SANE OBSERVANCE
OF JULY FOURTH
Safety of Man and Beast
To Be Considered This
Year.
lSUPT. BAILEY'S OPINION
BELIEVES THAT DANGEROUS
FORMS FIRE WORKS SHOULD
GIVE OFFICIAL ORDER.

Within a few days, set of orders
governing the small boys observance
of the Glorious Fourth" will be pro-
mulgated by making it safer for man
and beast in Richmond on that day
Heretofore, Richmond has had long
list of Fourth of July accidents each
year and it is the intention of Supt.
Bailey to minimize the chance for
casualties.
The orders will restrict the celebra-
ton, along the line of noise, more
than they did last year. The big can
non crackers, of the kind containing
giant powder and dynamite. will be
on the "23" list. No revolvers or toy
pistols will be allowed and strict or
ders are placed against putting tor
pedoes on the street car tracks. Last
year, this ear-splitting amusement
caused more runaway accidents than
all other kind of fireworks
Length of Crackers.
The length limit" for cannon
crackers has not been decided upon.
but it is thought that cracker over
five or six inches long will be too
much for Young America to handle.
The question whether the sale of the
giant crackers can be restricted is
not established but Supt Bailey will
announce that point soon. Any dealer
found selling or who is known to
have sold loaded cartridges Or blanks,
to minor, will be subject to a fine.
Other fireworks. such as rockets
Roman candles End display pieces
for the evening can be used as de
sired. Cannons will probably be al
lowed.

work complete that was admirable
and the volume would have been a
credit to the city. 1t could not pos
sibly sell for less than 81, and it
would. therefore, be necessary to get
1000 advance subscriptions to insure
the meeting of the expense.
Whether this number of subscriptions
could be procured is uncertain. By
some it is thought advisable to in
crease the cost and lessen the number
of subscribers. Thore must be liber-

be surrendered. The matron stated
last night that DIR. Mother felt that
there were other places fully as good

She was asked if she knew where
Dr.. Mother was. She at first stated
that she did not, then admitted that
she did, but did not care to make
known his whereabouts. She stated
that DIR. Mother was being done an
injustice by the stories circulated.
Some time ago the Palladium print
ed a statement brought to this office
by friends of DIR. Mother, to the effect
that the doctor would return and face
any charge that might be placed
against him. The matron of the hos
pital was asked last night IL it were
not true that this statement was given
to the Palladium as a blind to throw
off the authorities. She declared that
it was not and that at the time the
statement was made, DR.. Mother was
fully determined to return. She said
she was not familiar with the business

THE PUBLICATION
OF CITY HISTORY
Not Yet Decided Whether 1t
Will Have To Be
Abandoned.
ASSOCIATION TO MEET
THE GENERAL BODY WILL PASS
UPON THE ADvlSABILlTY OF
CONTINUING PREPARATIONS
FOR THE WORK.

The committee from the Richmond
Centennial Association which has had
In charge the preparation of the histo-
~ of Richmond, which 1t is proposed
10 publish during the present sum-
mer or early in the fall. held a special
meeting yesterday to consider the pro-
iect.
Owing to the fact that the financial
support for the Centennial project is
not forthcoming from the city, as was
expected, 1t is a question whether the
publication of the historical work
should be undertaken. The only
means by which it can be carried
through to success is by procuring in
advance of the publication a sufficient
nuIaber of subscribers for the work.
The cost of the history publication
will approximately be $1,000 for print
Ing and binding.
The matter will be prepared gratis
by the numerous persons who have
been assigned certain parts of the
work. Much OF it already has been
completed; much more is partly com
pleted and things were going along
swimmingly when the question OF
finances interviewed.
Matter Left Unsettled.
The committee discussed the matter
very fully and decided that 1t would
be best for the general Centennial
Committee to take action. President
Hodgin, of the Centennial Associa
ton will call meeting during the
present week and the question OF pro
feeding or abandoning the history
project will be settled.
The history would be of much value

and so 1t happened that nothing but
a little headstone marked the grave
of Mary Washington when Lafayette
visited this country in 1925"
Agitation in behalf Of monument
to Mary Washington crystallized in
1880, when the people Of Fredericks-
burg raised $4,000 by subscription,
and were proceeding with the collec-
tion Of the necessary sum, when sSilas
e. Burroughs, New York banker,
wrote to Thomas Goodwin, mayor OF
Fredericksburg, and asked the honor
Of being allowed to build the monu-
ment, saying in part:
Il feel a great interest that the
ashes of this good American mother
should remain where they are, and ]
wish to be allowed the honor Of ipdl-
yidually erecting the monument

