Another Interesting Letter From Sydney, Australia.

Tivoli Theatre; Sydney, Australia, Oct. 15, 1913. Republican: I think I wrote you a few lines some time ago upon our arrival. Well, we had a fine trip and have had a fine stay here in the biggest and most prosperous city of the southland. We have been here tor four weeks playing and one week before we opened. Everything is peaches and cream for us down here. Mrs. Reynolds is being entertained every day by luncheons and tea parties and naturally I am invited and we have enjoyed our stay here very much. We go to the most beautiful city in Southland, Melbourne, tomorrow, and open there on Saturday, Oct. 18th, for six weeks and will get a chance to see the great Melbourne cup at /Fremlngton, the greatest race of the world. Over 100 starters in it and there is about SIOO,OOO to the first horse. One thing sure, Australia has got the world beat when it comes to racing. I am going to-play Duke Foot for the Melbourne cup and as the race is run the first Tuesday in November, three weeks from now, you will know whether I win. Duke Foot is the name of the horse I am going to play. I will be in Melbourne and will see the race as we play there during the cup meeting. We go to India from here as soon as our 20 weeks are up here. On February 6 we go to Calcutta for two weeks, then go across India, continue to Bombay, 1,500 miles. Then we play two weeks there and go to Monte Carlo, Cannes and Rome for two weeks each, and one week 4n Cairo for two weeks and then to Naples, so you see we are making a round the world tour complete. During our stay in Calcutta I am going to go over to Ragoon in Burma and then I can say I have been in the southern edge of the Chinese Empire. It should be a very Interesting trip. They are making great preparations for the Giants, and Chicago White Sox out here and there are two baseball leagues all formed here, so I think the Giants will do well out here on their tour. With best regards to all the old boys at home and my friends, EARLE REYNOLDS.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH REDEDICATED SUNDAY

Almost Six Thousand Dollars Was ‘ Raised to Pay for Fine Im- • provements Just Made. The first Christian church of was rededicated last Sunday evening, which was the third service of Che day conducted by Dr. I. N. McCash, of Cincinnati, Ohio, assisted by Rey. W. G. Winn, the pastor of the church. The weather Sunday was so unfavorable that the attendance both morning and afternoon was very small, while at night the audience was still quite small, but Dr. McCash met the situation with a firm determination not to dedicate until every dollar of indebtedness had 'been pledged and this was done before the evening service took up and since that time some additional pledges have been received. The dedication in the evening preceded the sermon, Dr. McCash speaking from the subject, “The be-

ginning of Judgment,” and his sermon proving a very powerful appeal for Christian living. The success of the campaign to raise the money was a great victory for the church members and the pastor and building committee. The extensive remodeling had entailed an indebtedness of almost $6,000 and it was expected that it would prove very difficult to raise that amount, but many of the faithful came forward with large pledges and assisted in procuring aid from others. F. M. Parker, chairman of the building committee, Who has been an untiring worker during the months that the repairs have been underway, headed the list of contributions with S6OO, while test others, some of whom have re-; quested that their names be with-, held, gave $250 each. With these pledges so cheerfully given the; work of procuring the others did not especially difficult and the beautifully remodeled’' chunffi is to be entirely free of incumbrance when these obligations are paid. This was done in the face pf the fact that two years ago an indebtedness of almost $1,700 was also against the church. This was paid foQlowing an energetic compalgn by Rev. W. G. Winn, who has also ibeen constantly on the job during the remodeling progress.’ ' The alterations and improvements in the church property consist of the digging out of the basement. lowering it 18 inches and the building of retaining walls of concrete. fn the basement Is a large dining room, also kitchen equipped with a hotel range and other, things. While a kitchen and dining room shower Is planned for Wed-

GO TO HAMMOND FOR GAME NEXT SATURDAY

Rensselaer High School Will Play Strong Team—Planning for a Hard Fought Contest •Coach Parker is putting the finishing touches on the high school football team, wftiieh is to go to Hammond next Saturday to play the strong team of that city. Hammond's strength Is measured by! the fact that it played a tie game wlh Morocco at Morocco, the score being 6 to 6. A comparative idea of the strength of the teams cam be arrived at by the fact that both Morocco and Rensselaer defeated Chicago Heights by overwhelming scores. The absence of Paul Miller from the practice for the past week has interrupted the back field considerably, but his return has put new steam in the home team and great hope 'of victory is evidenced, j On Thanksgiving Rensselaer will entertain a Chicago team, the Bowen high school, and another good contest is expected.

