SUNDAY SCHOOLS ASSEMBLED FOR GREAT PARADE Demonstration Today Surpassed All Others in the History of the Schools of Wayne County.

CHAUTAUQUA

THOUSANDS JOINED IN MAKING EVENT EPOCHAL.

Nothing Similar Ever Had Been Attempted or Consummated Before Outside Townships in Celebration. "Suffer the little ones to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of j heaven." Never in the history of Wayne couny has there been such an exhibition of the spirit inspired by Jesus Christ, as the parade of the Sunday schools held this morning. Their countenances radiating the love and innocence possessed only by children, thousands of representatives of" the Protestant denominations, joined in the greatest rally ever held in this section 1 of the United States. The parade was an exhibition of the teachings of Chris1 tianity. Caste, creed, denomination and belief were laid aside and all united in the exemplification of the principles of Christianity. To the thousands of citizens of Richmond, the parade of Sunday school children was a revelation. The force of the teachings of such institutions is well known but that such a display could be the reBult of an organized effort never had J entered the mind of the conservative man, unacquainted with the strength of the church. "Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war," played the bands. Bugle and drunk corps added to the martial tone and "A Sunbeam, a sunbeam, I'll be a sunbeam," sang the children as they passed by. Who was there who saw those cherub faces, that did not pronounce the words they sang as the truth? Little tots with voices not strong enough to be heard above the roll of the wagons on which they rode, could be seen moving their lips in unifcon with those of their stronger voiced companions. Childish glee and laughter were added and the shrill voices of the rejoicing "lambkins" rose above all else. The merrier the paraders the louders their receptions by the thousands of persons who banked the sidewalks and crowded out into the streets to obtain a better view. Hard handed sons of toll at work In repairing the street car tracks stopped their work. The sweat and grime was mopped from their brows and many removed their hats in reverence to the children, as they passed before them. Military pageants arouse a feeling of patriotism in those who see them, but the effect of this exhibition and the realization of what It typifies created a different sense. That 5,000 persons iwould leave their homes and their work to join In a parade simply to Show they believe in the tenets of the Sunday school Is explained only by the understanding of the brotherhood of tnan. Floats and vehicles of more magnificence and accompanied by larger delegations were given prominent places tn the parade, but none could create a deeper feeling than the exhibit of the Union Mission Life Saving Stations. Dn one wagon was constructed an imitation of a rock bound light house and on the second wagon was a group of children in a boat. "Throw out the life line," sang the children and hundreds of persons were moved to tears as they heard the words. Their spirit was the Sunday school lesson Idealized. E. J. Humpe, president of the Wayne County Sunday School association, wore an expansive smile as he marched at the head of the parade. He had good reason to be in a happy frame of mind for back of his afoot, on horseback, on bicycles and in carriages, floats and wagons, were, it Is estimated 5.000 Sunday school children, teachers, workers and ministers. The parade began to move from the corner of Third and Main streets about 9:45 o'clock, headed by the Ministerial association and city offi rials. When President Humpe, his escorts and the Richmond City band were filing through the Main entrance f the chautauo.ua grounds the middle of the immense parade was just pass Jng Eighth and Main streets. "The biggest thing of its kind I evr witnessed" remarked James M. Shaw, manager of the Richmond Chautauqua. Truly it was one of the larg est parades ever held in Wayne county. The police estimate that there were fully ten or fifteen thousand out f town people in the city and the line f march was lined by thousands of people, who crowded out beyond the curbing to witness the spectacle. Of the estimated 5.000 people participating in the parade it is probable that one-third of this number represented Sunday schools outside the city. These Sunday schools were giv en the honor of heading the parade. The spectacle this Christian army .(Continued on Page Seven.!

