ONE THING LEADS 10 ANOTHER.

THE old adage, zone thing leads
to another" is a trueone. One new
industry started in q town is soon
followed by another or many 9TH
ers. The success Of the first makes
the second necessary; or if it be an
independent concern, encourages
the establishment Of others Of like
character. The rule has been
proven often and in many places
big and little 10y many enterprises
big and little. 1t is well to get out
of the old rut at any point and at
any time and in any way. There
is not a town or village in the
country that can not "make a break"
in some direction if its business
men and progressive men will get
together to start some new enter
prise Of some description, ifonly to
utilize the wasted resources Of the
locality or to supply the home de-
mand, the country demand, for
some products that is now purchas-
ed abroad. A canning factory, q
furniture factory, a cotton factory
in fact, there is a long list Of in
.dustries that would pay a profta.

PUBLIC SCHOOL CLOSING.
The Annual Exercises Took Place 20 the
Courthouse Last Week.


"
The annual closing exercises of |
the public school took place at the
courthouse Thursday and Friday |
nights Of last week before audien-
ces that completely packed the
house, many being turned away
after yainly attempting to get a
footing even in the hallway leading
to the court room.
The program Thursday night
was greatly enjoyed, especially the
drills and recitations, and the dra-
ma, "Driyen From Home" came
in for its share ofapplause, though
it was evident that those who took
part had not given much time or
rehearsal to the play. The drama
was repeated on Saturday night,
and wac presented with more snap
and animation than on the first
night, and was enjoyed and appre-
ciated.
The program Friday night in
cluded fan drill and the drama,
"Uncle Josiah's Courtship," which
was keenly enjoyed by the large
audience present. Especially was
it appreciated by young America,
who was largely in evidence and
very noisy.
The musical development Of the
children drilled for the occasion
was strongly evident in the pro-
gram Thursday night. Singing
has been a part of the daily work
Of the students since last Septem-
Der.
It was first intended to have only
two nights of the entertainment,
but in order to defray the expense
incurred in building a stage, ETC.,
the two dramas and one of the
drills were repeated Saturday night
and a small charge was made fol
the above purpose.
In summing up the program nun.
bers it would be difficult to indi
vidualize, even if we were SO inclin
ed, where all was SO well done
Professors Cooper and Lindsey
and Mrs. Lindsey deserve mucl
credit for the successful termina
ton Of the school as we'll as the en-
joyable exercise closing the same
and if the question is left with tn,
patrons of the school they would
be promptly chosen to teach tn
school for another year.
Those students who expect t.
graduate have several weeks o
study ahead Of them before the fna
; commencement exercises of Ben
ton Seminary.

LET US CELEBRATE.

A big Fourth Of July celebration
should be worked up for Camden.
At a very small expense a big
crowd would be attracted here.
Something like a basket picnic
could be provided, with good speak
ing (of which we have a good sup
ply of home talent to draw from,
games and other amusements and
at night a few fireworks in court
square or the suburbs Of the town
We make the suggestion in time
Cor ample preparation for cele-
bration. We would like to see
some Of our enterprising and patri-
otto citizens take hold Of this and
let US have Fourth Of July cele-
bration that will be a credit to
Camden. Other towns are doing
this. Huntingdon, raised nearly
$500 last year in a few hours, and
they had a grand time. People
from Camden attended because
we had no celebration at home!
Must we let the great American
bird which typifes liberty soar all
Ground us, leaving us sitting in the
shadow of his wing? Get up a
celebration, and the crowds will
come. Don't delay. Call a mass
meeting, appoint your committees.
We can have a big celebration and
patriotism will flow like water
Besides, it will do the town good

The Commission Receives SugGcs-
tions ns 10 site.

The first of the open meetings of the
commission having in charge the prepa-
ration OF plans for the new passenger
bridge across the Potomac to take the
place of the Long Bridge was held in
the office of the engineer in charge OF
the work on the water front, 200l | Street
northwest yesterday morning. The meet
ing was called to order by Lieut.. Col.
Charles J. Allen, Corps of Engineers, L.
$. A. and its object was explained TO
those present. 4 number of business
men, shippers, and persons interested in
river traffic responded to the invitation
extended by Colonel Allen several days
ago TO be present and state their views
of the proposed structure.
Charles 6. Smith, of C. G. Smith & Co.
stated that his company was interested
in securing as high a bridge as possible
because il would facilitate the work of
towing. H. which they Were engaged.

II. Lee. of Georgetown, endorsed what
Mr.. Smith said

Pennsylvania Railroad Company, submit
ted the plans drawn up by his company

Alexandria County officials. and repre-
sentutiyes Of the brick companies operat-
ing across the river Were also heard.
They requested that the site selected be
near the Long Bridge, as they had just
finished building a road which cost the
county over S1S, ,O00. They said that if the
bridge is removed to any great distance
it would make necessary the building of
another road or the extension of the pres
ent one, either Of which would require
heavy expenditures, which the county
treasury cannot afford. All were en-
phatically opposed TO the so-called Syca-
more Point site
At the close of the meeting Colonel AL
len stated that another open session
would be held this morning at II o'clock,

The Veteran Catcher Signed Yester-
day by Manager Manning.

Mike Grady, the former New York
catcher has been signed by Manager
Manning, OF the Washington team, and
will be seen this year in a Senator's uni
form. Grady came to Washington yes
terday afternoon and had talk with
Manning. The conversation lasted about
five minutes and then Grady signed "A
contract to play with the Senators dur
ing the coming season. He received Il
slice of advance money and returned to
Philadelphia, but will come to this city,
accompanied by his wife, Monday morn
ing
Grady was a member of the Philadel-
phia team until the spring of 1897. when
he was traded to st. Louis, and the fol-
lowing season went to New York where
he has done everything but pitch during
the past three seasons. A good hitter and
catcher, as well as man who puts gin
ger into team by his energetic efforts
Grady Is particularly valuable owing to
his ability to fill in on the iniield or as
an outfielder i'm cases Of emergency.
With Bill Clarke, il gives Washington
a pair of catchers who rank second to
none in the country. and Captain Everett
was greatly pleased last night when he
learned that Grady had been signed. New
York tried to transfer Grady to St Louis
this spring, but he refused to go to that
city, and also declined TO sign a New York
contract declaring he would remain out
of the game rather than to play there
again under the present management.

the New York team last year, and who
