THE HOME MISSION PIELD

Wesley's Method of Going Out toTeople Proposed as the One Effective Plan. A Crusade Against Wine-Rooms Suggested Theatrical Posters Denounced by the W. L C. T. U. North Indiana Conference. The "Woman's Home Misionary Society of the Indianapolis district of the Southeast Indiana Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, met yesterday forenoon at Roberts Park M. E. Church, opening -with Scripture reading by Mrs. Schmidlap, -which was followed by an address of welcome by Mrs. S. A. Keen and a response by Miss Mattie Sparks. An excellent paper was read by Mrs. F. Tincher, which was succeeded by reading by Miss J. Blackiidge and Mr. Cooley and a prayer for temperance by Mrs. C. Behymer. The district represented in this organization comprises ladies who are members of Roberts Park, Central avenue, Hall Place, Fletcher Place, Grace and Edwin Ray churches of this city, and churches at Shelbyyille and the larger towns in the district. When the noon hour arrived the ladies repaired to luncheon, resuming the session at 2 o'clock. After devotional exercises, conducted by Mrs. Sullivan, Sirs. Frettyman spoke of the work of the Home Missionary Society. She said she had a secret partiality for John Wesley's method of going out to the mob. The success of this plan is better understood from year to year, as is evidenced by establishing schools of industry for girls where tho refinements of true home influences are cultivated. This is done in connection with useful, practical knowledge, by placing before the scholars Home dehnite plan of living. To succeed in itujr iciuiui w i iv ib Xiao uuvtivij i learned that a way must bo found to the hearthstone where the motherand her children gather. Whether in the log cabins of the poor and aimless whites in the South; whether with tho depraved in town or city, we feel like pouring money . into the treasury that the blessed cross may be exalted before all peoples. In a recent paper of fashion and politeness she had seen two illustrations, ono represented a class of Indians before entering the Carlisle schools, unkempt, gloomy and treacnerons; tne otner tne same scnoiars after one year's instruction. WThat - a marked change is portrayed! And if the few can be so reached and so wonderfully improved, what an opportunity has been missed by the government in the past in failing to provide for the mental and spiritual needs of the unnumbered host that has passed from the Indian Territories to tne eternal wonu: one snowea how the Mormon, altogether a creature of lust, suffered in comparison with the Mohammedan Turk, the latter loyal to his government, the former a traitor to the flag protecting him, and the indolent, incapable inmate of the harem needs less pity than the toiling, degraded, deluded, ignorant slave of a Mormon master. Mrs. Frettyman, who was for many years a missionary in Turkey, said that while she could not forget to pity tho dark-eyed Bulgarian girls or their glance, so full of slumberous despair, she was first for tho rescue of the immigrant girls, as they land upon our shores, from the cruel grasp of a destroyer worse than death, because the dim twilight of ignorance is not so frightful as the gulf of despair. Sue said while heathenism is an awful condition, despairing humanity, full of guilt and discontent in the midst of religious light, is worse. All that had been heard of the condition of the poor white and colored people of the South is but a tithe of the reality. In the pine woods there are still barefooted, hungry, children; hungry, too, for mental and spiritual food, "lhavo seen them.'' she continued, "and felt a tremor when a vacant glance betrayed the fact that the sweetness of redeeming love was an unmeaning thought to them. The terrors of the lumber regions, the girls landing on Eastern shores from over the seas seem but the moan in echo of tho Mormon woman, our Indian listers and the hapless ones in tho . South." Speakingof Indianapolis she said: "There are girls still in their teens walking the streets at night with boon companions of the other sex, both going the way of death. Boot-blacks, cash-boys and girls and news-boys, who equal in guilty sin, in precocious knowledge of crime tho street Arabs of New York, and who will be a dangerous element a few years hence. Obscene pictures and literature flood our streets, and good people avert their eyes and pass on, and let the uevu nave ms wav. mere are nitecn known wine-rooms, besides the saloons and and dens that are unacknowledged by the police. No married woman is wanted there. accompanied by a man. That means girls are to supply these hellish traps. I am in favor of preparing the way of the Lord by attacking these evils, and one way would be to ask the Mayor of the city for police Srotection while we raid these infamous ens." The following officers of the society were elected; President Mrs. Levi Ritter, Irvington. Vice-presidents Mrs. Berryhill and Mrs. Schmidlap, Indianapolis; Mrs. Kobbins,8helbyville. Recording Secretary Miss Mattie Sparks Indianapolis. Corresponding Secretary Mrs. Tinsley, Shelbyville. Treasurer Mrs. Behymer, Indianapolis. Thero will be one day's session of the society at Acton Park next summer, during the assembly there, and a committee on programme was chosen, consisting of Mrs. Andrews, Jlrs. Hyde, Mrs. Keen and Mrs. Tinsley. Tho following were chosen as a committee for the annual meeting to bo held at Shelbyville in tho first week of April, 1S00: Airs. Behymer, Mrs. Andrews, Mrs. Tinsley, Mrs. Ritter, and Miss Mattie Sparks. The society then adjourned. North Indiana M. E. Conference. Lagrange, Ind., April 3. Rev. E.

