Te SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTIA, Lewis Cook, aged seventeen years, living on Jefferson street near Monroe street, Anacostia, was severely burned about the face and eyes last evening by accidentally dropping a lighted match into a bag con- taining half a pound of gunpowder. Drs. Pyles and Harrison, who were summoned, sald they thought they would be able to save the boy's sight, but that the case is a serious one. Mr. H. A. Griswold has rented the hay scale at Anacostia from the District Com- missioners for $7 per year. Mr. C. W. Connor, who for the past seven- teen years has been keeper of the Anacos- tia bridge across the Eastern branch of the Potomac river, has resigned, and the duties of the place are being performed by ie former assistant, Mr. W. T. Vander- slice. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com- pany have distributed a large quantity of rails on their road running through Ana- costia, and it is understood that the entire line from Bladensburg, Md., to Shepherd's, opposite Alexandria, Va., will soon be re- laid with as heavy steel rails as are used on any part of the system. The attendance at Pencote Grove, where the young people of the Congress Heights M. E. Church had arranged to have a great celebration yesterday, was immense, and the program of the day's entertain- ment was effectively carried out, but unfor- tunately the rain which prevailed at night interfered to a considerable extent with the display of fireworks. Rev. James McLaren, pastor of Anacos- tia Methodist Episcopal Cherch, will go to Baltimore tomorrow to preach Sunday at the reopening of Canton Street M. E. Church. The pulpit of Mr. MeLaren’s church will be occupied Sunday by Revs. W. M. Osborne, M. D., and L. B. Wilson, D. D., of Washington, for the morning and evening services, respectively. —_—_—_—_ HYATTSVILLE. The picnic for the benefit of St. Jerome's Catholiz Church was held in Wine’s woods yesterday morning, and was largely ut- tended. A game of base ball was played between the Hyattsville Junior and Brook- land teams, in which the latter was suc- cessful by a score of 14 to 12. The rain put an end to the out-door enjoyment, and also prevented the game between the Hy- attsville Junior and Ccllege Park which was arranged for the evening, from being played. The pic: however, was continued at Magruder’s Hall, which was gaily decorated for ihe occasion. ous tables were in char nines, ladies: Dinner table, . Geo. W. McDei cream table, Mrs. R. E. White; Robert Callahan and cigar tab! Miss Edi Miss Agnes Duffy Mrs. Hoffman. was furnished colored string band and terpsichor pleasures were indulged in till nearly mid- night. Mr. Joseph Duffy held the luc number which won a handsome musical instrument. A large number of people Were present, including all the different -le- nominations ‘in the villge, and quite a sum was realized. The fair will be con- tinued this even:ng. Issac Jokrson and Thomas Detter of Washirgton, both colored, who came out here yesterday for the purpcee of enjoying the Fourth, were arrested by Bailiff Barr and arraigned before Justice Carr on the charge of being drunk and disorderly at the station. A pumber of witresses were examined, who testified that the defend- ants were neither drunk nor disorderly, and the evidence not being sufficient to cenvict them they were both discharged. Several colored men, it appears, were en- gaged in a lively dispute at the station in the afternoon, and made use of profane and obserne language, and Bailiff Barr placed one of them under arrest. He man- aged, however, to break away. from the bailiff, and the latter fired into the air In order to frigtter. him, but the darkey soon got heyord his reach and could not be re- captured. Barr then went beck and ar- rested Johnecn and Detter, who proved to be the wrong men. The patrictic citizens of this place made the air brilliant last night with the numbtr- ous rockets and Roman candles which they fired off. There was quite a display of fire- works at the reform school and Col. Rive: toy stand, BROOKLAND. The Fourth of July was generally ob- served in Brookland. The stars and stripes were displayed on many residences, and there was a continual rattling of firecrac! ers during the entire day. The rain som what interfered with the enjoyments of the evening, for many residents had prepared quite élaborate exhibitions of tireworks and had invited friends from Washington to witness them. Still, the fireworks were set off and made a beautiful display. The annual picnic to the children was heid in the grove of Dr. John B. Lord, sr., and was well attended. Every arrange- ment was made for the comfort and en- joyment of the little ones, and they were all treated to ice cream and cake. The tire- works were set off early in the evening. At the Eckington there was a fine display of fireworks, and Col. McKillup’s guest# felt that they had enjoyed the day. There was quite a celebration at the Sol- diers’ Home under the auspices of Henry Wilson Post, G. A. R. Sheridan Hall was well filled, and the program presented was quite attractive. The decorations were principally the stars and stripes tastefully arranged, and portraits of Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and Logan were con- spicuously displayed. Commander Moore of Wilscn Post made a neat introductory address and introduced Dr. Frank T. Howe, who spoke at some length, advocating a more formal observance of the Fourth and of all national holidays in this city, be- lieving that in that way a more general feeling of patriotism would be aroused. He urged that the children should be taken to patriotic gatherings, that they might grow up imbued with the love of country. He thought that the birthdays of Lincolngand Grant and that flag day should be made national holidays and appropriately ob- served. ‘The program included music by the Sol- diers’ Home Band, a piano solo by Mrs. Pickrell, recitations by Miss Marie Howe, Mrs. Mary T. Haywood, Mr. Duncan T. Haywood, Miss Daisy Calver and Mr. Gold- win Patton, and vocal solos by Miss Jennie Haywood, Miss Lillian Halley and Miss Dr. Thomas Caiver recited an orig- “Fair Columbia,” and a quartet wocd and Nye, Iver rendered “O me" very effectively and Gertrude Walsh rah Willard Howe of Uni- Miss Ss ting ‘sity Heights.

