These authors will read from their own
works, and it can readily be seen what an
interesting entertainment will result. When
the scheme was first brosched 70 Mr.. Riley
he Immediately interested himself in it
and has been enthusiastic in his wish to
make it a great success. Mr.. Riley's ap-
pearances before the public of Indianapolis
are so rare that the opportunity of hear
ing him read some of his own poems and
stories in his inimitable way is always
taken advantage of to the fullest extent.
He alone would be a sufficient attraction
TO fill any hall in the city for this or any
other cause, and when il is considered that
besides Mr.. Riley will appear seven others
of Indianas foremost authors the extent
of the programme offered will stamp it as
one unequaled anywhere.
Gen. Lew Wallace is another who is en-
thusiastic over the approaching entertain
ment. He has taken a keen interest in it
since he was asked by the commission TO
contribute to the programme. He gladly
consented to aid in the cause both by his
presence as an entertainer and in every
other way possible.
Charles Major was unable to read at the
Eleanor Hospital benefit last Monday night

owing to illness, but he is recovering and
will surely be in the bill on Saturday night,
May 81. Booth Harrington is in New York
to remain a week, but will be back in am
pie time TO do his share toward entertain
ing the audience.
George Ade whose fables in slang are so
familiar to Indiana polls people, and who
has by their medium entertained hundreds
of thousands OF readers in all parts of the
country, Will be one of the best drawing
cards on the programme. He has never
been seen in public in this city and rarely
anywhere. To hear him read some of
those fables that have caused so many
laughs will be a sufficient attraction to
bring many a dollar to the monument fund.
George Barr McCutcheon, who wrote
"Craustark" and who has gone to Chicago
to pursue his literary work there with his
brother John and George AIDE, will be
found a good entertainer. Meredith Mich
olson and Mrs. Catherwood will each con-
tribute a share to the entertainment, which
will take place in Englishs Opera House
on the night mentioned. It is doubtful if
the theater is large enough to hold all the
people who will want to be present on this
brilliant occasion. Mr.. Riley alone has
filled the theater whenever he has ap-
peared, and when reinforced by his fellow

been canvassed and rejected as not worthy

Mrs. Catherwood, so widely known
through her popular novel, "Lazarre," has
done some public reading in recent months

as in that of story telling. She once lived
in Indianapolis and is known personally to
many people here.
The entertainment is in charge of the

strongly TO the people of Indianapolis and