U. held yesterday afternoon, in Christ Church chapel, the evangelistic department, Mrs. D. S. Crossland, superintendent,

.was enlarged by adding to the workers therein Miss Anna Burgess, Miss Laura Jennings and Miss L. E. Rudas, and it was voted to co-operate with the Gospel Temperance Union in its work for reformed men and their families. The following preamble and resolutions were adopted: Whereas, The murder, which has recently called public attention to the wine-rooms of the city, in one of which it originated, is but one of the many daily evidences of the demoralizing lnllucnce of these places, which foster infidelity to the marriage relation and the sacred duties of home, debauch younjr womanhood, debase young men and lead to the grossest of crimes; and. Whereas, The existence of such places of resort In connection with liquor saloons is unlawful. Resolved. That we protest In the name of law and morality against allowing these dens of vice and crime to continue their work of death, and we a.k all citizens who desire the promotion of morality and temperance in our city to unite in protesting against this evil and in the demand that the law forbidding the keeping of such rooms be enforced by the proper city oilicials. The following was also adopted: W'hereas, We observe an increasing boldness in the posting of indecent theater bills, notably those of the Lydia Thompson troupe, conspicuously posted on the Cirand Opera-house bulletins last week. The display of Mich pictures in cigar stores, news depots and many jrrocery stores, is a dishonor to womanhood, and blunt the moral sense of the people and assail the innocence and purity of childhood. Resolved, That we call the attention of ministers, parents and teachers of our city to these things, asking them to use their voice and influence to secure the suppression of this alarmingly prevalent Rource of impurity. Iiesolvcd, That we earnestly petition his Ilonor, the Mayor, and the police commissioners to see that the law prohibiting the exhibition of indecent pictures is enforced, and our streets rid of this abomination. After transacting business of a routine character, tho union adjourned. Notes of Churches and Societies.

