FUNDS FOR CHARITY WORK.
Great 0pen-Air Festival in East Park on
May 4th.
How the Children's Protective Society
Hopes to Raise Needed
Money.

Notice is given elsewhere of a special
meeting of the Society for the PreVen-
ton Of Cruelty to Children, to be held
at School Superintendent Erlewine's Of
fee at half-past seven this evening,
sharp. It is promised that if the MEM
bers will be prompt at that hour they
will not be detained more than half an
hour
The secret of it is thiS-the work or
the society oversizes it's financial ca
pacitv-as five to one. Some time ago
the members ordered a committee to
look into the question of a benefit for
the society, by which money could be
nut into it's purse for relief Of distress
and rescue of children, and yet the
contributors Of it be given value re-
ceived.
That committee has fixed upon
plan. and to-night's meeting is to Sc
cure ratification and volunteer com
mittees on lines of subdivision of labor,
so that nothing onerous will fall upon
any one-it is to be everyone little
task, to accomplish great result. =
Also, as but little over two weeks re-
man in which to work the thing up,
it is desired to get all the members to-
gether who can possibly attend, and ar
range for such distribution of tickets
as will insure success by getting them
into every family.
The benefit is to take the form of a
children's and adults May Day picnic.
To that end East Park has been Sc
cured-not the little confined grove at
the rear-but the whole park Of eighty
acres, with all the attractions in the
park, and many added ones. Games
will be provided for adults and children
alike; booths will be erected to be
cared for by many groups of devoted.
big hearted women; the toboggan slide
will be operated; races for children and
cyclists arranged; a fine band of music
will be in attendance; roller skating
and bowling; May-pole festival, and a
host of other attractions.
The grounds will be the exclusive
property of the society for that one
day. There will be twenty guards and
officers in attendance, and out-guards
will stretch entirely around the park.
1t will be a great May festival, with
perfect decorum, yet hearty freedom
for rational exercises and enjoyment.
All children will be carried to and
from the park on the electric cars free
of charge. if they hold a May-day tick
ct of the society.
The date fixed upon is May 4th, which
falls on Tuesday AS the children's
tickets including transportation, are
fixed at 25 cents. and adults at so cents,
it is believed that fully 5000 children
will be assembled and a thousand
adults, and the affair thus made the
largest May festival ever given In in
terror California
But it can only be successful, say the
officers, by all the members taking hold
and resolving that it shall be, and to
that end to-night's meeting is called.
