A fascinating feature of cruise

Sunday Sermons Requested.

In a circular issued by the joint COM
mittee of the Board of Trade and Cham
Der of Commerce, which has charge of
the safe and sane celebration of Inde-
pendence day, an appeal is made to the
clergy of Washington by the committee
on decorations that a patriotic sermon
be preached to their parishioners Sunday

1t is of interest in connection with
plans for the local safe and sane cele-
bration OF the Fourth TO know what other
cities of the country are doing TO lessen
the destruction of life and the manning of
thousands of innocents. Some cities have
altogether prohibited the sale Of the toy
pistol, while others have set a limit to
the size of the giant firecracker.

Quietest Ever Known.

But it is confidently expected-and prob
ably expectations will be exceeded-that
this Fourth of July will be the quietest
Washington has ever known. The small
boy feels agrieved most naturally. and
next Monday will be to him, no doubt, a
waking nightmare and a horrid thing
an extra Sunday added to the longtsh list
of tifty-tWo.
But heat-worn heads and fretted nerves
will rest, and those grownup children
who enjoyed their Fourthly fun in the
noisy days of long ago won't feel. no mat
ter what in sympathy they say, SO very
cross.
Sunday next is the really truly Fourth
Of July according to fact and the calen-
dar. But one were liable to forget it, as
practically all the Independence day cele-
brating has been planned for Monday,
the 5th.
But there will be some patriotic observ-
ances this coming Saturday, for the
statue in memory OF Gen. Stephenson,
erected at Market space, will be unveiled
at $50 pm. and there will be besides
patriotic sermons III many churches.

Two Safe and Sane Cities.

Baltimore and Toledo have practically
abolished all fireworks, the result being
the almost total elimination of accidents
in those cities. Owing TO the large num-
Der of fatalities last year in Cleveland,
that city has passed an ordinance pro-
hibiting fireworks. but business interests
made strenuous efforts toward it's repeal.
In st. Paul, Detroit and other cities
efforts have been made 10 change to d
safe and sane form of celebration. At
ST.. Paul last year before the Fourth a
mammoth children's meeting was held in
the Auditorium, which holds 10000 people.
Here bands of music played patriotic airs,
flags were displayed In profusion, confetti
was si:oWered from the boxes and gal
leries and ii general good time was had
by every body. TO each child were given
number OF coupons which on the Fourth
entitled them to toys, flags, refreshments
and uther lhngs on presentation.

Do But Await Monday.

NO FIREWORKS TO BE SOLD
Small Boy Not Altogether in Line

With the glorious Fourth but couple
Of days ahead. all public-spirted citizens
OF the District of Columbia are working
harder than ever for the contemplated
safe and sane celebration. an observance
of the day which promises to be both
unique and enjoyable.
Practically all plans have been made.
1t remains but to carry them out.
Certain it is that the Fourth this year, in
this neck o the woods at least, will not
be the regulation rp-snorting, rackety
bangety Independence day of yore.
No Fireworks Sold.
No fireworks are being sold in the Dis
trict during this particular holiday period.
In the windows of the most-everything
stores and shops where formerly the toy
cannon, the cap pistol, the torpedo, the
dynamite bomb and the devil chaser We're
displayed in cluttered attractiveness now
are seen nothing more dangerous than
the unstewed prune, the soothing tale,
flag.
OF course, this does not mean that the
Fourth in Washington will run noiselessly
on pneuma tics from early dawn to dark.
There are blind tigers for fireworks as
we'll as for firewater. and youth thirsts
for noise as old Rip Van Wrinkle yearned
for rum
Then. too, the mail-order houses have
been doing big business with local Gus
toners. particularly in night pyrotechnics,
for the use mostly of suburbanites who,
living distance from the pinwheel dis
trict of downtown, have planned little
displays of their own.

Prince Miguel

A silly American heiress, eager to wear I'll
tie, simpered and approved while go-betweens,
working for commissions, arranged for her
to marry Prince Miguel of Braganza He
isn't prince of anything but his title. But
the silly American heress wanted to wear the
title; the Prince was willing to sell it; the
go betweens wanted the commission; and the
match was made.
They married in Scotland, and their pic
lures have been in all the papers.
But listen: the Prince was in Paris, before
his wedding, and couldn't get away. He
lacked the money to pay his hotel bill, and
his travelling expenses to Scotland. He did
not fancy the idea of telegraphing to his in
tended for money to come to her on; SO he
borrowed the necessary amount from a bad
man who is now called an usurer.
Paying the hotel bill, and buying railroad
tickets, the rejoicing Prince set out to 90 to
his wedding The ceremonial was gorgeously
performed; and then the "UslMer" asked the
Prince for the payment promised.
The Prince refused, He pleaded usury
Doubtless there was unlawful interest
charged for the loan was risky, and the need
of the borrower most urgent.
But the Prince eagerly promised to pay
what was demanded, got the cash, skipped to
Scotland, welded the silly American heiress,
and then forced the lender to withdraw the
suit he had begun on the Princes onote, by
pleading "unlawful interest"
The Prince did not e0en tender to the
"Usu'ey" the actual sum loaned!
The lender in this case may be gripping
Usurer, and probably is,-but the law will
not allow me to print my opinion of this most
contemplate prince"
+. 81 see by another account of the Incl
dent that the 'EUsurer" was Vienna man,
and that the Princes aunts have announced
their willingness to pay the sum borrowed,
with reasonable interest thereon
Good for the old ladies They will prob
ably have as much contempt for their worth
less nephew as all right-minded people will
have, if he himself does not pay that debt
