They Will Continue to Do Business in the State Pending a Supreme Court Decision. The dresscd-beef companies of Chicago and St. Louis, doing business in this State, propose te continue operations as though the Legislature had not enacted a law prohibiting the sale of fresh meat, unless the animals had first been inspected alive within the county where the meat was offered for sale. They think there is no doubt about the unconstitutionality of the act. and the opinion of Judge Johnston, of Forter county, has given them encouragement in the course they are to follow. The law was brought before that jndge by the arrest, at Hammond, of James B. Harvey, agent of Swift &. Co. He was charged with selling, in the place named, dressed beef slaughtered in Chicago. The judge held that the act was unconstitut ional because it attempted to in tcrfero with interstate commerce. In doing so it contravened that provision of the Constitution which says that Congress shall have power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States. He held that dressed fresh beef was an article of interstate commerce because it moved as an articlo of trade from one State to another. The branch establishment of the St. Louis Dressed-beef Company in this city, is still doing business, and if interfered with will submit the question of the constitutionality of the act to the courts. No steps will be taken to enforce the law here until county and city meat inspectors are appointed in accordance with the provisions of the law. The local butchers, who would be greatly benefited by the enforcement of the act, are urging that immediate steps bo taken to compel the foreign companies to obey it. Last Call for Bids. Tho school-book commissioners of the State will meet in the rooms of the Superintendent of Fublic Instruction at 10 o'clock this morning, to open the second Installment of bids to furnish text-books for the common schools under the new law. The members of the commission hope that some bids in com nl i an co with the law will be submitted, but thev havohad no intimation that there will beany. In case none are received the law will have to be pronounced a failure, and no additional ell'ort to receive bids will be made. Swine Affected by Hydrophobia. A gentleman living near Brownshnrg, Hendricks county, who was in the city yesterday, stated that the swine owned by several farmers north of that place are affected by hydrophobia. Two weeks ago a mad dog in that neighborhood bit several hogs. To prevent the spread of the disease one. farmer killed twenty hogs and another fifteen, all of which had been bitten.

TALKING TO THEIR PEOPLE

Dedicatory Services at the SeventhStreet Methodist Episcopal Church. Sermons ly Doctors Cranston and Craft Mr. Mitchell Gives His Opinion of Base-Ball Dr. Haines's Topic A Lady Praised. The dedicatory services of the Seventhstreet M. E. Church Kev. P. S. Tincher, pastor which began on last Monday, closed yesterday, with the sermon of the morning by Rev. Dr. Karl Cranston, of Cincinnati, and that of the evening by Rev. Dr. Frost Craft, of Lafayette. Dr. Cranston took ns his text Luke, xiv, 20: "This man began to build, aud was not able to finish' aud also Christ's words on the cross: 'It is finished." He pictured a child in tho cradle sleeping, and as a companion picture the' eatne child come to manhood, marked and seared by dissipation, and goiug out as a wreck a horriblo ending for such a beginning. What was seen in tho cradlo was not the beginning, he said. Tho beginning in animal and iu vegetable- organisms is unattractive, if not repcllant The most beautiful structure in this city began by a downward series of operations digging into the ground that it might rise on sure foundations toward the sky. A half-true reason is not a reason; a half-built house is not a house. There are many to whom tho plan of salvation has como without commending itself to their Judgment, because they have failed to apply tlte original test. Comparo tho worship of Abel with that of Cain, tho one accepted the other rejected. The sacrifice made by Abel which brought him before tho Creator as a penitent, is considered by some repugnant; repugnant that (iod should require the shedding of blood. They do not look upon its symbolism; they do not consider this element of sacrifice by which at last tho great love of tiod was to be illustrated to men as never before when it found expression in the crucifixion of Uod's only begotten Son. It is this, continued the Doctor, that saves the divine character from the chaigo of autocracy and brings Uod nearer to men. Wo must have the whole thought or we cannot understand it. There is no strength in the arch until the keystone is in place. After all that Christ has done, afterallth.it God has done, looking through the work of man's salvation, how little of excuse and how much of reproach nre in the declaration as to preparation for spiritual elevation and spiritual reconstruction that one has failed: that he has begun to build and has not finished. God had made all history contributory to the building up of Tight, the molding of right character in every