FLAG DAY.
Observance in the Public schools
To-day.


Observance in the Public schools
To-day.
The observance of Flag Day in the pub
lie schools of the District today will
be marked by that intense patriotism to
which the events of the present war has
keyed up the feelings of ali, both young
and old.
No general program has been arranged.
but all the teachers have planned for
special exercises, to consist OF recitations
and the singing of national songs by the
children. At the Force and Southwest
schools more elaborate exercises will be
held, in which all the pupils will partici-
pate.
The red, white and blue emblem will
float from all the windows of the build
inGs, and the children will carry flags
galore.
Since the Inauguration of Flag Day in
the public schools. four years ago, at the
instance of several chapters of the Sons
of the Revolution, there has been an in
crease in the intensity of patriotism in
the minds OF the children, which this year
will burst forth greater than ever. The
war has given an impetus to the study of
geography in all the schools, and
maps of Cuba and the other scenes of ac-
ton are suspended on the walls of the
rooms These maps have been closely
studied daily by the pupils, and the prog
ress of the Army and Navy followed by
the teachers.
AS a result, patriotism without bounds
prevails, and the children now, more than
ever. understand the meaning and his
tory of the glorious red, white and blue.
But short sessions will be held in the
schools, and the Flag Day exercises will
begin at ! o'clock

Capt r. A. Vaughn, of the punkey
Leading Breeze" and F. NJ. Higdon, the
owner of the boat, met with a disagree

not soon forget yesterday afternoon. The

was, both got thorough "ducking."
Capt. Vaughn lives at Rock Point, and
he runs the Leading Breeze which is
a well-built oyster boat, for Mr.. Higdon.
Yesterday morning they sailed TO this city
to buy another boat TO be added TO the
feet of Mr.. Higdon. They spent consid-
cradle time in looking over several craft
which were offered them. but were not
able to agree upon any one boat
Shortly after O'Clock vaughn and Hig-
don clambered aboard>the Breeze" cast
off the hawser, hoisted the mainsail and
started back home. They We're forced 10

verse Zephyrs, and by o'clock they were

| Cling in the water.
Higdon cannot swim, and he was as

after about five minutes hard work. for

when, noting the plight of the unfortu-
nate men. Capt. Randall ordered a life

were objects of interest 10 the large party
! which was being taken to River View.
| They were in the water about five minutes
| after the boat sunk, during which time
| Vaughn kept Higdons head above the
water only with great difficulty.
The men were taken down the river
| and when the Pentz returned their story
was told to a Times reporter. They lost
most of their clothes and sum of money.
The Breeze" probably will be raised.
She is worth about $1,000.

A Practical Charity.

Emmons S. Smith. the proprietor of the
Boston Variety Store, has inaugurated a
most practical charity for the benefit OF
the District volunteers who are station
ed at Tampa, Fla. 1t Is a scheme worthy
of emulation by the other patriotic busi-
ness men in the city, and which, if fol-
lowed, will go far to furnishing our own
boys at the front with many of the COM
forts, luxuries and necessities of which
they are so greatly in need.
Mr.. Smith, as announced IN the adver-
tistng columns of The. Times, has decided
to contribute a portion of the gross sales
of his great business during yesterday,
today and tomorrow to the relief fund of
the soldiers of the District There is no
doubt that this will be snug amount and
will make splendid nucleus for District
fund. The scheme is so broad in its con-
ception that it gives an opportunity to ev-
cry patriotic resident of the District to
contribute his or her share and at the
same time get the full value of the money
expended, and 1T is hoped that each and
every one will avail themselves of this
splendid chance to help our own boys.

sic and dancing all day, and the chute and
the other attractions known to the people

mittee of G. A R. men will try and make
all who attend have a good time.

The Commission Merchants.

