A Nevada man having extensive
mining claims in the Goldfcld region
tells of II lucky strike that was made
last year near Carson City. u strike that
proved to be of such promise that q
goodly sized camp Immediately sprang
up around it.
The two principal mine owners were,
respectively an lrishman and jew
and, as compliment to these leading
citizens the camp decided to leave to
them the bcstowal Of u suitable name
upon tho new community.
There followed many conferences he.
tween tho two. none Of which resulted
in an agreement. Tho Irishman stood
ont for name that should suggest his
native isle, while the jew was just as
insistcnt, on his part, for II name that
should bc suggestive of the chosen
people. This deadlock continued so
long that the rest Of tho camp grew
restless, and finally insisted that there
should be compromise. so the now
camp was called "Tippcrusalcm.'

cent new home. which was so patrioucal-
ly dedicated on the Fourth of July
The fag-ends of several OF the Offices

mains 10 complete the work or moving is
to transfer the effects Of the press rep

SANE FOURTHS ARE DESIRED
Commissioner Maefarland Suggests
New Plan of Celebration.
Would Prohibit the Sale of Fire
works and Explosives in the
District OF Columbia.

There will be no moro burned fingers,
court-plastered cheeks, or scurrying am
balances on the Glorious Fourth" If
land made yesterday should be carried
out by the city officials in conjunction
with the residents
The plan suggested Is that each year
the citizens unite IN a common fund 20
celebrate the Fourth Of July, which cele-
bratlon shall be under the direction OF
the Board of Trade and the Chamber Of
Commerce. In this event the sale Of fire
works would be forbidden In the District
This idea. evolved from the brain OF
the Commissioner after the great success
OF the general celebration on Saturday
Is believed 10 be one worthy Of consid-
Grafton.
1t Is pointed out that the injuries and
deaths may be avoided. Commissioner
Macfarland said yesterday:
In 1904 the Commissioners organized
such a celebration with a meeting on the
front lawn OF the White House. with
Admiral Dewey, Ambassador Jusserand
and Secretary Moody among the speak
ers. and a military parade arranged and
led by the Chief OF the United States
army. and fireworks at the Washington
Monument in the evening. The citizens
made that celebration n great success.
we hoped that the civic and patriotic
organizations would take Il up the next
year ana perpetuate II, but there has
been no general celebration since until
Saturday. and for several years the Old
est Inhabitants Association provided the
only celebration of the day. latterly,
under the hospitality OF Crosby S. Moves
at Alton Farm.
I have one other suggestion 70 make
and that IS that all citizens put their fire.

the general display OF aerial fireworks
which might be done by day as well as
by night. If enough money were provided
Then I would forbid the sale OF fire.
works az retail and refuse % suspend the
law against the shooting of pistols and
the use OF explosives. I think Washing
ton should set the example 20 the country
of celebrating the Fourth Of July without
manning or possibly killing its citizens
Fortunately. no deaths resulted on Satur-
day but II is bad enough that twenty
six persons were officially reported as
wounded. besides others whose cases were
not brought 20 official attention.

MANY VISIT LUNA PARK.
New Vaudeville Bill Proves an
Attraction.

Attraction.
Luna Park was thronged last night
with merry pleasure-seekers. and the
vaudeville show was the center Of much
interest at the opening performance Of
the weeks bill. which was good in every
detail The Chinese impersonatlon Of
John Chinese" Leach was a novelty, and
his act was full Of humorous sayings and
expressions.
Adelaide Francis. though handicapped
by the nOnarrival Of her costumes. sang
several selections in a well trained, clear
soprano voice. and made an instaneous
success. Pettingill and De Forrest, come
dians, gave a singing and dancing act
that was excellent. The Sawada Japs.
who made such hit with their hand and
foot juggling act last week. repeated their
former success.
Prof. Sineays dog and cat pantomlme
is one which should take with all lovers
Of these household pets. containing as il
does some fine specimens Of both. and
being a display Of almost human intel
ligence In these animals.
There is no doubt that Washington is
full of lovers Of good music, if one can
judge from the crowds that flock 10 hear

Regimental Band. which plays selections
from none but the most famous com

STORIES OF BISHOP POTTER.
One of Them Recalls n Time When
He Was "Poor but Honest

A ty7enty-hve-year episcopate generally
develops a choice crop OF stories about a
bishop, II he be a man OF parts. as Bishop
Potter Is one OF the best Of them
is one the latter tells on himself
He had gone 10 a country parish
and had been entertained at the
house of the principal member Of his
church. Going away. he forgot 70 put
back TO their place on the bureau the
little silver ornaments which he had re-
moved to a place in the drawer that hV
might put his own belongings there in
stead. He had not got home before a
telegram reached him asking about the
missing silver. Promptly the bishop tele-
graphed back: Poor but honest. Look in
the bureau drawer
This was before the bishop married Mrs
Clark
The bishop tells a good one on the
House Of Bishops. 1t was on the occasion
Of the 1892 convention. which met in Bal
timore. II was Bishop Brooks first and
last convention as member Of the House
Of Bishops. and apparently he was not
greatly impressed. His seat chanced one
day to be near the door as the Bishop Of
New York was leaving the house. Pluck
ing the bishops sleeve and drawing him
down TO him. he whispered In his ear:
Henry, is Il always as dull as this?

Plans TODAY

About so farmers are in session In
the rooms of the Commercial club this
afternoon considering the plans sub
mitted for the construction of the cleo
trio line from Dayton to Wallula, the
work to be done by farmers along the
route, and payment to be taken in
stock of the company. The report or
the committee in which was named

manager and MIR. Hanger of Dayton,
as vice president and assistant general
manager, was adopted at the afternoon
session, and at the time of going 10
press Dr. Blalock was explaining his
views regarding the construction work.
A meeting of members of the Farm
ers' union was held in the Orpheum
theater building this morning, but IS
it was a secret session, nothing can
be learned as to what was done, and
the developments of this afternoons S
session were cut into by the unan-
nounced change of meeting from the
Orpheum theater to the Commercial
club rooms.