individual to whom this gospel is proclaimed. One can trace tho relation between conduct aud its happiness or the opposite, and learn in that way what others have learned from their own experience. We stand building not only for time but for eternity. Out of every defeat in the past God gives a warning to avoid defeat; out of every victory He gives an inspiration to vietory. He has declared this is the way in which we should walk, and this is the way we ouerht to avoid. How many look at the beginning of the Christian life as unattractive, and from cowardice or neglect fail to go forward. We have met God, wo have heard His warnings, wo have accepted His promises, but accepted or not, we have had tho beginnings of this spiritual work in us. We have excavated and begun to build, said the Doctor. An excavation where the work ceased when the workmen had just begun to build is made the deposit for tho oft'al of the entire neighborhood. "I tell you," he continued, "the man iuto whoso heart the truth has come, and tho excavation has been made, if he fails to go on, his spirit becomes the receptacle for a great many things for which Satan has no use. Rather than have the abandoned foundation I would, as an emblem of my life, have the superstructure carried up half way to completion as a declaration that I had done something. I would rather have it said of me that 1 had been a true Christian for one day than that I had been recrcat to cv-ry opportunity for a lifetime. I would rather begin, if I had never finished, than not to begin. And how foolish it is for a man to undertake to defend himself, surrounded as he is by so many evidences of the divine, favor. My children, my neighbors, the Nation has a right to expect something of ine. Tho church has a right to expect something of me. God has placed the obligation upon me. I shall go about my duty. Some say Jesus Christ was a good man. Ho could not have been a good man; He knew He was God, Ho acted as God. Ho could not have been a good man had He been only a man when ho said to the thief on the cross, 'This dav shalt thou be with mo in paradise,' and deceived that poor man. No, Ho knew He was God, and relieved a man in the extremity of death. When Christ had redeemed his world by an act gre ater than the creation he simply said, lt is finished.' No other being could so concentrate a proclamation. The work of human redemption is accomplished. 'Into thy hands I commend my spirit Ho yieldj up the ghost; it is finished.'" The pastor, in announcing that Dr. Craft would preach in the evening, said that gentleman was the second pastor of the Seventh-street Church at the time when it was beyond the railroad tracks, and in a locality that was familiarly known as "Ragweed1 He said that it had grown out of the ragweed, aud is going onward. It was aunouncedby Dr. Cranston that tho entire debt on the church had been subscribed previous to the dedication, and after the collection of the day, he said that the expenses of the week $50 had been met, with a surplus of $10 in the church treasury. The present church edifice was erected six years ago. The location has proven to be an excellent one, as it is in a rapidlygrowing part of the city, and its membership is constantly increasing, while the Sunday-school is correspondingly large. The dedicatory services wero short, consisting chiefly of a brief responsive reading, with an admonition from Dr. Cranston as to duties of members. In the evening Dr. Craft preached, taking as his text Matthew ix, 3o: "But when lie saw the multitudes he was moved with compassion on them, becanse they fainted and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd." The audiences at both the morning and evening services were gratifyingly large. The church was profusely ornamented with plants and flowers, the pulpit being almost covered by them. The Talue of Example. The services at the Pifth Presbyterian Church, corner of Blackford and Michigan streets, wero shortened as much as possible last night, owing to tho oppressive heat, which was intensified within tho building by the radiation from the gas chandeliers. Rev. George G. Mitchell, the pastor, had chosen "Stumbling-blocks" as his theme, and as a Scripture lesson he read I Corinthians, viii, 4-13. For his text he chose Isaiah lvii, 13: "And shall say, cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, tajce up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people." Tho truth that is here taught,-the preacher said, is the removal of obstacles from the path of those who trust God. The language is as if an exile was returning, and persons wero preceding him with the words, "cast up," or as if a prince or conqueror was coming back to his people. It is a matter of historical fact that on entering Jerusalem from the west tho road is full of stony places, and these obstacles must often be removed before effective progress can be made. When the pasha approached the town laborers went before him to clear a path, and criers saluted the people with the words: Tht pasha is coming! Clear the stones!" So in these instructions, the preacher continued, God asks us to remove tne stones from the path of salvation, lest they prove a stumbling to others who may be less sure of foothold. And these stumbling-blocks arc many. A person may not hims?lf be a stumbling-block, but somethimg about him may be. That is the thing to be removed, for people are apt to fall over a very trilling thing. Paul's teaching on this subject was correct, for when tho Corinthians came to him with the question of eating meat offered to idols they were divided. Some thought it would countenance idolworship, while others considered the idol as really playing no part. Paul answered by saying that although the mero act of eating might not prove harmful to self, it miirht lead others into idolatrv. The safe

