Four Designs from rlln for the Army Astragal of the Monument. President Langsdalo, of the monument commission, spent yesterday afternoon in unpacking the box of models received from ' Paul V. Bartlett, of Berlin, as his voluntary contributions in the army astragal competition. They were received in very good condition, considering the great distance they cacao and the handling they have undergone. There are four different designs, two each representing the yonng citizen soldier pursuing the avoca tions or peace uat reaay xo lane up arms if called upon. A third represents the old philosopher with ' his books at his side while he sits in a meditative manner viewing the ravages of trar. The fourth la that of a mother with her two yonng sons at her fcnee, telling them from a history how their father gave up his life for his country. The work is all very beautifully done for mere sketches, bnt President Lnngsdaleis of the opinion the artist has failed to make his conceptions aaggestive enough of the grimness and tenors of war. These are xnerelv voluntary contributions, however, ana will have no hearing In the award of the prize to the competitor. Mr. Itartlett vr as appointed a competitor. and will preseut other models to connt in the corn petition, and for which he will receive 1UO. whether he wins or not. A special meeting of the hoard, at which only four members were present, was held in the afternoon to oettlo some matters vhtcli required immediate attention. KEW BRIDGES WASTED. Plea for that at Kentucky Avenue Renewed Alalama Street at Fall Creek. A deputation of citizens of West Indianapolis called on the commissioners yesterday in behalf of a bridge over White river, at the end of Kentucky avenue. D. W. Marmon, of Nordyke, Marmon & Co., presented the arguments for the citizens; W. J. Shinn, for tho School Board, and W. W. Srencer for the town board. The proponed site for the bridge is a point 150 feet south of the Indianapolis &, Vincents railroad bridge. Itia proposed to straighten Kentucky avenue at the Van Camp packinghouse, thus making a straight drive from Washington street to the aveune. on which the Nordyke plant is situated. Mr. Marmon called attention to the fact that the southern portion of the city has only two brid ices, while the northern part has eight. West Indianapolis, it was stated, has one-third the manufacturing interests of the city, and is the coming center for factories. It is proposed to make the bridges cost from &r.U)0 to gl0,0tx. The board was also visited by a delegation of North-side citizeus. headed bv Messrs. Mamndale and Ongood, in behalf of the Alabama-street bridge. In consider U:on that this Is built, these gentlemen said they would build a paved street, to be known as Washington boulevard, to the new fair croon ds- As in the first case above, the board promised to view the site of the bridge. Cost of a Fight In the Tulplt. Addison Fnlloway paid 81 and costs yesterday in the Police Conrt for assaulting Jamea Russell, Snnday evening, in tho Hillside M. E. Church. Kuweit, who is an officer in the church, was in the pulpit at the time, just after the close of service. He said he had given Pulloway no provocation whatever. The Cltj's Mortality.

Of these 151 were born in the United .States, 2 in Kngland. and 22 in Ireland. The prevailing causo of death was grip, from which 2J died; Udied of diphtheria. 2'w bed-room ecu ax Wo. L. Hldzr'a,

