And yet they are not commonplace, for the wonderful progress of a hundred years is but the cumulative result of them all. The telephone is one of the newest of 20th Century wonders and yet its influence is felt daily in every office and every home in the land — directly or indirectly it affects the life of every individual. The Blue Bell sign of the tele- phone is pre-eminently a sign of today — emblematic of the crown- ing achievement of a hundred years of progress. INDIANA BELL TELEPHONE CO. Phil ]ff.

AUTHOR'S NOTE The author of this pageant trusts no apology will be thought necessary for its omission of many important and interesting events in the history of the city and a host of distinguished names figuring in its records — particularly in the period of its enormous development since the Civil War. To try to present, with dramatic and pictorial effect, a few of the significant and stirring episodes of it.s first half century, with only the briefest allusion to matters and personages falling within the memory of those now living, has been all that the limitations of time and the Coliseum arena have permitted. In doing so only a general sequence of events has been attempted, and the calendar has been condensed with a freedom bordering upon disrespect. Nor has it been felt necessary to adhere invariably to the matter-of-fact formula and stilted diction conventional in pageants. Quite 'a number of quaint and amusing things have happened in Indianapolis within the past hundred years, and if some of them have crept into this picture they may be welcomed by those" who delight not in dry-as-dust annals. For valuable assistance in connection with the material used particular thanks are due to Jacob Piatt Dunn, Mrs. Kate Milner Rabb, John H. Holliday. Mrs, F-iward F. Hodges and Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke. G^CLD 5 4 841 m 17 1920 Cast of Characters •INTERPRETERS : INDIANA MRS DEMARCHUS C BROWN . INDIANAPOLIS MRS. MYRA RICHARDS PRELUDE : Auspices Drama League.

DORSEY Never in the world, darling — that's for the bad boys, the big, bad boys. {Re- turning to his desk and silencing the hum of comment mith another whack of the ruler.) Say out your books! (At once all the pupils begin to study their lessons at the tops of their voices, spelling words, repeating arithmetic tables, geography locations, etc., in a conglomerate din. Another crash of the ruler brings dead silence once more.) The a-b-c class will recite. (The little tots come forward and form a row before him.) Now, all together! (They sing in unison:) B-a ba, b-e be, b-i, bi, b-o bo, b-u bu ; D-a da, d-e de, d-i di, d-o do, d-u du ; F-a fa, f-e fe, f-i fi, f-o fo, f-u fu ; G-a ga, g-e ge, g-i gi, g-o go, g-u gu. Very good indeed. First class in arithmetic! (Older pupils take the places <£?/ the tots.) Give me the multiplication table, beginning with five times five I {The class sings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle":) Five times five is twenty-five And five times six is thirty. Five times seven is thirty-five, And five times eight is for-ty. Five times nine is forty-five, And five times ten is fifty. Five times 'leven is fifty-five, And five times twelve is sixty.

You may stand over there and wear this for twenty-nine minutes as a 33 little reminder of leap year. (Another boy gives IVilliam a sly dig in the ribs.y Class in geography. (Another class comes fonvard.) Sing the capitals!

