Numerous Applications for Permits to Sell— Rules and Regulations That Should Be Read and Remembered. Dealers in fireworks and explosives of all kinds are evidently anticipating large sales between now and the Fourth of July, for the number of permits for their sale is far In excess of any previous year at this time. More than three hundred permits have already been issued, and applications for them are reaching police headquarters by every mail. This would seem to insure a lively time for the police and fire de- partments. Under the law the discharge of fireworks or firearms is prohibited, bet, as a rule, the police do not interfere with the cele- bration where the fireworks used are not especially noisy or dangerous. Maj. Moore has not been in the habit of issuing any order to the men concerning the Fourth, except for them to use good judgment and prevent as far as possible the destruction Gf life and property. Several years ago, be- fore Maj Moore was chief, there was an order for the enforcement of the law is- sued, and the small boys who were driven ito ‘the back sheds set many of them on fire aud caused the constant calling out of the fire department. Sensible Restraints on Patriotic Ardor The storing of gunpowder in houses in quantities of more than thirty pounds is prehibited, and then the powder must be kept in tin canisters, with small mouths and tin tops to fit. The firing of a gun, pistol or cannon in the streets or on a pub- lic space or open lot within 200 yards of a dwelling house is prohibited under a penal- ty of $5 for each offense. White firecrack- ers, squibs gnd artificial fireworks are not allowed to be set off within 100 yards of a buliding, under a penalty of from $1 to $5. The Commissioners in dealing with the subject enacted a regulation requiring a permit for dealers as follows: No fireworks or explosives of any kind whatsoever shall be manufactured, stored, kept, or used within the limits of the Dis- trict of Columbia without a license pre- viously obtained from the major of police under direction of the Commissioners, or except in connection with public works under the direction of the officer in charge thereof.” Will Be Honored in the Brench. Another section provides against the use of firearms in these words: “No gun, rifle, pistol, or other firearm shall be discharged within the limits of the ies of Washington or Georgetown or any suburban settlement within the District of mbia, or in or on any publi highway within the said District y a special permit therefor by the major of ded, however, That the pro- hall not apply to licensed shooting galleries and similar cs- tablishments between the hours of 6 o'clock a.m. and midnight of the secular days of the week.” ‘The granting of permits has been going on for several days, and it requires three lays in which to get the permit after ti application is made. Heretofore many of the dealers in fireworks have waited until the last day before applying for permi and some of them called too late. This yecr, however, they are not putting it off until the last minute, and it is thought by the police that all of them will be issued in the next few da; ——— FRIDAY IS FLAG DAY. Business Houses Will Decorate and the Observance Will Be General. Besides the celebration of the day in the public schools, it is desired that citizens generally should observe the anniversary of the day in 1777 when the Continental Congress adopted the stars and stripes as tne national emblem, and to this end the Scns of the Revolution and the Sons of the American Revolution desire business men and all others to make a display of tie flag next Friday. Last year personal communi- cations to the business men of the city making a like request were generally com- plied with, and it is thought that an ap- peal through the press will be all that is hecessary to secure the desired display this year. A Patrictic Entertainment. Observance of Flag day is one of the tenets of faith of the Woman's Relief Corps and the Grand Army of the Republic, and the former ts preparing to give an enter- tainment Friday evening. The tone of the entertainment will be patriotic, of course, both in song and story; the songs will be numerous and the stories short. Among the prettiest features will be the flag drill and Balch salute by a class of young girls and c! singing by the young ladies who delighted the gathering ‘at Arlington on Memorial day. There will be patriotic songs sung by a quartet furnished by Mrs. H. H. Mills, and addresses will be made by General S. S. Burdette, Dr. Frank T. Howe and others. The program is in the hands of the committee on teaching pa- triotism in the. public schools—Mr. Kibby, Mrs. Mary H. North and Mrs. Eliza Nay- lor—-who have been doing excellent work in getting both the salute and flag drill in- troduced in the public schools of the Ms- trict and the flag raised above. the school buildings. The entertainment, which {s open to the public, will be most instructive and interesting. ee Froebel Institute Finals.

