LITTLE "TOM" MADE HAPPY.

All DAY yesterday long line of prospec-
tive celebrators filed past James Clark's
desk in Mayor Wellss office and waited
their turn for one of the permits granting
them the privilege of discharging fireworks
to-day.
There were many grown men, as well as
bows in the line, who waited patiently for
one of the slips of paper. which are signed
both by Mayor Wells and his secretary.
James G. McConkey. and bear the stamp
of the city.
If the 2.563 permits which Clerk Clark
issued can be taken as criterion. the
Fourth will be Gioriously celebrated in st.
Louis a. Ter the Mayors office closed there
were many who had failed to arrive in
time to get permit. None will be issued
to-day.
One applicant for a permit yesterday was
a youngster about years old. and when
asked his name he said 1t was Tom. and
insisted that Tom was all there was to 1t.
He said that he only had 10 cents wo-thh
of frecrackers and he wanted permit
$50 the cops wouldn't pinch him. when he
made so much noise.
Clark made out the permit to Tom"
much to his joy. and when gentleman
who was also waiting for permit gave
him a quarter for more frecrackers he
In the proclamation which Mayor Wells
issued on June % ne gave his reasons for
urging extra precaution in the use of all
kinds of explosives. and quoted the law
touching upon the discharge of fireworks,
stating that the law would be strictly en-
forced.
The law, in substance. follows: mo per-
son shall, in this city. discharge or set of
any rockets OF any other pyrotechnic ex-
hibition or shoot any firecrackers or other
kind of fireworks without the written con-
sent of the Mayor.
The permits were the cause of crowding
the Mayors office yesterday, and the cause
of many disappointmentS when several per-
sons found that they had arrived after the
office closed.

Messenger Bureau.

Raleigh, y. c., May Is.
Deputy Sheriffs were today serving
subpoenas on witnesses in the habeas
corpus hearing of Ernest Haywood for
the killing of Ludlow skinner A law
year of the prosecution remarked today
tina if the defense intended to make
an effort for habeas corpus they had
to do so before the next term of court
because after two terms have passed
the accused cannot apply for the writ,
because he has then had two chances
to try his case. Hence if the defendant
should for any reason have the case
again continued in July he would have
to remain in Jail until the September
term Of court. This shows why It is
important to get out the writ and Sc
cure bail if possible before July.
The delay at the corporation commits

statement of the banks at the close Of
business April 9th is due 10 the failure
of the state printers to yet finish the

Mr.. Hartman Has Appendicitis.

Chicago, May he. II. Hartman,
who on his way from the west to New
York. arrived in Chicago shortly after
noon n left for New oYrk as quickly
as his special train could be switched
from the Northwestern to the Lake
Shore road. He declined to see report
ers.
Mr.. Hartman underwent an eXami-
nation upon his arrival here and the
physicians declared hat he had a
slight attack of appendicitis. His con-
dition was found to be not serious, but
he was advised to continue his journey
to New York without delay. He was
said to have spent a comfortable night
and was free from pain. MI. Harri-
a was able to leave his car and walk
about the platform.
Cleveland, O.. Nav 15.-The special
train bearing Mr.. Hartman and party
left for New York over the Lake Shore
road at S o'clock tonight. Mr.. Harri-
man was not seen. but his private Sec
rotary, who spoke for him, said that
the report that Mr.. Harrison is suffer-
ing from appendicitis is quite untrue.
lat nc symptoms of that aliment had
definitely apDeared, that a slight pain
in his abdomen had been SO relieved as
to warrant the conclusion that there
is no probability 10 of appendicitis.
Mr.. Hartman was reported to be Sit

The British Duty on Grain.

London. May 15.-Premier Balfour,
accompanied by the chancellor of the
eXchequer, Mr.. Ritiebie, today received
Il large and influential deputation of
unioniStS members of the house of
commons headed by Mr.. Chaplain. a
former president of the board Of agri-
culture, who protested against the re-
mission of the grain duty.
Mr.. BaIfour made a long argument
in reply to the representations of the
deputation, but did not give the slight
est indication Of conceding the de-
n The act as never intended to
be a protective measure, he said, and
could not be q permanent part of the
fiscal system. He did not intend to
say that the present system was ne
ceSSarily permanent. New conditions
had arisen since the old free trade
policy was adopted and he could i'm
agine circumstances under which Great
Britain by way of retaliation would no
longer consent TO be made a passive
target for other countries living under
different conditions.
Mr.. Balfour concluded with saying
he would welcome a closer fiscal union
Of the mOtherland and the colonies.
The movement, however. would be eX-
tremely difficult to carry out and must
come from the heart, conscience and
Intelligence of the great masses of the
people.
