EAST CHICAGO.


The automobile party, which started
less than a fortnight ago from East
Chicagoto attend the national conven-
tion of Mystic Shriners at Louisville,
KY, returned Sunday night. The par
ty was composed of Mr.. and Mrs w c.
Bailey, in whose machine the trip was
made; Mr.. and Mrs. George W. Lewis
and Mrs. A. G. Schlicker. Mr. John
w. Dacy was another East Chicagoan
who attended the convention but he
went by train. Every member of the
party is enthusiastic over the fine time
that was enjoyed, and speaks in glow
ing terms of the hospitality they found
awaiting them in the metropolis of the
state of Blue Grass. beautiful women
and good "likker." "Howdy" had been
adopted by the southerners as their
watchword. and this hospitable greet
ing was not only heard on every hand,
but stared the visitors in the face from
every point of vantage. In the day
time il looked up at them outlined in
foliage, flowers and otherwise from the
velvet of emerald lawns. At night it
was flashed before their vision from
glowing electric bulbs There was sell
dom an instant that the stranger with
in the gates was not made to feel that
he was welcome, if by no other token
than this familiar sign The city in
every district was elaborately decor
ated for the occasion, and there was a
brilliant illumination every evening
during the term of the convention. The
beauty of the court of honor is re-
ferred to in terms of highest praise by
the members of the East Chicago par
ty, and the parade was spoken of as
an especially interesting feature. Par
ticularly so was the showing made by
the patrol, whose members were in
fantastic Oriental garb of richest col
oring and presented an unusual and
brilliant spectacle. Another feature of
the event was plantation concert in
which 300 of the real plantation dark
les" sang songs peculiar to their race
