RAX DOM STREET-CAR XOTES

Trials, Tribulations and Contagions Con tended With in the Transfer Box. Business of the Sjitem Growing Bercnd Its Capacitj How a Woman Sits Down and Trips Co Raniiing of the Xw Lines. 'Wflatevcr the transfer car has been as a convenience it is now an intolerable nuisance that should be abated without any postponement on account of the feather," remarked k Washington-street merchant, whose place of business is near that eye-sore. 'While the Citizens Streetrailroad Company is askin? for a franchise, or rather while Mr. Frenze! is preparing to grab one. the long-sufiering. people of this community should make themselves heard. If that company should continue to refuse to srive transfer tickets after the transfer car is abolished, it should be compelled to xnakeaS-cent faTe on all lines within the city limits. This would be doing something for the working people of Indianapo- " lis and for the rest of us that would be of djrect ana tangible benefit. The working people of this city have never been taken into account by tbat corporation. In many other cities street railways give concessions as to faro within certain hours and . to - school children. Here no concessions are made; the company will not even give' six tickets for 23 cents. If there ever was a misnamed corporation it is the 'Citizens" fctreet-railroad Company." v ' - Another gentleman remarked to the reporter: "The street-railroad company's enra are run upon Washington street, through the most important retail business portion of the city, with a reckless disregard for the rights of foot passengers, not to speak of the aanger to pedestrians, that should not be permitted. Cars follow each other so closely that it is difficult and dangerous to get across that thoroughfare, and to make the crossing one has to go on the run. This is especially true of the Washington-street crossings at Pennsylvania, Meridian and Illinois streets." Another talker: "The street-car company's employes aro not always as careful of the wrelfare of passengers as they should be. but this is not altogether their fault. The cars aro always overcrowded on certain lines at certain hours becauso the company fails to furnish suQicieut conveyances to transport its patrons in comfort and safety. On Friday night, when the theaters discharged their audiences upon the streets, the closed cars on several lines were crowded to sutlocation, while on the pneumonia cars, as the open variety are now aptly called, the passengers hung on to foot-rails like proverbial death to the colored man. While a ChrTord-avenne car was passing the south 'jid of the List market, the tongue of a market wagon that was backed up to the sidewalk and from which the horses had beeu detached, raked the foot-board. Two passengers were struck upon the legs and severely bruised, while another, the tongue having lifted, was ntrnck upon tb back and had the breath knocked out of him." i As the city grows and 'the new rapidtransit lines begin to heavily increase traffic, it becomes evident that the transfercar must go. For several months it has been too ssaall to accommodate with any semblance of comfort the throng of people who are pushed and prodded through it .with little more ceremony than cattle at the stockyards. A different system of transfer is in immediate demand. Any . evening that one enters this car he will see a struggling crowd of men, women and children packed like sardines in a box, and, as the arriving and departing cars are announced, fairly fighting their way to get in or out. Tbat anybody escapes with jveu a part of bis raiment from this rougb-and-tnmble tight is almost a marvel. The men in charge of the car are usually polite, consid-' ering the duty they have to perform, but the men and women who enter this car would not submit to like treatment anywhere else on earth and continue their patronage. 'The car-keepers have a running tire of this kind: "Move up there net away from tbat door plenty of room at this end that ' red-headed man ain't a transfer put that little woman with the baby on the stockyards line crowd in there, and be quick about it I can't bold that car forever, d'ye nearT" and more of the same sort. : Now and then a lady physically unable to light her way through misses her car and Is delayed until she has to go homo after nightfall, her family meantime being tilled with anxiety as tonne can.se of her absence. The chances are that the plucky woman who does successfully fight her way through the mass of humanity and reach her car will sutler all tho uext day with an attack of nervous headache or from sprains and bruises received in the struggle. . - Tht transfer car." remarked a physician to the reporter, "has already in my opinion done no small amount of mischief in this citv in spreading contagions diseases like ecarla:ina,diphtberia, whooping-cough, etc. Indianapolis has mora than her share of such contagious diseases, and 1 think that the transfer car acts as a distributing .agency for them. It will do better work m this line in the winter than in the summer, for then the doors will be closed and there rill be no ventilation, while breath and clothing will be .distributing the seeds of disease. It is an outrage to continue the -present system of transter a moment longer; it is not only a violation of the street-car ordinance to maintain that car in the street, but it is in violation of all the rules of health, borne of these days it would occasion no surprise to the physicians of this city if that transfer car should send a pestilence through Indianapolis that would number many scores of victims." The women have a great propensity for sitting on one foot in a street-car as well as in the seclusion of their own homes. It's a great failing of the sex. The ordinary observer would never notice it, probably, because their' skirts come too low to tell whether two precious little feet or ono are dangling down, but if, when one gets in a car, he will just casually glance along the line ten chances to one ho will find one young lady, at least, who to all appearances is a hero of the battle of Gettysburg. , They do it 60 skillfully and deftly that nobody but a woman is likely to ever detect them at it. It i done when sho rir3t sits down. Just as she is about to sit she gives a quick little hitcb. wbieh motion is employed to bring the leg np to the seat, and then the reHt of the performance proceeds as nsual. Thus, like the 'l urk at his pipe, or the tailor at his work, she rides comfortably from the starting-place to the destination. There are many advantages in this mode ot sitting, anti few disadvantages It economizes space in a crowded seat, and makes room for one more passenger, so . that the gentleman who graciously rises to give un his seat to the lady who has just Centered rinds, to his astonishment,, that there is still room for him after she has settled down to riding position. The only great disadvantage is tbat frequently a lady - may tear her skirt when she gets up to leave the car. Or, worse still, she may catch her shoe-heel in the drfss or othergarment and trip herself. A lady arose from a l'ennsylvania car-seat the. other day. and there seemed to be a tagging and pulling going on under her dress. In a moment there was a long, ripping sound, and she hsd fallen flat on her face in the bottom of the car. When she arose to her feet to go aha trailed about two yards of red braid after her, As to Sofa rillows. Frank Leslie's Weekly. Sofa pillows and cushions at present appear to demand the largest share of the needlewpumn'd attention. And some of thtra are indeed dreams of beauty. The prevailing fancy for ease and comfort iu home decoration insists upon a generous supply of thee cushion strewn abont an apartment. A straight-backed chair is immediately made more comfortable by the placing of a pillow against the hollow of one's back, and four or livo are not too many to pile upon a divan or couch. Cushions for this purpose nhould be stutTcd with down, becaunti it absolutely refuses to knot . up la lumps, but shakes out and fills up again, however much pressure it may have beeu under. Large coc.ch pillows are f re-

