N THE OLDEN TIME.
CELEBRATION OF INDEPEND
ENCE DAY LONG AGO.
Sessian Band Furnished the Music
for the Firat Official Jollification
Noise in the Early Days Was Given
Secondary Place on Programme.
N ye olden time they cel
ebrated "independence
day" and not the
"Fourth or July." The
change of name came
with the change in the
manner of celebrating
the anniversary of the
signing of the declara
tion of independence.
Many people deplore the
present method of show
ing appreciation of na
tional freedom and deplore as well the
fact that the rising generation speaks of
the coming "Fourth" rather than of "In
lependence day," a name so pregnant
wirli meaning. Perhaps the people who
'deplore" are right.
One of the signers on that famous
Fourth of July, 1776, declared on his
Je.ithbed that he would like to sleep a
century, then wake up to find out how
future generations were celebrating Inde
pendence day. If the old gentleman s
wish were to be granted, when ne ncaru
the fish horns, the multitudinous snap
ping of John Chinaman red wrapped in
ventions, the reports of the dangerous
torpedoes and dynamite crackers he
might be willing enough to hurry back to
the tomb.
When some staid New Englander-finds
fault with the present method of cele
brating the nation's birthday the noise
mil king small boy may with good grace
tell him that New England's natron
saint, John Adams, recommended that
the day be recognized by just such a din
as young America is making. It is true,
howevet, that President John suggested
that the early part of the day should be
given over to solemn acts of devotion.
Then he said the day should be commem
orated "with pomp, parade, games,
sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illumina
tions from one end of the continent to
the other for evermore." Of the first
celebration of a Fourth of July by the
continental congress Adams in writing to
his daughter said: "The people shouted
and huzzahed in a way to strike utmost
terror to every lurking tory. There was
a splendid illumination and while a few
surly bouses were dark the show would
have given King George a heartache. '
Hessian Band Played.
On this first official celebration of
Fourth of July by Congress that body se
cured music for the day and at the same
time afforded the people a great chance
for amusement and laughter by forcing
the Hessian band, which was captured
by Washington at Trenton the December
previous, to play in the public square all
day long. There Is on record a fairly full
account of an Independence day celebra
tion which George Washington attended
as the guest of honor. The celebration
was held at the Spring gardens, near
AN
Alexandria, Va., "with a large company
of civil and military people of Fairfax
County."
Things were not particularly bright for
the colonial armies on the first anniver
sary of the declaration of independence.
The soldiers at Morristown heights, how
ever, under Washington's command each
received an extra gill of rum with his
ration in recognition of the day. The
third anniversary of the signing of the
declaration was made memorable by the
issuing of an order by the commander-in-chief
that all military prisoners under
the sentence of death should be pardoned.
Perhaps the most enthusiastic and
heartfelt celebrations of Independence
day did not take place on the dry itself.
News traveled slowly In the year 1776,
and It was some days before New York
knew that the country had been declared
free. When the pleasing information did
reach there, however, the town went
wild. The king's statue was pulled down
and melted up into bullets for the Ameri
can armies. Two or three days after
New York had given vent to its enthusi
astic feelings Boston celebrated. A Brit
ish army officer who was a prisoner in
the hnb at the time wrote an account of
the rejoicings of the "deluded people."
He was escorted by a band of patriots
to see the "goings on" and confesses that
he enjoyed the occasion as a break in a
rather monotonous life of captivity. The
crowd of Bostonlans tore down the lion
and the unicorn from the old headquar
ters of the British Government, after
ward the old Massachusetts state house.
It was not until after the signing of
tbjr treaty of peace with Great Britain
that celebrations of Independence day
were held regularly in all places. Dinners
were .avorite features of the day.' Ev
erybody was invited and it was seen to
that there was enough for all. The citi
zen sat down at the outdoor table with
out any fear that a cannon cracker was
to be exploded under him before he bad
finished his first course. Pandemonium
had not as yet come into general use as
a synonym for the features of the Fourth
of July. All through Virginia the public
and private feasts on Independence day
had as a dish what was known aa Bruns
wick soup or stew. The name probably
arose from a desire on the part of the
Virginia householders to suggest that the
kingly house of Brunswick was "in the
soup."
