The children of: the Fourteenth avenue schools of Oary will give a public performance of an operetta, entitled "The Posey Bed." in the auditorium of the Emerson school Tuesday evening. May 81. This is the first of a series of entertainments to be given by the various school groups, during the closing weeks of the school year. Each school will give three performances of Its particular play and will give free tickets to the children
Of some one of the other school centers for each performance, so that ach child In the city schools may see. Tree of charge, the work of the other children. The purpose of these entertainments is mainly for their educational value. The small admission charged will be used to defray necessary expenses, any surplus being used to purchae art decorations or musical Instruments for the eohools. Parents or others accompanying a child win be admitted for fifteen cents, and other adults twenty-five cents. At this first performance the school children south of the Michigan Central railroad will be given free tickets. A second performance will be given June 7. while the children at Twenty-first and Twenty-fourth streets will play It the afternoon of June 18. "The Posey Bed" Is a musical entertainment for children by Jessie I Gaynor, words by Mrs. Alice C. D. Riley.
It represents a garden In which the children go to make a flower bed. It opens with a spirited chorus by the gardeners as they spade the ground and plant their seeds. Then childlike "sit down to wait until they grow." This Is followed by a beautiful chorus to the down seeds that go floating over the garden while the children run after them. Four little girls carry forward the dialogue which leads to their searching for the first signs of spring.
They soon return with Miss Pussy Willow, who announces that spring has come and, In answer to their questions as to how the seeds grow, she tells them that ft Is a secret, which Mother Nature alone can tell. She produces a magic wand which Mother Nature has given her and declares she can call Into being any flower they may choose. They all agree upon the daffodil, and at her command twelve daffodil ladies
at once appear, "shaking their flounces
of gold." These lh turn summon the violets, crocuses, buttercups and daisies, who come trooping into the garden, making a beautiful picture. They all sing a beautiful song to the dandelion as she oomes tripping In to complete the picture. The flowers are grouped by the gardeners and "all the little marguerites go a-twinkllng" during a song by the chorus. After this the gardeners, whose curiosity never wanes, ask the various flower groups to disclose their secrets, which they do In pretty poses and songs. Then six butterflies enter and flit about the garden visiting the flower groups, and finally playing a game with the daisy lassies. The gardeners then ask the spring blossoms to send them some summer flowers, whereupon the sunflower ap
pears and sings her story. They all agree that the sun Is king of all the flowers, but that there are lesser monarchs, of which King Pansy is greatest. King Pansy enters and all homage is given him. After greeting the flow, ers he calls for a certain poor girl, who
proves to be Lelsel, the girl who minds the geese. She shows her love for her goslings by a quaint song in which the flower maids act as her flock, responding In a characteristic phrase to represent the geese. King Pansy crowns her queen of the May and the flowers celebrate by a pretty movement In pretty
circles, singing appropriate songs sel Is allowed to command her
majesty. King Pansy's suit, were designed and executed by Miss Ida Lull, of the department of art and sewing of the, public, schools. Cast of characters: Gardeners Bondie Cormus, John Bedenor. Tom Petrosic, 'George Mortura. Oesa Kursley, Milliek De Coma, Joe Pollnskl, Frank Csorgo, Thomas

