Hearty ReceptfOu,

When the infantry reached the avenue
from 9th street the blaze of fireworks began
and continued necessarily all along the line
Of march. The effect Of the colored lights
In the pouring rain, the efforts of the band
to overcome the elements and the line OF
soaked soldiers was rather weird. The re-
turning infantry reviewed the escort at the
avenue and 9Th street, and then the march
continued to the armory without incident
When the boys were safely under roof they
made a rather sorry appearance. but, never
theleSs. none OF their ardor was dampened
and one could not find a single one who was
not ready to speak in the most glowing
terms OF the good times they had had and
the courtesy Of all with whom they had
been brought in contact.
At the armory Maj. Moore made a short
speech. in which he cordially thanked the
escort, which consisted of the stay-at-home
members of the infantry, the War Depart
ment Guards and the Columbia Division
No. 8. Knights Of Pythias, for their courtesy
in spite OF the elements. He also thank ed
the members Of the returned infantry for
their good behavior and discipline in camp
Many OF the members then went home, but
for those who desired something for the
inner man there was plenty of it in the
rooms OF the infantry above the armory.

portion Of the escort was drawn up just
outside the iron work which separates tine

served as guard to keep the public back

torrent as Is seldom seen in this city. The

FESTIVAL OF OPERAS.
Flower Mission People Transforming
TOmlinsOn Hall Into E~airyland.

The Flower Mission fairs are among the
novel entertainments which are given each
year in this city, and no two have ever
been alike from the time of the doll fair,
given in the fall of 1873, down to the pres
ent For this reason the members Of the
mission chose to represent operas, and the
features which are to be introduced will
rival anything ever given before by the
society. The mission had all of its funds
in the Indianapolis National Bank, and has
been somewhat crannped for means, though
good friends came forward and loaned the
society money enough to carry on its work
till this fair. The Entertainments will begin
this evening at Tomlinson Hall, and the
scenes from the operas which have been
chosen will make the visitor think that he
has struck fairyland. AS usual, yesterday
was a busy time for the workers, and by
afternoon it was remarkable what had been
accomplished in the way of erecting booths
and decorating them. There are all the
colors of the rainbow and treasures from
all countries. The donations from individ-
uals have been most generous. and there
will be a great variety of articles for sale
in the different booths.
Each evening there will be an unusually
fine programme of entertainment. To-
night Gilbert'S Engaged" will be played by
Mr.. Newton Booth Harrington. assisted by
members OF the DraIlaIlc CluD. Edcu uds
at noon luncheon will be served by the la
dies of the several city churches. On
Wednesday, the Second Presbyterian, Mar
ket-street Temple and Meridian = street
churches; Thursday, the First Presbyterian,
St. Pauls and Plymouth; Friday, the First
Baptist, Christ Church and the Fourth
Presbyterian: Saturday, Roberts Park
Grace Cathedral and Mayfower.
Thursday evening is called by some the
Midway Plaisance evening Of the week.
At each booth there will be attractions es-
pecially for that time. At the isle of
Champagne Miss Lydia HERON will sing
solos; at "Pinafore'' there will be popular
choruses by Fred Lander, Homer Van VIE
Charles B. Foster, r; L. Talbot, jr, Blake

the whole affair, and is managing with his
customary great success.

Flower Mission Tale.


The work which those actively engaged in
the Flower Mission do is never known,
even in the society. Each week the men,
bers meet and make reports, but the details
of the case are known only to the visitor
unless she tells them to some member OF
her family or a friend. To make public
some Of these may interest some person or
persons to attend the fair this week, even
if no more is contributed than the admit
lance fee.
For years in the plainest way a man, a
day laborer, had lived with his wife and
three children in a single room on a side
street. The wages of the man was the only
income, and this income varied. The hus-
band had no bad habits and the wife was
frugal, so they were quite comfortable.
Five mouths to fill, rent to pay, not to say
anything Of clothes and fire, allowed no
Injuries. They were a contented family
with the little and the arrangement of that
one room would delight the heart of the
economist. A bed for the parc4lts al -
trundle bed for the children stood in one
corner. a bureau and two chairs in another,
a dining table, or one that was used as
such. in a third and a tin cupboard in the
fourth. The stove was between the bed
and cupboard and the door opposite be-
day the man was brought home badly hurt,
and he was i'll for weeks. While in that con-
0lt1On the youngest cIliQ SlckS0SO anu
died. No income from the man meant no
money at all. The Flower Mission visitor
heard of the case and went at once. The
baby's death, the mans dreadful illness,
the poverty and the care and anxiety had
nearly brought the mother to distraction.
She hesitated about telling her troubles,
but a sympathetic woman was the listener
and she unburdened herself. The visitor at
once found relief for her. The rent, which
had been due some time, was paid. The
dispensary physician was seen and many
comforts for the sick man and the family
were provided. After five weeks the man
died. The visitor attended to all the neces-
sary duties, got a minister, and when that
was all over found work for the mother
and put her In the way of providing for
herself and the children remaining to her.
Such is the work, in one instance. and
there are hundreds as SAD and many worse.

