It Will Be Celebrated in Good Style for | Two Days. BERNARDINO, CaL., June 20.—— Preparations for a two days’ celebration of the 4th and 5th of July are about com- pleted. It will be a very elaborate affair the first day. The Ninth Regiment will be in the parade and there will be other fine attractions. There will also be the usual literary and musical exercises in the pavilion during the forenoon, with a chorus of 1000 children in patriotic songs. In the afternoon there will bea concert by all the bands in attend- ance. Tne parade will take place at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, thus avoiding the | heat of the day. The whole is to be con- cluded with a grand military ball. The second next day will be devoted to fun, e encing with the appearance of Fals army, which will form a proces- sion and run the city till noon, when a band of Indians will succeed them and make it lively. All day there will be sports in running, jumping, catching a greased pig, bicycle racing, etc., on the main | streets of the city, and the evening will { conclude with an illumination and a grand masquerade and fancy dress ball, STRANDED AT SEATTLE Sailors Make Serious Charges of Cruelty Against a Captain. Forced to Leave Thelr Vessel With- out Receiving the Money Due Them. SATTLE, Wasg., June 20.--One of the ors of the barkentine Retriever, San rges of mistreatment of himself and some of his shipmates by Captain Bogan of the vessel, who, he says, made them victims of a fraud in signing them, and on heir arrival at Port Hadlock driving them from the vessel without a settlement of their claims. This sailor says he told Captain Bogan when he shipped that he knew nothing of the sea, but the captain told him it made no difference, and instructed him to sign the roll with the commissioner. Bogan also promised the man $25 per month and some necessary clothing. The sailor says he signed the roll, then went aboard the barkentine, was imme- diately put under guard, no clothing being given him, and was compelled to sleep on bare boards infested with vermin. The days the vessel lay at anchor in San Francisco he was not allowed to go on shore, and after the vessel sailed be was sin and cold in wet clothes, without a change, until the vessel arrived at Port Hadlock. There he was told with an oath to get ashore. was told to go to— and get it. Four others, he alleges, were treated in the same manner. The sailor claims they were forced to ve, and he charges it to having signed hat purported to be a legitimate shipping | agreement, but which turns out to be some- z else, by which he is defrauded out of his wages. The men signing, he claims, are made to appear as skilied seamen, although at the time of signing they may protest that they have never been to sea. Thisenables the aptain at the end of the passage to refuse to pay them because they are not “skilled”’ seamen, as shown by the shipping paper: The five men referred to are utterly des- titute, and are seeking to obtain redress.

SEATTLE, WasH., June 20.—Thirty odd suits aggregating more than $600,000, grow- ing out of the Roslyn mine horror three vears ago, will be dismissed in the Federal court, a settlement having been effected by the Northern Pacific Coal Company, the owners of the mines. The company agreed to pay to the widows of the victims $1000 each and to each of the children $100. Only one suit has been tried, resulting in a vic- tory for the compan; i TALE OF A SURVIVOR. He Reached Shore After Being Three Days Without Food or Water. SAN BERNARDINO, CarL., June 20.— John Alder and T. J. Kennard of Red- lands, who went to Manzanillo to try to recover the body of W. H. Alder, lost on the Colima, returned last evening. They had to travel from Guadalajara to Colima, a distance of 350 miles, by stage and horse- back. When they left Manzanillo, one week ago, not a body had come ashore at that place. hey saw W. H. Bryan of Redlands at Manzanillo, a telegram having been sent an to siay there till his friends arrived. Bryan says he and Alder were standing on the hurricane deck when the ship went down, and that is the last he saw of Alder. Bryan sank, but when he came to the sur- face he caught hold of a skiff withont oars or thote-pins, on which he drifted several raft. On this he stayed the remainder of the day and all the night, and next morn- ing was picked up by two sailors. They had no oars, but on the third day secured three oars from another raft containing four survivors, whose names Bryan did not learn, and by the 2id of the current which set inward they reached shore after three days and four nights without food or water, Bryan bas not recovered entirely from the privation and exposure. He accepted fifty Mexican dollars, a new suit of clothes and a ticket to New York from the agents of the Pacific Mail and proceeded on his journey. e e An article of clothing that is indispensa- ble among the Esquimaux is the ‘‘kar-pee- tuk’’ or skin coat.

At Borgstedt, when the Marblehead turned the sharp carve, there was disclosed about 2000 soldiers formed in a hollow square, while the hill was crowned with artillery. The opposite bank was kept by 1000 infantry and some artillery. Thesud- den appearance of the soldiery had a start- ling effect. The position is an excellent strategic one.

The immense crowd of people who had assembled on the Holte- nau festplatz to witness the spectacle set up a mighty cheer as the imperial yacht was ghted. Five minutes later she had | steamed up to the locks, which she en- tered at 12:35 o’clock. The Emperor stood upon the high bridge behind the main- mast attired in the full uniform of an admiral of the German navy, suggesting the well-known picture, “With F team Ahead.” The bands of the regularand veteran troops struck up ‘‘Heil der Rieger- kranz,’ which the Kaiser acknowledged by a salute. At 12:40 o’clock all of the ships in the bay fired an imperial salute. It was a grand spectacle. On each side of the lock was drawn up a company of the First Footguards of Potsdam with & band, and a company of the Kaiserin's Flensburg regiment were lined on the north shore in front of the harbor office, with the marine band. There was continuous cheering as the Hohenzollern ssed through and went to her anchorage, followed by the Kaiser Adler.

