FW. A GLORIOUS FOURTH. | 4 Emmerson of the The Small Boy and the Old Chap Both Celebrate. FIRECRACKERS AND PATRIOTISM. How the Day Was Observed Around Washington. OLD-STYLE CELEBRATIONS. ‘The patriotism that slumbers, or at any rate dozes, during much of the year woke up early this morning. It was assisted to a state of wakefulness by the small boy. who was around very early under the window with = giant cracker. This same small boy took possession of the town. From his point of view the police behaved on the whole magnificently. The po- liceman avoided as much as he could those places which the small boy had staked out as the scene of m noisy celebration. Notwith- standing this consideration it is more than likely that the small boy will continue as of yore to make fun of the “copper” bebind his back. PAPA LENDS ASSISTANCE, The'small boy is usually as ungrateful as repub- Ties are asserted to be. It was noticed that the small boy needed considerable assistance, in the way of setting off crackers, whistling booms, devil-chasers and other devices gotten | PF® up by pyrotechnists to satisfy the juvenile crav- ing for explosions and things that will sizzle. ‘This assistance was rendered with » most self- sacrificing spirit by older brothers, youthful uncles and in many cases by peter familias himself. It was observed also that when the supply gave out fathers and uncles sneaked around the corner in the direction of the fireworks store and soon afterward the dem- onstration was resumed. In some there was the greatest prodigality in the use of fire- crackers aud whole packs were let off at once, making « rapid sputtering that caused much delight. The small girl was nat entirely out of all this. Sometimes she stopped her ears and ran when # big cracker was going off, but there were placés where she took the lead, superin- tended the celebration, and even bravely let firecrackers go off in her finger. Papa came out into the yard early in the morning in dress- ing gown and slippers to utter some wise words of caution and generally ended by firing off » lot of crackers and showing how he used to do it when a boy, ‘THE OLD FOLKS CELEBRATE. ‘Then it was a great Fourth of July for older folks, The day was celebrated with much spirit.

Several organiza- tions celebrated ina good old-fashioned man- ner. The patriotic Hons and Danghters of the Revolution had their outdoor celebration at the Washington monument, being joined in it by large representation of the school children of the city and by many citizens. Martial music and the roar of cannon helped give to the cele- bration the ring of 1776.

Scores of little family parties wont out into the inviting woodlands near the city and picnicked, and the steamers carried from the city hun- dreds of others who looked in the direction of the river resorts for their day's pleasure. Altogether it was one of the pleasantest Fourths that Washington hrs known since the revered father of his country came up and marked out the limits of the city. flying everywhere. The starr: over public and private buildings and minia- tures of if were stuck upon baby carriages and bicycles and other such objects and worn on lapela.

The policeman had arrested him last night for setting off firecrackers in front of his place of business, and in stating the case to the court the officer said that horses were frightened and he gave warning against the use of the explosives. ‘Mr. Rubenstein said he only set off three fire- crackers and then he did not set them off while there was a horse about the square to. get frightened, nor bad the officer warned him. “The of he had been watching for me for an hour,” said Mr. Rubenstein, “and he choked me and made me go to the poliee station in my shirt leaves and without giv- ing me an opportunity to close my place. ; Suaze Kimball thought fine ought to be im) it is out as, lor persons to bet of Seorocherd noe teiguinn kecbea ee? sons who do so are liable for the result of their acts, Mr. Rubenstein was fined @5. “E only set off one firecracker,” said- Frank had Smith.

The PATRIOTIC EXERCISES. Three Societies of the American Revolu- tion Participate in Them. Religious Services at Epiphany Church and Then a Great Gathering About the Washington Monument. Perfect simplicity. and unostentatious pa- triotizm marked the observance of the day by the descendants of those who wrought the in- dependence of the country. For the sec- ond time the societies of the Sons and Daughters of the Revolution and the Sons of the American Revolution joined in celebrating the “glorious Fourth” in simple, practicat manner intended to arouse the interest and patriotiam of all true citizens of the republic. The program in- cluded religivus services at the Epivhany shado® of the’Wathington monument. There ‘was a generous tion in both and every arrangement was successfully executed, to the evident satisfaction of all concerned. THE SERVICES AT THE CHURCH. The services at the church began at 9:30 attendance was not yery large, and consisted mainly of the members of the three societies and their friends. The services were brief and simple and con- slated of morning prayer according, to the re- vised Episcopal ritual. Rev. Dr. read opening sentences of the Lord's prayer and ir sang the Bonite, Tho 147th Psalm was read responsively, after which Rev. Dr. Childs read the lesson of the day from the 87th chapter of Deuteronomy. Jubilate was then rendered by the choir, after which Rev. Dr. Elliott said the creed and prvere for the President. At tho request of . Dr. MeKim, who presided, the congrega- tion joined in singing the 309th hymn: **God bless our native lai Firm may she ever stand.” Dr. McKim pronounced the benediction and the services closed with the singing of “The Star Spangled Banner.” ‘THE LINE OF PARADE. ‘The societies then formed into line in front of the church, where they were joined by the a4 FIRING THE SALUTE.

Here a stand bad been erected, fronting which were a number of seats, on the western slope of the hill so as to give all the benefit of the grateful shade afforded by that mighty pile. By special invitation a number of school children were present in front seate. They were furnished with leaflets containing the words of “Star Spangled Banner" and “Hail Columbia,” and their singing added ma- terially to the rendition of those airs. ‘The exercises wore opened by singing the hymn,,+America,” the band leading and the opie following. In consequence of a slight Eitereuice im time the second ‘verse was sung without the band. GEN. SHIELD’ ADDRESS. Gen. G. H.
