From early morning till late last night the over- patriotic crowded the operating-room. Chester Boehm, 14 years of age, held a cannon cracker in his hand just an instant too long. His hand was badly torn by the explosion. Edward French, age 12, celebrated with the deadly toy pistol, which lac- erated his wrist badly. A cheerful idiot who used blank cartridges managed to fire a piece of wadding into the face of George Sulli- | wvan. The missile narrowly missed Sul- livan's eye.

Alfred Mobber, age 15, whose am- bition is to be a dashing cannoneer, trained his miniature siege gun down Thirteenth street. It was loaded to the muzzle with pebbles. Eddie Swanson, a boy of 10, was struck in the neck by part of the charge. Al- frel was arrested on a battery charge. While returning from the parade, Mrs. Annfe Jackman fell from a crowded Geary-street car. She re-| received an ugly scalp wound. John Mortensen, 9 years of age and | living at 4121 Fifth street, was taken | to the Central Emergency Hospital suf- fering from a gunshot wound in the) nose. The wound was undoubtedly made by a bullet of small caliber. He was found lying in an unconscious con- | dition at the corner of Fifth and Br; ant streets, but it is not known how he | received his injury. The surgeons were unable to find the bullet and the child is in a precarious condition, as it is feared that the leaden missile entered the brain. Lewis Jackson, 9 years old, of 537 Fourth street, was struck on the nose by a tin can under which a giant cracker had been exploded.

LOUIS, July 4 (World's Fair Grounds).—In spite of threatening thunder showers there was a record- breaking crowd on the fair grounds to- day. The principal ceremonies were held at the foot of the Louisiana Pur- chase Exposition monument, where ad- dresses were delivered by Lafayette Young, editor of the Des Moines Capi- tal, and William J. Bryan. Young said in part: “The greatest alarm at present seems {to be in relation to certain successes that are eminent or pre-eminent. But there is no use being scared at the very end for which we have fought; no use | being alarmed at the result of our own | ambitions. The republic is more just | than at any other time. The laws are nearer right than formerly. “No conspiracy of the rich can de- ! | ment. There are Americans who have | too much money, and no way has yet | been discovered to hinder their accu- mulations. The question of managing | the over-rich is one for the future. We | do not know its solution, but we do | know that we have solved all things ! heretofore rightly; we will so determine | this question, and it will be without re- ;sort to anarchy or the torch. The first | tyrannies of the over-rich would be so | resented. The future will point the way E for settlement—point the way to a near- i er approach to equality.” | At Festival Hall Governor Pardee of California and J. Hamilton Lewis of ‘Washington spoke.

NEW YORK, July 4.-—Wholesome American sentiment, which demands fairness ‘and equality in sharing the blessings of our popular government, was urged in a letter from former President Grover Cleveland which was read at the annual Fourth of July celebration of Tammany Hall. Mr. Cleveland's letter was as follow: PRINCETON, N.

No ope can be so blind as.not to see that in these days of grasping and consuming mad- | sequent indifference to political duty, ‘there is danger that our social and incustrial equality, like our political independence, will be made the sport of demagogues. The celebration of Independence day should, above ali things, be directed toward a resist- ance to these tendéncies, and to the promotion of a wholesome American sentiment, which de- mands fairness and equallty in sharing the blesaings of our popular government and un- fettered independence and effectiveness exercise of political rights. Nor should it be forgotten that the fathers of the republic delivered the- results of their work unreservedly to the care and management of all the people.

Just as he reached the outskirts of the town his cigar dropped into the straw at the bot- tom of his wagon and five minutes later, when near the Union meeting- house, he saw the first sign of trouble. A pinwheel, which was ignited by the smouldering straw, was seized with a tantrum, leaped from its box and spread sparks through the entire cargo. A Roman candle pointed Wicks' way and drove him to the woods. A hundred skyrockets, which inelined in the direction of the meet- ing-house, let go about the same time. They went in through the open win- dows simultaneously and caused a panic among the congregation. By the time. the congregation reached the open street Wicks' wagon iand its frightened horses were disap- pearing up the main street in a blaze. of glory. Fortunately no one was in- Jured in the stampede to escape from the church. —_— Cleveland Goes Fishing.

