BATHING BEACH, DANCING
AND MOVIES INCLUDED
Eight. Acre Tract Back of Ice Houses
to Be Utilized Only Temporary
Structures For This Summer, With
More if Plan Is Successful-To Open
Soon.

With the clearing away of under
brush on the ground back of the Mar
shall Ice Company's ice houses near
the water works, the first steps were
taken Monday for the establishment of
an amusement park. which the pro-
motors hope to have ready for public
use by the middle Of August.
The tract of land on which it is
planned to erect several buildings
and put up amusement devices Of
various kinds comprises about eight
| acres. c. w. Nelson. of the Marshall
Ice Company; E. A. Stoddart and Leo
Meulhaupt, the latter manager of the
Casino Theater are behind the propo-
sition, and expect to incorporate the
enterprise under the name of the Mar
shall Amusement Company.
To Have Free Bathing Beach.
Besides making the tract of land an
attractive place where people may
come and be amused, the promoters
plan to make bathing beach along
the banks of the river on the west
side of the tract of land. Free bathing
will be permitted, as large sand bar
will make such amusement safe, the
promoters say.
Hopes to Do More Next Year
Because of the lateness Of the sea-
son. the company does not plan to
erect anything of an elaborate nature
this summer but will simply give the
matter a trial. One Of the men in
terested said this morning that the
experiment depended mainly on the
people. If the park is we'll patronized
the remainder of the year, more money
will be spent next spring. A dancing
pavilion will he erected this year,
however, a merry round, shooting
gallery refreshment stands, and other
devices. Moving pictures will also be
shown Places will be provided where
families may bring their lunch or
supper. and the walk from the end Of
the Third street car line TO the park
will be built so as 10 afford an easy
means of reaching the grounds. Prob
ably $4,000 or $4,000 will be spent this
year The park will be partially ready
for use inside Of ten days, the pro-
moters think, but the formal opening
will be staged some time in August.

HAS THIS IN
THE LATEST BOOTS NOW

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept 19-Boots with
hand painted tops are the latest fad
among Atlanta's smart set. Miladi pur-
chases a pair of boots with white tops
nat are black like an unwritten
page. She takes the boots home and
gets out oils or water colors, as the
case may be, and adorns the tops with
beautiful pictures. Sometimes
landscape strikes her fancy, sometimes
= gorgeous boquet of roses, sometimes
a wreath of autumn leaves it all the
mellow tone and colors of the esason.
There is no limit to the play of mag
ination or fancy. A lady can decorate
the tops of her boots with any picture
she wants to paint, and she is the sole
judge of what is most appropriate
Likewise she can purchase boots with
tops as high as she pleases, and in
sure lively interest in the same by q
proper combination of decoration and
daring shortness of skirt.

AMERICAN LEPERS ARE
FOUND AMONG JAPAN

YOKOHAMA, Japan, Sept. 19.-The
discovery of about twenty-five Ameri-
can lepers in different parts of Japan
las become a pressing problem fol-
American officials and for American
Associations of Japan which is under
taking to secure their transportation
to the American leper home in the
Hawaiian islands.
The lepers have made their way here
liz recent years with the hope that they
might be healed at the famous Jap
anese hot springs, especially those at
Kusatsu which is always crowded with
japanese lepers taking the water.
Gradually they have drifted to mis-
sionary leper hospitals or have III
other ways become burdens on the
community. In view of the excellent
asylum at Hawaii the American Assc-
citation is taking active steps to secure
their removal.
Leprosy is one of the great questions
seeking solution by modern Japan. i.
Is estimated that the lepers of the en-
pire number about $4,000. Five gov
ermental leper asylums were estab-
lished in 1907, but they accommodate
only few thousand. The remainder
are scattered over the country desper-
ately seeking cure in the lot springs
or publicity begging in the market
place or before the temples.
At the last session of the Diet the
Japanese Leprosy Prevention Society
petitioned for the establishment of a
national leprosarium on some island
in the Pacific Ocean The cost of the
asylum was estimated at SS,00O,00o
and its maintenance at $250,000 a
year. 1t is believed that at least one
third of the lepers could be housed
and treated at once and it was con