fa, 'in n -Miiiiinrifl' JOHN E. REDMOND. Redmond is chairman of the Irish Parliamentary party and is expected to arrive in this country the middle of September. He will be accompanied by Joseph Devlin, M. P. They are representatives of Ireland to the Convention of the United Irish League of America to be held in Boston. MINERS WON 00T IN THEIR STRIKE Two-thirds of Those in Bituminous Fields Went to Work Today. OPERATORS SURRENDERED. BREAK CAME IN THEIR RANKS YESTERDAY AND CHECK-OFF SYSTEM WILL BE IN FORCE IN . THE FUTURE. Terre Haute, Ind., Aug. 22. With a complete victory for the miners, the strike which has been keeping the mines in the" bituminous coal field idle for several days was pract.cally brought to a close yesterday by the announcement of several operators that they would allow the check off as the Vandalia Coal Company has already done. As a result of this decision it Is expected all the rest of the mines in District Number Eleven will be heard from today to the same effect and that by Monday every shaft in the bituminous field will be in operation. The first inkling the miners had that the operators were weakening was at about 10 o'clock yesterday morning, when a message reached Terre Haute from some of the miners employed by the Clinton Coal Com. pany stating that notices had been posted announcing Jhe check off would be allowed. Few Will Hold Out. "All right, go to work," was the reply of T.-esident Van Horn. From that time on the calls came thick and fast and by the time the office closed a number of other mines had declared their position. With this before them the few remaining mines in the district will not hold out longer, it is stated. Among the principal mines which agreed to allow the check-off were the Mildred, Caledonia and Forest Park shafts of the Consolidated Indiana Coal Company, the six mines of the Deering Coal Company at Clinton and Crown Hill mines Nos. 1, 2 and 3, be longing to the Clinton Coal Company. Hugh Shirkey, vice president of the Bituminous Operators' Association, is one of the stockholders of the Deering mines. The resumption of operations at the mines named means the employment of about 2,000 men, which means that two-thirds of the miners who were working in the district were at work today. BRYAN REFRESHED AFTER LONG TRIP Arrived in Chicago to Discuss Finance With Leaders. Chicago, Aug. 22. Bryan arrived here refreshed and jovial and was greeted by a score of big democrats from all over the country, headed by Norman Mack. The station was thronged to the utmost capacity and rousing cheers bespoke the popularity of the Nebraskan. He bowed and smiled in acknowledgement as he was escorted through a double line of policemen and hustled off to the Auditorium where his campaign managers discussed plans for battle, not overlooking the question of raising money Jfor the campaign.

Arrangements Will Be Made Whereby Meeting of Federal Appointees Will Be Held at

That Time. WOULD MEAN ADDED EVENT OF INTEREST. Also, Would Bring One Hun dred Representative Men of District to City Arrangements for Agricultural Day. As further indication of flattering prospects for the Fall Festival, it is probable the postmasters of the Sixth district will agree to hold their convention here at that time. At present the convention is set for October 14, but upon the request of Postmaster Spekenhier, who will act as host on the occasion, It is more than likely the other officials will agree to an earlier date. This will give the postmasters an opportunity to see this city, when it is in gala attire and at the same time will provide an additional attrac tion for the festival. There are 100 postmasters in the district. The executive committee has undertaken to provide an event for this city under the auspices of the Young Men's Business club that will surpass anything of the kind ever attempted locally. The organization has been promised the assistance of other societies and the business men and gener al public will lend support, as the fes tival will bring thousands of visitors from out of the city to Richmond. Many of these visitors will not only come to see, but come to make purchases as well, and as it will be at the opening of the season for fall trade, merchants can expect reimbursement for whatever outlay they make to as sist. The agricultural exhibit will be one of the most prominent features. To give "agricultural day" a good momentum at the start, Secretary Harris of the Y. M. B. C. has written the fol lowing letter to the civic organizations of the city: Gentlemen The products of the agricultural districts surrounding the city of Richmond and the manufactur ing products of the city have never been exhibited to any extent, consequently there are very few people who are familiar with the products of the various departments of the district. In order that the country people may be brought in closer touch with the town people and become familiarized with each other's products, the Young Men's Business club are arranging exhibitions and a program under the name "Fall Festival," to be held the first part of October. To accomplish this end most effect ively the affair must represent the concerted effort of the citizens of Rich mond. The Festival is not a one club affair, but Is intended that every citizen join in the work and help push Richmond on to the next notch above her sister cities. We therefore bring this matter to your attention and ask your co-operation. Suggestions from your organization will be very acceptable. Very re spectfully, ' E. H. HARRIS, AN INSURANCE MAP One in Preparation for Use Of the Companies of This City. INCLUDES MANY DETAILS. The Sanford Map company has two representatives in the city preparing drawings by which a new map of the city will be made for insurance pur poses. The men take all details of the buildings, such as the size, con struction, location, distance from water mains and fire plugs, fire alarm boxes, elevation of the ground, and various other details that are essen tial to the fire insurance men. The new map will also have a report of the water works system. The work was started in June and it is believed that the work will be completed by November. The map will be published in February and the local insurance agencies will receive copies imme diately and the rate board of the dif ferent companies will receive copy. The maps will give everything that Is necessary to the insurance companies in fixing the rate on differ ent properties. McQUAID IS IMPROVED. Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 22.

