A Slight Mistake.

Chitto Harjo was pleading In Wash
ington for the Indians right to roam
in nomad fashion, like their fathers.
"They tell us to trust to fortune"
Chitto Harjo said, "and then We'll get
our rights. But we are tired of trust
ing to fortune. Fortune has used US
Indians as 1t used the pale face in
structress at the Indian school in
1897"
Chitto Harjo smiled and went on:
"This instructress found horseshoe,
and to get good fortune put it under
her pillow, along with her false teeth.
In the morning in the hurry of dress
ing, she substituted the shoe for the
teeth and did not discover her mistake
till her affianced husband asked her in
tones of horror at breakfast what was
the matter with her mouth"

MEMORIAL DAY CELEBRATION
ATTRACTS THOUSANDS TO ISLAND
Model Conditions Make Program of the Day a Grand
Success Solemn Ceremony of Casting Flowers
on the Water and the Launching of the
Mystic Impress the Throng
OVER 5000 PEOPLE WERE HERE TO CELEBRATE THE DAY

Memorial Day, 1907, goes on record
as being the most successful ever OBJ
served. The throng of visitors were
entertained in a far grander manner
than they have ever been entertained
here before on similar occasion. The
weather man who has been "cutting us
withhiscold shoulder ''oflateina manner
which threatened to become chronic,
was most lenient and opened up his
heart, giving us model but quite cool
weather and Old Sol did his best to
make up for lost time. A conservative
estimate of the number of people who
visited the island on the Both, puts the
number between 5000 and 10000.
About so carloads of excursionists from
Philadelphia, Camden, Bridgeton,
Millville, Vineland and other points
were carried here. A happy, pleasure.
bent crowd it was in most part and the
many attractions of the day kept them
on the jump.
IMPRESSIVE EXERCISES OF THE DAY
The naval memorial exercises of the
day, which originated here, were most
impressive and beautiful. AT 1.30 the
unique parade of over 300 children
from the island headed by number
of old army veterans and Oglesby's
band started down the boardwalk from
the Ocean Pier. The sight was beauti-
full and the crowds massed themselves
on the board walk to see the impressive
ceremonies and sacred rites of the day.
The parade marched to the Casino
Pier where the ceremony of scattering
flowers over the waves in remem-
brance ofour sailor dead was performed
in manner which stirred thousands
of people. The line of march then ex-
tended to the hard, smooth beach
where beautifully decorated auto con-
tanning the mayors of the resorts,
Mayor Hilton, of North Wildwood;
Mayor Baker, of Wildwood and Mayor
Smith, of Holly Beach, led the pro-
cession. Here on the strand, in full
view of the throngs which lined the
boardwalk forsquares in each direction,
the children drilled In many pretty
ways. A flag drill, sword drill, drill

provided with coupon tickets by the

Little Elizabeth Eldredge, daughter Of
Borough Clerk Clarence q. Eldredge,
of Wildwood, was crowned Queen OF
the May.
The launchingo of the flower laden
craft "Mystic" in all its solemn signi-
ficance concluded the ceremonies ofthe
day. As the pretty boat was launched
into the surf to be towed far out to sea,
the band softly played ''Nearer My
God to. Thee" and the people were
silent. The ceremony stirred the hearts
of the audience as never before at a
naval memorial observance and there
were many tear-filled eyes that after
noon.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies
on the beach, the attention ofthe throng
was directed to the bandstand. Here
Wildwood songs were sung led by
Thomas Martindale, of Philadelphia,
and accompanied by Oglesby's band.
J. Fithian Tatem, of Haddonfield,
delivered stirring Grafton and Mrs.
Francis S. Tice, the elocutionist, recited
"The Right of the Line" and the "Son
of Veteran"lin a delightful manner.
PLEASURES OF THE DAY
The day was filled to overfiowing
with attractive features which prevent
ed any danger of monotony. The
Ocean Pier, the Casino, the Crest Pier,
and the numerous pleasure resorts
along the boardwalk offered strong
combination of attractions that the
spirited crowds appreciated. The base
ball game at the Ottens Base Ball Park
in the afternoon attracted large
number of lovers of out door sports.
Sightseeing tours and trolley excur-
sions were very popular. The island
was decked with flags and bunting
from end to end and the boardwalk
with hundreds of flags on every side
floating in the breeze was an enthusing
sight The people just couldn't help
being patriotic and showed 1t in every
actionl
Hotels and boarding houses IN every
part of the island entertained full
houses of guests over the holiday.
TO WHOM THANKS ARE DUE
This Memorial Day ceremonies were
given under the auspices of the Wild
wood Board of Trade and under the di-
rection of the Entertainment Commit
tee, of which Thompson Baker is chair
man. The work of marshaling and

PASADENA, March 7.-At the regu-

chants association of Pasadena, held
at the board of trade rooms this even
ing, the subject Of a special rate to
Sierra Madre through Pasadena from
Los Angeles was discussed and COM
mittee was authorized to take up the
matter with the Pacific Electric peo-
pie and obtain for the Sierra Madre
residents a fare of 25 cents for the
round trip from Los Angeles via. the
Crown city.
The merchants argue that the dis
tance while q little greater, Is not
particularly so and just now the rate
for the Sierra Madre trip through
Pasadena is more than that charged
for the regular trip.
The merchants also decided to es-
tablish q collection agency to be run
In connection with the association and
to handle bad debts for the association
members.
The movement is a growing one

ORDER OWENS
BOND ELECTION
COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE
WHOLE FAV0RS ACTION
For Three Hours s2s,ooo,ooo Issue Is
Discussed Behind Closed Doors,
as Is a Plan to Abolish the
Receiving Hospital

For nearly three' hours yesterday
afternoon the city council as a COM
mittee of the whole held an executive
session. Because the Owens river was
the subject under discussion it was
deemed best to close the doors.
Two important decisions were made
the owens bond election will be
formally called at Mondays session oi
the council and the proposition of DR.
Keyes, rendering the facilities of the
Emergency and General hospital to the
city as substitute for the receiving
hospital free of expense will be taken
up by the council on Monday also.
On the owens river project the dis
cussion was desultory because of the
absence of City Attorney Leslie r.
Hewitt. He was sought in vain
neither messengers, councilmen or Of
flee associates being able to reach him
Mayor A. G. Harper was there and re-
mained an hour answering questions
now and then, but as a rule acting
the part of listener while the lawmak-
ers each had their turn at debates.
Councilman Dromgold presided at
the session.
1t was plainly pointed out that the
issue must be voted in a lump. Nc
other course was safe. This was the
advice of the bond experts who were
heavily feed for their work. 1t is the
only suggestion which financial men
will listen to.
The councils prompt action next
Monday will result in an election be-
ing called late in April and the bonds
can then be issued in June. In the
meantime construction work is going
ahead rapidly.
Patronage Issue Bobs Up
Concerning the receiving hospital Of
| fer councilmen who keep an eye open
on spoils were not quite satisfied yes
terday just how the proposition should
be received. 1t would do away with
the patronage, though 1t would save
the city about 5000 month in doctors
salaries. drug expenses, etc.
| DR.. Keyes argued that he would get
recompense through the clinical oppor-
tunities offered by the cases, the pros
pective business for the hospital that
these patients would bring indirectly
and because of the cheaper facilities
there, such as help, wards, abundant
ward room and large medical and nurs-
ing staff, the hospital was in posi-
tion to produce better results than the
out-of-date institution maintained ir
police headquarters and by courtesy
only called a hospital.
Mayor Harper said after the ses'
sion

pie. I spent a pleasant hour with the
council. 1 know better than to ge'