quently filled with u fine quality of feathers, in which case an inner covering is requisite so as to vrerent the feather quills from sticking through.

IS DR. PATTON A HERETIC? An Old Address Revived That Is Not in Keeping with Calvinistic Doctrines. New Yohk, Oct. 17. There is some agitation in store for President Patton, of Princeton University, growing out of a speech he delivered to the Philadelphia Society of Princeton College on March SI, 1887. During that year the controversy at Andoveronthe question of future probation was agitating the whole religious world. Dr. Patton, then professor of ethics in the college as well as the tern i nary, was invited by the students of the former institution to give an address upon the subject In Murray Hall. Philadelphia. A Urge and attentive audience listened to him with tho deepest interest, his views being supposed to be safe and final. Two members of the stall of tho Philadelphia Magazine, one of them a (stenographer, reported the speech with the greatest care. At the request of a member of tho faculty, the venerable Dr. Dntheld. wbodeemedtlic address "very broad," ono of those students waited upon Dr. Patton th following morning, gave him tho proof of his address and requested his permission to insert it in the Magazine. To his surprise, the Professor emphatically lorbade using it, saying that "he had spoken as Dr. Patton aud .not for the seminary." and that to publish his remarks "would injure the seminary." He closed the interview with the information that ho was soon to write npon the same theme for the Forum, aud did not desire to anticlpato that article. . These gentlemen have retained their proof and now come forward and are willing to swear that they made a correct report. Not long after the address had been delivered tho Forum article appeared entitled. "Is Andover Itnin.mizing?'' A comparison of that article with the Philadelphia address is said to be startling aa to the disclosures. Hero is an extract from the Philadelphia address: "We continually see men going into the other world imperfect. . They must be imperfect when they reach there and need some time for restoration or chance. I am pretty sure that there is no doctrine that is put in ft eopirdy by the simple affirmation ot this elief future probation. MEI-EOL'RXB AX I.MFOSTUK. Charged with Stealing Another Rain-Maker's Secret Alleged Prank nt Kans.iH City. . Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 17. Governor Huiuphrej-, of Kansas, is in receipt of a letter from Stockton, Cal., from an individual who signs himself Michael Cahill, M. D. Cahill says Melbourne, the Australian rainmaker, is an impostor, and is infringing on his rights, he having applied several 3'ears ago for a patent on hia discovery. He claims to have beeu thirty years in developing his discovery and says he laid the matter before the Australian government when Melbourne discovered a part of his secret. He ways when the ground is damp and the stratum of air next to the earth contains vapor. Melbonrne'soperatious fail, but that the art as explained by him never fails. It is believe! that rain-maker Melbourne has played a trick on the local sgual-service ooseryers, who oto much mystified over a rain which fell here yesterday morning. The indications for the past three davs have been clear and warmer. At 0 o'clock there was not a cloud to be seen an v where, but at 0:80 it was pouring down rain, with heavy wind and thunder. At 7 o'clock it was again clear, and there was no depression of thn barometer. The observers say that the rain was purely from local causes, as there was nothing to indicate it. It is now asserted the rain was due entirely to the eilorts of Melbourne, the rain-maker, who, it is alleged, has beeu working secretly here for the past three days, aud whose work was crowned with success. Professor MlliVs Experiment. San Diego, Tex., Oct. 17. For the past twenty-four hours a party at Camp EdWard Powers, near here, in charge of John T. Ellis, have been firing otV cannon and mortars, and exploding dynamite and "rack-h-rock." in the hope of obtaining ram. The firing began with a clear sky, which soon after began to cloud np, with prospect of rain falling soon. The ranchmen in this county have subscribed $2,500 to pay part of the expenses of the test.