John II. Lane, manager of P. S. Gilmore, has been in town for several days trying to arrange for the coming of Gilmore's band, with its anvil and artillery features, in a revival of his famous jubilees. Dickson &. Talbott yesterday closed a deal with him, whereby, instead of playing the attraction on shares, they have agreed to pay 4,000 for two concerts, matinee and evening. May 8. Ry doing this they aro euabled to control the prices, which they have lixed at 75 cents to all parts of the house for tho matinee, and $1 for the night. If this undertaking is successful at popular prices, other big musical attractions will follow it. The band has sixty-two musicians, and its soloists include such famous singers as Campanini. Del Puentc, Myron W nitney, the Swedish tenor De Denckwaidt, Signorina De Vere, Blanche Stone, Helen Dudley Campbell and others. The concerts will bo given at Tomlinson Hall, as the theaters . are too smalL NOTES. Mr. James O'Neill, who is the best exponent of the romantic drama now on tho American stage, will begin an engagement at the Grand to-night, in the dramatic version of Damas's powerful storv, "Monte Cristo," which will be given with elaborate scenery. No contemporaneous play excells this in interest and picturesnueness, and Mr. O'Neill's presentation of tne title role is masterly and forceful. In his company, which is of uniform excellence, aro two Indianapolis ladies, Miss Kato Fletcher and Miss Anna Mortland. Tho production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," by the Stetson company, at English's tonight and the rest of the week, will be with special scenery throughout, and a double quartet, new mechanical effects and other interesting features. This company has met with much success in this popular play, and is credited withl giving it much better than any other. There is already a largo advance sale. There will bo a change of bill at the Park to-day, Mr. Wallick and his companv presenting the Bandit King," which will run tho rest of theweek. Tho business continues large. Hazel, who has received many favorablo notices as a mind-reader, will give an exhibition at the Grand Opera-house Sunday night. Ho proposes to do as much as Bishop and Brown, and to do it as well. DAMAGED BY FIRE. Residence Troperty Destroyed, Causing a Loss of Several llnndred Dollars. At 2 o'clock yesterday morning tho residence of Thomas McOuat, 502Rncklo street, was almost totally destroyed by lire. Tho property, which was owned by a man by tho name of Allen, and valued at $1,000, was damaged to the extent of $000, a part of which is covered by insurance. Ail of the household furnishings belonging to McOuat and his family were destroyed, a loss of $00, of which $400 will be recovered by insurance. The cause of tho lire is unknown, as all the natural-gas fires in tho house but one had been turned out. and it was not in a condition to be considered dangerous. Yesterday noon a defective Hue caused a slight blaze at the residence of Godfrey Bloom, 470 South Delaware street, injuring tho property to tho extent of 275. A Stable Burned. A stablo in tho rear of tho property of Christopher Brink, 743 North Tennessee street, was almost totally distroyed by firo last night about 8 o'clock. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. It began in the hay-loft, and caused a loss of $500, a part of which is covered by insurance. Th residence on the primises is occupied by A. 11. Gladden. Caused a Trifling Loss. At 1 o'clock this morning lire was discovered in tho basement of Joseph Hostliuger's gas-fitting shop, 473 East Washington street, but it was easily extinguished. The loss, which is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary, will be about $ao. Honorary Member. At tho meeting of the Governors Guard, last evening, a large list of honorary members, including President Harrison. exGovernor Porter, Governor Foraker. Cob J. C. New. William Wallace, C. W. Fairbanks . and others, were elected

