By SELENE ARMSTRONG.
The Gsorfllan gave a Fourth of July
party. All the nett-ales were Invited
t 0 r 8 a. m, and, though a few swells
came late, fully a hundred boys hail
assembled long before the appointed
* , °They had heard wonderful stories of
cake and lemonade, cornucopias nnd
flags, which were to be distributed by
"Mr. Tony," who Is the good fairy of
The Georgian carriers, anil who Is
master of ceremonies at every enter
tainment given for them, and they had
reserved a fund of good spirits for the
occasion.
As soon as one entered the big hall
It was to be seep that the party was
Informal. Here a scuffling contest was
on and such cries as "Punch'm hard,"
“tVhyn't yer ketch ’Im by tie hair?”
proved the lively interest of the spec-
'"InYnother comer a disagreement
which had terminated In a tight was
being amicably settled by an older boy,
much to the sorrow of the group which
surrounded the contestants.
"Ain't you ashamed? Mr. Tony
ought ter make you kids skldoo before
de lemonade an' cake comes on," said
the big boy, nnd the terrible sugges
tiveness of his . words Immediately
•tilled the angry passions of the two
amnll boys who had disagreed.
Then the bugle Bounded, and order
was restored eo quickly that a sus
picious person would have Bold the
boys thought It was cake time. The
muster of ceremonies pointed to one of
the assistant society editors who was
having the best time of her life, and
said, "The lady will make you r
speech."
Off came caps, and the poor, fright
ened society assistant was confronted
by scores of eager. Interested, smutty
faces.
You may be sure It was the most
awful moment of her life.
"She’s Ssssisty,” He Said.
"She's Saaslety,” whispered one of
the boys dramatically. "I done seen
her in dere where them women writes
about de parties."
"She's Saaslety," the whispered
words went round, and the poor wom
an feared that the game was up. It
would take a big message for these
boys. She spoke a few words to them
and then said, “Now, here's for ‘My
Country 'TIs of Thee.’”
On the Instant a hundred lusty
throats took up the words, and sang
them with a will.
"Now, three cheers for The Geor
gian," and the noise they made!
Then great tubs of lemonade, and
the beautiful crackers with pink and
white Icing, which Harry Schleslnger
had donated' for- the occasion, were
brought In.
"Doc Fish” Was on Hand.
The boys lined up. In the very front
ranks was "Doc Fish." who told us
weeks ago that he was going to quit
the profession.
"I jes goes to de parties," he said,
"when dey don’t Interfere wid my reg-
lar bis.” But what his new profession
Is. he didn’t say.
Then, too, there were Mike and Abe
Klein, of whom all the boys are very
proud. Mike, the older brother, la 6
yenrs old, and says he has been a
carrier for two years. Abe refused
stoutly to tell his age.
A lonely little figure was seen perch
ed In one of the windows, waving two
enormous flags. He was so frail and
diminutive that he probably stayed
away from the lemonade' tub for fear
of being rruahed.
"What Is your name?” some one
asked who took him some refresh
ments.
"Dewey," he rsponded gravely.
Off They Go.
At 9 o’clock they were put Into the
great wagons and were driven away to
the baseball game, shouting lustily for
The Georgian. "Mr. Toney.” the Fourth
of July, cheering everybody and every
thing, Every one of them had a meg
aphone, donated by the Koca-Nol*
company.
It seemed to them a good old world.
For the party had just begun.
At the Ball Park.
The advance on Piedmont park was
s triumphal procession. In front of
The Georgian’s office the boys were
piled Into big wagons, decorated with
flags and atreamers, and they were
driven slowly down Alabama street,
along Whitehall and then out to Pied
mont.
And no circus parade ever made more
anise or attracted more attention.
Every boy In the lot yelled contln-
uously at the very top or his stout
young voice every Inch of the way,
nnd the spectators on the sidewalks
were so Impressed with the stout
show ing and the loud noise, that they
applauded and cheered aa the kids
drove by.
The entry to Piedmont park was only
prevented from degenerating Into a
scramble by vigorous work on the part
of those who had the party In charge,
assisted by the, local police force and
spectators. For awhile It looked as

though the militia might have to be
called out.
When the Inside of the park was
gained there was a merry scramble
for the top seats of the bleachers, and
here the party lodged, and here it re
mained during the long game.
And maybe those boys did not have
a large and elegant picnic. It mattered
not to them that, the seats were hard,
that the sun was hot and that the game
was of the kind commonly known as
"town ball."
It was real base bill, anyway, and
there they were In those coveted
bleacher seats. And there were the
teams, and Jim Fox knocked a home
run, and Atlanta won by a tremendous
•core, and altogether everything was
very lovely.
After the game was over the boys
were marshaled Into a large and quite
Irregular column, and In broken order
they marched back to their convey,
anccs.
And all of them, looked happy even
then, for there was still the ride bacl!
to anticipate.
The return trip yva» made slowly, and
It was nearly 5 o'clock before the last
wagon drove up and unloaded Its car