I principle for wen to follow is that they aio

not at liberty to do anything, althonzh richt in itself, which may lead others astray. Ho who adopts this rule and-follows it through life is safe. It seks the good of ull and makes personal comfort and self justification subservient to the good of others. A man becomes, it was held, a stumblingblock when ho willfully rejects tho gosp?l, 1 for he kuows that he is not doing right and that his own soul is in dauger. He keeps his family and friends away from God, which is one of the worst curses that can fall upon hint. The power of example cannot be estimated, especially among those who occupy stations of importance parent, minister or teacher. Even in things that are in themselves harmless, they give an opportunity of setting an example of denial, plainness and self-abatinenco for the sake of those whoso appetites may bo governed thereby. Such was the life of Christ. "liar," continued tho pastor, "we are not all- constituted alike, for one may be Bale where another is in danger. One mav be able to resist temptations which would overcome anotlier. A man of years can often safely livo and act where a young man would bo ruined. This is especially- true concerning tho popular amusements to-day. Take, for instance, the game of base-ball. I know that ministers attend these games; indeed. I am told that some of our city pastors go ah ost every daj. I have askeu myself Why don't you go!' Hut I cannot conscientiously go; for while I know it would du me no harm, some littlo boy is thcrowho should save his money, and probably he has learned to smoke and swear and waste his time at the park. He sees me and says: There is Rev. Mr. Mitchell; he is here, and 1 am 6afe I do not feel that the question with me is whether or not I am safe, but whether

the boy is safe. Sunday' base-ball, too, is a violation of tho Sabbath, as are Sunday picnics, balls and excursions. This princi-

le will hold good, not only with base-ball, ut with the theater, cards aud tho wine cup. Even supposing that these enjoyments are in themselves lawful, others are led by our example to an improper uso of them, and end in ruin." In conclusion, extravagance was considered brietly as comprising one of tho greatest stumbling-blocks in the way of men today. Society, it was thought, is dc" oj'iug many young persons. A young man, who is getting n salary, must dress as well as his companions, smoke as costly' cigars, give as expensive extertainmeuts, and live in as fashionable a quarter of the city. If ho lacks money, ho borrows; if ho cannot borrow, ho steals. Borrowing for necessities is legitimate, but boi rowing for luxuries is a crime. Tho services were closed after a duetrenderod by Miss Anna C. Mitchell and Chester Reed. Christianity an Historic Fact. Rev. Dr. M. L. Haines preached at the Firsts Presbyterian Church, last night, on "Unbelief, a Cause of Wonder," taking as his text Mark v. C: "And he marveled because of their unbelief." He said there were two things, and only two, that Christ is said to have marveled at when on earth. The first was tho fatth of tho Roman soldier, the centurion of Capernaum, and tho second was the unbelief of the people of Nazareth. After He had preached and worked miracles in Capernaum Ho decided to pay a visit to Nazareth, His boyhood homo. Tho fame of His mighty works preceded Him: His sisters were still living there, and many of His former companions. He came iuto the synagogue of the little town and spoke with such profound wisdom that the people were amazed, but their minds wero so 'prejudiced by the thought of His lowly birth and His occupation as a humble craftsman that they were stirred with envy at His manifest superiority, and were unwilling to consider fairly His claims to be the divinely piedicted Messiah. Tho men of Nazareth are yet living, said the Doctor. They are persons who do not belice in Jesus Christ and His gospel, but whose unbelief rests not upon reason, but upon mistaken notions ana unjust prejudice. There may be sympathy with heartfelt, earnest doubt, but he who remains in a state of unbelief in the face of the great facts of revelation and of history c?not sincerely say that this is so solely from tho want of sufficient evideuce. Christianity does not require belief without evidence, but it does require that its evidence shall be treated fairly. Unbelief may bo largely negative. It may arise