The Southern Indiana Teachers' Association opened its session, this morning',' with an increased attendance. The first paper on the programme was ''The Relation of Theory to Skill in Teaching," by Prof. W. J. Bryan, of Bloomincton University. It was one of tbe most logical and clear-cut papers presented to the association, and sought to 'l ring together and harmonize the adherents of generalization and specialism on this subject, "Beyond the Alps lies the Teacher's Italy" was the subject of a paper by Mies Anna Sater, of Aurora. Every human life has its own special mission. To know life well is to know Ciod welL Defective primary teaching and especially home training are bars to teaching. "The home that has a library has a soul." Teach the pure and good in literature. - Every book a child reads makes the child better or worse. A good book lives forever. .No need to associate with beggars when kings invite companionship. President J. J. Mills, of Eariham College, discussed "The Public Schools and the Labor Question." Ignorant masses cannot organize. Popular education has developed leadership among laborers. Many families need the work of their children before they have reached the middle grades. Labor demands of the schools four things: 1. Foster industrial teaching. 2. Contribute to sentiment of respect for labor. -3. Shall ooen the whole range of handicraft to them. 4. Contribute to thrift and industry. Educators are learning that while "men can not live by bread alone," it is clear that they C&a not live without bread and the means to secure it. If a boy is destined to become a black smith, train him in the way be should go. and when he is old he will not leave it and become a dentist. The habit of saving and economy should be fostered. The exact keeping of accounts should be taught the children. At the afternoon session President Kiraoofe, . of JJartsville College, read a paper on "What Is , the End of Our Teaching' He said that all in- ; tclligent effort bad a different end in view, and so of teaching. Tbe true aim of teaching is to Impart knowledge and mental discipline, and this discipline should include all tbe faculties, mental and moral, which should be under the control of the wilL Tbe object should be a high one, the production of true men and women. . Superintendent Lafollette then gave a general and instructive talk on the educational affairs of the State, and offered a number of good Suggestions for the benefit of the teachers. Treasurer J. P. Funk reported amount on hand after last meeting $30.80: collected $49.50; total, $80.30; expenditures, $39.50, leaving a balance of $40.80. Resolutions were adopted indorsing tbe pupils' reading circle, in favor of making the management of the schools non partisan, elevating the standard of the profession, and thanking the people of Columbus and air who had aided in making this the most successful meeting in the history of the association. JSTbe following officers were then selected to serve for the ensoing year: President, R. W. Wood, Jeffersonville; vice-presidents, W. F, Hoffman, Washington, and Miss Anna Snter, (Aurora: secretary. Kittle R. Palmer. Franklin. 'Executive committee W. P.. Shannon, Greens bnrg, chairman: Miss Lizzie Long, Columbus; Miss Eva Stoddard, Shelbyville; J. A. Carniagy, Madison, and D. H. Ellison, Madison. Greensburg was selected as the next plaoe of meeting. Tlie Color tloeln a Catliollo School. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Jeffeksonville, April 6. Much indignation has been aroused among the Irish Catholics of , this city by the admitting of a colored pupil to ' St. Augustine's female school, taught by the Sisters of Providence. .The school has been es- ' tablished for years, and though the church has quite a number of colored members, - none of their children have ever been admitted ' to the school before. The city government has provided separate free schools for the colored children, and none of them have ever attempted to enter the Catholic school, there being no separate department where they can be educated. The Rev. E. Audran, pastor of the church, is being blamed for allowing the colored girl to enter the school, and numerous prominent Catholics are threatening to send their children to the pnblio schools if the colored eir! is not removed. What the result will be If the Rev. Audran refuses to accede to their,wlshes ramaina to be seen. , Robbed and Beaten. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Marion, April 6. This morning Mort Helm, a plasterer by trade, was arrested on the charge of assault and battery and highway robbery on an old soldier, William Sudworth, from Hartford City, who has been peddling doors bells here the past several days. ' About 10 o'clock last night Helm enticed Sudworth into an alley, knocked him down with a elnb and rifled his pockets. The old man lay several hours in an unconscious condition when he was discovered by tbe night watch. His injuries are dangerous. In default of $500 bail Helm was sent to jail. New Gas TVeli at Winchester. Cpeeiat to the Indiana."