PRICES ALWAYS IN PLAIN FIGURES PETTIS, BASSETT & CO BASE-BALL GOSSIP. There Appears to Be General Satisfaction Orer th Engagement of Bancroft. The engagement of Bancroft to manage the local ball club seems to be regarded as a, wise more on tho part of the directors, especially by thoao "who hare had experience and understand the business. The matter was pretty thoroughly canvassed in base-ball circles yesterday, and the action of the club officials met with general approval. One gentleman who has been connected with several ball clubs said that the selection of Bancroft to manage the Hoosiers was unquestionably the best thing that could have been 'ono for tho organization. I have been in favor of getting him from the start," said another, "and I am clad that tho management has at last recojruized the necessity of securing a man who knows how to handle a ball team; and in Bancroft they have found a good one. I hare known him for many years and he has always been a success. "How about his failure with the Athletic.?" was asked. "He was not a failure-replied the gentleman. No man coultl have managed that club under the circumstances that existed at that time. The clnb was owned by threo men who had no confidence in each other, and very little in any one else. It is said that thev divided tho Teceipts after each game. Thev never agreed as to how tho club should bo managed and there was a sreneral squabble among tho owners all the time. It is stated that Bancroft would put the names of certain players on tho scorecard in the morning and when he went to to the grounds in the afternoon, was liable to find the same men had been released. No man can manage a ball team with such interference, aud ho linally became disgusted and quit. I may be mistaken, but I believe he will be a snccess with the Indianapolis team, and will get better work out of the men than a nv one else has ever done. At any rate, if they do not obey the rules of the club, they will get no salary. There is no doubt of that." It has not been definitely decided yet to have the players report in Louisville the last week in March. The idea is not a good one, it is claimed by some. They say the men should all report in Indianapolis not later than March 0. so as to give them at least some gymnasium practice before the opening of the exhibition season. Xot half ol them would be on hand if asked to report in Louisville, and those who did show up would be in no condition to play ball. Exhibition games do not count jd the championship race. but the Indianapolis club cannot afford to be beaten in all of these contests, no ma tter if they do not go on record. The Hoosiers want to win evey game they can, exhibition or otherwise, and, with this aim in view, the men should be on hand as early as possible and beirin the preliminary work. The otlb ials of the Kvansvillo chib telegraphed Larry McKcon on Saturday, asking for his terms to manage, play h'rst base and captain the team of that city. 31cKeon is now considering the matter and will probably come to some understanding with tht, Kvansvil! j people. He is in good condition and ought to bo a splendid man for tmch position. If he accepts the place, Larry will begin at once to get a good team together, and, as he is familiar with the ability of a great many young players, ho will, doublets, organize a winner. mi iicw litleloards at Wm.

SnOULD BE A DAY OF BEST

The Christian Sabbath Should Bo Free, Dr. McLcod Says, from Labor. Missionary Work of the Episcopal Church Among Colored People Service Attending the Confirmation of Beaf Mates. Rev. Br. McLcod, at the Second Presbyterian Church, spoke last night on "The Christian Sabbath," his text being from Mark ii, 27: "The Sabbath was made for man." After showing that Jesus Christ, as Lord of the Sabbath, brushed away the rubbish with which tho Pharisees had cursed it. rebuking their punctiliousness a.id religious martinetism, he laid down the principle that man has a right to tho Sabbath, and to tho rest it brings to him. He said that ho thought it would bo generally conceded that the Sabbath question was never more practical and important than it is to-day. There are tens of thousands who entertain very loose notions about the Sabbath, and, what is, perhaps, still more to be regretted, the power of the secular press is largely thrown on the sido of those whose ideas of the Sabbath are so liberal that they would not be unwilling to see the Christian's holy day changed into an American holiday. . Tho Doctor, referring to Sunday newspapers, said it was not his intention to discuss the question, but that it was his purpose to say that so far as tho office-work is concerned, as a rule, there is moro Sunday labor bestowed upon getting up tho Monday paper