ETHEL DID IT. FIRE AND FUN. the seal and ollnuuc ot the noble welcome that his Brooklyn fellow citizens had received. In the course of the meeting, having apposite occasion to allude to the Eaole, Mr. Whitney declared that in Brooklyn the paper was an Indispensable visitor and a great power in every home, and that no educated or public spirited Brooklynite ever thought of doing without it, abroad or at home, any more than he thought of doing without hla dally bread." At a period of the meeting events made this allusion of the Mayor a fitting incident, and his words were received with great applause.

Tho speakers of the day were tbe Ber. Dr. Talmage and Mr. St Clair MoKelway. Dr.

Talmage'B address was aa alternation ot humor, philosophy, facts and fancies, to show that the United States were brought in by the Thirteenth Product Police yesterday. IK UPPER EASTERN DISTRICT WARDS. At dawn yesterday the traditional gun announced from the head of Stagg street the advent of tho great national holiday with an emphasis which rendered of no account the feeble efforts of the rockets and small arms which had been fizzing and popping for hours previously. So modest Is the individual who acts as cannoneer on this occasion that all efforts to discover hla identity have bo far proved futile. General opinion, indeed, is divided on this question, some maintaining that the cannon is touohed off by John TImmes, formerly of Battery Ringgold Cavalry, and others Insisting that Doorman George Blehler, of the Sixth Precinct police, also a war veteran, performs the service.

Already the national ensign floated in the silenoe of early morning from the Thirty second Regiment Armory, the Stagg street Police Station, Flushing avenue Police Station, Theodore Koysor'a dry goods store and J. J. Froehllch's buildings on Graham avenue; H. H. Reiner's, on Stagg street; Henry Eattermann's, corner of Graham avenue and Broadway, and from various other buildings in the Sixteenth, Eighteenth, Nineteenth and Twenty first wards.

At last the Bmall boy and girl were up and dressed and the noise began. Pistols and pyrotechnics of every kind woro used with absolute impunity by even mere children, and tho wonder is that more accidents did not occur. Thero wero enough mishaps, however, to show that loss regard was had for the safety of life and property than there has boon in years past At 8:35 A. M. a flro broke out In a closet in the pork packing house 839 Broadway, but was extinguished promptly, after alight darimge.

About 9 A.M. John Fee.assistant fireman of Engine Company No. 18, extinguished a fire at 33? Humboldt street, caused by a cracker setting fin. lace curtain. At 11:45 the two story cottage 55 Magnolia stroot Breaking a Club Record Superior Handling.

A StifT Breeie for tbe Cansnf Boat Club's) Bcgatts Both Class Winners Hare a Hard Strnjrglo for First Place Two Accidents, Bat So One Hart. Cannrsie had a big orowd yesterday one of the largest that has ever been there. A number of unusual attractions had been prepared, but the on that drew tho most peoplo was the regatta of tho Canarsie Yacht Club. By some mistake the hour for tho start had been announced at 10 o'clotk, and not a few disappointed ones waited around until after 12 o'clock, when tho Judgo's boat with a tow of intondent racers, left the wharf for the starting point, Ruffle Bar. This was not reached, owing to low water, until after 1 o'clock.

Then it was announced that the start would be mode at 20 o'clook. The yachtsman dosortod tho littlo fleet and Indulged In various pastimes. Some attempted to play ball, but the wind was too high, and all watchod the effects of the breoza which was covering the bay with innumerable white cods. Two and threo reefs woro put In all sails, and prepara tions maae tor the duoklngs that tho members of the crews knew they would get A moro perfect day, wind and sea could hardly hare been made to order. At 2:25 the signal gun was fired and away the yachts started over tho ten mile course from the wharf at Ruffle Bar to and around the con buoy off Rockoway Inlet to a stake boat to tho north of the starting point and around It over tho starting line.

The boats woro in two classes and got away in tbo following order: FntST CLASS. nnn Josephine B. aiafilo "oiort if. A. Raid 2:30:001 SECOND CTaABS.

A few minutes later th Gypsy attempted to go about directly before the bowa of the Judges' boat The GypBy was rolled around the tug from stem to stem, rolled half way ovor and partially fillod. Sho rightod, however, in a fow minutes, but was out of tho race. The contest be tweon tho Jullta and Josephine was a beautiful ono, but until the buoy was reaohed most intorest was centered In the struggle botwoen the So So, which had won overy race this season, and the EtheL Tho boats were at one time so close together that a man could havo stepped from one to tho other. Both boats, as well as all tho others, seldom had thoir loo scuppers above water and froquently waves would swoop everything. Tho Ethel was standing up pretty well, however, with but two reefs taken in, while the So go was dipping constantly with throe.

When tho Ethel took tho lead the So So shook out another reef, but the can vas was too much for her and she lugged it ovor tho rest of the coarse. Tho race homo was particularly exciting be tween tho Jullta and Josephine, and the Ethel rtinet i othojrt aboinpj othe abofl and So So contest lost none of its Interest, tho boats being practically out of the tas." Josephlno neatly blanketed the Jullta two miles from tho finish and It looked as if sho would bo tho winner The stake boat was roundod by the four loading Boats amid intense ox cltemont and It was almost nose and uose to the finish. Tho Jullta sailed weU up, however, and woo by saving a tack whloh tho JoepKno had to take. The Jullta crossed the line at 3:46 and the Josephine at Junta's elapsed time, corrected time, 1:18:80.

Outdoor Iilfe Near Freeport Beach How the Boys Passed tho Fourth ol July Holidays. About a mile south from JPreeport, and Within short reach of the sea, is the headquarters; oi me. i rospeci uun uiuo. Tnis is one of the youngest and smallost Organizations of its kind, but the boys in It had lots of sport all the same. Its membership was limited to thirty and the limit was reached long ogo.

