An Expert in the Trade Télls What Fireworks Cost and How Some People Buy Them. “What does it cost for a man to properly celebrate the Fourth of July in a pyrotech- nic way?" An Evening Star reporter leveled this in- quiry at an avenue merchant who becomes a dealer in fireworks about this time of year. “That depends on the man, the extent of his patriotism and the size of his bank account,” was the response. “There is an immense amount of money spent every year in celebrating the Glorious Fourth in the way you indicate, although there is not stich general generosity of expenditure in Washington as there !s in other cities. “The fact is,” he continued, a.t Wash- ington people don’t seem to be as ardent in their patriotism as people elsewhere. I reckon the reason is that they live right here in the home of the government and become so familiar with the workings of the machinery that they don’t give much thought to the results of its operation in a national sense. I don’t mean that they are any less loyal in their love of the country, but you know how intimate knowl- edge of the every-day sort with its instt- tutions rubs off the real veneration. “Now, take Washingtonians in another way. Those who were born and reared here don’t get very much impressed with the Capitol and the public buildings and the monument, but the adult visitor who comes to this city for the first time never entirely recovers from the surprise and the enthusiastic pride inspired by the first. sight of the dome. But you are not here to hear me philosophize. Fireworks are what you want to know about. A Flower Pot at $25. “There is scarcely any limit to the amount of money a man can spend in making the atmosphere the medium of his patriotism,” he went on. “See the square, canister-looking box there, with the drag- ons and serpents on it? Well, that is a flower pot, which needs $25 for you to ossess. It is made so that it will burn for an hour, constantly throwing up a fountain of vari-colored fire balls and =. and at last sends up a bomb that en at 500 feet, filling the air with blue, green and white globes. There are cheaper flower pots, though, and we Rave them as low as ten cents. “The rocket is perhaps the most popular kind of pyrotechnic,” continued the dealer, “and they cost all the way from a nickel to $7. The latter sort are magnificent, and produce celestial beauties for a long time, apparently going out and then bursting into showers of color. Roman candles are favorites, too. They are sold according to the number of balls they contain and the effect the latter produce. They cost from two cents to a dollar. Mines are some- thing on the order of flower pots, but of less intricate manufacture. They explode all at once, and, while very beautiful, are not lasting. They range in cost from five cents to $4. Dragon wheels are retailed at from a quarter to $5, while pin wheels and vpinners may be had from a nickel to $2. Red fire is always in demand. It comes in packages, and a pound costs fifty cents, although it can be bought by the cent worth. Firecrackers? There will be mi lions of those exploded this week. They cost from one cent a package to fifty cents apiece. That one standing on the counter there retails at the latter price. Yes, it’s mighty big, and will cause a powerful racket. It is fifteen inches long, four inches in diameter, and contains four pernds of powder. Would I sell one to a small boy? Just about as soon as I would sell a stick of dynamite to my son. A Sample Order. “D0 return to your first question,’”’ con- tinued the genial me-chant, “perhaps th> best answer would be to show you some orders we have received. You will notice from this one,” handing the reporter a note, “that the customer mentions merel¥ the lump sum of $25 and requests a good assortment of good fireworks for that amount. I know him and know he has a family with two well grown boys and two little toddlers. You see, he states that he does not Include firecrackers in the order. I'll send him about the following list, and he will have a fine display that the little begin will enjoy as much as the big. Here it is: 4 flower pots. 5 15-ball Roman candle: 10 10-ball Roman candles. 10 dragon wheels. 2 skyrockets. 10 skyrockets. 6 14-Ib. packages red fire. Rocket stand and punk. $25.00 “Of course, it is very easy to have a con- siderable display for a very much sm sum, as you can readily see from the pi I have detailed to you, and I only showed the order and the list so as to give you an idea of how a great many people buy their fireworks and save themselves trouble of selection, while at the same time confining their expenditure to a definite amount.” eaves Sarees Transfers of Real Estate.