It was an occasion for ail the veterans and their many friends to turn out. The flags floating from lhev d'fferent buildings gave the home a festive air, while the holiday attire of all present added to the picturesqueness of the scene. Exercises appropriate to the day were held in social hall at 2 o’clock. An enthusiastic audience thronged the hall. Upon the stage were distinguished visitors, including General S. W. Back- | us, president of the board of directors | of the home, and Directors Hugh M. Burke and Colonel J. C. Currier. Col- onel George W. Walls, commandant of the home, introduced the participants in the programme with a few well- chosen words. The soprano of Miss | Millie Flynn and the contraito of Mh!i Ella McCloskey added greatly to the | pleasure of the day’'s exercises. After | the “Star-Spangled Banner” they ! pleased the veterans by singing a num- ber of the latter’s old tavorites and re- sponded graciously to the applause which greeted each song. The Declaration of Independence was | well read by Mrs. Ray Dennison Clark. Patriotic airs were rendered by !he‘ Veterans’ Home Orchestra. General | CLarles Woodruff stirred the audience with an unusually fine oration. Throughout his discourse he was in terrupted many times by the enthusi- | astic applause of his hearers. In part | he said: GENERAL WOODRUFF SPEAKS. Veteran defenders of our republic, it wi with pride and pleasure that I accepted the invitation to address you on this, the most | important day In the calendar of our beloved | country. We are Americans, all, and we meet oa this | one hundred and twenty-sighth birthday of | our nation to testify our belief in the form of | government which our forefathers founded: our love for a country that has bestowed o | many blessings upon mankind; our lovalty to | and patriotic pride In a union, around which | cluster tender memories of neroes, comrades, | friends and kindred who died in its defense, | grand memories of a national career generally peaceful, somectimes warlike, but ever onward | and upward, until from the gutdon of a forlorn hope our flag has become alike emblem of unsurpassed national stability, resource and power. and symbol of government wherein sonal.’ religious and political liberty and equal rights under the law are granted to all, and manhcod and Intelligence are the rulers. In the course of his address General Woodruff eloquently reviewed ghe pro- | gress of the country since the Declara- tion of Independence, and asked for a pledge, in the words of the immortal | Lincoln, “that, under God, this nation | shall not perish from the earth.” | “We Americans,” the speaker sald, re a strange people. While posing as devotees of peace we owe much to war, | and while never ready are always will- | ing for war. And yet, while we owe more to the soldier than to any other | class, we don’t like an army.” He continued: PATRIOTISM THE IDEAL. The existence'of republics depends upon love | of country and Americans should inculcate it | in order that when the time comes, as it come i the life of every nation, when the art of the statesman is powerless, when philosophy is in_dpubt. when poetry only breathes to twine for pgtriotism her fairest laurels, there shall exist within the minds of all that love for our union which will save it when with right on ite side the debate is closed, the god of war invoked and the arbitration transferred from | he national capital to the field of battle. i manly tribute was rendered to the| soldiers of the Revolution, of the war of 1812, the Mexican war-and to those | who served in the great Civil War for | the preservation of the Union, and to! the men who fought in the recent war | with Spain. In closing General Wood- ruff said: Fellow citizens, I have tried to prove that | but fcr the sturdy pluck and steadfast en- durance of our soldiers in the revolution, the Independence would have passed the sentimental longings of impracticable philosophers and our constitu- tion would never have been written: but for gfand victory, for humanity and good govern- ment wrought out by our soidiers in the re- beliion the union would have besn dissolved, the emancipation proclamation a useless pie of rhetoric and the impracticability of a re- | publican form of government settled for ge erations, 1t not forever: but for the valor, en- ergy and humanity of our soldlers in the Span- ish-American war, Cuba would still be in a state of anarchy, the Philippines a source of bloody chaos and ruin, and our Government the scorn of civilization. 1 have tried to fairly show the deep. the unfathomable debt of gratitude our country owes to the American soldiers and sailors, for their great part in establishing, preserving and enlarging our republic and placing Rer in the front rank of the civilized nations of the globe. During the evening about an hour was spent enjoying a fine disolay of | fireworks. The grounds were crowded with delighted spectators. Fireworks of all descritions were set off for the pleasure of the onlookers. The Veter- ans’ Home band played inspiring music during the evening. 22y R GREAT DAY AT PALO ALTO.

PALO ALTO, July 4—The celebra- tion of the 128th anniversary of America’s independence will be long remembered by the people of Palo Alto and those who visited this city. The word had gone out that the eciti- zens of the little university town were to do something out of the ordinary and there was no disappointment. It is not exaggeration to say that no town in this part of the State has ever done better. People began to throng the streets early in the day and before the noon hour fully 7000 were in town. They came from San Francisco, San Mateo. Redwood City, Santa Clara, Menlo Park, San Jose, Gilroy, in fact, Palo Alto seemed to be the Mecca for everybody in this section who wanted to celebrate. The parade was not especially dis- tinctive, but it was imposing, as, Fourth of July parades should be. In the column were large representations of the leading civic and fraternal or- | ganizations. In the ranks were men well known in political and commer- cial life. A feature of the parade was the Veteran firemen of San Francisco and their old hand fire engine. | | pleasure. | morning.