IN THE CITY'S INTERESTS

Ttyo Plans That Should Receive the Aid of Citizens of Means and Influence. Free Gas for Mann fact urers Will Tut Around the Belt Many Flourishing Industries The Grand Army's National Encampment. The call for a meeting in the interest of free gas to manufacturers, at the courthonso last night, brought out a large number of persons interested in land along and near the line of the Belt railroad, to whom the invitation was specially addressed. Or ganization was delayed until a meeting with reference to securing the national encampment of the G. A. R. had concluded its business in the Criminal Courtroom, but after that ex-Mayor John Caven was called to the chair, and Arthur Gillette was appointed, secretary. The chairman, in stating tho object of tho meeting at some length, said the project to furnish free gas was a largo one, requiring a great amount of labor and a considerable sum of money. Three natural gas companies had already been formed by men who had invested large amounts and who expected considerable direct returns. The present enterprise was of a different character and somewhat out of the beaten track. It proposed to give away gas, and the only probable return would be iu the way of enhancing general values and prosperity. Tho ijnestion was whether the enterprise was desirable or necessary, and if so, whether it was practical. In the coal period, Mr. Caven continued, Indianapolis was at tho front because coal hero was cheap and convenient. Now a change had come, and instead of boiug nearer, the city was further from tne coal supply than somo of her neighbors. The new fuel had created a revolution. The cost of manufacturing must bo reimbursed in tho final sale, andlocalities which furnish special advantages will take the lead. To put the city on an equality with her neighbors she must pipe natural gas and oii'er the same advantages they oiler to manufacturers. As to tho means of doing this, general contributions were expected, but, under the plan proposed, lands along tho licit railroad would bo more directly benefited than other portions of tho city, and their owners were naturally looked to to take tho initiative in tho movement. Thcsecontributious could be made in land if preferred. Full provision had been made to prevent landowers there who were unwilling to help from reaping any advantago from the contributions of others more liberal and enterprising. Judge Martindalo spoke of some of tho details of the plan proposed, and explained the forms of subscription and the trust agreement, which have been heretofore published. As to the cost, it was estimated that a twelve-inch main around the Uelt would cost $8,000 per mile, or 120,000, and an eight-inch supply main eight miles in length would cost $4,000 Per m"c or 33,000, ' making a total of $152,000. It was not intended that tho company 6hould carry gas direct to manufacturing sites, but to allow manufacturers to tap the reservoir and conduct it to lands whose owners had contributed to tho enterprise, and lands owned by persons who had borne no part of tho burden of tho enterprise were to bo debarred from the use of the gas by the proposed plan, as a fuel or lllumiuant. As to the expense of keeping up the line, he thought it could bo met by allowing the residents along the line to uso the gas at 0 per cent, of prices now paid in Indianapolis, the residents to do their own pining. W. F. Rupp, one of the land owners along ' the Kelt road line, thought well of the project, but doubted tho sufficiency of the sum mentioned. It was stated that tho sum of 150,000 was only fixed as tho amount at which subscriptions should become binding, and that the capital stock could be increased to 1.000,000 if necessary. Colonel Yeoman, another owner of property on tho Uelt, favored the project, but thought it would bo a mistake to . load tho whole burden of tho enterprise on the holders of real estate in that locality. Every resident of the city ought to bo interested in making it a success. Ho spoke of what other towns in the gas belt had done, and said it was an error to think that only bankrupt manufacturers were changing their locations to these points. It was a natural movement, und if Indianapolis did not wako up to the exigencies of tho case the city would be left in tho lurch. Eight hundred thousand dollars had been invested here to secure natural gal as a luxury. Ho had nothing to say against this expenditure, but it was the prime need in a great city to furnish means of employment to workingmen, and if half that amount had been used in bringing in free gas we might have 25,000 more contented and law-abiding workmen here. Col. I. N. Walker referred to the fact that notwithstandiug 2,500,000 had been taken from the tax duplicates of this city its people had always risen superior to their misfortunes, and now had an opportunity to retrieve their losses. AV. F. Christian wanted some of the Belt lino real estate owners to express their views as to land subscriptions, and asked some member I information as to tho amount of railroad subscription expected. G. R. Root said ho owned someland inside the Uelt, and would give one-tenth of it. As to tho other part of the inquiry he could, not speak definitely. There were a good many details yet to . bo perfected. All that could be hoped for. at this time was an expression from those who were naturally looked to to take the lead. Frank W. Flanner made an encouraging sncech, in which he referred to the success of the neighboring cities and several of the enterprises which this city had carried out successfully. The railroads would, doubtless, contribute their share, and the enterprise of citizens here ought to be sufficient to do the rest. Colonel Yeomans raised the question of the valuation of lands on which subscriptions were asked, and considerable discussion on that point -followed. Robert Martindale, speaking for tho committee, stated that the plan proposed contemplated a fair and equitable appraisement wherever differences of opinion existed. Justus C. Adams thought all such questions could be easily settled when they arose. He owned an interest in Belt lands, and was willing to subscribe under the conditions proposed. It was a question of now or never. John W. Ray spoke in a similar vein, and said ho was perfectly willing to give one-tenth of his small real estate possessions in tho locality referred to, and a cash contribution besides. It was announced that C. W. llrouse, Judge Roach. George Hitt, Dr. Waterman and other land-owners along the Belt, who were not present at the meeting, would likewise contribute under tno plan proposed. Other contributions were offered, conditioned on a satisfactory appraisement. W. F. Rupp suggested the appointment of a committee on appraisement. It was stated that such a committee had been appointed but was not present, and it was finally concluded to adjourn, pending the report of apian by such committee. On motion of Mr. Adams, tho general plan of tho executive committeo was indorsed and the movement approved, and the meeting adjourned subject to the call of such committee. Before leaving, it war, announced that tho general committee, at a meeting held at tho Board of Trade rooms yesterday afternoon, had districted tho city, and that the canvass for subscriptions would begin to-day. The Grand Arm j Encampment. The meeting of citizens at the Criminal Court-room last night, to take some steps toward securing for Indianapolis the meeting of the National Encampment of tho Grand Army of the Republic in lS'JO, was well attended. Representatives from tho Council, Board of Aldermen and many public-spirited citizens were present. The meeting was called to order by George Tanner, vice-president of the Board of Trade. Judge Martindale was selected as permanent chairman, and Mr. Tanner as secretary. The Council and Board of Trade, said tho secretary, in outlining the object to be considered, had passed resolutions expressing tho wish that the encampment of 1S00 should be held here, and it was desired that the citizens should join with the two bodies in an invitation. It remained with the citizens to say whether or not the encampment should bo invited

