THE Fourth of July parade promises TO
/ be even more successful than was at
first thought. New features are being
secured every day. some of which VIII be
very novel and interesting. The three
pony carriages will be among the hand
soonest eauipages in line. They will carry
representatives of Cuba, Puerto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines. and will fol-
low the Liberty car. One OF these car
riages will be contributed by j. Nj. Mink,
OF this city. and the other two by the
Wild West show. The son OF the famous
chief. Sitting Bull. will also march with
the Wild West show contingent.
The Modern Woodmen Of America nave
signifed their intention OF turning out
fifty men In uniform besides providing
large embematic float and about 4Vo
men in line bearing the implements or
Woodcraft The Woodmen are the hrst
of the secret society contingent to report
definitely. although nearly all have sig
nif,ed their intention of Joining In the
celebration. Grand Marshal Moore would
like all societies to report as early as
possible. as II will greatly tighten his la

meet this evening at their Castle nail
in the Stevens hotel building to determine
their part In the parade. All members
OF X of p. organizations are requested
to be present.
the returned volunteers. and will prob
ably be carried out, that a typical scout
ing party from members of the Washing
ton volunteers be in line. The IDEA Is
apparently returning from a foraging
and scouting expedition, bringing with
them several prisoners and possibly
bunch OF chickens or a pig. Behind them
would come an ambulance to be fur
nished by the local Red Cross Society,
and behind the whole number OF Jap
anese. dressed to represent Filipino in
surgents who would attack the return
ing foraging party from the rear ana
bring on a sham skirmish. IL is suggested
that the Washington volunteer quartette
might be induced TO occupy the ambu-
lance and sing during the procession.
A matter which Will be absolutely es-
sential TO the success of the parnd" IN
be clearing OF the streets. At number
OF places on Second and First avenues
building materials are piled. extending
nearly TO the center of the street II
these are not removed the procession
will be greatly impcded.
The decorations for the day will he
as uniform as possible. There VIII he
used about 1900 inca ndescent lights. ar
ranged in festoons over the streets. and
10 insure the desired uniformity the elec-
trie light companies have agreed not TO
put in any street lights for private firms
or individuals. This does not apply to
the fronts OF buildings.
