RAINY OUTLOOK
SPOlLS CONCERT
Only Few Hundred Go to Long View
Park for Second of Free Open
Air Musical Programs.

The few drops of rain which fell
last evening and the apparent GER
tainty that more and larger ones were
going to follow effectually spoiled the
band concert which was given at Long
View park last evening by Bleuers
band. 1t was the second of the open
air concert series and a large crowd
would have been at the park had the
weather been less threatening, but
under the circumstances only the peo-
pie living in the near vicinity attended,
and most of them were too much wor-
ried about the rainy outlook to be able
to enjoy the music. The program Of the
band was carried out, however, for the
few hundreds who We're present.
The next concert will be Wednesday.
Aug 10. at which time Petersen's band
will furnish the music.

BULLETS WHISTLE
PAST THEIR EARS
Residents in Neighborhood of Four
nue. Make Complaint.

Leaden bullets appear to be flying
promiscuously in the vicinity of Four
teenth street and Eleventh avenue, &C
cording to several complaints which
were lodged at the police station this
morning by. residents from that section
of the city. Two of the compliments
stated that as they were walking along
the street they heard rifle bullet
whistle past their ears in too close
proximity to be at all pleasing. The
police have learned that a. number of
boys, who are probably in training for
a battle with wild Indians, have been
practicing shooting at a target in a
yard in the neighborhood, and the Off
GERS are on the Iookoct for them. If
they are found they will be punished
as severely as the law permits The
city ordinances are very explicit about
the shooting off of firearms within the
city limits.

WILLIAMS is DEAD
Well Known Actor and Evan
gelist Is a Victim of Al
coholism.
AN INTERESTING CAREER
Frequent Falls from Water Wagon
While Conducting RevivaIs
About the Country.


Billy" Williams, the famous evan
gelist and actor, who held revival
meetings throughout Illinois last
winter, died at Elizabeth. n. j., Tues
day night. Williams was Sc years
old and his death is attributed to
alcoholism.
Williams had particularly inter-
esting career. Endowed with unus-
ual abilities as public speaker, he
became an actor, and upon giving
that up became a circus ringmaster
Later he returned to the stage and
appeared in vaudeville. During this
part of his career tBilly's" conduct
was decidedly not evangelistic. He
tried hard to maintain a firm seat
upon the water wagon but was unsuc-
eessful.

THOUGHTS TURN
TO A new HOME
Y. M. g. A. Board to Hold Reg.
ular Monthly Meeting for
July This Evening.
CONSIDER IMPROVEMENTS
Need OF Another and More Modern
Building Shown by Rapid In.
crease During Past Year.

The board of directors OF the Y. NJ.
G. A. will hold Its regular monthly
meeting this evening at the association
building, the meeting having been adj
journed from Tuesday evening, which
was the regular date for the gathering.
Tuesday, however, a quorum could not
be present. The principal business be-
fore the board is number of minor i'm
provements and repairs for the build
ing. These including the painting of
the bath rooms and the papering and
painting of several other rooms in the
building. Several suggestions as to
changes in the interior are also to
come before the board at this time,
though it is hardly expected that any
action on them will be taken. The
Building at present is in very fair shape
for the fall term, which opens in Sep
TENDER, and the prospects are very
bright for an unusually good year.
Need For New Building.
The rate of growth which the associa-
ton has shown since Secretary R. C..
Smedley took hold of the institution
about year ago, has set the directors
to thinking more seriously than ever
about a new building. If things keep
on the present place will soon be COM
pleteIy outgrown. Indications are now
that the membership in the boys de-
partment will have to be limited before
long. A year ago there were about 60
boys enrolled in the junior department,
and now there are over hundred. This
number is about all that can be accom-
modated, but the limit will be made
about $50. When the fall term opens
there is usually rush of boys to join
the association, and it probably means
that a number of them will have to be
refused admission.
The mems department too has shown
a healthy growth. Last year the en-
rollment was 254, and this year it is
325 The men are in need of more
room and a more modern gymnasium
right now.
Boys Continue Meetings.
The boys gospel meetings which in
former years have terminated when
summer vacation time arrived have
been continued right through the hot
weather this year, and it is planned to
have no break in the weekly session at
all. The boys organized September
last, and In the coming September they
will have been in session every Sunday
without having missed one If their
plans work out as expected. Thus far
this summer they have had an average
attendance of from 40 to 45, which is
about as good as they enjoyed during
the winter months. Stereopticon views
are shown and lectures on great Amer
leans, including Washington, Lincoln
and Grant, are the features of the meet
ings during the summer months. In
September there will be a celebration
of the first anniversary of the organi-
zation Of the club. Secretary Smedley
attributes the success of the club to
the fact that 1t is purely boys organi-
cation. They take care of their own
meetings, and do all the business of the
club themselves.