Cut in Express Rates to Take Effect February 1st.

The Interstate Commerce Commission has set the first of next February for the date of requiring the reduction of interstate express rates and the American Express Co. has notified all agents to that effect. Just ,wh«t the reduction will be is not inade public and probably will not be ‘worked out until a later date. The reduction within the state was made some time ago.

nesday afternoon of next week. A ladies’ rest room is also conveniently located in the basement and two toilet rooms are also in the basement. Drinking founts have also been installed. The north entrance of the Church h‘&s been changed, the outside stone steps being removed and the entrance being made from the ground level, and from the inside of that door steps lead to the basement and also to the main floor. The greatest change in the building and throne that is attracting the most favorable attenion from all who have seen the interior is the magnificent manner in which the decorations have been conn pleted. The main auditorium and all of the Sunday School rooms have been redecorated in a very attractive manner, while the seats and woodwork have been changed from natural oak to dark mission. The lighting system has also been greatly improved. The platform was changed in order to accommodate the new location of a baptis-

try, which has been conducted of concrete. The choir loft has also been enlarged. The labor of completing the building lacked just a little of being performed and this consisted of the decorations of the dining room, which is performed. New aisle carpets have replaced old ones and nothing was left undone to make the church a very beautiful one, in every way. This included the outside effeet as well, the woodwork having been painted, the roof repaired and the large windows improved so as to prevent the rain that formerly seeped through the crevices of the large fancy windows. An* entire new steam heating plant was also installed, which will make adequate heat possible. All members of the church are very much pleased that the improvements have been made and that provision for paying for them has also been made. The paying off of the church debt during the past two years and the fact that all current expenses have been taken care of Shows that church to be in a very healthy condition and this indicates the eertanity of growth in membership. The building committee that aided F. M. Parker was J. N. Leatherman, D. E. Grow, Dr. W. Leroy Myer and P. W. Clarke. Not only did these gentlemen work untiringly but each gave Very liberally toward the expense. The accompanying cut is of the church before It was remodeled, but the exterior appearance is the same except for the changing qf the north side entrance.

SOLDIERS ARE HOME; STRIKE IS SETTLED

Company M Arrived Home From State Capital Monday Evening —Some Companies Retained. Company M arrived home frqtn Indianapolis Monday evening on the Hoosier Limited train, which was almost an hour behind time. The order to return home came somewhat as a surprise to all sftd was not issued until 1 o’clock Monday afternoon, while the leaving time was 3. There was plenty erf time, however, for the making up of the rolls, the cleaning up of quarters, etc. The soldiers were ail glad to return home, as the close confinement in the armory was proving wearisome, while a case oI diphtheria which had broken out several days ago had resulted in the examination by the surgeons of the throats of every soldier in the armory. Two members of Co. M showed some signs of gore throat and were hustled off to the city hospital, there to await the passing of danger from Infection. An appeal to permit them to be brought home was not allowed and they will have to remain there until all danger is past. The two unfortunate ones are Verne C. Davisson and Fred H. Steele. The routine followed by the company as related in.a. previous letter was varied Monday forenoon when all the troops were permitted to march from the armory to the Y. M. C. A., where shower baths were taken. The hike down and bade was about three miles and was made time and all enjoyed it. An examining board Monday morning held several examinations for commission and promotion and First Sergeant Jerry B. Garland, who was recently elected second lieutenant, was examined. A report from the examining board Is expected shortly. From all sources Governor Ralston is credited with having used a very timely means of supressing a very disastrous strike, which had underground indications of extending into various other lines. Before he consented to call the troops several street cars had been smashed up and several persons had been injured by thrown missies. A general strike always calls to the seene a large number of hoodlums, agitators, tramps, criminals and persons of every undesirable class, and Indianapolis being a labor center things seemed to be assuming a condition so serious that unless nipped in the bud very serious eonsequences might follow. The expense of such a remedy could not be considered when life and property and the pursuit of commerce were at stake. From every source in Indianapolis, except from the radical labor agitators eame words of praise for Governor Ralston tor his action in so speedily suppressing the strike.
