Cleveland, Ohio, June 24.—The | settlement of the street railway 3 attered last night when the strikers at a meeting rejected, by an unanimous vote, the proposition submitted by the company to the spe- 1 committee of the city council and to which the strikers’ committee agreed to yesterday afternoon.

The Recently Appointed Cardinals Presented With Red Hats, Rome, June 24. — The pope held a public consistory to present the hats of the recently made cardinals, with the exception of the papal nuncio at Madrid and the archbishop of Gortz. The ceremony occurred for the first time in the hall of the Loggi, near the entrance of St. Peter’s. About 30,000 people were present, including the dip- lomatie dignitaries and Latin corps, church dignitaries and Latin-American bishops. The pope, who was in good health, entered and departed in the Sedia Gestoria, escorted by the Fla- belli. He conducted the ceremony with ease in spite of its length, and the strength of his voice was much marked when the pontiff gave the benediction. The pope was loudly ac- claimed on his entry into and de- parture from the hall. He afterward held a secret consistory, with the usual ceremony of opening and shut- ting the mouths of the new cardinals. ‘The latter were received in the pope’s private apartments. At the secret consistory the pope announced among the appointments to bishoprics, Fath- er Christie, Oregon; Father Denis O’Conor, Toronto, and Father-Clon- tyre, Three Rivers, Que.

The birds have been practicing glees, but today They gave up their concert and flew away; And the locusts and grasshoppers, noisy and shrill, Could not make themselves heard,and so they kept still; And the blustering wind went off in a huff, Since nobody noticed how loud he could puff. And the clouds rolled up from the west in a row, For they thought that the noise in the world below Was the voice of the thunder to call them together, And so they began to make showery weather, And the Man in the Moon, being great- ly perplexed To know whatever would happen next. Wished for hands or feet, as well as a face, To cover his ears up, or run from his place. And the baby stars opened their bright little eyes, And stared down below with the great- est surprise To see how the rockets shot up in the sky But they never guessed out What it all was about, That we were just keeping the Fourth of July. —Peresis Gardiner. AN EPISODE OF THE FOURTH. Oh, yes, we had a glorious time, of course. We always do. We didn’t be- “I FELT SOMETHING HOT AGAINST MY LEG.” gin firing till 7 o’clock, partly becat3e it wakes people up, and partly because it is so silly to use up all your crack- ers before breakfast, as some boys do, and have none for the rest of the day, and have everyone to think you a nui- sance beside. We had a good lot of crackers, and my horn was almost the biggest size there is, though papa did say it was a pity I didn’t get a fog-horn. I am not sure whether he was in ‘earnest, how- ever; he isn’t always. We had no accidents; that is, noth- ing to speak of. Polly burned two or three of her fingers a little, but we made that all right with soda and a rag, and she never cried a bit; but there was an episode, and it happened to me. This was the way it happened. I wanted both my hands to use, and I had a piece of punk in one of them, and there was no place to lay it down, and everybody else’s hands were full, too, so I—well, I just put it into my pocket for a minute. It was lighted, but I didn’t think it would do any harm just for a minute. I forgot that I had a whole bunch of firecrackers in that same pocket. - Suddenly I heard some one cry out, “Bom is afire!” and then there came DEFECTIVE PAGE ib | a puff of smoke in my face, and then —pop! snap! bang! crack! fizz! whizz! crackelty-bang! the crackers began to go off in my pocket! Everybody was yelling, and just for BILLY TOOK IT UP AND SHOOK OUT THE CRACKERS. a minute I didn’t know what to do. i ran, but the crackers ran with me, and the faster I went, the harder they popped. Then all at once I saw what to do, and I pulled off my jacket and threw it on the grass. Luckily it was my jacket, and not my trouser-pocket! Billy took it up and shook out the crackers, and then he turned out the pocket, but there wasn’t much left to turn. It was just a black rag, and it dropped into little pieces. Then there was a big piece that looked as if it had once been white, and that, they said, was my handkerchief, but I should never have known it. Well, of course they all laughed at me a good deal, but I didn’t mind much, for it really was very funny, I suppose; but my advice to other boys is: Don’t carry crackers in your pock- et, and if you do, don’t put a lighted slow-match in with them! —Laura E. Richards. LOUVIE’S FOURTH WITH “OLD ARIZONY.” It was nearly noon when “old Arizony,” coming down from his camp for a bucket of milk, found a lonesome little boy standing guard on the door- step while mamma was resting within. “An’ so you ain’t at the picnic?” he said. How’s that? feelin’ right good, an’ you stayed at home with her so’s your pa could take everybody ‘else to the picnic. Well, that’s rough! I didn’t git to go my- self, bxt sure’s I’m a old gold-miner from Arizony I’m a-thinkin’ right now “AN’ SO YOU AIN’T AT THE PICNIC?” . old Arizona, as he put Louis on his of celebratin’ this Fourth if I can run j acrost anybody that'll jine in an’ help!” Your ma wasn’t “Oh, if mamma was well I——” Louis began, and just then mamma, hearing them talking, opened the door; and she said she felt ever 80 much better, and he must go and help Mr. Arizona celebrate. And besides the bucket of milk, she filled one also with cakes and pies. “Well, I reckon this beats all the ridey-go-rounds at the picnic!” said old Arizona, as he put Louie on his burro tied at the garden gate. And Louie thought so, too, as the burro carried him, easy as a cradle, all the way to old Arizona’s camp, where the big spruce stood up like a tent over the pack-saddles and picks and pans and blankets. “Now, this is a ginuwine picnic,” said old Arizona, as he set out a whole camp-kettle of cold venison. “Pitch right in.” And Louie politely “pitched in” to the venison, and old Arizona as polite- ly “pitched in” to the milk and pies. Then for the first time Louie thought of it, and jumped right up with, “Oh, say, Mr. Arizona, how are we going to celebrate ’thout any firecrackers?” “Ha! ha! haw!” laughed old Ari- zona. “As if I ain’t got the biggest an’ the best you ever see! Ginuwine cannot ones. Why, one of my giant crackers’ll go off louder than all the crackers at the picnic put Looky here!” He reached to a root behind him, and showed Louie a bundle of the queerest looking “crackers.” He laid one on a boulder and lit a together! “THAT BEATS ANYTHING AT THE PICNIC.” fuse; and didn’t Louie jump at the noise when it cracked that boulder! “Now we'll have some water-works,” said old Arizona. And he dropped one with a lighted fuse in the creek by the spruce, and it went off with a splutter that sent the water to the spruce’s top. “And now we must have a seal big cannon one,” he said; and he put three whole crackers in a hole in a dead cot- tonwood. And in a minute that tough old tree flew everywhere in splinters, while a roar louder than thunder went rolling through the hills. “I reckon that beats anything at the picnic,” said old Arizona. And Louie said that it beat the pic- nic all to pieces.—J. S. Oakling. Hirsute Statistics. Blonde hair is finer than that of any other color. By actual count it has been ascertained that 400 hairs to the square inch grow upon the head of a blonde beauty. The brown comes next with 350, then comes the black with 325, and the red with 250 or 260. After counting the hairs growing on an inch “‘{ square it has been estimated that on the head of a blonde there will be about 149,000 hairs, while a brown suit of tresses will have 109,000, a black 102,000, and a red 90,000.