from a want of knowledge. But for that lack a man may be responsible, for ho may have kept his eyes shut in tho presence of tho facts. Christianity is here. It is not a theory, but a great historic fact. It must be accounted for in some way. Deuials arc not enough. The gospel of the "Everlasting No" is not sufficient. Willful blindness to tho great shining verities of Christianity is criminal. It is the evidence of a bad .heart as well as of a weak mind. It is a just cause of wonder; it is inexcusable folly. "We hear of the difficulties of faith." the Doctor continued. "Are not the difficulties of disbelief tenfold greater! What does a man gain by rejecting this ancient gospel that has uplifted the civilizations of the great nations of the earth and made tho lands that have received it to bud and blossom as the rose? Something muRt be true. Has the world ever yet offered anything so satisfactory to the mind, the heart, and tho conscience of sinning, suffering humanity as this blessed gospel of Christ? Christianity explains more things, answers more questions and gives more certainty to the troubled mind than any theory of man. "Theodore Cuyler stood up before 7.000 E eople in tho city of London, and said, I rirnr von Christ. Follow Him twentvfour hours, and I defy you to lay your head on your pillow as a skeptic. Such an obedience to Jesus Christ would kill all tho infidelity in Britain and America. The deepest reasons for belief are not found in the outward evidences of the miracles, and the prophecies, and the facts of history. They are found in the heart's realization of its spiritual needs, and its experience through faith of how those hungenngs and thirstings. are met, and only met by Jesus Christ, the bread which came down from heaven, the water of everlasting life." Miss Anderson Complimented. Miss Ida E. Anderson, recently elected snperintendent of primary classes under the Indiana State Sunday-school Union, severed her relation, yesterday afternoon, with the primary 'class of Central-avenue Church, purposing to begin at once the duties of her office. At tho closo of the school Captaiu Ritter offered the following minute, which, after remarks by Mr. J. B. Conner and others, wasadoptedby a standing vote: The election of Ida E. Anderson, the teacher of our primary department, by the State Sundayschool Union, for a prominent position in that society, ought not to pass without some expression from us, for whom she has rendered such faithful and distinguished service. We hare seen her pass from early childhood through all the grades of our school to the place which she now vacates, never seekiug any prominence, but accepting with becoming modesty every call of her associate; fhe has discharged her duties with marked ndelity, ni hep ability has biouUt her at last to a position of distinction in the line of her social work, and in the front rank among a preat army of workers. We regret her separation from us, but we rejoice In the privilege of presenting to the ceneral church one whose gentleness and rare gifts make her a tit representative of true womanhood. Our prayers are that God rjay bless her and increase her usefulness in this new Held. Miss Anderson will devoto a large part of July and August to the work iu this city. measures in the piimary union next Sep tember. All this win be preliminary to those movements which are proposed for the State at large, constituting a part of the new system of teacher-training which, during the past year, has attracted so much attention. llxercises for the Children. Children's day was observed at Meridianstreet Church yesterday morning, tho programme consisting of responsive readings and songs. Every seat in the auditorium was taken, and at the ringing of the second bell chairs were already filling the aisles, and people being directed by the ushers to the galleries. A printed exercise, which had been freely distributed, formed tho opening service, tho Sabbath-school and superintendent participating. Then followed a quartet entitled "I Lay My Sins on Jesus." Rev. H. A. Cleveland addressed the children on the text found in Matthew xviii. 2: "Aud Jesus called a little child unto him.and set him in the midst of them." His remarks were of a practical character, lirst reviewing the Christian fitory as a bit of history, and then

In conclusion the pastor addressed parents and adults, as to their relation and duties to the young. After a choral selection by the school. Dr. Clevelaudadministered the ordinance of baptism to four children, christened as follows: Robert Lewis Stevenson, aud Helen Eunice, Edward Butler and Robert Horace Bennett. Miss Sadie Walker rendered a solo, "I Think, when I Read that Swet Story of Old' aud with an offertory by the children to tho educational interests of the Methodist Church, the services came to an end. Gonpel Temperance Meeting. The Military Park gospel temperance meeting yesterday afternoon was well attended. Addresses were made by Rev. J. P. Woodru 11. pastor of Ames M. E. Churcb, and others. Next Sunday Col. John W. Ray. president of tho Bank of Commerce, will speak. THE COMING CAMPAIGN.

