V COTS, AND WILL ADDRESS THE
It WHEELING BOYS?SPEAKING,
CONCERT AND DANCING AT
WHEELING PARK.
Never before has there been and poislbly
not again In many years will
there be such a gathering of school
boys as that called for this evening in
t, one of the council chambers at "the city
- building. The meeting is called by Elmer
Bonnette and Harry Weisgerber,
? thirteen year old school boys, of the
? Union district public school, for the
p purpose of arranging for next Friday's
$ demonstration, when it is expected
6 Wheeling's school boys will raise sev
eral hundred dollars for the "American I
!? Boy" battleship fund, the particular! or
which were first given In the Intelligencer
some time ago, Just after the I
Idea was sprung by young Rankin
Good, a Woodward high school boy, of j
Cincinnati.
On Friday, the management of the I
Wheeling & Elm Grove railroad has j
agreed to give a goodly percentage of
it* receipts to the "American Boy" j
fund, and the boys propose to do all I
they can to encourage a record-breaking
day of traffic on the suburban line.
At to-night's meeting many of the details
of "American Boy" day will be
} arranged. Master Bonnette, who has
taken the foremost part In the movef
ment here, will preside at the meeting,
D and no doubt his assistant, Master
z Weisgerber, will be ot the secretary's
desk. Mayor Butts and City Clerk
^ Watk!n9 would do well to attend the
meeting and get some pointers from the
youngsters.
r Master Bonnette submitted to an in^
terview at the hands of an Intelligencer
reporter last night, and outlined his
plans with n clearness and entire grasp
of his subject that would have done
Chauncey Depew himself credit.
He proposes to arrange for a big
school boy parade on Friday afternoon.
mnslo ,.n nf nil tlin I
school boys of the cttf who will participate.
will form shortly before 3 o'clock
on Eighteenth street, and the line of
march will be to the Baltimore & Ohio
passenger station, South Side, where
there will be a tremendous ovation upon
the .arrival of Rankin Good, the Cincinnati
boy. who Is responsible for the
s "American Boy" Idea, on the 3:25 train.
* Young Good will be given the post of
7. honor at the head of the procession, and
then the line of march will be taken up
3- town, as follows: From the station to
Market, up Market to Twelfth, on
Twelfth to Chapllne, on Chapline to
Fifteenth, on Fifteenth to McColIoch,
on McColIoch to Sixteenth, on Sixteenth
to Eoff, and on Eoff to the Terminal
station grounds, whore there is to be
>, nn open air meeting, at which an addross
by Bankln Good will bo the Principal
feature.
_ The programme further contemplates
extensive "doings" in the evening at
? beautiful Wheeling park. The boys are
expected to congregate there at 8 p. m..
accompanied where desirable by their
_ parents and friends. At 8 o'clock, In
the Casino, there will be another ad_
dress by Master Good, and this will be
followed bf dancing and music. The
dancing music will be donated by Prof.
)# Jones. Mr. "William Clemans will have
one or two vocal selections, and the
Waldo Mandolin Club will play. The
r. Mountain State Quartette will also
k have a place on the programme, and altogether
an excellent programme will
be had.
In the afternoon the Cathedral School
r Cadets will appear In a body.
