I'm GAY PAREE."

The sale of seats for I'm Gay Paree''
has opened auspiciously, and a great
attraction is promised. In TN Gay
Paree'' it is reported that the Partisan
grisette and demoiselle will be repre-
scented by battalions of beauties chosen
for their faultless figures and faces.
These are to be encountered in the gor-
geous ballets interspersed through the
piece as we'll as in the chorus. The cast
of this spectacular lyric comedy brings
into requisition the services of seven
distinguished comedians and half a
dozen condolences and soubrettes. The
chances therefore for an expansive
smile, a broad grin and an irresistible
ha! ha! are by no means slim when the
curtain goes up and the fun begins in
"In Gay Paree." Sale of seats now
open. Prices $3.50, 81 and rs cents.

GREATEST NOISE OF ALL
MOY SING EXPLODED 100000 FIRE
CRACKERS AT ONCE.
Chinese Celebration of the Fourth
Usual List of Accidents
and Fires.

Moy Sing. a Chinese dealer, on New York
street just east of Massachusetts avenue.
has long looked forward to the Fourth and
he made extensive preparations 70 celebrate.
Moy Sing bought for himself ten large boxes
of irecrackers and n each box were 10000
OF the small variety. Moy Sing then invited
many Of his fellow-countrymen to be present
last evening when he celebrated the Fourth.
He opened his ten boxes OF firecrackers and
took out each bunch. Then he piled the
punches into high pile in the street in front
Of his store and the pile was as high as a
man OF average height.
After darkness had fallen Moy Sing
touched a lighted match to the pile ant COR
five minutes the street looked like a a
of flame. One hundred thousand crackers
exploded in a continuous roar and now and
then the flames and the noise seemed to take
spurts, as If to Guido the former noise and
flames. The noise gradually died away and
the street looked like a stretch of red clay,
and exploded firecrackers were ankle deep.
Moy Sing and his compartriots sat down to
talk 1t all over and they were delighted.
Great day for noise. Great day for noise,'
said Moy Sing as he laughed and Rugged
himself Joy myself once year. Joy my
sell once year. 'Merica make great noise.
Great day."

THE FIRE RECORD.
Department Horses Almost Exhausted

Boys, firecrackers and the absence OF
moisture in infiammable materials caused
the fire department much hard work yester-
day. From early morn until 3 o'clock in
the afternoon the horses were kept going
almost constantly and at that time were
almost exhausted. Three runs were made
to extinguish fires in grass plats, started by
the explosion of firecrackers. About 1920

A Batch of Statistics.

The State Bureau of Statistics has issued
bulletin on the subject of electric light,
power. gas and water plants of the State
both private and municipal. The pamphlet
is made up OF thirty-eight separate tables,
showing features OF the operation of the
different plants with relation TO the capital
f,yested. cost Of fuel. water and other items
o. operating expense. together with the pro-
portion of revenue derived from public
service. The statistics are presented in
such a way as to impress the lay mind with
the idea that they are of little value. There
are no totals nor capitulation. Moreover. in
the preface the bureau states that THE
private owners Of three electric light and
i've water works plants Of the chief cities
or the State declined to allow the facts
pr resented in connection with the name of
the State, and one OF the larger gas works
plants in the State made only partial re-
port OF the facts which was so inadequate
as TO be worthless" In addition to this, To-
cal conditions figure in the cost OF operation
to such an extent that the tables are of lit
tie use for purposes of comparison.