In the staid land of steady habits, 'Con
necticut, in the town of Hartford it was
the enstom for years to have a great
dinner "in the field." A newspaper of
100 johts or so ago gives an account at
READY TO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY.
one of these dinners and a list of twenty
toasts. The crack military companies of
the section were in attendance at the
dinner.
The Boston official dinners on Indepen
dence day were held In the hub's cradle
of liberty, Fanenil Hall. Edward Everett
Hale tells of one of the earliest Fourth of
July celebrations of his remembrance.
It was that of the year 1833, and on that
day for the first time a great chorus of
school children sang "My Country, 'Tis
of Thee."
Character of Celebration Changes.
It was just about this time that the
character of the celebration of the anni
versary of the birthday of American in
dependence began to change. Parades
were held as usnal, but noise began to
take the place of speeches and in the
larger towns of the reading of the declar
ation of independence, which had always
been a feature of tbe celebration. The
OLD-TIME INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION.
opening of trade with. China brought in
the small firecrackers and American fac
tories soon found the means of making
big ones. Noise assumed the scepter and
has reigned ever since. There is a strong
desire on the part of many people to-day
to change the character of the celebra
tion of Independence day and to make it
like unto that which it once was. All
sorts of plans have been suggested for a
more orderly and solemnly impressive
celebration of the republic's natal day.
The effort to change the methods of the
day's recognition are being exerted in a
virile way, and it may be that the pres
ent generation will live to find something
more in the Fourth of July than a picnic,
the explosion of a pack of crackers under
a tin pan or the rush of a rocket which,
like too many Independence day celebra
tions, ends in a "stick."
A Bang-Up Time.
Value or Patriotic Celebrations.
It is sometimes hard work and a good
deal of expense, especially in small and
not well-to-do communities, to get up a
Fourth of July celebration; but every
gathering of this sort pays the largest
kind of interest on the investment in the
cultivation of the spirit of patriotism and
the proper education of boys and girls in
the theory and practice of Fourth of
July celebrations and similar observances
that shall mean more than a simple good
time.
Au Episode of tbe Fourth.
Oh, yes, we had a glorious time, of
course. We always do. We didn't begin
firing till 7 o'clock, partly because It
wakes people up, and partly because it is
so silly to use up all your crackers be
fore breakfast, as some boys do, and
have none for the rest of the day, and
have every one think you a nuisance be
sides. We had no accidents; that is, nothing
to speak of. Polly burned two or three
of her fingers a 'little, but we made that
all right with soda and a rag, and she
never cried a bit; but there was an epi
sode, and it happened to me. This wai
the way it happened:
I wanted both my hands to nse, and I
had a piece of punk in one of them, and
there was no place to lay it down, and
everybody else's hands were full, too, so
T well, I just put it into my pocket for
a minute. It was lighted, but I didn't
think It would do any harm just for a
minute. I forgot that I had a whole
bunch of firecrackers In that same pock
et. Suddenly I heard some one cry out,
"Tom is afire!" and then there -came a
puff of smoke in my face, and I felt
something hot against my leg, and then
pop! snap! bang! crack, fizz, whizz! crack-lety-bang!
the crackers began to go off
in my pocket!
Everybody was yelling, and just for
a minute I didn't know what to do. I
ran, but the crackers ran with me, and
the faster -I went the harder they popped.
Then all at once I saw what to do, and
I pulled off my jacket and threw it on
the grass. Luckily it was my jacket, and
not my trousers pocket I
Billy took it up and shook out the
crackers, and then he turned out the
pocket, but there wasn't much left to
turn. It was just a black rag, and It
dropped into little pieces. Then there
was a big piece that looked as. if it had
once been white, and that, they said, was
my handkerchief, but I should never have
known it.
