TIie3Iinisters' Association Violently Opposed to the Coming Inaugural Ball. A Committee Appointed to Canvass the AdTisaWlitj of Taking Action Date Assaults the Tobacco-Eating Animal. At the meeting of the Methodist ministers in the vestry of Roberts Park Church, yesterday morning, several occurrences of interest took placo outside of the usual theological routine of homilies and papers. Her. Dr. Keen presented tho recent action of the ministry of Columbus O., in .asking General Harrison to publicly renounce his approval of the inauguration ball and declare that he w ill not attend it. In corajntnting upon this clerical suggestion, the tPoctor said that some action of the clergy of this city was now looked for, and that their opinion as to w hether such recommendations fell within their province-, and, iif so, what they should be, ought to bo definitely and unmistakably expressed. A Ijrief discussion of the subject followed, in which the several ministers taking part avo their approval to tho Doctor's opinion, and a motion was unanimously 'carried "that a committee of three bo appointed by the president of the association to investigate and consider the advisability of tendering counsel to the Presi-lent-elect regarding the matter of tho in'xtugural ball, and report their determination to the next regular meeting." Tho .president, Rev. Dr. Jordan, appointed to . act on this committee Rev. Dr. Keen, chairman, and Rev. Drs. Tiueher aud Woodruff associates. Mr. Henry Date, the evangelist, "who was present, was then asked toaddress the ministers on tho nature of the work of theAIethodist Alliance. He said that, just ais'&rfew years ago saw tho rise of an independent Christian association for young men, which, through the support largely of those having no church home, has grown to wonderful power and prominence, ?o within the church itself a longing had grown up among the young people for the privileges of some organization that could tie carried on without asserting independence, but rather desiring to assist the growth of the church. This had resulted in the formation of four well-known societies, to : one or the other of which the young peo- ; pie within the pale of Methodism had been Jargely drawn. These are, "The Oxford League' The Young People's Christian .Endeavor Society," "The louii" -People's Jlethodist Alliance of Detroit,,rand "The .Young People's Methodist Alliance of Chicago,' which latter Mr. Date directly represents, with its branches all over the United States. The Alliance, he continued. Js the oldest as well as the largest of all ' these societies of the present time, and is probably on the very crest wave of its 6ucXcess. It teaches and practices the purest :nd most powerful of old-fashioned Methodism, and was doing great good in awakening to zealous work the young of the denomination. The Endeavor society was very good in its devotion and intentions, the evangelist continued, hut it would never do in the Methodist Church. The Methodist Church, he said, was like a high-pressure rgaswell, such as he had seen, that registered SSO pounds to the square inch, -that 13 supplying the tremendous spiritual boiler-fire of tho church, and the other detiominr.tions arc like tho small feed-pipes, ' where the pressure is reduced to eighteen 'pounds to the square inch. Now, the Lord ,'tises both in its proper place, and shows His wisdom in the present condition, for if tho low-pressure steam generated by the boilers of all the other churches were let into the big Methodist boiler it would hardly rtdow the whistle laughter or ring tho grand old bell, not to speas of moving that mighty engine that works with the heart of men. Applause. And. on the other band, if the steam of that pouderous Methodist boiler, trembling with its highpressure power, were let into tho weak, unaccustomed, thin-skinned hulls of the other denominational boilers it would shiver them to atoms in an instant, and they would be "translated" before their mission was completed. Great laughter.l JJut the Lord docs not allow this, tho first being too great a waste of tho slender stores of ammunition; and the last too big a shock tO'be endured; but Ho just uses each in itfejfropec place and way. Some people, Mr. Date prof;eeded to say, object to