DAKLAND NEVER WAS MORE QUIET. Pleasure-Seekers Flocked to the Surrounding Parks and Hills. FIRES AND ACCIDENTS. They Were of a Very Mild Order and No Serious Dam- age Was Done. SALVATION ARMY PICNIC. Celebrations Were Held at Many In- terior Points in the County. - | OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcisco CALn,] | 908 Broadway, July 4. ) Oakland has never been quieter on a Na- tional holiday than 1t was to-day. Even when the forest primeval stood where the | electric tracks now traverse Broadway there was as much sign of life as to-day. | The city took a holiuay, but it took n: out of town. There was not a vestige of | anything approaching a celebration, no| attempt at decoration and not a surplus of firecrackers. A few small boys met with accidents and Dr. Akerly attended to two rather serious cases, but no severe acci- dents were reported. There were a few small fires, but the damage was very slight. What might have developed into a big blaze called the department to Sixth avenue and East Eleventh street. A block of old barnsand houses is located there and surrounding * everything is dry grass several feet high. Firecrackers set the brusb on fire in sev- eral places, and for atime the houses were threatened, but by fizhting the flames from several points serious damage was prevented. There was much growling in the drunk department of the City Hall. Under ordi- nary conditions last night’s crop would have been released to-morrow, but as Sun- day follows the Fourth there is no relief for the unfortunates till Monday morning. Some of the celebrants were so muddled this morning that Jaijer Barnett lost his patience explaining to his guests how it all happened. The Szlvation Army held a reunion of the bay citiesand townsat Beulah Park. [t was largely attended and officers and sol- diers gathered from all paris. Adjutant Egner, who left Oakiand two years ago to go and establish the work in Honolulu, was present and gave a very gratifying ac- count of the work in the islands, where several flourishing stations are now founded.

OAKLAND, Cavn., July 4.—The follow- ing statements regarding the fruit crop and prospects were compiled by the Hay- wards Journal: In the East last Wednesday Alameda and Santa Clare cherries sold for 20 cents & pound. The pear slug is doing considerable damage in many Sen Lorenzo orchards. A solution of paris green is recommended—one pound to 200 gallons of water, with & mixture of so8D. Messrs. 1. H. Begier, J.

Miss Clara Ellis Painfully but Not Seriously Wounded. Boys Supposed to Have Advantage of a Patriotic Ordinance. Taken OAXLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, July 4. ‘ Miss Clara Eilis of Bray avenue, Fruit- vale, was shot and seriously wounded to- night on: Webster street. The shooting was evidently done by some one wio was firing builets instead of the blank car - tridges aliowed by the city ordinance to be dise lrfis«l on the 3d, 4th and 5th of July. Miss Etlis was walking along Webster street, and when near Eleventh street she | was struck in the cheek by a buliet which fortunately had spent most of its force. The missiie plowed through the lady’s cheek and lodged in the back of the neck. The injured woman was taken to a drugstore and Dr. Johnson probed for the bullet. As it was not in a dangerous posi- tion he succeeded in extracting it. iss Ellis was sent home after the operation andkwill, itis expected, recover in a few weeks. Several raports were made to-night that young men were taking advantage of the blank cartridee ordinance and were firing bullets. The mishap that befeil Miss A Patriotic Service.