PROPOSES TO TAKE A HAND

Two Large Committees The Body May Take a Hand In Franchifte-GlvinfiT. Tho Democrats of the new Council held a caucus in the city clerk's office last night. There was a lull attendance. The meeting was held to hear the report of the committee on rules, appointed by the former caucus. The committee reported a set ot roles not different from those that have been in vogne during tho past year, except where it was necessary to make a slight change to conform to the charter. The committee also recommended the abolishment of some of the old committees and the creation of a few new ones. There are to be fifteen committees in all, as follows: Accounts and claims, finance, contracts and franchises, fees and salaries, judiciary, printing, ordinances, public health, publio property and improvements, publie safety and comfort, publio morals, railroads, rules, sowers and streets and alleys. Hereafter the finance committee, of which Kassmann will be chairman, will be composed of seven members, as will also the committee on contracts and franchises. The fact that there will be seven members of the latter committee is significant. There is every probability that there will be a clash of arms between the Hoard of Pnblio Works and the new Council. The other day a prominent Democratic member said to a Journal reporter: "The Hoard of Publio Works has imagined all along that the Council hasn't been in it, and no far the Connoil has confirmed everything the board has sent to it. but this won't last always. The board is now figuring with the water company concerning a new contract, and will likely negotiate with the Citizens' Street-railroad Company regarding a new franchise, shortly. I wonder what the people would think if the Council would exercise the prerogative given it by the charter, when thoso contracts are sent to it for confirmation, and ask the corpora-' tion to open its books to inspection? The Council will make the Hoard of Publio Works think that it is 'in it' beforo the year is over." Thursday night the new Council will hold its first regular meeting, when the officers will be elected and the president will make known his committees. The next meeting will be held the third Monday in the month, unless a meeting is held next Monday night to receive the Mayor's annual address. SCHEME FOR A LONG BOULEVARD. Froperty-Owners Want to Make an Elegant Drive of Alabama Street to Thirtieth. Messrs. E. B. Martindale and E. F. Claypool appeared before the Board of Public Works, yesterday morning, and with other gentlemen tiled petitions for tho improve ment of Alabama ntreet with asphalt, from Seventh to Fourteenth street The petitions were signed by all the resident property-owners, which certainly ought to carry some weight with It. Mr. Martindale explained that if the board would order the improvement of the etreet as petitioned for it was the intention of the property-owera to convert Washington boulevard, tho extension of Alabama ntreet. into a sixty-toot drive way. and have a boulevard from Seventh street north to the township line. "Will the County Commissioners bnild a bridge over Fall creek! ' President Con dnitt inquired. "1 believe they will," was Mr. Martindale's reply. President Conduit! also wanted to know what wonld be done about sewerage, and Mr. Martindale said the sowers could bo put in the alleys and that any plan that contemplated doing away with the State ditch would provide for a sewer there. Mr. Martindale further stated that the Citizens' Street-railroad Company would take up its tracks on Alabama street and tho roadway could be made a nniform width. The people residing on Alabama , street, south of Seventh street, are as much in terested in having the-thoroughfare converted into a boulevard as their neighbors north, and a petition will soon bo presented to the board asking for an asphalt pavement from Washington street to Seventh. Controller Woollen has already asked the board to improve Alabama street, from Washington street to Massachusetts avenue, either with asphalt or brick. From Washington street to Thirtieth street would atford the people an elegant fourmiledrlving boulevard, andevery ettort will be made to have the board consider the matter. The board has also been asked to convert Tennessee street, from Washington street to Fall creek, into a boulevard, bnt it is doubtful if both could be ordered the same year. The gentlemen interested are confident that if the board will agree to improve Alabama street the Citizens1 company will tako op its tracks and the County Commissioners will build a bridge over p all creek. Mr. James B. Hey wood is of the opinion that tho present Meridianstreet bridge ought to bo moved to some other location where it would bo nsed less and a modern structure put in its place. The County Commissioners were asked yesterday to build the bridge at Alabama street. WATEll CONTRACT. Mayor, Hoard or Works and President of the Company Hold a Secret Meeting. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the Board ot Publio Works and Mayor Sullivan held a conference with' President Morris, of the water company. It is needless to say that newspaper representatives wero not admitted. The conference lasted considerably more than an hour, and the contract, as drawn up by the board, was gone over in order that it might be made acceptable to the water company in every way before the public is allowed to kno what the provisions are. It is said that the coutract will be signed directly, bnt this has been said so often of late that it has lost most of its charm. There is no telling, however, what a day may bring forth. 1V1U Test the 1'Iat Question. The Board of Publio Works is having a good deal of trouble about the approving of plats of additions, and there are some people who do not take much stock in the city attorney's opinion on the subject. Yesterday morning Mr. John Carter came in with a plat of some territory south of Bright-rood and east of the Belt road. He had made an etiort to have it recorded, but the recorder had refused to officiate .without the sanction of the board. After discussing the matter some time, Mr. Carter went upstairs and got Recorder Brink. Then the matter was gone over again in detail and the board told Mr. Carter that it he would change his plat so the streets would be co-terminus and make other alterations that it would be submitted to tho city engineer for a report. Kecorder Brink is of the opinion that there is no provision in the law that will justify him in refusing to record plats of ground outside the city limits. , Minor Contracts. The Board of Public Works awarded the contract for the grading and graveling of Columbia avenue from Seventh to Tenth street to Wheeler &, Ingram at J 1.31 a front foot on eaoh side. liansberg &. Roney got the contract for constructing a sewer in th first alley south of Twelfth street, near Pennsylvania, at $1.07 a foot. The Board "of Publio Works yesterday morning awarded the contract for planking the west walk of tho viaduct to W. , Loucke. at i-il.M. Pino lumber is to bo used. There wero several bidders. Tim Griffin Can Settle. Frederick Lachman asked the Board of Pnblio Warkj jeiieid&y to pur him for