than there is in getting up tho Sunday paper, aud that a great deal has been made of this point by the publishers of Sundav newspapers It was not the amount of Sunday labor employed in tho mere editing and printing of Sunday papers to which objection is chiefly made, but that upon which the friends of tho Sabbath lay the greatest stress is the amount of Sunday labor which is required to circulate theso papers; that thousands, tens of thousands of persons are thus einploved, and to those engaged the Sabbath does not mean rest but work, moro and harder work than in any day of the week. He said that this was the point to bo settled between the publishers and the God of tho Sabbath, and tnat they cannot evade it. Tho Doctor said It was true that, after a period of four thousand years, the Sabbath was changed from the seventh day of the "week to the first, but it was changed for a good reason to commemorate the resurrection of the Lord of the Sabbath. That greatest event in the history of redemption is the origin of what is distinctly called the Christian Sabbath. But the design is of far moro importance. It was made for man. It was designed to benefit him physical-, mentally, morally and spiritually. Where it has been rightly observed it has done all this. The very word Sabbath means rest. Tho fourth commandment enjoins rest during one day of the week, but it should not be forgotton that it also enjoins work during the other six days. "Six days shalt thou labor" is a most important part of tho fourth commandment, (iod designed the Sabbath not only as a day upon which the workingmau might rest his tired bodv. or, if his work be mental, his tired mind, but also as a day for meditation, for prayer, for worship, for religious instruction, for doing deeds of mercv. for cnltivatinir familv atf ection, for making life purer, sweeter and happier, for Christian fellowship, for communion with the Father of our spirit, and for making suitable preparation for the enjoyment of that rest that remains for tho people of God. m All Christians are not agreed as to the precise way in which the Sabbath should bo Kept. That question was discussed in Christ's day, and in the apostolic age. It was also discussed at tho time of tho reformation, inst as it has been discussed in our own day. That all men are under obligation to keep the Sabbath has never been seriously questioned by any Christian teacher, but the ground upon which this obligation rests has oftentimes been a subject of debate: and so, too, some Christians have advocated a stricter observance of it than other3. Ho who can dispense with it must be holy and spiritual, indeed: and he who, still unholy and unspiritual, would yet dispense with it, is a man who would fain be wiser than his Maker. An advocate of the religious non-observance of the Sabbath, says: "We, Christians as we are, still need the law, both in its restraints and in its aids to our weakness. No man who knows himself but will gladly aud joyfully use the institution. No man who Knows the need of his brethren will wantonly desecrate it or recklessly hurt even their scruples respecting its observance. And no such man can look with aught but grave or serious apprehension on an innovation that will invito millions, I do not say to au irreligious, but certainly to an unreligious use of the day of rest." The Doctor, continuing, said that, while this is most true, still the question of Sabbath observance is beset with not a little difficulty. The devout Christian is not likely to go far astray respecting it, but modern society is so constituted that some men must work on the Sabbath. They must work if they would keep their situations and support their families. In the interests of theso sons of toil, if it can be shown that the running of these enterprises is necessary, every one of them is entitled to ono day in tho week as a dav of rest. If they cannot have Sunday let them have some other day of the week. "My point," said tho Doctor, "is this: that to every man God has given a Sabbath, and that every man is entitled to the Sabbath which God has given him. The Sabbath day is just as long as any other day of the week. It means a day of twenty-four hours. To this seventh portion of timo every man is entitled. His physical nature needs it and his religious naturo needs it, for man is a religions as well as a physical being, and if any man will deprive another of tho blessings of this day, or if any man does willfully deprive himself of its blessings he thereby sins both against God and his own soul and for his sin he must one day render an account." In conclusion the Doctor said, "the State is interested in this question as well as the church. The press should be interested in it as well as tho pulpit, and