DORSEY (Crashing the ruler.) Now give me j^our own State! (Silence) NATHANIEL We haven't had Indiana yet, teacher. DORSEY But you know the capital, don't you? (No reply.) What city is this? CLASS Indianapolis. DORSEY Now the river? (No reply.) Nathaniel, what stream do you live on? NATHANIEL (Promptly.) Pogue's Run. (The school titters.) DORSEY (Carefully selecting a large smitch from his bundle) Nathaniel, you may stay in after school and I will endeavor to refresh your memory as to local topo- graphy. NATHANIEL (Eagerly.) Oh, teacher, I remember now! I heard my pappy say a big steam- boat is coming up White River. DORSEY George Owings, is that right? GEORGE (Pi'omplly.) No, sir, it's a d— d lie — no steamboat can come up White River. DORSEY (Sternly.) Come, here, George! (George docs so zcith extreme reluctance.) Kneel down here before me! (George kneels and Dorsey takes the pocket knife from his desk.) George. I have warned you repeatedly against swearing, and whip- pings seem useless to break you of the habit. You know I told you the next time I would slit j^our tongue for it. Now, stick out your tongue! (George does so in an agony of fear zvhile Dorsey proceeds to wliet the knife on his boot.) I am sorry to have to do this, George, but it won't do to let you grow up this way — keep your tongue out ! — it would be a disgrace to my school and to your parents— PUT OUT YOUR TONGUE! (Testing the knife edge.) But if I SHOULD try you once more, do you think you would ever swear again? GEORGE (Sobbing.) No, no, no — I'll be d — d if I would! 34 At this moment a boy comes running from the zvest screaming, "Steamboat's a-comin' ! Steamboat's a-comin' 1 Steamboat's a-comin' up the river !" Cannon shots are heard, the hiss of escaping steam and the ringing of a boat's bell, with much shouting and general din. Then General Robert Hanna, and several of the boat's officers, enter from the west and are warmly greeted by citizens zvho go for- zvard and escort the new-comers to the stage, now vacated by the children zvho scamper off zuestward to see the boat, spectators quickly gathering about below. BLAKE (Rapping.) The meeting will come to order. General Hanna, it affords me great satisfaction, to welcome you back to Indianapolis with the steamboat bearing your honored name. I will call upon Governor Noble to express our sense of the obligation this city owes you. ._, ^, NOBLE Your arrival here from Cincinnati by steamboat. General Hanna, should be viewed by the citizens of the White River country and of the State as a proud triumph for you personally and a fair and unanswerable demonstration that our beautiful river is susceptible of safe navigation for steam vessels. You have fairly won the $200 reward I offered for such an achievement. We are already deeply indebted to 30U for pushing forward the construction of .the National Road to this point. I hold here a memorandum showing that our population already exceeds a thousand souls and that in one year we have imported TEN THOUSAND DOL- LARS worth of goods, including 76 kegs of tobacco, 200 barrels of flour, 100 kegs of powder, 4,500 pounds of spun yarn and 213 barrels of whiskey. In conclusion, General, I am authorized to invite you and your associates to be the guests of honor at our public dinner in celebration of the Fourth of July, and to witness the parade of the united Sunday schools of our three churches in honor of this event. HANNA I thank you. Governor Noble, and the citizens of Indianapolis for this appre- ciation. But I fear you exaggerate the importance of our trip, made merely to tow up a barge loaded with bridge materials for the National Road. I am less sanguine than 3'ou seem about the navigation of Whi^e River, perhaps because we ran into a tree on the bank just now and knocked down our pilot house and chimneys. I regret that we shall be unable to attend your Fourth of July dinner. The river is falling and we shall start back as soon as we can unload. But I congratulate you upon the combination of religion and patriotism indicated by your Sunday school parade. Front the zvest is heard martial music, and the Sunday school procession enters and marches around the arena, circling the stage, beside zvhicli it rests. Its for- mation is as follows: (1) A small cannon drawn by soldiers in' uniform; (2) women teachers with flag ; (3) girl scholars, smallest in front, and grading back , all in gala dress; (4) tnusic; (5) men teachers zvith flag; (6) male scholars, graded back; (7) clergymen, reader and orator; (8) superintendents; (9) citizens, four ohredst. They sing as they march, "Hail Cnliimhio" "Star-Spangled Banner" etc. Arrived at the stage they call in unison: "Blake, Blake, Superintendent