TALKING TO THE COTTAGERS

The Instruction at Bclhanv Park and Camp Acton Given by the Treachers. Descriptions of Yellowstone Park and ConstantinopleA Day's Exercises for the Good of Toung People The Epworth League. BETHANY PARK. Lectures on Tellowatone Park and the Capital of the Sultan. Yesterday was tourists' day at Bethany Fark. the first ervice bein-r, as usual, the early moraine prayer-meeting held in the tabernacle. Although the sky looked somewhat threatening in the early part of the forenoon no rain fell, and the tcmperatare was very pleasant, a condition thoroughly enjoyed by the exceptionally large crowd on the grounds. The chief feature of the morning wasakcturo on Yellowstone Park by ller. M. L. Streator, of Montanna. Mr. Streator was sent to that Territory six years ago by the Christian Woman's Board of Missions as an evangelist, and in that capacity has resided there ever since, lleis well acquainted with the Territory, and the "Park" in particular, havingvisitedit Reveraltimes. Hencebewas thoroughly familiar with his subject, lie had hi address written bnt delivered it, however, with few references to his paper. He advised those intending to visit the park to go lirst to Livingstone aud enter it that way. In his description ho took up lirst the entrauce to the park and depicted in a very phasing way the beauties ot 'The Gate of the Mountains," as the lower canon of the Yellow stone is called. It is three miles long, one thousand feet hisb. and wide enough to afford abundant room for the passage of the wagon road, the railway and the river, side by side. Succeeding this came a view of Paradise valley, a view which breaks upon the visitor just after pasHing through the entrance to the park. This valley is inclosed on the west by a range of bills, and one gets cliinpses of the mountains beyond them. These hills are spurs of this great mountain range aud encroach in irregular outlines on the valley. They have strange shapes for hills. Volcanic in their orgin, they have been scarred by the glaciers and carved by the eroding elements into numerous fantastic shapes. Paradise valley is terraced, forming in reality a double valley, one snnk within auotber. The ancient mountain lake had deposited a thick sediment on the valley's bed, the central part of which was washed away by the river when it cut through tho lower canyon, thus forming a regular and lofty terrace on each side of the river. Mr. Streator then described the second canyon of the Yellowstone. His description of tne geysers was particularly interesting. Of Heirs llalf-acro he said: Taking my rield-gtassea, 1 scanned the steaming cavity with eagerness. 1 had been watching it but a few moments when, to my delight, it went into action, snowwhite columns of dense steam rising from the seetbiog abyss like rockets shot instantly into the air to great heights. A cloud of steam ascended from the center of the cauldron. From the midst of the cloud, and projected beyond it with great violence, came an immense solid column of water. In places the stream of water issuing from the hydraulic giant was impenetrable, so solid did this lofty column of w ater appear to its very summit As far as I could see it was not broken into spray. It was lifted bodily into the air. It did not look clear, but in contrast to the pure white of the steaming clouds, it appeared a pale yellow color. It arose rapidly and rushed to its lofty heights. It moved upward like a resistless stroke of the great pibton-rod of a mighty steam engine. It was not sustained at its great height, for as soon ns its projectile force was exhausted it dropped back and disappeared in tho cloud of steam. The clouds of steam rolled in tossing billows or Deaury aoove tne great cauldron in the broad plateau among the pine forests, in view of the lofty terrace, and within tho rock-ribbed barren of tho eternal mountains of God. The grand Yeton stood in imposing majesty like a creat sentinel over the tumultuous forces of nature. When he totters to his fall the earth will sink in the coming 6ea of lire." The exercises of the afternoon were begun with a concert given by thirteen boys of the Plainfield Heform school. under the leader ship of B. F. Ader, an oficer of the school. The songs were highly appreciated by the audience, which nearly liljcd the Tabernacle. Succeeding this came the lecture of President John J, Mills, of Eanham College, on "Life in the Sultan's Capital." President Miller spent a part of last April in Constantinople. His lecture was delivered in an easy, conversational 6tyle, and was very entertaining. He began by giving a description of the surroundings of Constantinople, and at the samo time weaving in an account of the strange history of the city. Then he took tip the city's iuterior and spent the remainder of his tme in dealing with that. His description of . the narrow streets, so narrow that there is barely room for two modern carriages to pass, and tho crowds that throng them was very graphic. The donkeys, he said, bear all sorts of loads. Some he saw with loads of bricks -strnngover their backs; others had bound to each siio long planks, and in this way th ings could be carried well enough until a street corner was reached, when everything had to come to a standstill until the little animal and his load were again arranged parallel with the street. Constantinople, too, he said, had a peculiar lire department. The city, built largely of wood, is frequently visited by destructive fires ono having destroyed 3,000 houses in 1873. Tho members of the lire department are tho city porters, a set of men who can carry bnrdens from S0O to COO pounds weight. When a tiro is dis- ' covered flags are hung out from the towers of the city, or the cannons are tired if it is day time. At night lanterns are waved, and the department hastens to bear forcefumps to the scene of disaster. It is scarcey probable that such a primitive system amounts to much in cases of great emergency. In the evening the large Tabernacle was crowded to hear a concert given by the choir of the Kokomo