the "irou-clad" vow of the aUiance, which , prohibits the use of tobacco, as well as drink. "Sow tobacco and you reap dirt," said the Evangelist, greatlj to the amusement of hi? hearers, several of whom are believed to indulee in the weed freely. He then related that he had, recently, while waiting in a station at a small town in . .Illinois, one morning, for tho train, seen . two men slobbering the vile juico into a large pan between them, and they expectorated precisely twenty-seven times per minute, a3 an average rate for several minutes, which he counted, watch in hand, and unobserved. He considered this a fair, - average rate for men in this pitiable condi-' f . tion, and had calculated, mathematically, 4 that if placed in a tank ot about six and a :half feet depth and six feet long and allowed to continue to spit at that rate, they r would drown themselves in just aboatseven ? days. Applabse. Ho had called for a plug of the stuli just to look at it, at a store, and ;had been shown some of the dark mysterious material, and he questioned the clerk regarding how much a man would consume in a day. "They average about one and one-half ounces, sir," was the re- , ply. "I measured the length of one ounce ' and a half," he continued, "and calculated, and am ready for an v one to disprove it, that in lif ty years, Which is by no means an unusual duration of such a habit, a man . would consume considerably over half a mile of that stuff. Laughter.l And that is moro than any hog in ludiana would like to contract to do." He said that the Alliance proposed to keep this abstinence from tobacco a condition of entrance, and those . that could not come in under it could stay out. ' At the close of Mr. Date's address, Rev. Dr. Keen brought forward the proposition to establish a public hall for the dissemination of the gospel pure and free, . somewhere near and south of the Union Depot, where the hundreds of families living in that district in blocks and tene- . merits, who belong to no church, could feel free to come. A number of tho pastors stronglv indorsed tho proposition, and stated that they knew of two men, Mr. William H. Roll, and a friend, of his who had proposed giving $1,000 each to start a capital to run such an anterpriso permanently, though these two gentlemen somewhat preferred, ho said, originally, that it be developed as a chapel rather than a hall. Captain Ritter, who . presided, made an able speech in behalf of the work. A motion was unanimously carried, "That we proceed to raise $,500, and occupy the south-central missionary district for gospel services, giving these privileges to thcue who have no church, or are unwilling now to attend the churches." The following committee was then appointed to take direct action in the matter and report on the result of their lirst investigations, to be made at the next regular meeting, the exact form this new religious establishment is to take: William H. Roll, chairman; assistants, .1. 1$. Linn. Cornelius A. X. Taylor. W. X. Wheeler, Dr. Cleveland and .1. M. liailev. This work contemplates a movement tr the cause of Christ, and does not expect a Methodist church w;ll bft the outcome, though it will be the immediate project of the executive committee and members of the local Methodist Alliance, and Methodists look to the earnest support of all aggressive Christians for the work, as it will tarnish, as one pastor Mid, a. matrnifirent chance to come right down and light the devil in his own stronghold." The Eclipse To-l)ay. Smoked glass will bo in demand this afternoon at u.'Jt o'clock, unless clouds should obscure the view of the Rolar eclipse. To those who witnessed tho total eclipse of the sun in lhCj the sight will not be much of a novelty, but to the younger generation it will alibid much interest. A great deal of theetieet of the eclipse will be lost on account of it coming so late in the day. When the nn sinks behind the western horizon about two-thirds of its face w ill be obscured. To fcee the most of it. it will bo accessary for people living in the city to

either go up on the top of the buildings or put where the buildings will not obstruct the view. reforming' the jury system. Judge Irwin Takes Steps to Defeat the Further Facking of Grand and Petit Juries.

