In response to many requests from persons who were unable to attend the afternoon concert, Mr. Sousa has kindly consented to rejKat the1 'Dance of the Mountain Elves'' and "March of the National Guard' as encores this evening. These were composed by S. A. Thompson and scored for the baud by Mr. Henry R tinge of this city. There are still good seats to be had.

TO THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN THIS CITY EXCELLENT PASTOR The Members of the Church Fetl That They Have Made a Very Wise Choice. Rev. Kuhn, of Frankfort, Indiana, has accepted a call to the Christian church of this city, and will preach his first sermon here in a few weeks. Since the departure of Rev. White the Christian church has been without a pastor, and for several months the question of a pastor has been under discussion. Rev. Kuhn and many others have preached as candidates, and of all the list Rev. Kuhn made the best impression. Accordingly, a meeting of the whole church was held and after due consideration a call was extended to Rev. Kuhn, vho has been pastor of the Christian church at Frankfort, Indiana. The call was accepted. Rev. Kuhn will arrive in this city within a few days, or weeks, at the most. Rev. Kuhn is a very eloquent speaker, and when he appeared at the Christian church his powerful sermon, his eloquence, and his evident qualifications for the work,caused him to be, in the minds of many of the parishioners, the next minister. The members and officers of the Christian church feel that they have made a wise choice, and one that will prove very advantageous to them in eiiv" wav. '""In" Frankfort Rev. Kuhn of the city, and the Christian church there has great lv leadership. increased under his 4-YEAR-OLD BOY SCALDED IS DEAD Clarence Mertz Died in Great Pain Yesterday.

Monday the boy, Clarence, met with a terrible accident. In some way, while reaching up for a bowl of broth which was being heated on a small gasoline stove, he pulled the broth and the small stove both over. The boiling broth poured over his head and shoulders, cooking his flesh in a terrible way, and the gasoline stove fell right on his Ivead, and it is thought that the flames from this burned him also. A doctor was hastily summoned and for four lays worked faithfully, applying all known methods of alleviating the severe pain. The flesh of the boy's head and shoulders, as well as the upper torso were badly burned, and blistered. Cooling appliance were placed upon the boy and as much of the pain drawn from the burns as Avas possible.

PAOL DUNBAR

Not Dying Health Not Good but No Immediate Danger. While Paul Laurence Dunbar, the famous negro poet, is doubtless suffering from an incurable malady, the report sent out from Dayton, this week to the effect that he was dying is misleading and has caused the poet and bis mother serious annoyance. Mr. Dunbar although confined to his room a part of the time is dressed and about the house and to callers is cherful and conversational. His home on Summit street in West Dayton is pleasantl located in one of the best parts of the town, the house being a large and comfortable brick, with an excellent outlook and here Mr. Dunbar receives his friends. Since the report of his death has been sent out j dozens of letters and telegrams have been received from all over the conntry, as well as a deluge of dowers and inquiries, Mr. Dunbar, while in a precarious condition is not regarded as in immediate danger. RICHMOND BOY ACTED BADLY CHARLES LUNDY GETS INTO TROUBLE AT VEVAY STOLE RAZOR & MONEY Formerly Had a Shop in This City Much Wanted Young Man Money and Razors. Some time ago Charles Lundy was the owner of a barber shop at South Eighth and E streets. He sold out and left town. It seems that he got into trouble in Yevay, according to the following story from the Reveille: Harry Sullivan, the clever Ferry street barber is mourning the loss of .".r0 in cash, five razors and a pair of shears. And thereby hangs a tale. About ten days ago there drifted into town a man and a boy. The man's name was Charles Lundy and the boy was his sou. The fellow Avas a barber and as Mr. Sullivan was needing one badly, Lundy was employed and '.rave pood satisfaction as long as be worked. He claimed that his home was at Hichmond but that he was sep arated from his wife. On Mondav of last week he received a telephone message from Red key, Bid., and told Sullivan that he wanted to go to Cincinnati on Tuesday, to send the boy to Richmond, and that he would bring his sister down to keep house for him. Of course, you know, he needed a little money to make the trip on and would Mr. Sullivan be kind enough to advance him a few dollars until he could get back ? Sullivan smelled a mouse but concluded to chance it anyway. Lundy also thought it would be a good plan to take along about four razors to have ground, but after he bad gone, Sullivan found the number had increased to five, with a pair of shears thrown in for good measure. Lundy was to Us back on Thursday night sure, but he didn't come, and there ends the story unless Mr. Sullivan can learn of his whereabouts, when in all probability there will be "something doing , there are at least two, other parfties in town who would like to see ! r 1. 1 T J'r n .. 1. uiiniy. i. i. .lane, orui, jon board account; Ohio River Telephone company, two messages, . 1.00.

GREATEST NIGHT OF THE CARNIVAL

ENORMOUS CROWDS FILL THE ENCLOSURE A CERTAIN SUCCESS Financially Will Be the Carnival This Fact is Now Assured by Last Night. Last night was the big night of th (carnival, and the attendance far our. did that at any previous evening. Th weather relented a little and the w'uvl did not sweep down on the carnivpi with such fierceness as to deprive th pleasure seekers of all the wartntl; they iossessed. Beginning about hall past six and lasting until nine almost a steady stream of eople poured through the gates. The street cat? were loaded to the guards, and hundreds walked to the grounds. Th? smallness of the grounds, the only drawback to the carnival, was showr. plainly last night, and the crowd win tightly packed. Hie free acts can.? otf splendidly, and no mishap of any kind nor accidents to either performers or spectators marred a very pleasant evening. The shows opened earlier than usiuU to accommodate the large crowd and remained open until a very late hour, and during the evening the performances, which were given as fast r they could, were attended by very large numbers. The new shows t In t have been installed came in for a share of public patronage and later approval. "Creation" did the champion business of the night, though, nearly every one making a break for that tent immediately on their entrance to the grounds. The "Crertion" performers worked overt in: and harder than did those of any other show. The carnival grounds presented a particularly beautiful scene, with the moonlight flooding the grounds enougli to warrant the disuse of the electric?. The merry crowd took everything by storm, the outdoor attractions were crowded with pleasure seeker, and the enclosure was filled with a jostling, pushing throng. At a very late hour the crowd began to depart, but it was long after midnight whe:i the gates were closed. That the carnival will be a financial tsnccess is now assured, last night." (attendance, marking the highest of the week assuring the success of tie j afTalr- T,,e attendances at the performauces have been larger than tho at any previous carnival, and the shows, clean and wholesome in a better degree than those of any previou carnival company, have warranted this attendance.