NO REASON WAS GIVEN. Land Was Bought With Money Issued for the Home Guard. NEVER SAW ACTIVE SERVICE. Now the Veterans C nsider That They Are Eatitled to a Small Secticn. OAKRLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CAY.L,} 908 Broadway, July 4. The old soldicrs of Haywards are de- spondent. They are without a special velerans’ plat 1n any cemetery and they feel that they should be accorded the privilege. For a long time the veteransin that neighborhood. have been trying to procure a plat of their own, but so far they have not been succeesful. Several weeks ago they Leld a meeting to discuss t ‘e matter, and as a result a communication was sent to the trustees of Lone Mountain Cemetery asking that enough land be aonated to provide for the veterans, of whom there are not a great number. They agreed to keep the plat in order and to make it one of the most beautiful spots in the ceme- tery. They waited a long time for a reply and when it finally came it was not the kind of answer that they had expected. It merely stated that the trastees were *‘un- able to comply with your request.” The reply was very short, and its shortness has had the same effect on the old soldier: as stroking the bair the wrong way has o a cat. The veterans feel that they were at least entitled to a reason for the refusal to com- ply with their request, and they Ieel sore toward Trustees Rice, Dole, Linnaker ana Luce because no explanation was given. “There is much ground on which to base our request,’” said one of the veterans to- day. ‘““We would not have asked for a mately entitled to it. In the first place, our request was a very respectful one. We offered to take good care of the plat, to plant flowers and keep them cultivated, and to see that the graves were neat and frequently decorated. We also wished to erect a flagstaff, so that on all public occa- sions Old Glory could float over the graves of those who loved her more than them- selves. We would also have tried to pro- cure some permanent decorations in the way of old pieces of ordnance from the | Army and Navy Department, and alto- gether we would have made the plat a place of beauty and suggestively histor- ical, ‘At the time of the war what was known as the Home Guard was crganized at Hay- wards. It was carried on as a body of mili- tiamen, but they were never called upon. Indeed, the idea was that they were sim- ply organized for action in case actual hos- tilities should reach the coast. Money was raised for that part of the guard, but as it was never pressed into service the fund was not used. “ Sfter some time had elapsed the money was invested in a cemetery, and each mem- ber of the Home Guard obtained title to a lot for about $10. The whole cemetery was bought for a small sum, and we think we are entitled to a piece of it. The ama- teur soldiers will be buried in it, but the veterans who saw active serviceare denied the privilege of being buried in a ‘soldier’s plat” ” A QUIET _ CELEBRATION, The Day Closely Observed as a Holiday by All Classes of the Community. Meeting of the People’s Party and of the Board of Halth ALAMEDA, CAL., July 4.—The National anniversary was celebrated here to-day by the display of bunting and flags on the public buildings and the closing of all the business places on the streets. It is not known when the day was so closely ob- served before. The trains and electric cars carried three-fourths of the residents out of the city, and left the stay-at-home boy and the firemen to hold high carnival with them- selves and bundes of firecrackers. No fires have occurred, and the only ac- cident reported is that of a member of the fourth estate, whose white waistcoat and shirt bosom were demolished by the burst. ing of a big redjack firecracker. Health Measures. ALAMEDA, CAL., July 4.—The regular meeting of the Board of Health was held last night. The Health Officer’s report showed 28 births and 13 deaths for the month of June. The contagious disesses reported were: Scarlet fever 1, measles 2, tuber- culosis 1 and chitken-pox 5. The Sanitary Inspector reported that he bad inspected fifteen new buildings and collected $50 in fees. Dr. Lubbock made reference to the canned cream and bottied milk of a cer- tain creamery. To feed any infant with the stuff would in his opinion be next- door-neighbor to murder. Several samples were 1nspected at the meeting and all found to be in a high state of putrefaction. The permit to sell their goods in this city ‘was revoked by & unanimous vote, The People’s Party. ALAMEDA, CaL., July 4—An impor- tant meeting of the People’s party was beld this evening in the lower hall of Linderman Opera-Louse. Matters in con- nection with the Presidential campaign were discussed, and it was resolved “That itis for the best interests of the people that a man be nominated by the People’s party for President of the United States who is in sympathy ¥ith the principles of the Omaha platiorm.” 2 . John Drew Next Weeld OAKLAND, Car, July 4 —The interest manifested in the e ment of John Drew at Macdono: for three nights beginning #nesday night next indicates », piatif we did not think we were legiti- | that it will be brilliant in its results from all standpoints. Of its artistic success we have not the slightest doubt, for Mr. Drew’s conscientious and finished work is ulready well known to Onkland playgoers. The tfl)ening bill will be Madeleine Lu- cette Hyley's picturesque love story, “*Christopher Jr.,”” which Mr. Drew pre- sented for fifteen weeks at Charles Froh- man’'s Empire Theatre. . Wednesday and Thursday nights R. C. Carton’s eomedy of men, manners and woman’s foibles, *“The Squire of Dames,” wiii be given. This latter comedy has so far been the crown- ing event of Mr. Drew’s stellar career, and he presented it with what may be scribed as tremendous success for the last three weeks of his thirty weeks season in New York. Miss Maud Adams,. of course, has the leading feminine roles in both vlays and every other member of this perfect company is admirably cast. Mr, D-ew's engagement formally opens the Macdonough under its new lessees and managers, Messrs. Friedlander, Gottlob & Co., and in their honor several theater parties will cross the bay from San Fran- cisco. The house will be beautifully deco- rated. ————— L0ST HI: THUMB. o Sk oo Frank O’Neal Sorry That He Handled a Brake-Rod. OAKLAND, Carn, July 4 — Frank O'Neal’s caoriosity cost him a thumb to-day. Frank was with several other lads who were inspecting one of the new cars of the Laundry Farm Electric Rail- road. The boys were handhing the brake b2ams and O'Neal had hold of one when the motorman let go the brake, not know- g that the boys were handling it. Frank’s thumb was twisted instantly around the cylinder and was flattened out tot esecond joint. It required half an hour to release the lad’s finger. Detective Hglland drove him to the Receiving Hos- pital, where the curtailed member was dressed. FRES 0N THE FOLRTA Only Eleven Calls Made on the Fire Department to Mid- night. Oue Bad Blaz: on Stockton Street Completely Gutted a Fancy Dry Goceds Store. During the twenty-four hours of the Fourth of July the Fire Department was only called out eleven times, while in for- mer years the engineswere on the run all of the time and frequently the number of alarms reaclied nearly a hundred. Last year but fourteen alarms were sounded, but this Fourth all previous records were broken, particularly as two of the alarms were false. The loss and damage this year was much smaller than heretofore. As might be ex- pected nearly all of yesterday’s fires were started by tie burning refuse of fireworks falling between brildings and into piles of | rubbish. With one exception, a fire in a dry goods store on Stockton street, the | Fire Department was not called upon to | do very hard work. At an early hour yesterday morning an alarm was sounded for a fire in H. Somers’ barber-shop at 414 Montgomery avenue. The fire was caused by some one carelessly throwing a lighied cigar-stump into a pile of paper The damage was $75. Shortly before 10 o'clock A. M. an alarm D. Siessenger’s dry-goods store at 1813 Devisadero street, "It was caused by a small boy throwing a big firecracker among the dry}fooxlu. The building, which is owned by W. Miller, was damaged about $25, and thedry goods were damaged about $100. It was not until 6 o’clock that the alarms began to come in, and for a time the fire- men were kept busy. From that time on the alarms were as follows: 6P M., box 284 128 and 130 Twenty- niath street, a two-story frame house owned by Mrs, Anna Gabriel and occupied as a dwelling by M's. Gabriel, William Toohy and James Reeder, The fire was started by a lot of refuse by the siae of the building being ignited by firecrackers. Loss, $150. 6:30 ». M., box 183. The fire was at 8 Eighth street, in a build‘m% owned by Thomas Malloy and occupied by J. Bretto as a beltstore. Fireworks falling between the walls started the blaze, which resulted in a loss of about $250. 8:08 P. ., box 362. Firecrackers started a small blaze in the residence of John Cavanaugh, at 814 Fifteenth street, caus- ing damage to the amount of $5. 8:57 P. M., box 162. False alarm turned in on account of a pile of rubbish burning in a vacant lot. 9 pr. M., box 295. A three-story frame builaing at 1304 Stockton street, owned by the Willey estate. The fire broke out on the ground floor, which was used as a dr; and fancy goods store by Georgze Wood. Iuis supposed that some malicious or care- less person burled a larve firecracker torongh one of the windows, which sat fire to the stock. By the time the firemen reached the place the premises werein a bluze from the floor to the ceiling and it was necessary to turn ona full head of water, regardless of the stock. For a time it looked as though the fire would cut its way into the upper part of the building and work out to the adjoining building, but after fifieen minutes’ sharp fighting the firemen conquered. Mr. Wood lost his entire stock, and the total loss and damage will reach $2000. Mr. Wood stated that his store had beea closed since noon, and a big hole in one of the front windows led to the belief that a large fire- cracker was the cause of the blaze. At 10:10 p. M. box 254 was a false alarm. 10:45 p. M., box 271, John Indech’s dweli- ing at 386 Dolores street. Damage, $5; cause, firecrackers. 10:50 ». M., box 286, false alarm. 10:45 ». M., box 62—Bkyrockets falling through the glass skylights of Mrs. Bunk- er's photograph parlors at 839 Mission street, set fire to the upper story of the building, which is a three-story frame structure. By the time the blaze was extinguished the building and contents were damaged to about $500. Oscar Foss owns the baild- ing. A WESTERN ORAZE. Conditlons in Finance That Have Much Infiuence on Agriculturists. “f have lately traveled through the great corn-producing sections of the United States,” said J. H.

