CHILDREN AND FLOWERS
INTERESTING EXERCISES AT MERID-
lAN-sTREET VI. e. CHURCH.
The Sermon Yesterday Morning by
Pastor of Peoples Congrega-
tionsl Church.

The Meridian-street NJ. E. Church was
filed to overfowing last night at the an
nual children's day exercises given by the
pupils of the Sabbath school. The chancel
and organ were simply and tastefully deco
rated with palms and ferns. and when the
thirty little girls and boys marched up the
aisle. singing the professional. they carried
punches Of carnations and other flowers sug-
gestive of the arrival OF the summer time.
The services were beautiful throughout. the
children being assisted by a string orchestra
which blended sweetly with their voices in
the numerous musical offerings.
The choruses. Voices of the Woods and
Shepherd of Souls" were excellently rem
dered by the little folks. Seven of the small
est girls in the school sang THE Snow
Baby each having a little solo part. and
the piece was given with such intense earn
estness and with such fidelity to the ges-
lures which they had been taught that the
congregation became convulsed. and at the
conclusion of the song broke into loud APP
plause in spite Of itself. REGULATIONS and
songs were given by a number of the chill
dren. after which there was a formal pre-
sentation of diplomas TO the graduates from
the primary department.
The Caildren's day exercises held at the
First Baptist Church at l0:S o'clock yester-
day morning were very interesting. Inc
choir loft was filled with young people. from
the Sunday school. who took part In an
arrangement of music entitled Chimes for
Children's Day" by Mrs. T. J. Villers. wife
of the pastor. The chorus was trained for
the occasion by Miss Emma Atkins. One
of the best features of the exercises was
the solo. Cypress Bell" the words and
music of which had been arranged by Mrs.
Villers and her sister. Miss Margaret Mer-
rian. The colo was sung by another sis
ter. Miss lula Merriam. Miss Virginia Os-
good sang Little Blue Bell and Mr.. Vii.
lers gave an interesting talk on the word
Bell Among the special decorations was
a large floral bell, which was suspended

TUXEDO PARKS FIRST CHURCH.
II Is UndenomfnatiOnaI, and Was Ded-
Gated Yesterday.

The first church TO be organized in Tux
edo Park was dedicated yesterday afternoon
and the greater portion of the debt remain
ing was met by subscriptions. The choir
of Woodruff Place Church furnished the
music. Rev. A. d. Barry read the Scrip
lures. and the dedicatory sermon was
preached by Rev. +. A. Hanley. of the
University of Chicago. His address was not
based on a Scripture text. but was a talk on
the line of great results from small Begin
nings. He told the story of the Penny
Palace at Elgin, ILL.,. which is the hand
soonest house in the city, and which was
built by a newsboy from the pennies he had
received for his papers. Prof. Parker. of
Franklin College, sang a solo and congrat-
ulatory remarks were made by Rev. j. c..
Fulmer. secretary OF the Baptist Home Mis-
sionery Society. by j. j. w. Biiiingsley and
Capt. Charles Price. both OF whom were SUI
p~erintendents of the school in It's early
days.
f. n. Williams gave a history of the
work and mission. 1t was organized about
twenty years ago. so as to have a Sunday
school in the park, and has been f~ostered
by all denominations. The church is nom
denominationaL Much of the work on the
church, said Mr.. Williams, has been do
mated. and the lot on which the building
stands was purchased by the Woodruff
place Church and given to this organization:
Since the organization OF the Sunday school
II has had a varied career and for W
years suspended. When Woodrun-Place
Church offered TO buy the lot, the efforts
TO build a church were commenced. The
total cost of the building, as IL stands, was
a little less than 1000. which has nearly
all been paid or is subscribed. Rev. John
Carmen. assistant pastor OF the First Bap-
list Church. sang two solos and pronounced
the benediction.

NEW FIRE EXTINGUlSHER.
Discontinue of an Agent Who Gave
an Exhibition.

A ~well-known employe Of the federal
building recently became the Indianapolis
agent OF a newly-patented fire ex-
tinguisher. Like other inventions of the
kind. the fire water" was corked up in
large glass bottles and lit was only neces-
sary TO break a bottle or two over a blaze
in order to extinguish it"-so the directions
read. The new agent was so pleased with
the wonderful OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES that he
decided to give an exhibition for the pur-
pose of showing off, its powers. so he Sc
cured an old piano box. saturated it with
coal oil. placed ii in a vacant lot opposite
his house and invited a number of friends
to attend the performance. The exhibition
was scheduled for one night last week, and
at the time appointed the agents front yard
was crowded with interested auditors. The
exhibition began. The piano box was set
on fire and the agent. 'mids murmurs of
wonder and admiration. held on high a bot
tie of the new extinguisher, assuming a pic
turesque pose suggestive of a juggleu about
TO perform a feat contradictory to all the
laws of nature.
He paused for a moment over the blaze,
to add to the effectiveness of the proceed
Ing. and then. with a swift. sure stroke. he
smashed the. bottle against the burning
wood. But the box still burned. In fact, il
burned more f1ercely than before. Grabbing
up a second bottle. which he had kept in re-
serve. the agent broke it into a thousand
pieces by slamming it against the box. But
the flames reared higher than ever. The
agent dashed across the street, plunged
through the crowd of spectators in his front
yard and into the house. In another instant
he reappeared with ten more bottles of the
extinguisher, the last of his stock of sam
pies. When he reached the scene of the ex-
hibition the piano box was a raging fur
mace. First one bottle and then the other
was smashed and their contents ~sprinkled
over the flames. And the box still burned.
The agent was desperate. His face assumed
a tragic expression. He felt that life WASH
worth the living. At this point his. guests
came to his assistance with buckets of
water, and even the neighbors took a hand
in helping to put out the fire. AND then.
just as the last flame was extinguished. the
changing of a gong was heard and upon the
scene OF disaster came a fire engine and
hose cart. Explanations were hurriedly
made by the guests-the agent having re-
tired behind the charred remains of the
piano box.

cally. as he drove away. the next time you
have a private exhibition of this kind. just

it and we'll try and arrange to lend you a
