the River Front

Raleigh, N. c., November 22.-News
just received from Elizabeth City, N. c.,
indicates that the search for the L.
year old Nellie Cropsey, missing from
her home in that city since IL O'Clock
p. m. November goth, points either to
suicide by drowning or departure in Il
river craft.
Hurricane" Branch with blood
hounds arrived on the scene about noon
today. The dogs were given the scent
from the absent girls shoes and stock
ings and followed the trail through a
turnip patch along the river and finally
to a pier where it was lost.
The suicide theory is weakened by re-
sultsless river dragging.
Nellie was last seer on her porch
with her lover. James Wilcox, and it is
said he left her crying. Great excite
mem prevails owing to the mystery.

Preparations for Its Celebration by
Patriotic Washington,
PROGRAM At COLUMBIA THEATER
The Oldest inhabitants to Observe
the Day.
YOUNG AMERICAS TRIBUTE

AS the Fourth of July approaches pa
triotic Washington is preparing to do honor
and reverence to the hallowed anniversary
OF the nations launching. The conditions
for a display of patriotic devotion are de-
cidedly more propitious than one year ago.
On that day the national capital as well,
In fact. as the whole civilized world, was
plunged into mourning at the news from
Pekin which announced in startling Ger
tainty that not foreigner In that city
but had been murdered.
Not only has that supposed calamity been
most satisfactorily adjusted, but there is
cause for national rejoicing on every hand
The national institutions give every evil
dence of the excellence of their foundation
laid on the first Fourth of July to be made
memorable, and the disposition Of the peo-
pie indicates that they are most keenly APP
preciative of the blessings bestowed on that
occasion.
The formal celebration of the day, where
the injunction of the fathers will be car
ried out in the reading of the Declare
ton Of Independence, will be held at the
Columbia Theater under the auspices Of
the Sons of the American Revolution.
The celebration, however. will not stop
here. Each individual will take up the
matter and make it a personal affair. This
Is attested by the great preparations being
made by the managers of every accessible
resort and also by the of prosperity
which has suddenly dawned on the pur
veyOrs of fireworks. both artistic and noisy.
1t has been estimated that China will be
able to make with ease her first indemnity
payment when she gets returns from
America on Fourth Of July fireworks. All
dealers in the city report unprecedented
sales
Notable Feature.
Perhaps the feature of the day most
notable aside from the public exercises at
the Columbia Theater, is the vast number
OF excursions and private picnics Every
body Is going somewhere, and everybody
will be everywhere; the boom of the crack
er and the sizzle Of the rocket will pune
tuate the reign OF patriotic revelry.
The exercises at the Columbia Theater
will be presided over by Mr.. Noble D. Lar
Der, president of the Society of the Sons
of the American Revolution.
The Marine Band will open the exercises
at 10 O'Clock by rendering Sousa's march,
The Invncible Eagle"
Rev. Thomas s. Childs, DID,, chaplain of
the society, will pronounce an invocation.
The colors will be presented by Compatriot
Leon L. French. "Viva LAmerica" will be
sung by Frank S. Pierce, after which Col.
Edwin B. Hay will read the Declaration of
Independence. THE Star Spangled Banner"
ana Our Glorious Banner" will be played
by the band The Grafton of the day will
be delivered by Rev. Frank NJ. Bristol.
The prayer and benedictfon will be pro-
nounced by Rev. Thomas S. Childs, DID,
preceded by America" by the band.