church and State, press and pulpit should join hands and hearts in maintaining the Christian Sabbath in its integrity. Piety as well as patriotism and patriotism no less than piety cry out against its profanation." Thought in Religious Life. Dr. Ford preached at tho Central-avenue Church yesterday morning, taking his text from "Phihppians iv, 8." "Think on theso things." The Doctor said the chief and distinguishing characteristic of man as an earth-born creature is that he is a reflective being. One writer calls him a thinking animal. If, therefore, he fails to think, ho is a failure even as an animaL But as a copy of deity man is essentially a thinking being. Tho outflowing of tho divine mind is incessant, and his thoughts are constantly assuming new and beautiful shapes before our eyes, in the various concrete forms of nature; for naturo is but a partial elaboration of God's thoughts. The laws of nature are but the dynamics of his ceaseless and unchanging will. He, therefore, who studies natural objects as concrete exprcssionsof God's thought will find himself not groping his way to Faradiso. but Actually passing along avenues lined with paradisean splendors. Such a mind will not be constantly asking that he may co to heaven when he dies; he will lind himself while yet living on the earth, treading the sunlit empyrean whero God lives, and thinks, and speaks. As natural things are molded upon divine thought, the Doctor continued, so man's character is molded upon what he thinks. Character is not what man seems to be, but what ho really is. It is what ' Gd knows him to be. and what God measures hm by. Now aH thoughts take upon themselves tho impress of the "things" thought upon, so. by a process of mental assimilation the attracting qualities of tho thing reflected upon become a part of the very self of the thinker. Tho supreme demaud of human happiness is the consciousness that our character is approved of God. lint the character that God approves must bo builded upon his own supreme excellencies, and mut partake of the divine nature. Asa thinker, man's happiness makes

a positive demand upon the infinite for a pprnrttinl and aU incessant eerie of new oirths in thought, new discorcrie of 'intellect, and higher and constantly higher achievement of genius. This is nothing less than a demand for an infinite sphere of intinite variety and eternal duration.. and such a sphere exists bovrhero but in the eternal niind of the infinite Jehovah. Indeed, this fact is tho secret of our delight at every new uiscov ery mado by onr own thoughts. We are thrilled with ecstacy at every new achievement of genius, simply because every new discovery in thought and every new achievement of genius is but. a deeper exploration of the divine mind, a fresh appropriation of some divine quality. God's thoughts, given to v.a in the concrete forms of nature, the Doctor said, simply serve ns as suggestions of tho divine being who stands behind them, and whoso hand touched them into existence. They are ephemeral at best, and we 6hall soon be separated from them. But their sublime value lies in the fact that they are open channels for entering and exploring the mind of God. When these are removed we shall be cut off from even these sugf estive objects. No one knew better than he inspired philosopher of Tarsus how miserable man must be on finding

himself forever cut oJ from these suggestive things, and yet eternally disqualified for exploring the infinite mind. Hence he nlaces before us six essential ob ject lessons in character-building, with the injunction to "Think on tnefie things.77 These object lessons are. "Whatsoever things are true, or honorable, or just, or pure, or lovely, or of good report, think on these things." As creatures in the image of God "these things" all exist in us because they exist in Him. But in Him they are absolute, while in us they are undeveloped principles awaiting moral choice to set them agoing heavenward aud godward. As a thought is a part of every element in our being, and as man is God's highest thought next to Hi conception of himself, so when God thoucht out man, that thought Iositedin nian a germ from every excelenco in the diviue nature. And theso germs of divine excellence posited in us, form tho basis of those transcendental beliefs that give birth to human thought, and that make thinking possible to us. These divine qualities, absolute in God, must be come self-existent and automatic in us before we are prepared to report for duty be fore His throne, or pass to higher snheres and. broader fields of thought. The question, then, is not only pertinent, 1 -A - A. ill. A - ' . A. uus pregnaut wuu momeaioiu ue8. ivuab kind of characters are we forming for eter nity! It is a fatal