Christian Church. The choir consists of ten members, under the leadership of Mr. W. E. Browne. It ren- - dered excellent music, the numbers includiu m BOos Juo; a"d quartets. To-day will be assembly day again. In the morning He v. S. M. Jeherson will preach on V.Vb.nst,lanity." In tho afternoon W. F. Kicbardson will talk on The Greater orks. In the evening the audience will bo addressed by Kev. T. C. Brewer. To-inor-.row, at 8:S0 o'clock in the morning Love H. Jameson will lead a conference on "The Koman Letters." an address by Key. Jos. Jeuckes, rector of St. Paul's Church. Indianapolis, on "Unit as Fratrura." At night fc. M. Connor, of Irvington, will preach. Hereafter the first morning exercise will begin at 8:00, instead of 8 o'clock, to accommodate those who arrive on the 8:15 train. CAMP ACTON. Exercises Devoted to Children and the lurom of the Epworth Leugtie. Yesterday was children's aud young people's day at Acton, and all the exercises were devoted especially to them. The evaugeliets now taking part in the exercises arc noted for their work among young people, and their labors of j-ehterday proved of the highest value in dircctingthe attention of the church to that class of its members. The looming programme was carried out substantially as had been annonnced. A. A. Jones led the early prayer-meeting, and Kev. Charles Tinsley the speaking meeting. Iter. J. W. Duncan preached at 10 a. m. IBs text was from tho twentv-fifth verse of tne twenty-sixth chapter of Acts: M am not mad uiot noble Festus. but speak forth the words of triith and soberness." i l8abject.wa'":iiri8t'An Experience," JE.e prtacr id that, with the execpf L," couc;,ous'. evcrj' sense of one's Kiy H? acei.vL But that which comet through consciousness cannot be de''i?rhr?.t?TJ?!?

Redeemer liveth." At the conclnsion of the sermon a number of person went forward, asking prayers that they might come into knowledge and experience of Christ. At 2:30 p. m. an address was delivered by Rev. M. D. Carroll, secretary of the Epworth League. The -hour was devoted to an explanation of the work of the league, and in the course of his remarks, Mr. Carroll gave a history of the rescue of John Wesley from the burning rectory at Epworth. Angel hands, he said, led the sleeping child to the window where it could be liberated by strong men. But not John Wesley alone was taken from that building. The Methodist Church was also within. Little did the rector, who occupied the house, know what God brought from that window. "It is lilting that this now organization,'' said the Speaker, should be called the Epworth League. We intend to bring back the homo life of the VYesleys. Tho Holy club at Oxford was the Epworth home life carried into the great university. Epworth culture was pre-eminently a heart culture. That of Oxford was almost exclusively of the mind." Every new movement, he continued, is watched with jealousy by the older members of the church, as indeed they should be. An organization within the church must show reason for its existence. Some will ask, "Why does the church need a special organization of yonng peopleP "Will it not scatter and divide the people?" But it is not proposed to organize a society co-ordinato with the church, bnt one within it. It is the young people organized for religious work. It has become simply a question whether the yoang . peo-. pie shall have anything to do in tho church, or be considered incapacitated . for, its work. There is no doubt as to the correct answer. Therefore they must work systematically, and the purpose of the League is simply to provide tho system. The people must get away from the idea that religious work belongs solely to the pastor alono. Three things, Mr. Carroll said, are necessary to the organization of the league. It must be religious, in the first place, for there have been organizations of young people on a social or other basis, and the pastor has found that they have tended to dissipate their religion. The league docs not discourage intellectual development or social culture, but all these are provided for in high-schoots and colleges, and in modern society. The religious life must be provided by the church, and educational and social training should be directed toward religion. There is a tendency on the part of young people to break away from their early training, and tho work of the league is to counteract this tendency. Tho second necessity of perfect organization is that the league shall be denominational, and in the third place it must be evangelical. The history of Methodism is characterized bv a spirit of revivalism, and God intended his work to be evaugelical. Professor Hudson led the usual evening song service, and Dr. C. F. Creighton preached at 7:45, p. m., from tho thirtieth verse of the seventeenth chapter of Acts; "What Must I Do to be Saved." This, said the preacher, is the great question of the ages, and the answers the world has given to tit would fill a library. It is the old question of how man shall avoid evil. The text confronts every man. for, as Webster said, tho greatest question is man's accountability to God. A man must be a thinker to understand this, aud must open his mind to God. Conversion is a change from thoughtlessness to thinking; from blind folly to seeing life in its true light To be lost is like tne going out of tho last star; the breaking of the last chain of love. It is the first breaking off of the soul from God. with the prayer, "Oh! God. would that I had never been born." The present life decides one's fate for hell or heaven. At 4:45 a. m. to-day a Pentecostal service, led by Dr. Keen, will tike place, and at b a. M. a love-feast, led by President Jenkins, of Moore's Hill, is to begin. At 10 a. m. the sermon will be delivered by Dr. C. F. Creighton. and at 2:30 p.m. there will be preaching by Itev. M. D. Carroll. At 4:S0 p. M. young people's meeting is to occur, and at 7:45 evangelistic services will be held. Notes from the Camp. Kev. Ilenry Date did not reach the camp, yesterday, on account of delay caused by an accident.