PROGRAM WAS RENDERED.

The sixth annual reunion of the Bulla family was held at the Glen Thursday afternoon. There were more than fifty members of the family present to enjoy the program and bountiful supper. There were sever al out of ton guests present, among them being B. Bulla of Spero, N. C, and Miss India Southerland of near South Bend. The minutes of the last meeting were read by Miss India Smelser. The talk on the old north state by David J. Coppoch proved to be the most inter esting talk of the afternoon. Letters were read from the absent members of the families and a number of vocal selections were given by different persons of the party. The reunion of next year will be held at the Glen. Four members of the family have died during the past year. Among them was Howard Burgess of this city. COLD SHOULDER TURNED TO KERN Frosty Reception at Milwau kee Resulting From the Democratic Split. 0'NEIL GETS THE BLAME. AFTERMATH OF REPROACHES AND RECRIMINATIONS HEARD AS RESULT OF ICE WATER THROWN UPON OUTING. Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 22. Evident ly the members of the Associated Rose clubs are not early risers. At about 8 o'clock yesterday morning an elderly man, still showing signs of weariness after several hours' rest in the Plankinton House, walked to the hotel desk and turned in the key to his room. "What time does the Milwaukee train to Chicago, leave?" he asked the clerk. He was told the time and turned, traveling bag in hand, to leave the hotel. "Would it be too much trouble," he asked of a bell boy, "for you to direct me to the Milwaukee depot?" The bell boy gave him the direction The elderly man picked up his bag. walked unattended down the hotel lobby, entered a carriage, was driven, alone to the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul station and left the city. This was the finale of the visit of John Worth Kern, running mate of W. J. Bryan, which had been heralded as an event to be marked by the outpouring of 25,000 Milwaukee democrats. This story was told today as an example of the extent to which the Wisconsin democratic split has gone. It is said that several democratic alderman, many of them close to the mayor object to the reported candidacy of Jojseph P. O'Nei secretary of the club, for the office to be created by the mayor's department of supplies ordinance. The Wonderland celebration was in the hands of Mr. O'Neil. and the nonattendance during the afternoon is said to have followed an understanding between members who object to the secretary's ambitions for public office. An aftermath of reproaches and recrimination has resulted from the Rose club's picnic at Wonderland Wednesday. All through the city the local democracy was torn up over the reception accorded John Worth Kern, democratic nominee for the vice presidency. The Aylward men accused the Schmitz forces of throwing cold water on the affair and purposely keeping away from it in order to give it the appearance of failure, while the Schmitz contingent returned the compliment by charging the Rose people with trying to run the whole show and falling down, and of failing to notify prominent democrats of their appointment on Important committees. COLORED KNIGHTS HOLDMEMOBIAL Services Will Be Conducted at Bethel Church. The Colored Uniform Rank Company Knights of Pythias will hold Its first memorial services at the Bethel A. M. E. church tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. An excellent program has been arranged. The company will attend in a body. All friends are cordially invited. THE WEATHER PROPHET. INDIANA Sunday fair, light to fresh west to rthwet winds,

This Morning's Program Was Postponed Until Afternoon On Account of Late Arrival Of Parade.