! Journal. 1,000 feet, the drill in gas well No. 6 struck a big vein of gas. The flow is constantly increasing and the roar can be distinctly heard one mile from the well. This is the fourth flowing well struck here. This well undoubtedly gives Winchester all the gas required in private and business houses and factories. It is understood the managers will at once proceed to put down, additional wells in the vicinity of this one to supply several factories. Two Accidental Deaths, gpseial to the IndianaAlIs Journal. Viscenses, April C. Charles Nixon, atwelve-year-old boy, was struck by lightning and killed, last night, at his home in Washington township. Tlie boy was standing in the door. John W. Miller, a merchant of New Harmony, was killed this morning by the accidental discharge of a gen. His head was literally blown off. - Minor Notes. The Citizens' Gas Company, of Marion, has filed articles of association, with a capital stock cf $100,000. The purpose is to put in a plant to pipe natural gas to every part of that city. The trial of Harry Foreman, of Crawfordsille, on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill, resulted in the jury returning a verdict giving him a sentence of two years in the penitentiary. Tbe Union Labor party will meet at Crawfordsville, next Thursday, for the purpose of selecting a candidate for Congress in tbe Eighth district, and will attend to other matters that may come before the convention. At a meeting of the members of the Christian Church at Crawfordsville. Thursday evening, it was unanimously resolved to proceed at once to the erection of a new church building. The, necessary committees were appointed to circulate subscription papers. William C (Lum) Dodd, who was crushed by some machinery falling on him. near Adams, Decatur county, a week ago, while preparing to sick a gas well, died, to-day, as a result of his injuries. He was about f arty five years old, a veteran of the Seventh Indiana Volunteers, and had recently announced as a candidate for sheriff. . Freeman E. Scott & Co., of Seymour, the largest saw mill owners and lumber-dealers in the soQincro part or the Stte, have assigned to Col. Horace II Scott and Henry J. Smith. The tmeeard liabilities exceed $10,000. bcbnuU & i-Jrag, IsdiaLapcilb, are preferred creditors.

The asts in real estate at Seymour and at Jeffersonville, and timber at mills are f uliy ample to pay in full, if time and the csuai leniency are allowed by creditors. MATTERS AT PURDCK. New Experimental Agricultural iltetlon Located In Connection with the University. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Jotrnal. Lafayette, April 5. The lattat eraze at Purdue University is the new agricultural experimental station, which has been endowed by Congress with $15,000 a year. This will be of incalculable benefit to Pordoe University directly, because it locates permanently a body of scientific investigators and experi mentors under the wing of the university. It will be of direct economic value to the State, for these men are going to show how to makn two blades of gras3 grow where but one grew before. They are already planting new varieties of grain, grasses and fruits, to improve yield and'quality; they are seeking the best means of seeding; the adaptability of soils to tbe various crops; crop rotation; use of fertilizers; the gathering, corinsr and sowing of farm products. The writer spent a day at Purdue this week. Tue street earn now take one direct from the depot to the University grounds for a DickeL At tbe right tbe new buildings for the experiment station are going up. Here will be located, as botanist. Prof. J. C. Arthur; chemist. Prof. II. A. Houston; agriculturist, W. U. Latta; horticulturist, Jas. Troop; entomologist, F. M. Webster. These gentlemen will be relieved from all class-work, and will devote their time to experimental and analytical work, with the aid of post graduate and elective students. "What we are going to try to do here," said President Smart, "is to try and mil a dollar's worth of farm products worth a hundred and one cents, and that will add three millions annually to the State. The German government sustains over one hundred and fifty agricultural colleges and experimental stations all richly endowed with laboratories, museums, libraries, experimental farms and tbe ablest scientific investigators to be found in Germany. The result has been that within the century the production per acre has been increased nearly two fold in ali parts of the empire. The agricultural products of our State ean be increased 25 per cent without adding to the acreage." ' ' President Smart impresses all about him as a man in earnest Nor is this earnestness mere bnetie and gush. Solid work is being done in every department of Purdue. Prof. Goes has his wood aud iron shops in perfect order, and filled every day with