ADMISSION WILL BE FREE

The erection of the high fence that is to enclose the grounds of the Orphans Home carnival and street fair was begun yesterday. and before nightfall the work men had succeeded In making much head way.
 It begins to look as If a carnival was al- ready under way in the neighborhood of Second avenue and Seventeenth street, where the main arch and entrance to the enclosure will be located. It developed yesterday that several local persons have been laboring under the impression that the carnival would be held at East Lake. Just how this idea ever came to exist, 1t is difficult to say but the fact remains that the erroneous belief existed in the minds of many.
 The Location.
 The enclosure, within which the street fair and carnival Is to be held, Is located on Second avenue and extends from Sev- enteenth street west to Fourteenth street.
 The carnival is to be given for the bene- fit of the Orphans home of East Lake, an institution that has proven itself most worthy and truly charitable No matter what the sect, all orphans up to the linn itations of the institution are given well come, and a good home upon application. The financial revenue. received by the Orphans home from the carnival will be devoted to many much-needed im- provements at the home grounds, and the unanimous hope Is that the success of the venture will exceed the most sanguine hopes of the committee Tn charge of the event.
 The Orphans.
 On Tuesday afternoon all the orphans will be brought to the carnival in body and every show on the grounds will be visited. Colonel Mundy, of the Mundy Amusement company, will personally guide the party of orphans to the various shows, and will see to 1t that each de- tail of interest and educational value Is fully explained to them.
 Tuesday afternoon, May g. will also be "Childrens Day" at the carnival, upon which occasion every child of IA years or under who presents a school ticket at the main gate, will be admitted free to the street fair.
 The free distribution of 10000 school tickets will be made Saturday April 3O promptly at 10 o'clock in the morning at the court house corner, intersection of Third avenue and Twenty-flrst street Those in charge of the distribution of tickets to the children will be the Rev Father P. A. O'Reilly, President c. $. Simmons of the Orphans Home commit tee Peter Houppert and Al D. Camp bell.
 More particulars of the distribution of tickets will be made public fin due time. The sight that practically all the child ren of Birmingham and suburbs will make, gathered together and anxiously awaiting the beginning of the ticket dis tributlon will make a picture well worth the time of going to see. and 1t Is fairly certain that a large number of grown-up people will also be on hand.
 The Shows.
 On Chlldrens' Day, Tuesday. May B. in addition to the free admission to the grounds of all children holding school tickets. the admittance to each of the shows will be reduced one-half excepting at the Royal Hippodrome, where child ren accompanied by grown persons will be also admitted free.
 In this show will be seen Diavolo loop ing the loop, the Muncie Zouaves In their famous drills, the Millman trio of high tight wire performers the Mangene troup of whirlwind aerobats, the Francelias. whose demonstrations of strength and physical culture Is easily one of the real features of the show. and Marvello, the man who dives head first from the top of slender ladder, over l50 feet high, aloght- ing in a small tank on the ground, con taining but five feet of water.
 Tuesday will be a gala day for all the children and those in possession of in- dulgent parents will be on hand to enjoy the fun as well as those less fortunate little folks from the Orphans Home at East Lake,