There are, many intimate ties be-
tween the national capital and the
quaint city OF Fredericksburg; be-
tween the majestic city Of the Poto-
mac and the ancient and distinguished
city Of the Rappahannock In the
haste Of the period and the careless
ness Of most persons toward things
historic the ties between Washington
and Fredericksburg are often cover
booked. It was the master spirit Of
the revolution who gave his name to
the capital Of the republic he helped
to create. The debt Of the city of
Washington TO George Washington Is
manifold, says the Washington Star.
Close by Washington are, score Of

shaded by heavy oak trees. It was
a shady place In the days Of Mrs
Washington, and the trees that shield
ed her from the sun survived till 1852,
when they were torn to death by the
storm Of shot that rolled over the
grave Of the mother Of the country's
father.
Susan Riviere Hetzel, In her "His.
tory Of the Mary Washington Asso.
ciation," following very closely Marion
Harland's "Story Of Mary Washing
ton" writes Of the funeral as follows:
Business was suspended in the city
Of Fredericksburg; crepe hung from
the houses. The church was thronged
with her friends and neighbors. Her
body was followed by her loving
daughter and grandchildren to the
place chosen by herself for her last
resting place, near the granite bowl
The Globe-republican., 1906-02-15

/ der now called Oratory rock, where
she loved to retire and pray for her
beloved son during the troublous days
of the revolution.
The mourning was general all over
the country, press and pulpit made
note Of the event. Members of Con-
Gress wore crepe for thirty days as
for distinguished official. Congress
passed resolution to erect monu-
ment to the mother of Washington,
and to that resolution Gen. Washing
ton responded in note of thanks,
adding:
I attribute all my success in life
to the moral, intellectual and physical
education whichll received from my
mother
How the government fulfilled this
resolution may be seen when one re-
calls that hundred years interviewed
between the passage of the resolution
and the building of the monument by
private subscription. In truth, the
work of forming a new republic was
no small task. Washington's admins
trations were hampered by the Indian
wars, the whisky instruction and
Shay's rebellion; Adams term was
taken up with the French troubles
and the threatened war with the direc-
tory; Jefferson's administration was
filled with the wars with the pirates

TarIsiO Was Found Dead Surrounded
by Valuable Instruments.
Violin makers now and again come
upon pieces Of wood of phenomenal
resonance and beauty, and when they
do we may be sure they give special
care to the making and finishing of the
instrument formed of the wood. Strad-
ivarius, at any rate, did. In 1716 he
had a piece of luck in this particular,
and his luck Went into an instrument
with which he fell so much in love that
he absolutely refused to sell it or allow
it to be played upon by any hands but
his own. He kept it locked up. and
when he died at the advanced age Of
ninety-three he bequeathed it to his
sons. BY and by an enthusiastic col
lector named Salabue got on the scent
of this instrument, and about the year
176O he acquired it-at what figure is
not known-frOm one Of the great
mans sons.
Salabue cherished It until his death,
about 1927, and then a strange charac-
ter appears on the scene as purchaser.
This was an eccentric old fellow named
Luigi TarisiO, who, abandoning his
trade as carpenter, had started collect
ing old vIolins and was now searching
In every nook and corner Of Italy for
the treasures Of Cremona. He could
neither read nor write. this enthusfas-
tic collector, but he could tell a valua-
BILE fiddle the moment he saw it. and
be estimated the worth Of the Salabue
"Strad" so well that after he had ac-
quired it he kept it to himself with all
the loving care that its maker had al
ready shown for it. Tarisio lived en-
tireIy alone in a wretched garret in
Milan, and one day in the year 1854 his
neighbors found him lying dead among
a confused heap Of CremOnas. The old
man had amassed a collection Of some
25O instruments, the result Of a thirty
years hunt" and. although he had
started life a penniless carpenter, he
died worth about f12,000.-COrnhill.

there will be no need of a selection

the chances is very lively.
A few months ago the president
practically offered the place to Rear

would benefit the service by his
change to the other Bureau.

successor to Admiral Converse,

officers in control Of the navy, and