Llko officeholders, members nevor resign, for they have too good a thing of it, and the consequence Is that many choice spirits who would like to Join ore kept out in the cold. The proBldent of the club is Mr. Oharlos F. Dotter, and the membership Includes such well known BrooUynltes as John Lee, the builder; County Treasurer Harry: A. Adams, a prince I good fel lows; Warren Trott, Berkeley Smith, Jaoob and Fred Stiner.

John J. White, Charlos Snovllly, Jack AdamB, Charles Kraft, the lone fisherman of New Lots; Peter Sutter and Que SplegeL Tho club house is a fair sized frame structure. There is no attempt at ornamentation about it, but It Is chock fall of comforts. The club has an excellent steward in Abe Smith, of Freeport, and there are a dozen men In the organization whoso oultnary skill has been displayed thero on more than one occasion. Surrounding the house are expansive.

wind swept meadows, with interlacing oreeks, all abounding with tbo spoils of sportsmen and means of enjoyment for lovers of nature. To tho south weat may bo seen Long Beach and Point Lookout with their ploturesque hotels and cottages, while to the east and southeast are tho Great South Bay and Fire Island, whose flashing light may be seen for miles at night Surely the Prospeots had their lines cast in pleasant places. It was at this dolectable spot that many of the club men passed'the triple holiday of Saturday, Sunday and the glorious Fourth. Saturday was devoted to Ashing and It was Bunriso when tho party boarded tho good yacht Marjorle and started for tho grounds. Harry Adams made the first catch of woakflsh and was quickly followed by Warren Trott, who hauled in three or four choice spoolmens.

John Lee, or Undo. John Loe, as ho is familiarly called, paid at tention to sheepshead only and captured five of thom, eaoh averaging as many pounds. Uncle John is the historian of the club and religlouoly makes record of all those sort of things, so down went Harry Adams on the hook for the first club catch of woakflsh of the season, while tho sheepshead came in for appropriate mention. A visitor to tho olub house found, however, the. record of a more remarkable catch.

His eyes encountered the following, written with lead penoll on the side of a bunk in the sleeping rooms: "July 4, 1886. Caught, 200 sheepshead; caught, 350 woakflsh; caught, 600 crabs; caught, 8 lack pots; caught, 460 sea bass; caught, 885 crabs; lost, 1 Jack pot" Historian Leo pronounced the author the star flctlonlst of the year. On Sunday tho whole day was devoted to rest and reflection. Yesterday the most of the boys were on tho water, and when they returned they had ready for them a ohowder prepared by Charles Snevilly, and an excellent one it was. Dinner followed, and in the evening thero were some fireworks nnd a social time generally.

Special Service lu tbo Church, of (be Atonement. The Sabbath evening services at Hie Reformed Episcopal Church of the Atonement, Meroy avenue and Keab street were of unusual Interest, the ser vice being that whldfi was adopted at the first Protestant Episcopal Convention after the Revolution lu 1785, as a special service for the Fourth day of July "forever, as a thanksgiving to Almlgnty God for the inestimable blessings of civil and religions liberty vouchsafed to the United States of America." This patriotic service was eliminated from the P. E. Prayer Book la 1789, in deference to Bishop Beabury and other loyalists, aa a condition ot their adhesion to the Episcopal Church in America. It was adopted by the P.

E. Church in 1885. Rev. Mason Galliger, the retiring pastor, introduced Rev. Richard H.

Bosworth, the newly Installed pastor, to the congregation. After an appropriate prayer selections from the Bpeolal services were read rosponslvely by pastor and people. Chaplain H. C. Roe read the First Lesson, Dent, Tilt, after which the Te Deum Laudamus was rendered.

Ross B. Gulllom, of V. 8. Grant Post, G. A.

Brooklyn, delivered an oration. The apeaker said: "The love of country is inborn; It comes of God. Hence it Is appropriate that love for our native land should bring ub hero this Sabbath evening to commemorate the nation's birth in this, God's temple. At the assembling of the first Congress a denominational question seemed imminent, when Samuel AdamB, a strong Congregationalism arose and said he oould abide the prayers of any who feared God and loved his country. Ho believed tho Rev.

Mr. Dn Shay fulfilled both requirements. He therefore moved that he be requested to proceed with the Episcopal service. The thlrty flf th Psalm was found to bo In the psalter for the day. It seemed as if that Psalm had been foreordained for tho occasion." Miss Anderson, of the church choir, sang the Battle Hymn of tho Republic," the audience Joining In the chorus.

Jacob Lilly, 63 years old, residing on That fordavenuo, near Itopalvo street In the Twenty sixth Word, died suddenly on Sunday morning last' without msdleal sttendance. Coroner Lindsay will tosttiawMrt, tendment of the Constitution and by tho doctrines of common sense. The principle of Civil Servloe reform contemplates the establishment of such relations as a matters of fact The abomination known as tho spoils system oreates between the minor employes oi tne uovernmont and tho people, to whom tbe Government belongs, precisely the relation whloh my questions have Implied.

To that spoils system Americans have been, and many auivrwaas miu ore, unaer a worse bondage tnan that whloh they resolved to throw off 111 years ago to day. They havo feared some dreadfol calamity if they pat their government business service on precisely the same as that on which they have put their general uuBiuesu aervico. ne superstitious fear OX QOtng this still lingers. It is manifest in efforts which have not been without success even in Massachusetts to break down the system of Civil Sorvleo reform by speolous and special adverse legislation. Independence day 1b a good time to declare emancipation from national slavery to the Kitchen question In government Applause.

I oould name a long list of modern American onslavers and oould Illustrate the servitude under which the descendants of the sons of 1778 abide with regard to them. There Is. a servitude of all Americans to nartles. There is a servitude of all parties to the enslaving considerations named, and as said, to others also. Some of those others you are aware of without special mention.