The Nation’s Holiday Fittingly Observed With Song and Ceremony. IMPRESSIVE CLOSING CHORTUS. James H Barry’s Stirring Oration. What Gim=s Were Played and Prizss Won. The one hundred and twentieth anni- versary of American Independence will long be remembered as a red-letter day in the history of the Ancient order of Hiber- nians of America in this City and sur rounding localities. For many weeks preceding the *‘Glorious Fourtu” the chiefs of the Order had la- bored zealously for the success of the grand pienic which was held yesterday at El Campo, and that their aims were ac- complished was amply proven by the i mense concourse of people who partici- pated in this out-of-town celebration. The festivities on the grounds com- menced upon tie arrival of the first boat from San Francisco at 10 A. x and were continved without intermission until 6 P. M., when, upon a signal from Rev. Father Crowley, State Chaplain of the A. 0. H. of A., the perspiring musicians hur- ried through the closing numbers of an ‘Irish quadrille,” and by a sinele bugle blast announced to the mulititude that the hour for retiring had arrived. The scene at the moment reflected credit upon the great fraternal society under whose auspices the fete had been arranged. Over six thousand happy people re- sponded to the strains of ‘‘Home, Sweet l‘rgme" and as they filed along the broad vathway leading from the pleasure grounds to the wharf it was frequently remarked that no more orderly, well-be- | haved assemblage had ever appeared at El Campo. The-programme of exercises included an oration by James H. Barry, reading of the | Declaration of Independence by Peter J. | McCormock and *“The Star-spangled Ban- | | ner” by Miss Katherine Black, in costume and accompanied by the orchestra; a prize race for girls under 12 years of age, won by Katie O'Connell of Tiburon; vrize races for boys under 16 yearsor age, won by Joe Sullivan, 637 Natoma street, and Ennis Roche, 825}¢ Folsom; prize races for married ladies,won by Mrs, | | Gilroy, 12434 Noe street, and Mrs. Kelly, | 48 Chepultepec street; prize races for| married men,won by Fred Palmer, of J.