Dr. C. F. Creighton will lecture next Wednesday. Chautauqua day. Ills subject will be: 'The . Devil." The camp-meeting, Association, consisting of the tent-holders, will be held at 1:30 r. jr. Tuesday. The Women's Foreign Missionary Society will be addressed at 2:30 P. M., on Monday, by Miss Frank Baker.

Graoe May, Myrtle Cox, Mamie Davis, Carrie Conrey, Ruby Martin. Ada Runnels, Carrie Thompson, Hose Hendricks and Maggie Todd. Quite a number of young men In business In the city go down to the camp every. evening, and return next morning. Those best known are Ben Darrow, WUl Mauiro, Herbert Robinson, Caraway Patter, Louis Robinson, James Allison, Edward Keen, Dunstan Bryant. Will King, Louis frtoneman, Peter 11 a tings, Wilber Robinson, Michael Swain, Lester Leo and George Cook. Farmers as Detectives. The Horse-thief Detective Association, of Lawrence township, will hold its annual picnio at Hammond's Grove, north of the city, on Wednesday. This organization is one ot three in the county, the other two being located in Franklin and Wayne townships. The Lawrence association, which is a typo of the rest, was first organized some years ago with but few members. Farmers in the township were losers to a large extent by the depredations of horse-thieves, and some measure to stop their work was sought for. With the growth of opinion and dlscussion.lt was decided to form a sort of detective agencv, and steps to that end were at once taken. Today the association has 150 members, audits attempts to trace criminals ore not confined to horse-thieves alone. The sole objector the association is self-protection' from injuries of all kinds. Nor are any means spared in discovering tho perpetrators of a crime. Farmers, as a class, believe In the force of example, and where there is a possibility or bringing the right man to lustice, it is believed that his conviction, regardless of cost, will be Just the thing to Insure safety from criminals. In the case of one Martin, who had done considerable thieving in the township, the Lawrence association took the matter in charge and In less than a month's time had fastened the crime upon him, for which he is now serving a ten years' sentence in the penitentiary. The agencies of such organizations reach out all over the State, and many detectives are said to stand very high for their methods of work. The Model's Picnic. One day each year, usually in the midsummer season, the Model Clothing Company gives a picnio to the boys and girls of Indianapolis. A plonlc of this character came off on last Thursday, and each one of the 1,800 tickets issued therefor had a holder bright and expectant of a free railri'al ride, a happy day in the woods, and a great dinner. The start to the Union station was made from in front of the Model, the Joyful rrwession being preceded by a band of music, the young oues following after as eagerly as the children of old followed tho Pied Piper of Hamelin. There were eight coaches at the station ready for them; in they scrambled, and away they went to Blue River I'ark. At o'clock they returned, safe and sound, for nobody ever gets hurt at these picnics, and marching up from the station they mado even a more attractive appearance than when they marched down in the morning. Every one was better mentally and physically for the romp in the woods and contact with nature. Mrs. Bradbury Indicted. The county grand Jury returned indictments yesterday against Francis M. Logan, accused of arson; John Parker, William Foreman, Bernard Riley and Lizzie Young, charged with rtit larceny; and Mrs. Cora Bradbury, for assault and battery on her husband. O. C. Bradbury. This latter indictment grew out of the sensational affair of Friday. Mrs. Bradbury was arrested at the (irand Hotel in the afternoon by a deputy sheriff and taken to the sheriffs oiHce. Here she was released on $100 bond. Woultt Like to Have a Divorce. Sarah M. Wolf brought suit in the SuierIor Court yesterday for a divorce from Charles F, V'olf. They were married In 1897, and Mrs. Wolf claims that since that time her hucband has failed to make any provision for her support, and she further charges that soon after their marriage be abandoned her without raufte. She asks for the custody of their daughter, Ethel, and $1,000 alimony. Ex-Governor Gray at Home. Ex-Governor Gray, who has been iu the Western Slates and Territories for the past ten weeks, returned home yesterday. lie looks well, and suys he had a pleasant trip. Not In the City. . Deputy United States Marshal Conway spent a part of yesterday in looking for William E. Denny, the altered default ingpostotnee assistant at Boouvilie. lie was believed to be in the city,

PEATIi OP DR. BAYLI6S.

