The New Orleans City Park I'm

hold and has done wonders. The ar
tificial lake, winding its long, sinuou:
length in many convolutive and grace
full bends under handsome bridges and
around little islands adorned with
palms and grass, extends from Orleans
avenue to Bayou st. John. 1t is fed
with water from Bayou st. John
! through a 10inch pipe ABB feet long
The valve permitting this water to flow
into the lake was opened with elabo
rate ceremonies on Sunday, May 3
1895.
The lake is stocked with all sorts
of fish and the public is allowed to
use rod and reel under certain rules
and for a moderate charge. Boats
can be hired for trip on the lake or
for fishing. The park now has beauti.
full shelled drives, walks and avenues
a peristylium, a carrousel, skating
rink, dancing platform, deer pen, hot.
house, many buildings for the comfort
and entertainment of the public and
abundant water for drinking purposes,
both from cisterns and from water
works mains. The park is admirably
managed, policed and taken care of,
and it is a most favorable resort for
families, and for school picnics. On
Saturday, May IS, 1907, there were
nineteen Sundayschool picnics and
several family picnics. 1t was esti-
mated that at least 1858 persons were
in the park on that day.
The board of commissioners has it's
headquarters in a most comfortable
and nicely located house facing Bayou
st. John, and there the meetings aEe
held.
The association now has $40 mem
bers, of whom one is a life member,
two are honorary life members. $40
are men and twenty-one are ladies.

CONVERTED INTO PLAYHOUSE.

During the last ten days the big
dance hall of the Pythian lodge on
Bermuda street has been remodeled
and large stage erected in the rear.
The alterations have practically been
completed and by this change it gives
a greater floor space as a dance hall or
playhouse, and the large stage takes
up all the room which was formerly
occupied as the bar, this room having
been given over entirely for the stage.
The stage is the entire width of the
hall with depth of about twenty-five
feet. 1t will be used for giving local
performances such as are usually given
by churches and social organizations.
The work was mostly done by members
OF the lodges, who deserve a great deal
Of credit for the manner in which they
handled the work.
The hall is now ready for renting
for the purpose of giving entertain
ments.

The regular monthly meeting of the
vestry will take place tonight at the
rectory at 1880 p. m.
Last Sunday Mrs. Helen Pitkir
Schertz assisted in the music of the
morning service with her harp The
organ and harp together harmonized
most beautifully, and the singing was
very good. AS this was the date when
the Chinese government requested the
prayers of the Christian churches over
the world in behalf of their new re.
public the rector spoke of this day as
one of the most notable in the history
of the Christian Church.
A non-Christian nation of over 3OO,.
100000 souls requesting the prayers OF
those Christians whose missionaries
and converts only thirteen years ago
they massacred in the late Boxer re.
bellion, where 135 missionaries were
killed and $4,000 converts put to death,
is an event far greater than the edict
of Constantine decreeing Christianity
the official religion of his Graeco-Ro.
man Empire; which event is being GEL
ebrated on grand scale in Rome and
elsewhere as it occurred 1000 years
ago this year. 1t is the most complete
and final answer to the opponent of
foreign missions.
Next Tuesday evening the Woman's
Auxiliary of our parish will meet at
the rectory. Mrs. Rachel Leverich,
president Of the Louisiana Branch of
the Auxiliary, will be the guest of
honor. A full attendance is earnestly
requested.
Last Sunday afternoon the infant
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred G.. Walter
was baptized, the name Alfred Theo.

the sponsors being Mr. Theodore Bur.

Next Sunday being the first Sunday
in the month, there will be a second
celebration of the Holy Communion at

sion there was celebration of the Holy

Wednesday evening Mr.. F. Henning
ex-school board director, came and
spoke for about half an hour. He
spoke on truthfulness and honesty
and gave us examples of how other
people succeeded and others failed. An
honest man will always succeed, but
a liar never will.
He also spoke about City Park and
told us not to fail to mention about
the fine oaks; how it became a park
and how, from time to time, it i'm
proved. He mentioned manual train
ing, and said that parents should be
ashamed for not attending our exer
cises; they showed little respect fol
the school and for their own children
II parents and boys would speak uI
we could have a manual traing school
in Algiers.
He also mentioned the use of to
bacco, which makes boys lazy and
stupid. Boys who use tobacco can.
not accomplish their work correctly
He wished us success and hoped we
would go through the High School,
and not stop, but keep on going, gain
ing more knowledge.
All boys and men cannot do the
same thing. If they did, the world
would not move. Each one has talent
for something. Whatever we take up,
do right; put all our efforts and en-
ergy into our work.

Its names are "Old Glory" and the
Banner of the Free" At the very be.
ginning of the history of the English
colonies in America the question OF
what flag to use was discussed. The
English flag seemed to many of the
colonies to stand for something OF
which they disapproved, and early in
the Revolutionary War it became
necessary to have a flag that should
belong to the united colonies.
So Congress appointed a committee
with DR.. Benjamin Franklin at its
head, to consult with General Wash
ington regarding such flag. The new
flag was first hoisted and saluted with
thirteen guns at Washington's camp
before Boston.
General Washington is said to have
engaged Mrs. Elizabeth Ross, of Phila.
delphia, to make the first flag. No
changes have been made in the ma.
tional flag since 1918. only the addi-
ton OF new stars. The stars have
been added one by one, until now
there are forty-eight. Every state has

Of the School Board, one who is inter
ested in the welfare of the boys OF
the seventh and eighth grades of Nc.
Donogh No. 4, visited our school and
gave us a few interesting points on
honesty and truth.
He made what could be called a
soul-stirring talk and tried to impress
upon our minds to be truthful, honest
and square in our dealing with others
If we ever hoped to succeed. He also
told us to be persistent in whatever
we did; not to let little things which
may cross our path discourage us;