Donohue, Philip O’Donnell, Thomas Stack, Luke Dempsey, J. McConville, P. Smith. Fred Palmer, the noted athlete, evoked much praise for the strength and dexterity he displayed in tbe several athletic con- tests in wLich he took part. J. O’Dowd also received many flattering opinions for his proticiency in the Celtic games. ‘The deepest interest was manifested in the Irish jig and reel dancing which took place on a specially prepared platformin the shade of spreading trees some distance from the main pavilion. The unique natural combination of black bair, blue eyes and rosy cheeks, at once denoting and characterizing the pure Irish Celt, was quite numerously represented in the types of bealthy womanhood who, re- calles by their graceful step, dancing the scenes of “Shaughraun,” the “Peep 0'Day Boys,” the ““Colleen Bawn,” and the other plays of the late Dion Boucicault. The oration by Mr. Barry was the chiaf event of the occasion and round after round of applause from the vast audience | greeted the speaker. In the course of his address Mr. Barry dwelt upon the character of tie celebra- tion, the vatriotic memories it recalled and the obligation resting upon ever; true American citizen of celebrating it worthily. He vigorously denounced those who bave introduced religious dissension into the political and social life of the country | and icted that the day was near at | bhand when they would receive the unani- mous condemnation of all patriotie; lib- erty-loving citizens. e paid_a glowing tribute to the ladies of Martha Washington Circle of the La- dies’ Hivernian Bociez;l. presided over by Mrs. Jerome Dens¥; e denounced the monovoly in the holding of land, which has resulted in the imruvefluhment of millions and the creation of an army of tramus.