Judge Hadley, of tho Circuit Court, has undertaken to reform the system of drawing juries for the county courts. There has been a great deal of evidence tending to to show that, during tho last three or four years, the juries have been controlled by a few men. This has been especially true with reference to the Criminal Court grand jury. Since John E. Sullivan became clerk, and by virtue of his blllce-connection with the drawing of juries, there has been constant complaint of the make-up of tho grain! jury. It was so constituted that it was impossible to have an indictment .returned against tho tally-sheet forgers. When there seemed to bo most likelihood of indictments against the election corruption Uts, the Democrats turned up a solid Democratic jury, and every man on it was a partisan. Superintendent of Police Travis has also been complaining that grand jurors were constantly drawn who would not indict saloon-keepers. The complaint was so general when Judge Hadlev came upon the bench that he concluded to attempt a reformation. Two weeks ago he appointed Norman S. By ram and John W. Murphy commissioners for the ensuing year. W ith the hope of again securing the grand jiuy for another six months, the old commissioner and tho county clerk drew both tho grand and petit juries for the Criminal Court last Monday. When the drawing came to tho knowledge of Judge Irwin, of the Criminal Court, he ordered that the venire not be issued, as the law requires that the drawing be done only one week before the term of court begins. Consequently, the new commissioners will draw the juries. The new commissioners, Messrs. Bvram and Mnrphy, were sworn in by Judge Iladley yesterday, and the Judge took occasion to. deliver some instructions about how juries should be drawn. Ho believes that if his instructions aro acted upon, there will be little complaint about incompetent and political juries from now on. llis instructions were a follows: The statute provides that this court shall, in this mouth, appoint, for the next calendar year, two persons as jury commissioners, who shall he freeholder, householders and voters of the county, well known to bo of opposite politics and of good character for Intelligence, morality and integrity, and cause them to appear in open court and take nn oath or affirmation that they will perform their duties as such commissioners, honestly and without favor or prejudice: and that in selecting persons to he drawn as jurors they will select none but persons whom they believe to be of good repute for intelligence and honesty, and that they will select none whom they have been, or may be, requested to select; and that in all their selections tliey will endeavor to promote only the impartial administration of .fuatice. You will proceed at once, after to-day, to select from the names of leral voters on the tax duplicate of the county for the current year, and deposit in n box to be furnished by the clerk of the court . for that purpose, the names, written on separate slips of paper of uniform shape, size and color, of twice as many persons as will be required by law for grand and petit jurors in all the courts of this county for all the terms of such court, to commence within tho next calendar year. And this will require more than one thousand names. You will make the selections from each county commissioner's district, in equal numbers as nearly as may be done. Ilaviucr placed the names in the box, you will lock It and deliver It to the clerk of this court, and the key will be retained by on of you whose politics is not tho same as the clerk's. ThL done, then within a period of not moro than one week before the commencement of any term of the Criminal Court the clerk, in your presence, after having lirst well shaken the box, shall open the same and draw therefrom six names of competent persons who shall constitute the grand jury. At tho same, or at different 'times, not more than one week before the commencement of any term of the Circuit, Superior or Criminal Court, and in the same manner and in your presence, the clerk fthall draw for each of said courts, respectively, twelve names of persons as petit jurors for such courts. At tho conclusion of any drawing of jurors the Ikix shall be relocked, and the one of you being of opposite iolltics from the clerk of the court will take and retain possession of the .key till the next drawing. From the provisions of the statutes it wa.4 the, manifest purpose of the Legislature to provide the hijrheat excellence in the intelligent; prompt. Just and impartial administration of the law, and you should constantly bear in mind that this can only be accomplished by imposing the duty upon honest, intelligent and liberal-minded men; men of good reputo among their neighbors for fair dealing men of good understanding, and who have a just sense and appreciation of natural Justice; men who are free from the unconscious prejudice resulting from radicalism and aggressive partisanship in polities oreommcrcial pursuits. I do not mean that you should pass by men who are pronounced and active partisans in this or that controversy, but that you should excuse such as are reputed to have an accommodating conscience, and who endeavor to agitate and influence tho public mind from considerations of passion, prejudice or personal aggrandizement. You will comply with all requests of any judge of any of the courts of this county, and draw for him and form whatever special juries and jurors the business of his court may from