DRESS GOODS FORTY INCHES WIDE, AT 25c A. YARD! A GREAT BARGAIN. PETTIS. BASSETT I CO. THE ART EXHIBIT. Works of Mr. Forsythe- An Admired Landscape from the Easel of Mr. Steele. The art exhibit will continue through next week. Some of Mr. Forsythe’s works are pf the ‘impressionist” type, and are much admired by persons whose taste runs that way, especially those pictures which he names “pangs.” One of those “pangs” looks like a dream of a back yard in carpet-beating time. Another is perhaps a ship sailing out on the Spanish main, or it may be a windmill in a terrific wind. There’s “free handling” there of that ship or windmill, by the wind. Mr. Forsythe has a knack of neatly catching the looks and ways of little domestic animals. The quick, alert curiosity of a hen, the solicitude of a ewe for her lamb, are portrayed by him finely, and there is no small art in doing this. In some of his landscapes the clouds seem sailing through the air and the trees wave in the sunshine. The mo3t admired picture is the “Bavarian Highlands,” by Mr. Steele. This was painted out of doors, and shows it The artist spent several weeks on this work. The Art Association meets on Friday, April 10. at the house of Mrs- Hale, 507 North Delaware street, at 3p. m. All interested in art are invited to be present Hie State Wants More Money.

ARISTOCRACY IN DEMOCRACY Henry George Expounds His Theory for Solving the Great Social Problem. “Moses; or the Foundation of Social Life”— The Question with Which the W r orld Is Confronted. Henry George was introduced to a comfortably large audience at Plymouth Church, last night, by Rev. O. C. McCulloch, with the assertion that no matter what might be thought of his doctrines, he had started up more thought than any other man of his time, with perhaps the exception of Charles Darwin. The audience before Mr. George was ono of exceptional intelligence, undemonstrative, absorbent and keenly appreciative. Mr. George is hardly of medium height, with a forehead so high that it has preempted a large part of the dome of thought, blue eyes, a fair complexion, and a full auburn beard. He is credited with being one of the most original and forceful thinkers on subjects of political economy that the century has produced, and is, withal, one of the most modest of philosophers. His subject last evening was “Moses, or the Foundations of Social Life,” and his estimate of the great Hebrew law giver was much higher and nobler than is given by the pulpit. Mr. George said that in modern thought there was a disposition to look upon the prominent characters of history as resultants rather than initiatory forces, and that when we try to trace results to their sources we at last arrive at the individual; and while it is true that institutions make men, it is also true that in the beginning men made institutions, and that there still exist among us institutions which carry us back to the remote past. Mr. George gave a glowing tribute to the Jewish race-—a people who, though they never founded a great empire or built a great metropolis, have yet made an impress widespread, potent and irresistible; who have preserved their identity and faith through all the vicissitudes of time and fortune. Though empires have faded away, and living tongues become dead, these people remain as representatives of the democracy founded by Moses —who is by three greaH religious faiths, Islamism, Hebrewism and Christianity, placed upon the highest position ever granted to man. Organized criticism cannot transform Moses into a myth. He educated a people to labor; disciplined a mighty host into fighting men. He established beneficent institutions, moral, religious, and sanitary. He was a politician, legislator and statesman, and devised laws whei-eby each man might sit under his own vine and figtree. It is the character of a strong man, hemmed in by limitations and conditions, but doing a stupendous work; and yet behind high performance is seen the light of still higher aspirations. In the commonwealth which he established no one was to be condemned to ceaseless toil. Even for the bond and slave there was hope. There was rest one day in seven—even for the beast of burden. It was a commonwealth with family affection twined about each member. It was not the protection of property but the protection of humanity that was the aim of the Mosaic code. Its functions were not to protect the strong in heaping up wealth, but to protect the weak from being crowded to the wall. There was not only a Sabbath day but a Sabbath year—a year of jubilee, sacred to the lowliest. With the year of jubilee the debtor went free, and the debt that could not be paid was canceled. The reaper, under this Mosaic code, must leave something for the poorer gleaner. Eveu the ox that, treadeth out the corn must not be muzzled. Everything as we now say in onr homely phrase, said “live and let live.” From this idea of the brotherhood of man springs the idea of the fatherhood of God. What separates it from the religions among which it grew up is its utilitarianism. Moses laid the foundations of a siate in which great riches or deep poverty should be unknown. What was the wisdom and forethought that in the desert sought to guard against the dangers of the settled state. Mr. George then asked where is the country where there is not want and suffering? Three thousand years of advance and still the moan goes up. They have made our lives bitter with hard bondage in mortar and in bricks. Three thousand years of advance, and the voices of little children are in the mean, even here in America, where we have sought our promised land. Not a narrow strip between deserts, but a mighty region between the great seas.* While we prate of the rights of man there are already many thousands and thousands who find it difficult to assert the first of natural rights, the right to earn a living, and who have to accept a degrading charity or starve. We pride ourselves upon our common schools; yet after our boys and girls are educated it is often vainly asked what shall we do with them. In the shadow of our colleges children are growing up in vice and crime because poverty has driven from their homes all refining influences. Our government is becoming, in many cases, but a means for robbing the people. There is growing up among us an aristocracy of wealth as merciless as any aristocracy that ever held sway. Each day brings some new invention which yet marks a fresh advance. Avenues of exchange are broadened and cleared, yet the complaint of hard times grows louder and louder. The struggle for mere existence grows more and more intense, and human labor is the cheapest of all commodities, under the shade of churches festers the vice that is born of want. Pauperism is increasing; insanity is increasing. Men who don’t get a wife are increasing more and more, add women who wait in vain for a husband. More and more children must go to work before they have had time to play. Ignorance in the midst of knowledge; aristocracy in democracy; weakness in strength. You will find to-day what a Hebrew legislator saw 3,000 years ago and provided against. Moses saw the evils of the possession of the land by a class —the land upon which the people must live. The land was not from man. It was “the land which the Lord thy God giveth.thee”—“the land which the Lord lendeth thee.” He cried against that which has converted civilization into despotism; that which to day is crowding families into single rooms and filling the roads of our newest States •with tramps. Jubilee provided for a redistribution every fifty years, and made monopoly impossible. There are many who believe that the Mosaic institutions are verily from the Almighty, and who yet denounce, even from the pulpit, as communistic the principles if applied to the conditions of the present day. That man was made for the Sabbath rather than that the Sabbath was made for man carries us through Christianity to Judaism, back to the code promulgated in the Sinaitic wilderness. On next Friday evening, at Plymouth Church, Mr. George will lecture on “Property in Land.” The admission fee will be ten cents, not altogether as a price, but that the audience may be kept within the capacity of the house, which might not be the case were the lecture a free one. Meeting of the Eastern Star. The Grand Chapter of Indiana, Order of the Eastern Star, held its eleventh a. a1 meeting in Masonic Hall yesterday. About one hundred ladies and gentlemen were present as delegates from various parts of the State. Mrs, Mary E. Spitler, of Rensselaer, grand matron, presided, and addresses were made by her and J. J. Todd, of Bluffton, the grand patron. The order was reported to be in a flourishing condition, and that it had at present 1,700 members in ludiana. The treasurer, Mrs. Mary C. Ingersoll, of Lafayette, reported a balance of $5lB to be now on hand. The report of the secretary, W. H. Smith, was received, and the usual committees were appoint ed. Among the distinguished visitors and honorary members present are Mrs. A. C. S. Engle, past grand matron of Connecticut; Mrs. Jennie E. Matthews, past grand matron of Iowa; John F. Sproulo, past grand secretary of New York; C.