Altogether The Georgian party was
a.huge success, and It will be long be

In accord with the old Prussian custom, there were present at the sc-
couchment, beside the empress, the crown prince and the three court phy

provides that there shall be no doubt of the Identity of the child who will

LANDS THE PLUM
Death-Blow Dealt to Civil Ser-
' vice Proposition, It Is
Believed.
Unexpected developments and In
terne surprise marked tho meeting on
Tuesday night of tho board of police
commissioners, when the Glbraltar-
llke deadlock that has prevented the
election of a successor to Former Po
lice Captain Moon for several weeks
was suddenly broken Into "amlther
eons" by Commissioner Oldknow.
After the commission had persist
ently failed to get together on a po.
lice captain and It appeared as though
an election was an Impossibility, Com
missioner Oldknow bruko loose from
the ties that hove bound him to the
"civil service" faction since he has
been on the commission and voted
with the *'antl-rlvll service," or Eng
lish faction, electing Patrolman K L.
Jett captain.
Incidentally, the election of Jattglvos
police civil servlco a black eye.
The four commissioners who have
maintained that the civil servlco sys
tem Inaugurated some tlmo ago by the
old commission wns svuld, feel that
they have won n algnnl victory and
declare civil servlco In reality will not
become effective until April, 1007, the
tlmo fixed by tho leglBlntlvo enactment,
unless all members of the forco should
resign before that tlmo to accept civil
service.
Jett Wouldn't Resign.
The new captain Is one of tho six
toon policemen who refused to resign
at the time civil servlco was Instituted
by romnil.-Mlon.
Tho sudden change of Comndettonsr
Oldknow to tho KmkIIhIi fait Ion has
created a sensation In police circles
nnd among city polltlrlons and has
aroused II10 I .Mayor Woodward,
who appointed him to the office. Mr.
Oldknow Is a member of the police
commission by reason of the fact that
he Is chairman of the police committee
of the city council, which chairman
ship he has held for two col SUITS

friendship that oxl-led between Idm
and Mayor Wndwnrd, with whom he
hns been closely allied, and hns con
verted them Into bitter political eno
lilies.
Mayor Is Vsry Angry.
When seen ^Wednesday morning In
regard to the matter, Mayor Wood
ward did not hesitate to denounce
I'ldknow tn strong mid
unmistakable terms. It did not require
a peep through n magnifying glass to
discover the expression of ijjW M
tho mnyor’e face tut ho spoke of tho
desertion of his appointee. The anger
woe (00 plain.
When asked for a public expression
of opinion ns to whal ho thought of
the commissioner’s change of front.
Mayor Woodward, hie features resem
bling n panorama of disgust, merely
remarked:
“I don't care to say anything for
publication. 1 have no desire to asso.
date with him In any way.”
Not only Is the mayor wrought up,
but It Is understood that the other
members of the faction with which
Mr. Oldknow hns been aligned are also
'•ore.”
With the support of Commissioner
Oldknow, the "civil service" faction had
tho commission completely deadlocked
and so long ns he Blood firm there was
no election of n captain. When he
faced about and lined up with the Eng
list) faction, however, It wns easy sail.
Ing and Jett was chosen captain with,
out having to stand a civil service ex.
amlnatlon.
In Executive Session. '
After transacting the ordinary rou.
tine business of the monthly meeting,
the commission went Into executive
session at 10 o'clock and the question
of electing a captain was brought up.
This naturally developed a discussion
of civil service and the commissioners
freely expressed fhelr views.
During the discussion Commissioner
Morris Brandon presented a written
opinion from City Attorney Mayson, In
which the latter held that the commis
sion could not sleet a successor to Cap
tain Moon for life. Civil eervlce mesne
election for life, and consequently the
opinion of the city attorney was a rul
ing on civil service. It was a knockout
blow. Home of the commissioners, how
ever, did not accept this ruling, the
same old division of opinion manifest-
ig Itself.
Finally, Chief Jennings was request
J to name four or five members of the
force whom he thought would make a
good captain, and It waa plain that an
