NEED FIFTY NEW MEMBERS.
With This Number Secured the Free
Park Concerts Will Begin.


There was a meeting of the executive
committee of the Indianapolis Concert Asso-
citation last night. w. C. Bobbs, Temporal
ry secretary, reported that nearly fifty bust
ness men have responded to invitations to
enter the association. At the preliminary
meeting of the association two weeks ago
1t was decided to limit the membership TO
one hundred. Quite number of promi-
nent business men who were invited to join
have not responded TO the written invita-
tons. Last night the committee decided to
appoint a committee of twenty to make
personal canvass for the additional fifty
members. A meeting of the canvassing
committee has been called for tomorrow
afternoon at 4 O'Clock, when an allotment
of names will be made and each member
of the committee requested to see three
or four others. The following names We're
taken from the list of subscribers to con-
stitute the canvassing committee: Thomas
Taggart, M. B. Wilson, Fred M. Ayres,
R. H. McCrea, Ferd L. Mayer, L. A. Kinsey,
H. T. Hearsey, ]. B. Allfree, Bement Ly-
man, Harry S. New, j. L. Reach, Albert

r. Ross, Charles Mcguire Louis Hollweg,
j. K. Lilly, S. Hays, A. M. Sweeney, W.
G. Bobbs, Alexander Taggart, 6. A. Schnull'

All Of the members of this committee have
large acquaintance, and it is believed that
with little exertion they will be able to
bring the membership up to one hundred
within a short time. The executive commit
tee feels that 1t has been fairly successful,
considering that no personal requests for
subscriptions have yet been made and that
all the canvassing has been done by cor
respondence.
The membership fee in the indianapolis
Concert Association is SIS, to be paid at the
call of the officials. 1t is
the intention to give three free
concerts a week through a season
of ten weeks. 1t will cost $50 for each con-
cert, or $500 for the entire summer. So
far the association has not been, perma-
nently organized. After the roster has been
completed a meeting will be held to effect
a permanent organization. Hopes are ex-
pressed that the concert season may be be-
gun before the present month ends.
In addition, to those whose names appear
as members of the committee appointed
last night the following have become iden-
titled with the association: Nathan Morris,
r. B. F. PIERCE, Henry jameson, George A.

STATE SOLDIERS HOME.
Board of Charities Concludes Its In
vestigatiOn.

John r. Elder. Demarchus c. Brown and
DR.. Mary Sphinx, members of the State
Board of Charities, and Ernest p. Bickneu,
the secretary of the board, returned from
Lafayette yesterday, where they have been
making an investigation of the Soldiers
Home. Mr.. Bicknell said that the report
to the Governor would be filed in a few
days, but he declined to give out any in
formation as to what the report would
contain. The board worked very hard
while in Lafayette. and Monday listened to
testimony for sixteen hours. The meeting
was not adjourned until midnight Mr.
BickneH said that the board was anxious
TO hear all the evidence possible, and gave
every one chance TO tell what they knew
CT the management of the institution
He says that the evidence was CONTRA
dictory and that none of the thirty-five
witnesses who testified made any specific
charges against the home The complaints
were nearly all made by former inmates
of the home. The editor of Rossville who
published an anonymous letter making
charges against the superintendent. was
invited TO testify, but he failed to appear
Concerning the rumors of frequent use
OF intoxicating liquors by the officers, Mr.

THE CIRCUS TO-DAY.
Barnum & Bailey Great Show to Give
Two Exhibitions.

The Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth will exhibit at the old show grounds
on West Washington street this afternoon
and evening.
The street parade will leave these
grounds at o'clock in the morning, and
will take about an hour and one-half to
cover the route through the principal
streets The hours advertised for the cir
Gus performance in the big tent are p. m.
and p. m, but it is the part of wisdom
for those who want to get the full value
of their invested half-dollar to present
themselves at the main entrance an hour
before that time The menagerie is the
finest collection of expensive animals in the
country, and includes a number of rare
species nowhere else to be found. The
gorilla Johanna is the most interesting of
the animals, and probably the most brainy
and intelligent animal ever in captivity.
Johanna is much younger than Chicko, the
first of Mr.. Bailey's pair of gorillas, but
she has already developed greater intelli-
gence than he possessed. With her the
initiative faculty is strong and she does
whatever she sees people about her doing,
as if anxious to get into the swim of
human society. She wears skirts and
house wrappers, sits at table and eats with
knife and fork, smokes cigarettes, stirs her
toddy with a spoon and drinks it off like
a seasoned old justice.
But even more interesting to the think
ing spectator than the collection of animals
is the group of rare specimens of humanity
that occupies the most prominent place
under the menagerie pavilion Here are
the Orissa Twins, Radica and Doodica. two
young. Hindoo girls, who are Joined to-
gether by living hgature more wonderful
than the Siamese Twins. They are very
pretty and are only fourteen years old,
and when in New York recently were very
unjuStly taken out of the exhibition by the
orders of the Gerry Society, whose agent
couldn't see that they were better off in
the bright atmosphere of Madison-square
Garden than cooped up in freaks board
ing house. Here also are the largest and
smalleTt of living humanity-Ella Ewing,
a young Missouri giantesS, nearly nine feet
tall and Great Peter the Small, a wee mite
of man only twenty-five inches high,
small enough to go to bed in Miss Ewing's
shoe Peter weighs 6l2 pounds less than
the majority of healthy babies at birth.
There is also a fine vaudeville show given
here including a concert on all the odd
and little-known instruments of both an
cient and modern times and of both savage
and civilized nations. In addition to the
other attractions of the menagerie tent,
a fine military band. assisted by the beauti-
full young cornet sooist, Jessie Miller, gives
a high-class concert during the preliminary
hour.