Politics is under servitude to organized labor. Organized lnbor is nder servitude to unthinking unions or to demagogues that have seized control of them. While ail gcod citizens rightly recognize the obligations both of intorest and of gratitude to the soldiers, thero is a form of duress under whloh politics rests to tho organizations which those soldiers form, and somo of thoso soldiers in turn are under a measuro of duress to demagogic agencies which seek to divort in places those very organizations from tho benign purposes which they were meant to subserve. In truth, parties may be said to be in a degree of slavery to whatever Interest or foroe has so organized Itself that It can vote as a solid. From the candidate for Alderman who is "struck" by a target company up to the national convention that Is "struok" by an organized selfishness, the lino of American enslavement runs.

Tho mission of 1776 wUl not bo ended until wo throw off from ourselves tho bonds we would not allow Great Britain to put upon us. The Revolution Is said to have seoured to us freedom. It secured to us, 1 think, tho right and duty of being free; the opportunity and obligation not necessarily the roedom itself. "Who would bo free himself should strike iho blow." Let but one man freo his own mind from thoso modern American enslavers and he will have attolnod the condition to aid others to moral manumission. The aid will bo effective.

Ono free man Is a mighty incentive and argument for other men to free themsoWes. Example preaches In such a cose in line with all the precepts and Instincts which commend themselves to the heart of man. There are glorious tints of promlso on the edge of the sky. In hundreds of thousands of souls Is the deslro to have 365 days of independence in the year, instead of merely one. Tens of thousands have worked that desire Into aotlon.

Moro mean each year to do ao than ever did so apy year before. Manv of the evil And onnfAvlncr forraa to which I have frankly adverted are effecting their own overtnrow. xneir excess or action is likely to bo tbe cause of their disaster. The dlffioulty every year increases of postponing the solution of the tax question. The dishonor of the debased dollar is felt to be dishonor of tho Government Itself.

The people wish be had done more and hope he will do more stllL In what measure ho has wrought for righteousness in that regard, he has reflected tho best New England views and he Is himself descended from tho bost New Englond stock.

Hon of Massachusetts, will you do so From many signs of the times I think your answer Is likely to be We win." Applause. Mr. MoKelway spoke a little ovor half an hour.

In the morning tho youth went out loaded down with tho purpose of adding In every way to the volume of unintermittlng sound only to return nt night be grlmmed and In sections to be wopt over, washod and bandaged up with linen and court plaster, that be might sit upon the front stoop In melancholy grandeur and watch the dubious oporatlon 01 Starting a pin wheel. The fear of the firecracker lias fled, and tho terrible tales of the destruction of cities by Its spiteful spark has faded into tho dim jjast along with the legend of the cow that kicked the lamp over, so that no apparent stricture was passed upon the numbor uninterrupted oxplosions during tho day and night, and, strange to relate, lUtlo harm was done by thorn. Thousands of people Hod the prospects of tem porary Insanity and the chances of destruction that came upon tho cities of old, and went out into tne country to feed the noble army of mosquitoes wattlne for core, taking boat and train for Long Island and elsewhere, until it seemed as If no one but policemen and burglars would be left to look after the houses. Enough were left to orowd the near, by resorts as they were never crowed before.

Strange to say, heaven's artillery did not Join with a salvo in the general uproar, and for once In many years there was no shower to drench excursionists and prevent fires. Everybody was as well pleased, though, as If the Fourth of July had kept Its repute. lion up in this regard. In the evoning the air was full of fire, and the planets had no show against tho Innumerable cor ruscatlons that filled the heavens, from the roman candle and the sky rocket, so well known to our (others, down to the unnamable but brilliant explosives which form part of the Fall of Babylon or the Capture of SobastapoL Coney Island was peculiar In the fact Ing tho display at Pain's fireworks Inclosuro, only about seven explosives rent tho atmosphere, but the people who went down thero for quiet could have found oqually as restful and dreamy surroundings within the proclncts of a boiler factory In full blast One hundred thousand people walked aimlessly along, looking for they knew not what, or llstenod to the muslo by Bllmore, with guns and anvils and cannons, at Manhattan, or music by Cappa, with cannons and guns and cymbals, at Brighton, or at West Brighton listened to the mingled music of tho sarousal organs, the shouts of hack drivers and museum orators, the stealing of sausages, the thump of the Btrength tester or tho song of tho serlo comic in ihe pavilions plaintively explaining: "And In the night my chelld was chently sleeping, But in the morning It vos took away."

Dr. Talmage, Mayor Whitney and the Hon. St. Clair McKel way Pleasures Still to be Enjoyed. Correspondence of the Eagle.

Mabtha's Vinkyabp, July 4. The exonrsion of the pastor, officers and members 'of the Brooklyn Tabernacle Church for 1887, began about six o'clock last Friday afternoon, July l. it was resolved on at tho olose of the excursions to the Thousand Islands fast year, and during the months whleh have since Intervened the arrangements have been perfeotod. Officially the plans havo been under the charge of tho following, who are tho Board of Trustees of the Tabernacle Congregation: H. A.

Tucker, M. president; E. H. Branch, secretary; John Wood, treasurer; Samuel A. Everett, Frederick M.

Lawrence, James H. Ferguson, Alexander McLean, Charles a Durllng and William B. Mead. It is sate, however, to say that the outline of all the work and the details of most of it were devolved on Dr. H.

A. Tucker, who sees in the success of the plans the ovolutlon of weeks and even months of preparation and plan. He was supported the various committees to whom he delegated the execution of his designs and directions, but a verlety of circum stances made him the main person to be credited with the result. Ho is chairman of the Board of Trustees and of tho committees of Transportation, Tickets, Staterooms and Hotels. He is also president of the Martha's Vineyard Club, whose guests the Pilgrims arc He is also a phenomenon of prevision and detail.

