Seaslan Band Furnished the Music rbr the First Official Jollification Notae In the Early Day Was Given Eecondarr Place on Programme,' N ye olden time they cel ebrated "Independence day" and not the "Fourth of 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 speaka of the coming "Fourth" rather than of "In dependence day," a name so pregnant with meaning. Perhaps the people who "deplore" are right. : i One of the signers on that famous Fourth of July, 1776, declared on his deathbed that he would like to sleep a century, theu woke up to find out how future generations were celebrating Inde pendence day. If the old gentleman's wish were to be granted, when he heard the fish horns, the multitudinous snap ping of John Chinaman red wrapped In ventions, the reports of the dangerous torpedoes and dynamite cracker 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 making small boy may with good grace tell him that New England's patron saint. John Adams, recommended that the day be recognised by Just such a din as young America la making. It la true, however, that President John suggested that the early part of tbe day should be given over to solemn acts of devotion. Then he aaid the day ahould be commem orated "with pomp, parade, games, sports, guns, bella, bonfire 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 congreas Adams in writing to hi daughter said: "The people shouted and huszshed In a way to strike utmost terror to every lurking tory. There was a splendid illumination and while a few surly house were dark the show would have given King George a heartache." Beaalan Band Played. On this first official celebration of Fourth of July by Congress that body se cured music for the day sod at the same time afforded the people a great chance for amusement and laughter by forcing the Heasian 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. Tbe celebration waa held at the Spring gardens, near AM 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. Tbe soldiers st 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 ef the declaration was made memorable by the issuing of an order by the commander-in-chief that all military prisoners under tbe sentence of death should be pardoned. Perhaps the most enthusiastic and heartfelt celebrations of Independence day did not take place on the day itself. News traveled slowly in the year 1770. and it was some days before New York knew that the country had been declared free. When the phasing information did reach there, however, the town went wild. The king's statue was pulled down and melted np into bullets for the Ameri can armies. Two or three daya after New York had given vent to its enthusi astic feelings Boston celebrated. A Brit ish army officer who was a prisoner In the hob at the time wrote an account of the rejoicings of the "deluded people." tie waa escorted by a band of patriots to see the "goings on" and confesses that be enjoyed the occasion as a break In a rather monotonous life of captivity. The crowd of Bostonians tore down tbe lion and the unicorn from tbe old headquar ters of the British uovernment, after ward the old Massachusetts state bouse. It waa not until after the signing of the- 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 wss invited and it was seen to that there was enough for all. The cltl- sen sat down at the outdoor table with out any fear that a canuon cracker was to be exploded under him before be bad finished his first course. Pandemonium had not as yet come Into general use as a synonym for the features of tbe Fourth of July. All through Virginia the public and private feast on Independence day had as a dish what was known as Bruns wick soup or stew. The name probably arose from a desire on the part of tbe 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 Ilartford it was the custom for years to have a great dinner "In the field." A newspaper of 100 7"un or so ago gives so account af 11 A ' yr'T' 1 -J -- III XJ "..'