WHOLESALE PRODUCE MARKET. Eges Higher—Other Products About as Last Quoted. With, perhaps, the single exception of eggs, the market today is as it was a week ago. Eggs, however, contrary to general expectation, have advanced, and are boom- ing today at a rise of about 3 cents a dozen. Butter holds its own, with fine stock scarce. Beef also holds its own, still higb, and showing no indications of an early mate- rial change in prices. Prices for’ vegetables are practically as they were last week. Poultry, although not of a particularly fine grade, is abundant, with slightly lower prices. Altogether, the market is an ex- cellently well supplied one. Busineas is good, future prospects most encouraging, and the market is, therefore, a firm and active one. Butter is quoted today as it was a week ago. The indications point to an ad- vance rather than to a decline, advices from the producing sections predicting a dry season, which will result in reduced yields and consequently higher prices. For this reason trouble is expected also from heated goods, arrivals already showing a sour, summery condition. There is, but a moderate demand, and there is still a dis- position to hold really perfect goods, spe~ ulators both looking up and holding such stock, the effect being an offering of heated fine goods at from 17% to 18 cents a pound. Nearby rezeipts, although slightly on the increase, show up heated and with a garlic flavor. Today, as was the case a week ago, 20 cents a pound are asked for fanc, igin creamery and other western extras; choice, 18; firsts, 16; seconds, 15; fancy creamery print, 23 to 25; dairy print, 16 to 1 Mayland and Virginia print, 14 to1 ern dairy, best, 12 to 13, and good, 9 to 1 Maryland and Virginia creamery, 16 to 1 and good to prime, 11 to 13; bakers’ stock, 12%. Nothing but, new cheese is now being of- fered, and it ts fair in quality, from 9 to 10 eents a pound being asked. A_week ago eggs were weak at from 12 to 12% cents a dozen. Today 15 cents are asked, and ancther slight advance is not improbable. They are not in good shape, as a rule, most of them coming in badly heated. While a still further slight rise is not improbable, a reattion very shortly is more probable, with a decline in prices. Poultry is slightly lower today, and rather plentiful, old stock being in fair de- mand at the lower prices. For spring chickens there is a good demand, they sell- ing at from 16 to 18 cents a pound, old stock bringing from 5 to 8. Ducks, 8 to 9, and geese, 6 to 8. Although the arrivals in vegetables con- tinue targe and are daily increasing, prices show today little, if reajly any, change. 5 cents to $1.50 a box; kale, % cents a bar new peas, $1 per box; Georgia beans, cents to $1 a box; asparagus, 50 cents to $1 a dozen; lettuce, $1.50 to $2 a barrel; new Trish potatoes, to $1.50 a barrel; old stock, ! sweets, to a barrel; da tomato to $t a crate; cah- bage, $1.50 to el; beets, $2 to $4 cents a California to $4.2 box, dressed meats prices as last quoted, live cattle at from 2 to 6 cents a to 4 1-2, s, with , 3 to 6 cents ssed cajves, 5 to 9; sheep, 4 intry sugar-cured hams, 9 to 11. _—- AMUSEMENTS. to 6; co! Grand Opera Hovse.—During the coming week at the Grand Opera House Frederic Bond and company will present a revival of that favorite comic play, “My Awful Dad.” The play was first presented to Washington audiences two summers ago by the stock company, and its revival each succeeding year has clearly demonstrated its popularity. In the character of Adonis Evergreen Mr. Bond is admirably cast and has made the part one of his favorite roles. Mr. and Mrs. Findlay will, of course, as- sume their original character, and beauti- ful Blanche Walsh will enact the role of the charming widow. For a curtain raiser a novelty will be presented, entitled “Ro- meo’s First Love,” a fantasy in one act, written by the celebrated English writer, A. E. Lancaster. The play is an exquisite trifle of comedy in blank verse, and treats ot Romeo's love for Rosalind before his meeting with the daughter of the Capulets. Miss Walsh will make a shapely Romeo in tights and trunks. Seats now on sale. New National Theater.