What has boon pleasant to all, himself lnoluded, has been extraordinary labor to him, and the happy outcome must be a relief as It is sertainly a credit to him. The excursionists numbered, as said, those be longing to the Tabernnolo as woll as invited guests. Among the latter were Mayor and Mrs, Whitney, Collector Hardenbergb, the Hon. St. Clair McKel way, General Bodney C.

Ward, Mrs. Joseph F. Knapp, Miss Laura M. Groves, Mr. and Mrs.

Will Carleton, of Brooklyn; Dr. and Mrs. Enight, of Lake View, and several others, in cluding members of the Brooklyn and metropol itan, tho Frovldenoo and Boston newspapers. Tho list of those belonging to the Tabernacle and par ticipating In the exouralon with Bov. Dr.

Talmngo and his family and with Dr. Tuokor and his house hold would number nearly 1,000. They constitute a thoroughly representative and harmonious body of Broaklynitos who have vastly enjoyed themselves. As Bald, the excursion began on Friday night The annex carried tho pilgrims to the foot of Mur ray street, New York, when the steamer Pilgrim, of tho Old Colony Line, had been chartered for their use. A very hearty and congenial evening was passed before retiring.

The Sound was tranquil. The temperaturo was delightfully cool. Many forms of Innocent pleasure were availed of. At a seasonable hour tho hundreds retired to welcome sleep. In the morning the beauty of Newport broke on the view.

The cars beautifully decorated by the Old Colony Railroad Company) wero then taken to Wood's Holl, whero tho travelers embarked on the watting steamer and reaohed Cottago City, Martha's Vldeyard, at 11:30 Saturday morning. The four transfers, from the annex, from tho Pilgrim, from the cars and from tho Vineyard Sound steamer, wero made without Jar, friction, delay or accident and on schedule time. This fact speaks volumos for tbe excellence of arrangements and for tho concerted intelligence of the tourists. At Martha's Vineyard tho travelers other than tho family of tho Rev. Dr.

Talmage, and other than Mrs. Warren G. Smith and Mr. St Clair MeKelway, who wero tho guests of Dr. and Mrs.

H. A. Tucker, wore billeted on tho Sea View Hotel and its annex, on the Naumekeag Hotel, on the Metropolitan Ho tel, the Island House and the Pawnee Hotel. Itooms had been secured for all long in advance, and on arriving the Pilgrims at once wont to them. Any other persons propoaing to move great numbers of people over long distances oould well study the system of this marvelous excursion.

It should be said that on arriving the visitors wero greeted with salvos of artlllory, while the flags of many nations shook out cosmopolitan welcome from all the hotels and the cottagos and from the vessels harbored under the vernal bluffs. NATURE'S PHBPBCT RESULT. Cottage City, or the Vineyard, as It can be more appropriately oalled, has been often described in the Eagle by picturesque writers, among others by United States Marshal Charlos M. Stafford, who, on this excursion, renewed the pleasure of former visits and added to that of aU taking part In the present Journey. I shall not undertake to do Justico to one of the most lovely and historical spots that rlsos at all points gracefully and at'some grandly to view In tho North Eastern Atlantic.

Seen from the wator, tho Island, seven miles wide and twenty long, looks like a cluster of beautiful emeralds on the neck of an ocean queen. From tho land the outlook Is both charming and stilling on "the dosp sea that even on the days of its mo3t perfect blue ness never loses its visible stamp ot power, and In its murmuring sleep Is yet instinct with tho spirit of tho storm." The almost vertical bluffs of yellow Band look like pillars of gold supporting the tablo Ianddottod with hills, threaded with walks and drives, crowned with palatial' cottages in groat numbor, but admirably varied and spaced and covored with trees and flowers. Tho Island Is as "verdure clad" as an English pleasuance, and Its roads, gardens, walks, fountains and woods make it look liko a glorious park created by nature and preserved and perfeotod by art In the most salubrious part of the oeean. Wealth, taste, kindness and calm abound. Tho placo Is a unique domain of delight "compassed by tho Inviolate sea." Situation protects it from tho Impact of the multitudinous loud and vulgar, while making it the accessible residence of a refined and homogeneous community, to whom sickness 'Is almost unknown and ono peace officer useful only as a sample of an unneeded constabulary.

Amid scones and Influences pre eminently pastoral the electric light makes night day and a steam flro department and artesian' wells and gas assure city comforts. Thore is no malaria. The volco of tho turtlo is heard in tho land, but never the treble of a mosquito. Steamers and cables maintain relations and exchanges of nows with tho world outside, but none of th hum, rustle or rivalry of that world Intrudes. Kellglon and toleration oqually prevalL Trim llttlo splroa chime out to tho landscape a song," enough in numbor to answer to all faiths, but so unobtruslvo that those who feci that "tho groves wero God's first temples" and who prefer worship through meditation, with Nature as the high priOBt of its own Creator, with the skies tor dome and with the ocean for organ, are net dis turbed.

The vineyard Is equally lit for revorle, rov oronco or recreation. It Is hospitable to rollglon, but it is not encysted with pietism. Its bonlgn In fluencos tranquillize the mind and onnoblo tho bouI and rehabilitate the strength. It Bourns an Eden of a restored humanity where the heart Is attuned to gladness, trust and hope. Among these captivating associations the Pil grims arrivod mid Saturday.

That aftornoon and evening they let the sweep of Impression pass over thom, as thoy roamod or rested. At many cot tages they mot friends. On many lawns thoy re celvod reassuring salutations. A band Bocured for tho wholo visit from Fltchburg discoursed music fairly comparable with any discoursed by city orchestras. In tho evoning, fireworks as elaborate as any revealed at Manhattan Beach lettered allegory and welcome on as fair a sky as any that over canopied Venice or Naplos or Gonova.

