MARDI GRAS CARNIVAL
CLOSES IN SPLENDOR
Great Crowds Witnessed Magnif-
cent Pageant of Rex and Co
mus and Attend Balls.
SEASONS SOCIAL EVENT

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 16.-With a pa
geant of SURPRISING s~plendor and the balls
of Rex and COmus, the Mardi Gras carnival
closed tonight. Rex entertained a multitude
of his subjects in Washington Artillery
Hall and in his brilliantly illuminated
throneroom chose for his queen Miss Josie
Halliday. Comus reached back to Babylon,
the mother of all beauty. for his subject,
and gave a gorgeous moving picture of the
epic of Izdubar in twenty cars, which ira
versed the principal streets of the city.
The ball of the ComuS Krewe at the
French Opera HOuse was the eliminating
social event of the season.
Morning trains brought large accessions
to the throngs of strangers gathered to
witness the parades and participants i'm
the social festivities. The weather was
pleasant. Promiscuous maskers afforded
abundant amusement TO visitor and native
alike and the streets were filed with ami
mated crowds. Rex rode through the
streets at the head of a magnificent pa
geant, choosing for his subject, I'm the
Realm of Imagination" The theme was
picturesquely and beautifully handled in
twenty-five cars. Mr.. Frank b. Hayne, the
cotton king. changed his title for the day
and impersonated the merry monarch of
Mardi Gras.
Inquiry at the sanatorium to-day dis
closed the fact of a slight Improvement
in the condition of Hewitt Chapman, one
Of the Proteus maskers who fell from the
and was perhaps fatally injured. Mr.. Chap
man is a native of Bowling Green, KY, and
one of the most prominent sugar planters
and clubmen in the State.

Building Half a Century Old Now

A new building to replace the one fifty
years old now used by the Indianapolis Or

County Board OF Charities, which has Just
reported an inspection of the institution
to the County Commissioners.

Ito expend any large sum of money on
the present building. 1t was built in 1854
for the Northwestern Christian University
now Butler C~ollege-and was occupied by
the university until they moved to it's pres
ent quarters in Irvington, which was about
thirty years ago."
The report commends the management of
the asylum and indicates that more money
is needed each month, as it is quite i'm
possible to make the receipts equal the ex-
penses, even with the ~strictest economy.
There are many pathetic cases in the esy-
lum; one family of five children who have
no mother. and another of four children
with neither father nor mother. There are
los children in the home, fifty-five boys and

Behind the most ancient part of Holborn, Lon

of age still stand looking on the public way. as
IL Gisconsolately looking for the Old Bourne that
has long run dry. is a little nook composed of
two irregular quadrangles, called Staple Inn. 1t

out Of the clashing street, imparts to the re-
lieved pedestrian the sensation Of having put
cotton in his ears. and velvet soles on his boots.
1t is one Of those hooks where a few smoky
sparrows twitter in smoky trees, as though they
called to one another, Let us play at country"
and where a few feet of garden mold and a
few yards Of gravel enable them to do that re-
freshing violence 10 their tiny understandings.
Moreover, it is one of those hooks which are
legal hooks: and it contains a little hall, with
a little lantern in it's roof; to what obstructive
purposes devoted. and at whose expense, this
history knoweth not.

whatever happens to anything, anywhere in the
world: in those days no neighboring architecture
of lofty proportions had arisen TO overshadow
Staple Inn. The w~estering sun bestowed bright
chances on it. and the southwest wind blew into
it unimpeded.
Neither wind nor sun, however, favored Staple
Inn one December afternoon towards 6 o'clock,
when il was filled with fog, and candles shed
murky and blurred rays through the windows
of all its then-occupied sets Of hambers; notably