putting in intersections of the sidewalk around the State-house. Mr. Lacbman has been trying to get this matter settled for a long time. The work was ordered by custodian Timothy Griffin and not by the city. Consequently tho city will not pay for the work. Is Tie Ever Sober? Court-house basement custodian John O'Connor camo reeling into the offico of the Board of Secret Works late yesterday afternoon. He was a good representation of a "jaggedy" man. "By G d, Pm goin ter quit!" he exclaimed, addressing Clerk Parker. "Pm goin' to foind out who's boss around here. I'd loike t' know who's got a roight to carry de ka.vs except moiself." aud out he went. Nobody knew what he was talking about. Tracks In a Mad-llole. Mr. n. C. Stevens, of 516 North Mississippi street, complained to the Board of Pnblio Works yesterday morning that the street-car tracks are in a mud-hole in front of his residence, and that tho mud is splashed all over his houeo. The streetcar company was ordered to repair the street. The Sewer Has Settled. Councilman Cooper yesterday complained to the Board of Publio Works that the sewer in the first alley west of Missouri street, between New York and Vermont streets, has settled three or four inches. The complaint was referred to tho city engineer. Want Marker's 'Place. The death of janitor Markey, of Tomlinson Hall, makes it incumbent on the Board of Publio Works to select a new janitor. Yesterday morning a number of citizens recommended Frederick Matthews afid Joseph Montgomery for the place. , When tho City Morrows More. Mr. C. A. Kenyon, of the Western Paving Company, asked the Board of Pnblio Works yesterday to pay the city's portion of the South Tennessee-street pavement, amounting to $(J,5V4.W. Mr. Kenyon expects to get the money. The Controversy with English. The Board of Pnblio Works yesterday received a communication from City Attorney Bailey in which ho requested the city engineer to answer a number of questions about the Fast Washington-street pavement.

GRAND "MEN' AND WOMEN." A strong play and an excellent company are at the Grand Opera-house for the first three nights of this week. The play of "Men and Women," as presented by Charles Frohman's company, is as effective and finished a dramatic representation as will probably appear here this winter and was enthusiastically received by a fine audience. The play is strong in its naturalness and is, by many, considered the masterpiece of those well-known dramatists. Belasco and De Mille. The third act is the great one of the play, but it is led up to by quiet but increasing Intensity which chains the attention of the audience from the first The entire act is given with an earnostness and impressivencss that are wonderfully telling and one surprise follows another till tho audience leans forward in breathless attention awaiting the finish of tbe scene. The work of Miss Esther Lyon at the conclusion of the second act was remarkable, but the third act was more exciting and in tbat she met every requirement in a most thrilling emotional scene. - John Woodard as Mr. Pendleton, the deal old bank director, while not entirely a new creation, was certainly very effective, and when the audience caught on to the quality of his deafneRs he was given a great and impulsive round of applause. Theodore Hamilton played Stephen Rodman. Governor of Arizona, with a dignity and force that won him hearty recognition. There are twenty-four names in the cast, and the characters are (all strongly drawn, each having its individuality distinct and clear. Tbe play turns upon the one dishonest act of a young bank cashier, who loans funds of the bank to a friend for purposes of speculation. It gives an insight into the banking business in New York, but from a different stand-point from that made use of in Stuart Robson's 'Henrietta." In fact, "Men and Women'? is perhaps a more finished production than "Henrietta," with greater diversity in its characters. It will be repeated to-night and to-morrow night PARK THEATER "THE RED SPIDER." Mr. Joseph J. Dowltng and Miss Sadie Ilasson. two very popular stars with the patrons of tbe Park, began a week's engagement at the Park yesterday and wero greeted, as a matter of course, by large audiences.

The support is capable and the piece is put on the stage with realistic special scenery. It will be repeated twice daily until Thursday, after Which finothor old favorite. ".Nobody's

Claim." in which Dowling and ITasson first made their reputation, will bo civen. NOTES. The May Russell Burlesque Company will play at English's to-morrow and Thursday evenings.

