"HP THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. WEDNESDAY, JULY 4. 1904. , THE GEORGIAN NEWSIES HAVE A GAY FOURTH OF JULY PARTY Two Hundred of Them Are Fed on Sweets, Then Taken, Shout ing and Shooting, to See Atlanta Wallop Nashville, By SELENE ARMSTRONG. The Georgian gave a Fourth of July party. All the newsies were Invited lur I L m, and, though a few swells came late, fully a hundred boys had assembled long before the appointed hour. They had heard wonderful storle* of rake and lemonade, cornucopias and flags, which were to be distributed by "Mr. Tony,” who Is the good fairy of The Georgian carriers, and 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 os one entered the big hall It was to be seqt that the party was Informal. Here a scuffling contest was oh, and such cries as "Punch'm hard," "W’hyn't yer ketch Tm by de hair?" proved the lively Interest of the spec tators. In another corner a disagreement which had terminated In a fight 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, and the terrible sugges tiveness of his words immediately stilled the angry passions of the two small boys who had disagreed. Then the bugle sounded, and order was restored so quickly that a sus picious person would have said the boys thought It was cake time. The master 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 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 Sassiety," He Said. "She's Sassiety," whispered one of the boys dramatically. "I done seen her In dere where them women writes about de parties.” “She’s Sassiety," the whispered words went round, and the poor wom en 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. ■ "Nojy, three cheers for The Geor gian,'' and the nufse they made! Then great tubs of-lemonade, and the beautiful crackers with pink and white Icing, which Harry Bchleslnger had donated for the occasion, itere brought in. "Doe 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 wld 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 ore very proud. Mike, the older brother, Is 8 years 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 crushed. “What Is your name?” some one asked who took him some refresh ments. "Dewey,” he rsponded gravely. . Off They Go. At t 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-Nols company.

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, aealeted 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 seals of the bleachers, and here the party lodged, and here It re. malned 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 baseball, 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 score, 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 ances. And all of then! looked happy even then, for there was still the ride back to anticipate. ‘ The return trip was made slowly, and It was nearly 2 o'clock before the last wagon drove up and unloaded Its car go of happy newsboys. Altogether The Georgian party was a huge success, and It will be long be fore the guests will forget the cele bration. ON THEIR SECOND HONEYMOON Latest photograph of William H.

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 broke loose from the ties that have bound him to the "civil eervlce" faction since he has been on the commission and voted with the "antl-civll eervlce," or Eng lish faction, electing Patrolman E. L. Jett captain. Incidentally, the election of Jett gives police civil service a black eye. The four commissioners who have maintained that the civil service sys tem inaugurated some time into by tlio old commission tvns void, feel that they have won a signal victory and declare civil service in reality will not become effective unlll April, 1907, the time flxed by the legislative enactment, unless all members of tho force should resign before that time to accept civil service. Jett Wouldn't Resign. The new captain la one of the six teen policemen who refused to resign at the time civil eervlce wa4 Instituted by the old commission. ''. The sudden change of Commlealoner Oldknow to the English faction has created a sensation In police circles and among city politicians and has aroused the ire of 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 haa held for two consecutive terms by appointment of the mayor. The unexpected action of the com mlssloner haa dissipated the warm friendship (hat existed between him and Mayor Wodward, with whom ha haa been closely allied, and haa con verted them Into bitter political ene mies. Mayor Is Very Angry. When, seen Wednesday morning In regard to the matter. Mayor Wood ward did not hesitate lo denounce Commissioner Oldknow In strong and unmistakable terms. It did not require a peep through a magnifying glees to discover the expression of anger on the mayor's face as he spoke of the deaertlnn of his appointee. The anger was too plain. When asked for. a public expression of opinion as to what he thought of the commissioner's change of front Mayor Woodward, his features reeem bllng a panorama of disgust, merely remarked: I don't care to say anything for publication. I have no desire to asso ciate with him In any way/' Not only la the mayor wrought up, but It la understood that the other members of the faction with which Mr. Oldknow has been aligned are also ’sore.” With the support of Commissioner Oldknow, the "civil service" fsctlon had the commleelon completely deadlocked and so long as he stood Arm there was no election of a captain. When he faced about end lined up with the Eng lish faction, however. It was easy (ail ing and Jett was chosen captain with out having to stand a civil service ex amination. In Executive 8ession, 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 waa brought up. This naturally developed a discussion of civil service end the commissioners freely expressed their vtew». 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 elect a successor to Cap tain Moon for life. Civil eervlce means election for life, and consequently Ihe opinion of the city attorney waa a rul- PATROLMAN E. L. JETT.

Commissioner Oldknow then started the ball to rolling by nominating Jett. Commissioner Brandon seconded the nomination and the vote was taken. Chairman Terry, Commlealoner* English, Woodslde, Brandon and Old know voted for Jett. Mayor Woodward and Commissioners Nunnally and Venable refused to vote. Jett waa then declared elected. After the vote woe announced Mayor 'oodward, with an expression of Irony, imarked to Captain English, referring to Commissioner Oldknow; "Captain, you have captured him. You can have him." Captain English smiled. Before the board adjourned, Commis sioner Oldknow announced that he was rotng sway on his vacation and would lave to leave the meeting to catch a (rain. The commission adjourned at 10:40. L. Jett, the new captain, was elected (o serve Ihe unexplred term of Captain Moon. This term will expire In April, 1007. Captain Jett has been a member of the police force for the past sixteen years and has won n splendid record.