earnest workers. Seven young men from Indianapolis were seen in the shops. Of the 390 students, 240 are in college classes, 14 are post graduates, over sixty count if are reoresen'ed. . One burly man of about thirty-five was observed in the blacksmith shop studying an anvil. "Getting the work . ready for the students!" said the reporter. "Oh, no; I am a student myself. I am going to make a drawing on paper, and model in" wood, of en anvil. I was just Studying this up." The same spirit was seen under Professor Huston, who has established a three years' laboratory course in physics. One student was making a dynamo: others were studying electric lightning from machines four different kinds in actual use. All were doing quantitative work in electricity, the apparatus made as they progress and supplemented by standard machines. No expensive show apparatus for occasional experiments in landscape physics for the lecture-room hour, for no lectures are given. The students study the thing itself and nse books as laboratory reference. Prof. Huston is a Maine Yankee, and as a live teacher he eovers the field. His presence is an inspiration. But It is Impossible to see one-half of Purdue in a day. You are pulled about from botany to zoology rooms, chemistry to machine shops. All seem happy and busy, training hand, eye and mind at tbe same moment. The ubiquitous presideot claps his hands and talks of the great future of Purdue and more apnriations. . ILLINOIS. The Assassin of Joseph Leaves Sentenced to Fifteen Years' Imprisonment. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Vincennes, Ind., April 6.

A full representation of delegates were present, and every precinct was represented with its full quota.- The convention was called to order by the chairman of the county central committee, W.

' -C'2 -ii t-mi -n . siiMfcs i . ,:,TH. FIFTIETH CONGRESS. Routine Business ia the Senate Large Nam- " bee of Pension Bills Passed. Washington. April 6. A message from the Presideot, with the draft of a bill for tbe revocation of be withdrawal of lands for the benefit of certain railroads, was presented and referred to the committee on public lands. On motion, it was ordered that when the Senate adjourn to-day it be till Monday. On motion of Mr. Stewart, tha Senate bill to authorize, the sale to aliens of. certain mineral lands was taken from the calendar nd read. Mr. Piatt asked what would be Isft of tbe original law prohibiting the acquisition of real estate by aliens if the bill were passed. Mr. Stewart said that the whole body of the original law .Would be left. That law had been designed to pfevent the monopoly of agricultural lands by. foreigners, and was not intended to apply to - mines or mining. There was no reason why a different rule in that respect should be enforced against the Territories than existed ia the States, where foreign capital was largely invested in mines. - After some further discussion the bill was postponed until Monday next, immediately after the morning business, Mr. Riddlebefger offered a preamble and resolution on tbe subject of the territory reported as acquired by Great Britain from Venezuela, and calling on the President for copies of letters, documents etc., in any way appertaining thereto; and requesting him to take such other and further action as may be compatible with the publio interests. Referred to tha committee on foreign relations. On motion of Mr. Teller, the Housebill granting right of way to tha Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Company through the Ft. Crawford military reservation was taken Hp and parsed. The Senate then proceeded to consideration of private pension bills on tbe calendar. Among the pension bills passed was one giving a pension of $25 a month to Dr. Mary E. Walker, as a "late assistant surgeon United States army;" one giving a pension of $600 a year to the widow of Gen. Charles P. Stone; one to Increase the pension of tbe eldest revolutionary pensioner on tbe rolls. Nancy Rams, ninety-six years of age, from $3 a month to an amount tot fixed, but left to the Secretary of the Interior; one giving a pension of $50 a month to the widow of Rear Admiral Nicholson; one giving t pension of $100 a month to the widow of Gen. Judson Kilpatrick; one of $100 a month to the widow of Gen. Robert Anderson, one pensioning a soldier's "foster mother;" one giving a pension of $50 a month to the widow of Brigadier General Taylor; one of $50 par month to the widow of Commander Wm. Gibson, and one of $50 per month to the widow of Medical Inspector Denby, of the navy. Altoeether, there were 127 bills passed, occupying less than an hour and a half; sixtyfive of tbe bills were House bills. One of the latter contained the clause, "This act shall be iu force from and after its approval by the President." t . , The Senate then, at 2 p. m., resumed consideration of the bill for a bureau of animal industry, to facilitate tbe exportation of live stock and their products and to extirpate contagious pleuropneumonia. After all the amendments recommended by the committee on agriculture had been agreed to. pro forma, so as to allow the committee to shape the bill as it thought best, Mr. Hiscock made a speech in - opposition to the bill. He moved that the bill be referred to the judiciary committee, with instructions to report on the constitutional questions involved in it Mr. Coke moved that its further consideration be postponed till Thursday, and made a special order, and that in the meantime the bill as amended be pointed. ,.'