On Sunday, both the religious character of tho tlmo and tho church habits of the excursionists were observod. All the places of worship, except the Episcopalian, omitted thoir meetings, to nttond a union service nt tho great Island Tabornacle, whoro Dr. Talmago preached to seroral thousand people ca Tho Slgnlflcanco of Unrecognized Agency and Influencos." The local clorgy and the Bev. Dr. Tiffany, of Philadelphia, took part In the exerclaes.

Tho band already referrod to and Professor All, the celebrated oornet player, led the service of praise Miss Groves' beautiful mozzo soprano was heard In selections from tho mastors of sacred song. Tho sermon was most practical and direct in motive and effect, extremely earnest in spirit, characteristically dramatic In illustration and eloquent lu appeal and onforcemont The many Brooklycltes prosent mado a home environment for the Brooklyn son of thunder. CELEBRATING THE FOURTH. To day cannon ushered In sunrise and tbe anniversary. The bolder spirits of tho excursionists, pressing a drum corps and Professor All into Borvlco, formod in externally solemn but Inwardly Jocose procession and paid a visit in forae, headed by Marshal Stafford, to Mayor Whitney, Dr.

Talmage, Sr. Tucker, Mr. MoKoIway and Collector Hardeuborgh. Those gentlemen were initiated with appalling coremonles, but with reassuring plaudits "sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust" in the presence and protection of Deputy Surrogate Judah B. Voorhees Into the honors, burdens, responsibilities and rewards of a mystical and mythical society of sons of the pale and portentous what is It Tho victims submitted to their doom, but the initiators received their own again with usury.

Tho initiation took place In Dr. Tucker's park, which was not more green than were the initiated concerning the fate In store for thorn. They, however, quitted themselves like mon, af tor which tho Staffordltes qulttod the scene, sated with speataele. The veto whtoh Mayor Whitney did not file against the proceedings was voted down with tumultuous unanimity. Tho more aorio us and stately exerolses of the day comprised the procoedlng3 in tho Casino, which began at 11 o'clock.

The building Is a very large ono, and it stands near the sea. Martha's Vinoyard and. the adjacent eltlos of Massachusetts and Rhode Island contributed an audienoe of noarly 5,000 peoplo, for whom there was ample room. The auditorium was decorated In every part with the national banner, with tho arms of the States of the Union and with the flags of foreign nations. Mayor Whitney presided and made an excellent impression.

He spoke briefly but appropriately, saying that nest to the honor of presiding was the pleasure of tolas so ml4 etsoh tfettuttftu SMWlailon I and the world of 1887 are happier and mora honest than those of 1776. His remarks in their swift order of view, review and preview, in their rapid succession of history, portraiture, description and prophecy, In their mixture of summary, characterization, metaphor and apostrophe, and In their sequence or ornamentation of mot, epigram, antithesis, com parison and audacious but legitimate imagery wore partly a direct appeal to the occasion and partly a deft inweaving of the gems of his celebrated loo ture to the effect that "Tho World Grows Botter. The gentleman spoke an hour, and with a fused and versatility that were at once tho wonder and tbe despair of transcribers. Mr. MoKelway'a theme was entitled "Modern American Enslavers," and ho spoke In part as follows: ADDRESS OP MB.

ST. CLAIR MCKELWAT. third olty of tho Union, itself the second olty of tho uiuDi, puwunai amencan siato, senas deputation and greeting to the reDroaentattves of tho Commnn wealth of Massachusetts, the Commonwealth whloh believes to day what all tho rest of the Republic will believe to morrow. Applause. It 1b fitting that on tho annlverssrv of the tlmo immortnllv luummoa wiin jiaams ana with Jefferson the descendants of the men led hv Livlnpntnnn.

Cllnfm and Schuyler should speak the salutation of New i om to mo son oi tbe Puritans, to a place historical, ly conneotod with New England beginnings and, in these later and better days of a pure natlonaUty and nobler lows, the home of citizens representing all parts of a Union, made perfect through suffering and given anew birth into freedom through war and a new baptism of everlasting brotherhood through freedom. I do not need, before an audienoe bo intelligent and cosmopolitan ns thlB, to renew those ppuaiB to vanity or sordid complacency which grow out of a mere consideration of onr mluht or of our magnitude as a nation. Great countries are me proa nets or great forces. Small ones are sometimes tho exponents of irraator virtues. Moro clnri flcation of size, of material achievement, of wealth, of power or of prestige mlBB those moral and spiritual elements whloh make the life of a people or the life of a man worth the living.

To miss them in a oniw wuero warren loll lor an Idea and where Jim erson served apostleship to Thoreau was establishing confidential relations with the heart of nature and Longfellow with the heart of man, would do dishonor to their memory and arouse the dissent of the living Holmes, of the Lowell In whpm the flres of the BIglow Papers still burn and of the Whlttler who continues to be the most winning and the most revered ot the hymn makers for aU causes of high endeavor that tho land knows and loves to day. Choers.J Behind any man who speaks the word ot materialism In motive or of boastful aess of might on the soil of Massachusetts stand the rebuking shades of Garrison, the Paul of the gospel of liberty; of Phillips, the Demosthenes of this sublime century, and of John A. Andrew, the one statesman among all the war Governors whose patriotism was another name for philanthropy and whose preiclonco made him the prophet of a great era, aa his consecration made him tbe priest of the purpose of a great commonwealth. Applause. The mind that gets into companionship with these great souls realizes that tho way to counsel the people on their natal day Is not to vulgarize it to the uses of braggadocia or to omit to tell thom that work and problems remain for them to meet as Important and imposing as those their fathers heroicaUy undertook and partially mastered.

