Penny's statement that the present and

sion was held along this line and Mr..
Penny expressed frankly his views on
the subject. He says the music being
introduced into the Sunday schools to-

brothers wandered up town, walking
through the deep shadows along Bank

confronted by the robbers who COM
manded them to hold up their hands.
One of the brothers took to his heels,
but the thieves caught T. E. Rich and

money.
Rich shouted Justify for help, but the
robbers, who accomplished their work
quickly, fed before assistance arrived.
The police were notified and all the out
going trains were watched, but no trace
of the robbers could be found.

walton to the rank Of German ambassador

envoy on extraordinary mission to settle
the Venezuelan troubles that he would

Sternburg was promoted from consul gen.
eral at Calcutta to the mission at WASH

AUGURS WELL FOR FUTURE.
Success Of Independence Day Celebra-
ton Inspires to Greater Achievements.

ton inspires to Greater Achievements.
Commissioner Mcfarland, who served as
chairman Of the committee having charge
Of the Independence day celebration in
Washingto. stated today that the success
attending the first official celebration of the
day was such as to augur still greater
achievements In this line In the future The
celebrations will undoubtedly continue
henceforth, and Washington should be the
center Of notable utterances on the national
birthday. There has been a suggestion that
the addresses delivered Saturday on the
White House lawn should be bound and
preserved, and the committee will meet in
a few days to consider this matter, along
with the winding up of the general affairs.
Next year it Is hoped the President may
be able to be present at the local celebration
to deliver the principal address. Addresses
by eminent men of affairs delivered here
will be sent and published all over the
world, and there seems no reason why
WashingtOn's celebration should not be the
principal one Of the country.
Contributions to the celebration fund are
still coming in. the sum of SIC having been
acknowledged today. OF this sum $40 was
contributed by the Havenner Baking Com
pany. 81 was collected by John c. Dancy,
and 81 was collected by w. w. Dudley.
Commissioner Mcfarland is writing to-
day to all the members OF the committee
of arrangements and the chairmen Of spe-
cial committees. as well as officers Of the
parade. thanking them for their valued
services and congratulating them upon the
success of the occasion. Mr.. Mcfarland
has received a number OF letters congratu-
lating him.