delusion that lures us with sirenic strains to believe that wo can reject the divine excellencies from onr reflections, form characters upon what is unreal and hellward in tendency, and then, at last, by a few selhsn prayers and a lew puling tears change tho whole order of our being. The law of causation is immutable, inexorable, irrevocable. "Whatsoever a man sowetn that shall he also reap." It requires thought, intense and unremitting thought, to shape a human life into godlike nobleness and exquisito loveliness, and there is no nobler employment for the human intellect than to master the ethics upon which such a life may be molded into ineffable beauty and self -existent majesty. Therefore, "Think on theso things." An Impressive Service. The services at Christ Episcopal Church, yesterday afternoon, were of special inter est to deaf mutes, half the audience of the well-filled room being these children of silence. Bishop Knickcrbacker conducted the service, assisted by Beva. Ranger and Mann, the last-named being tho wellknown deaf mute evangelist, himself a deaf mute, whose ministrations extend to these people, scattered over more than a dozen States. There are about 40,000 deaf mutes in tho United States, and the Protestant Episcopal Church has, for several years, through Dr. Callander, Rev. W. A. Mann and half a dozen other ministers, made special efforts to carry to thm. in tho sign language, tho bread o life. The services began with the reading, by Mr. Ranger, of the hymn, "Rock of Ages," which was not sung, but translated to tho deaf mute members of the audience, by Mr. Mann, in rapid and expressive gestures. The sacrament of baptism was administered by him to two young ladies, two others standing as their sponsors, the translation ot the beautiful words of the servico into the sign languago being watch with eager eyes by those at the font, who mado tho responses in the same silent language. "Nearer, my God, to Thee" was then read by Mr. Ranger, Mr. Mann again translating, who also translated the Apostles' Creed into the sign language, as it was read by tho Bishop. Mr. Mann's sermon, read to the audience by Mr. Ranger and translated to the children of silence by the mute pastor, was taken from the concluding verses of the seventh chapter of Mark: "And thev bring unto Him one that was deaf and Jiau an impediment in his speech, and they beseech Him to put His hand upon him. And He took him aside from the multitude and put His fingers into his ears, and He spit and touched his tongue. And looking up to heaven. He sighed and saith unto him: Ephphatha,' that is, Bo opened.1 And And straightway Iiis ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosened, and he spake plain. And they were beyond measure astonished, saying. 'He h?th done all things well; He maketh both the deaf to hear and the dumb to 6peak.' " One part of the sermon, for tho benefit of others than tho mutes, explained the manner in which they wero taught the significance of the written or printed word, and how words and ideas were represented in the sign language; that tho word multitude is by drawing tho hands widely apart; smallness, by drawing them near together; God, by pointing revently upward; tho Crints of nails, to signify Jesus Christ; reathing on the hands, the spirit; making a circle with tho forefinger, eternity; drawing the right hand in a straight line across tho palm of tho hand, right; drawn in a crooked line, wrong; moving the forefinger in a straight line from the lips, truth. It is little more than seventy years since the first school to teach deaf mutts was established at Hartford. There are now more than seventy schools, with a yearly attendance ott over 8,000 chiluren. Washington city has tho only higher course school in the world for deaf mutes, and the schools in the United States are far ahead of those in Europe. The task of giving the deaf and dumb religious instruction in a thorough way was begun about forty years ago iu New York city. It has been continued by tho Episcopal Church under difficulties, but with much encouragement in the great success acomplished. The deaf and dumb have thus been tho last to receive the ministry of the church, missions having been sent out to an the world winio these unfortunates were not reached by the word, even at Christian firesides. The services concluded with tho confirmation by the bishop of twelve girls, most of them just entering womanhood. Episcopal Missions in the South. Right Rev. T. U. Dudley, D. D., Bishop of Kentucky, addressed the Episcopal congregation at Christ Church last evening, on the efforts of the church among tho colored peoplo of tho South. The bishop adds to a commanding presence the gift of vigorous oratory, and spoke earnestly in