A Prominent Minister and Editor Who Left the Impress of His Ability on Methodism. , The death of the Rev. J. H. Bayliss, D. D., occurred at Bay View, Mich., yesterday, after some hopes of his recovery had been warranted by his improvement on Friday. The Doctor, with Mrs. Bayliss, left their home in Cincinnati to attend the Methodist Assembly at Bay View, and shortly after his arrival he began to sutler from an eruption, but of this little was thought until it developed into a carbuncle. The symptoms became dangerous, aiul his physician decided that onlv an operation would give him a chance to live. The knife was applied Thursday and the Doctor rallied so much that his friends and physicians began to count on his recovery. But almost directly another carbuncle appeared, and from that time hope lessened. Dr. Bayliss was a native of Wednesbury, England, hut his youth was passed in western New York on a farm. lie was converted at seventeen, aud received into the church by Kev. Dr. E. Thomas, whoso tragic death a few years ago at the hands of the Modoc Indians will be remembered. He was educated at Genesee Wesleyan Seminary and Genesee College, Lima, N. Y., and was received iuto the Genesee Conference on trial in 1857; was ordained deacon by Bishop Simpson, aud elder by Bishop Ames. In 18G6 he was transferred toHockKivcr Conference, andstationedsuccessively at Park-avenue and Trinity churches, Chicago. Immediately after tho fire in Chicago, in 1871, he was transferred to the Southeast Indiana Conference, and stationed at Boberts Fark Church, this city. His next charge was Trinity Church, then at the corner of Alabama and North streets, from which, at tho end of three years, he returned to Roberts Park. In 187S he made a tour in Europe. . In 187J he becamo pasV tor oi Central Church. Detroit. Alter three years in this charge he was transferred to Cincinnati Conference, and stationed at Walnut Hills. Cincinnati. While still pastor there, in 18K4. he was elected editor of the Western Christian Advocate, to which position he was re-elected at tho last General Conference. Dr. Bayliss was appointed by the bishops a member of the coniinittoe to prepare the hymnal now in use. lie received the degree of M. A. from Geneseo College, the degree of D. D. from the Ohio Wesleyan University, and that of LL. 1). from Albion College, Michigan. The Western under his administration increased by several thousand its circulation, lie was a minister of uioro than ordinary pulpit power, and in tho editorial chair showed marked ability. As a pastor he made many friends, and beiug a man of earnest convictions his opinions were always given with force and courage. CORNER-STONE CEREMONIES. The Commissioners Arranging Their Frofrramine fur the Great Event In view of the magnitude of the occasion and the proximity of the 22d inst., the day upon which tho corner-stone of tho soldiers' monument will bo laid, it will be well for the people to at once provide their stock of decorative material. It is anticipated there will be a great rush at tho last day, when tho dry goods houses will be unablo to supply the material. The line of march of the procession has not been definitely - determined, but the column will form at 12:30, and move promptly 1 o'clock. A newspaper coinmitteo has been selected by the Monument Commissioners. This committee will consist of Harry S. New, of the Journal, Ben A. Eaton, of tho Sentinel, aud H. TT. Brown, of the News. The Governor's Guards. Capt. Chas. Fulton, will act as escort to Gov. Hovey on the 22d. Tomlinron Hall will be used during the day as a rendezvous for the Grand Army aud other old soldiers. Tho monument commission has been in correspondence with railroad man agers regarding rates and thero is a prospect that tho Central Trallic Association will agree to a cent-a-mile rate to this city from all points in the State. To Receive the President. The citizens' committee, to look after details of reception attending President Harrison's stay iu the city, appointed by the Board of Trade, met yesterday afternoon, George G. Tanner presiding. D. M. Bradbury, W. B. Iloltcn and J. E. MoGettigan were appointed a