The question Of allowing the commission
merchants at Central Market to occupy a
portion Of the sidewalk for the purpose
Of exposing their goods for sale was dis
cussed by the District Commissioners yes
terday A number of complaints have
been made that the merchants obstruct
the sidewalks, rendering them almost i'm
passable for pedestrians. Commissioner
Ross is in favor of allowing the men as
licensed venders TO SO expose their goods
as not TO obstruct the sidewalks.
Commissioners Wight and Beach think
that conference with the commission
men is advisable before a settlement of
the question is made. The commission
men would, il is said prefer a return TO
the old system of no licenses, although
in that event, anyone desiring 10 be OBJ
noxious has ii Ia his power to have those
merchants, who at any time obstruct
the sidewalk, arrested and fined. Under
the present license system the mer-
chants pay twenty-five dollars for so
much space and some of them are in
clined to think this charge rather eX-
orbitant.
Unless an agreement is reached by the
commissioners, a conference with the
commission merchants will be held at
once.

NO DRINKS FoR SOLDIERS. !
saIoor keepers Must Not Sell Liquo

SaIooI keepers musf Not Sell Liquor
10 yoIunteers.
The sale of intoxicating drinks to sol
diers in the District of Columbia is to be
stopped by the police.
Instructions have been sent out by the
police department to cali the attention of
saloon keepers to the law on the subject,
and violators are to be prosecuted.
1t was soon after the breaking out of
the civil war. when Washington was fill
ed with soldiers, that Congress passed a
law, dated August 5, 1861, that made 1t
unlawful for anyone to sell or give any
spirituous or intoxicating drink to Ameri-
can soldiers This act has never been re-
pealed. 1t has been several times amend
ed, and is now directly applicable to
licensed saloon proprietors. For some
reason il has not been strictly enforced.
Recently, however, the numerous soldiers
in the city who have imbibed quite free
ly, called TO the mind of the District Com
missioners the statute on the subject. The
law is as follows:
Section 11S1. 1t shall not be lawful for
any person in the District TO sell give or
administer to any soldier or volunteer in
the service of the United States, or any
person wearing the uniform of such sol
der or volunteer, any spirituouS liquor or
Intoxicating drink; and any person Of
Tending against the provisions of this
section shall on conviction thereof, pay
a fine of $50 or in default of such pay
ment, be committed to the District Jail
for thirty days
Section 1852. Any person licensed to
sell spirituous liquors or intoxicating
drink within the District who shall suf-
fer or permit any soldier or volunteer
! in the service of the United States, or
any person wearing the uniform of such
soldier or volunteer. TO drink any spirit
uous liquor or intoxicating drink upon his
premises. shall be deemed guilty of the
I same offense mentioned in the preceding
section. and, upon conviction, shall be
punished accordingly.
Section 1883. Any person convicted
under the provisions of the two preced-
( ing sections shall forfeit his license to sell
spirituous liquors and Intoxicating
drink
II is understood in police circles that
this law is 20 be strictly enforced.

Sheridan at tho NIilliuer,s.

General Sheridan as he became elder
conquered his shyness. At the time OF
the commune he was in Paris with his
aid-de-camp. There was also stopping
at the same hotel q charming American
woman with whom he was slightly ac-
quainted. The prisoners had been liber-
ated and were rushing madly through
the streets. The order had also been
given that all windows and shutters
must be kept closed. Shut up in her
dark room and hearing the noisy rabble
below, the woman became greatly
alarmed.
There is but one thing for me te
do, she c.lcd. ''to insure safety. Twill
put myself under the care of the Ameri-
can general
She therefore sent her card to Sheri.
dan, who at once called and offered hil
services. He also advised that she should
join his party in the morning and get
away to London. Still she appeared dis.
tressed. Finally she cried: cit is my
bonnets at Virot's. They were to have
been down today. How can go and
leave them?"
The general grasped the situation and
offered his arm to escort her to the mil.
liners. Happily it was not far off.
Ever .afterward he delighted to tell OF
his pleasure at seeing such an array OF
dainty headgear. He had never been n'
q milliner's before.-New York Sun.