Blake! You shall be our marshal, you the lead shall take." 35 FLETCHER That means you, Mr. Blake. BLAKE (Calling down.) I'm coming. But Mr. Fletcher here promised you a toast. Hold him to it! Toast, toast, toast ! SCHOLARS FLETCHER All right, then here's your toast : "Indianapolis, may it not prove itself un- worthy the honor the State has conferred upon it by making it her seat of govern- ment." {Everybody applauds; Blake takes position at the head of the procession; the others fall in behind; the music starts again and the march is continued out through the eastern exit, Gen. Hanna and his party returning westward. ON MUSTER DAY (Interlude music — military march.) INDIANA Keeper of my chosen center, Days of danger, lurking foemen, Call your young men to be ready For your settlement's protection. INDIANAPOLIS Isolated, standing lonely, Far from help when help is needed, ; All my citizens are soldiers : I Every plowboy knows his rifle. Lieut. Samuel Merrill enters west leading in an awkward squad which he marches to the stage while a crozvd gathers and watches the drill with friendly advice to the participants. Some of the militia-men have nondescript uniforms while others are in careless civilian dress. Some are armed with muskets and squirrel rifles; others carry hoe-handles, cornstalks, etc. MERRILL Attention, company! (The squad forms in ragged double file.) Gentlemen, your appearance is not soldierly. I see here veterans of the Black Hawk War, members of "the Bloody Three Hundred," who marched to Chicago and then marched back again, armed with hoe-handles and cornstalks and dressed for a 'coon hunt. A MILITIAAIAN Say, Lieut. Merrill, dad took my gun this mornin' to get a b'ar. But you-all know I can split a bullet on my knife blade. 36 MERRILL Quite right, Nick, I've seen you shoot, but you're not so strong on tactics, so I'll have to give you some guard duty with that cornstalk. (Derisive laughter.) KATE MERRILL (A child of ten.) Don't punish him, papa — please ! He'll bring his gun next time. MERRILL Must have discipline, Kate. (He whispers to her.) Nick, you may guard the northeast corner of the drill field until relieved ! (Nick takes position crestfallen amid jeers.) Now, all you in uniforms take the front rank I (Men exchange places.) Pass guns to the front rank, cornstalks to the rear! (Exchange is made.) This is an occasion dedicated to Mars, not to Ceres. Now, if you are ready, shoulder arms! (He puts the squad through various drill evolutions which it executes unth viuch blundering. At the first pause little Kate goes timidly to her father and points to Nick. He nods and she runs and whispers to Nick who resumes his place in the rear rank.) Col. Alexander Russell on horseback gallops in from the east. He wears a showy militia uniform with brilliant epaulets; in liis hat a white plume tipped with red; he waves a big sword in giving orders. He is followed in from the east by the Marion Guards (known as "the Graybacks") a company commanded by Capt. Thomas A. Morris. The men are middle-aged, dressed in a handsome uniform of gray with black velvet facings, tall leather caps with brass trimmings and black pompons. They are armed with muskets having bayonets and march to the music of a brass band. RUSSELL (Wheeling to face them.) Halt your command here, Capt. Morris, and report to me at headquarters! (Dashes on to the stage.) Dismiss your drill squad, Capt. Merrill, and remain here as my aide-de-camp. (Gallops on to the west entrance where the Marion Riflemen (known as "the Arabs") enter to the music of fife and drum, led by Capt. Lew Wallace. They are boyish in age, uniformed in yellow- fringed blue hunting shirts, with trousers similarly adorned, atid are armed with carbines.) Capt. Wallace, halt your command here and report to me at head- quarters! (He dashes back to the stage zvhere he is promptly joined by Morris and Wallace.) Capt. Morris, you will begin the sham battle by deploying your command from Delaware street into Washington and move to attack in column of sections, firing by volleys. Capt. Wallace, you will bring your troops into Washington from Meridian street and fight them lying down, backwoods fashion, firing at will. The Guards will continue to advance and when I raise my hat jou will retreat in good order and cease firing as you turn back into Meridian. Fire low and d» rot let your men get out of hand. Yon both tlnderstand? Yes, Colonel. Certainly, Colonel Russell. MORRIS W.