The Boston official dinner on Indepen dence day were held In the hub's cradle of liberty, Faneuil Hall. Edward Everett Hale tells of one of the earliest Fourth of July celebrations of his remembrance. It waa that of the year 1833, and on that day for the first time a great chorua of school children sang "My Country, 'Tla of Thee." Character of Celebration Chanaras. It waa just about thla time that the character of the celebration of the anni versary of the birthday of American In dependence began to change. Paradea were held aa usual, bnt noise began to take the place of speeches and In the larger towns of the reading of tbe declar ation of Independence, which had always been a feature of the celebration. The VliJJ-XlllSi I.MJitf H,.L)lt.Utii LAX CtLIHiBKATlU.N. opening of trade with China brought In the small firecrackers snd American fac tories soon found the means of making big ones. Noise assumed the scepter and has reigned ever since. There Is s strong desire on tbe 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 waa. All sorts of plana bare been suggested for s more orderly and solemnly Impressive celebration of the republic's natal day. The effort to change the methoda of tbe 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 of Patriotic Celebrations. It Is sometimes bard 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 thla sort pays tbe largest kind of interest on tbe Investment In the cultivation of tbe spirit of patriotism and the proper education of boys and girls In the theory and practice of Fourth of July celebrationa and similar observances thaf shall mean mors than a simple good tints. t ti 7 St yv j . . s 41 ;","A-Wf. T? An Episode of the Fourth. Oh, yes, w had a glorious time, of course. We always do, W didn't begin firing till 7 o'clock, partly because It wake people np, and partly because It la so silly to use up all your crackers be fore breakfast, aa 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 la, 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 waa an epi sode, and It happened to me. Thla was 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 elae'a hands were full, too, so I well, I just put It into my pocket for a minute. It waa lighted, bat I didn't think It would do any barm just for a minute. I forgot that I had a whole buncb of firecrackers in that same pock et. Suddenly I heard some ons cry out. 'Tom Is sure!" snd then there csme a puff of smoke In my face, snd I felt something hot sgalnst my leg, snd then Pop I snap! bong! crack. Bis, whlss! crack-lety-bangl the crackers began to go off in my pocket! Everybody waa yelling, and Jnst for a minute I didn't know what to do. I ran, but the crackers ran with me, and the faster I went tbe harder they popped. Then all at once I saw what to do, and r 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 t turn. It waa just a black rag, and it dropped Into little pieces. Then there waa a big piece that looked as If It had once been white, and that, tbey said, was my handkerchief, but I should never have known It Well, of course they all laughed at me a good deal, bnt I didn't mind much, for It really was very funny, I suppose; but my advice to other boys Is, don't carry crackers In your pocket, and it you do, don't put a lighted slow-match In with them!

The birds hare been practicing glees, bnt te day Tbey gave op fbelr concert and flew away; And lbs locusts and grasshoppers, noisy and shrill, Could not make themselves heard, and se they kept still; And the blustering wind went off In baff, Bluce nobody noticed bow loud he could puff. And the clouds rolled up from the west la . a row, For they thought that the noise in the world below Was lb voire of the thundtr to eall tbea together, And so they began to make showery weather. And the Mao In tbe Moon, being grestly per plexed To know what would happen next, Wished for hands or feet, as wtll as s faee. To cover bis eara up, or run from bis place.

An Interview With Welt Knows Oil Kxpert, A well-known oil expert has ths fol lowing to say about ths California oil Industry; Ths oil production of Calllornia la now about 4,600,000 barrels annually. This output is being increased very materially each month by ths product of ths uaw wells drilled to oil la ths different districts. The qiieNtion most frequently asked me, espeuially by capitalists and those interested or likely to be interested in oil investments is: "Is there not a possibility of overproduction of oil in Califoriilaf" Titers are two main belts extending through the state, located on the east em aud western shores of ancient, pre historic seas. One of these produces a black aud essentially fuel oil, and the other a green or gas oil. The black or heavy oil makes an itleitl fuel, as has been proven by 10 veais of experience in ltussia aud in this country. In using oil as a fuel it is necessary to exercise considerable Judgment, aud to kuow what kind of oil as well as wiui t kind of a burner to use. The two oils, the black and the green, lie almost in two parallel belts In California exteudtug on the west side of the Kan Joaquin valley aud run uing north and south into northern and southern California. Thora is likewise a similar condition on the east side ot the Han Joaquin more or less in evi dence as Is shown by tha outoropplngs and goolootcal formation. Ths east ido of the valley, howevor,has not yet been prospected for oil as has the west side, whore developments have already been, aud where by far ths largest amount ot the oil output of California) Is at present obtained. It is true that many far-seeing capi talists have entered into ths oil busl nuss and have reaed rich financial re turns already, others havs been too conservative and are losing opportuni ties which are fast being taken up by Kastern capitalists, who anjrapldly ap preciating tha chauos California gives for investments. Many wells are now under way, ami new derricks are going op on every side, and I am satisfied that many of these uew oil enterprises will be wouilurfulty successful and that tha financial story of Oil City, in Fresno oounty, with its dassllng vistas of millions already made and not undor prospect, will bs told and retold again and again In new fields In the near tutors.

Christianity and Theology, One of tha most nufortunate mis takes ever mads by the Christian church was to slide Into ths habit ot ldeutlfytug Christianity with theology. We have bad brains given os to use. snd there ere no themes that so magni ficently challonge a man's intellectual powers as the themes that associate themselves with religions snd with tha Christian religion.
