Want Quiet Fourth Of July
The Canon City Merchants Associate
Be Enacted Prohibiting Indis
The Streets.

The Canon City Merchants Associa-
tion has laid before the city council a
petition signed by a large number OF
representative citisens asking il to
enact, IL practicable, an ordinance, or
an amendment to existing ordinances,
absolutely prohibiting the explosion OF
any gun powder, blasting powder. giant
powder, dynamite. nitro-glycerine or
any dangerous explosive. or the firing
Of any frecrackers, or fireworks, on
Main street from Fifteenth street on
the east, TO the western limits Of tn.
city.
The necessity for some such ordin-
ance as asked for by the petitioners is
xslf-evident to anybody who has ex-
perienced Fourth of July in this city.
Noise and pyroiechnics are well enough
in their wsy, but they are not essen
t.al to patriotic celebration OF pub
I lie holiday, although there are some
People who regard q great racket as
Synonymous with great patriotism.
Aside from the danger to life and
limb the use Of fire works on the sti eets
is a menace To property. and every cell
ebrAtion OF a national holiday leaves
behind IL u long list OF casualties: Of
people MANNED and of property des-
troyed. In many places this bnrning of
powder and exploding noise-making de-
vices Is being discouraged as conserv-
ing no useful purpose. Among the
large cities of the country this is not

eve Several minor accidents result
ed from the patriotic ardor and ebul-
lition of that occasion. among them
being the breaking of one Of the large
plate glass windows in the Annex build
ing In consequence Of the explosion OF
4 cannon cracker on the pavement q
few feet away.
For q number of years the Chicago
Tribune has made speciality Of col
lecting statistics showing the annual
loss OF life and the injuries inflicted on
the people Of the United States from .
careless handling Of fireworks. The
data collected by the Tribune is appall-
ing and by comparison makes the
fatalities connected with the Spanish
American war seem insignificant.
No patriotic American would deprive
his fellows OF an iota Of the gladness he
feels over the achievements OF his fore
fathers. but. as a matter Of self pro-
lection. he has right to ask that in
the celebration OF those historic events
the privileges of the pubic be not in
fringed.
The petition OF the Merchants Akso-
citation Is in line with the progress of
the age, and we hope that il will re-
ceive due consideration at the hands Of
the CITY council

A Stringent Order.

The recent order Of Mrs. Mary Baker
G. Eddy, head OF the Christian Science
organization, prohibiting those con-
nected with that denomination from
joining secret societies, or social clubs,
is matter of local interest, owing to
the large number OF members of the
sect referred to being residents of this
city. The notice, or commandment,
of Mrs. Eddy is one of the most drastic
ever issued to a modern religious body
and forbids the members OF the
Christian Science organization from
becoming members of any societies, or
organizations. such as the Masons, odd
Fellows, temperance societies, enchre
clubs and the like. Those who are
members of such associations when
they become Christisn Scientists need
not resign, but Christian Scientists
must not join such organizations.

Former ReaI Estate AGENT in Jail.

II. \. Gum, formerly a real estate
agent in BrattlebOro, who has been liV-
ing in Guilford, was arrested at the King
place in Guilford Wednesday night by
Deputy Sheriffs Knapp and Mcclure on
complaint of Mr., and Mrs H. Nj. Sey-
mour of Randolph charging him with
fraud. The plaintiffs claim is that Mr.
Gum sold them the slate rock property
in Guilford and then at their request
traded it for an equity i'm a house in Med
ford, Mass. They claim that Gum rep
resented that there was a mortgage of
$4,000 on the house, but that before the
mortgage was recorded the amount was
changed to $4,000. The bail in the case
would have been $4,000 and Gum would
have furnished that amount, but another
writ, of a criminal nature, in the same
transaction was sent to Brattleboro by
the states attorney of Orange county
which would require extra bail in the sum
of $4,000. Mr.. Gum decided to go to Jail
to await the June term of the Orange
county court Deputy Sheriff Mcclure
took him to Newfane jail yesterday.

Letter to o. j. PRATT.
BrattiebOro, VI

Dear Sir: The cheapest thing in the way Of
sending anything over the world is postage
stamp; and the cheapest way to shed water is
paint.
Not whitewash; paint. Do you happen TO
know-it doesn't belong ~ your business to
know about paint, you know-do you happen
to know that most of the makers of paint stun
it out with lime and clay ard sand and water
and air.
They do stun it out in the can; but not on
the house. They make more gallons to sell or
to buy; more money To pay for paint; more
money to pay for putting it on; good deal
more money To pay for putting it on; but no
more beauty; more rust; decay; disappoint-
ment; loss.
Devoe is your paint, because its all paint, no
sham, and fullmeasure.
Yours truly,
Is +. W. DEVOE & co.

SiIken Gown Supreme.

The stlken gown reigns supreme for
almost all occasions; but for the for
mai gOwn-fOr visiting dinner and
reception purposes-there is absolute
ly nothing which can take its place.
And the way in which the real laces,
those of bold and well-raised designs,
are used to supplement the richness
of the silk. is not b. any means the
least OF their attractions. A recent
gown shows the new radium satin
messaline-a white shot with faint
yellow, pale pink and hint of mauve
in different Hghts-cOmbiued with a
heavy mesh pointe Arabe in the new
yelIowish tint which blends so softly
with white. The cOrsage, which fas-

an overlaid yoke of the radium satin