^LLACE 2,7 RUSSELL I will review both companies after the battle. Begin when I raise my sword ! {Both captains salute and hiivry back to their companies. Col. Russell gives the signal and the Grays advance and begin firing by volleys at the word, their band playing vociferously. There is much cheering and waving of handkerchiefs by the spectators on mid (irouiid the stage. The Arabs rush forward, lie down and fire, then rush forward uLoiu. These tactics soon bring the two sides into clash, and Col. Russell waves I'otli his hat and sword frantically and shouts "Cease firing! Retreat! Retreat! but to no purpose. Nor can Wallace restrain his men. They dash in among the Grays, breaking up their formation, taking prisoners and putting the others to flight, while Russell continues to shout unheeded orders and the specta- tors yell their laughter and applause. As the melee subsides Wallace approaches Russell and salutes.) WALLACE Awfully sorry, Colonel, but I just couldn't hold 'em. You see the Grays have been poking a good deal of fun at 'em. Will you review us? RUSSELL No, you don't deserve it. Release your prisoners and dismiss your men. If we do have war with Mexico you young scamps may find real fighting not so funny. WALLACE Try us, Colonel ! Try us ! BLAKE Oyez, oyez, oyez ! The next event in these tumultuous proceedings will be a quarter race between Danny Red and Ditch Finder. Clear the track! (^The spectators and the militiamen, once more in fraternal accord, withdrazu to the center of the arena and the race is run with much encouragement from the specta- tors. This is followed by foot races, a tug of war, wrestling, a greased pig chase, horse-shoe throwing, etc., various events taking place at the same time in different parts of the arena.) BLAKE The next event will be a competitive run by the volunteer fire companies, the Invincibles with their hand-brake engine "Victory," against the Reliefs with their end-brake engine "Good Intent." The race will start when the Chief Fireward drops his pole. Clear the track! {The rival companies appear at the west end with their engines, fire buckets, etc., the captains with trumpets and helmets, the men in ordinary dress. The Chief Fireward takes his place on the stage with his badge of office, a red pole some five feet long. The Invincibles sing:) Throw, "Victory," throw ! Man Haugh is our president. He makes us wax the "Good Intent ;" Throw, /'Victory," throw ! (To which the Reliefs yell reply.) "No Wooden Shoes ever get there ahead of the Shanghais." THE FIREWARD (Raising his pole.) Ready! (Drops it.) Go! (The two companies race around J8 the arena in opposite directions, returning to their starting point when the Fireward announces the victor.) BLAKE Friends and fellow citizens: Word has just reached me that Congress and President Polk have declared a state of war with Mexico. Governor Whitcomb has called for three regiments of infantry. What are we going to do about it? WALLACE I'll tell you what we are going to do about it. We're going to plant the Star- spangled Banner on the lialls of the Montezumas. Come on, you Graybacks and Arabs ! Here's our chance to have some real fun. For Mexico ! Fall in ! (He rushes dotvn from the stage, grabs a flag and with fife and drum accompaniment, starts a quick march eastward, the militiamen of both companies mixed together falling in behind him while the crowd cheers.) AN OUTLET AT LAST {Brief Interlude Music.) INDIANA Bravely you have borne, my daughter, ] Loneliness and exile weary; Hope deferred and dreams which faded. Now a line of gleaming iron Links you henceforth to all peoples ! INDIANAPOLIS So, indeed, oh, Indiana, Shall you truly feel my heart throbs Sending back to all your members Life-blood quickened to your service ! A newsboy runs in crying: "Here's your Journal! Here's your Sentinel! All about opening of Madison Railroad ! First train coming today I Journal, Sen- tinel!" He sells his papers among the crozvd. Calvin Fletcher, Samuel Merrill and Hervcy Bates come upon the stage. FLETCHER This is a great day for Indianapolis, Merrill, this first of October, 1847. Your Madison Railroad will be the salvation of the town and make all you people who have built it rich, besides. MERRILL I hope so. It has cost enough to put it through since the State turned the work over to us. FLETCHER But none of the other seven roads chartered by the Legislature fifteen years ago have come througli. How about the Harrison line, Mr. Bates? BATES Oh, the panic of '37 laid us all out. You know even the State Bank had to 39 suspend specie payments for a while. As its first president I hope you and your successors in that office may never have the trouble we did to keep afloat. But your brother, Stoughton — great banker that he is — helped us weather the storm. FLETCHER But you did keep it going — God bless you, Bates ! — and it proved a tower ■of refuge in those days of peril. MERRILL Will your new city government take part in today's