TENDENCIES OF CHRISTIANITY. Rev. E. G. Ranter Believes that Protestantism 13 Rapidly Becoming Unitarianism. The clericus of the diocese of Indiana met yesterday forenoon at the residence of Rev. W, E. Andrews, on North Pennsylvania Btreet All the Episcopal clergymen of the city were present except Rev. W."D. Engle, who is ill of the grip. Following tho clericus came dinner the clergy being the guests of Mrs. Andrews. Rev, E. G. Hunter, of Holy Innocents Church, read a paper on "A Brief Glance at the Present Tendency of Christian Thought in the Great Body of American Christianity.7' He held that tbe church and the ministry being one with Christ he could not conceive of any human right to change the character or value of any essential truth. In respect of many questions there may be different views held, but even then individuals sh'ould be caroful as to the publio teaching of what may be but an opinion. New light may be thrown upon the interpretation of Scripture and the application of principles and precepts of right living may be according to tbe special needs of the time and be controlled somewhat by conditions, providing no great truth is violated. The doctrine of the incarnation, of the atonement, of justification, of faith, of free will, of forms of baptism, of tho nature of the real presence in the communion and of other questions may be dilierently regarded without sacriticing the ceutral principle of these truths. Jesus Christ is still the great preacher of righteousness. He is still the lamb of sacritice, is still pleading His oflering. in behalf of mankind. He is still ruling over His people. Christ is not now, however, fully exercising His kingly office. This is still in the future. This is the period of redemption. Contrasted with the principles of the church, as realizing the fullness and unchangeableness of the truth, we have what is sometimes called popular Christianity. It is not Christianity. Sectarianism docs not teach Christianity. Christianity is a body of dogmatic truth as well as a law of righteous living. True Christianity is not popular, nor can it ever be made popular. Whenever and wherever it has become popular it has been at the sacritice of essential principles. Christianity rather seeks to guide and control the human will in the way of life. It does not seek to guide man down the stream of time as he floats along towards the ocean of eternity, though speaking words of comfort and directing witu the voico of love, warning of dangers along the way. Rather does Christianity seek to guide np the stream of lite against the current, towards the fountainhead which tlows, as it were, from beneath the throne of God. The great cry of many whs are seeking the growth of the spirit of liberal Christianity is the gospel of humanity. They fail to realize tbat the true gospel of humanity is that of the Lord Jesus Christ, wherein humanity reached its freedom and its life, and that now the true gospel of humanity is that which reveals the person, work and principlesof Christ as essential, as well as His love, and mercy, and pity, and examples of right dealing. Sectarianism does not teach Christianity. Tbe principle is individualism and self-will. The principle carried to its logical conclusion would destroy all organism, and leave each individual to formulate the truth, and hold to that which is in harmony with his will. The various sectarian bodies of prominence hold, nominally, to important essentials of the faith, and because of this, and through the power of the spirit of God, in its universal diffusion, many manifest a spiritual life which should lead our own people to hide themselves in shame. But we do not speak of the special cases. A humanitarian who believes only in Christ as a great religious reformer, but the natural son of Joseph and Mary, may, through the use of his own faculties, manifest a zeal in moral works and works ot philanthropy which would stamp him in the publio mind as a Christian example worthy of imitation. He is but fultilling the conditions of life obligatory by virtue of humanity. He realizes this obligation and the better principles of his nature iniluence hislifo and the world very justly honors him and his work. But yet he may not be a Christian in its true sense. Ho may never have entered the way of life and participates not in the new humanity of tbe risen Lord. Sectarianism does not teach Christianity, and holds a negative rather than a positive position. Every year it is drifting from one position to another, and always with the loss of some guys and stays, and becoming more and more but a system which might bo denominated spiritual hnmanitarianism. There is no longer regarded as essential a single sacrament of the true faith. Baptism is but a sign of what may be withont baptism. Holy communion but excites the memory and stirs up tho soul through & picture. Worship in its trne character lias been almost entirely lost The ministry is but human in its character, and rather represents the people before the throne of mercy tbau the ministry of Christ to tho world. In a word, sectarianism has become but a gretkt educational system, teaching Christian ethics and ignoring tho greater aud essential principles of life. In concluding he said: "Brethren, yon may not reason as I do in your estimate of the church's present greatest needs. You may not have the same convictions of her character as the church of Christ and. hence, of her relation to Protestant bodies. Bnt 1 raise uo questions of this character. My especial point is that which is more and more being recognized that there is a very great tendency at the present day to a popular form of Christianity which can only end in Unitarianism, which is but a system of pure ethics, and that Protestantism is rabidly drifting towards that goal; tbat we are strongly influenced by this spirit and by sectarian influences; that we are doing very little of a real and permanent character to meet tbe drift And I again ask, can we not do more than we are doing? Is it not time that we became more independent of Protestant influences, and realize and teach more clearly the great essential principles of the catholic and apostolic faithf And, at the same time, seek more to reveal that true gospel of humanitv which ie embodied in the church of tho living God, which, legally, is tho Protestant Episcopal Church of this land, but ecclesiastically and canonically the American chnrcbt If tbe time6 are propitious, and we can do more, what can we do! I would suggest that our minds and our energies be bent to the study of the Sunday-school question as of chief importance; but the scnool as tbe nursery of the church. That we do not give a shrug of the shoulder and pass ovor this matter, but that we seek to realize its importance" The paper was warmly commended by all present Funeral of Jacob Cox.
