mustard cans in the house; and when you come right down to it, there is more fun and noise to be had out of a bundle of firecrackers set off in lard cr mustard can than in two pa touched off in the open air. And, what is more, if you burn your fingers she will in most cases be the person you can reach the quickest, and who will soothe your trouble and pain by putting flour and butter on your blisters. VIII. Be careful where you lay your lighted pieces of punk. The writer once put a lighted piece of punk on the floor of the back piazza, and, forgetting it, sat down upon it five minutes later. There was an explosion right away, of grief. TX. Be generous to your little girl friends. Remember that when your firecrackers have given out they may have some tor- pedoes left. X. When night comes on, no matter how early in the morning you may have got up, Temember not to get sleepy. The best part of the Fourth of July, after all, is in the skyrockets and Roman candles and pin- wheels. XI. Do not under any circumstances set off sissers in the. palm of your hand. The writer did that once, and he has really never enjoyed the Fourth of July since. XII. And, finally, don’t forget that you are an American, who will some day be a man or woman, and try to do things on the Fourth which, when you get to be a man or a woman, will make you proud of the day, yourseif and your country. This hint is, after all, the most important one of all, and if you will ask your uncles or your aunts or your dear old grandmothers to tell you all about it—the day, how tt came to be and what it means—now, a week or two before the day dawns, you wil} enjoy it all the more, and will be happy to think that you live in the land which is the only one that clebrates “the glorious Fourth.” <2. Disasterous Fire at Galvest: Galveston, Texas, had a $150,000 fire yes- terday afternoon. The Mallory Line's sheds, extendng from pier 24 to pier 28, burned, together with contents. A train of twenty- six empty freight cars on the track was consumed. The fire started at the foot of 25th street, and spread in both directions. The firemen could make no headway, and the flames licked up everything in reach. The sheds were owned by the Mallory Line, and the docks burned were the property of the wharf company. In the main shed was stored 5,000 bales of jute and a large amount of bagging, ties and general m chandise. All the sheds were frame. Spon- taneous combustion is given as the origin of the fire. Smoke was seen issuing from the jute and warehouse, and soon the jute burst into flames and burned like tinder. The secretary of the wharf company says the sheds and wharves will be rebuilt at ‘once. Happy ——__+00_. Killed on Rafiroad. Wednesday an unknown white man, who is supposed to be Percy Evans of Roanoke, Va., was killed on the Baltimore and Po- tomac railroad near Seabrook. On him was found a sip of paper bearing the name “Tom Cole, work house, Washing- ton, D. C.” This man Cole ts still in the work hovse. He says that a man sen- tenced to the work house under the name of McCann told him he was Percy Evans and took his name and address, saying he would write to him when he reached home. —____ w Filed.