DIXON'S LECTURE WAS OF GREAT IMPRESSIVENESS. Told of Resemblance of Money Leaders to Men Crying "Socialism" on Street Corners And Inciting Anarchy. All interest in the Chautauqua this morning centered In the Sunday school parade. Dr. Joseph Clark of Columbus, state secretary of Ohio Sunday schools and International recording secretary was to have delivered an address at eleven o'clock but owing to the late arrival of the parade at the grounds the address was postponed until 2 o'clock this afternoon. At !3 the county Sunday 6chool coun. net in round table discussion ai the children's tent. The leaders discussed ways and means of making the Sunday school demonstration productive of the greatest good, and also of helping the weaker schools of the county. At 1 o'clock the boys and girls athletic games were held in the meadow just north of the Chautauqua grounds. The games were under the direction of Roy J. Horton, Y. M. C. A. physical director and were a decided success. At three o'clock the Whitney brothers gave another concert assisted by Mrs. Whitney, reader. At 7:30 this evening they will give another enter tainment, their last but one of a popu lar nature on the program. At 8 o'clock John B. Ratto comes with his character sketches. Mr. Ratto does his own makeups on the plat form, right before the eyes of the au dience. By means of wigs and greas ed paints he changes instantly from American to Irish, German, Italian, Cockney or Swede character. This will be one of the star entertainments of the Chautauqua. Halpenir Gave Talk. In place of Dr. Clark, E. W. Hal penny, state secretary of Sunday schools made a short address this morning. Mr. Halpenny paid a glow ing tribute to the Wayne county Sun day schools, saying that this was the biggest Sunday school rally that the state of Indiana has ever seen. He also said that E. J. Humpe, president of the Wayne county association, has no peer in Indiana amoung the county leaders. Mr. Halpenny is an earnest worker who travels constantly over Indiana and knows all its Sunday school conditions. He declared that the spirit manifested today excelled anything he has ever before seen in a Sabbath school pageant. He warned the workers not to rest on their oars, but to follow this grand showing with action. He also entered an urgent plea for sympathy with other counties of the state which are not so fortunate. DIXON ON SOCIALISM. Delivered Clear, Logical and Forceful Argument on Subject. If the artificial concentration of capital cannot be restrained the end of it all will be socialism. And that will be the daadliest blight that has ever befallen mankind. Some capitalists and financiers are the arch-criminals of civilization, the mad-dogs of society. And they control vast millions. These men have caused the socialistic propaganda. The socialist would tear them out of society as he would tear a snake from the grass. But the socialist is wrong. Hie methods are wrong and he has in some way bungled his facts. The capitalis is a necessity to society. His wealth is the life-blood of the nation. "The capitalist and the socialist are at the opposite ends of society; as far apart as the poles of the earth, yet they are both working toward the same end, the concentration of wealth. The triumph of either would mean the destruction of the individual and the death knell to progress." Such are typical paragraphs from Frank Dixon's lecture, "The Man Against the Mass." delivered at the chautauqua grounds last evening. Mr. Dixon is strong, resourceful, individual, himself the best exponent of the doctrine which he so powerfully defends. Born in tfc old South where the individual spirit runs high, impatient of restraint, he has come forth to combat socialism which he describes as the coming cloud upon the horizon. Mr. Dixon declared socialism is not a demand for the seizure of property and the distribution of wealth, but a movement to place all business enterprizes in the hands of the governmentSocialism and anarchism have nothing in common, though the end sought by both is equality. Anarchism upholds the individual at the sacrifice of govjLContbraedr a fsaset SeveaJ,