IN BEHALF OF TAYLOR, — Action Taken Meeting of East Washingto: Citizens, Quite a number of citizens of Heast Washington met ldst night at Baum’s Hall to take action-in behalf of Thomas J. Taylor, under sentence to be hanged for the murder of his wife. It was generally supposed that the meeting was called by the East Washington Citizens’ Associa- tion, Mr. M. I. Weller sta! however, that the association had nothing to do with the meeting. Mr. Loring Chappel was thereupon called upen to preside, and Mr. T. Nelson Conrad was chosen secretary. Mr. E. G. Niles, one of the attorneys of the condemred man, was invited to ad- dress the meeting. He read several affi- davits tending to show the character of Mrs. Taylor, and explained the case in detail. He added that since the trial he had shown the affidavits to several mem- bers of the jury that convicted him, and they all said had the evidence been pre- sented they would either have brought in @ verdict of acquittal or manslaughter. Mr. Niles claimed that Taylor was irre- sponsible for the killing. He scored Mr. Peake, who was implicated in the case, in a scathing manner. After he had con- cluded, Mr. Richard Rothwell, the father- in-law of Mr. Peake, and the owner of the house where the homicide occurred, asked permission to make a few remarks. He de- fended his son-in-law and said he had been at the house several times and reé- mained there as much as half hour, during which time he went all over the house looking for repairs. “Why couldn’t the neighbors have thought it was Pcake’s buggy? They drove the. same horse. Only two days before Taylor had stopped _his buggy, in which was Mr. Peake, and Tay- lor said: ‘Mi. Peake, I owe you the rent. I haven’t got it all. Here’s $5, but, Mr. Peake, don’t come to my house again to collect the rent.’ I asked Peake what was the matter and he said, ‘Oh, well, I won't go there again.” I am sorry for that poor man, and will sign any petition for him.” Mr. Niles said he was sorry to use Mr. Peake’s name, but thouzht it strange if he were so innocent that he could not have been present at the trial, and have been at this meeting. Mr. Barrett, another one of the counsel, followed much in the same line. It was not his purpose, he said, to blacken the character of the dead. He had refrained from doing it as much as possible at the trial, for the sake of the little girl. He had had large experience in defending murderers, but never before had seen a jury more bitter. A few had come for- ward and said they believed a milder sen- tence than one of death would satisfy the law. In conclusion, he euggested that a committee be appointed to wait upon the Attorney General and present the feelings of the citizens. Mr. M. I. Weller said he believed the ap- pointment of a committee was the proper way of proceeding. He was in favor of doing everything possibie to help the con- demned man. Since he had heard the evi- dence, he was more than ever confident that Taylor should not. hang. The chair- man was directed to name the committee at his pleasure. The meeting then ad- journed. ee MR. SHANNON AS A LECTURER. He Talks About Wrongs to a Large Audience at Metzerott’s Hall. Mr. J. Harry Shannon, who was once well known as a boy orator, but more re- cently a newspaper reporier, made his formal debut as a lecturer last evening at Metzerott Hall. His reappearance on the platform was greeted by an audience that was flattering in size and liberal with its applause. Mr. Shannon has Ideas of his own, and the ability to express them in a manner that is always entertaining and that frequently verges on the eloquent. His subject last evening was ‘Wrongs. He said that some of his ideas might shock the conventionalities of thought, but he would ask no credit for them beyond their intrinsic value. Much of what he said was in line with the methods of professional agitators, but more frequently he was puncturing humbugs with keen shafts of wit. He attacked many of the social condi- tions of the age, criti the inequalities of wealth, dealt harshly with the weak- nesses the peculiarities of those who make up the “upper crust” of society, and had a fling at the matrimonial system among the rich and aristocratic. He did rot take the ground that things are all wrcng, but that there are many conditions that must be cured or eliminated before society is what it should be. He expressed the opinion that there is coming a millen- nium when the light of reason and the sun of truth shall flood creation with its happy, honest glow; when the opportunities of the land shall be held as sacred as the light of the skies, the breath of the breeze or the sounds of the sea; when labor shall cease to be mocked as the badge of igno- rance and servility; wien crime shall be reduced to a minimum and _retfibution shall be visited upon transgressors, irre- Spective of degree; when men shall recog- nize that war is murder, militarism a bar- baric nuisance, and that the national con- ceit of patriotism is the prop of each, then, in the words of Milton's Comus, “From these gates sorrows shall fly afar. vbsieheletSsaaesey ea Death of Mrs. Monnte Stensbury. The friends of Mr. D. R. Stansbury, a well-known business man of this city and the representative of the state of Virginia in the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fel- lows, will be pained to learn of the death of his estimable wife, Mrs. Monnie E. Stansbury, which occurred in Alexandria last week. The funeral was held in Alex- andria Monday, and interment was made in Bethel cemetery. Mrs. Stansbury was highly esteemed by a large circle of friends and acquaintances for her sterling Chris- tian character. She was a daughter of the late Charles Parrish of Baltimore and step- daughter of Alderman L. M. Davis of Alex- andria. ——__ A Handsome Showing.