Well, of course they all laughed at me
a good deal, but I 'didn't mind much, for
it really was very fnnny, I' suppose; but
my advice to other boys is, don't carry
crackers in your pocket, and if you do,
don't put a lighted slow-match in with
them! Laura E. Richards.
Our Celebration.
The birds have been practicing glees, but to
day They gave up their concert and flew away;
And the locusts and grasshoppers, noisy and
shrill,
Could not make themselves heard, and so
they kept still;
And the blustering wind went off In a huff.
Since nobody noticed how loud he could puff.
And the clouds rolled up from the west in
a row.
For they thought that the noise In the world
below
Was tbe voice of the thunder to call them
together.
And so they began to make showery
weather.
And the Man in the Moon, being greatly per
plexed To know what would happen next.
Wished for hands or feet, as well as a face,
To cover his ears up, or run from his place.
And the baby stars opened their bright little
eyes.
And stared down below with the greatest
surprise
To see how the rockets shot up to the skjt
But they never guessed out
What it all was about.
That we were Just keeping the Fourth of
July!

OIL IN CALIFORNIA.
An Interview With a Well Known Oil
Expert.
A well-known oil expert has the fol
lowing to say about the California oil
industry:
The oil production of California is
now about 4,500,000 barrels annually.
This ontpnt is being increased very
materially each month by the prodnct
of the new wells drilled to oil in the
different districts.
The question most frequently asked
me, especially by capitalists and those
interested or likely to be interested in
oil investments is: "Is there not a
possibility of overproduction of oil in
California?"
There are two main belts extending
through the state, located on the east
ern and western shores of ancient, pre
historic seas. One of these produces a
black and essentially fuel oil. and the
other a green or gas oil.
The black or heavy oil makes an
ideal fuel, as has been proven by 20
yeais of experience in Russia and in
this country.
In using oil as a fuel it is necessary
to exercise considerable judgment, and
to know what kind of oil as well as
what kind of a burner to use.
The two oils, the black and the
green, lie almost in two parallel belts
in California extending on the west
side of the San Joaqnin valley and run
ning north and south into northern and
southern California. There is likewise
a similar condition on the east side ot
tbe San Joaquin more or less in evi
dence as is shown by the outcroppings
and geological formation. The east
side of the valley, however, has not. yet
been prospected for oil as has the west
side, where developments have already
been, and where by far the largest
amount of the oil output of California
is at present obtained. .
It is true that many far-seeing capi
talists have entered into the oil busi
ness and have reaped rich financial re
turns already, others have been too
conservative and are losing opportuni
ties which are fast being taken up by
Eastern capitalists, who are Vapidly ap
preciating the chance California gives
for investments.
Many wells are now under way, and
new derricks are going up on every side,
and I am satisfied that many of these
new oil enterprises will be wonderfully
successful and that the financial story
of Oil City, in Fresno county, with its
dazzling vistas of millions already
made and not under prospect, will be
told and retold again and again in new
fields in the near future.
World to End this Year.
This is the recent decision of one of the
prominent societies of the world, but the ex
act day has not yet been fixed upon, and
while there are very few people who be
lieve this prediction, there pre thousands
of others who not only believe, but know
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the best
medicine to cure dyspepsia, indigestion,
constipation, biliousness or liver and kid
ney troubles. A fair trial will certainly
convince you of its value.
Christianity and Theology-.
One of the most unfortunate mis
takes ever made by the Christian
church was to slide into the habit of
identifying Christianity with theology.
We have had brains given us to use,
and there are no themes that so magni
ficently challenge a man's intellectual
powers as the themes that associate
themselves with religions and with the
Christian religion. But even so, the
ology is not Christianity. Rev. Dr.
Parkhurst.
The most northerly city in the world
is Reykjavik, Iceland, which has 3,900
inhabitants.
