New Sorts of PyrOtechnics Provided
for the Fourth.
New York Times

Dealers In fireworks say that about
twice as much powder will be burned this
year in the celebration Of Independence
Day as in ordinary celebrations OF the
Fourth. There are many novelties in
pyrotechnics. Rockets and Roman candles
are prepared In many new forms, which
are intended 10 enhance. the safety as
well as the beauty OF the discharge. A
great many candles are fitted with wood
en- handles. which In a measure precludeS
the changes Of receiving tho charge up
the coat sleeve in case there Is a blowout
at the wrong end. The form OF skyrocket
has been much improved upon. They are
made with large heads and short, douoIe
sticks. They are said to go very high,
and with spiral movement that should
be very effective. Then, there are groups
of rockets-five to twenty In Dunch-
tied together and ignitcd by Common
fuse to fly or simultaneously.
There have been more mines and tour
billions sold this year than ever Defore.
The mines make beautiful display OF
shooting stars and showers OF fiery rain,

A LONG MASQUERADE.
Nam Worked Unsupported for Years
as n Girl.
(New York Times. Sd.)

(New York Times, 3d)
There was establishment. CONSERVATION,
and Indignation among the working-girls
in Henry Wallner's hat-factory yesterday,
when they learned that Becky" Feingold,
whom they had worked and joked with
for seven years, was not girl at all, but
a "horrid' man.
"a man is bad enough at BEST" said one
of the factorygirls yesterday, but 10

Becky" is now plain Max Feingold.
Love caused Max to drop his disguise. He
fell in love with one of the girls, confided
to her his secret, and planned an elope-
ment. They disappeared about the same
time. and when next heard from were
man and wife.
Becky" found that he could more read
lily get employment in the hat-factories as
a girl than s man, and he assumed
the role. He was aided in this plan by
the fact that he had long hair, little hair
on his lips and chin, and feminine
looking face.
About eight years ago Feingod, dis
guised as a woman, applied for work at
the hat and eap-factory OF Simon Bro

ployed by several factories in that part
OF the city, and about six or seven years
ago was engaged, still as woman, by

street.
Everything went we'll there until
Becky" fell In love. But for this mascu-
lire weakness "Becky's" ruse would
never have been suspected, and, he could
have gone on making hats. He was so
successful at his work that the Wallners
made him forewoman. and they say he
was one of the best they ever had, and
would like to have him back. However,

In Memory of n Sweet Singer.
Eor the Disnatch.l

When the singers go forth 10 the choir.
Aad the anthems and praises arise.
We will think OF the spirit that's gone
40 the home OF its God in the skies.
And our hearts will go out 10 the dead.
And the voice OF her melody SOFT.
AS it fioated DER chancel and nave.
In the days when we heard II so OH
We will think o. her beautiful IRE,
As lily cut down In It's bloom
AS a stream with its ripples OF song.
And rose with its fragrant perfume.
But, alas. for the silvery notes.
That are silent and hushed Tor aye.
In the dark and the dusk OF the TOMB.
And its gloom. and the cold OF the eiay'

Though among them We do not see one,
We win think OF her songs and her smilcs.
Ere the sands OF her young life had run.
