pairing their lists for some time past, and
by now almost every one of them has
placed his order in the hands OF the job

been made which range in price from $3.50
to $50. Fireworks are cheaper this year
than at any former time. and an excellent

assortments are packed and shipped by the
wholesaler directly from the factory, and
can be ordered some time in advance.

MARTINELLI'S CERTIFICATE.
Why the Archbishop Wns Licensed
to Perform Marriages.

1t was announced a few days since that
Archbishop Martinelli. Apostolic Delegate
to the United States. had taken out a Ii
cense to enable him TO perform the mar
riage ceremony III the District of Columbia
Behind this announcement there is
story which shows the warmly sympathc
nature of the Catholic dignitary Elenora
Bargasin. comely daughter Of Italy. re-
sides with her parents, Francesca and
! Elenora Bargagri. at No. 609 / Street
northeast. Her father is the cook for Arch
bishop Martinelli and his staff. The Bar
gagni family were well known to the Arch
bishop in Italy. and when he came to
America the family also came the father
finding employment in the Archbishop's
household.
Eienora is TO be married. She desired
above all things to have the ceremony per-
formed by the apostolic delegate He1
father thought the request unreasonable
but Elenora insisted, and when he declined
TO ask fer SO great favor she timiIly m lde
her request in person, and the Archbishop
consented.
II was then discovered that the delegate
was not qualified under the law to perform
the ceremony. Even an apostolic dele
gate cannot perform a marriage ceremony
in the District without license He had,
however promised, and he kept his word
He went down to the District building
and got the license, which was duly pub
lished, but no one could find out what ii
was all about The secret came out ac-
cidentally. The marriage will take place
on July II. and the Archbishop has
further consented TO perform the ceremony
at his residence
The Italians of the District are inter-
ested and the Bargagni family is joyous.
The name of the prospective bridegroom is
one of the secrets which will be kept for
few days yet.

Real E.tate Mem. Complaint.

Arms Drury, real estate agents, recently pro-
tested to the Commissioners against the change OF
grade in the alley in the of lots Il and As,
in the square bounded by North Capitol Street, o
Street, and New York Avenue northwest. They
siated that within year about forty-eight houses
lad been erected on the square in question by
them, and that certain established grade was
given them at the time. In conclusion the COM
plainants informed the Commissioners that their
arbitrary action in changing the grade Of the
alley at the present time greatly impairs the
value of the property. When the protest
ferred TO the District Engineer Depart
ment the engineer stated that the real es
tate men are wrong in stating that a grade was
furnished them in the alley and subsequently,
changed. On the contrary, it is claimed that
grade sought at the time the property
improved, and that 1t was not established until
after all the houses had been completed and the
alley ordered to be paved. The Commissioners
have decided not to modify the grade now. and
the work will proceed on the established grade.
