The Park Band deserted its pavilion to
play for the young folk. At 2 P. NJ. the
musicians arranged themselves on the
veranda Of the Sharon cottage and dis
coursed series of popular airs which
were specially selected for the chill

which will long be remembered by many
city children was rendered as follows:

A CLOUD.
Insurance Agent Found
to Be Short.
c. e. Parks Of the German Company
Falls to Make Full Remittances
:. -. to New York. ......

C. E.Parks was interviewed yesterday after
noon by a CALL reporter In reference to the
alleged defalcations Of his son, w. S. Parks,
agent for the German Insurance Company.
" He stated that the missing money, estimated
at about $4,000, had dwindled down to $1,000 at
the most. This was partly to be accounted for,
he said, by the abrupt retirement from the
Coast by the German Insurance Company some
months ago, while It still incurred expenses
necessary for the maintenance of an office
here
His son, he stated, had been industrious and
steady, and had increased the business from
month 10 month. Had the matter been given
little time, the money could have been easily
paid of.
When asked whether the report was true
that he bad refused TO help his son, he said it
was not; but that his son had misunderstood
worth, acting for the Germin Insurance Com
pany. had become frightened. and left the city.
T. Farnsworth was called upon later at his
residence, and claimed Tn at though The amount
due the COMPANY had been considerably dimin
ished. still $1,000 was due it,, besides some out
SIDE matters of which he knew little or moth
ing. He stated that for some months no pre-
and that finally, when orders were given to Its
agent TO cease writing he still continued issuing
policies, the premiums OF which, with the 9TH
er$ ne collected and made no report of what
ever. Against The young man he could say
notblng detrimental otherwise. only of late he
had become aware OF a propensity OF his TO
gamble, which doubtless was the cause OF the
willingness to help materially toward an equi-
table sefiemeDt of the account. In the mean
| time the wife and Z. Farhsworth await further
developments.

CARLOADS OF LUNCH.

I; Elaborate preparations had been made
Tor lun ching the multitude of little folks,
and at 1890 o clock, when the sever al doors
were thrown open there was a rush. In
the lower rooms of the. Sharon cottage
tables had been set to: accom- modate 400
children. and upstairs there was comfor ia

And what motley throng 1t wasi De-

pinched faces told the sad tale of hard

clothing indicated the suffering endured
uncom plainingly. AS for the boys. al

the girls. bond Of good fellowship united
them into one immense noisy and COM
bative tbrong.
No sooner were the luncheon. rooms
opened than they were filed, and hum
areas OF other hungry children crowded the
police officers, who. for the time, kept
where all good things were being dis
pansed. No printed bill of fare was pro-
vlded, IL Is true. but from break of dawn
wagon-loads OF good things had been arriv-

ing bouilloD. ham and beef sand " iches,
cookies. tea and milk. candy and popcorn
were comprised In the menu, and the
hardest and most bombastic little yaga-
bond had to finally cry enough. And how
the Youngsters did eat! BY / o'clock
1900 sandwiches had been Robbled up.

man-of.war-if it was small enough.
But plenty remained. There were over
$1,000 sandwiches provided, $50 gallons OF
boulilon and $50 large rams of milk, with
crate upon crate Of sugar ed popcorn, and
cookies enough to satisfy all.