The Independfnt The disciples needed to be told not to be troubled. They naturally would be very much troubled. They had expected a glorious kingdom, aud had just boen quarreling as to who should have tho best places in it, when He surprises them by telling them that He would leave them and be put to death. That shattered' all their hopes. What should they dof One who believes iu God is ready to believe in His Son as soon as he knows of Him. The two aro closely connected in our knowledge aud our faith: for our knowledge of (Jod comes chiotly through our knowledge oT Jesus Christ. Christ represents His Father us a king with a great palace; in it are many chambers for the abode of His servants. There abide all the ollicers of His court, all His servants, all His Son'w friends, all the retainers of the palace. That is ono figure of heaven, and one which brings us very close to (Jod; it U closer than the thought of numerous houses, mansions, scattered about a city or an immense realm. There is room, space, in heaven for all tho millions of God's people. There is room for the humblest in the heart of God. iu the love of His Son. Ho does not want any to perish, but that all may live. Christ will come for us. We have learned, better than the disciples knew, tbat we need not expect the visible coming of Christ to conclude the world's history. Whatever they expected, and whatever the cause of their error, for us we must expect Christ to come only in death. That is our second coining of our Lord. And then He will come for us, and surely take us to himself, and to the chamber prepared for US. Heaven will be a companionship with Christ. He wishes us with Him. We shall be close to Him, as it were in the same bouse, occupying each one separate apartment in the royal palace with him.; . It is not enough to know that when we .lie Christ will come for us and take ns to His house, for what shall we do in the nieantitncf The disciples had had Christ's daily guidance, lie had taught them, comforted them, helped them in every way. Now He was gone, who would teach them aud protect themT They felt that they would be orphan indeed. They bad expected that Ho would stay with then), and make a very alorious reiin with them on earth. Hut now He tells them He is going to lea vetheui, and they are greatly troubled. So He tells them that He will not leave them orphans., lie will provide one who will rill His place even the Holy Spirit. It is the advantage of the Holy Spirit's presence tbat it is ever accessible. They couid not all be all tho time with Jesus, were he on earth: but each one can always be under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. He can be with us always. Christ and the Holy Spirit are identified in oftice. At one moment Christ tells them that He will come nnto them, that "ye will behold me," and the next he tells them it is the Holy Spirit that shall be with them. The Spirit is the spirit of the Son. His spiritual presence. The Spirit's guidance and comlort is His guidance equally. Christians need not feel desolate, like orphans, if they have Christ or His spirit in their hearts. Then they should rejoice. They have the best company, the best guidance. ' - Christians have something the world does not have. They have Christ's spirit iu their heart, Christ manifested to them. One chief work of the comforter is to bring Christ's words to our hearts and our remembrance. We can cultivate His presence by thinking on Christ's word. If the Spirit was to bring to tho remembrance of the disciples what Christ said, we may be sure that He guided them when they wrote it down in the Gospels. Those books are inspired. Christ's last words to His disciples gaye them peace. That peace He left with them. It is still with them. It is their characteristic thrt they aro not troubled by the little things of life, because they have peace in the love and promises of God. Tlioucbt for the Day.

Cheerfulness is also an excellent wearing quality. It has been called the bright weather of the heart. Samuel Smiles. Bunyan says: "All tho ilowers in God's garden are double." There is no single mercy. It is abounding mercy. Spurgeon. All tho possible charities of life ought to to be cultivated, and wheu we can neither be brethren nor friends, let us be kind neighbors and pleasant acquaintances. Ilurke. There are two things which will till the pews of a church. One is a preacher's brains, and the other is piety. When yon can combine both, the most satisfactory results will be obtained. David J.

