gencies. Meanwhile 1t continues its nurses
training school and supply bureau. which
was organized in 1899, and ever since, al
though the graduated nurses are all
obliged to be called into the service of the

ing to the sealer. persons buying quart

manufacturer several thousands of these
boxes They declared they were ignorant
Of the fact that the boxes are under stand
ard measure.

ence in Police Court this morning of Dr.

near 10th street northwest, the defendant
dog dashed out of the home of its owner,
926 E street and grabbed his animal by
the throat. Other witnesses testified and
substantiated the complainant.

that the dog owned by DIR. Phelps enjoys

Spanish War Veterans, Fete.

The attendance at the annual lawn fete
of the Spanish War Veterans, which is to
be given this year, beginning June @, and
running to June Is. at 18th and Z streets
northwest, promises to be unusually large.
This is partly on account of the fact that
each holder of an admission ticket Is en-
titled to an opportunity to secure round
trip ticket to the St. Louis exposition, as
well as 500 In cash. Nearly all of the
tickets that were originally given to the
comrades to dispose of have found a ready
sale. and second series of tickets is being
prepared, which will also include those sold
at the gate. The arrangements for the fete
have about been completed and the various
attractions that have been secured are of q
high order of merit. A panorama of the
battle of Manila will be shown, and each
ticket of admission to this feature will en-
title the holder to chance to guess on the
total number of admissions to the fete, the
lucky guesser to receive 500 in cash. Be-
sides this there will be music, dancing sup
per and all of the regular attractions that
go to make these affairs enjoyable.

NO OFFICIAL SERVICE
ONLY INDIVIDUAL CELEBRATION
OF FOURTH OF JULY THIS YEAR.
Commissioners to Wait Until 1905 Be-
fore Renewing Their Efforts
Reasons for the Decision.

On the suggestion of Commissioner Mac
fariand the Commissioners have decided
not to provide for an official celebration OF
Independence day this year They hope
that under the impulse given by the official
celebration last Fourth of July patriotic
societies and individuals will observe the
day individually. The Commissioners say
that an official celebration ought to be held
only every other year, and expect to ar
range next year for such a celebration In
this way they expect to see a general OBJ
servance of the day. which had been falling
away before the official celebration of last
year. kept up annually.
There are reasons why In the judgment OF
the Commissioners 1t is well that there is
to be no official celebration of the Fourth
of July this year. 1t would be very unde-
sirable. they say, to have a celebration that
would fall below the high standard set last
year, when the French ambassador NJ JUS
serand; Secretary Moody and Admiral
Dewey were among those who took part in
the public meeting. This year. because OF
the presidential conventions, the republic
cans meeting in Chicago on June p and the
democrats in st. Louis on July 6, and be-
cause of the st. Louis exposition, together
with other circumstances orators of like
reputation cannot be had for the occasion
Officials Will Be Absent.
inquiry developed, for example, that
President Roosevelt would be at Oyster
Bay; that Secretary Taft, whom the Com
missioners thought of inviting to speak
would be on his vacation. that the French
ambassador would sail for France the 10th
of June and Admiral Dewey would leave
for his vacation about the same time. The
orators of the cabinet and others who
might have been invited to speak will all
be away, and also a number of the mem
bers of the committee Of arrangements OF
last year and other District citizens.
Further. the Commissioners, through COM
mittees of arrangements, are preparing for
the celebration OF District OF Columbia Day.
October 20, at the st. Louis Exposition,
and besides have asked the Board Of Trade
and the Business Mems Association, at the
request Of the War Department to make
arrangements to help entertain the del
cation of fifty prominent Filipinos who are
to visit Washington on the 9th. 10th. and
18th of June. These, with other unusual de-
mands upon the time and money Of pub
lic-spirited citizens make 1t fortunate, the
Commissioners think, that 1t Is not neceS-
sary for them to call upon the citizens for
contributions for 4th of July celebration
this year. Last year nearly s., 500 and weeks
of time were required to make the celebra-
ton a success. Next year a celebration on
even a larger scale will be planned, it Ia
said.

PERMITS FOR FIREWORKS.
Mai. Sylvester and Fire Marshal to
Supervise the Issue.

1t was decided by the Commissioners to-
day that permits for the storage and sale
of fireworks for the coming Fourth of July
shall be issued under the supervision OF
Fire Marshal Sidney Bieber and Maj. Syl-
vester superintendent of the metropolitan
police. Mr. Bieber will have charge of APP
plications for storage of explosives and
Maj Sylvester will supervise the permits
for sale of fireworks.
The draft of new regulations to govern
the storage of fireworks, which was pre-
pared by the fire marshal and submitted to
the Commissioners will not be acted upon
Immediately. The reason given for the de-
lay In action upon the proposed regulation
is that-the time Is too short to permit of
their proper consideration before July 4.
Before regulations can be legally adopted
they must also be advertised for a period of
thirty days.
The permits for the sale and storage of
fireworks will be similar to those issued last
year. Applications for permits should be
made to Fire Marshal s tney Bieber at his
office, 467 c street nortp est.
