WORSHIPERS IN ME CAMPS

Yesterday's Impressive and Instructive Bcnriccs at Bethany and Acton, Features Offered for Future Programmes Huch Interest Manifested in the Meetings and 3Iany Conversions Reported. Yestrdaj -was Christian Educational day at Bethany Park. The number of visitors is being augmented by fresh arrivals and Tvith the beginning of the new week the session will have begun in earnest. The weather is delightful, in fact, a more favorable time could not have been chosen by the management foran assembly period. The day's work was begun by a G:SO a, m. prayer-meeting, led by .IJev. I. D. Kidgeway, of Winaraac, in the C. W. B. M. cottage. Despite the rather early hour for hotel inmates and campcrs-ont, the audience was much better than on tho morning before. These prayer-meetings continue to grow in interest, and many take preat pleasure in them. The hours seem to favor devotion. The chief work of tho day was a discussion on the best means by which competent young men may be picked out and induced to enter upon ministerial work. Re v.J. H.Q. Smith.of Valparaiso.delivcred the principal address of the morning, and made some remarks that drew forth quite a discussion afterward. lie said that what is needed in the ministry is men to use the means already at hand. All kinds of talents ought to be consecrated to God. "We are entering upon a career of intense Christian activity," he continued, "and every department of life feels strongly the influence of the pulpit, borne changes in the ministry, such as too great regard for iimple rhetorical e fleet, is of doubtful tendency. The 6ermon must be a message from God to man, and the minister must be a messenger bearing thi3 message. A successful preacher must bo enthusiastic, and have a highly-trained intellect and a sub-, missive disposition. It is necessary that he should be in every way a retined and perfectly developed gentleman, "The best way to train men as preachers is to send them to convert their fellows. The apostles of Christ were thoroughly devotee to their work and their success demonstrated what God will do for men now, if they aro as well converted as were the apostles. A minister must also be thoroughly practical and well acquainted with the world at large. Heart culture, so much needed, is to bo received not simply from the" school, but in various ways, from father, mother and friends. And it must come from close communication with G6d's word. Many a young man has entered the ministry because the training given him by his parents made it simply, impossible for him to do otherwise. Some such children are consecrated to the ministry from the very beginning of their lives. In these days it is only after the most careful training that a man can enter the ministry. The preacher; too, must regard the simplest text in the Bible as a direct, important message from God." I repeat it, our minisheart and mind." t . The discussion was ably continued by the Kev. D. It. Lucas and Professor Loos, of Kentucky University. The venerable Professor Loos greatly entertained his hearers on this subject, as his remarks were suggested by long years of experience in dealing with young men who were preparing to noon the same discussion was continued, with very interesting results. Last night a very tine concert was given by members of the Tabernacle choir of Columbus. Today will be assembly day, the morning service being a G:30 o'clock prayer-meeting, and afterwards Sunday-school, led by A. 11. Morris. a uu iv.ow ociiuuu v iix uo urit v ex cu u v x iui. Loos.

Service at Camp Acton. ' The meetings at Camp Acton during yesterday were all well attended, and an unusual amount of religious interest manifested, resulting in several conversions. The early morning prayer meeting was conducted by 'Iter. E. A. Campbell, of Aurora, who gave all who desired an opportunity to speak, and many responded with their personal experiences and words of exhortation to the unconverted. At 8 o'clock a special service was held, with Kev. A. A. Jones in charge, and at 10 o'clock Kev. J. 8. Hitler preached. Both services were of a high and instructive character, and well attended. At 2:30 o'clock in the atternoon llev. J. II. Ford, of this city, preached, and I. W. Potter conducted evangelistic services at nlcht.