Professor Griggs Speaks at Athe-

TUESDAY CLUBS GUEST

Professor Howard Griggs. formerly of
Leland Stanford University, spoke last
night before the Irvington Tuesday Club
and it's guests in Athenaeum Hall at Butler
College. The subject of his lecture was
st. Francis Of Assist
Professor Griggs's appearance in Irving
ton was doubly interesting because the
suburb is his former home. His parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph +. Griggs, live on
South Emerson avenue.
The Athenaeum Hall was well filled with
over two hundred people last night when
Professor Griggs was introduced by Mrs.
Joseph Hunter, president Of the I~rvington
Tuesday Club. He is an easy and fluent
speaker. He held the interest of his audi
ence throughout the lecture, which was
one of the best that has been heard in Irv-
ingtOn.
Professor Griggs dealt with st. Francis
as a great moral leader and his influence
in after years. He said that St Francis
preached the perfect brotherhood and lived
in practical obedience of what he preached.

Something Left Undone.

Labor with what zeal we will,
Something still remains uldone;
Something ~uncompleted still
Waits the rising OF the sun.
BY the bedside, on the stair.
At the threshold, near the gates,
With its menace or its prayer,
Like a mendicant ii waits.
Waits, and will not go away;
Waits and will not be gainsafd;
BY the cares OF yesterday
Each to-day is heavier made.
Till At length the burden seems
Greater than our strength can bear
Heavy as the weight of dreams,
Pressing on us everywhere.
And we stand from day TO day,
Like the dwarfs of times gone by,
Who. as Northern legends say.
On their shoulders held the sky.

pour of rain the inevitable accom- p4nimcnt of a great battle, has flood ed the trenches and drenched both armies without anaying the desperate conflict
 The latest word directly from the field of battle is the Mukden dispatch 10 tho Associated Press in which it is said that 15,000 Russians had been wounded which. together with today's casualties, would make the total prob ably exceed the figures of Liao Yang and make the fight rank ds one of the bloodiest battles in history. A pitt able feature is the coming of thou sands of wounded to Muk6en The fields are covered with crippled men. dragging themselves to the shelter of inc hospitals, the wounded helping each other as few able bodied men are beinu spared from tho fighting line.
 It must be borne in mind in reading the descriptions by correspondents at the front some of the phases right in their point of view have already been discounted by official or later news: but taken as a whole, they present q vivid panorama of the situation at the front save at the extreme east. where the heaviest Russian attack was plan ned to be delivered. From that quar- ter the news is less full and satisfac- tory though it seems unquestiona ble that the Russian advance upon the main Japanese position at Bensihu has been checked

 Tho depressing feature of the situa- ton 1s that everyone is willing to be- lieve the worst. Thus, reports from Toki2 and elsewhere stating that the Japanese ere advancing and that the Russians are falling back is accepted with faith based upon the previous Russian retreat
 Y Naturally many reports are current as to the genesis of the forward move mont. IL is stated that General Kuro- patkIn was forced into taking the of fensiNe by pressure from the au .horities here. This has been officially denied. and as General Kuropatkin's order to advance was given over his own sigma ture, # seems likely that he will like ly nave to hear all the responsibility whether the situation is of his own making or not.
 Friends Of General Kuropatkin say the present offensive movement was inspired from St. Petersburg, as was doubtless General StakeIberg's for, the relief of Port Arthur and if Kuropat- k1n's star has set, others than he are responsible. At the same time. the supporters of General Kuropatkin ar \ >gue that, whatever may be the direct outcome of the past few days fighting 1t is not likely to be an irretrievabIe disaster to the Russian army. It is pointed out that Oven if General I<u- roPatkin was forced to advance against his better Judgment, he is too good a general to have undertaken an az gressive movement. which he did not feel strong enough to carry througts without leaving open a road for re- treat and while the Russian forward movement may be an absolute failure so far as the relief of Port Arthur is concerned, and though Kuropatkin may lose many men and some guns, that is the worst that can happen I6 General KuroIatkin succeeds in keep ing the alignment of his forces, and the dispatches indicate that he is deIng -this, and the Japanese do not succeed in breaking up or cutting off any con siderable portion of his army, he will not be in a much worse position, even if he should be forced to retire to duk- den, than he was before the advance began.

 Dispatches from the front give a vivid 'pf-ture of the desperate fighting along the whole line.