committee to secure carriages aud badges, and to arrange with the monument committee any details that might be necessary. The secretary was directed to confer with Mr. Halford, the President's private secretary, as to when the presidential party would be hero. The chairman of the meeting was authorized to fill vacancies of members who are out of the city, or who will not be here on the 22d inst. lie therefore announced that he hnd chosen M. M. Laudls in the place of Col. 6. F. Gray, and Judge Alex C. Ayres in the place of William Henderson. The meeting then adjourned to meet on next Saturday at 2 r. m. Ured to Join the Posts. Department Commander Charles M. Travis, of the G. A. R., has issued a ciroular urging all veterans who are not members of posts to Join at once in order to have as complete a roster as possible for the laying of tho corner-stone. "It would be almost criminal," he says in this circular, "for a post commander to fail to have the name of every comrade of his post deposited in the corner-stone, and I trust every post officer and every Indhidual comrade of the department will make it his social duty to see that his name Is placed upon the list of his post, and that his name Is pl2fUy written and correctly spelled, so that in bavliLg the roster printed there may be no mistakes. Every soldier and sailor now residing in the State of Indiana is nrged to apply at once for admission into the nearest post, that his name may be placed upon the roster. 8usS ended and dropped members should takeimmelate steps to be restored, as the lists will be prepared and forwarded to the assistant Adjutantgeneral not later than next Saturday, Aug. 17." Returned from California. Hon. William Williams, minister to Paraguay and Uruguay, during the administration of President Arthur, is in the city for a few days, stoning with his daughter, Mrs. E. P. Thompson, on Central avenue. Mr. Williams, who is not In good health, has beenllvlngforsome time In California, and arrived from Los Angeles last Thursday. "California." ho remarked to the reporter, "is Srosperous; especially the southern part of the tate. The Iwom, to some extent, has ended and spoiled a number ef good towns on paper. Los Angeles has been affected a little, but not much, and they are putting $1,800,000 iu cable road there. They do not have as much politics there as here, especially after an election is over, though they are a little crotchetty on the Chinese Question at all times. There is still a great deal of immigration into California, and it will be a great State. Everything on be produced there except water, and they are going to have enough of that for ordinary purposes. There are quite a number of Indianaolis people In Los Angeles. I believe thoy are well pleased and getting along nicely." German Orphan Association. The German Protestant Orpiiau Association held its annual meeting last night for the election of officers. The meeting was held In the City council-chamber. Henry Pauli, who has been president, resolutely declined re-election, his business not permitting him to serve longer. The following officers were elected; President, lleury F. Habenev. Vice-president, Joseph II. Schaub. First Hecretary. C. 11. Rosebrock. Hccond Secretary. Henry E. Thorns. Treasurer, Ilenry Roesner. Trutes, A. II. Rnte. Wm. Teckenbrock, Win. Rathcrt, Geo. Briukmeyer, Henry Pauli. . . Handed Over to the Police. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a man was laid hold of at the Arcade clothing store by a clerk and one of the proprietors, and a few minutes later was handed over to patrolman Raftery. The prisoner was charged with attempting to steal a rubber coat. He was under the influence of Honor and probably did not know what he was doing. At the station house he was slated for drunk and petit larceny, lie gave his name as Washington Hampton. Going to Warsaw. Whatever will add to tho pleasure ot the trip. the commercial travelers, on their excursion to Warsaw. Saturday, the 24th, will certainly have. The programme includes a stsy at the park until evening, and that means a visit to all points of interest, besides a steamboat ride on the hike.