Dr. Ponnan Experiments on a Fatieut Who ft t Once Shows Great Improvement. Dr. D. P. Punuan is experimenting with Dr. Urown-Sequard's recent discovery of 'the elixir of life," which has been brought to the notice of the profession in this coun try through a very startling paper by Dr. "William A. Hammond, who has also made & number of experiments with tho alleged elixir. This remedy for the renewal of youth is an extract from portions of lamb. and is used in the form of a hypodermic in jection. Dr. Purman is experimenting vAn TV PI .. 1- X' 1 V 1 vJ .Jersey street, only fifty years old. but greatly debilitated, suffering irom rueumaiism ana disease con tractcd , dunug the war. This elixir mg. was immediately alterward, to tho amount of a dram and a half, injected into Mr. Clark's arm. Four hours afterward tlie paiieni wanted down town and climbed up two flights of ' stairs without stopping. He declared that it had heretofore taken him an hour to get down town, but that with the aid of the elixir he had accomplished the wulk in twenty-tive minutes. He remarked that he had not felt so well for tweuty-tive vcars, and seemed to have a new vi tali ty, being Sble to lift his feet as be walked and not rap: them as has been his custom, and that It was no trouble to hold his head up. In addition to this, he aftirms that his eyesight Is clearer, and that he could now read a newspaper without tho aid of spectacles, something he had not been able to do before. m i m ' Prices for Fancy Cattle. The cattle-dealers at the stockyards havo fancy stock at Chicago. Prices here have, with tts exception of those ottered by one or two firms, ruled lower than the Chicago market, but the influence of tie eBterpnsinj? dealers has strengthened the local market materially for tho class of cattle- named. It. II. fbiei yoterdny boaht twocar-loHdstof fancy at $.53, a price that comes ui to the Chicago offerings. Iheie is a promise of Indianapolis becoming a strong iuarket lor fancy stock. A DlspuUt Lead to Shooting. John Duffy, o driver for the Indianapolis Ice Company, and (Jeorg;e MrCutcheon became in- ' volred In a quarrel ou a Virginia-avenue street cxlst Blht and ali'kUd near Alabama street

to settle the difficulty. Iioth were Intoxicated, and in the dispute McCutcheon fired a revolver at Duffy, tho ball striking the head from the rear and glancing off directly in front. Both men were arrested and taken to the police station, where Dr. Hodges examined Duffy's wound. He pronounced It not of a dangerous character, as only the flesh had been cut. Duffy was taken home and McCutcheon was held to await a preliminary trial to-morrow morning.

