his dinner. When later on came Mr..
Small arose to make his address of well
come, and introduce the speakers.
Il just want to extend to you all a
word of welcome" he said. "and to con-
gratulate you on the good attendance at
this outing. There is not going to be a
talkfest AS Mr.. Lothrop was elected
mayor, etiquette would compel me to call
on him as the first speaker. but he wishes
to be excused. I therefore take great
pleasure In introducing to you. not the
mayor of Washington, although he may
be some day. but the president of the
board of Commissioners of the District.
Commissioner Macfarland."
Mr.. Macfarland Speaks.
The mention of Commissioner Macfar-
lands name was greeted with long-con-
tinued applause. Standing on his chair.
Mr. Macfarland delivered an address.
which made visible impression on his
hearers and was the subject OF much
praise during the rest of the day. Be-
ginning with a witty allusion to the
thirty-nine fugitives from Washington
who went down on the early boat. bring
ing with them the thirty-nine articles. he
said that he regretted there were not
enough Episcopalians present to applaud
his remarks. Among these articles. he
said. was the red paint with which they
painted the town of Marshall Hall. and
the dinner which was being so gradually
served"
The first alluson to the slow service of
the dinner caused much merriment. and
afterward each speaker We'd with the
others in further witty comment. Com
missioner Mcfarland referred to the re-
cent excursion of the other body whose
name cannot be mentioned here" and
told an amusing incident of an old Con-
federate soldier who agreed to accept a
tip saying that he would give the money
to the church gradually"
This was likewise a reference to the
dinner. and the Commissioner added
that the slow service was the fault
of the mayor OF Marshall Hail. and was
due to the evils of one-man rule. He said
that in the revision OF the tariff he
hoped the members of Congress pres
ent would put the Board Of Trade
and the Chamber of Commerce on the
free list, and assured them that they
would be put on the free list at he
coming base ball game for the benefit
of the Fairgrounds Association.
Safe and Sane Fourth.
The Commissioner than made an %.

peal for contributions to the fund for
safe and sane Fourth of July cele-
bration. and said that the Comm sslon- :
ers were determined that Washington.
the capital, should set an example to
the rest of the country to how to
have a really glorious Fourth without
the long list of deaths and accidents
due to the "barbarous" methods of cell
ebration that have been in vogue up
to the present. The Fourth. he said
should be celebrated in an American
and not in Chinese fashion.
Mr.. Mcfarland then told of the great
work that had been done by the resi-
ward building up the capital of the
country. He explained that under Tie
present arrangement of taxation in the
District the residents of Washington
pay $16 per capita toward the main
tenance Of the National Capital, and
about 8 cents. He asked what the
result would be If the people outside
Of the capital would pay little more.
perhaps II or IA cents each per year.
He predicted that the time would come
when the constitutionality of the act re-
cedng to Virginia that portion of the
District on the other side of the Potomac
would be tested by the Supreme Court.
and expressed the opinion that the court
would decide the act unconstitutional and
restore the territory to the District. He
praised the high commercial standing of
Washington's business men: declared that
by the operation of the civil service the
best men and women of the entire coun-
try were brought to the District. and pre-
dicted that Washington would before
many years have a million inhabitants.
