THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. 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. r By 8ELENE ARMSTRONG. The Georgian gave a Fourth of July | party. All the newsies were Invited for 8 a. m., and, though a few swells came late, fully a hundred ' boys had assembled long before the appointed hour. They had heard wonderful stories 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 as one entered the big hall It was to be seejt that the party was Informal. Here a scuffling contest was on, and such cries as "Punch'm hard,” "Whyn'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 light was being amicably settled by an older bb>, 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 sue- e lclous person would - have said the oys thought .It was cake time. The master of ceremonies pointed to one of the assistant society editors who was having the beat 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. "8he’e 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 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, model 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. “Doo 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." Rut 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 years old, and says he has been carrier for two years. Alje 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 la your name?" some one asked who took him some refresh ments. "Dewey,” he raponded gravely. Off They Go. At 9 o’clock they were put Into the areat 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-Nola company. It seemed to them a good old world. For the party had Just begun. At the Ball Park.

Berlin, July 4.—At the marble palace Pottsdam, an heir to the German throne was born today when the Crown Winces* Cecilia gave birth to a eon. She was married June, 1(08, to the heir of the kaiser. Crown Prince Frederick. While all Germany Is rejoicing, no one In all his dominion Is as happy as the kaleer. As soon as the wireless message was received announcing the coming of the little prince, hie majesty replied by wireless, sending con gratulations to “My dear daughter-in-law and a kies to my first grand son.” • ‘ ' • ' In accord with the old Prusalan custom, there were present' at the ac- couehment, beside the empress, the crown prince and the three court phy sicians, an accredited representative of tha German government. The Isiw provides that , there shall be no doubt of the Identity of the child, who will one day. If all goes well, rule the great empire. The announcement that the child was a boy was greeted with a salute of 101 guns from the fortress at Pottsdam, and the celeb?atlonl began. Ber lin soon was covered with bunting and the streets were filled with rejoicing people. All government buildings throughout the empire were decorated, the troops were served with double rations and exempted from drill, while a general holiday was proclaimed. The.new prince Is twenty-eighth In lineal descent from Conrad Von Ho- hensollern. founder of the German imperial house. The Georgian's office the boys were piled Into big wagons, decorated with flags and ’streamers,. and they were driven slowly down Alabama street, along Whitehall and then opt to Pied mont. And no circus parade ever made more noise or'attracted more attention. Every boy In the lot yeUed contin uously at the very top of his stout young voice every Inch of the way. and the spectators on the sidewalks' were so Impressed with the stout showing and the loud noise, that they applauded and cheered as 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 ough the militia might have to be died out. When the Inside of the park was gained there was a merry scramble for the top seats of the blearhers, 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 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 1 was over the boys were marshaled into a large and quite Irregular column, and In broken order they marched back do their convey ances. • And all of them 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 lest wagon drove up and unloaded Its car go of happy newsboys. Altogether The Georgian parly was a huge success, and.lt will be long be fore the guests will forget the cele bration. lot nbout the Populists this morning.'

Anger. PATROLMAN JETT LANDS THE PLUM Death Blow Dealt to Civil Ser vice Proposition, It Is Believed. Unexpected developments and ... tenae surprise marked the meeting on Tuesday night of the board*of police commissioners, when the Olbraltar- llke deadlock that has prevented the election of a successor to Former Po lice Captain Moon for several weeks was suddenly broken Into "smither eens” 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 wee an Impossibility, Com missioner Oldknow broke loose from the ties that have bound him to the "civil service” faction since lie hus been on the commission and voted With the "antl-cIvll service," or Eng lish faction, electing Patrolman K. L. Jett captain. Incidentally, the election of Jett gives police civil service a black eye. The four commissioners who have USatfilMd that’ tbectvll (inrlce sys tem Inaugurated some time ago by the old commission was void, feel that they have won a signal victory and declare civil service In reality will not become effective until April, 1(07, the I Ini'- by i lie 1,-K l-l.i 11 v •• ' 11" 'll" in. unless all members of the force should resign before that time to accept civil irvice. . Jett Wouldn't Resign. The new captain Is one of the six teen^ policemen who refused to resign at the tlmo.plvll service was Instituted by the old commission. The sudden change of Commissioner Oldknow to the English faction has crenteil a sensation In police circles and among city politicians and has aroused the Ire of Mayor Woodward, who appointed him to the olllce. Air. 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 consecutive terme by appointment of the mnyor. The unexpected action of tha com missioner has dissipated the warm fHendshlp that existed between him and Mayor Wodward, with whom he has been closely allied, and has con verted them Into bitter political ene mies. Mayor Is Very Angry. When seen Wednesday morning In regard to the matter, Alayor Wood* ward did not hesitate to denounce Commissioner Oldknow In strong nnd unmistakable terms. It did not requlro p through a magnifying glees to er the expression of anger on the mayor’s fscs as he spoke of the desertion of his appointee. The anger was too plain. When asked for a public expression of opinion as to wliat he thought of the commissioner's change of front, Mayor Woodward, his features resem bling a panorama of disgust, merely remarked: don’t care to say anything for publication. I have no desire to asso ciate with him In nny way." 1 Not only la the mayor wrought up. but It Is understood that the other members of the faction with which Mr. Oldknow has been aligned are also •sore." With the support of Cammlealoner Oldknow, the "civil service" faction had the commission completely deadlocked and so long as he stood firm there was no election of a captain. Whan he faced about and llnad up with the Eng lish faction, however, It wae easy salt ing and Jelt was chosen captain with out having to aland a civil aarvlee ex amination. In Executive Session. After transacting the ordinary rou tine business of the monthly meeting, the commission went Jnto executive session at 10 o'clock end the question of electing a captain was brought up. This naturally developed a discussion of civil service and the commissioners freely expressed their views. During the discussion Commissioner Morris Brandon presented a written opinion from City Attorney Mayeon, In which the latter held that the commis sion could not elect a successor to Cap tain Moon for life. Civil service means election for life, and consequently the opinion of the city attorney was a rul ing on civil service. *’ ’ PATROLMAN E. L. JETT.

The commission adjourned at 10:40. L. Jett, the new captain, was elected to Serve the unexplred term of Captain Moon. This term will expire In April, 1(07. Captain Jett has been a member of the police force for the past sixteen years and has won a splendid record. He Is a conscientious nnd faithful ofllcer, has always held the respect and admiration of hla supe rior offleers, and la ixjpular with the men.
