The keneral committee arranging
for the Fourth of July celebration,
at the meeting in the city hall last
night, was able to outline a general
program. This program will be fill
ed out in more detail tomorrow or
Thursday and will be published in
full. Before this can be done, how
ever, 1t Is absolutely necessary for
every orgar' m intending to
march, that hai done so, to noti-
fy the grand N rshal, Thomas F.
Burke, by tonight and not later than
tomorrow morning, that they may
be assigned a place in the line. Mr..
Burke wants definite information as
to what organizations intend to take
part by tonight.
Children Meet at 0 O'Clock.
Another matter that 1t was de-
sired to bring out prominently was
the fact that the school children are
TO meet at their respective schools
at o'clock sharp on the morning of
the Fourth instead of 9:45 o'clock,
as was announced by the teachers
before school closed. When the
time was first fixed it was not known
that flags and copies of the Declara-
tion of Independence were to be dis
tributed and few remarks made at
each school before starting for the
general procession. AS this will re-
quire little additional time 1t was
decided last night to have the chill
dren meet at the schools at o'clock
In the morning instead of 9:45
o'clock
Mayor Bollschweiler also wishes
1t announced that the final meeting
of the general committee will be
held at the city hall Friday night,
when all the arrangements are ex-
pected to be completed.

The Procession.
The general plan of the procession
will be as follows: First, automo-
biles. AS the machines move much
faster than the parade on foot It is
expected the automobiles will make
a procession by themselves, getting
far ahead of the rest. At the head
of the procession on foot will be the
grand marshal, Thomas r. Burke
with two Grand Army veterans. The
80, 4,,o, - ~ ohtfdrnV
firemen, American societies and for
eign societies. Those wanting cos
tunes for the grotesque division OF
the parade can secure them from
Chester Gillis.
The Line of March.
The line of march as finally set
tied upon last night is as follows;
Forming at the City Hall Park the
procession will pass down High
street to Lewis, to Madison avenue,
to Market street, to Prospect, to New
Brunswick avenue, to Fayette street,
to High. to Washington, to State, to
Wayne, to Parker, to Chauncey, to
State, to Hall avenue, to Charles
street, to Huntington, to Catherine,
to Hall avenue, to State street, to
Smith to the City Hall Park and dis
band.
The reviewing stand at the park
will be occupied by the city officials
during the parade. 1t was at first
planned to have the judges there,
too, but as 1t would be difficult to
get the whole procession to pass
that point in proper order, as that
is the point of forming and disband-
ing, It has been decided to erect a
stand especially for the judges at
State and Fayette streets. This Is q
point where the whole parade will
pass twice and the judges will have
an excellent opportunity to view the
whole thing, and, If any doubts ex-
ist after the first passing, they can
see II again as 1t returns.
Afternoon Program.

held In City Hall Park at 4 o'clock In

time will be occupied by the general