den blossoms grow. The answer Is given In a pretty song. Lelsel tells the story of Madam Swallow. The king commands the poppy lady to dance, after which the May pole Is brought In, and the festivities close amid the singing and dancing about the May pole. The children most directly connected with this particular performance are from the fourth grade roBm, taught by Miss Alice M. Anchors; the third grade room, by Miss Maud Owen, and the second g'rade room, taught by Miss Evelyn Burke. The total number of children Involved is about 85. The children have learned their songs during the' regular music periods. The teachers of all the south side schools have done excellent work in making the flower hats and the Individual flowers carried by the children, under Miss Lull's direction. The special costumes, including his
evening 303 persons had been arrested at the local police station. Of that number nearly three-fourths were arrested for drunkenness and vagrancy. Gary at the present time is flooded with tramps of all descriptions, and Chief Martin is confronted with a serious problem as to how to dispose of them. During the day scores of vagrants are sent out of town, but after walking seevral miles down the tracks they return again In the evening and prey about the saloons. . The majority of prisoners taken to the county seat are floaters who have been arrested before and who have caused the police so much trouble that the only way to dispose of them is to,send them to the county
jail. Scores of them who seek lodging
at the station every night are turned away.
The men's fellowship banquet held at
the First Presbyterian church last evening was both in point of attendance
and the splendidly enthusiastic manner
In which the proceedings were carried
through one of the most successful af
fairs in the church history ot he city.
The banquet was held In the assembly
room of the church and served by the
Ladies' Aid Society and was perfectly served and a toothsome example of the gastronomic art.
The tables were beautifully decorat
ed and the abundance of suptuous silver and chir.a table accessories loaned by the ladies added not a little to the charm of the occasion.
The large number of young ladles
who very efficiently aided In the service of the banquet relieved the sombreness of the men's attire" by the con
trast afforded by their, In many cases,
very charming gowns.
Among those In charge of tables
were Mrs. ft. w. Cousin, Mrs. peter Lamb, Mrs. M. A. Caldwell, Mrs. Robin
son, Mrs. John' McFadden. Mrs. White, Mrs. Gety, Mrs. William MacNell. Mrs. Watson, Mrs. F. S. Bowlby, Mrs. Crop-
ley, and Mrs. F. E. Watson. Mrs. Roberts had oharge of the culinary arrangements. These ladles were assisted by a bevy of the unlor ladles of the church. J. Caldwell Smith, the toastmaster, stated the object of the baquet In wellchosen words and hit a happy vlen
throughout the evening In his Introductory . remarks concerning each
speaker.
The first speaker, William MacNelll,
gave a resume of the cnurcn nistory
nd described Its vicissitudes and suo-
oesses since Its inception In March two
years ago. He mentioned the fact that the First Presbyterian church was the first one built and occupied In Gary and predicted that. In a year or two, there would be three or four other churches In- the city with this as their parent church. In a speech teeming with good feeling, W. J. Fulton, chairman of the board of trustees, dwelt upon the service of the Rev. Fred E. Walton to the church. He emphasized the value of Mr. Walton's work and the regard in which he the pastor is held by all
who have associated with him. At the conclusion of his address. Mr. Fulton
presented Mr. "Walton with a very
handsome sold watch on behalf of the
officers and members of the church
Mr. Fulton'H words were marked by a
delightful tact. The presentation was made gracefully and happily. He relieved the pressure of sentiment by a few playful sallies at the expense of Mr. Walton which added not a little to the entertainment of the benauetera

splendidly and enthusiastically and was replied to by Superintendent .of Schools W. A. Wirt In a comprehensive address concerning the requirements of the youth of Gary and the plans and methods to be adopted in the city. Mr. Wirt, recognising the potent Influence for the good of the youth committed to his care, ' 4n Christianity, spoke with splendid good feeling and gave evidence of great enthusiasm for his work. 'The Comet," a difficult subject, was handled with ease and very piquant humor by Arthur W. Carnduff. Mr. Carnduff is the ideal after-dinner speaker and a humorist of some ability. His extempore poem, tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Watson, was one of the features of

Is It?
Yes, Madam, that's it. The latest thing out the range with the convertible oven. Ordinarily it's called the meat oven in this case we also call it the vegetable oven. Because in addition to the customary broiling and roasting burner over the lower oven, this range has a round burner underneath. With the upper burner going it's a meat oven with the bottom burner going it's a vegetable oven. And strange as it may seem this scheme of cooking vegetables in an oven preserves every bit of flavor and sends the odor up the flue pipe. You might cook onions, turnips, cabbage and beets all at once without fear that a whiff of the odor would ever reach the dining or sitting room. We will wager, too, that the juicy tenderness and delicious flavor of any one of these vegetables cooked in this oven would spoil you for such things cooked in the old way. Please note, also, the extra height of this oven built that way to accommodate a prize turkey or very big roast. There's not a practical modern improvement that has contributed to the efficiency and economy of the gas stove that is not embodied in this type. Get one and you have the last word in gas cooking ranges. Ask to see No. 289 in our catalog at any of our stores.