time to time, in his judgment require." WATCn-MGHT SERVICES. A Beautiful Story of a Sculptor's Failure and Triumph Services in the Churches. At four churches last night that peculiar custom, the "watch-night service," was observed with all the traditional, old-fash-oued characi eri sties. At Roberts Park M. E. Church the exercises opened at 8 o'clock and continued until 0, when a Now Year's evo social of one hour ensued, after which the "watch-night" services proper began. This was largely of tho nature of a gospel praise meeting, and tho Rev. Henry Date, president of the Methodist Alliance, preached the sermon, taking as his text, "Where art thou," and issuing a most eloquent call to sinners io accept salvation with the parting hours of the old year and start the new year happy in tho Kingdom of Christ. He related a story of rare beauty, .telling of a famousScandinavian sculptor, whoresolved when at tho height of his powers to nroduco one creation which should bo a realization of sonic noble character, ever to be revered by all nations, that would immortalize his name. After reading and thinking over all the great of history, he found no character perfect save that of Christ, and resolved to portray it, though ho was an infidel. Ho loved the divine truth of Christ's humanity, and produced a wonderful sculpturo of great power. Ho had been twoyearscompleting it, and often during those hours of labor a sweet, guileless child had sung beneath his window in the court-yard of the Master's love. When his sculpture was done, after thinking over all the eminent critics, and thinking of tho King himself to judgo of it, he realized that none wero tit. All were weak through prejudice. So he called in that child one morning. "She can tell me," be said, "and she alone." He withdrew the veil from the statue and ask?d hen "Who is that?" The child looked at it in awe, and then, hidingherfacein her hands and turning away, said: "It is some great man." "Oh, IJiave failed! I have failed!" said the sculptor, and his ambition -was wounded deeply. He put the work away where none could see it. Shortly after that ho was converted under tho influence of a simple-minded man who knew Christ, and then great joy came into his heart, as he said, "Now I shall, do it," and he procured a block of pure white marble, and kneeling before it, he prayed for divine help, that it might take something of the form of the Redeemer of men. The work grew rapidly, and at another Christmas-tide 't was done. He once moro called the child, since grown precious to him, and said: "Who is that!' She clapped her hands in rapture, wayinvr, "That is the dear Savior," and ran to kiss the marblo band. He had succeeded, and the w ork shall live forever. After the sermon, three solos were sung with beautiful interpretation, now soft and mellow, now like a trumpet, by the "hoy singer," Jesse H. Underwood, who accompanies Rev. Dr. Date. Watch-night services vcre also held at the Tabernacle, consisting of choir, andcongrcgationai exercises of praise in song, and a ftcnnon befitting the night by the pastor, Rev. Dr.. I. A. Rondthalcr. I Hack ford-street M. E. Church and California-street M. E. Church also observed the night with similar exercises, so that, in all, many Christians watched out the old year in this city with hymns of praiso for its bounties, and watched in the new with prayers for its hoped-for blessing from heaven.

PREPARING FOR THE INAUGURALS. The Outlook for Indiana's Representation at Washington Next March. Chairman Fairbanks, of the general committee having in charge the matter of looking after the interests of Indianians who propose to attend the next presidential inauguration, returned from Washington yesterday. Ho says the railroads aro still promising track room to people who charter sleepers and propose to use them as habitations while they remain at tho national capital. All tho freight cars will be cleaned oli'the sidings near tho depots, and in addition to tho space thus provided a good many temporary switches and spurs have been laid at points that may bo conveniently reached by the street-cars. Quito a number of delegations from this city have arranged to go in this way, and advices from other points in the State indicate that their examplo will bo followed wherever it is practicable. Editor Landis, of tho Delnhi Journal, who was hero last night, stated that citizens of that community had arranged for two cars, and proposed to find track room for them at Alexandria, Va., twenty-four miles distant from Washington, but having ready communication by . morning and evening trains. It is believed there will be no trouble in securing accommodations for every Indianian who wishes to attend, provided ho will notify the committee here in time of his intention to go and the sort of quarters he desires. The committee here will have a sub-committee in Washington, which will look after that end of the line. All that Indiana applicants will have to do will bo to writ to Gen. J. R. Camahan, secretary of the committee at this city, stating what 'accommodations they want. General Camahan will forward the application to the sub-committee at Washington, which will make the arrangement desired, if possible, and notify the applicant direct so that he can go to tne place secured for him at once when he arries at the national capital. The committee have also arranged for a convenient stand for which Indianians can witness tho parade on Pennsylvania avenue. . The Seventieth's Trip to Washington.!