. Mr. Frye seat to the Clerk's desk and had read a letter from Mr, Burleigh, whom be spoke of as one of tbe most experienced cattle-raisers in Maine, noting the defects in the bill as not pro-1 viding for the case of tuberculosis, a dreaded and incurable disease which caused, through infection of milk, tbe death of - 50,000 chlildren a year in the large cities of America, or for the case of glanders in horses. Mr. Frye moved to amend tbe biil by mentioning these two diseases, and tbe amendments were accepted by Mr. Palmer, who has charge of the bill. Mr. Coke's motion was then agreed to, and the' bill was made the special order for Thursday next. The bill to provide for the admission of the State of Dakota into the Union and for the-er-ganizatibn of the Territory of Lincoln was then taken up, and it took its place as unfinished business. A House bill for a public building at Tex-r arkana. Ark., was passed. - The Senate bill to prevent obstruction and injurious deposits within the harbor and adjacent waters of Ne.w York city was passed. ' The Senate then proceeded to executive bus icess aud soon adjourned till Monday. . Proceedings of the House. , ' Washington, April 6. The House this morning, at 11:45,- entered upon tbe fourth day of its contest over the direct-tax bill, the legislative day of Wednesday still continuing. Mr. Reed, of Maine, immediately demanded the regular order, which the Speaker stated to be the vote on the motion that when the House adjourn to-day, it be to meet on Saturday next. Mr. Oates, of Alabama, in behalf of the opponents of the bill, proposed that they be allowed two hours for general debate, leaving the question of negotiation as to the future stages of the bill to be settled when those stages were reached. Mr. E. B. Taylor, of -Ohio, said that tho friends of the bill only asked an assurance of a final vote at a proper time. Any arrangement that included that would be accepted by them, but any proposition which did not include it would not be acceptable. Mr. Oates replied that such a proposition as suggested by tbe gentleman would commit those who opposed tbe bill to its final passage without regard to whether any amendments were adopt ed or not Mr. Taylor said that that was not bis intenfion. Abundant opportunity would be given for amendments and discussion of amendments, but to say that the bill would only be allowed to advance one step was nonsensical, and such a proposition could not be accepted. Mr. OaU-s retorted that the gentleman's' proposition was one to tie the enemies of the bill. It was a bulldozing process. Mr. Reed inquired whether the gentleman was not pining for the cotton-tax amendment. "When we proceed in the regular way you will see," replied Mr. Oates. Everybody can see it now." was Mr. Reed's retort, amid snouts fer the regular order. Mr. Reed said that he wished the gentleman to understand distinctly that the friends of the bill were willing to callow any time for debate that could be desired by a reasonable man. All they wanted was an arrangement by which, after debate and the offering of amendments, a final vote could be taken. - Mr. Oates Why do you ask us to commit ourselves? " . , Mr. Reed Because your conduct is such that it is necessary you should commit yourselves. Mr. Oates You asked it before you saw an y such conduct. You want to put us in a position where you can vote down with impunity every amendment. , Tbe effort at comoromise having failed, the usual filiousterine motions were again submitted and the round of roll-calls began. Roll-call followed roll-call .until 3 p. at, when the absence of a quorum was developed and a call of the House ordered. The overworked reading clerks were then 'given a much-needed rest, while the Sergeaot-at arms started on a quest for the absentees. " The first victims of his zeal were Mr. White, of New York, Mr. Mansur, of Missouri, and Mr. Ermentrout, of Pennsylva-, nia, who gave reasonable and satisfactory excuses, but were badly guyed by their colleagues, much to the amusement of the galleries. Messrs. Seney and Foran, of Ohio, were the next prisoners brought to the bar, and tbey were excused, although the statement of the former that he had been absent getting something to eat was received with expressions of incredulity y members who believed that he had inadvertently made use of the verb "to eat." At 5:30 the House took a recess until 11:30 to-morrow.

