posed that he sat on the pavement to light the
match. He succeeded and set fire to his
dress, which was q mass Of flames when d.
Nelson, the druggist, ran for . mail bag
to wrap around the child and
extinguish the blaze, but before he succeeded
some one had thrown Q bucket Of water on the
frantic child, and with subsequent efforts had
succeeded in putting out the fire.
The terribly burned child was taken into IL
parents house, No. 1915 9Th street, where Drug
gist Nelson relieved it's suierings until the ar
rival Of DR.. Rozier Middleton, Who took charge
Of the patient.

THE FOURTH AT GLEN ECHO.
An Immense Attendance and Interesting
Exercises.


Exercises.
Yesterdays celebration of the Fourth was
one OF the greatest occasions that Glen Echo.
with all its remarkable history. has known.
Early in the morning people began TO assemble.
and over 1000 people were present at the
unique and artistic entertainment that the
Messrs. Baltzley provided There was fome-
thing of interest going on in the big amphi-
theater from till $50 p. m. But during
the intermissions the people found
time to enjoy the sylvan delights that
the place affords. The improvements that
have been made in the wav of building we're OBJ
jects of general interest and admiration. The
standard Of entertainment in the amphitheatcr
has hitherto been very high and Yesterday wit
messed no departure from this rule. IL was

popularity.
This is based on no considerations OF local
pride or personal esteem. but on their artistic
merits. Mrs. Louie Yescilius Sheldon aad Mis-
Eva Augusta Yescilius and Prot. John T. law
renee, organist, musicians whose high re-
pute was fully explained by their performances
yesterday. Encores were repeatedly demanded,
and with an emphasis which made compliance
the only course.
The program was in every wav an artistic
treat and the patriotic aspect OF the occasion
was brought out strongly and gracefully. The
program opened with Haydn's ''1he Heavens
Are Telling, by the Chautauqua chorus, the
soloists being Miss c. NJ Howes, soprano: Mr.
Glen Medairy. tenor. and MIR. G. F. Goodchild.

played the same happy faculty of stepping from
the classical Composition to the popular melody,
and it was throughout in which artistic dignity
was maintained without any sacrifice of enjoy
ment. Mr.. Hanford reci.ed The Star Spang'ed
Banner" "Marmion and Douglas and selec-
tions from Shakespeare, and in every instance
commanded the enthusiastic appreciation of his
hearers. The recitations of 1.-The Declaration of
Independence" and Columbia, the Gem of the
Ocean," by Marie A. n. Pollard, were timely
features and were greatly enjoyed.
The organ solos by Prof. John P. Lawrence
were calculated to sustain that gentleman's rep
utation for proficiency in his art The pro-
gram reflected the greatest credit on Prof.
Mori, who arranged and conducted il. There
was not break in the enjoyment of the day.
The Glen Echo railway, notwithstanding the
enormous traffic, ran without the slightest in
terruption, and the provisions for comfort and
enjoyment at the Chautauqua grounds were
fully adequate to the occasion

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
TO FE NEE IN TIE CANAL.

TO FENCE IN THE CANAL
A great many people have been drowned dur
ing the past five years in the James Creek
canal owing to its unguarded position Some
time ago the Commissioners determined 10 look
into the matter ana provide means to lessen the
liability of accident. Accordingly a committee
composed of the superintendent of sewers, the
superintendent OF streets and the superintend-
ent Of lamps was appointed to examine into
and report upon the best means Of protection.
Today the committee submitted its report, in
which it is recommended that a close
board fence seven feet in height
be erected along the canal, with gates at such
points to accommodate the lessees of spaces
along the canal They say, further, that no
special lighting Of the canal is necessary if this
fence be constructed, the cost of which would
amount to O., 430 and the length $3.50 feet
Capt. Lusk in forwarding this report says he
believes that at least thousand feet more Of
fencing Is required and that an appropriation
Of g. 600 should be asked for to fence the canal.
As there lie no appropriation out OF which this
could be built the matter will have to be con-
gidered when the new estimates are made.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Commissioners this afternoon granted
Assistant Fire Chief Louis P. Lowe a leave Of
absence for thirty days. 1t viii be remem-
bered that Assistant Chief Lowe was severely
cut about the face at q recent fire on 9TH street.
He il now confined 10 his home by nervous
prostr.tion. During his absence Foreman
John Sherman Of truck B will oct in his stead.

ocratic policy of "tarif for revenue only" was
taken up, and Mr.. Berry addressed the Senate
upon 1t. The first whereas" Of the preamble,
reciting that never were laborers 30 prosperous
and well paid, Mr.. Berry declared to
be conspicuously contrary TO the facts
and to be proof of desperate effort to prop 3
falling cause. In contradiction Of that
whereas" he sent to the clerks desk and had
read kilograms on the subject Of the strike at
Carnegie's Homestead works.
He cited figures to prove that the republican
party believed in high taxes and extravagant
appropriations, while the democratic party be-
heved in levying taxes for revenue only and In
practicing economy where il was possible to do
SO. The Issue of the present campaign, how
ever, which rose high and far
above all other issues, was the force bill. to
which the Minneapolis convention and its can
didate for President were fully committed.