Not tho past greatness bmt tho present duties of Americans should be our chief concern Said Goethe: "The spirit In which we labor Is the chief matter." The spirit in which we celebrate Independence day Is tho test of our ability to preserve and to perfect the blessings and obligations which it confers. The fathers fought for Independence from external domination in government and achieved it Are we to day independent within ourselves of that inter, ference with our moral liDertles which they from outside sources would not brook with their political rights? Do wo deolare, or doclarlng do we achieve, that liberty of self which thoy secured for the colonies from tho mother country? Or Is party a nearer and a more tyrannous Britain, an England within us, that rules us more rigorously than King George's soldiers, sailors or governors sought to rule us from without? Taxation without representation Is tyranny when it levied at a range of 3,000 miles but Is taxation ot our thought, our will, our Judgment, our ballot, without the representation of our consent, our reason or our conscience any less of a tyranny when the authority takes tho form of an unthroned aud proximate boss instead ot that ot a distant "sceptered monarch and his crown?" Tho freemen of 1776 threw tho tea into a harbor eighty miles from here, because It symbolized an iniquitous though not an onerous Impost That tea was watered for an idea. The descendants of those freemen in every State do not throw overboard tho forces whloh lay a tax of caucus, of secret deoroes and of Inexorable subjugation on their votes. Collectively oarly America said: "We will belong to Individually later Americans can say and mean and prove that, only at the cost of abuse, opposition and persecution from tho Gog of party and tho Magog of "regularity." Tho armloa of a foreign prince no longer seal up our cities or bombard our coasts. The legions of partylsm blockade our choices, arrest our liberties, conquor our action and bend our thinking in the vise of their determination.

The great lesson of Independence day, fellow citizens, is Independence. Loud applause. By the very Irony of logic, the very things about which Americans should be free are, by a form of paradox, exactly the things which enslave them. Americans won from Great Britain the right freely to settle the questions which concern themselves; but oh tbe slavery of the Americans of to day to thoso very questions! Ono supreme question for a peoplo la the right to determine Its own methods of taxation. Assail that right with a stamp act, levied by a remote rulor on an unrepresented people, and you make tho revolution.

Involve the same question in a consideration of a domestic tariff, to be decided by ourselves, and on one side banded interests spring up to enslave us, while on tho other side imperious Isms dispute the path of thought An entire nation bocomes serf of Incorporated values or of incorporeal theorios. Below tho British stamp was the consideration of right or wrong. Beneath tho CuBtom Houbo stamp, or tho Internal revenue stamp Is tho same consideration. In tho one caso. you meet it with manly unity of resistance unto blood; in tho other you trim on It to the very verge of mental coward Ice and moral mendacity.

We havo no moral right to do against ono another things in themselves wrong which Great Britain had neither moral nor political right to do against us. "But," you ao tnis tarougu our representatives. iiiai noes not meet tho case. As a rule lu this country, your representatives are selected for you and not bfea. In turn, thoy represent not you but those who nave kindly and witn your supino willingness assumed the right to make their will your law.

So variod, In parts so opposite and iu parts so united are these usurping forces, exterior and superior to you, that tho representatives which thoy choose do not produce legislation at all. They produce m.iroly the paralysis of legislation. Sensitiveness to external dlotation flred our peoplo to war against tho idea of a tax that would have colloctod a few thousand dollars. Abjoctness under interior dictation presents tho spoctacle of a peoplo, lnflnltely more numerous, contentedly or at least not robel llously contemplating the stagnation of all the remedies law was meant to provldo with the consequence of a treasury gorged with a surplus that 1b neither lessoned nor relonsod and with vaults crowded with adebaaed coinage arbitrarily requlrod to represent more Iu the pocket than it will on the scales, an accumulation that can neither bo arrested nor disbursed. Whoa the two parties, whloh are forms of unique and oxquislte despotism over thought, approach thlB question ot a domestic policy of taxation, they are colorloss, limp and tentative, riaitorms are not iounaations tor principles.

They are nets to catch votes or bids to lure them or Juggloa to reuiln them; yet tho man, free born and deBcendod from freemen, who on the Fourth of July sings, "Lot independence be our boast, over mindful what It cost," who does not declare that the net called a plattorm is truth, that tho Jugglo callod a platform Is honesty, that the bids called a platform are slucore, consistent and upright is denounced as au onnmy ot tho human race, a pharisee, a hypocrite, a self righteous fraud, a sorehead, a Mugwump or other form of roproach. Loughter and applause. Would not the right to think and tho right to doclaro our thought aud tho right to act our thought and to voto our thought be a good resolution for ub to pass on this Independence day, In tho convention of the faculties ot our own mind and conscience Was It bocause Otis. Sam Adamn, John Adams, Chnrles Sumner, William Lloyd Garrison, or Wen doll Phillips belonged to parties, or was it because they wero parties In themselves, that they did great things for humanity? Wa3 it because they compromised or because thoy would not compromise that they wore ablo to do thoso groat things for humanity? Did they let out their thinking to any one else? Did they mortgage their manhood to any one else? Was King George the dominatorof the Drat named mon 7 Was King Caucus tho domi nator of the second set named Understand me, I do not docry or oppose partlos. Thoy aro or ought to bo a union of thoughtful mon freely united as Individuals on tho things which In thoir free opinion moke for tbe bost interests of the State.

But what makes parties strong and keeps thom puro is un fo'tterod utteranco. What makos thom tyrannous and tends to make them corrupt is tho substitute of aheer organization for such unfotterod utterance. Uttorauco sends forth ideas and reasons, to work thoir way iu unison with and by the aid of tho laws of God iu tho world. Tho sov oroiRuty of rnaunood, surrendered to tho Invonted despotism of tho quasi military organization which the homely oonse ot men calls tho machine, sends forth tho rescripts of sodden Jobbers to work in unison with and by tho aid of tho laws of tho dovil in tho world. Applause.

