Celebrating the Fourth.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The order prohibiting the use Of fire.
works on the streets on the Fourth of July
will cause considerable Joss to dealers who
laid in a supply before the order was is
sued. 1t will also be a great disappoint-
ment to young America. The crowds of
children who will meet at the distant
places set apart for fireworks will in many
cases be removed from parental control,
and there will probably be more accidents
than heretofore.
AS compromise your correspondent sug-
gests that the use of cannon crackers
skyrockets and other really dangerous ex-
plosives Qncluding all kinds of pistols) be
prohibited on the streets at all times; and
that ordinary small firecrackers, Roman
candles and other such fireworks be al
lowed on the streets on the Fourth of July
only from 6 a. m. to II pm, and prohibited
at all other hours
me regulation prohibiting fireworks al
together could not be enforced with ten
times the present police force, and the re-
sui VIII simply be that law-abiding peopI.
Mlli opey the law, while the "toughs'' will
make DAY and night hideous as heretofore
Hlve the boys chance to work off their
CIV, en,nuslasm In reasonable manner at suit
apie hours, and near their homes.

EXCURSIONS.

The annual excursion Of the bank clerks
will be given tomorrow evening to Mar
shall Hall on the steamer Manchester Once
each year these necessary adjuncts to the
banking system take a day off, or rather a
night off, and go away out of the city and
leave behind them the thought of business
and daily toll. The excursions of the bank
clerks are always enjoyable ami there Is
no indication that the one this Jear will
fall below the high standard set by it's pre-
decessors. The Manchester leaves at $50
ana will stay long enough at the Hall to
give all chance to enjoy the many
amusements there and to dance 10 the
strains Of the excellent orchestra in the
pavilion.
The employees of the public buildings and
grounds will give their annual family ex-
cursion tomorrow at River View. Besides
the regular attractions of the place, there
will be special attractions for children, and
handsome prizes will BE- given for fancy
dancing and other sports, in which ladies
and children will participate. Children un-
der eight years of age will be admitted
free. The Pentz will make the regular
trips.
The popularity of those Indian Head
trips on the steamer Manchester was mani
tested In very practical and substantial
way last Friday and Saturday evenings.
The steamer was crowded and large ma
jority of those on board were young peo-
pie. Many of them preferred good music,
a good floor and good partner in waltz
to the sail on to Indian Head, consequently
a majority remained at the Hall until the
return of the boat from Indian Head at
9:30 1t isn't often that jollier party goes
to Marshall Hall than the one that went
down last Friday evening. These trips to
Indian Head are always enjoyable, but
they are particularly so now that there is
moonlight. The Manchester will make this
run again Friday and Saturday evenings,
and every Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evening during July, August and Septem-
Der at same hour, $50.
