The St. Charles hotel, where the reunion head quarters were opened today, the old St. Lotus hotel, where many of the veterans will be lodged during taeir stay in tie city, and many public and private buildings are blossoming out in wealth of bright colors.
 The program of the entire four days of the reunion has been ar ranged so as to provide many in terestlng features.

on that work.
Sometimes officer Ford finds house
whore the women are unable to under
stand or talk the English language,
but they generally have a child
in the family who can under
stand and speak tho language and
then the child is called to give the officer
the desired information. At times the
officer finds house in which nobody
can speak or understand the English
language; the officer theb hunts uT
somebody nearby who can speak both
English and italian and takes them
to the house and gets this information.
The Polish districts are being looked
after by Officer Jakubowsky, who is
a Pole, and therefore no trouble is
experienced in that work.

where else. They are called the float
ing population. Then again there ar
several serving time in the workhouse
but when they are at liberty they max
their home in Wilmington and thu