here. Before tho invitation could be formall extended to the. encampment at Milwaukee this year, it would be necessarv to raiso a guarantee fund of not less than 50 -000. He believed that with the proper effort Indianapolis could pledge that amount, and thus accomplish the object soueht. Assistant Adjutant-general Walker, of the Indiana department, spoke about the cost to entertain an encampment. The Grand Army, ho said, now embraced fortyone departments, with a total membership of four hundred and twenty thousand. Ono hundred and thirty-five thousand persons were at one depot in St. Louis during the week before the encampment began. St. Louis expended 25,000 in illuminating the streets of the city, but that expense need not bo incurred here. It was necessary to provide halls for camp fires, etc., and this city, with its many halls, would have no difficulty in that direction. The people of Columbus, O., where the encampment was held last year, raised 41,000. Of that amount 15,000 was expended for a dining hall. Indianapolis could also save that expense, because the Exposition Hall, at the fair grounds, would make a better hall for that purpose than the one in Columbus. Colonel Walker said it would bo necessary for tho citizens to raise not less than 40,000. The Indiana delegates to Columbus had been told that Indianapolis would have the encampment next year, and it was now for the citizens to say whether or not thev wanted it. The meeting would bring to the city 250,000 or 300,000 people, and be of great benefit to tho city. The question was, "Would Indianapolis raise the money and take the responsibility of entertaining tho people who would 01!' David F. Swain said the railroads at all points where the encampments had been held had contributed liberally. They would undoubtedly do so here, and ho expected to see them give not Jess than onethird of tho amount necessary to bo raised John B. Conner called attention to the fact that the money raised was not in reality a guarantee fund, but was money that would have to be actnally expended. Speaking again, Colonel Walker said the 50,000 would bring a return of not less than a half- million dollars. There was not a city in the Union that would not raise double the amount necessary to secure the encampment. He believed the encampment could be secured if tho proper inducements were offered. Isaac Thalman thought there was no doubt but that the citizens wanted the encampment. Ho believed the 50,000 could bo easily raised among citizens, railroads and hotels. The way to proceed was to appoint an executive committee to raiso the money. In closing his speech he moved that the meeting join, in the invitation for tho encampment to meet here, and that a committee of five be appointed, that committee to name an executive committee of twentv-five. Colonel Walker furnished the additional information that the railroads running into Columbus, O., donated 15,000 last year, and he thought the roads centering here ought to raise at least 25.000 or 30.000. Chairman Martindale said Indianapolis had fifteen railroads and fifteen hotels, and ho thought there would bo no difficulty in raising the money. The city would be a central and pleasant location for the encampment. Ho could see no reason why the city could not bo ready.to receive the old soldiers. Silas T. Bowen made a short but stirring speech in favor of what had been proposed. Ho said, as a business venture, there was no sacrifice in it. At Columbus there were 230,000 strangers in the city for three days. Thev spent at least 4 each, which would make 1,000,000 in cash they left in tho city. Not less than 250,000 of that amount was clear profit, or 50,000 for three days a net profit of 400 per cent. Could it bo possible that Indianapolis would allow the opportunity to make such an investment pass? There were remarks from other gentlemen, after which tho motion of Mr. Thalmau prevailed by a unanimous and rising vote. Chairman Martindalo then appointed the following gentlemen npon committees, whoso duty it will be to select tho executive committee of twenty-five: Isaac Thaiman, Col. I. N. Walker. Silas T. Bowen. D. B. Shideler and A. A. Barnes. Judge Martindale was also made ex-officio a member of tho committee, and will be its chairman. The Judge announced that the committeo would meet next Tuesday evening at tho New Denison House, and the meeting then adjourned.

