WORLDWIDE FESTIVITIES.
The Oiorious Fourth 10 Celebrated
Over the Whole World.

The glorious Fourth Is celebrated the
world over. II il not confined TO the
United States 49,, by any means. Ii is
often said that the sun never sets upon the
British empire. II Is equally true that II
never sets upon the American Fourth Of
July. Even beyond our territorial limits
the day is honored all over the world,
wherever there Is an American consular
officer or naval ship. The latter particu.
larly are the scenes OF celebration well up
10 the importance OF the great holiday.
Early in the morning the ship Is dressed
with many cOlored' flags, all unnecessary
work is stopped, national sautes are fired
at noon. and the day is largely devoted 10
athletic sports, such as rowing or sailing
matches, games Of baseball, etc, on shore,
il practicable. and TO the men as well rs
officers ii is a day Of good cheer, the Ia
bles being spread with as bountcOus re,
pasts, fore and aft, a. the markets will
afford. The naval regulations are relaxed
and II Is generally day Of enjoyment
equalled by no other day Of the year save
Christmas.
Whenever ships OF foreign nations are
In port at the same time as the American,
they are officially notified Of the coming
holiday. and requested TO participate IN
its celebration. This they invariably do,
decorating and saluting with the Amer
can vessels. In this connection may be
mentioned a curious thing, well known 10
all navy men. As may easily be imagined,
the day is not one calculated 10 give sem
sations OF unalloyed pleasure 10 the Brit
ish. az IL celebrates the declaration Of in
dependence from the British yoke. Still
il would be very discourteous for English
men, now that they are on friendly terms

case IL il customary for British ships Il

there is an American warship on tbs
Fourth Of July. Ordinarily, this can b'
managed by adjusting the vessels move
ments 10 this end. but when, as often hap
pens, the American ship happens in IN
awares, the British ship makes an excuse
for being away that day, as, for example
on the pretext Of going out 10 sea for tar