For yesterday knows nothing of the best. And thou shalt love it only as the nest Whence glory-winged things to heaven have flown. Lowell. CHRYSANTHEMUM MONTH. The Remarkable Flower Will Flourish In November Honored Id Japan. New York Commercial Advertise r. The one thing that makes the flower lover look forward to November with pleasure, after tbi summer's wealth of bloom has passed away, is that November is the month given up to the worship of the chrysanthemum, the peerless queen of autumn. Year by year, iu America and KuroDe. interest in this wonderful llower increases. The home of the best raneties of the chrysanthemum is Japan, the birthplace of the dwarf orange tree and oaks a century old in six-inch pots. Tho highest distinction the Mikado can confer upon any of his subjects is the decoration of the chrysanthemum. The chrysanthemum is also the royal seal, and for centuries has been esteemed and loved by people, nobles and commons. When wo think of tho slow growth of varieties in garden lWwers. bow long the single rose must have been cultivated and variations poted and fostered before we had the immense full double sorts now known, we are obliged to believo that it is centuries since tho careful Chinese and Japanese gardeners begun to improve the chryhantbt mum from the little single nttair which is supposed to be the original of all the varieties now in cultivation. The Japanese guard the choicest flowers with jealous care, u? possible that

varioties are carefully cultivated in some part of the empire that are superior to those known to Occidentals. It is even believed by some travelers that in some part of either China or Japan there exists tbat fabulous flower, the blue chrysanthemum. Chrysanthemums of bice are ngured on old porcelain and mentioned in written works. Mrs. Skidmore, in her book, "Jinrikisha Days in Japan.'' states that in the house of the head man of the village of Kawanathe possessor of a wonderful collection of chrysanthemums, she was given a salad made from the petals ot yellow chrysanthemums. It is also said that the Japanese put the petals of the flower into the Bake enp to prolong life and keep free from misfortunes. It is possible that the resinous quality of the flower has some hidden virtue not generally known.

MT8 OF FASIH0X. There was a time when a black dress was never Keen at a wedding: now. on the contrary, black is most fashionable for weddings. Picturesque and pretty sleeves of silk or velvet again appear npon imported dresses of India cashmere, camel's hair and silk of varied sorts. Ribbons are still the favorite trimming for evening robes. Their popularity is no doubt due to the girlish etiect which they give the toilet they garnish. Without following any,speeial mode, the prettiest hats are bent to suit the face. In this way the question of a chaneau may be easily and satisfactorily settled. Gathered flounces, rose-ruches, cabbagepleatings, and battlemented edges trim the foot of many dress bkirts, though some of the richest gowns are quite plain. Katbera quaint air is given the new shapes by the conical tops that so many hats atlect. Where this style is found to be trying the trimming may be used to overcome the dilbculty. Swiss belts have returned into fashion. They are laced up tho back or front, and are high both back and front, and tapered at the sides. They aro frequently studded with 6teel. gold or jet nail-heads. ' For evening wear lace and spotted nets flourish as vigorously as if it were midsummer. Ono charming skirt is made of alternate breadths of lace and accordion plaited crepe, the bodice being of crepe and sleeves of lace. Many gowns of heavy cloth are still lightened by omitting the foundation skirt, and are worn over a separate petticoat, sometimes of tine mohair, but usually of taffeta silk. Collars both high and low aro worn, and the flaring model is popular that extends low on the chest,-with a plastron of some rich textile irside.'and also an inner collar. Ulack velvet capes worn with large Rubens or Amy Kobsart bats of black velver, trimmed with jet and biack ostrich plumes, impart a slight and elegant appearance to a lady of tall, slender build. There are also very effective and becoming capes of black velours de Nord and of short-napped silk plush, that are designed to bo worn over colored cloth gowns, or those made of gay-hued Tartans made bias or tho goods and demi-trained. Tho Grecian style of coiflure is fashionable. Wo do not advise by any means, however, all our lady readers to adopt it merely for that reason. In the matter of hairdressing far more than in any other a lady should consult her own stj'le of face rather llisu the capricious decrees of fashion. This truth is much better understood nowadays than it was formerly, and ladies are freo to wear their hair on the neck or on the top of the head, in plain bauds, curls or frizzles, according to their individual style of beauty, Petticoats for winter use are handsomer than usual. Very rich stuffs in plain and figured satin. black, cream, gray and Indian red brocade, also silk and wool materials, are utilized, lllark satin or surah skirts, lined with fancy-striped flannels, are full in the back, closely gored on the front and sides and trimmed with rows of rose-pleating in plain ruches, or mixed with black lace. toft gray surah and camel's hair skirts are trimmed with tiny flounces of the skirt fabric, briar-stitched with red, lilac, black or golden brown silk. Very few muslin skirts, however, fine or richly trimmed, are worn with autumn dresses, their place being taken by round or detnitrained petticoats of strong American surah, many being simply finished with rallies with two-inch bom, headed with thorn stitching.