BLAME BOSSES FOR DAGO RIOT Claim They Drove Employes To Desperation by Tactics Pursued. APPROACHES PEONAGE. PROSECUTOR HAS NOT DECIDED WHAT ACTION TO TAKE AS RE SULT OF RIOTOUS ACTIONS AT WILLIAMSBURG. If the reports Prosecutor Jessup has received are authentic, and it is be lieved they are, the men in charge of the C, C. & L. Italian camp, north of the city, where the maddened foreign ers engaged In a riot Thursday night. virtually held the ignorant laborers In peonage. In some of the Southern States laws have been enacted prohlb iting peonage, but there is no such law in Indiana, Prosecutor Jessup has been Informed that the wages paid the Italian labor ers virtually revert back to their em ployers because tne foreigners are compelled to purchase all their sup plies from the camp store. "I understand that the boss of the camp will buy handkerchiefs at whole sale, each costing him about a cent and a half, and that he will sell them to the Italians for about ten cents. A shirt costing the boss fourteen cents will be sold to the Italian for seventy five cents," stated Sergeant McManus this morning. He also stated that In some cases, after all of a laborer's wages had been secured by his purchase of supplies at exorbitant rates, the laborer would be discharged without a cent. Despite the wiles and schemes of his American employer, nearly all the Ital ians in the Williamsburg camp have succeeded In saving some money and. Sheriff Meredith stated this morning, they will use these savings to defend themselves on the charges of rioting which may be placed against them. The riot at the Williamsburg camp Thursday night. It Is stated, is only the result of, the high-handed tactics of the bosses. The ignorant foreigners were driven to desperation by these actions. Public sentiment is in sympathy with the Italians to some extent and after the case has been given a hearing this afternoon It may be the authorities will bring some action against the men who were in charge of the Williamsburg camp. Prosecutor Jessup is non-commital as to what action he will take in this case. WANTS TO SHAKE WITH OLD FRIENDS "Strick" Gillilan Anxious to Meet Former "Standbys.

Reviewed Acts of Last Three

Administrations and Pointed to Them as Indication of i Progress. DROVE HIS REMARKS HOME WITH ELOQUENCE. Meeting Highly Enthusiastic And Virginia Republicans Lauded His Words Ne-: groes Cried "Amen." Hot Springs. Va.. August 22. Wil liam H. Taft made answer to Mr. Bryan's query. "Shall the people rule?" In a strong speech, here yesterday afternoon by pointing to the fact that in 1896, 1900 and 1901, by constantly In creasing majorities, the people reject ed the Democratic candidates and re tained the Republican party in power. - The speech, made before 4.000 en thusiastic Virginia Republicans, was the most spirited the Republican ran. didate has made since his nomina tion. Reviewing the acts of th iat th. Republican Administrations, he defended the party's attitude on th tar. iff, its management of the finances' ana its regulation of the monopolies, extolled the record of -Its legislation in me interest of labor and glorified Its work in Cuba. Panama and the Philippines. He was particularlr effective In an appeal which he made for the politi cal regeneration of the South, whose Interests, he declared, lay not In that blind devotion to party which has made the "Solid South" a vest nocket ' asset of the Democratic bosses in the North, but rather in devotion to the principle on which the old Jeffersonlan Democracy based their political faith. Kept Republican Rules. j Answering Mr. Bryan again In the matter of the rules of the National House of Representatives, Mr. Taft observed that the Senate, which has no such rules, has been criticised from the same source, but It Is sometimes impossible to transact the business of the nation by reason of the filibustering that Is possible, and he drove this point home by declaring that when a Democratic House succeeded that which was presided over by Speaker Reed, the Democrats promptly adopted the old Republican rules. The meeting was highly enthusiastic from start to finish, and after Mr. Taft had concluded his address practically every one of the 4.000 who heard him formed In line and shook his hand at the edge of the grand stand, where the candidate and Mrs. Taft had an impromptu reception. Scattered among the crowd were scores of negroes, and none were more enthusiastic than these. "Amen, Brother Taft," cried one o!J negro, after each telling point In the speech. "God bless you." re-echoed another. ANN1VERSARYIS HELD SemT-Centennial of LincolnDouglas Debate Recognized at Ottawa. MONUMENT IS ERECTED, Chicago. Aug. 22.
