The resolution adopted the 28th of last month at the first meeting-of the conven- tion of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the diocese of Washington, accepting the @@ DON'T STOP TOBACCO] COMMISSIONERS FIRM|GO (Continued from Firet Page.) PaCS SE ar ai eee ec fear ec EEE would be none, as sn accident would ve mere likely to happen on the street. Commissioner ‘Truesdell remarked that the reservation plan of the Commissioners’ was @ £004 one, if it succeeded in collecting in such places all the bad boys of the town. ‘They would be gotten off the streets at any rate. “Then what will become of the good lit- tle boys?” queried Mrs. Alexander. “Why, the good little boys will be looked after by their good parents.” Mrs. Smith asked the Commissioners if it would make any difference with them if she presented tomorrow morning a petition s:gned by thousands of children favoring a modification of the order. * Days of Petition Have Passed. Commissioner Ross replied that the days of petitions had passed. They used to be regarded as factors in nearly every case vntil a man up in New York state once signed a petition, the object of which he ‘\-as ignorant of. It finaliy turned out to be an order for his own execution. In conclusion Mrs. Smith asked Commis- sioner Truesdell if the Commissioners pro- pcsed to rigidly enforce the law. He said: “The law is plain. The police have been instructed to enforce it as rigidly as they can, aud it will be done. It is impossible to have a policeman before each door, but the potice will do their best.” An 0. U. A. M. Protest. Champion Council, No. 15, Jr. O. U. A. M., has adopted a preamble and resolu- tions In reference to the Commissioners’ fireworks order. They declare “That we add our respectful protest to the many others that have been submitted, through the press and otherwise, against the re- Striction ef the liberties and pleasures of our people which would be imposed upon them by the enforcement of the proposed order, not only as an unfair discrimina- ticn, and in a larger measure jeopardizing the life and limb of individuals and en- dangering the safety of property, but more especially that the policy of restriction, if entered upon and continued in subsequent years, would have a deterrent effect upon the growth and perpetuaticn of those no- ble sentiments of loyalty, patriotism, love of country and devotion to her grand free institutions, and would tend to obliterate the useful lessons of citizenship which should ever be inculcated and fostered in the hearts of American youth. And that we earnestly petition for a reconsid- eration of the order at the hands of the hcenorable Commissioners, and ask its with- drawal and a return to the time-honored custom which has so long been the means of keeping alive in the breasts of the American people the fires of patriotism and preserving to their memories the natal day of American independence.” A High School Boy's Views. J. L. M. writes to°The Star as follows: “Ever since the Commissioners made the ordering forbidding boys to celebrate the Fourth of July in the only way a boy cares to celebrate it I have been too mad to write what I think about it. I am cooled off some and want to say a few words. I am an American High School bey, and am not afraid of anybody, and as long as I am respectful nobody has any right to interfere with me. What kind of a Fourth of July do these Commissioners want to give us, anyhow? Do they sup- pose boys who respect themselves or their families will go off somewhere in the country and mix up with all kinds of low company? How would the Commission- ers like an order from the President to celebrate the Fourth of July with the prisoners of the workhouse? 1 wish somebody would ask President Cleveland to call off the Commissioners, but I suppose as Mr. Cleveland's time is most up i* wouldn’t do as much good as if Mr. McKinley or the man who will be nominated at Chicago would speak. See? My advice to the Commissioners is to earn their money by correcting some of the bad- ness here ia Washingtcn and let us boys alone. There's enough work for these men that would be to their credit if done. The other day the insurance people warned the Commissioners that there would be less danger if we used the streets for celebrat- ing the Fourth, and the last two years Major Moore recommended it. What's the matter with these Commissioners any- ? Have they any children? I hope not, for I would pity a boy whose father was mean enough to deprive him of fun on the greatest day in the year. My papa says a man who forgets how he felt when he was a boy is small potatoes, and I gtiess he's right. We will have our Fourth sure, no matter what the Commissioners say or think. The police are with us, and they say bad things of the Cemmissioners, and that they won't arrest a bcy unless he is doing something worse than shooting off firecrackers. One word more. We boys are not treated right in anything. We can’t Play ball even on an open lot; we can’t stand on a corner without being told to move on. And here comes the Commis- sioners with an order to sit in the house if we don’t care to pass the Fourth where no decent boy can go. Now, I tell you, we are getting mighty tired of this business.” Dangerous Places Selected. An observer thus arraigns the Commis- sioners: ° “Tho Commissicrers in their efforts to re- strict the celebration of the Fourth of July have not only disregarded the wishes of a very large majority of the residents of this city, but they have displayed almost crim- inal carelessness in their selection of reser- vations where the children may celebrate. I refer especially to the reservations set apart for the South Washington children. Reservation 113, between 7th and th streets, Maryland and Virginia avenues, is about the most dangerous place that could have been selected. It is bounded on the south by the Penncylvania railroad tracks —in fatt the railroad runs through the reservation. There are four or five tracks at this point, and trains are constantly passing. Many children living south of the reservation would reach it by way cf 8th street. There are no gates at that Street; there is not even a pathway over the tracks, and those who wish to reach the place of celebration by way of Sth street will have to stumble over the rail- road tracks to do so. After they reach the place of celebration there is nothing to Prevent them from getting on the tracks and in danger. The otier reservation set aside for South Washington children—at 4% street—is bourded on one side by_the railroad and on another side by the Met- Topolitan electric cars. Children going to this spot from the north will have to cross the railroad tracks. I have been told that about sixty trains a day pass through reservation 113. How many parents are willing to have their children spend the day on such a playground? If the Commis- sioners insist upon their nonsensical reg- ulation, why don’t they, at least, select safe places for the children. eee Sunday School Anniversary. The Sunday school of St. Augustine's Church, 15th and L streets northwest, held its thirtieth anniversary exercises Sunday in the basement of the church, and a large number of parents and friends of the chil- dren attending the school were present. Father Dougherty presided, and made the presentation of the premiums, assisted by Father Bishoff. A pleasing program was rendered, in which Miss Mason, Miss Grace Campbell, Miss Mazie Green, William Good- rich, Miss Carrie Young, Misses Butler, Foster, Wells and Booze and Miss Florence Talbot participated. Rosa Settlers received a”silver medal for bringing in the largest number of scholars during the year, and a gold medal was given to James Johnson for having the best standing among the boys of the school for punctuality, deportment and excellence in lessons, A gold medal was presented to Matilda Matthews for the same qualifications. Father Dougherty made an address before presenting the premiums, in which he complimented the school on its excellence during the past year. The first premiums were books, and these were dis- tributed as follows: Bernard Duval, Jones Taylor, George Thomas, Clarence Quander, Leo Cook, Rayntond Lucas, Charles Burch, Edward Dent, Henry Dent, Hugh Dent, Richard Hunt, Essie Bell, Sarah Thomas, Teresa Johnson, Verge Allen,Lizzie Fletcher, Annie Noble, Cora Gillem, Cornelia Quan- der, Bertha Jackson, Mary Noble, Carrie Younger, Etta Miles, Marie Wade, Eva Cole, Mary Taylor, Maud Whipps, Marie Thomas, Edna Sims, Blanch Owens, Ellea Ennis, Viola Cpates, Harrison Willis, Hillery Wheeler, Blanch Burns, Lottie Dodson, Martina Spriggs, Carrie ‘Stonall, Eugene |.