PunUhtng Minor Offenders. William Smith, who was arrested rcceutly for beating Kniui Mulligan, was fined $15 and costs iUmif Jh 'Mm 11 1 Jk 'nhn Uajp!, for

assaulting Peter Conway Friday night, was sent to the work-house for Ave days by acting Mayor Smock. Charles Carter and Fred White, two wen-known crooks, were sent to the work-house for sixty-four days. . TIIE CITY CAMPAIGN. Republicans Have Several Good Men Cor ' Mayor, but Democrats Cling to Norton. The time for the Republican and Democratic primaries has not yet been fixed. As to the Republican candidates for Mayor, the talk seems to be centering around John Cavin and Gen. R. S. Foster, although it is by no means doubted that other good material will be available. Fortunately, the party is not in the condition of the Democracy, who seem to think they have but one man available for the nomination. And yet, r.mong Republicans, harmony is being observed. "There will be the main point wherein we will be strong in the coming city campaign," said a Republican yesterday. "Even if we only had one man to put up, which I only concede for argument, tho need for harmony would be no less urgent. But here is the way we are fixed. We have a number of men who are highly capable to fill the office of Mayor. We will be expected to choose one of these, aud then every Republican must work toward his election. Nor do I have any fear but that this will be done. I believe that 'the Republican party was never in a better condition in Indianapolis than it is to-day, and 1 have perfect confidence in seeing it win." "Whom do 3'ou regard as having the , strongest following for Mavorf" "Well, that is a pretty hard thing to say jnst at this itage of the campaign. Several men I can mention would be equally strong. In tho election of any one of -them the lawabiding citizens of both parties may rest assured that law and order will be preserved in this city during his administration." On tho other hand, the Democratsjare in a dilemma. Tierce Norton is being pushed forward as a candidate, and from tho present indications he will receive tho nomination. In case such indications are realized there are hundreds of Democrats that insist they cannot give him their support, and their votes would naturally drift to the Republican nominee. Jnst what will bo the result is not known. The Norton element of the Democratic party insist on their man and are unwilling to compromise with the opposition. Should success crown their e'.lorts, all doubt ns to the political faith of the next Mayor of tho city would then and there be settled. . Political Notes. Councilman Fred i a ul. from the Twenty-fifth ward, has at luxt announced himself as a candidate for rc-elcciioiu "I can tell you a secret, said a oitizen to the reporter, yesterday, "that is only known to a few men. The Democrats, you know, are trying to keen the datoof their city nominating convention ncciet. in fact, they even say it Is not settled yet. But, Just between you and me, it has been nxed for bept. 11." "The Prohibitionists had ft hard place to till last Friday night," remarked a Democrat yesterday, "'or they foeiiiingly were not able to Hud anj-tKJrty who would assume the 'burden of making the race, as they put It. And it was a trifle unfortunate that they put up Dr. Harold for Mayor. Whv, if you look iu the directory of lnit year you will lind his name registered as a student; and that was the lirst year his name appeared in the directory."

TIIE ATTtfitNEY-GENEEAL AT HOME. lie Is Ahraj's a Hoosier with Hoosier Sympathies and rridc in Local Affairs. Attorney-general Miller, iu better health than lie has known for years, is at home enjoying himself in a quiet way, chiefly in receiving the informal and friendly calls of his neighbors. In the evening he may usually be seen at his residence, seated in an easy chair on tho long and well-shaded veranda, smoking a cigar, and in pleasant chat with friends. It was thus the reporter found him. "No, I have nothing, I believe, to say of Washington, nothing of national atlairs that would interest tho public in any way," ho remarked pleasantly. "You gentleman of the press may bo able to say somethiug, however, for you frequently have, as 1 have noticed, the gift of prophecy."' "i understand you attended the last game of base-ball that the Indianapolis club played with the Bostons. Did the defeat of the latter clnb meet your approval?" "I may say that it aid. I'm a Hoosier, and want our boys to win. That, by the way, is the lirst game I have seen them win. In "Washington I attended a game, accompanied by (ien. Dan Macauley, aud the Indiauapolis club was beaten." "I suppose you are troubled a little in such a case as to your allegiance, probably. Y our sympathies while in Washington are with the Washington club?" "ISo; on that occasion my sympathy was with the Indianapolis club. But, see here, you are not interviewing me on baseball." Mr. Miller will return to Washington in two weeks, but will again visit Indianapolis on the 27th of September to attend to a case he has hero in the Supreme Court. Religious Notes. The Rev.

' The Spiritualists to He Organized. At 10 o'clock this morning the Spiritualists of this city are to meet m the hall in Mansur'a Block, northeast corner of Washington and Alabama street?, and organize an association of that sect. There have been several times organizations of Sprituallsts here, but disintegrating forces destroyed them and they have seldom continued long. There are now about two hundred avowed Spiritualists in the city, andperhaps as many more persons who believe in various manifestations considered to be of spirit origin. The latter, however, are skittish ou the subject of K'lng considered outand-out believers. Among the prominent members Is Professor tiarrlpon, a younc man recently of Cincinnati, who is considered a wonderful medium.

A LIFE OP GOOD WORKS.