Democratic Nominations Will Xo Doubt Be Made at the Dictation of Coy and His (Jam:. The city election will not occur for four months yet, but there is already a good deal of political gossip afloat. Neither of the parties have, in a fonnal way, begun to make preparations for the coming contest, but individuals and coteries in each have been studying the situation for some time, and lixed slates to suit their own desires. It is probable that tho conventions will not be called before the latter part of August or tho first of September, as there seems to bo a general desire that the campaign be made as short as possible. There is a prevailing sentiment iu tho Republican party that the best men to be found must bo put on the ticket, from top to bottom. The indications are that politics will not figure largely in the contest, and that the party that pntsforward thebest men will be successful. Up to this time nothing has transpired to show that tho ticket the Democrats will nominate will be any more worthy of support than th'o tho party has nominated in the past. It is a foregone conclusion that the liberal or saloon element will control the convention, and the issues involved in the contest will bo like those of two years ago, when Mayor Denny was reelected by a large majority. Ihe saloon.keepers have for years been struggling to 'get control of the city government, and they hope, this year, through imaginary, disaffections in tho Republican ranks, to come into power with an easy swing. Their agents have for weeks been quietly at work in every ward in the city, and if the Democratic convention was to be held tomorrow they would control it without a struggle. The candidate for Mayor with liberal views in regslrd to tho liquor traflic is said to be Judge Pierce Norton, and if he is not nominated it will be because the conservative element of the party will have more strength than they have e vershown before at the primaries. The Judge has been a favorite of the extreme liberals for some time, and it was with a hip aud a hurrah in his favor that they attempted to defeat Major Mitchell lor prosecutor. They did not approve of Major Mitchell's prosecution of saloon-keepers in Judge lxvin's court. Judge Norton will not receive tho support, in convention, of the conservative element of his party, but the probabilities are that, as in tne past, that element will not be strong enough to do more than enter a protest to the convention's work. It must be remembered that Sim Coy is with tho boys again, and they, with him at the head, will name the nominee this time. Coy is still in the saloon business, and any candidate who is not pledged to protect the liquor traffic will not receive his support in convention; and Judge Norton is said to bo the candidate, and the littlo boss seeing that tho "workers" in each ward are getting on the right track. As a sort of an alternate candidate of this so-called liberal element, Albert Kahm is down on one corner of the slate. He has repeatedly said that ho would hotrun for Mayor for love or money, but many people are figuring upon him as a kind of compromise between tho radical saloon-keepers and the straight-laced Democrats. There is a baro possibility of his being pushed forward. While not so liberal in his views, perhaps, as Judge Norton, ho would suit that element very well, in case thev cannot force the nomination of Norton. There is another faction urging Judge Sullivan as the candidate, but it will lie doomed to disappointment. In the first place, it is not possible, say his friends, that Judge Sullivan could secure the nomination, if he would take it, unless he wonld consent to recognize the demands of tho saloon-keepers. In the second place, he says, with decision, that ho won't under any circumstances take the nomination. In this determination ho is acting upon the advice of his best friends. He is in training for one of the Superior iudgeships, and he realizes that, even if ho was elected Mayor, it would be a backward rather than a forward step for him. It is therefore safe to consider him an unknown quantity in the convention light. Dr. Edenharter, who has moved back into the city, would like for some one to support him for the office again, but as yet no ono has stepped forward to champion his running qualities. There are quite a number of persons who would like to get the nomination for clerk on tho Democratic ticket, but no one of tbem has yet shown any distinctive strength. As to councilmenand aldermen, the indications are that the Democratic 'nominations will be on a par with those of former years. Several of the present members will be renominated, although there will be considerable opposition to them. Sim Coy will, of course, be