TRIED TO KILL HER. A Lady While Asleep Attacked by a Man Who Drew a Eazor Across Her Throat. Mrs. Mary Smith, residing at No. 72 Davidson street, was the victim of a would-be murderer about 3 o'clock yesterday morning. She lives in the place with an only son, aud had retired early in the evening on the lower floorof the b.ouse, while Mr. Smith went to bed npstairs. She was awakened at the hour mentioned by a peculiar sensation on her neck. Before she could cry for help a razor was quickly draw across her throat, leaving a small gash and cutting her hand, which she threw up. In the same instant she saw an unknown man spring from her bedside and out the window. Her cries for assistance brought her son to her side, who sent for Dr. Pantzer. The cut on Mrs. Mrs. Smith's throat was about two inches long and over the jugular vein. The physician dressed tho wound, and yesterday morninc his patient was reported quiet and in a fair way to recover. The cause for the attack is not known. It is 8id by Mrs. Smith, however, that the man had ellectcd an entrance into the house for tho purpose of stealing, but that on seeing her make some motion in her sleep, which ho mistook for an indication that his presence was discovered, he concluded the oest way to quiet her woald be to cut her throat. A light was burning in her room, and an entrance had been gained through the window. The case was put into the hands of detective Splann, yesterday, who will make a thorough investigation. Positive clews; however, are very scarce. Mrs. Smith herself told the officers 3resterday that she believed the assault upon herself had only been prompted by a desire to further a plan of robbery. Regardless of this opinion, however, the detectives are inclined to accept other theories. Several years ago Hugh McDonald was wanted by the police for grand larcenv, and he was found in Mrs. Smith's house at breakfast with her son. McDonald was found guilty in .-the courts and sent to the penitentiary on a seven years' sentence, which he is now serving. During the trial Mrs. Smith's testimony did much to prevent a verdict of acquittal. Later on, it is said, one McDermed was arrested, for stealing wheat and sent up on a two-years' sentence, partially through Mrs. Smith's testimony on the witness-stand. These facts, coupled with others, which the detectives do not care to tell at present, have caused them to at least work on a clew that will probably lead to the arrest of some criminal who has attempted to take Mrs. Smith's life, either out of revenge for himself or some of his confederates. BECKTOLD'S SCHOOL-BOOKS. Trustees Ordering Small Supples, to Which the Bowen-Mcrrill Company Objects. Requisitions for school-books under the new law were received yesterday by the Superintendent of Public Instruction from "Wayne, Posey, Daviess and White counties. All the orders were small, and the BowonMerrill Campany, which is furnishing the copy-books, objects to the request made by the Indiana School-book Company that the orders at first sent in be limited. The Bowen-Merrill Company asserts that it is ready to till them of any size, but that to bo restricted to small amounts means an expense in shipments that cannot be afforded, because the profit on its class of books is exceedingly small. The School Commissioners of this city have conferred in regard to procuring text-books under tho new law, but no official action has been taken. It is understood that one member, John B. Conner, expressed the opinion that the board should not be too'hasty to adopt these books without first determining their fitness, holding that Indianapolis, with its high-grade schools, cannot attord to be saddled with inferior books. Tho matter of contracts was also referred to, as was the likelihood of suits that might follow a failure on the part of the school authorities to carry out their part of contracts heretofore made with publishing houses. Superintendent Jones and the text-book committee were authorized to confer with the Indiana School-book Company as to the chapces of receiving; a supply of books at the beginning of the coming school year. It was suggested that only sufficient books be purchased to supEly pupils who would be obliged to uy new books in September, and that other scholars continue with their old books until they are through with them, which will be in February. The wholo matter will come up at a meeting to-morrow night of the committee on text-books and supplies. WORK OX THE 3IOXU2IENT. Getting Ready for the Laying of the Cornerstone, Which Will Be in the Fifth Course. Hardly a day passes without numerous letters being received making inquiry as to the laying of the corner-stouo of the soldiers' monument. Many of these como from Kansas, Colorado, Iowa and Nebraska, with now and then one from Dakota and Texas the soldiers of Indiana. In the Circle the workmen are busily engaged getting things ready for the great event. There is already stone enough upon tho ground to carry the monument up to a height of sixty feet, but it will not bo used until after tho corner-stone at the northwest -corner is laid. This stone will be twenty-two feet above the ground line. There are thirty men now at work, and tho improved machinery used iu laying the huge blocks is more than equivaleut to the labor of twenty men with ordinary appliances. One course has been laid above the foundation, and part of tho second. Tho blocks are so large that fivo courses will bring the base up to the cornerstone. An inscription is to he cut on the cornerstone, but the exact wording has not been determined upon; probably something to the effect that This monument was erected by tho State, the Grand Arm3' of the Repubulic and citizens of Indiana." The outside course, the face of which will be finished, to cover the rough stones will not he laid until the monument is carried up to the cornice, except in the case of the corner-stone, which will be set in place finished. This vono will weigh, when dressed, ten tons. Sent from the ouarries it weighed nearlv two tons more, nearly all the blocks nhipped being iwo incnes larger an ruunu man wnen uswd. This is done to allow for chipping in handling. There are stones in the monument weighing eighteen tons. Religious Notes. . Kev. T. A. Goodwin will preach at the Tabernacle Church this forenoon. Rev.

THE UX10N STATION P0LICEMA3:

His Experience with All Kinds of PeopleA Lady Who Made an Officer's Heart Glad. Ell Thompson, formerly chief of police. and a member of the Union Station force, was asked by the reporter if the lot of a Union Station officer was a happy one. Not altogether," was the reply. "Vet the very class of people I expected to be trou blesome seldom give us any bother at all. I thought my knowledge of the criminal classes and their ways would be of gTeat benefit to me in this place. It is a little, but very much less than I expected. The traveling class is altogether a different lot of people. Yon have no idea of the variety of questions that aro asked, and every in quirer expects a ready and correct answer. UI course, a depot policeman is required to know all about every one of the 136 trains that arrive and depart here daily, to say nothing of the specials, wnicn at times are very numerous. In addition to this he is expected to be able to answer any question in sanitary scicuce, botanv. architecture, phrenolocv. aerosta tion, psychology, religion and fresh and sait-water navigation, ii anytmng uas been omitted from the American cyclopedia wo are expected to -know all about it." "Of course people are duly grateful for all information received!" "The very class of people on would natnrally expect to have good manners are often those who not only do not apprtcitaea kindness, but sometimes even rcpa3r it with abuse. Well-dressed, well-to-do people, apparently ladies and gentlemen, are rude at times when the officer isdoinehis best to accommodate them, as it is his duty to do, and for which they might, at least for the benefit of example, make a show of common politeness. It is often a pleasure to help some common looking man or woman, perhaps a person who cannot read and is wholly ignorant of travel. I have been thanked by a person of that kind in a plain and homely way but with an evident earnestness that has made me feel good all day. Of courso I don't mean to say that all the common folks are good-natured and polite, and all the well-to-do people are bad-mannered. But a per son who has had the benefit of education and money is all the greater boor when he sets himself to be discourteous. People have singular notions about thiugs sometimes. Now, suppose tho question was asked, 'When is tho Cincinnati train dnef what would you suppose the questioner meantf' "He would mean to ask the time at which the train from Cincinnati would arrive here," answered the reporter. "That's what 1 thought when I came to this place. I soon found out better. Some of the people quite a numberappear to think tlilt 'due' means depart, and one has to be careful how he answers the question. There are other things quite as bad, and an officer, to be on tho safe side, had better notanswer a question until he is thoroughly convinced that he understands inst what the inquirer wants to know. The other morning a well-dressed lady was in. the waiting-room when the call was made for the 4 a. M.M., M. & I. train. he asked me if that train went to Columbus. I told her it. did, and she got upon the train. She rode' out as far as the Belt road, and there was assisted from tho coach bv the conductor and taken into a switchhonse to wait until the street-cars began running, in order that she might bo brought back to the station. , What was tho matterf She wanted to go to Columbus, 0. When she. reappeared at the station I expected abuse. But she was a perfect lady, and received my explanation in the sweetest temper possible. I asked her if she did not find the switch-house a rough place to wait in. She said it was not linpleasant," and that the flagman and others were very considerate. Nothing rutlied her goodnature; she took ali the blame upon herself, and said she should have thought that Indiana had a Columbus as well as Ohio. Now, there's a lady who sweetens tho world wherever she goes in it. I don't know her name, but she is an angel, all but the wings." ' - m j . .v : AMUSEMENT FEATURES. The Park Theater Has Keen Greatly Improved During the Summer. The formal opening of the Park Theater for the coming season will occur one week from to-morrow, when Joseph D. Clifton will begin an engagement. The Park has undergone many changes during the time it has been closed, and the improvements have been of a character that will command praise from the patrons of that popular place of amusement. The finishing touches will be made by the last of tho week, and on Sunday tho public will be given an opportunity to see one of tho most thoroughly arranged and handsomest theaters in the West. The Clifton Company will present "ltanch King" the lirst three days of the week, which will be followed by Mr. Clifton's new play, "Love and Honor," an American comedy-drama that has been a great success.

Itrroved to be not only one of his best efforts, but his greatest success trom other stand-points. It will be presented here at an early date. Two of the brightest and mot versatile comediennes, llillie and Ada Deaves, have completed all arrangements whereby they star Jointly next season in a musical comedy written expressly for them. In it they will have every chance to avail themselves of all their clever characterizations. Tho comedy is entitled "Chaos Flat." "Wilson Barrett will not dispose of the American rights of any more of his plays until ho has produced theui himself. He sold the rights for tho United States for "lloodnian Blind" and The Silver King," and when he, came on here two rears ago he fonnd that both of these plays had been killed for this country, as far as ho was concerned. The story of "Shenandoah," Bronson Howard's new play, begins at the opening of the war with the firing of the first shot at Fort Sumter, and deals not only with battles, but presents the tenderest phase of human sentiment and tells a sweet love story. Mr. Howard Is now putting the finishing touches on tho play, whioh will he produced at the Star Theater, ew York, Sept 9. Local ews Notes.