The Dlazing fluid dropped on the carpet and Mrs. Johns’ dress of a thin material was instantly ignited. ‘With rare presence of mind Mrs. Johns | set the lamp down carefully, although her hand was severely burned, and hastily | closing the doors to shut off any possible | draft, she jumped into bed. Then rolling | herself in the blankets, she smothered the { flames on her garments. This accom | plished, she extinguished the still blazing lamp, and having thus averted the danger of explosion, completed her work of put- ting out the fire on the carpet. Then, according to all precedents, Mrs. Johns should have proeeeded to faint, but | instead she enveloped her burned hand in flour and sweet oil and sent for a physi- cian. Dr. Walker responded, dressed th burns, which, though painful and some- what extensive, are not serious. 2 1, 1895, THE GREAT COMEDIAN OF THE WEST, FERRIS HARTMAN, Speaks Well of Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla.

SEATTLE, WasH, June 20.—Bogus cer- tificates found on two Chinamen arrested Monday night are believed to have been manufactured by the San Francisco gang | recently jailed. The two certificates found | on the captured Chinamen bear the name of Collector Welburn, “By a deputy.” It is a palpable forgery, badly executed by a tyro in the business.

B e R S e T S e S S S el STOCKTON IS IN DANGER, Farmers Have Interfered With the North Branch of the Calaveras. Their Work May Result In the Most Serious Flood Ever Recorded. STOCKTON, CarL., June 20.—It is re- ported that farmers have been interfering with the north branch of the Calaveras River in such a way that an immense vol- ume of water will be turned into Mormon channel next winter. It is thought that if the mischievous work done by the farmers is not undone by the City Council Stock- ton next year will have a flood much larger than she has experienced as yet. The north branch of the Calaveras River is a clear stream which makes out of the main river about a mile and a half north- east of Bellota and rejoins the river about three miles off, or below Bellota. Mor- mon channel makes out of the Cala- veras at Bellota. The farmers have put a dam across the mnorth branch of its upper end, thus preventing any water irom entering the north branch. Heretofore an immense volume of water left the Cala- veras River during the time of freshets and flowed through the north branch. ‘When it re-entered the river it was too far below the head of the Mormon channel to affect that stream,which, as just explained, makes out of the Calaveras at Bellota, or three miles above the point where the north branch re-enters the main Calaveras stream. If the drainage system adopted by the last City Council is carried out, fu. ture overflows will be prevented. It is proposed to bond the city under an act passed by the last Legislature, and | especial election will probably be held for | | this purpose soon. The people will un- | questionably vote for the proposed drain- | age system to prevent future overflows, and the work can be completed by next | winter. This will effectually prevent Stockton from floods for all time. HIS MOTHER AS CAMILLE. Ex-Speaker Crisp’s Boyhood Recollec- tions of the Stage in America. Ex-Speaker Crisp’s family was of the stage. And, indeed, it was this profes- sion of the theaters by his parents which furnished Sheffield, England, to the ex- Speaker as a birthplace. Both Crisp's | father and mother were Americans born | and bred. And it was while his father was fulfilling an English engagement that | the leader of the Georgian Democracy was born. Not only were Crisp’s father and mother stage folk, but his brothers as well. One of his brothers perished at the burn- ing Brooklyn Theater many years ago. He was playing at that theater at the time. | Not long ago Phea appeared in Washing- | fon in the role of Camille. Crisp, then | Speaker of the House, was in attendance. | In the interim between the second and | | third acts he turned to a gentleman who occupied a senttinst behind him, “Thisis the first time I've been to the | theater for many months,” said Crisp. “It | struck me allatonce that I'd like to sce this Plny ‘Camille.” I haven’t seen ‘Ca- | mille’ since I was a mere boy, many yvears } ago, On that occasion my mother played ! the part of Camille, while my father was } Armand. And,” concluded the Speaker, | while a smile settled about the corners of his kind, friendly eyes, “while I would not | claim that my mother was the greatest | Camille that ever lived, I mustsay that the impression which still dwells with me is that she played it a great deal better | than does this lady.” At this point the | curtain went up and the Speaker settled back for the third actand the_clustering memories it brought in its train.—Wash- | ington Star. | .

The friends of Billy McHale, who is }ioy}ular with tbe bankersand brokers along Chird stieet, are having a quiet laugh at that young man’s expense. Ome of Mc- Hale's friends, while passing a hatstore during one of last week’s sizzling hot days, | noticed him inside engaged in negotiating for the purchase of a straw hat. Now, | Billy is particularly tidy in his dress, and, like most people possessing that character- istic, is somewhat_sensitive regarding ad- verse criticism. Knowing this, the wag- gish friend determined to play a ].rncticml joke. Despite the roiling hot sun the joker visited twenty or thirty of Billy’s friends in different parts of the city and related the fact of the purchase of the hat. He then arranged to have McHale at a certain resort that evening, and in- structed all the friends to drop in one at a time, and remarked in an off-hand way: hat’s a nice hat you've got, Billy, but s too old for you. That shape was in- tended for a man 50 years old.” Billy started in w0 explain to the first six or eight friends; that he was tired of flip- | pant straw hats, as they made one look so giddy; then he swore at the salesman, but v, when twenty-five friends had criti~ d the new headpiece, Billy grew furious ad tearing the unlucky hat from his head, e dashed it to the floor, and with a wild vell jumped upon it. “There’s the hat, take it, keep it, and you can all go to blazes!” The next day Billy appeared in his old hat.—Philadelphia Record.
