ADMIRAL DEWEY'S ARRIVAL,
Greeted at the Depot by Cheers of the
MuItifude

Admiral George Dewey arrived in Wash
irgton shortly before O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, was anticipated in The Star
miral's train, the Federal Express of the
Pennsylvania railroad should have ar
rived at 1870 o'clock in the morning, but
was delayed six hours by the fog which
enveloped New York harbor Sunday night.
The train is ferried across to Jersey City.
On this occasion the fog was so dense, how
ever, it was deemed inadvisable to run the
cars across until it lifted, which did not
occur until yesterday morning Admiral
Dewey did not mind the delay, for it was
the first failure to keep up to or before
the schedule since his daybreak entrance
into Manila harbor.
Arriving at 9th street station Admiral
Dewey remained several minutes in the
Vanderbilt private car, IN which he made
the Journey. 1t was slightly after 4 o'clock
when he alighted and made his way
through cheering crowd in the waiting
rooms to the carriage in waiting outside
the station. The admiral was accompanied
by Flag Lieut.. Brumby, Flag Secretary
Caldwell and Mr.. r. T. McKeever, general
passenger agent of the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn.
Admiral Dewey acknowledged the ovation
rendered by the people gathered at the
depot by lifting his silk hat. He was at
once driven to the Everett, at 18th and II
streets at which hosiery he Will make his
temporary home. The admirars trip
through New England was one Of continu-
Gus demonstrations in his honor. He re-
turned home, however, not the least IA
better health than when he left this city
some time ago.

Seven. Pmsses AyvnN.

The death of Henry w. FARMLAND &C.
CURED at his home, 2515 Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. Saturday last.
The deceased was a naval veteran and
was seventy seven years old. He was

break of the civil war he re-entered the
service and continued on active duty until
1881, when he was retired

Firecrackers and Fireworks,

10 the Editor OF The Evening Star.
1 was very glad to learn that the Com
missioners have adopted a regulation in
tended to stop the use of giant or dyna-
mite firecrackers I only regret they did
not go further and prohibit the sale or use
of all fireworks in the city proper.
According to the statements made soon
after the last Fourth Of July, upon reliable
data, there were 141 lives lost, of which
SO died of lockjaw, resulting from explo-
sions, and nearly 1000 more injured, be-
sides $2:33 900 worth of property DESTROYED
by fireworks, toy cannons etc No less
than 63 persons were wounded by stray
bullets. AS was well said by the Chicago
Record the list Of killed and wounded at
Santiago was but little, If any, larger than
the total of casualties due to the Fourth of
July.
BY the indiscriminate use of fireworks
toy cannons, guns, etc, the city is con-
verified into a veritable bedlam, inflicting
upon the sick and quiet citizens a perfect
torture, so much that thousands leave
the city and are, glad when the day Is over.
1t is a national disgrace that such con-
dition Of affairs should be permitted to
exist. 1t Is not patriotism, but hocdlum-
ism, and should not be permitted.
1t is noteat az necessary to prevent the
use of fireworks, but they should not be
permitted in the city proper.
A place outside, as for instance the mon
ument grounds or better still, the park
across the river, where all who want to use
fireworks might go and do without an
noying the sick and quiet citizens, and
where If they will insist on manning them
selves. they will not endanger the lives
and property of peaceable, not to say bet
ter and mere patriotic citizens.
In former years at the north these mat
tiers were managed in far better manner.
At public meeting held for the purpose
a committee Of citizens was appointed to
take entire charge of the fireworks A
place, outside Of the thickly settled por-
ton of the city, was selected, and there at
the appointed time, usually on the even
ing of the Sd, all fireworks were discharged.
No one was killed or injured, and no prop
erty was destroyed. How much better such
a plan than the indiscriminate and con-
tinual noise and racket which we have,
and which unfortunately is not confined to
single day. Some people, especially the
hoodlums and street gamins, seem to think
that noise, especially If it can be so made
as to annoy or brighten Others is synony-
NOUS with patriotism. 1t is time they were
taught better, and the way to do it is for
the authorities everywhere to put a stop to
it w. G. DODGE.

HIGH DEGREE MASONS
Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite Con-
tinues It's Sessions.
The Morning Meeting Devoted to Con-
sideratiOn of Numerous
Routine Matters.

The Supreme Council. Thirty-third De-
gree, A. and A. Scottish Rite, Southern
jurisdiction of the United States, continued
its sessions today at the House of the
Temple, corner Sd and E streets north
west. The proceedings, which, of course,
are conducted behind closed doors, begun
shortly after 10 o'clock and considerable
amount of routine business had been trans
acted when recess was taken at II 80
o'clock.
Mr.. Samuel c. Lawrence of Massachu-
sets, lieutenant grand commander of the
Supreme Council of the Northern Juris-
diction and representative of the Southern
Jurisdiction in that body. was present this
morning during the meeting.
The council went into session again at
o clock this afternoon when the reports
of committees will be considered. 1t is
possible that the very important question
of revising the ritual will be reached.
Yesterdays Proceedings.
The initial session of the Supreme Coun-
Gil did not conclude until late hour yes
terday afternoon. 1t was devoted to the
reception of reports from inspectors and
officers, including the treasurer general and
secretary general, and the reading by Grand
Commander Caswell of his allocution.
He gave a detailed report of the vista
lions and said that the rite was never in a
more prosperous condition than at pres
emit Many new bodies have been estab-
lished and old ones revived. I'm this con-
Eection,' said Grand Commander Caswell,
1t is not out of place to suggest to the
Supreme Council the adoption of some plan,
comprehensive and certain, whereby bodies
of the rite may be established in llocali-
ties where none have heretofore existed.
Our returns show that at the present date
we have but about ten thousand perfect
Elus in good standing upon our rolls of
membership, the larger proportion of whom
are recent acquisitions. According to the
latest statistics available there are 100000
master Masons in good standing within the
territory comprising this grand jurisdic-
ton, 100000 of whom are not Scottish Rite
Masoas.'
AT the conclusion of the reading Repre-
sentative James d Richardson of Tonnes
see was elected lieutenant grand command
er, vice o. S. Long, deceased: w. Frank
Pierce of California, treasurer general vice
Gilmor Meredith. deceased, and j. c. Tay-
lor of the District of Columbia, assistant
secretary general.

pffce.-' No long and dusty travel De- fore we get there. It Is only one step away.
 In California in five minutes I walk ed around and saw ten fountains all bubbling up, and they were all diff ferent. and in five minutes I can go through this Bible parterre and find you 50 bright, sparkling fountains bub- bling up into eternal life-healing and therapeutic. A chemist will go to one of these summer watering places and take the water, and analyze it, and tell you it contains so much of iron, and so much of soda, and so much of lime, and so much of magnesia. l come to this gospel well, this living fountain, and analyZe the water, and find that it's ingredients are peace, pardon. for giveness, hope, comfort, life, heaven. "Ho, every one that thirsteth. come ye" to this watering place! Crowd around this Bethesda. Oh. you sick, you lame, you troubled, you dying, crowd around this Bethesda! Step in it, oh, step in It. The angel of the covenant today stirs the water. Why do you not step In 1t? Some of you are too weak to take a step in that direction Then we take you up in the arms of prayer and plunge you clear under the wave, hop ing that the cure may be as sudden and as radical as with Captain Naa- man, who, blotched and carbuncled, stepped into the Jordan and after the seventh dive came up, his skin roseate complexioned tY the flesh of a little child
