tittle Village, South of Rich mond, Asked to Send Delegate to the Great Bath, England, Pageants. , BOTH LORD MAYORS AND DUKES SIGNERS IVhen the Postmaster of the Franklin Township Village Received the "Bid" He Was Astounded.

', : The hamlet v of Bath, twenty-two tniles south of Richmond, along the line of the C. C. & L. railway, la just now in the throes of excitement, because of the fact It has been officially and very formally invited to send a representative to England in Jul v. to be present at and participate In the festivities to be held in the ancient and honorable city of Bath from July 19 to 24 inclusive. Time was, and not so long ago. that bath. Franklin county, the metropolis of Bath township, was scarcely known Without the precincts of its own bordVIBl uut nucu IUO KJ, v. nil . VH Fill 1 1 1 ma TT1H II II1HHPFM in 1U11UW Ins the snake-like trail of the newest road, sat up and took notice of Bath, , and from that day to this, the town lias been taking on new frills. ' , Postmaster 8tunned. The other , day however, when a Jiuge envelope was discovered lying at the bottom of the pouch thrown from the C. C. & L. mail train, the postmaster fished it out and almost fell in a . faint when he rdad ' the Inscription, "To the Right Honorable Mayor of . Bath. Franklin County, Indiana," Now Bath may have been putting on frills as an indication of its growing importance, but municipal, frills It has ..imm uimajt anil m it mtocnrv fit public servants ' the title of 'mayor Is 2t to be : found. The village postaster took a second look at the . be- ' ribboned and fedWaled envelope 'and found the posGnark "Bath, 'England," and a printed return card, announcing" that the- mlssiv be returned in certain time to the committee in charge of the "Bath Historical Pageants." There was much to disturb the mind of the postmaster. The big, bulky envelope would either .have to be de livered to some person 'i entitled to receive It, or it would be lcbeled "unknown" and fired . to the seaboard to be carried back to England. - v Hurried Consultation. ' There was . a hurried consultation of those who run affairs in Bath, and It was decided that the addresi on the envelope was simply designed to get the message Into the hands of the highest officer In the town be he mayor or town constable. To make a long ' story short, the l envelope was opened and the contents caused heart throbs of the most violent sort. Historical Bath, England, a city that was la existence when the Roman empire was at its height; where King Edward was crowned on Whit-Sunday, A. D. 973, inviting an almost obscure namesake in the Hooeler state, to send a representative to its great historical celebration 1 The good people of the village thought the whole thing a Joke, until the official summons had been carefully gone over time and time again. There could be no mistake. Impressive Signatures. There was the signature of the highest dignitaries of the city. J. W. Knight. Esq. J. P., the Right Worshipful, the Lord Mayor of Bath, had attached his signature with a flourish characteristic of the English municipal officer. The Most Honorable, the Marquess of Bath, and His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, also subscribed to the authenticity of the Invitation.1 Little wonder that Bath, , Franklin County, Is excited these days. Somebody from the little village will be picked to make the trip cross the Atlantic, to witness the five days of historical , pageants, which promise to rival anything that old England has ever sprung ; on the world. And the best of It Is that who over the representative from the village may be, all expenses are to be paid by the city of Bath, England. .Every city and town In the United States that has taken its name from the Mother country's famous and historical spot, has also received invi- . tatlons to be represented and when , the vast assemblage of; Britains and -visiting foreigners is on hand to witness the opening of festivities on the afternoon of July 19 next, none, in that throng will be more proud of his . distinction than the citlsen of Bath, vranklin county. Indiana. BEGIN OPERATIONS. The contractors, English Brothers of Champaign, 111., who are to construct the new high school building. ' Nu$h and North C streets, comjneneed operations yesterday. They ' are engaged In hauling machinery to the site. A largo force of men will be . employed In a f e wdays to malts the tststsxvj. excavation.

The gameness of George Brown, a

teamster, Is all that prevented a seri ous runaway and probably an accident on North Seventh street, yesterday. The team became frightened at the rattling of some iron wheel barrows at Seventh and Ft. Wayne avenue, just as the Warner school pupils were on their way to school. Brown held onto the reins, even though the team dragged bim along, and finally succeeded in stopping them. His nervy act was not attended without danged to himself, as several of the heavy wheelbarrows fell off the wagon and just missed crushing him. The school children and teachers were much frightened by the runaway. SMALL DAN CUPID PLAYED HIS PART AMONG TEACHERS Little God of Love Was Quite Busy With the ..