If the money going into wheels came from savings banks or o*her depositories the effect would not be marked, but this does not anpear to be the fact. The funds which go to the bicycle are practically those diverted from "other lines ot trade where they have formerly been expended. There is another side to the siory, how- ever, which leads us to think that the complaints of some trades regarding the bicycies may be exaggerated. As in the economy of nature nothing is wusted 80 it is that the money devoted to bicycles finds its way eventually into the regular channeis of trade. It is probably a blessing in disguise that the bicycle business has developed such activ- ity in the dull times. When one considers the number of people who are directly em- ployed or interested in the business it is evident that the money coming to them is not aisplaced. Leather, rubber and metal industries are benefited Jargely and directiy by the con- struction of the wheels, while supplying the riders with speciaities in shoes, sweaters, stockings, leggings, caps, etc., keeps many factories busy. Real-estate owners profit from tie rent of stores; the repairs to bicy- cles give occupation to many hundred men; the profits of the makers and handlers are large.—Boston Commercial Bulletin.

This prelate, acting it appears under directions from the Congregation of Rites and with te direct authority of the Pope, forbids women to take part either as soloists or chorists in Roman Catholic church services, an excention being, how- ever, made in favor of convent chapels. The rule, of course, has lorlg been in force in English cathedrals, and so strictly 1s it carried out.at St. Paul's that when, as in the 8t. David’s Day Welsh services, a mixed chorus is emploved, the ladies are seated outside the cuoir rails, where by a pious fiction they are supposed to be mem- bers of the congregation. At Westminster Abbey and elsewhere at musical_festivals mixad choirs are, however, permitted; the nonconformist choirs, as has amply been proved at their Crystal Palace festivals, bave many excellent female voices; the Jews at the Berkeley-sireet Synagogue have a choir of ladies and gentlemen; while in the Roman Catholic services Mme. Patti (who in her early deys at Co- vent Garden frequemli' sanlg at the church in Sardiana street (Lincoln’s-inn-fieids), Mme. Albani, Mme. Calve and others have often taken part. Indeed 1tissaid that the recent activity of the Congrega- tion of Rites in reviving a law long dor- mant is due to the empluoyment of opera- singers in the most solemn parts of the mass in France. Henceforward, it is as- sumed, the female voices will be replaced by boys, although down, at any rate, to the accession of the present Pope, the singers in the famous Sistine Choir at Rome were all adults, the aged Signor Mustafa and his colleagne Signor More- schi, both of them well-nigh 70 years old, still, it is said, retaining theirsoprano= falsetio voices in great purity.—London News, —— e .

It is an alarming fact that three-fourths of the men are lost to all the attributes which make the strong, brave arnd noble man. They are prematurely old and dis- eased through excesses or unnatural ‘strains which sap the tountains of life, de- stroy the health and strength, and finally result in physical wreck. These poor vic- tims, loaded with disease, remorse and bumiliation, silently suffer on, going from bad to worse, until death closes the sad scene. Muscular strength and manly power are both based upon the one condi- tion, and that condition is health.

It is a distressing thought to learn from medical statistics that seven-tenths of the women of this vast country are suffering from some chronic ailment, and in most cases that ailment is peculiar to her sex. ‘With that fortitude which only the true woman possesses, she uncomplainingly suffers on day after day, yes, year after year, with the false hope that nature will some time remedy her trouble and restore her heaith. Withthe great love for belnx which every woman desires, she, wi paints, powders and lotions, tries in vuin to cover up the lines and defects which the cruel work of disease has wrought in her once beautiful face. There is but one foun- dation for beauty, and that is health. Health produces a mind teeming with wit, the bright, spnrklinf eye, the rosy cheek and the plump an well-rounded form. With health the whole world is a world ot sunshine. With disease it is a dark, gloomy, prison-like abode.