Mr. Walton, evidently much affected by the strength of the affection and regard displayed toward him by the men assembled, spoke of his gratification
and the spirit In which he regarded his work in Oary. The modesty with which ' he touched upon the subject of the work j he had accomplished in the city Is the j
keynote of his life and work. The principal addresses of the evening delivered by the Rev. Geo. B.
Safford, Ph. D., of Chicago, Captain H. S. Norton, of Gary, and Judge Relter, of Hammond, were all strong and listened
to with great Interest. Dr. Safford, who Is a tthe head of the Presbyterian church extension work in Chicago,
spoke of the Immense opportunities of the church in Gary. He said that probably In no other place In the country Is there a city in which the church has a greater outlook. Dr. Safford Is a convincing and eloquent speaker. Captain Norton address was brilliant and convincing. It was marked by a splendid choice of language and touches of humor which kept the at
tention of his audience with him In In
tense Interest to Us conclusion. The
adddresB was In reply to the Rev. Ed
gar Green on "Other Churches." He
depreciated the division of the Pro
testant church Into so many sects and
stated that the churches here would be !
a much greater power for good were they united as is the case of the Roman Catholics. The speaker made a strong plea for Christianity among men. Judge Relter spoke fluently and ably and expressed his surprise. Jocularly, that so many of the men whom he saw around him were church members. The judge is well known In Gary and had the undivided attention of his hearers throughout his speech. The Rev. Edgar Green spoke of the other church in the city and expressed his pleasure and gratification at 'the opportunity afforded him to be present. Mr. Green Is an able and earnest speaker. R. C. Morrison, who spoke about "The outh of Our Church" broadened his subject to take In all the youth of the city. He handled his subject
J. MacFarlane spoke upon "Christian
ity and Athletics" and emphasized the relation of health and Judicious exercise to more efficient service for the cause of Christianity. "The Ladies" by W. J, Rooda, with a response by Ingwald Moe, was handled gracefully and dextrlously. Mr.
Rooda spoke feelingly and briefly of the necessity of woma nto man and '
Mr. Moe evoked a storm of applause and laughter In the course of his al : lusions to the fairer sex. Moe's talk ' was a welcome climax to the evening. Mrs. Caldwell entertained the banqueters with several songs rendered In her usual charming and finished manner. The banquet will linger long In the memories of those present as a redletter event In the history of the church In Gary and It Is felt that it
will be a source of Inspiration to Its future. There were over one hundred and twenty-five men present and these included a large number of the business and professional men of the city.
duties until sometime in the future after he had gotten his East Chicago bearings. Mr. Foland was very reticent When asked the name of the new officer and where he hailed from, but h volunteered the Information that he was a noisy party with a very red face, who might be addicted to the bottle. When pressed for further Information regarding "the name and so forth of 'the stranger Mr. Foland became a trifle embarrassed and finally Invited The Times man Into a quiet retreat where he admitted that the name had not yet been selected and that as a ' matter of fact he was only a few hours old. When asked how much he weighed Mr. Foland said they had nothing but j ice scales in the house and he weighed so much in those . that nobody would believe him If he told them. Dr. A. G.

v While on his way to the south end of Gary yesterday afternoon, Qourt
Bailiff O. Harry Schmidt,, who has been
lending valuable assistance to the police ever since his appointment, had a peculiar experience and one that for a time made his hair stand on end.
Near the corner of Tenth avenue and "Washington street Bailiff Schmidt noticed a man lying In the sand, apparently sleeping oft a Jag. Schmidt tried to arouse the man, but not receiving the least grunt, he retorted to an old trick used by officers in bringing a drunk to his senses. Taking out his club Schmidt rapped the man several times on the bottom of his feet, but the man paid no attention' to this rough treatment. Lifting up the other foot the officer again applied the stick vigorously, but not the least sign of was then that a little bead of perspiration began to appear on Schmidt's forehead when he came to the realization that probably the man was dead. But he found shortly after that his fears were unfounded, for In turning the man over he discovered that he had been pounding on two wooden legs. Wiping his forehead Schmidt turned away In disgust and, sending in a call for the police wagon, he proceeded on his way.