An Interesting Character Replete with Wom anly Lore, Devotion and Faith. TheUfeof Mrs. Jane C. Graydon, the eighty-seventh year of which is n earing its end, has been one of good works. The lady did much in her younger days to give Indianapolis society that force, intelligence and usefulness which are so noticeable at this day. Mrs. Graydon was born in Ilarrisburg. Pa., and has been a resident of this place since 1S14. She came here with her husband and ten children at a time when the population offcthe State capital num bered about five thousand. The Graydons traveled from Harrisburg to Madison, this State, by canal and river, and from the latter place to Indianapolis by stage, the journey ocennvinc manv davs. The first home of the Graydons here was on Maryland street, where they lived seven years, subsequently bnildiug the brick house on the southeast corner of Michigan and Pennsylvania streets. One of Mrs. uraydon's earliest mends In her new home was Mrs. Bradlev. the mother of Mrs. Dr. Kitchen and Mrs. Morris Defrees, andr another friend and co-worker for more than forty years was tho late Mrs. Hetty Adams. Mrs. Gravdon comes of nnre revolution ary Stock, her maternal grandfather being Colonel Chambers, and her fat her, Mordecai McKinney. The story of the revolution and the birth of the Republic was told over and over again around the hearths of the family by the actors in the great drama, thus imbuing the spirits of the young with true patriotism. In religious belief Mrs. Graydon has always been a Presbyterian, naving unirea witn tne cnurcn at tne age of sixteen; and her husband, Alexander Graydon. was for many years an elder iu Dr. Do Witt's church, in Harrisburg. one of the oldest in Pennsylvania. Upon tho settlement of the family here Mr. Graydon was elected to the same om'ce in the one church of that faith, and he continned in it -till his death. When unite young, Mrs. Gravdon was deeply interested in mo slavery quesnon, aim oy uer extreme views in opposition to the institution, and her fearless declaration of her convictions, she drew upon herself the censure aud condemnation of her nearest friends. This, however, never blinded her to the right nor deterred her in the discharge of what to her were sacred aud imperative duties to her fellow-men. After her marriage, when mistress of her own house and mother of several children, fngitive slaves from irgiuiii aud Maryland were never turned unrelieved from fier doors. Instead, hiding tho matter from servants and children, the runaways were secreted in her attic, and there by stealth she fed and clothed them, and when opportunities favored she ledthem forth, and started them, with kindly words, on the shortest route to Canada. More than once had the sheriit' invaded her house, knowing her principles, aud sure too that the fugitives were hidden somewhero iu the town; but true to her lofty instincts and her womanliness, she never by word or look betrayed the forlorn and the helpless. In Indianapolis she was the first teacher in tho Sunday-school for colored people, but sho was soon joined in this work by Mrs. Dr. Ackley, who was the leading singer in Henry Ward Beecher1 Church. In all good work, in all projects for the betterment of humanity about her, Mrs. Graydon was indefatiguuble, and, though the mother of fourteen children, aud iu all respects au industrious, conscientious mother, sho fouud time to act as president of the Bible society for many years, to organize cottage prayer-meetings, and to tukc an active part in all church work that needed her rle:fr brain mid willing hands. Sho assisted in the organization of the Benevolent Society, and remained an active member of it until a few-years ago, when she resigned .her membership on account of failing health. Mrs. Graydon is exceedingly cheerful, aud takes much interest in affairs, but chiefly in what concerns her owu family, and the event of the day is the arrival of the postman, bhc is anxiously awaiting news from "Jemmy," in England, who is her youngest son. She often expresses a hope that she may live to know of his assured success in his present enterprise. Of Mrs. Graydon's fourteen children, seven arc living. Dr. Graydon, of Southport, still practicing medicine at the ai;e of seventy, is her step-son. A DELIGHTFUL CITY. Features of Indianapolis Social Life That Impress Strangers Within Her Limits. "There are several things in which Indianapolis dilters from other cities," remarked a gentleman who has traveled about a great deal. "One is, the stability of its population. There is less moving about cf families from one part of the city to another than in any city 1 ever was in. You have no moving season here; no great number of houses that chauge occupants the first of May. This is because in Indianapolis a larger per cent, of the population own the houses in vthich they live than in any large city in the United States, or for that matter, perhaps in the world. Another thing is the wonderful street car politeness of the place. This may, to a considerable extent, grow out of the fact that everybody knows everybody else, but from whatever cause it arises it is a very bleautiful and commendable thing. Tho lack of ordinary politoncss is exhibited in other cities upon the street cars more than anywhere else, while in this city the man nets of the people appear to be always ready for inspection. "I nave never seen a man here retain his seat in a street car, aud allow a woman, colored or white, old or young, nlain or pretty, to stand. Now I don't believe that can be said of any other city of 125,000 or more people. The boorish selfishness of Chicago iu this matter is proverbial, and Cincinnati is not far behind. There is some display of gallantry hi Louisville and St. Louis, but politeness to the sex in both thoso cities, even common