celebration? BATES Yes, Mayor Henderson and Councilmen Rooker, Tutewiler, Gates and King liave been preparing for it. FLETCHER Both Governor Whitcomb and the Rev. Henry Beecher will speak and I hear the people for miles around are coming in. Most of them never saw a locomotive. Besides, there is a circus in town. MERRILL Well. I have decided to grant the request for excursion rates for a week so everybody may see what a railroad is like. BATES Pity your station had to be located so far from the business district. South street is away out of town. MERRILL Oh, we'll have a town of our own down here before you know it. Look at the houses springing up around here ! FLETCHER Will your excursion trains get in on time? MERRILL The last rail was laid at nine o'clock this morning so they ought to be here now pretty soon. (The crowd around the stage has been growing rapidly, and various vehicles have come in as from the country and taken positions about the stage and along an open passage way suggesting the railway track extending from the eastern entrance to the stage. Now from the west comes the procession of celebrants, officials in carriages, mounted volunteers, artillerymen with gun, the two volunteer fire companies, and circus performers and band playing circus music.) RING MASTER Ladies and gents: While we are waiting for the arrival of the train the im- mortal Edward Kendall, the Magic Bugler of Spaulding's North American Circus, will favor you with a brief solo upon the magic silver bugle with which he will entrance our audience tonight. {Which the immortal Edward, in gorgeous uni- form, proceeds to do. Then a cannon booms without; distant cheering is heard, replied to by the crowd along the track; locomotive bells clang and steam hisses; spectators exclaim: "Here she comes! That's the bullgine! Did you ever see the like? TWENTY miles an hour." (One spectator darts away to the west fol- lowed by a call:) "Come back here. Dave! The bullgine won't hurt you." (to 40 which "Dave" hurls back :) "No sir ; I'm afeared the doggone thing may blow up."' {Then croit'ds of the excursionists come pouring in at the east entrance, many carrying carpet-bags, parcels, -araps, etc., come through the passage way and surround the stage. They are eagerly questioned:) "Does it make you dizzy? How fast does she go? Was you scared?" MERRILL (Shouting.) Order! Order! Let us have order, friends! Governor Whit- comb will address you. WHITCOMB Ladies and gentlemen: This is a momentous occasion for the new city of In- dianapolis, for the great State of Indiana. We meet here to celebrate — (a voice: "You're right, Governor, and we're going to celebrate) — to celebrate, I say, the- opening of a highway whereby we may travel to the uttermost parts of the earth. (Interruption: "When do we start?") These iron rails form the tendrils whereby we shall be more closely bound to the body politic. (Interruption: "Never mind politics. Governor — what 're we going to get for our wheat?") I don't know, sir. just how much you will get for your wheat, but a farmer friend of mine who- has been getting forty cents proposes to hold for ninety now that he can ship to the Ohio River. To the citizens of the State capital the new road offers in- calculable possibilities. We now boast of a population of 6,000. (Interruption: "All here. Governor!") Shall we not double it in the ne.xt ten years? (Inter- ruption: "How about that excursion to Greenwood?") My friends, we are alt in too happy a mood for speech making, but I beg you to listen to a few words from the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, who is leaving us today for a larger sphere of action in the city of Brookhn. (Applause.) BEECHER Friends and fellow citizens : My heart is very full today, too full for much speech. For these several years I have lived here among you, a sharer of your joys and sorrows. I have fought temporal fires with your volunteers (cheers from the fire companies) and fought for you against the fire eternal. I have been with you when times were hard and the train which comes to herald your prosperity will carry me away leaving a thousand good wishes for you who remain. God bless you all! (Cheers.) MERRILL Excursion trains for Greenwood and Franklin will leave the depet at once. (The crowd makes a tumultuous rush for the eastern e.vit, to the clang of locomo- tive bells. Uncle Tom Magruder, an aged negro, now comes to Mr. Beecher.) UNCLE TOM Massa Beecher. please, sir, I's mons'tous sorry to see you goin' away. You an' you-all's sister. Missis Stowe, has been mighty good to to we-uns an' I's gittin*" so ole I's feared I'll never see j-ou-all no mo'. BEECHER (His hands on Uncle Tom's shoulders.) Maybe not. Uncle