A magnificent oxamplo of uttoranco was furnished by that profound, that almost transcendent man whom New Hampshire gave to Massachusetts and Massachusetts to mankind. A passing example of machiulsm In porfect form Is presented by that man whom Massachusetts sought of lato to give to New York, but whom New York was respectfully glad to return without thanks. All tho earth knows what Danlol Wobster thsught and Bald. Will any literature ovor reveal an lota of what Simmons thought, or any evl donoo that he evor thought at all? Here aro two products of the two systemsof party as tho vehicle of Tdoas and of party as the thrall ofjt machine. Which name on the Fourth of July more euphoniously fills the trump of fame The kitchen question In government Is another enslaver of Americans.

Liberty doy 1b a good time to look at this tyrant, whether tomorrow or next week ho shall rosumo his mastership or not Did wealth, brains and tosto create this Summer Eden at Martha's Vinoyard only to mako here a commonwealth of culture to bo ruled by clerks, waiters, coachmen, porters and other grades of paid helpers? Aro thoy selected by the capitalists of business or by the mastors ot the arts and sciences who here reside, at tho dictation of persons remote from here, with no interests hero and with no knowledge' of tho employes themselves, of their employers or of the requirements of either? Do they hold thoir places at the will of such outsiders or so long as they profoss certain views entirely unrelated to tho things which thoy have to do? Are they required to turn over a part of their wages to the purse of tho supposed outsldo body that appoints and retains thom Are they appointed to thoir places, not by their omployes, but Dy outsiders, expressly because of their activity in matters uufltting them for thoir duties Aro thoy, while drawing the money of thoir employors and while hiring their tlmo and labor to them, roqulrod to use somo of that money and time and labor oxpressly in thwarting the will, rights and interests of such employers As soon as they may booome oflloloat and experienced In their dutlos, are thoy turned out to make room for green and unfitted sncoossors, dictated by outsldors To these questions your minds have already answered no, while possibly wondorlng why I have put them to you. Woll, fellow citizens, if yon had truthfully to answer every one of these questions by yes Instead of by no, thon this beautiful Island would be the Boano and subject in its work of what is called the Rnniia system. As you con answer all these quostlons by no, your beautiful Island Is the aneno and Bnhltmt of what Is called the Civil Servloe reform system. find I can win the assent of men and women to right propositions, It the propositions aro addressed to their experience directly and with an avoidance of terms over the sound of whloh, rather than about the meaning of which, cltlnns have had contention. Precisely in the Ram relation In whloh th mrnnia ct Martha's Vineyard stand to the mployera ol was Bet on fire by crackers and partially destroyed.

One of his daughters, who was sitting at the window, narrowly escaped. The house Is not a block from the Stagg street Station Houso. About 4 P. M. the awning of George Young's grocery, 171 Stagg Btroot, was fired by crackers and totally destroyed.

Mr. Conrad Blohlor, from tho second story, tried to extinguish the flames with a pail of water. Philip Schneider, in endeavoring to do the same thing from tho third story, drenched Blehler from head to foot. About 5:30 T. M.

About 9 P. M. Louis Gentsch was sitting at a window on the third floor of 240 Hopkins street, with his little 2 year old daughter on his arm, when a bullet flred from the opposite side of the Btroot struck his wrist, ust abraslng the skin, but leaving a large swelling.

The ball was found and taken to the Flushing avenue Police Station. Detective Brady immediately proceeded to the place and endeavored to ascertain who had flred tho shot, but no one appeared to know anything about it outside of the Geutsch family. Much of the fireworks purchased for tho Fourth woro exploded on Sunday, and tho noise, for this roason, ceased earlier than usual. About 10 o'clock all was quiet in Dutchtown. Mr.

J. J. Eiseman, noticing that tho work of "celebrating" was beginning to languish, early in the evening purchased a large supply of crackers, rockets and Roman candlos, and, sorting them into prizes, calling about 100 children togothor lu front of 178 Graham avonue, startod several races races for boys, races for girls, running races, walking races and hopping races; distance, 1504rards. About 10 P. a skyrocket traversed a largo portion of Grand street above Ewen street and resolved itself into stars against a plate glass window in the upper part of Mr.

Daniel Canty's residence, 532 Grand street, fracturing a pano worth $75. About 11 :30 A. while Joseph Volkemmor, aged 18 years, was kneeling over a small cannon and helping it go oil by blowing In the touch hole.

At 12 o'clook lost night Alexander Doller became involved In a quarrel with Richard Vallmer, of 125 Biishwlck avenue, In tho Baloon of N. Hoffman, cor nor of Montrose and Central avenues. Doller, It appears, then left for home and was followed by Vail mor and wife and the quarrel was renewed, during which. It is alleged, Doller drew a knifo and slashed Vallmer about the head and face. Doller, too, sustained a scalp wound, caused by a brick thrown by Mrs.

The exercises wero Introduced by patriotic selections by the band, followed by the Song of Freedom," Bung by the Las selle Maennerchor, after which the chairman of tho mooting, Mr. Adnlph Pettenkoffer, spoke briefly on "The Day We Celebrate." Among other selections was the reading of the Declaration of Independence by Mr.

He said, among other things It is always weU to remember for our encouragement, the great deeds and events ot the past They are surely worth talking about when they bear with such significance on the growth of our country. We are here to day to celebrate the 112th anniversary of a nation with which the history of no nation can compare.

We stand to day 60,000,000 of peoplo withiu the light of a mighty hope, wlthlu the hope of a mighty Idea. This is a great and wonderful age. First and foremost thero has como to tho people of the land the one prevailing idea of equal rights. The past has seen the struggle for federal and civic rights, but nevor before has the right of the individual and tho personal equality of men boon so prominontly and forcibly put before tho peoplo as on this day. There Ib one dominating fact, one controlling idoa for us as a party seeking to widen our field of exertion and to extend our opportunities, to over keep before us and that Is that in the history of mankind this is the one country founded on tho industry of Its people.