SOME INFLUENTIAL IXDIAXIAXS. They Often Come to the City on Flying Visits, but Always Find Cordial Greeting. Emory B. Sellers, ex-United States district attorney, was registered at the Grand yesterday. Ho came to the city on business, and returned to his homo at Monticello last evening. While in the city he called at tho federal buildincr, and paid his respects to District Attorney Chambers. Mr. Sellers is no longer popular with the Indianapolis crowd of Democrats, because ho saw fit to do his duty fearlessly while in office, and since retiring has expressed his opinion of the work of Bailey in returning by wholesale indictments against innocent Republicans. He does not seem to regret that he has lost tho friendship of the Bailey gang, because he realizes that he has the confidence and respect of the better class of Democr ats in this city and throughout tho State. Mr. Sellcrs's ability as a lawyer is recognized throughout northern Indiana, and he enjoys a lucrative practice at Monticello. ' Ex-Secretary of State W. R. Myers, and tho defeated Democratic candidato for Lieutenant-governor, now of Anderson, entertained his friends who met him at tho Grand yesterday by relating the incidents of a trip ho has just made down into Tennessee. He spent nearly a month in tho State, investigating its resources and business advantages. His conclusion is that tho State has a wonderful future before it. He thinks it is a good place for a man with money to make money, and says capitalists, realizing that fact, are making large investments there. He was surprisca at the strong temperanco sentiment prevailing in the State.' The people there, he thinks, are much further advanced on tho temperance question than those of Indiana. They now have a local option law, which requires that when a town is granted a corporate charter, the people must decide by vote whether or not the licensing of saloons shall be permitted. Mr. Myers isays he is out of politics to stay. He is interested in business ventures with some Eastern capitalists, and finds business more satisfactory than politics. Charles B. Landis, editor of the Delphi Journal, was about the hotels yesterday greeting friends and acquaintances. He is one of tho youngest editors in Indiana, as well as one of the most successful connected with the county press. 1 or several 3'ears ho was with tho Logansport Journal, and about two years ago purchased the Journal at Delphi, lie has constantly improved tho paper until it ranks among the best county papers in the btate. lion. George A. Adams, of Martinsville, is at the New Denison. He represented iiorgan county in tno lower branch oi tno uenerai Assemuiv, ana was recognized as ono of the leaders of the Republican side. Ho was made a member of the committee on ways and means, and his ability was otherwise recognized by tho majority. He was ono of the few forcible speakers. He did not take the floor fre quently, but whenever he did he commanded attention from all, and his arguments were alwavs of a convincing diameter. His voice was heard against all the political bills of the majority, and ho was large ly instrumental m having tho investiga tion of tho Insane Hospital set on foot. Ho is not surprised that so many of the laws enacted are proving defective, from the fact that the Democratic members devoted practically all their time and attention to political legislation. Out on Tarole. Governor Hove-, yesterday, released on parole Harry Foreman, of Crawfordsville, who was sent to the penitentiary for an assault on an officer who was endeavoring to arrest him for drunkenness. Foreman had borne a cood character previous to tho trouble which led to his sentence, and his release was petitioned for generally by resi dents at his former home. Taken Away by Thieves. Thieves succeeded in getting away with anew spring-wagon, yesterday morning, from tho stablo of Thomas Flake, No. 120 Hoyt avenue. The grocery store of I. A. Hughes on Pendleton pike, was robbed, tho thieves carrying off&lO worth of provisions and tobacco.

Catarrhal Dangers. To be freed from the dangers of suffocation while lying down; to breathe freely, Bleep soundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear, brain active and free from pain or ache; to know that no poisonous, putrid matter defiles tho breath and rots away the delicate machinery of smell, taste and hearing; to feel that the system docs not, through its veins and arteries, suck up the poison that Is sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed a blessing beyond all other human enjoyments. To purchase immunity from such a fate should be the object of all afflicted. But those who have tried many remedies and physicians despair of relief or cure.

Carley, Brooklyn, N. . "From an experience of over thirty years in the safo of proprietary medicines, I feel justified in recommending Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.

Our family physician, a skilful man and of large experience, pronounced it useless to give her any more medicine ; saying that he had done all it was possible to do, and we must prepare for the worst. As a last resort, we determined to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and I can truly sav, with the most happy results. After taking a few doses she seemed to breathe easier, and, within a week' waa out of danger. We continued giving tho Pectoral until satisfied she was entirely well.
