ORDER FOR OLDGLoIRYSDA,.,Y'
Commissioners Earn the ;Hahdits of thu
Young Patriots,
The Board Decides That the Bows NAV
Explode Fireworks ON the
.r2-
Streets Fourth OF DULY. )

Rejoicing will burst from the throat OF
every patriotic American boy when he
reads that'the District Commissioners have
notified the chief Of, police fhat fireworks
VIII be allowed to be hcharged on the
glorious Fourth. ,iit = AL. ~ rat l;J
For several days those Merchants of the
city who deal In fireworks have been agi-
tating TBS, question WhetheE1 or, not. the
Commissioners will permit the firing of
fireworks ,on the Fourth OF Atly. The in
quiries have been followed by applications
for permits to sell. fireworks, for 1t is
provision Of law that no merchant shall
sell explosives. without FIRST obtaining a
permit from the chief OF. police. '.-r'i'.
This morning Major Moore called the at
tention of the Commissioners to the mat
ter and asked for ruling. Commissioner
wight, who, by the way. is a Son of the
Revolution, felt his blood rise several de.
grees when the suggestion Of stopping the
boys from celebrating was. presented to
him. No. sir; he believed in allowing
Young America to let loose all the en-
. .nusiasm the day suggested. and promptly
said so. But one Commissioner does not
pass an order, as was evidenced last year
when this same question came up. At that
time one of the Commissioners was in
favor OF allowing the boys. to go ahead.
but majority said no, and for quite
time it looked as, If it ..woAAlIl be a quiet
Fourth. But public opinion prevailed and
ally the obnoxious order was rescinded
and the boys were happy.
There viii be no doubt about 1t this year.
No guessing what the Commissioners are
going to do. No order. that will require
public opinion to revoke. The Commits
sioners have spoken, and by this time to-
morrow every boy and girl in Washington
will know that they will be allowed to
celebrate the Fourth this year in the good
old-fashioned way.
AS soon as Major Moore had laid the
facts before Commissioner Wight, the lat
ter suggested an immediate conference
with Commissioner Black. Commissioner
Ross is out of the city. but every one, knew
how he would vote on the question So
they repaired to the office of the Engineer
Commissioner and talked the matter over.
He was as prompt in his decision as Com
missioner Wight. Yes, indeed. he was In
favor of allowing the boys to celebrate,
but thought 1t should be confined to the
streets ard avenues. and that no explosions
OF fireworks hould be permitted either In
the back yards or alleys, This amend
ment met with the hearty approval of the
other Commissioner, and It Immediately
became an order. the chief of police being
notified that the force must not interfere
with the boys in their celebration. -

There was a man on the police force sew

idea about time. He was a great talker

should play more prominent part in his
tory than any general of the late war One
night several Of the officers engaged him
In conversation, while one of their number
sat to one side with paper and pencil. The
conversation lasted an hour, and the secre-
tary OF the party had figured that the Off
Ger was exactly four hundred and one years

he would have made himself had the con-
Versation lasted another hour.

Picacho they picked up an old Arizona
prospector named Anderson. The three
arrived at Salton May II. From there
they set out for the San Jacinto mountains.
Last Thursday Dietrich went on ahead of
his companions, but they failed to follow.
He went back and found their trail which

followed the trail for thirty miles and then
turning back made his way nearly dead to
Banner. A searching party will go out
from here.