The Indianapolis Club Scores Another Victory Over the Louisviiles—Score 5 to 2. Six hundred people, muffled in overcoats and winter wraps, sat with shivering limbs and chattering teeth through the third and last game between the Louisville and Indianapolis clubs at Seventh-street Park yesterday afternoon. The home club elevated itself decidedly in the good opinion of its friends by administering the third consecutive defeat to the Falls City club, by a score of 5 to 2. Casey, the new left-handed pitcher, was put in to pitch, and if his work of yesterday is a fair indication of what may be expected of him in the future, he will be a decided strength to the club. He showed excellent control of the ball, and was very effective when occasion required. He was well supported by Keenan. Mays, a “phenomenal” twirler from Oil City, did the pitching for the visitors, but was rather unfortunate in sending five men to first base on called balls. The feature of the game was Collins’s catch of an apparently safe hit to left from Browning’s bat. The members of the home club fielded well and ran bases in good style, while the field play of the visitors was loose, and in no case brilliant Following is the summary: Indianapolis. a. b. r. b. p. o. a e.

The Indianapolis Presbytery continued its session at the Seventh Presbyterian Church yesterday. The moderator for the ensuing year, Rev. George Bainum, of Greencastle, was elected, and Rev. A. S. Carrier and Elder Pleasant Bond were chosen clerks. Rev. N. S. Dickey, of Omaha, was received in the presbytery, and the Rev. Charles Raymond dismissed to the Washington Presbytery. The Rev. Hollister, of the American Tract Society, made a brief address concerning the work of his society, and Rev. M. L. Haines, of the north classis of Long Island, was received and ar rangements perfected for his installation as pastor of the First Church. The report of Dr. Hay was next considered, and brought out much interesting matter, It was referred to a committee consisting of Revs. Carrier, Love, and Ambrose Dunn, and a committee was appointed to investigate records. A dinner was served to the delegates and ladies. At the missionary meeting last night, in the Seventh Church, the Rev. Dr. Edson, of Memorial Church, Rev. M. L. Haines, of the First Church, and Mrs. Street, who was formerly a missionary to Madagascar, addressed the assemblage in behalf of missionary work. The Rev. Mr. Haines said in his remarks that foreign missions were a work of love and a field of activity for humtanizing efforts. We should do evangelistic work for our own good. It was a grand work, and it made frand men, for the work developed the man. lenry Martin said years ago, “If I live to see a Hindoo converted to Jesus Christ I will live to see the resurrection,” and yet thousands of Hindoos had been Christianized. Mrs. Street gave an interesting account of life in Madagascar; the suppression of the native Bible, translated at a great labor; the spread of Christianity, notwithstanding the ostracism and tortue of thousands. A description was given of the coronation of the 'present Queen, and articles of native handiwork were passed through the audience. After the benediction the audience was dismissed. The presbytery will meet at the Seveuth Church, this morning, for. the transaction of routine business, and the service will bo opened by the Rev. Booth. PERSONAL MENTION.