When I spoak of tho Commonwealth of Labor, I speak of tho foundation on which the country was built and upon which It alone can succeed. There is a reverse side to the picture I would draw. Side by side with the incalculable blessings that have grown out of Industry havo also sprung up untold perils for tho massos, through the power that has gone to the few, by the accumulation of great wealth. While tho few havo untold riches, tho men who toll grow hungry, work for starvation wages, and women and children are compelled to wear their livos away in tho strugglo to acquire sufficient means to procuro the baroBt necossltios requisite to koop body and soul together, and sometimes faiL We hare fought a groat war and three millions of men returned to industrial pursuits. By it vast discontent has como, and groat uneasiness prevails throughout tho land, among tho men upon whom the welfare of the nation depends, and all due to tho suppression of tho Industrial olasses, under the grinding heel ot a few capitalists.

We have seen the uprooting of all old conditions; we have seen and uuffo rod the results of the power of tho classes ovor tho. masses, and unless wo use tho remedies In our hands for tho subjugation of the masses by tho classes poverty must grow. If the worklngman Is not to he forever a social serf, for God's sake let him learn to read that all men are creatod free and equal which was the dream of tho men who first put tho machinery of the nation in motion. For this wo are striving and to this end we are hastening and for this wo demand this new version of tho Declaration of Independence, "and wo hold that in the course of those 111 years tho first change in tho material conditions of life a change that our foretathers could not foresee makes it imperative to found our independence now upon tho commonwealth of Labor, which will secure to all tho moans of Ufo, liberty and tho pursuit of happiuoss." It Is to this end all labor parties are struggling, "to estab lish to a perpetuity, with equity for its law, liberty ior its power ana justice lor tuo people, tho commonwealth of Labor." Sea Breezes and Giliuorc's Canopy. Concerts woro givon at Manhattan Beach yestor day aftornoon and evening at 3, 5, 7 and 9 o'clock.

At tho boglnnlng of tho 3 o'clock concert tho stiff broozo from tho sea rippod a. hole In tho blj; Oriental canopy over tho double decked music pavilion ana tho richly dyed canvas bogan to flap so ominously with each recurring gust of wind that at tho close of tho performance of tho fourth number on tho programme Mr. Corbiu mado his appearance on tho music stand and said that it had boon docldod to Interrupt tho concert long enough to take down tho awulug. Ho assured tho audlonco that thero was no danger, but advised thom for tho sake of their own comfort to vacato the pavilion without unnecessary delay. At the doors tho holders of reserved seat tickets were told that their coupons would entitle them to readmiBsion, but others wero rather rudoly Informed by the gatekeepers that no return checks could be given to those who had occupied ton cent seats.

Mr. Corbln was evidently very much annoyed when he heard of tho action of his employes, for he promptly tacked up at oaoh entrauce, with his own hands, large cards bearing tho announcement that holders of coupons would be entitled to their soats at the 5 o'clock concert and that all others would be admitted free on giving their word that they had been prosent at the 8 o'clock concert Meanwhile tho wind was endeavoring to load tho Man. hattan Beach employes in tho work of removing tho canopy from its fastenings. The rent in the centor was continually inoroased in proportions and as the worklngmen took down one side of the canopy tho other side tugged so violently at Its fastenings that tho ropes and poles which hold It were dashed against the handsome colored glass coverings on the outer circular row of gas Jets and in less than thirty minutes several dozen costly globes were flung to tho ground and smashed while hundreds of peoplo looked on. It was after 5 o'clock bo fore the canopy was completely lowered and carried away.

Then the doors were thrown open and a largo audience, with only tho sky for a covering, listened to tho 5 o'clock concert which, despite tho fact that tho opening was delayed by the mishap of tho afternoon, was lengthened by Mr. Gll raore, who directed the performance of several selections not down on the programme. This had the effect of putting the still partially annoyed 8 o'clock visitors In excellent spirits and they became thoroughly enthusiastic when a patriotic young attache ot the pavilion climbed a pole at apparent personal risk to fling out to the evening breeze an American flag that had become wrapped about the staff. The young man was cheered and so was Mr. Gllmore when he started up some appropriate Fourth of July music.

A Fetw Accidents. John Donahue, aged 14, of 688 Myrtle avenue, had his face and hands badly burned by the explosion of a cannon. William PrKcaard, aged, I 147 BvtAlM though ho had been notlflod that Sunday danolng was prohibited undor sootlon 265 of the Penal Codo the second arrest was mado In alleged violation of section 271 of the Penal Code. Tho men wero all permitted to go until to morrow morning upon the word of Mr. Foltman.

In spoaklng of the arrest last night, Mr. Feltman said it would load to a legal decision of his rights in tho matter. He felt that ho had violated no law and that other offonsss of greater moment than pis were permitted without hindronco. Ho claimed that dancing was the most innocent ot all amusements; that It was taught children by the most careful of parents and that It was Included In the courso of studios at Wost Point Although he sold he had kept his placo In such perfoct order that in the thirteen years thoro had boon but two arrests, for minor assaults, unpremeditated, within its precincts, he had expressed a willingness that tho Police Board should placo, at his expense, a reasonable number of officers in tho baU room to perservo the strictest decorum, thoy wero not In favor of doing so, but wanted to stop tho dancing altogether. Tho roal question, ho claimed, should not be tbe suppression of Sunday dancing, but of stopping Suuday disorder.

He was willing to aid tho poUco in the prevention of the latter atoll times. He under stood that tho dancing was stoppod at his placo be cause of disturbances elsowhero and that if tho press was willing that dancing should contlnuo there on Sunday, Chlof Mcllane was willing It should be so.
