CHINAMEN CELEBRATE.
The Laundrymen Take Part In the
General Noise Making.

II anybody enjoyed the Fourth Of July 1t was
the Chinese laundrymen. They were very quiet
during the early part of the day, but when the
dusk began to gather they appeared, Ike Nc
Ginty, dressed in their best Sunday clothes and
loaded with fireworks. The street in front OF
many OF the leading laundries on Pennsylvania
avenue was crowded all the evening by q
curious throng of people, who found delight IN
watching the Cinnamon set of their hreworks
A series of grunts, groans and . ripping bar
Of talking music would greet each rocket az 1t
Glove its way through space, and when it burst,
hundreds Of feet in the air, the Cinnamon went
into rap.ures The fireworks set off by them
were fine than the average kind. The crackers
sounded louder and the rockets went higher
and burst pretter.
good deal of merriment was caused about
half-past o'clock when Zone Lung" came
sailing by the ex-Chinese gambling house on
AZ street between Missouri avenue and Penn
sylvania avenue on a tricycle.. As he arrived in

consultation among the Cinnamon collected
on the porch went on. which sounded some-
thing like this: Xxi ko, SO Ia DO yak me to 20
far, see la, bling bung." Then the fun COM
menced. One Lung came back, thoroughly
unconscious OF any impending catastrophe.

BURNED TO DEATH.
A Little One Whose Celebration Had q
Fatal Ending.

There was only one fatal accident yesterday
and the circumstances attending it made il a
particularly sad one. May Van Alstine, the
fve-year-old daughter of Mrs. Mary Van Al
slime of No. 4I0 9th street northwest. was the
one who lost her life. The little child was
playing on the back porch about 10 o'clock
yesterday morning and, like other children,
she wanted to celebrate the day. She was
playing with matches. although her moIner
supposed she was in the house playing with
her dolls. Exactly how the accident happened
will probably never be known. but those in
the house were attracted to the child by her
loud cries and when reached her clothing was
a mass of flames. The flames were soon
smothered but not before the little sufferer
had been burned almost beyond recognition.
DR.. Koipinski, who was called in, saw at u
glance that all that could be done was to re-
lieve the suffering Of the little one and this he
succeeded in doing. About O'Clock the child.
who had so terribly suffered. seemed free rom
pain and cow ersed with her mother for al out
ten minutes and then death relieved her. The
deceased was the only child of Mrs. Van Al
slime, who was completely Frustrated by the
sad occurrence. The funeral will take place
from the house tomorrow afternoon.

A POLICEMAN'S LESSON.
He Must Not Use His Club on q Pris-
oner Behind the Bars.

Policeman Sullivan Of the eighth precinct
WAS given some good sound legal advice by
Judge Miller this morning. The policeman
had a young man named Charles Woods before
the court charged with assaulting a colored
woman named BERTHE Cook, and also with as
saulting the officer. Woods, who is acquainted
with the woman, was under the influence Of
liquor yesterday and he cut her with knife
On the way to the station Woods
assaulted the officer. After the prisoner had
been locked up he struck the officer in the face
and the latter returned the blow, blackening
the prisoners eyes,
Judge Miller told the officer that he was
astonished that the lieutenant of the precinct
permitted any such thing in the station. The
judge said that profane epithets ON the part OF
intoxicated people were not to be resented by
blow. nor HAD the officer any right to
strike the prisoner. who was behind the
bars and wholly in his power. Had the blow
been dealt on the public street the officer
would have had the right to overpower the
prisoner, but after the prisoner was behind the
bars the officers duty was finished.
The prisoner was given ninety days for cut
ting the woman and was fined IS for resisting
the officer ON the street.

STORM ON LAKE MICHIGAN.
The Big Inland Sea Swept by a Fierce
Gale.

One Of the fercest gales that ever swept over
Lake Michigan began Thursday night and con-
tiuued yesterday. Shipping has been wrecked
and good deal of damage caused. Thursday
evening a number of vessels left Chicago har-
Dor despite the indications of a storm. When
the tempest broke all of these put back and
attempted to gain the shelter of the break
water. Some were successful, while others
were forced to drop anchor and try to ride out
the storm. The schooner Gladiator capsized
and her commander, Capt Torton, was drowned.
The crew WAS rescued by the life-ssving crew
of Evanston.
The steamer City of Chicago, with 1000 pas
sengers aboard, left Chicago a few hours before
the storm began for Grand Haven She was
Is miles on her course when her captain found
1t necessary to put her about and run for
Chicago. After terrific experience in the
heavy sea, rolling and punging and ut times
shipping great quantities of water, she finally
reacher her dock without accident.
The schooner Naiad was caught the gale
several miles out to sea, and after hard
struggle brought up just outside the break
water, where number of vessels were
anchored The Naiad WAS suffering badly from
her encounter with the wind and waves She
had lost a man, Harry Berkeley, and her for
ward rigging was carried away. She dropped
anchor, but the soft bottom would not hold ii,
and the vessel dashed into the schooners Sur
prise and White Cloud. These vessels had
barely resisted the force of the sea, and when
the Naiau struck them they dragged their
anchors. The three were subsequently brought
into port 10y tugs. All the vessels were badly
damaged. The propeller Wissahickon and
number of other staunch vessels were also more
or less damaged by the storm.

All Girls Should Row.

From the Ladies' Home journal.
Young women should conquer the timidity
that they feel the moment they set foot in a
rowboat A young man of the right sort has D
patience with the want Of confidence women
have In themselves and in his care for them
Bear in mind, courage is quality not to be
despised and can be worn becomingly by any
girl. 1t will come TO you and perchance has,
as 1t does to all women in some time of great
emergency, and yet you are here afraid of that
which an Ida Lewis has mastered when at its
worst and which, if once understood, would
give you pleasure and greater bodily strength
Some good oarsman will show you how to sit
in a boat and how to row with one oar and then
with two. He will teach you the strokes and
other matters necessary to be acquired. Enjoy
your rowing as you would your bath or your
breakfast. because it is good for the body and
helps, as does all physical exercise, to prolong
life. Swimming, girls take to even better than
boys and are much more graceful, and every
girl should, if possible, understand this most
useful of paStimes.

A BOY FOR A TARGET.
Walter Hawkins Shoots Frank Jack
sOn-Both Are COlored Boys.

Walter Hawkins, fourteen-yesr-oldc olored
boy was in the Police Court today charged
with the shooting of another colored boy
named Frank Jackson, but, as the latter was
not able to appear, the case was continued.
The boys both live in an alley near AZ and X
streets southwest and they have been on bad
terms for some time past. Jackson, so Haw-
kins says, has been throwing stores at him and
he warned him that he would get in trouble if
he did not desist. Thursday, it is claimed.
Hawkins threatened to shoot Jackson, but the
latter thought it was only an
idle boast and paid no attention to it.
Hawkins was on his back shed yesterday cele-
brating with pistol and Jackson it is alleged
came along and tossed a stone up at him.
That fingered Hawkins and he shot OF Jackson.
The bullet entered Jackson's left side and
came out through the thigh. The wounded
boy was carried into his mothers house. where
he was attended by physician, and Hawkins
was arrested by Policeman Sanford. The
wound is not dangerous one.
