THE FOURTH oFJuLY.
HOW 1T WILL BE OBSERVED II
NORFOLK.

OF course it's unnecessary to remind
the thousands OF bright people who read
the Nirginian-Pilot that to-day is the
Fourth of July, Americas glorious In
dependence Day, since the Small Boy
and the frecracker will be on deck 10
keep up Il continual reminder of that
fact. This Fourth OF July will proba bly,
be more periodically celebrated over
the country than any anniversary of
the signing of the Declaration OF Indc-
pcndencc ut Philadelphia. 1913 years ago.
Certain il is that there will be Il greater
number join in the patriotic jubilation
than ever there were before. There Is
Il combination Of causes for this. the
chief ones of these being the stronger
concentration OF the two great sections OF
the country together. and the martial
spirit now abroad in tho land, awaken
ed by the recent war. Not only in these
fortyfive States will the day be ccie-
brated. but even in England the Stars
and Stripes will be cheercd as they
float by the Union Jack.
Norfolk will celebrate the day inform
ally, but this does not mean quietly.
The stores have sold great quantities
OF fire and cannon crackers and fire
works generally. The banks, the courts
tho custom house and the poStoflice will
all be closed the latter observing the
regular Sunday hours. The principal
stores of the city will be closed either
the whole or part of the day. OF
course, there are many upon whom the
day only adds more arduous work. The
police. the hotel people, the street car
and all transportation employees and
the man at the soda foun tain--thesc
might be mentioned as among the class
whose laborS are increased.
y great number Of Norfolkians will
spend the day outside of the city. EX-
cursions will be run from here 10 Rich
mond, Washington, Baltimore and other
points Everybody will. OF course, have
a joyous. july time.

MIR. WILLIAMS EXPLAINS.
HE SAYS SUNDAY VAUDEVILLE
PERFORMANCES WE'RE NOT
CONTEM Plated

The fact that the matter OF the al
legged intention of the Ocean View
management to produce Sunday vaudc-
vile performances at Ocean View. was
considered and discussed at recent
meeting of number of Norfolk min
listers of the Gospel, has caused many
people to believe that such course
was actually contemplated.
This rumor has gained such currency
as to be worthy. in the estimation OF
Mr.. II. Lancaster Williams. of special
denial. When seen ON the subject last
night ut Ocean View Mr. Williams
said he was surprised that such action
had been taken by the ministers. as
they were entirely erroneous in their
action.
He stated most emphatically that the
idea of Sunday vaudeville performances
for Ocean View had never been. nor
would for one moment be. considered
by himself or his associates.
1t Isl not known how such a rumor
originated, and the ministers will no
doubt be pleased to hear words of this
character from Mr.. Williams. whose
every effort he states. will be to keep
Ocean View n proper and pleasant
place for refined people to visit at any
and all times.
