BOILER MAKERS AS GUESTS
WILL VISIT WORLDS FAIR
International Convention Dele
gates Favored by Big Four
Railroad Company.
MEETING TO END TO-DAY

AS guests of the B.g Four Railroad. three
hundred master boiler makers from all
parts of the country, who are holding their
annual convention in this city, will leave
tomorrow morning in three special coach
es for st. Louis to spend several days at
the exposition as a pleasant finale to their
convention. The cars and passage are
furnished free of cost by the Big Four,
and the members of the association are
much pleased with the compliment which
the railroad company is to pay them.
Many of the wives of the boiler makers
will accompany their husbands.
To-day is the last day of the Interna-
tiOnal Master Boiler Makers convention,
and it promises to be a busy one, as most
of the business will be transacted. Great
est interest is centered in the election of
officers. 1t is generally believed that w. II.
Laughridge, of Columbus. o., will be elect
ed president of the organization, and j. L.
Goodwin. of Richmond, Va, will be chosen
first vice president. After a custom, the
officers are advanced one place each year.
A spirited contest is expected to result
in the selection of a convention city for
next year. Three cities have been an
nounced us intending TO make a fight for
the convention. They are Cincinnati, Buff
falo and Columbus. There has been some
objection TO Columbus because of the fact
that last years convention was held there,
but. on the other hand, the accommodations
offered by the c:Sy were so good that many
are in favor of the city. Other business
to be transacted to-day is the appointment
of new committees and the assignment TO
them of topics for discussion at next years
convention There is also some talk among
the members of creating a number of new
committees. One that is needed, it is said,
is a committee on designs. The report of
the secretary will also be read to-day. 1t
will show that during the past year the in
crease in membership has been at the rat
of 80 per cent. The financial report will
show the organization to be on a sound
basis although no effort Is made to create
a general fund, as the association is for
educational purposes, and In no respects
is similar TO a labor union. a great many
of the wives of the master boiler makers
are attending the convention, and to-day
they will begin movement toward the or
ganization of ladies' auxiliary, the object
of which will be social enjoyment.
Yesterdays session was devoted almost
entirely to the discussion of topics In the
morning, a proposition received from the
Master Steam Boiler Makers Association
of Chicago. seeking consolidation, was
turned down by the railway master boiler
makers by a unanimous vote. The railway
men consider themselves strictly a railway
organization. and do not care TO unite with
outside associations. The convention will
close this evening, but the members will
remain over until tomorrow morning.

WEATHER MAN IS KIND TO
THE GENTRY PONY SHOW
Crowd Throngs Tents and Many
Persons Are Turned Away at
Night Performance.

The weatherman decided late yesterday
afternoon that he had sent rain enough. and
during the afternoon the clouds disap-
peared. This. in a measure accounted for
the fact that the Gentry shows last night
turned people away before s o'clock. The
tents were jammed to their utmost capacity
and quite a number of late comers were
turned away for the lack of seating ca
pacity. AS usual the animal actors have
caught on in Indianapolis. and if the
weather continues favorable the remainder
of the engagement. the seating capacity
will be tested at every performance. The
Elks are being congratulated on every
hand for their kindness in taking the or
phans TO see the performance Tuesday aft
ernoon. The children OF the Deaf and
Dumb Asylum attended the performance
in body yesterday afternoon The en-
gagement closes Saturday night and as
there are only six more performances to
be given il will be a case of "go early or
get left"

FOR ROYAL SPECTATOR

Final arrangements are being completed

Fisher may be seen any afternoon when
the weather is fair driving his big Mohawk
racer around the track at an express-train

day. where is located a local of the Inter-
national Typographical Union. an election
was held. carried on under the Australian
system, 10 name local and interns tional
officers of the organization. The contest
this year was especially interesting because
of the feeling that has been created among

Denver the present national president and
secretary, who have been in office for the
last two terms of two years each The

his influence for Lynch in the fight at Gin

delegates the principal fight was for the
local presidency, the contestants being Ed