Tom— maybe not— until we meet up yonder! But remember this: Uncle Tom Magruder will always hold a warm place in Mrs. Stowe's heart and in mine, and Uncle Tom's cabin will 41 be for us both a sacred spot — a spot where was kindled the torch that may light your race to liberty. (Turning.) Where are those two boys who are going with me on their way to Bethany College, Johnny New and Berry Sulgrove? I musn't lose those boys — they'll both be heard from one of these days. (The boys come forward.) Come on, boys, we mustn't let the "bulgine" get away without us. (Leads them off eastivard. his arms about their shoulders.) THE IXEMTABLE CONFLICT (Interlude Music.) INDIANA Shadows gather. In my free land No man holds a human chattel ; Yet my borders are invaded By the hunters ; sanctuary ' \ I must denj' to the fleeing — Even my own blacks are taken ! On MY brow the brand of Cain is I INDIANAPOLIS In rebellion are my people 'Gainst this cruel law which binds them. Not in name alone a "Freeman" Is this man now as a slave claimed. If it MUST be, let the clash come — How shall Bondage mate with Freedom? (A crowd gathers about the stage which is taken by a group including John L. Ketcham, John Coburn, Cahnn Fletcher, Geo. W. Julian, Kev. S. T. Gillet several Southern planters and John Freeman, a negro,) KETCHAM Gentlemen, we meet here tonight to take action regarding the arrest and im- prisonment of John Freeman, one of our colored citizens, under the Fugitive Slave Law. The fact that he has just been discharged does not free us from the duty of voicing the sentiments of tlTJs community. Shall we ask the Rev. Mr. Gillet to preside? GILLET My friends, two months ago a man named Pleasant Ellington, claiming to be a Missouri preacher, came here and had John Freeman, a highly respected colored citizen who has lived here for nine years and accumulated a handsome little prop- erty, arrested as a fugitive slave. (A voice: "Freeman is all zvhite but his skin.") He refused ample bail offered by one hundred of our leading citizens and had Freeman stripped and searched for marks which he declared established his owner- ship. Aleanwhile Freeman's counsel, John Coburn and John L. Ketcham, found in Canada the man who had actually been Ellington's slave and induced these gentlemen here who had known Freeman in Georgia and Kentucky to come and testify in his behalf. I hear that Ellington has sneaked out of town to escape 42 a suit for false imprisonment. (A voice: "He ought to be tarred and feathered" — applause.) Mr. Fletcher has a letter from Henry Ward Beecher on the subject. {Voice: "Good for Beecher") FLETCHER Mr. Beecher writes : "It is said that to represent such scenes as Uncle Tom's separation from his family is a slander. Yet here is a preacher of the gospel making a pilgrimage of half-a-thousand miles to find and arrest a member of a Chris- tian church in a free State and drag him into slavery. Nor is this man any worse than the laws allow. To violate every sentiment of humanity, outrage the feelings of a whole community, crush an innocent and helpless family, reduce a citizen of proved integrity to the level of a brute, carry him to the shambles — all this may be done by the laws and under the direction of a magistrate. It will not forever be thus. There is an unperverted heart. There is a Judge above corruption. There are laws neither framed in deceit nor red-mouthed with the blood of the innocent. Has not the shame of our nakedness appeared long enough?" (A roar of applause and cries of "Julian," "Julian," "Julian!") JULIAN No man within sound of my voice but knows where I stand on this Fugitive Slave Law, the most atrocious of all the compromise measures intended to pla- cate the upholders of human slavery. I join heartily in commending the humane and magnanimous spirit of these Southern gentlemen who have come to the rescue of a man unjustly accused. Their action stands in dramatic contrast with that of the Northern Doughfaces and Flunkeys who made haste to serve the per- jured villians who undertook to kidnap a citizen of the State under the forms of an infamous law. (Voices: "Right. Julian! Right!") The saddest pages of our history will be those relating the careful and studious tenderness of our Northern lawmakers towards American slaverj', an institution embodying the transmitted vices and diabolisms of two .hundred years. The South inherited slavery — the North is the real culprit in the guilt of slave aggrandizement! (Frantic ap- plause.) COBURN Mr. Chairman: I have here some resolutions expressing our joy over the release of Freeman and our commendation of the noble and generous action of these gentlemen from the South. A man in the crowd shouts: "Ellington