advocacy of the work in which he is especially interested. He took for his text tho words, "For we cannot but speak the things that we have heard," and drew from them the lesson that to members of every Christian denomination belonged the duty of extending tho blessings they had experienced. Christ came to build His kingdom upon earth, not a kingdom limited in its character, but ono embracing all kinds and conditions of men. and the principle upon which the Christian religion was founded was that those who had experienced it should go aud tell what they had heard. He spoke ot a picture lie hau seen oi a woman, at whoso feet knelt a husband or lover begging her to recant professions of Christian belief which, if persevered in, would con sign her to martvrdom. and whose face snowed tno mvincioie ianu ana immovaoie purpose of her life: and he compared tho zeal and sacriliees of the early martyrs with the attitude of modern memoers of the church who take no interest in mis sions. No interest in missions meant no in terest in Jesus Christ, It was no answer that Bantists. Methodists. Conirreffationab ists or Presbyterians would do missionary work among tho colored people of the

South. The Episcopal Church must tell w!iat it has hearfL It has what no one else hat-to bestow. As a mere matter of using Christian influence to elovate citizenship, he urged bis hearer to remember that within the next ten years the colored peoplo of tho South would hold the balance of power in the government of the country, electing its legislators and rulers. At present a large proportion of them were without any intelligent conception of the eystein of Christianity. Many of them degraded the elements of Christ into mere fetiches. Ho had recently seen a respectable-looking colored women from tho country in conversation with two members of a colored church, who wero rallying her for coming to town to attend communion service, and "to drink our wine because it is better than yours." Tho Episcopal Church had done little or nothing for theso people. At the Church congress in Chicago, in 18SC, it had appointed a committee of fifteen to look after the matter, and a beginning was made, with an annual appropriation of $20,000 a most inconsiderable sum with which to evangelize eight millions of people. This year 30.000 would be expended in the work, . which was something' of an improvement, but he begged that the magnitude of tho undertaking be kept in view and that these people be thought about and prayed for. At the conclusion of the Bis hop's address. Bishop Knickerbacker added hearty commendation of its object, and a collection was taken up to aid in the work. St. John's Church Dedicated. For some years the Rev. M. J. Sterns, the young pastor of St. John's, the Evangelical Reformed Church, has been endeavoring to secure the erection of a more suitable structnre than the one in which the congregation has been worshipin g on South East 6tree t. He adopted the novel idea of a church building association, by which expedient, with tho sale of tho old church, 810.000 was raised. The result is seen to-day in a handsome brick edifice, with its gildod crown, and lofty steeple that stands npon the corner of Alabama and Merrill streefc. The church, which can be entered through two doorways in front, contains one of the best ar

ranged auditoriums in the city. The pulpit is placed near its center, with the seats for 400 persons distributed in a semi-circle around it, with excellent acoutdic efiect. The furniture of the church is jn cnerry, and its appearance is very rich in the subdued color-light shed through the i?ix large cathedral staiued-giass windows, i Mere is a larcre Sundav-school room on tL c first iloor. separated from tho main auditorium by sliding doors, and several smaller un-rlnv-srhnfil rooms nn-atairs. The flralkCry will seat 100 persons. I ho churcn wa9 ucdicatea yesteruay, ti;e exercises attending the event beginning iu the morning, wnen an tno neiornieu churches took part. Tho service was onened by the pastor, with words of en of the First Reformed Church, then read from tho Scriptures and led in prayer, after which the First choir gave an impressive rendering of "Open Wilfl fhft Honrs" Tho con crre oration joined in singing with hearty feeling that iaraous iiyiim, juaruu juuiuers luvunte, u "Ein feste Burg ist Unser Gott." This was followed by the sermon, by Rev. Dr. F. O. Zesch, of Salem's Congregation, Cincinnati. After a sons by tho First choir, and prayer by Rev. H. Helming, of the Emanuel's Reformed Church, the dedicatory ceremonies were concluded by tho pastor. Then followed the closfng song, "Now all praiso God." The benediction was then pro nounced by Rev. J. C. Barth, of the .Reformed Church at Haughville. The