ALL SUNDAY SCHOOLS
OF Shawnee County Want to
March at the Festival.
They VIII Go to the Old Sol
diers Camp
And Wave Flags for the Soldiers and
Listen to Patriotic Speeches
Meeting of the Commit
tee of Fifteen.

BY a proposition submitted to the
Committee of Fifteen at it's meeting
last night the Sabbath schools of To-
peka and Shawnee county will be given
an opportunity to show their combined
strength.
J. H. FOUGHT and R. F. GLASGOW ap-
peared before the committee and asked
to be heard.
Mr. Foucht-We are here as repre-
sentatives of the Sabbath school ele-
ment of Shawnee county. 1t has been
suggested that the Sabbath schools of
the city and county could make q good
showing here during festival week and
give a parade and demonstration on
some day not later than Thursday. We
might gather at the state house and
march. We would probably not need
more than three hours from to II in
the morning.
Mr.. Rodgers believe this would be
good idea and move that 1t be &C
cepted and that Mr.. FOUGHT and Mr..
GLASGOW be made a committee to see
that all arrangements are made and
that Thursday be made the day. The
children can have their speaking and
exercises on the west steps of the state
house in the shade.
Mr. Bradford think we are making
a mistake about this. The zOuaves are
going to parade on that day and so are
the school children and that will take
pretty nearly all of the children and
leave mighty few of the Sabbath school
other day and give my boys an OppOr-
tunity to do just what they want to do,
parade twice, I think it will be better.
Major Anderson think it would be
a good idea to take some special day, a
forenoon say, and gather the Sabbath
school children together and march to
the fair grounds and honor the camp.
This viii greatly please the old soldiers.
Mr.. GlascOw-NGr. Bradford must re-
member that the children from the
country Sabbath schools will be in
Guided. Thousands of them will march
and 1 don't think march of a mile is
too much for q fve-year-Old
Mr.. Titus-Why not have each Sab
bath school have float full of children
in the floral parade?
Mr.. Br2dfOrd-As an amendment to
Mr.. Rodgers motion I move that the
date for the Sabbath school demon
stratiOn be left open.
This carried.
A member of the committee suggests
that it must not be forgotten that the
old soldiers themselves are going to
parade on the morning of Thursday
There are two morning dates open
Tuesday and Friday.

position of specializing. If any man
wants to sell an official badge and let
the committee have a commission. he
to take all risks all right
Mr.. Bradford see no better way
than to adopt an official badge and sell
the privilege of selling it.
Major Anderson-We had better sim
ply buy what badges we need to give
to the folks we want to give them to
and then adopt an official badge as Mr..
Bradford suggests.
Mr. Rodgers move that we lay this
badge matter on the table.
This was the shortest way out of it
and it was done.

man Blind with a travelling company.
1t was in HOOdman Blind, - at the Grand
Opera House, Boston, that she first ap-
peared before a Boston audience, and while
there Mr.. Field, manager of the long ia
nous Boston Museum, saw her and en-
gagged her for the season of 1888 and 1889.
She was leading woman of the old Mu-
scum company until she joined Joseph
Jefferson to play in standard old comedies
in casts comprising such famous people as
William J. Florence, Mrs. John Drew,
Frederick Pqulding and Mr.. jefferson
himself. She added to her reputation by
this engagement and left to create the role
of the heroine in Bronson Howard s Shen-
andoah." She next appeared in the same
authors 8 Aristocracy'' and was then en-
gagged for leading business in the Empire
Theater (New York; Stock company.
There she has been ever since, having orig
mated number of characters and built
up a large following in that ard other
cities. She is generally admitted to be the
foremost leading lady of this country.
And still Miss Allen sensibly refuses to
become star.

The famous actor, E. J. Henley, tells the
following story Of a man in straitened cir
cumstances, who, as he put it, preferred
to be helped to make his own way in the
world by commendable industry rather
than be ala object Of charity
It was in the winter of 1891 and a bit
terly cold night. A lot of actors and other
bohenlian3 were gathered around the big
stove of a rather rough and tumble saloon
in Chicago. a hungry looking fellow
walked into the place Some one in our
party said;
g we have no money to give you, for
we're ali fat broke.

MORE NEWSPAPER ADS.
Committee Appropriates Money for
the Sending Out Matter.

At the Committee of Fifteen meeting
last night it was decided that not
enough advertising for the Fall Festi-
val was being done in the 500 neWspa-
pers of Kansas.
Mr. Edwards-There can be no more
effective advertising than this and
special effort must be put forward to
see that the editors of outside papers,
who are to attend the reunion are
treated in the very best manner posi-
BILE Mr. Adams has had charge of the
newspaper advertising feature of the
work heretofore, but it has Jagged be
cause of lack of funds. We still have
eight weeks and the postage on 500
printed notices sent out each week
will be S48. I move that $50 be appro-
priated to Mr. Adams for this work.
This was done.

a TASK FOR THE QUEEN,
Which It Was Feared Might Come
Out Amiss.

Captain Titus had a new idea which
he handed out to the Committee of
Fifteen at its meeting last night.
Mr. Titus-Since something has al
ready been said in a similar vein I wish
to say that I think it would be a very
handsome idea for FlOra's Festival if
the mayor of the city during the parade
at some appropriate time should turn
over to the queen of the festival who
ever she may be the keys of the city
and if on her arrival at the fair grounds
she should at Camp Miles turn over the
KEYS in turn to the old soldiers
Mayor FeIIows-That would be on
Wednesday afternoon and pretty late
in the week. 1 turned over the keys of
the city to a meeting here some little
time ago after the meeting was all over
and got pretty thoroughly roasted for it.
And the matter was dropped.

BADGE QUESTION DISCUSSED
Not Yet Settled Satisfactorily to the
Committee.

The weekly recurrence of the official
badge question agitated the Committee
of Fifteen at its meeting last night
J. E. Larimer, who has been looking
the badge matter up reported that he
had found a company that would fur
nish the committee with 500 official
badges at ten cents each
Mr.. Larimer-If the committee sees
fit I will put these badges on sale for
the committee at different stores in the
city at % cents each, taking five cents
for my share of each badge sold, and
the committee can have the remaining
ten cents for its fund.
Mr.. Greenwald-I don't like this. I
don't want to place this committee in a