A DIAMOND KING. 15. 1. Barnato and the Fortune lie lias Made in the South American Mines. . Correspondence of the Jewelers' Weekly. B. I. Barnato, one of tho wealthiest diamond miners in tho world, is a candidate for Parliament from Kimberley, and is making a hitter personal light for tho ollico. At a recent public meeting, in denying some statements made against Jiim hy the opposing party, Mr. Barnato related tho history of his career in the colony. It reads like a page from the 'Arahian Nights." He said that became to tho colony in 187.3, and in 1870 ho bought the first claim in Kimherley. paying a good price for it. In 1881 he owned four claims, which he lloated into a company for 25,000 a claim, making, with tho machinery? an aggregate of 115.0C0. That was his hrst attempt to put himself in a good financial position and he succeeded. This was called tho Barnato Company. In 18S4 he bought tho Stewart ground, nayiug tho highest price ever given in Kimherley. Yet with that speculation alone he made 20,000. After tho company passed out of his control, although tho claims stood at 33,000 each, tho concern paid a dividend of 0 per cent, within three months, and did so at tho expiration of each following quarter, until the claims at the end of nine months represented a value of 33.000 each. - In the course of time the ground became covered with reef, and a heavy mining debt was saddled upon tho corporation. Mr. Barnato loaned the money to aid tho company, although, as ho naively admitted. 'Had I put the property up at auction I could have bought it at an enormous profit. Standard shares wero at 17; Kimberly Centrals, with their claims valued at 2.0(r.) each, were at 25, and I am convinced that I could have bought in the Barnato block with great advantage to myself. But what did I do? I amalgamated with the Standard Mining Company, and brought the shares that originally cost 50, after four years work, up to 150." This will give you an idea of how wealth can be amassed in the diamond fields. Now let me, in concluding, repeat Mr. Barnato's own words regarding his present fortune. In the same speech he said: "Tho exports of this colony are 9,000,01)0. Of this, Kimherley exports onehalf. Now my opponents say that I am not a tit and proper person to represent you in Parliament: but let me tell you that I represent hair the exports of this colony. The diamond industry of this colonv is a government within a government; and if I am fit enough to sit on the board of the consolidated mines, as holding one-eighth of the mining interest in Griqualand West, along with such men as the Hon. C. J. Rhodes and the representatives of the historic house of the Rothschilds, surely I am quite good enough to represent this constituenc3r of Kimherley and Beacon!jtield.,, You can estimate from Mr. Barnato's holdings what his income must be. It is only a question of time, and of tho continuance of the diamond yield, when tho South African diamond king will eclipse in wealth tho Indian Maharajah and tho railroad monarch of America. Dove Changes His Faith. San Francisco Special. Tho conversion of a Catholic to tho Hebrew faith has caused much comment in this city. A few days ago a marriage license was issued to Hermann Aman and Sarah Seefeld, and on Wednesday evening the twaiu wero made one at the residence of Rabbi Messing. Several years ago tho f rooni met his present brido in Chicago. Io was a good-lookiug young man, she a beautiful girl, reared in tho orthodox tenets of her faith. It was a case of reciprocal love, hut when Hermann proposed Sarah vowed that she would never marry outside of her religion. Her lover hesitated to make tho sacritico which a change of faith involved. For years he pleaded with her to relent, but in vain. Then her health began to fail, and she was ordered by physicians to trv the climate of California. With her family she came to .San Francisco, tho faithful Hermann following soon after. His infatuation increased as color returned to Sarah's cheeks and the spell of her bright ej'es and raven tresses could no longer bo r ted. Ho formed a heroic resolution to be a Hebrew. Tho ceremony was pcrfom on tho evening of Dec. 9, and the weddii., by Rabbi Messing on the day after Christmas was tho culmination of tho long wooing. A Mighty Hunter. Parkersbnrg (W- Va.) Speial. Capt. George W. Riggs, of St. Mary's, Pleasant county, carries off the palm as tho foremost deer-hunter of tho season. During a two weeks' trip in Cheat mountain, just ended. Capt. Biggs killed, single-handed, twelve deer and one bear, all of which ho brought through this city en route for home, yesterday. The Captain reports having trapped tho largestbear in the mountains a few davs since, but ho didn't bring in tho bear. His storv is that about a week ago he found tho feeding-ground of an immense black bear, and set a trap for him. The ball of the trap was weighted with a heavy log of wood twelve feet long and fourteen inches thick. On Monday night of last week the bear found his vrav into tho trap, after eating thebait ho lifted trap, log and all and made his escape. Capt. Riggs says he proposes to devote a week in running down and bagging this animal, which he believes to bo tho largest in the Allegheny mountains. Peaks' Soap secures a beautiful complexion.
