Memorable Anniversaries of the
Fourth In the Quaker City.
John Adams rightly prophesied when
he wrote of. the initial Independence
day that it would '.be the most memo
rable epoch In the history of America"
81 am apt to believe he said. that it
will be celebrated by succeeding gen.
erations as the great anniversary fes-
tival 1t ought to be commemorated as
the day Of deliverance by solemn acts
of devotion to God Almighty: il ought
to be solemnized with pomp and pa
rade, with shows, games, sports, guns.
bells, bonf1res and Examinations from
one end Of the continent to the other
from this time forward forevermore.s
The following year, TIT, congress re-
solved that Independence day should
be made holiday, and this was the
first Fourth of July celebration in Phil
adelphia. 1t was 80 successful that it
was taken up In every state In the
Union.
On July 4, 1888, the United States es-
tablished a new constitution with be-
coming ceremony. On July 4, 1926,
Thomas Jefferson and John Adams Law
dead, and great sorrow was observed
throughout the country and especially
In Philadelphia.
On July 4, 1853, Edward Everett in
speaking Of the great memorial day of
1776 said: "Eighty-two years ago this
day a deed which neither France nor
England, Greece nor Rome. ever wit
messed was done in Independence hall,
In the city Of Philadelphia, a deed that
cannot be matched In the history of the
world. That old hall should forever
be kept sacred as the scene of such
deed. Let the rains Of heaven distilI
gently on its roof and the storms of
winter beat softly ON its door. AS each
successive generation of those who
have been benefited by the great Dec
laration made within its walls shall
make their pilgrimage to that shrine,
may they think it not unseemly to call
its walls salvation and its gates
praisew
Early ON the evening Of July 8, 1876,
throngs Of people, estimated at $4,000
or $4,000, gathered about Independence
hall to celebrate the one hundredth an
niversary of Independence day. On
this occasion the Declaration Of indie
, bendence was read to the people By
Richard Henry Lee, the grandson of
Richard Henry Lee, who offered the
resolution. In September, 1885, the
governors Of the thirteen original col
onies came to Independence hall to
make preparation to celebrate the one
hundredth anniversary Of the promul-
CATION of the constitution Of the United
! States, one of the most impressive GER
emonies ever witnessed and participant
! ed in by the citizens of Philadelphia

THE FIRST
FOURTH in THE
PHILIPPINES

N the Fourth of July, 1899"
writes a soldier who was
49, with General Otis in Manila
on that day, ''the main part
of the American troops were away in
the interior of the Philippines. strung
out on long lines In front of an active
enemy. All our outposts were close to
the native camps. Not only the men
on post and In actual touch with the
enemy, but the reserves as well, were
under strict orders to be ready at a
minutes notice to meet an attack,
Fourth or no Fourth. These orders
were obeyed By the way, up In San
Fernando General YoungAs men were
treated to Fourth of July salute from
across the lines. The Fflipinos opened
a fusillade about shutdown and out
ciassed ell the firecracker fends Of Ma
Mia In getting up a celebration racket.

troops In the Viscayas-that is, In Ce-

risons were but handfuls in COMPARE

PATRIOTIC DECORATIONS.

Fourth of July Suggestions From the
Holidays Birthplace.
The Philadelphia Record gives these
suggestions for Fourth Of July decora-
tons:
For the adornment of the piazza the
ever popular japanese lanterns are
always at hand, but many timid wo-
man fears to have the f1imsy things so
near the light dresses Of her guests. For
those who object to paper lanterns
there are little affairs made of colored
glass in tin frames. These give quite
as pretty an effect as the Japanese lam
terms and are not in danger of catching
fire whenever a stray breeze destroys
their equilibrium. The Japanese Ian
terms may then be used under the trees
and around the gardens.
Toy balloons give novel effect
around piazza, alternating with the
lamps. They may be tied to the porch
railing and put at varying heights.
On account of the probabilities of
thunderstorms and the general confu-
sion of the lawn, due to the fragments
of fireworks, the hostess generally
plans to serve her luncheon in the
house.
An attractive table planned by one
hostess had a centerpiece consisting of
a vase filed with little American flags.
Around the base of the vase were
banked a mass of red and white gera-
NUNS, with some clusters of blue rag
ged robins; from the centerpiece chains
| Of red. white and blue paper trailed
about the table and were also draped
| in festoons from the chandelier.
At each place round the table there
was a rasp roll with flag stuck In the
top. The doihes were Of white grape
paper edged with red and blue: the
place cards were tied with patriotf
ribbons to miniature cannon; the indi
vidual salts were small shells. WIN,
dishes filed with torpedoes coutatnin.
candted cherries were placed at inter
walls. and bundles Of frecrackers, hold
ing chocolates were laid at each plate
The dishes were garnished with red
white and blue frtnges. The Ice cream
was In blocks of strawberry, panill
and pistache; the bonbons, at dessert
were candied cherries, peppermint
drops and candied violets, and the lad
fingers were tied with red, white an
blue ribbons
Another hostess had to have minis
ture Liberty bells for favors, and he
Ice cream was In the shape Of Lit

that had a, mission in the Philippines

crescent shaped plaza overlooking the
beach. There the bands play for the
populace, and there all the parades and
public demonstrations are held It was
crowded like country fair ground on
prize day.
ION the Luneta were held the formal
exercises, without which no Fourth Of
July celebration Is complete. School
boys In holiday attire gathered around
the band stand made the most pictur-
esoue feature Of the scene. There was

ruses at home would have been put TO
the blush by that performance on the
Luneta. The soldiers cheered as only

FOURTH OF JULY FLAGS.
Where They Are Made and What
They Cost.

Where They Are Made and What
They Cost.
Two-thirds Of the national flags that
are sold east of Chicago are manufac-
tured in New York. The manager Of
one large factory in Grand street says
that 100000 flags are sold in New York
city alone every Fourth Of July.
Memorial day is scarcely out Of the
way before the business of the Fourth
sets in. Most of the small flags sold
for Memorial day are left In cemete-
ries and of course are not available
for the national holiday. The most pop
ular flag for the general trade is little
muslin affair about foot square which
sells in the candy stores for cents.
Hundreds of women and girls are en-
ployed all winter making these small
flags. They make big flags also, but
this is q branch Of the work trusted
only to skilled hands The girls are
kept at work on the small flags in sizes
of from four inches square to four feet.
That is the largest size in which the
cheaper grade of flag is made. The lit
tie pine sticks to which they are fas-
tened come from the northwest They
are shipped in great bales, each stick
OF uniform length, from the humber dis
tricts. The manufacturers saw them
Into sizes to suit their trade.
A flag Of STANDARD bunting, such as
is used for street decorations and In
ciubrooms, costs anywhere from SIS 10
VAC, according TO sine Some OF the
huge flags stretched ACROSS the streets
In political campaigns cost from $50 to
$75. These are made on frames, six or
eight women working on a single Tag
at one time. 1t takes six women about
three weeks to finish large flag. The
construction of Old Glory requires
more care than one would suppose. II
the bars are not served even the Gag
will look like bunch Of BARRIERS poles
when II is hung, and the manufactures
has 1t thrown back on his hands.
Silk flags, such as are made for ma.
tional guardsmen and for presentation
purposes, are quite another proposition.
The cheapest sort Of silk flag costs
$500, and 1t may run to $500 without
producing anything very elaborate. The
red and white bars for the best silk
. flags are made abroad. The difference
In cost depends mainly on whether the
decorations are in gold or silver The
stars must be white, Of course, but II
makes all the difference whether they
are OF sterling silver or silver plate