The Cement Industry. Answers to the Board of Trade circular are coming in from across tbe ocean. Tbe secretary received yesterday a letter from a large cement manufacturer Berlin, Germany. After thanking the board for its letters, aud stating that be would arrive laNew York, en route for Indiana, about April 10.-. he says: "You have probably a very little idea hew this industry (Portlandcement making) can be developed in your country if properljn managed. The time will come when tbe article ean be exported to Europe, instead of importing, as you do now." Cheap fuel, ot course wUi-play a very important part in the manufacture of this cement. So far, nearly all the cement used in this country comes from Europe, r,the importation being 1.038,078 barrels of SGOpounds each in 1886, and 1,817.895 barrels in 18B7- Alt work of German mill is under contract pr 18SS. and prices are advancing. Under jUiese circjpmstanees. it would seem that it is a good time now to start the industry here, and tbeyjsit of this German capitalist to Indianapolis will be fir the purpose of seeing what can be 4ono.

The committeemen expected to do practical work rather than use the time in speech-making, but the people wanted to hear 4 several of their number, and this brought out General Coburn, Edward H. Dean, W. IL Tucker, August M. Kuhn, Councilman Markey, A W. Wishard, Ernest Knodel, George Recb and others, each earnestly supporting tbe proposed improvement in brief remarks. A motion providing for an executive committee to draft a memorial to Council, asking for the work in improving the park an appropriation of $10,000, prevailed. The committee was instructed to request that this money be . taken from the saloon-tax fund. This commTttee consists of General Coburn, Wm. IL Tcker, Edward H. Dean, A. W. Wvihard, A M. Kuhn, Ernst Knodel, John Eggev, Henry bpieihoff and D. A. Chenoweth. In addition to" the memorial, they will prepare and distribute petitions among business men and tax-payers! for signatures asking Council to make tbe appropriation desired. It is requested that tbe persons receiving the petitions will give them attention, and secure as many sieners as possible before the Council meets again. s Better than Poor Butter.

Those who passed along Washington street yesterday morning could not have failed to notice the crowd of boys gathered in front oi tbe late store of A Dickson. Inquiry woald have developed the fact that the crowd of one hundred or more boys son eh t' situations as cash boys. Later on came crowds of men and women, the women having: the largest representation. They have crowded the sidewalk in front all day, and policemen have had to be present, The surging, excited crowds remind one of the street scenes around a broken savings bank. What attracts this crowd and eanses them to stand all day, awaiting the opening of the doors, is to get bargains to get something for less than it's worth. It's the Mrs. Toodles idea of buying because it's cheap, whether needed or not. The public are on the look-but for bargains, and where bargains are offered, there wiil the crowds go. The cheap railway tickets offered by the Kankakee Line, at their office, corner of Washington and Meridian streets, mska this popular corner resemble Dipkson's store every day in the year.
