The boom of the giant firecracker {s being followed by the clang of the am- bulance bell all over New York. The Sccldents of the day began with the dawn and will not be over until the Jast rocket has been shot and the stick 4s on the ground. From the Bronx to Coney Island the Surgeons in the hospitals had a busy day, and expect a busy night. The work of attending the victims of the giant cracker, the dlank cartridge pistol and the stray bullet fired by some person unknown began almost with the day and has been kept up, Several of the. accidents have resulted in wounds that will prove mortal, while fortunately tn the mafority of cases the #mall boy victim will get off with the; oss of a finger or two and a badly goarred face, where the powder has been burned deep into the flesh. ‘The fires of the day have been nu- merous, but not large. To-night ‘yhen the rockets are set off and the combina- tion made by the lace curtain and the ball from the roman candle {is put into effect they are expected to be more numerous. Among the serious accidents of the day was the probable mortal wounding of a | girl in Brooklyn by a stray bullet, and the loss of an oye by a policeman. Ethel Spratzbach. twelve years old, of No. 30 Knickerbocker avenue, Brook- lyn, while walking along the street near home whh her father to-day w struck in the left breast by a stray bullet and fatally injured. The girl and her father were ap- proaching a number of boys who were shooting pletols and small rifles, when @uddenly the child recled and fell to the street. As there was no mark or suggestion of injury on her clothes @ policeman sent for an ambulance, Dr. Dunning. of the German Hospital, upon examining the little girl found a tiny mark on the left breast In the region of the heart. He found that a amail) bullet had entered the child's lung in such a way that It may be impossible to probe for it. ®he was taken to the hospital, where @ further examination showed that there 4s ttle hope of her recovery.

Bryan and ex-Senat Hill had ac- knowledged thelr invitations with {o- teresting contributions to the poiitical| \spread. And Senator Joseph Bailey, of Texas, and former Benator Charles F. Towne, two of the foremost exponent: of the free allver Democracy, had been | captured as the orators of the day. The only occasion of regret was that Judge Alton B. Parker, just now the most in- teresting of presidential possibilities, had sent only a formal reply to his in- vitation, With a mediey of national airs by Bayne’s Gixty-ninth Regiment Band the exercises were formally opened at 10 o'clock. Chief Sachem Judge James A. O'Gorman, Sachems Charles F. Murphy. Randolph Guggenheimer, Patrick Kee- nan, Louts F.

Franklin Bartlett read ‘the Declaration of Independence. Then followed the reading of a number of in- teresting letters from distinguished in- Vited guests and absent members of the Sootety, Cleveland’s Letter Cordially Received. The announcement by Secretary Thomas F. Smith of a letter trom Grover Cleveland was greeted with pro- longed applause. Mr. Cleveland's letter expressed the hope “that the time will never come when there will ibe an abatement in the zeal and enthusiasm of this day's cel ."" and closed with an exhortation to Tammany “to the people well, by contributing wer and influence to the cause good government.’ Ex-Senator David B.

The “Long Talk,’’ Mr. Towne sald in part: “This shall be my text, a plea for the old Americanism. 1 shall remind you that this nation was founded upon prin- clples which, however familiar to yor were absolutely novel when proclaimed. I shall maintain that in the praotical working out of those principles Ile our manifest duty and glory; that under the control of forces now dominant in our politics we are falsifying our principios, neglecting our duty and imperilling our glory; that disaster may be averted and the public welfare subserved only by a rigorous application of our historic and accepted doctrines to ‘enent economic industrial and political problems: that the Democratic party, meeting at once obligation and opportunity, should, taxe {ts stand upon the ‘ancient ways’ and call upon the Americ storo the faith of the As Lincoln Saw It. “Abraham Lincoln sald that the Dec- jlaration of Independence was not to much story a6 prophecy; not a statement of what has been or was as of what ought to te: that it set up an Ideal standard toward which it was our purpose and duty to press with ever close and clover realization ‘ “guch @ purpose has indeed antmatea | this nation until very recently. 1 can- not yet persuade myself, thai it has consciously abdicated that purpose.

The President was onthuslasticall,, cheered as he land- ed from the Syiph an dthousands of local citizens and visitors joined in the ovation as he was driven to the speak- ers’ stand, where he delivered the prin- cipal address of the day. He was ac- companied by the members of his family and Secretary and Mrs, Loeb. His avstress, which did not ouch on State affairs, but was purely patriotic, was froquontly interrupted by applause, ‘The residents have thousands of visi- tors aiding them in the big time, great and all parts of Long Island, while many from New England dave crossed the Sound and joined in. While all share the patriotic sentl- ments of the day, the big majority are here to greet President Roosevelt, who is the chief guest. The President feels thoroughly at home on Long Ieland, and Huntington's celebration appeals stronaly to ‘aim. He ts, of course, the central fieure in the town, and his speech is naturally the most important of the day. The President left Sagamore Hill shortly after 1 o'clock on the Sylph for Huntington, A number of extra Secret Service men had been detailed from hington and New York to guard the President upon his trip. While no dan- ger was antichpated, the Secret Service Bureau deemed it wise to take all neces- Bary precautions. A close watch was maintaned by thi Secret Service men over 100 or more Italians who are employed in the Instal- lation of a water works system. These amen had demonstrated their patriotic regard for the President by turning out || Yast Saturday when he arrived at Oyster Bay and cheering him lustily, but the Secret Service men took no chances.

When Restored to Consciousness Old Negro’ Pats Instrument, Saying “You'se De Bes’ Frien’ | Got an’ | Couldn't Leave You." “Uncle Mose" Jackson risked his life early to-day to save the “ole banjo’ that has cheered his life since he left the sunny South years and yearn ago. Firemen found him unconscious on tne top floor of the burning building at No. %3 West Thirtieth street. the precious instrument clasped in his hands. The head was warped by the heat and the strings were broken. Jackson 1s an aged negro, and when he tm not caring for the puilding where he is employed as janitor he thrums on the quaint old banjo of x jetiod long passed. Every child in the neighbor- hood loves “Uncle Mose” and his weird old plantation melodies. Fireman Dawid Verdenhalven saw the blaze when sitting in front of the en- Kine-house just across the street. He aroused the other members of the com- pany, and firemen rushed Intq the bulld- Ing to arouse the twenty families. When the house was filled with smoke the firemen saw a woman beckoning from the roof of the adjoining build- ing, She was clothed only in her night dress and she clasped a small baby to her breast. A blanket was taken to her and a fireman carried her to a neighbor's house, She was Mrs, Hattie Welmer, and had climbed |from the fifth oor of the burning house to the roof. “Where is Uncle Mose?’ she gasped when taken to a place of safety. The aged negro janitor had been for- gotten in the excitement, but he was nowhere to be seen, “He atarted to the roof, but went back atter his banjo,” Mrs. Weimer contin- ued. ‘He must be in the house.” Two firemen started up through the amoke-filled hallways, and after’ much difficulty reached the top floor. Break- ing open the door, they found the old man on the floor.’ He had reached his but was overcome by the emoke before he could escape. ‘The firemen carried him to the street, where he was attended by a physician: He patted the banjo affectionately whe he was revived, “You'se de bes’ frien’ got,’ he sald with a chuckle, ‘and your ‘ole Uncle Mose wasn't goin’ ter leave yer to get burnt up."
