THE LATEST NOVELTIES
FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY,

Ferris Wheel, seven feet high, running
 by electricity, and lighted by thirty
 two small incandeScent lights. This
 wheel is decorated in red, white and
 or together with the different novel;
 ties of the Fourth, make very attrac-
 tive feature. As this wheel revolves
 it has baskets with the latest penny
 novelties displayed, and keeps the chil-
 dren busy watching these baskets gO-
 ing round to see what is coming next.
 This window display showing many
 new novelties is certainly one of the
 most attractive windows that has ever
 been seen in that city, and is well
 worth seeing. Among the new things
 shown in the window are some new
 novelties in penny goods, McGinty,
 en Spray Crackers, Pike's Peak, Whis-
 tling Willies, Air Ship, Japanese Fire, Lizards, Coon Chasers, also many more
 that were shown last year, making very large variety. Among the five
 cent goods are Eagle Screamer, Sky
 Scrapper, Flying Bombs, Ping Pong,
 Golden Spray Cracker, Whistling
 Cracker, Peacock Plume, Loop the
 Loop, What Happened to Hooligan,
 and many others that were out last year. The ten cent variety is good
 this year. They show the Stromboli Fountain, Cascade, Aeolian, Mt Vesu-
 vius, Cracker Jack Volcano, Diamond
 Fountain, National Colors, Collins
 Retreat, Floral Bombets, and Navy
 Battery. One of the funniest things
 shown is torpedo called Son of Gun
 by name. By scratching this torpedo
 against hard substance and placing on the ground it will keep reporting for about one hundred times. 1t is
 very small article but very noisy one,
 and sells for five cents. There is also
 the carousal and Nigger Chaser, which are of similar nature, and go popping around on the ground for about one hundred times. These goods have never been seen before. They are per-
 fectly harmlesss but very amusing for
 children. Last year ammunition
 canes were very popular. People were
 buying these canes for their children
 because they were harmless. A wood
 cane with metal arrangement at the
 end, taking a small pellet of ammuni-
 tion placed in an iron receptacle, and striking some hard substance gives
 report as loud as blank. These canes
 plosion occurs at the feet and they
 range in price from five to ten cents.
 There is also 8 repeating cane that comes, shooting fifty shots with one filling. These retail for ten cents. ex- tra ammunition for same, five cents for fifty shots. There is also a special extra large size ammunition cane, re- port of same equal to a as blank There are fifty shots in package of ammunition. This cane retails for ten cents. One of the cutest things seen this year in the way of pretty toy is a running wheel with a stick about | lnnp Q f., along the sidewalk, and it will shoot common paper caps fifteen times with one loading. This makes very nice article for child because 1t is not near their face and eyes, and Sells for ten cents; 250 caps to go with this article, five cent extra. In the way of can. mons there are two sizes that shoot large paper caps. The cap is placed in the breech of the cannon and string at taehed to the hammer When released will spring against the cap and ex- mensely. One of the largest assort- ment of iirecrackers eyer seen is dis played tp their windows. Prom the baby cracker to the mammoth giant cracker are shown. There seems to have been a great deal of complaint in previous years of common fire crackers not going off, and it seems they have been getting the crackers down so cheap that they don't amount to much, but if you want to get good cracker, something that you can de- come in packs with tifty-two to three thousand crackers in a kJrine and are the finest cracker that the market can produce to-day. Among the torpedoes which range in sizes from one as large as an ordinary marble to one as large as an apple, the Golden Dragon seems to be the leader. There are a great many kinds of torpedoes and yog will find very large assortment to choose from. On the side walls of the win dow are showna great many different kinds of wheels: Pin wheels, rosette wheels, triangular wheels and vertical wheels. Right.next to these are shown hs0 Nov these ecsa are very pretty and when lighted go up in the shape of an umbrella to the height of fifty feet, and go down with great sizzing noise which makes very pretty effect at night. In the north window can be seen great variety of sky rockets, from the little penny one up to six or eight pounder. Common Roman candles, everyone knows what theysa are, and the Union candle which when fired UlrOWS three COlOTS lQUO the dlr aU one time which makes very pretty effect. The F. B. Beach Go. have added to theirs immense line of previous years the Pain Fire Works goods of which they have large assortment.