—The attraction at the New National Theater next weck will be the amusing comedy, “Married in Haste,” in which the excellent company will be seen to good advantage. The cw tain rais-r will be “The Happy Pair,” pla ed by Miss Mary Sanders and Mr.’ Josepia Wheelock, jr. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The marked enthusiasm with which the boxing contests has been received at the Lyceum during the past two weeks has encouraged Man- ager Kernan to continue the sport. A se- ries of contests has been arranged between scme of the most prominent fighters in this part of the country. ‘The contests given at the Lyceum have undoubtedly been the best ever seen in this city. Each night a pre- liminary bout will be given in conjunction with a “star event. The contest arranged for Monday night will be between Howard Wilson, the 125-pound champion of the DI ct, and Paul Doane, the 125-pound champion of Philadelphia. Both of the above are exceptionaliy clever in the ring, and an interesting contest will undoubtedly be the result. The prices of admission will be 25 and 50 cents. ed COLUMBIAN PREPS IN DEBATE. The Monroe Doctrine and Federal Elettions Under Discussion. A good audience heard the annual debate of the first class of the Columbian prepara- tery school last night in the lecture hall of the university. The question under discus- sion was whether the United States should, under a proper extension of the Monroe doctrine, exercise a virtual supremacy over the other American republics. The aflirma- tive side was supported by C. H. Holmead, jr, and M. F. Lanza, and the negative was presented by S. M. Mason and Ralvix Har- lan. Mr. Holmead was ill, and his paper The judges re Rev.

Mrs. Jarley’s Wax Works at Peck Chapel—Corporations Elect Officers —Other News of Interest. Many gallons of cream and what general- ly goes with it were last night.absorbed at the Linthicum Institute. It was the an- nual and longingly looked-for feast of the pupils, tendered this year by the dramatic club of the institute, the “Linthicum Stu- dents.” There was satisfaction and jollity visible upon every face there. Formality and Puritanic decorum were laid aside for nearly three hoursy and as speeches from the boys were called/for and happy old memories revived, hearts swelled simul- taneously with stomachs. The “Linthicum Students” being the hosts, Mr. R. Clinton Balinger, the oldest: member, welcomed the beys in a cordial speech, and then request- ed Mr. E. B. Hay to preside. After mak- ing characteristic remarks, and dwelling upon the success that has been achieved by the students in literary Washington, end the interest that their appearance al- ways creates, he calied upon the following to still further enliven the occasion with speeches: J. Barton Miller, Robert Lowe, Guy V. Collins, William B. Sebastian, I. Oettirger, Nathan Weill, Jas. A. Keliher, Edw. S. Smith, B, Peyton Fletcher, Clifton and W. H. Kunkel. All the efforts were witty, wise and tender, A novelty for this heretofore distinctly boys’ occasion was the presence of Miss Pulizzi and Miss Don- ohue, the adopted daughters of the insti- tute, and members of the “students’”’ or- ganization, both of whom snappily re- sponded to the requests for speeches. Mr. Edward L. Dent, Mr. Hedrick, Miss Wiss- ner, Mrs. Edw. L. Dent, Mrs. R. C. Bal- inger and Miss Helen Rowe were special guests of the evening. Last night’s feast, with all its incidentals, was voted the pleasantest in the history of the ‘nstitute. * The boys will now rest from school labor until the first Monday in October. Mrs. Jarley’s Wax Works. At Peck Chapel last night there was an exhibition of Mrs. Jarley’s wax figures, classical, historical and comic, preceded by “The Nettle,” the clever sketch which Mr. and Miss Pulizzi of the Linthicum Students introduced to the Washington public. They played unusually weil last night, keeping the audience in high humor from initial speech to finale Other features of the evening were vocal solos, ‘Ben Bolt” and x et Genevieve,” by Mrs. Florence Bar- ringer; solo, “Warrior Bold,” Mr. Arthur Barringer; vocal solo, Mr. Geo. Judd, and Messrs. Dowd and Reh in a comic sketch, introducing Mr. Dowd’s originai seng, “Washington.

