GrOtesque Parade.

The Modern Woodmen of America, whose
membership is rapidly approaching three
quarters of a million, are going TO bring
their organization directly before the pub
lie Tuesday of carnival week by a state
log rolling. This is a new thing for In
diana and for indianapolis. Ii means the
concentration of a large part of the 20, 200
members of the order in this State at the
carnival. and realizing this the carnival
association has set apart the day for the
Woodmen to celebrate. The Woodmen are
enthusiastic in their efforts because the
day is the foundation of their effort TO
bring the 1903 conclave of the order here.
The programme for the day, as arranged
by the committee Of Indianapolis camps,
includes a meeting of the delegates from
the camps of the State at Odd Fellows
Hall at IL o'clock Tuesday morning. On

decorating and the flower parade, has taken
up his work energetically and he thinks
he can make use of the great amount of
the material of last years carnival in the
is in excellent shape, but wherever neces-
sary it will be supplemented with new
stuff. 1t is expected that about $4,000 cleo
trio lights will be used in the street decora-
tions and that Washington street for a con-
siderable portion of it's length in the bust
ness district will receive a great amount of
this decoration. However, the plan for
illumination includes Pennsylvania street,
Meridian street and Illinois street to the
Union Station, besides the Illumination of
the inclosed midways and adjacent streets
where exhibits are being made. Mr.. Cor
man believes that decorations leading TO
the monument, but not going further, will
bring out the effect of the beautiful stone
pile better than TO reinforce it by either
color decorations or Illumination. He
ment cannot be enlarged by such a dis
play.
MARION CLUB TO CAvORT.
The grotesque parade is developing nice
ly. and it is likely that this will be a bigger
feature than at first contemplated. The
prizes offered by the committee have slim
ulated a number of organizations to UNI
usual efforts and the competition for the
money offered is assured to be somewhat
strenuous. LENDERS of the Marion Club,
headed by Leopold R%othschild and a num-
Der of others who delight i'm such things,
are planning to push the political pomp
and splendor such as it would be impossi-
BILE to describe in the language of a three
sheet poster. Mr.. Rothschild himself will
participate. II is expected that he will in
clude some of the late Zulus of Floyd
Woods's and the Indians of Eugene Saul
cey's creation. The indianapolis Light Ar
tillery is discussing plans for its effort to
get the $500 first prize, and the English
ZouaVes think they Will not nave to go to
very much trouble to put themselves on an
equal footing. The order of the Great Ski
His, which is a side degree Of the Young
Mems Institute, will put one hundred men
in the parade, and they are now ransack-
ing all the costume establishments within

the Elks are PREPARING for a display; al,
brought up until Friday night at the reg
ular meeting. 1t is believed their participa-
ton will be a marked feature of the DEM
Onstration. Anderson Elks are interested,
and several other gas belt organizations,
including some members of the Haymak-
ers, are getting ready for an entrance into
the parade.