civility, usually stops at the color line. Another thing 1 notice, is that as tho cars roll along, especially in the evening, tho people who come out and sit upon their porches, or stroll about the lawns or sidewalks, and those on the cars exchange salutations. I have seen more tipping of hats here in Indianapolis iu one overling's ride than in six months in any of the cities I have named. But that may be because the people hero are better acquainted with their neighbors, and that. 1 take it, is the true solution of the matter. Indianapolis, large as sho is, has retained a great deal of the charming freshness and cordiality of the country town, and her people are not grown 6trauge and selfish to each other, as is usually the case in cities. Now and then there is some talk about the place being too slow and old-fogyish, and she does seem at. times a little backward in coming forward, but, after all, every time I return to her I say to myself that Indianapolis is the most delightful spot on earth." Ileal Estate and Building. Real estate and building during the past week have both been very quiet, thero being but sixty-one conveyances, amounting to a total transfer of $95,492. Of this amount $11,223 was recorded yesterday. The new park project of the Citizens' fitreet-car Company, it Is thought, will considerably raise tbe price of suburban property north of" the city, and some speculation in city lots in that direction is noticeable, imilding is ou the decline, although 374 cottages have been erected since Jan. 1. fcinoe last Monday twenty-six permits have been issued, of which thirteen were for dwellings. They represent an outlay of $18.970. Thoe procuring permits yesterday were E. W. IMlnn, frame dwelling, o. 437 North Lat street $'2,000; I. L. Patterson, repairs. No. iisO Last Ohio street, $19Q. Drowned In a Slop Cistern. Yesterday morning about 7 o'clock, William Btulte, Jr., a farmer residing on thelluggins pike, two miles from the terminus of Virginia avenue, went to the rescue of one of his hogs that had fallen into a slop cistern. While standing upon a ladder in the cistern Stulte slipped. 111 reel going between we rounas m iue iituuer. He fell backward, with his head In the slop.

PROFITS ON MANY NOVELS. Very Few Works of Fiction Fay for the Author's Time. Boston Journal. The average novel does not pay tho author for his trouble, and often does not cover the type-writer's bill. I know of ttvo recent novels upon which each of the authors spent the best part of a year in writing and revising. Both novels are. according to the popular acceptance of tho term, successful that is, they have been widely written about, paragraphed iu the press from one end of the country to another. English editions have been printed of each, and to every literary person the names of both novels aud authors are thoroughly familiar. Now, what have the authors received in hard cash for theirycaiJs workf I will tell you exactly. Of one 1,700 copies wcro sold. No royalty was paid upon the first 1.000 to cover manufacture, etc., aud upon the remaining 700 copies the author received the regular 10 per cent. The book sold for $1. Tho net revenue to the author was, therefore, $70. His type-v.ritcr's bill was $01.50. Net protir. 8.50; and the book has stopped selling. The other' author was a trille more fortunate in that his novel reached a sale of 2,000, all but rive copies. Like the hrst, ho received a ten-per-ceut. royalty only after the first 1,000 ropies. Unfortufriiat'ly he bought ho mauy conies of his own book 'for friends that when his publisher's statement came it showed a credit in his favor of just &)9.50. Had he type-written his manuscript, the novel would have thrown him into debt. The lloneymooncrs Hotel. London Figaro. I am awaiting further particulars of that houeyniooners' hotel, which, according to a circumstantial correspondent, is to be built op the South Devonshire coast for the special and, if possible. 6ole use of newlymarried couples on their wedding trips. That the surroundings of the establishment are to bo made as idyllic and fairy-liko as possible need scarcely be said. Komantic arbors in shady comers, gushing streamlets, secluded sylvan nooks aro to be provided ad lib., while with the aid of science every night will be a moonlight one, and every dav one of seeming bright and warm sunshine. The prospectus is even said to hint at tho presence of mochanical mahtingales, which, thanks to persistently winding up, will warble on every suitable tree. The decorations, artistic and otherwise, of the hotel are, of course, to be all in character, though I must admit that I question whether tho proposed transformation c the ordinary weak-kneed hotel waiters and tho somewhat too substantial chamberJ maids of the provinces into attendant Gannymedes and Hebes. as . artistic in their poses as they are classical in their attire, will really be an advisable step to take. The laying on of seolian harps and other mysterious music in every apartment is another detail open to criticism. But there is nothing like actual experience after all, and 1 shall be curious to hear moro about the honeymooners' hotel when it has been opened for business for a few weeks. A Compliment to the President. Bar Harbor 8peclaL X. Exeter, N. II.. a . quiet country town, could not turn out an enormous crowd, but it made the clear, bright air ring with its cheers. There were many women and half a dozen clergymen in the packed mass that reached up its hands to the President. "I'm a comrade," shouted a struggling man with a Grand Array .button ou his coat, and the President clung to the rail and swung himself far ontto reach the hand of the veteran. Another man yelled at the rear of crowd: "Say, Mr. President, you're a gosh darned sight better looking than your pictures." Expected Too Much. Life.
