OLD GLORY PROUDLY WAVED.
Patriotic Observance by Citizens and
School Children of the Day on Which
the Flag Was AdOCtcd

What will probably become a national custom
OF yearly occurrence was inaugurated yesterday
in the nature of general celebration Of tue day
upon which the national flag of the United States
was originally adopted.
All of the teachers in the various schools re-
ceived previous Instructions TO observe h day
rs far as il was In their power, and tins they
did The fronts of nearl? all the buildings
were decorateCfw with the stars and stripes, and
the flags foated all day long from the iagstaiis.
Many of the pupils and esch Of the teachers
wore n small flag, which Indicated that the love
for the emblem of freedom had been inst. led in
their hearts At the Normal School an appro-
pirate programme given to impress the
minds of the young Amer with the duty
thar they owe TO the red, white, and blue. The
four lower grades were present, and patriotic
songs and recitetions made up programme
that was especially fitting to the event. Miss
Goding, of the school, conducted the exercises
When the graded and high schools we're closed
for the day the greater number OF students
emerged displaying or nuttering dminutit
piece of the pride Of the nation Not only in tho
schools were the colors exhibited and spoken of
in reverence but all OF the streets and
thoroughfares of tine city. Pennsylvania avenue
merchants covered their large business houses
with flags of all nations, but with the red, white,
and blue predominating.
The stores ali along street had immense
rosettes suspended from the windows and large
flags waving from the tops In the residence
Generally the homes were adorned with only
one huge flag hung over the doorway. but here
and there could be seen houses where additional
effort had been taken to express their love of
american independence. the fronts being al
most hidden by the futterinc flag and long
strips OF bunting.
This custom was started by the local branch
of the Sons Of the Revolution, and the lavish dis
play of the Stars and Stripes Of yesterday win,
as was anticipated, evidently bring June Il into
the list Of nationnl holidays and festivities.

THE COAL SUPPLY,

Unless a speedy settlement of the troubles
between the miners and mine owners. which
have now extended over several weeks, be
effected, there is grave danger of a coal fam
inc long before next Winter sets in. The
strikes were hardly a week old before an
nouncements were made that the supply Sas
running short In some few localities this
may be true: but as similar statements had
been made in many former difficulties they
were received with some grains of allowance.
Now, however, it appears as if the visible
supply is about exhausted, and therefore the
operators have no longer a valid excuse for
prolonging the strikes and lockouts. They
can make large sums by settling with the
workmen without a moments delay, and they
ought to do so.
As showing the immense consumption of
coal it may be said that Washington city re-
quires 500 900 tons of anthracite and &c, 900
tons OF bituminous coal annually; New York,
5000 900 tons of anthracite and /, 800 0Oo btu
minous; Chicago, 1,500, 900 tons of anthracite
and 1000, 900 tons of bituminous; Philadel-
phia, 5000. 900 anthracite and 1000. 900 btu
minous, and so on.
The Winter supply is accumulated during
the Summer. and If, through the strike, this is
not done. next Winter will see extravagantly
high retail prices for this necessity OF life,
with corresponding burden upon the poor,
and privation to many.

SCHOOL CHILDREN THREATENED.
Exposed in kindergarten School to
Case OF Scarlet Fever.

Exposed in a kindergarten School to
Case OF Scarlet Fever.
The kindergarten school which is run as an
annex to the German Lutheran church at the
corner of Fourth and Z streets northwest has
been closed since Tuesday. 1t was shut up by
the health officers, owing to the fear of con-
tagion due to case of scarlet fever in the
family of F. W. Bagelman, janitor Of the
school, who lives next 20 the school building.
The child attacked is Mr.. Bageimans
daughter Mary, 21s years old. Fortunately
for the pupils in the German school, the
child was too young to associate with them.
and so there is less fear Of contagion than
was at first conjectured. The school has
about forty scholars all OF whom are small
children. The instructor is Prof. C. Hup-
precht.
= Last Friday the child was taken i'll. The
father did not attribute it to anything serious
and simple house remedies were applied. The
child grew worse and finally on Tuesday med
icai aid was summoned.
DR.. S. L. Hannon. a physician to the poor.
with his Office at Second and d streets. re-
sponded to the call. He diagnosed the case
as scarlet fever and SO reported it 10 the
health officer. Inspectors immedia5ely visited
the house aud proner sanitary disiniectants
were used to minimize the danger The
school was ordered closed and the pupils sent
home.
Since that time the health authoritis. nave
paid periodical visits to the house. The
baby is rapidly recovering. and no new eases
are reported among the other children who
attended school,
DR.. Hammett, the health officer of the Dis
trict, was not in the city last night. but his
son. who was attending to his work. said that
the type was mild and that speedy recovery
was looked for.
Mrs. Bagelman, the baby's mother, was
taken sick yesterday, bu. it is not believed
that she has scarlet fever, or if she has, it is
very light touch.
