It takes more than eight inches of snow, which at present cover the campus, to kill the love for the sport. The boys have started tbo indoor games. A league of four olubs will 6oon be in active operation, and some exciting games are anticiJated. Sorin Hall bas not been invited to oin them, and consequently will not expend valuable time in selecting and practicing a team, but will wait until the spring and will then meet their foes with tbe bat and ball, and not with the broom-handle and corn bag. liert Inks, tbe famous lefthanded pitcher of tbe Brooklyn club, and who is also an old student of this place, is expected back to resume his studies in a few days.

EVEN THE MERCURY FROZE

Too Cold in tho Northwest for Any bat Spirit Thermometers to Record. Fifty Below in Manitoba, and Twenty to Forty In the Bakotas and MinnesotaNot the Kind of Cold That Hurts, UoweTer. 8r. Paul, Minn., Jan. 15. Cold weather has become something of a rarity in the Northwest, that is, the cold weather that hurts, for it takes & cutting wind usually to make cold weather most noticeable and most unendurable. This week has been one of the coldest ever experienced in the entire Northwest, but there bas been little or no wind stirring and a great part of the ordinary discomfort was absent. The last very cold winter was four years ago, when the groat Dakota blizzard caused over two hundred deaths; but during that metnorablo January the worst thing about the weather was the penetrating, cutting winds that so blinded those who were out doors that many lost their way and were frozen to death. It is very noticeable in the present cold snap that no lives have yet been reported lost. There may be scattered fatalities before the weather moderates, but tbe terrible results of 18S3 can scarcely be looked for. The present cold is of the intense variety that compels carefnl bundling np against possible perils, but there is little or no enow on the ground in this section. Further to the north and west there , has been some snow, but it Is very light. , To-day there were slight flurries of tbe beautiful that seemed bat the crystallization of the. frost king's breath, but nothing like a heavy snow-fall bas been reported from any part of this Stato. Last night was probably the coldest of tbe season, and it is doubtful whether there will be a night equal to it for some years. Tbe mercury went down until it froze in many localities, in fact, all through the northern part of the State, in Manitoba. North Dakota, and in the Canadian Northwest the temperature ranged from BO3 to 50 below zero, on spirit thermometers. In this -city it recorded itf0 below at the weather bureau, and in various parts of tbe city thermometers recorded from 5 to 10 lower. At 9 o'clock this morning it was 4(3 below at Pembina, in the northern part of North Dakota. Fergus Falls reported S0J below this morning, and being the sixteenth consecutive morning with the mercury below zero. Bismarck reported temperature at 24 below, St Vincent 40 below. Moorehead 28 below and Winnipeg 42 below. In this city to-night the temperature down town was 10a below; while in the more exposed parts of tbe city, in the residence portion, it ran down 5J to 10- lower. A heavy enow-storm is reported at Elkpoint, S. D., but here it is clear and cold. Local Forecasts. For Indianapolis and Vicinity For the twenty-four hours ending 8 r.

Tbe following letter from Cardinal Gibbons to Gen. George D. Johnston is made public to-day: "Baltimore, Jan. 11. "My Dear Sir In reference to our conversation this morning, and prescinding from all political aspects of the case, 1 wish to express to you the hope that the efforts of those who, like yourself, are opposing the renewal of tho Louisiana lottery charter, will result in the suppression of tbe evil that now rests on the fair State of Lquisiana. "I heartily commend every movement in favor of public morality, virtue and honesty, and it seems to me that the question, Shall the Louisiana lottery continue, under the law's protection, its scandalons bnsinessf is pre-eminently one of morality; and virtue. The practical working ot the company tends to enrich tbe few at the expense and misery of the many, to tempt the poor, and those who can as little afford it, to squander their earnings the only support of dependent mothers, wives and children in the vain, delusive, tantaluslike hope of one day becoming possessors of a winning number, and often times, it is not unknown, that the fever of gambling has impelled many to theft and dishonesty for the means of another venture of purchasing another ticket. A business whoso plain, manifest, inevitable revolt and influence en tbe people is such, is indeed an enemy to the honesty and peace of any community, to tbe happiness and comfort of home and to individual thrift ana enterprise, and it is the duty of every upright citizen and earnest Christian to aid in ita dethronement and suppression. 'Christian charity. and natnral philanthropby alike dictate that we remove from the nnwary pitfalls of destruction and withdraw the innocent aud weak from temptation. Those bent on suicide should bo restrained. The bnrnlng fagot should be snatched from tho child's hand. That tbe Louisiana lottery, as it is presented to us, proves a snare and a delusion to thousands, and is destructive of peace of mind and energy of action, so necessaryo pursue honorable careers aud to properly acquit oneself of life's duties, we cannot doubt. The daily operations of the scheme make tbe point clear. Worthy, then, of praise and commendation are tbey who strivn to quicken tbe public conscience and I to array public sentiment against the con-.

The Journal is first of all a newspaper. Its primary object is to pub lish the news, and to secure this it spares no pains or expense. Beside3 the service of two great news agencies, which cover foreign countries as well as the entire United States, it has a corps of Special Correspondents, who give attention to those events and occurrences that are likely to be of particular interest to the Indiana public. Its Washington bureau was established for the parpose of looking after matters in which the State and its people are concerned, and is under the management of an Indiana man well acquainted with the local business and political' iisues. It has a correspondent in every town of importance in the State, and is constantly increasing its facilities for obtaining information from every quarter. Its staff of city reporters is large, and its local departments are unexcelled. As a newspaper it is far better, equipped than any other in the, State, and welcomes comparison Vith its contemporaries in any and all of its departments. With all it endeavors to' be accurate and trustworthy, printing: the news, whatever it may be, without personal or partisan bias.