favored with another nomination in tho Eighteenth ward. Ho has spent a good deal of his time since he returned from prison in canvassing tho situation, and he says he will bo returned to the Council by a larger majority than ever before. The Republicans are more determined this year than ever before to present a ticket that will represent in every sense the best element in Indianapolis. For Mayor there are several gentlemen spoken of, any one of whom would conimr.nd a majority of the votes in the city. Among those mentioned are Col. C. H. Millard, Gen. Foster, Thomas Chandler, Edward Dean, Judge Martiudale and several others. The indication are that it is to be a year when the nomination will seek the man, and not the man the nomination. For city clerk there are several candidates already aunounced, among them Al Tafl'e.who has faithfully served eighteen years as turnkey at the station-house, and John W. Bowlus, the incumbent. In every ward there is a movement looking to the nomination of councilmen who will inanage tho affairs of tho city in a manner above criticism. THE NATION'S ANNIVERSARY. Preparations for the Industrial Parade Being Actively Pushed Forward. The Board of Trade committee having in charge the industrial feature of the parade on tho Fourth met Saturday evening, in Wm. Scott fc Coa office, in tho Board of Trade Building. Messrs. Gall, Holton and Scott, of the committee, saw there the representatives of thejlabor unions, aud. together with Adjutant-general Ruckle, made further arrangements toward tho parade. The line of march will be announced iu tomorrow morning's papers. The organizations on foot will pass over the liifo as far ns University Park, where they will halt, in order to have full opportunity to see the industrial parade, which will pass them at that point. George G. Tanner, president of the Board of Trade, iu behalf of that organization, has extended an invitation to all military companies to take part in tho procession. It was again urged that every manufacturer or tradesman who intends being represented should send in his name to Albert Gall by to-morrow, in order that be may be classified and given his proper place in the line.

Another meeting will be held by the committee tonight. Pyrotechnics for the Fourth. Reports from wholesalers In Fourth of July pyrotechnics indicate that the rapidly approachiug birthday of the Nation's independence will bring ont tho nsnal amount of villainous gunpowder with all the attending racket. On account of special arrangements made with liro insurance companies, the largest dealers here do not open their retail stock and display it in all its amazing variety until July 1. They then sell from that time up to the Fourth under a permit from the insurance companies without vitiating their insurance. The city ordinance regarding tireworks does not have a tendency to encourage sales, but as the small boys will celebrate somebody must furnish the material, and the dealers endeavor to accomodate the small boy, though the ordinanco made and provided is fractured a littlo thereby. It is another phase of the great fact that prohibition doesn't prohibit. So on the coming Fourth Romau candles will describe beautiful parabolas, as heretofore. Mines will belch forth their varied fires, and rockets will sizzle and swish as they scoot through the empyrean and minglo with the constellations. Fire crackers are in all sizes aud iu all keys from the gentle pop of the baby cracker, which is less than an inch long and no thicker than a match, to the monster as thick as one's wrist aud ten inches long, with its deep and direful thunder. There aro meteoric balloons, prismatic fountains and Bengal lights. Among the novelties is a Chinese bomb wrapped in rattan, which would delight the soul of a boy, as the discharge of one of these would be sufficient to break every eardrum within a square of the point of explosion. The Japanese daylight tire-works are, perhaps, the most beautiful and artistic. Ibey aro figure pieces, consisting of animals, fish, caricatures, etc. These are thrown from ;k mortar, and are shot to tho height of a fivestory building, from which altitude they sa.il away to the admiration of all beholders. The least dangerous, perhaps, aud certainly among the most attractive to small boys, are paper balloons, which come in several sizes and are comparatively inexpensive. . Tho New Deuison House Well. The well Judge Martindalo is sinking in the New ' Denson House court, with tho hope of finding artesian water, has reached a depth of over 800 feet. As yet there is no indication of a medicinal water, but tho Judge will continue tho work, believing that water of that kind will bo found. Stmuf Hats! Straw lint!