cluded by saying that he had never seen a
florist who was not a gentleman, a florists
association with beautiful flowers natural
ly made him a gentleman. Some of the
big trees in the park had been cut down,
and this was denounced as an outrageous
and barbaric act. Mr.. Gamaliel Scott also
spoke in the same line. He knew that a
number Of the big trees had been cut.
Then he called the boards attention to the
fact that Inter den Linden was the best
known street in the world because EN-
peror William had set out trees on it
seventy years ago. 1t is a fact that the
trees have been ruthlessly chopped down
in the park, but the present custodian
claims that he did not nave a hand in it,
as it was done before he took charge. The
board thinks the custodian that is now en-
plOyed is competpnt.

WATER is ALL RIGHT
City Chemist Hurry on the Result
Of His Analysis.
Garfield Park Discqssed-Routine Bust
ness of the Board of Public
Works.

Considerable attention was attracted to
the report made by Professor Benton, the
city chemist under the Sullivan admins
t~ration. on the analysis of water. He found
at the tinre he made the analysis that the
water was not in a good condition, and he
attributed many of the stomach ills that
prevailed during the latter part of the sum-
mer to the water. Dr.. j. N. Hurry, the
new city chemist, was asked about the con-
dition of the city water yesterday. For
many months he has been making one or
more analyses of the city water every day,
Sundays included. In his laboratory is an
assistant, who is employed for no other pur-
pose than to make these analyses.
"The water furnished to the city by the
water-works company is not bad and has
not been bad within the last year to my

GARFIELD PARK.
General COburn Gives the Board His
Ideas on Its Management.

General COburn Gives the Board HIS
Ideas on Its annEement
At the afternoon meeting of the Board Of
Works, Gen. John Coburn appeared and
talked on Garfield Park. He said hat he
had no particular candidate for the posi-
tion OF custodian, and that he was interest
ed more in the Improvement Of the park
than in the man who was TO improve it.
He explained that in 1919 the report Of the
City Council showed that 2,129 trees were
turned over to the custodian of the park,
but that very few of them were set out.
He called attention to the condition of the
trees. He said some one had made the mis-
take of setting out a young birch in the
summertime. when It should nave been set
out at some other season. He believed
that all the trees in the nursery row at the
park should be set out. He thought il was
the cheapest and best plan to beautify the
park by buying trees and setting them out.
They could be bought for $500. Then he
thought "a dam should be built, so as TO
give the park water Fences should be re-
paired. He had seen the footprints of
horses that had been allowed TO wander
into the park from adjacent pastures.
Flowers were ar expensive luxury when the
city is in straits as she is at present. He
thought a great deal of money had been
expended in ignorance rather than in useful

THE HOUSE WAS DANGEROUS.
The Building Inspector Condemns
One ON North Street.

The Building Inspector Condemns
One on North street.
Building Inspector Pendergast yesterday
condemned a two-story brick on the south
east corner of Vermont and Pine streets.
The Board of Works afterwards approved
his action. James Shea owned the house,
and the building inspector explains the
cause of the condemnation in that Shea
tried ito put an e~ighteen-foot house on a
sixteen-foot lot" Some time ago 1t was de-
cided to open Vermont street from Pine
street east, and the ~neighbors at the corner
paid Shea enough TO have him move his
house back. The street east OF Pine was
merely an alley. Shea then tried to move
his house back on the small strip of ground
he had left after selling enough to widen
the street. The house would not fit the lot,
and Shea tried TO slice off a side of the
house. This, the building inspector claimed,
made the structure DANGEROUS.
