INDEPENDENCE DAY
 PLANS LAUNCHED

freparallOnS TOT the ODSerF- ance of the nations birthday on July 4 were launched at a pub lie meeting held in Chamber of Commerce H a l l Thursday evening. With Chas. F. Sand ford presiding as chairman, the following committees were named to have charge of the various celebration activities:
 Finance: E. D. Haddon and N. M. Traversy.
 Program: H. w. Thomas and L. c. Thornton.
 Decorations: B. F. Doggett, with authority to select necess- ary assistants.
 Refreshments: Holger John son.
 It was the view of the meet ing that the program should be devoted principally to approp- riate entertainment for the juvenile elements of the com munity and along the lines of last years celebration pro- gram.
 The program outlined will in- clude an extensive variety of field sports for the youngsters in addition to at least one soft ball game between Hyder and Stewart teams.
 Among Suggestions offered concerning the latter feature was a proposal to ginger up" the game by placing a case of Americas new 3.2 beer on third base as an inducement to the players to reach that point as often as possible, but the scheme was found impractic- able and was abandoned.
 Arrangements have also been concluded for holding an "in- ternationaP' base ball game in the evening. For this contest Hyder will import a special battery of highly efficient players to overcome the local dearth of good pitchers and catchers, according to the com mittee.
 The big dance to be given by the Pioneers of Alaska in Pio- neer Hall will round out the days festivities.
 The children's sports are scheduled to start at l p. m, and will be followed by the soft ball contests. The base ball game will start at 7 p. m
 Cash prizes will be given tc winners of the children's con, tests as usual. Starting with balance of $15 from previou. celebrations, the committee in charge of financial arrange ments has already raised am pie funds by subscription to fl nance the program.

himself, broke out an armful Of cotton waste,
grabbed can of oil and proceeded to clean
and polish his 3-inch gun, after which he as

the pilot house whom he saluted smartly, much
to the officers surprise, such ceremonial being
generally neglected in the intimacy of a small
patrol boat. "Sir," began Shorty brayely, II

You know that's entirely contrary to regu-
lations, Shorty" said the skipper sternly.
Shorty hisitated; then he saluted again.
'It's very important, sir, for me to go ashore
tonight" He paused while the skipper looked
at him expectantly. "You see, a girl promised
to bake cake, and wanted to get it for your
mess"
The officer considered. That's thoughtful Of

ROME, February 2, 1888.


- Y the express order of Cardinal Eugen.
Pacelh, secretary Of state every resi-
Il dent of the City of the Vatican and Of
all its dependencies throughout Italy,
has been furnished with a copy Of
what might be called the constitution
and bylaws of the new temporal sovereignty
OF the Holy See. The document defines, briefly
and plainly the system of government provided
by the special rescript Of Plus XI known as
the "Di Nostro Moto Proprio," and now filed in
the archives Of the Vatican. The new papal
state is an absolute monarchy in miniature
Harking back to the old traditions Of the tenn
poral power as 1t existed before the events
of September, 1870, all authority is vested in
the Pope, whose acts may not be questioned
by any human agency. He delegates his powers
as civil ruler to governor and central
council. The latter consists of president and
three members. It is reported that the Pope
will appoint as the first president of this coun-
Gil Signor Guglielmo Marconi the famous in
ventor The Office is largely an honorary one,
for its occupant need not be citizen or even
a resident of the City of the Vatican; he is
not subject to the rules governing the ordinary
functionaries Of state and he receives no salary.
The budget of the papal state is prepared
by the governor and the Central Council. Only
the final sanction of the Pope, however, gives
the budget its legal force The Vatican keeps
a most vigilant eye on its appropriations and
all its expenditures, and every item exceeding
SO 900 lire Qess than $4,000 must go through
a second auditing in the Office Of the secretary
of state If any legal disputes arise between
residents or citizens of the Vatican they are
referred to court of arbitration, whose judg-
ment is final except for an appeal to the Pope
in cases of unusual importance. The new papal
state has its own bureau of vital statistics,
department for the registration of all its citi-
zens and an Office for the supervision OF
strangers who apply for permit of residence
or card of identity.
The Vatican has the right to claim exemp-
tion from service in the italian army even for
its lay employees, but it exercises this right
rarely giving its functionaries of military age
an extra vacation with half pay If they wish
to take part in the annual exercises of reserve
troops This provision of course, applies only
to the so-called "reservists" and not to soldiers
in active sefvice in the army. There is
bureau for the issuing of passports and there
is also a custom house for the control Of
imports and exports. The custom officials In