is still in tozcn. I knozc zvhere to get him." Another man: "I know where there is a fence rail." A third: "Let's give him a ride out of tozvn!" With a roar of approval the crowd rushes off and out. (Interlude music) From the east enters a torchlight procession of "JVide Azvakes." men zvear- ing black oil-cloth caps and capes, carrying szvinging torches and marching to the tap of the drum. They carry banners inscribed "Honest Old Abe," "The Illinois Rail-splitter," "Free Soil Forever," and precede a "fandango" wagon drawn by many spans of decorated horses and full of girls zvho zvave hand flags and sing campaign songs as the procession circles the arena. As it disappears a carriage is driven in frmn the zcest containing .Ibrahani 4.) Lincoln and Governor Oliver P. Morton. Voices from the crowd gathered about the stage : "There comes Lincoln ! Lincoln and Morton ! Hurrah for Old Abe !" The crowd tries to mount the stage hut is withheld by a squad of soldiers with fixed bayonets. Hervey Bates, John Coburn, Calvin Fletcher and Lew Wallace appear and Bates addresses the crowds BATES Let us have order, friends. Mr. Lincoln will speak from the balcony of the Bates House. You can all see and hear him from, Washington street. (The crowd reforms on the south side of the stage. Li)icohi and Morton cross the appear and Bates addresses the eroicd: MORTON Mr. Lincoln, on behalf of the people of Indiana, I bid you welcome as the chief magistrate elect of the Republic. This Union has been the idol of our hopes, the parent of our prosperity, our shield and protection abroad and our title to the respect and consideration of the world. May it be preserved, is the prayer of every patriotic heart in Indiana, and that it SHALL BE, the xletermination ! (Applause.) LINCOLN Governor Morton and fellow-citizens of Indiana : I will only say that to the salvation of this Union there needs but one single thing — the hearts of a people like yours. (Applause.) "The gates of hell can not prevail against them." (Applause.) I wish you to remember, now and forever, that it is j^our business and not mine ; that if the Union of these States and the liberties of this people shall be lost, it is but little to any one man of fifty-two years of age, but a great deal to the thirty millions of people who inhabit these United States and to their posterity in all coming time. (Great applause.) I appeal to you again to bear in mind constantly that with YOU, and not with politicians, not with presi- dents, not with ofifice-seekers, but with you is the question : Shall the Union and shall the liberties of this country be preserved to the latest generations? (Wild end prolonged cheering. Lincoln and Morton drive out and a group of colored jubilee singers take the stage and sing "Nelly Gray" and "Ole Shady.") THE CALL TO ARMS INDIANA From the Southland roars a cannon : Helmeted Secession's crest is ; No more may we wait or palter — God of Battles, we are ready! INDIANAPOLIS Ready, Indiana, ready — Not in arms, but resolution ! Hither send your gallant farmers And to soldiers I will mould them. 44 MRS. CADY From the east sounds one tong, dissonant trumpet blast, then the clang of ■a fire bell rung rapidly. Enter running a newsboy who screams: "Fort Sumter fired on! Fort Sumter fired on! Fort Sumter fired on!" A crowd gathers hur- riedly, its menacing murmur growing to a roar as Gov. Morton takes the s^ige and lifts his hand f^r quiet. MORTON Men of Indiana, the flag has been fired upon. Fort Sumter, in Charleston 'harbor, is under bombardment and jMajor Anderson can not hold it long. War is upon us. I have sent President Lincoln a telegram offering him ten thousand men for the defense of the nation. Have I promised too much for Indiana? •{A mighty roar: "No!") We are no longer Republicans or Democrats, but Union men. I have made Capt. Lewis Wallace Adjutant-General of the State. Our chairman, Col. Ebenezer Dumont, will raise a regiment. Major Jonathan Gordon here will organize a flying artillery company. GORDON Volunteers will find me at my ofifice early Monday morning! {Col. Dumont brings Morton a telegram which he tears open and reads.) MORTON Col. Dumont has just handed me a telegram announcing that Fort Sumter has fallen. {The crozvd : Ah-h-h!) Tomorrow will be Sunday, a day for solemn reflection, but on Monday morning you will find the recruiting offices open and ready. Good night ! ( The crozvd disperses in silence and with bowed heads to ■dirge music zvhich is continued for a time and then changes to the air of "The Battle Cry of Freedom" as a procession of men and boys in civilian dress sweeps through the arena singing this song and carrying flags and a banner inscribed: *'We are coming Father