MEETINGS, EXCURSIONS, ETC

A return to the old-time patriotic observance
Of the day will mark the celebration Of the
Fourth Of July in this city next Tuesday. OF
course the modern mode Of celebration will not
be neglected and there will be picnics and ex-
cursions and family gatherings and all the
| other familiar features Of the national holiday.
The Juvenile portion Of the population will not
neglect the fascinating frecracker and, a.
| usual, the older people will be on hand to see
| that the little ones succeed in their efforts to
make noise. OF course they have no personal
interest in fireworks except the enjoyment Of
the children, as, like the circus, such things
have no charms for the grown-ups. In this
spirit Of self-sacrifce many . digniHed citizen
| will on the Fourth fire of whole packs Of
frecrackers and at night illumine the
| sky with the rudy glare Of the
or other the children Of late years have not
been interested in that style Of celebration
which takes the form Of listening to the reading
Of the Declaration Of Independence and the
delivery Of patriotic speeches, and Of course the
older people could not indulge their preference,
| which presumably would be in the line Of the
older form Of celebration. However, this year
there is to be a return to the fashions OF former
days, and as might be expected the revival has
aroused good deal Of interest.
Last year those patriotic citizens who be-
| long to the Sons Of the Revolution and to the
Daughters Of the Revolution celebrated the
day by public meeting This year arrange
ments have been made for a celebration which
| Is practical and ought to arouse the interest
and cooperation Of every one, whether young
| or old. who believes in this great country and
in the principles which it represents. The men,
| bers Of the organization mentioned above and
citizens generally will assemble in Epiphany
Church. The hour Of $50 has been fixed upon,
| Tor 1t is the purpose TO have the celebration
| over before the heat of the day. Everything
| will be brief. Religious services will be con-
Quoted in the church by the rector, Rev. Dr..
Mckim, which will be over in half an hour.
THE MEETING AT THE MONUMENT.
Then the societies and the citizens under the
escort Of the Washington Light Infantry will
march down 18th street TO the monument.
where, beneath the shadow Of this mighty pile
which commentaries the patriotic character of
| the first citizen seats have been arranged. The
grassy slopes will be protected from the sun by
the ample shadow OF the great shaft. While
| the procession is moving to the grounds q
salute of fifteen guns will be fred by Capt.
Fosbergs battery.
A special invitation has been extended to the
| children Of the public schools to assemble at
the monument grounds at 10 o'clock. A COM
| mittee has been designated to escort
| the children to seats which will be
reserved for them. Leaflets containing the
patriotic hymns will be distributed The
Marine Band will play "The Star Spangled
| Banner" and the flag will be given the hand
kerchief salute Mr.. Barry Bulkley will read
| the Declaration of Independence and Mr.. F.
W. Hackett Of the Washington bar and ex-Com-
missioner Douglass will deliver addresses. The
orators will not attempt to give the history of
the country from the beginning down to the
present time or do anything else that will in
volve large areas of time. The entire program
at the monument will occupy only an hour. and
| then those that attended will have ample time
to carry out any plans they may have formed
for passing the day.

promises to throw in the shade all previous

the late Col Corkhill. who was at one time

that f1ourishing community, as the houses have
been built nearly up to the edge Of the grounds.
As may be seen from the program Of the day.
| which has been prepared by an enterprisinR
committee Of citizens, there is going to be
plenty Of entertainment. and there is NO
danger OF any one spending a dull day. The
residents invite all who want to celebrate in the
old style to como out and join the good people
Of Mount Pleasant and vicinity in making the
occasion a success.
The ball match is going to be an int resting
exhibit Of the national game, and as Nich

about all the details being in accordance with
