MAY FESTIVAL SEAT SALE

The Richmond Festival Associa-
ton is being warmly congratulated
upon the merits of the program
which has been prepared. For the
three concerts there could not have
have been more attractive offer
ings. The artistic success of the
Centennial Festival is assured and
there can scarcely be doubt that
the project can be otherwise than
successful from a financial point of
view. Recognition of the great
work that the promoters of the fes
tival have done in bringing such an
array of artists to Richmond, will,
it is declared, be accorded not only
by the people of this city, but by
the music-loying people of Eastern
Indiana.
The first choice of Season Seats
namely $500, will be offered at the
store Of the Starr Piano Co, 93jl

THE HERITAGE OF THE GREEKS.

The American team has been declar-
ed victor in the Olympian games
which has just been held at Athens,
Greece. Out of twenty-nine events
the Americans carried off twelve
firsts, six seconds, and five thirds
England was second and Greece and
Sweden were tied for third place
This victory places the athletes of
the United States ahead of those
from any other country on the globe,
and comes all the more appropriately
for having been won in Greece, the
land in which athletics were first
brought to a high state of perfection.
The athletic heritage of the Greeks
now rests in this country, and like the
American cup, so often and so holly
contested for in the international
yacht races will probably remain here
indefinitely.

To the Editor of the Palladium:
Some of the ministers have inter
ested themselves unnecessarily in the
welfare of us workingmen, as to how
we should spend our Sundays. Would
it not be well for the clergy to remem-
Der that courtesy is a good thing and
that we do not care how they spend
their Sundays. Why should they
bother about us? | presume that the
ministers of Richmond get from ten
to thirty dollars a Sunday for preach
ing and if we mechanics and day la
borers could get as much we would
not want to go fishing and picnicing,
but when we work six days hard, we
feel the need of recreation on Sunday.
If some preacher will come and
take my place in the shop six days |
will go to church twice on Sunday
and not charge anything for it.

Los ANGELES UNSCATHED
CHARLEY GATES LETTER

METROPOLIS is IN THE BEST
OF coNDITIoN-clTY FILLED
WITH REFUGEES.

In a letter that Harry Gates has
just received from his brother Charley
Gates. of Los Angeles, considerab BILE
light is thrown on the situation as it
now exists in the southern California
metropolis. Mr.. Gates was formerly
a we'll known Richmond newspaper
man and is now connected with the
Los Angeles Herald. His letter in
part says:
THE old town of Los Angeles has
not gone up or down from the earth
quake shocks but is simply digging
away to do its part in relieving the
distress at Frisco. Los Angeles is
taking care of all the refugees who
come and | can assure you that it re-
quires lots of money and provisions to
accomplish the task. Jim Jefferies,
the champion pugilist, and others of
the fraternity were out yesterday
selling oranges for the benefit of the
Frisco sufferers and these articles of
fruit brought as high as $40 each. The
Southern Pacific has been bringing
refugees into Los Angeles by the
trainlOad, carrying everybody without
! cost. Los Angeles will profit to a
considerable extent for thousands OF
! these refugees. will remain here, and
majority of them are good citizens
Los Angeles has no fear from earth
quake disturbances. The city is built
on different ground than that upon
which San Francisco was built. Many
people suppose that Los Angeles in
times gone by has suffered from
earthquakes, but this idea is wholly
erroneous. Slight, trembles have been
felt but absolutely no damage done