Abraham, 500,000 Strong.") As this procession exits Col. Lezv Wallace leads in the Eleventh Regiment to the mtistt of fife and drum. They are in couave tmiforms and form a hollow square about the stage zvhere a party of ladies zvith a stand of colors aziKiits Col. Wallace. Their leader, Mrs. AMgal A. Cady, addres-^es him: Col. Wallace, on behalf of the women of Indiana, I am commissioned to pre- sent to the Eleventh Regiment this stand of colors which their own hands have fashioned. Our fondest good wishes for the triumph of your great cause go with these flags. May they never be lowered in the face of the foe ! WALLACE {Taking the flags.) Ladies, in accepting this beautiful and inspiring gift. I wish to pledge you, for the men of the Eleventh Regiment, that it shall be cherished and defended to their latest breatli. Tliey could not do otherwise since they are your own husbands, brothers, sons. In the war with Mexico the man who now lieads the conspiracy to dishonor and dismember this flag vilified and sought to disgrace Indiana soldiers. I promise you that the men who march under these colors will rejoice to help cram that foul slander down his arrogant throat. {Wheeling suddenly.) Men of the Eleventh Regiment, kneel and raise your right hands! {They obey with military precision.) Now. swear to remember Buena Vista and Jefferson Davis! {The men zvith one voice: "We szi-ear!") As you 45 were! (They rise,) Now your drill! (They cxecufc I'arious zouave evolutions and are led off behind the colors by Col. JVallacc.) INDIANA (fiaisiiig high her hand.) Ho. Indianapolis! Are you not proud and grateful for the War Governor I have sent you? INDIANAPOLIS (Fervently.) Grateful, yes, but first to God who chose the hand to do His work, the fist to smite His enemies ! Look, Mother Indiana, look ! In one week he had 12.000 volunteers in camp and in nine months an army of fifty- thousand in the field. At his trumpet call j^our legislators gave him $2,000,000. Lacking guns, he brought them from Europe. Lacking amunition, he made it. Lacking precedents, he established his own. When your soldiers were cold and hungry he sent them overcoats and food. When the enemy's bullets found them' he was there to close their dying eyes and then rush back to comfort and care for their families. He has held up the hands of a sorelj'-tried President ; he has given you title to a cloud-aspiring monument ! An expectant crowd gathers about the western entrance. Voices: "Prisoners from Ft. Donelson! Taking them out to Camp Morton! Wonder zvlutt they think of Grant nozv? Looks like we got 'em licked," Drum< taps heard. A cavalry squad rides !/;• and presses the spectators back to form a passage way by command of its officer. OFFICER Keep back, people ! There must be no demonstration against these Ft. Donelson prisoners. Any one who insults them will be arrested. Stand back there ! (Firsts marching to the drums, enters a squad of Union ^soldiers zvith fixed bayonets.. Then, betzveen files of soldiers on cither side, come the Confederate prisoners^ marching four abreast. They present a miserable and unhappy appearance, un- kempt and emaciated. Grey old men and slender boys zvearing all sorts of non- descript attire, some in tattered Confederate grey, others dressed in Tjuilts, strips of carpet, burlap sacking, etc. They carry bundles of shabby bedding, frying pans, tea-kettles, tin cups, and other utensils, and seem dejected and apprehensive. As their condition is seen there are exclamations of compassion: "Poor devils! Nearly starved to death! Half frozen, too — not used to this climate! By George, I can't stand this — Fm going to give that poor little cuss my overcoat!" Which he does — an example follozved by others. Food also is passed to the prisoners. As the procession marches out James Blake and James M. Ray take the stage. RAY Friends, tliese prisoners are our enemies, Init also many of them are sick and they all look hungry. Mr. Blake, of our Sanitary Commission, wishes to say a word to you about them. BLAKE As Mr. Ray tells you, these poor fellows appeal to our humanity. Governor Morton has arranged to open hospitals here in town for those too ill to be taken out to Camp Morton. We need nurses for this work. We are proud of our Sanitary Commission— the first of its kind in the whole United States. The women of Indianapolis have made noble response to its appeals for our own 46 soldiers. How many of you will take up this new burden? {Immediately Miss Catharine Merrill and other zvomen surround him.) Ah, Miss Merrill, I might have known you would be among the first! {The episode closes ivith the singing HATS A>D HEAD DBESSES. Mrs. Fred Balz. Mrs. Edward L. Pedlow. Miss Bernice Sinclair.