Ex-Representative Butterworth and Others Make Patriotic Speeches. Two o'clock found the citizens of Ken- sington and visitors from the surrounding neighborhood wending their way to a Clear- ed space in the grove in the rear of the residence of ex-Mayor Thomas R. Martin. They gathered to listen to an old-fashion- ed Fourth of July celebration. The Rock- ville Band opened with appropriate selec- tions. R. B. Detrick presided and intro- duced Rev. James T. Marshall, pastor of the Warner Memorial Presbyterian Chureh, who invoked the divine blessing. Mr. Marshall, when alluded to as a lineal de- scendant of Betsy Ross, who designed and made the first stars and stripes, said he always felt that he had done weil in choos- ing so patriotic a woman for his great great grandmother, and hoped to live ever tradition. So eenianie Butterworth, the speaker of the day, was next introduced. The Puritans, Quakers and Huguenots,who settled this country, he said, were three distinct and different types, each believers, in their way, of individual freedom—the Puritan, in freedom of thought, if you thought as he did; the Huguenot ‘cavalier, in freedom that you are willing to fight for and able te maintain; and the Quaker, in the freedom-to mind his own business and let his neighbor do the same. Out of these three types has grown the sturdy Ameri- canism of teday. But we were confronted with conditions that threatened to lose to up this grand heritage. Those who sought cur shores no longer bore the stamp of sturdy shood, nor possessed an indi- viduality to make a people free and great. Europe lost nothing when they left. Amer- fea gained less than nothing when they came.. Political demagogues played upon them for personal gain, as they herded in large cities; use their Ignorant prejudices to destroy ‘our cherished institutions, to spoil the public funds and debase the bal- lot. It was from the country-bred children of our Jand that a barrier must come to stay this tide of disloyalty and corruption, Among the men who fousht the issue of ‘, north or south, there was not one yal thought, nor In their descendants. He prayed that the curse of partisan poll- tics might be obliterated, and that Ameri- ned together against this com- e to patriotism, morality and liberty. At the conclusion of Mr. Butterworth's address Mr. Charles B. Hanford of Wash- ington recited Drak ‘American Flag.” Judge Alphonso Hart, who next spoke, said that July 4th was the greatest day in his calendar, for on that day he was born, some time after the Declaration of Inde- pendence. Although he did not, at that early period of his life, join in the speech- making, he felt patriotic enough to shout, as he had done ever since when that day came around. He did not despair of the future of the country. A spirit was being aroused that would meet and deal with the crises of which his friend Major Butter- worth had spoken, and dispose of it in the same decisive way that it had done with British tyranny and the eyils of slavery, Ex-Mayor Thomas R. Martin took the ground that in the education of the young in the schools, and the constant inculcation of the spirit cf loyalty gua independence by the parents at home, ey the gig He of the nations ‘To the mother at the fire- side was largely Intrusted the destiny of our free institutions, ir, Marion Dorian, who was next Intro- duced, said the previous speakers had ‘so thoroughly gleaned the patriotic field that he was left with little to say. He wished to arouse his hearers to a sense of the duty they owed to the institutions which cared for the education of the young. Patriotism should be taught as a sacred duty. As a people we had first won our place the nations by battling for our Politica} and religious rights. By oun widespread Hgence we had won the world’s admirati on industrial lines. We must not, thro’ a fancied security In the possession of m tal liberty, allow our chief source of grea! ness to be undermined. No foreign should fly above us. Old Glory was enough to cover us all. The people wel the source of all greatness and power, no foreign potentate, political, religious otherwise, should be allowed, through thy emissaries, to undermine or divide the legiance of our youth. Major J. W. Blackburn prefaced his ing of the Declaration of Independence the remark that after the feast of ence by ism he felt that he was dishing out soup instead of dessert. However, the much- talked about but seldom read document could not be read too often at this crisis in our national affairs, At the conclusion of the reading Mr, B. H. Warner was called for, and in his chaf- acteristic vein said that in speaking of patriotism one must not forget local pa- triotism. This community was giving an object lesson today that was far reachii In the right direction, and which would outlast many who were participants. behalf of the citizens he wished to th: the orators from abroad, as well at-home, for their stirring words. The failing rain terminated the exerct: in the grove, but in spite of the rain abou $300 worth of fine fireworks were enjoyed in the*evening. —__ ROCK ENON SPRINGS, as th The Fourth Was Appropriately Cele- brated at This Attractive Resorts Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
