ALL MAY Be ASKED|
TO GIVE FUNDS TO
FALL FESTIVAL
Subscription Campaign May
Be Attempted by the Young
Mems Business Club of
Richmond.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
WILL HAVE CHARGE.
Committees Will Also Be
Named to Solicit Funds Ov-
er the City-Agricultura|
Display to Be a Feature.

To defray the expense of the Fall
Festival it will require about $4,000
and at a NEE eeting of the finance COM
mittee last evening, plans and means
to raise this fund were discussed. 1t
is probable the card system will be
adopted for soliciting contributions,
such as was followed by the Young
Mems Christian Association in its
campaign for funds.
1t has been decided by the Young
Mems Business club, that it is most
advisable for the festival to be con-
Quoted under the auspices Of the ex-
ecutive committee alone and not by
the entire organization. The execu-
tive CO.. Nttee of the club has been
augmel and members added from
among the business and professional
men of the city. The club officers
hold that it will be an affair represen-
tative of the business interests of the
entire city and should not be under
the supervision of any organization in
Poi lICuldI DuI d Coopcl dtis z
event
Nimrod Johnson, chairman of the
finance committee, will appoint COM
mittees to assist in the work Of solic-
iting funds. These committees will
be announced tomorrow. Every bust
ness man and manufacturer and pro-
fessfonal man in the city will be Civ
en- opportunity to contribute and pri-
vate citizens will be extended the
same favor.
AS much attention is to be paid to
agricultural day as any other. Be
sides the coliseum, it is probable the
market house will be used for the pur-
pose of an agricultural display. The
city council may be asked to close
Seventh and Ninth streets on both
sides of Main to A streets during the
festival, so as to provide more room
for the exhibits.

INDIANA PYTH|AhS
MAY VISIT CITY
Young Mems Business Club to
Work for Next State
Encampment.
RICHMOND STANDS CHANCE
SENTIMENT FAVoRING THIS CITY
AMONG MEMBERS OF ENcAMP-
MENT coMMITTEE-THIs Is A
PYTHiAN CENTER.

It is quite probable that the annual
state encampment of the uniform
rank, Knights of Pythias will be held
encampment will be held at Indiana
polls and committee representing
the Young Mems Business club will go
to Indianapolis and bring every influ-
ence to bear to secure the 1909 en-
campment for Richmond. The en-
campment this year will be held dur
ing the month of September. but If
Richmond is chosen as the site of the
next encampment the Young Mems
Business club will endeavor to have it
held during the month of October.
which is the most enjoyable season
of the year in this section of the state.
Secretary Ed Harris of the club is
quite confident that the 1909 encamp-
ment can be secured for Richmond.
He states he has been informed that
there are several members of the en-
campment committee who favor Rich
mond and if this city shows 1t really
wants the encampment, it has a bet
ter show of Sc curing it than any other
city in the state.
Annually over four thousand
Knights attend these events and they
are a most desirable body of men for
any city to entertain. Secretary Har-
ris says that it can be easily seen
what a benefit such a large conclave
would be to the business interests OF
the city.
Richmond is one of the Pythian
strongholds of the state. With the
exception of the Red Men the K of p,
order is stronger in this city than any
other secret society. Richmond has
three K. of p. lodges, the Triumph
the Couer de Lion and the lola 1t is
an assured fact that all thrdee OF
these lodges will assist the Young
Mems Business club in bringing in
fluence to bear in securing the next
meeting. 1t is also quite probable
that Charles E. Shiveley, ex-supreme
chancellor of the Knights Of Pythias
will use his influence TO secure the
encampment for Richmond. Mr.
Shiveley is one of the most promin
ent Pythian leaders.
Secretary Harris states IL Rich
mond secures the 1909 event, it is
probable that the tents of the Pythiar
army will be pitched on the chautau
qua grounds at Glen Miller park
This, it is thought, would make ar
ideal site

Tourists Visiting Him Do Not
Stand in Awe as He Is
Kindly and LovabIe, Says
Father Rager.
LOCAL MAN KISSED
FAMOUS PAPAL RING.
Holy Father Interested in
Those Things Which Were
Told to Him at Audience
Granted.

Pope Plus does not remind one of
a prince of the church. Rather he i'm
presses you as venerable, kindly
father"
This was the statement made by
the Rev. Father John Rager of this
city, who has just returned from n pill
ten days in the ancient capital of Italy
and, through Cardinal Del Val, papal
secretary of state. he secured an audi
ence with the Pope.
Father Rager states that hundreds
of pilgrims visit the Vatican each
| week and that it is not difficult to
secure an audience with the Holy
Father. This simple, democratic old
man is always glad to receive the
tourists. He asks them many ques-
in church and politiycal affairs in the
various countries they come from.
Father Rager states that to see
Pope Plus is to love him. The local
man in company with a number of
other tourists entered the Vatican and
were ushered into reception room
This party included both Catholics
| and Protestants. In a short time the
| Pope entered the room and he at once
offered his hand to all of them so that
they might kiss the papal ring. To
many he addressed questions and lis
tened with the greatest interest to the
replies he received. At tn conclusion
of the audience the pilgrims bowed
! the knee and received the blessing OF
the Holy Father.
Father Rager stated that he did not
stand in awe of the venerable head
of the Catholic church. Like all the
pilgrims he felt as though he was in
the presence of kindly. lovab1e man
whose smile was like a benediction
The Romans tell a story on Pope
Plus, which gives good insight into
his domestic, democratic character
and bears out the description of the
Pope as given by Father Rager
When Plus was elected Pope, so the
story goes, he turned to the cardinals
and said. Gentlemen you cannot elect
me pope. I have a return trip ticket
to Venice and l use it,
After leaving Rome, Father Ragel
went to Austria, Switzerland. France
and other points on the continent. He
had a most enjoyable time but the
most cherished incident of his triy
was his audience at the historic ole
Vatican with Pope Plus.
