first really "summer" Sunday of the year..' ; -' .

At Jackson Park the many improve ments, the new veranda surrounding the pavilion, the, new swings, etc., all were veiy acceptable to the crowds that thronged the place during th afternoon. The R.

The park was gaily decorated and had a fine appearance of freshness. Entertainment. .

Hughes performed his last services at the First Presby terian church yesterday morning and closed his long pastorate, longer probably than any other Indiana min ister of whatever denomination. Yes terday he presided at his last com munion service and much feeling was shown by all the members of the church. Next Sunday the services will be held as usual, but with an other minister in the pulpit. Yesterday the church was filled to ihe utmost with people who desired to be present at the last services held by the beloved pastor, some of whoir he has baptized and married and all of whom are extremely sorry to see him depart after having filled the place for so long Rev. Stanley C. Hughes, formerly of this city, assisted his venerable father in the com munion services. Closing of a Long Pastorate. Rev. Hughes preached his farewell sermon last Sunday morning and his resignation takes effect July 1st. Consequently the sermon next Sunday will be preached by one of the applicants for the pastorate. Several applications Lave been received by the board, but as yet none have been accepted. Dr. Hughes has been pastor of the First Presbyterian church for nearly fifty years, a very enviable record, a id has been intimately connected with it for a much longer period of time. All over the State he is honored and revered as one of the oldest pastors and one of the best, and his resignation caused a deejs feeling of regret, not only among his congregation, but among all who knew him.

They were sent from Chicago by A. E. Wilson, chairman of the Illinois Prohibition state committee. Large pictures of Miles will be displayed in Tomlinson hall during the convention. Although General Miles is evasive. he is said to be 'willing to accept the nomination. This week's issue of lb 3 New voice, Prohibition national organ, makes the unqualified statement that he will accept. John G. Woolley, editor of the New Voice, wrote to Gen. Miles suggesting that the Indianapolis convention ought to be post poned, until after the Democratic na tional convention and stating further that: if he (Woolley) did not hear fron Gen. Miles at once he proposed -uoiflqfuojj 9uj jo sumnToo Qxn dsn oi national brgarT!8' boom 'him for the presidency. In reply he received a telegram from Gen.

BREEDING PLACES OF DISEASE r FOUND BY INSPECTOR. s.- - NORTH PART OF CITY Seems in the Worst Condition Many Improvements in Sanitation. ' 1 While generally speaking, the city is in a better sanitary7 condition than it has been for some years past, many of the citizens would be really shocked ond alarmed for the general health could they but accompany the health inspector on his canvass in some parts of the city. In some of the worst sections of the citv tli3 filth is simply and literally awful. Houses are close together and ventila tion and sanitation are almost unheard of. The northern part of the city seems to be in the worst condi tion and there is where the most work needs to be done in oredr to get the place into a healthy state. Or ganized efforts will be made to weed out the unhealthy places as far ?s possible and to get the city into a condition of health such as it has never been before. Reports are made ertch day as to ihe investigations made that day, and if all the improvements that are proposed are carried out, the germs will "fold thtir tents and steal away" as there will be no place for them here. Three new resolutions will probably be nassed which will aid in getting the city and entire state into a better sanitary condition; the establishment of a state laboratory of a state hospital for consumptives, and for medical inspection of school children.