exercises in me aiternoon were in Entrlisb. when, after sineincr "All hail the power of Jesus' name," came a reading ot scriptural lesson ana prayer uy i.ev. r V. Hnntcr at the Seventh Presbyterian Church. The First Church choir then rendered the song, "It is a Good Thine to Give Thanks," following which the sermon was delivered bv Rev. AViliiam Xanders, of the Reformed Church. Bufitou, la. Mr. Frank Iske gave a solo, "Far o'er tho Stars there is Rest." The Rev. Edward lirown, of the Sixth Presbyterian Chutrh, led in prayer, oiwl .aftpr Riuoinir bv the comrrecation and by tho junior choin "Softly fades the twilight ray of the Holy Sabbath day," the congregation was dismissed. The evening services, in some respects tfce mosi irapressivoof all, were in German. AU the German churches of the city were represented in the large congregation, except the Orthodox Lutheran, and the time was larcely devoted to addresses referring to the future work and field of the new church. Tho service was opened by prayer by Rev. P. O. Zesch, followed by the grand anthem, "Jehovah, Thy Name," gvven by ice junior cuoir. xue acv. u. j. ciciutib then delivered the principal address of the evening, containing an interesting review nf the church's nast historr and its misswn to-day. Three addresses followed by Rev. U. reters, or zion's unurcn; itev, Schneider, of the First Gorman Methodist, and the Rov. H. Helming, of Emanuel's Reformed Church. The junior choir then rendered very sweetly the hymn "Hear Thy Savior," after which the pastor responded, to the addresses of tho evening in an effectiva ervpflch. in wbie.h be thnnked all for the earnest part they had taken in brightening xne ueuicauuu oi uu mucu cuiuto uu intending their blessings to his people. The exercises closed with tho rendition, by the First choir, of "O, tome, let us Sing." After receiving tho benediction, the congregation was uismisseo. Active Work at St. raul'i. Tho recent fire at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, instead of having a discouraging effect, has appeared to havo quickened tho yonl of fh rontrreffntion. Fortv-five news have been rented by persons who havo lately connected themselves witu tne nlinrMi nnd &700 have been added to Dr. Jcnckes's yearly salary. The chapel will be rebuilt during the early spring with a second story for social and Sunday-school rooms. TALK ABOUT THE CABINET. Mr. Nohle's Visit to the President-Elect and an Incident of Mr. Windom's Call. When it was learned that J. W. Noble, of St. Louis, who had been mentioned during the past week as a prospective member of the Cabinet, had visited the Presidentelect on Saturday without his presence in the city being known, gossip began to center around his name with more interest than it had yet caused. Heretofore he was regarded as a possibility, but the visit and the manner in which it was made leads the gossipers to accept it almost as confirmation of the current talk that Mr. Noble is to bo the next Secretary of tho Interior. The visit preceded that of Mr. Windom and that tact also warranted the certainty with which the gossipers referred to the next Cabinet. Mr. Noble was not long in the city. He came in early in tho morning and after breakfasting at the Bates, without registering, took a carriage and was driven to General Harrison's residence. There ho remained until near noon, when he drove to the Union Passenger Station and soon left for the West. With this speculation arose further canvass of Mr. Windom's position to tho next administration, and that it is to be close acquires additional grounds for belief as incidents of his visit hero are brought o ut. It is generally accepted in the gossip one hears in the hotel lobbies that he is to havo the Treasury portfolio. The President-elect attended services yesterday morning at tho First Presbyterian Church. He walked there, notwithstanding the stormy weather, but his wife and daughter followed in their carriage. After service the General and his former law-partner and confidential friend, W. H. H. Miller, walked leisurely up Pennsylvania street to the General's residence. There were no visitors of note received by the President-elect during tho day. He had his time for himself. and family, except when tho calls of neighbors and some friends demanded their attention. The General's departuro for Washington is still not definitely appointed, but it will be either the latter part of this or the first of next week. But the stronger probability points to Monday or Tuesday next. The Woman's Club has issued invitations to its members for a reception at the NewDcnison Hotel on to-morrow night in honor of Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. McK.ee, both of whom are members of the club. This will