Mr. Exum Percival Lewis of 1507 Ver- mont avenue, who takes the degree of Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University June 18, has been nominated for the position in the University of California recently filled by Prof. Harold Whiting, who was drowned in the wreck ef the Colima off the Pacific coast. Mr. Lewis has been.connected with Columbian University and the Bliss School of Electricity in this city. For several years he has been assistant in the phys- ical laboratory of Jobns Hopkins University. | His thesis is published in the current num- ber of the Astral Physical Journal of Chi- cago, und is in the line of the work on which Prof. Langley of the Smithsonian has been engaged for a number of years. Mr. Lewis has measured, with the aid of a very delicately adjusted spectroscope and radiomicrometer in the Johns Hopkins lab- oratory, the wave lengths of the dark lines in the infrared of the metallic spectrum. He deserves great credit for his original work. During the progress of his investi- gations he received a very appreciative mention of the character of his work in Lord Kelvin’s Magazine, published in Glas- gow, Scotland, the highest scientific author- ity in the world. He was recommended for the position by President Gilman of Johns Hopkins University, formeriy president of the University of California. But the Edmunds Law Unfortunately Cannot Be Brought to Her Aid. A colored woman named Emma Rhone appeared in the clerk's office of the Police Court yesterday afternoon and wanted to know if she could not get some redress under.the Edmunds law. According to her statemen she has lived a life of single blessedness for about forty years. Nine years ago, she said, she met a man named Nathan Redmond, and all these years he has been her friend. He finally proposed, and Emma, thinking she would like to have some one to care for her in her old age, said “y and then lived in the happy enticipation of the future. But recently, she says, she learned that Nathan was married, and has a wife in the country, and so the engagement had to be declared off because of Nathan's liability under the cna did not seem to understand much about the divorcee laws, or just how the Edmunds law might affect the case, but when she stated the'faets she was informed that the law did not apply, and that all she could do was to wait until Nathan is divorced, and then marry him. “Or you can get Married now,” she was told, “and then get him arrested and put away for bigamy.” “That ain't what‘I vant to do,” she said. “I don’t want him sent aw; There was nothing that the clerk could do, and so Emma went home.

The Wife Sues for an Accounting and Recovery of Property. The troubles of Genevieve E. Walker and her husband, Bartow L. Walker, were given further publicity in a suit filed by her yes- terday afternoon against her husband, the Virginia-Alabama Company and Paul J. Brandt, a clerk of Mr. Walker's. Mrs. Walker complains that her husband ob- tained control of about $31,000 of her funds, wh'ch she received from her father’s estate. This sum, she claims, her husband invested in several real estate enterprises, and she charges that Mr. Walker conveyed to Brandt in November last all his real estate here to secure an alleged indebtedness of 325,000 to Archibald C. Walter, his brother- in-law, since which time Brandt has con- veyed the property to the Virg.nia~-Alabama Company, of which, says, her husband is really the princi She, there- fere, prays for a fu ting by her husband, and for a reconveyance to her of the property.

The Society of the Christ Child, in giv- Work of the ing its twentieth annual report, shows wherein it has rendered applaudable aid to many of the poor children of Washington. Its purpose is to give to the needy and worthy children, who are brought to its notice, clothing and toys in winter, and a two weeks’ outing in summer. Notwithstanding th; rd times during the past year, the society distributed 1,825 garmcnts; gave books and toys to 169 chil- dren during the Christmas holidays, and sent seventy-three little ones into the coun- try for a two weeks’ stay last summer. The society extends its benefits to all children under the age of twelve years, ir- respective of sex, sect or race. It was founded twenty years ago by a little seven- Year-oll girl, and has grown to its present proportions from the offering of one litle suit made by her own hands for a poor child. The next year it had three members, and gave out three little suits of clothing, and gradually increased, until it now num- bers 225 members and is supported by con- tributicns entirely, The fresh air fund is now being con- tributed to, so that as many of the poor suffering little ones of this city as can be Nees for may be given a two weeks’ out- ing. — Election of C.
