HEED OF THE PRIMITIVE CHUKCIL Ker. J. A. Mllbora Touches Upon Creeds of the Present liny, Slaking Pertinent Reference. Rev. J. A. Milburn. of the Second Presbyterian Churcb, preached an able sermon, yesterday morning, from the text, "So your mind should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ," II Cor., xi. 3. He explained tbe wisdom of Paul's counsel for the church to maintain the simplicity of the gospel as it was in Christ. Panl knew that whatever additions any church made to the gospel of the Sou of Man would be in the nature of a perversion, and not in the nature of illumination. After considering the simplicity of Christ's gospel and explaining how the church had wandered away from it, he spoke in tbis wise about the creeds of the present (lay: "1 wonder if Christ Jesus would recognize tbe churches that confess His name today as li is chnrch. Think of tbe Koman Catholio Church; and whilst it is c. very great and wonderful institution, whilst it has done a great deal of good in this world and proclaimed the gospel far and wide and exemplified tbe charity that was so conspicuous of the Nazarene, yet bow inhnitely ditlerent it is in its ecclesiastical elaboration, in its rigid bierarobism and in its spiritual mechanism from the church as it was conceived by Christ. Think how foreign many of tbe institutions and theories are to tbo fundamental spirit of Christianity. Where is there a word in all Christ's gospel about a pope, about a vicegerent of God! Where is there a word in all Christ's gospel about a Vatican and a cardinal, where is there a word in all Christ's gospel about bishops and their thrones, about an infallible council, about a body of men who should unerringly declare to man tbe will of Uodf Christ founded His church on f aitb, and love, and hope, not on an elaborate institutionalise, and not upon an intricate infallibility. "Or take tbe Episcopal Church, and, whilst there is very much in it that is beautiful and worthy of our icstbetetio appreciation, whilst its ritual appeals to our artistio sense, and its prayer book is a model in tbe way of pellucid and simple English, yethow this chuvch has perverted the simple theory of the cbnrcb as established by the Son of Man. Where do we read in the word of God about Thirty-nine Articles, about tbe divine rights of the episcopacy, apostolio succession, or about one man being the spiritual superior of anotherf It is a great churcb, no doubt, but it is an addendum to the chureh of Jesus Christ; its teaching is an addendum to liis teaching; its laws, so far as they are peculiar, are an addition to His laws; its institutions, so far as tbey are unique, are an addition to His institutions, and its bishop has usurped His throne. "Or, take the Presbyterian Church, and whilst we all honor tbe Presbyterian Cbureb for the noble and leonine spirit it has shown in conflict, for the battle it has fought for freedom of thought and the rights to interpret the Bible without tbe supervision of a Vatican or a Pope, while we honor the contributions it has made to human liberty and to human right, yet in what ureal measure, too, this Presbyterian Church has obscured the original simplicity of tbe church itself. The Presbyterian dogma is founded on metaphysics; it is founded not on modern but on medieval metaphysics, its cardinal postulate of the sovereignty of God is a grand and noble postulate, but tbe Presbyterian Church in its origin concedes tbe sovereignty of God as a metaphysical sovereignty, a sovereignty whose dominant and controlling attribute was justice. Its cardinal conception is tho idea of an iulinite being, of an infinite power, of an infinite will, of an infinite law, pot a filastio infinity, not a natural and free ntinity. but a logical infinity, and, tbe result has been a metallic- dogma that has been an awful perversion at tunes of the gospel of the Son of God, for Christ's gospel is not founded upon a logical infinity; it is founded upon a loving God who is av Father, a loving God. "And therefore, my friends, tbe need of sotting back to tbis primitive churcb, of doing away with tbe accretions that have been piled upon Christianity through the ages, of doing away with medieval metaphysics, of doing away with the logical infinity, of doing away with man-made episcopacy, of doing away with the infallibility of ecclesiastics, whether the be infallible popes or infallible assemblies, in order that the Lord Jesus may rule once more with an undisputed right over the minds and hearts of man." CURRENT RELIGIOUS TOPICS. Sunday Opening and the Question Underlying the Brlffz Controfenj Xiscnsed. Kev. F. E. Dewhurst's sermon yesterday morning was devoted to the two topics relating to religion whiob have thrust themselves upon pnblio attention the Sunday opening and the Briggs caso. 13 ut for the evasion of a contraol the adoption of the tianclay opening had been a national and bumane solution of the question. The attitude of the ohurches as voioed by tbe persistent opposition to Sunday opening has been that of those people whom Christ rebutted because tbey exalted an Institution over humauity. With the Christian Union, Mr. IsewUurst fears that by the obstinate determination to maiutaiu the traditional observance of Sunday the oburobea have created a chasm between ttieaiselves and the people which it will take more than a quarter of a century to fill. The trial and suspension of Professor Bnggs is more than a conflict in the Presbyterian Cburob. In considering the event it i I better to seek it a cause iliau to indulge in diatribes against bigotry. The question in this matter that lies behind all others Is the question of authority in religion. Wheu Protestantism rejected the authority of the churoh it put the Uihle in its place as authority. No wonder, then, that devoted men fear when thisauthonty is questioned in any respect. It the navigators of a ship disagree about tbe chart, is there not cause for alarm on the part of tbo PASsengers The Bible is tbe chart of the Protestant churches, consequently the mere revision of it is cause for anxiety on tbe part of the churches. But it was the Protestant reformation, not Dr. Briggs, that opened this question of authority on religion. There could not be much difference between the authority ot the church aud of the Bible so long as the people were ignorant and Bibles were few. Hut it is a vair ly ditlerent thing now thai there is a new study and interpretation of the Bible. The 15 1 bio has its authority. All that superstition can do against it cannot make it cease to be the book of books tbe ruv erent imagination and the chastened faith will siug its praises more and more. But what pain and perplexity must come to us if all of the Bible is put upon the same level. What a burden Christianity must carry if it regard every utterance of the Old Testament pages the inviolable word of tbe God whom Jesus revealed to us. Yet those who maintain tbe inerrancy of every word of the Seriptures must hold tho decree ot Joshua "to kill everything, every human being, an l cut tho hamstrings of all horaes," to be equally inspired with that declaration that God notes the sparrow's lall. -The authority of the Bible is not helped by thosrt who make indefensible. In baking, to get to the top, "Take SuT. Elevator." MM Cleveland's baking powder saves time, saves labor, never

claims for it. Better believe a book fallible through human limitations than an infallible book revealing a capricious God for such a being as we should love and trust. . The authority which is greater than all others is the authority of life. There is no more luminous word spoken of Christ than "In him wan life aud tbe life was tbe light of men." The light that is shed on our way by the life that sees, a life that is bathed in light there is nothing equal to that. Jesus spoke with authoritative principles of life rather than with authoritative rules and commands. Christ spake as one having authority. He dealt with the simplest facts and relations of life, but He shed new light upon them, lie did not define doctrines and frame a system lor men, but He brought them by His words aud His spirit into tho presence of tbe Father, and made the world gleam with the presence of God. There is no authority external to His life. He simply spoke what He saw. and was trne to His own experience and His own insights. It was what He saw and experienced, the largeness of His vision, that He had seen the Father, which makes His life authoritative, just as every life is that is true to itself. CONFESSION AND PROFESSION.

Rev. Dr. Itondthaler Points Out the Only Incrrant Guide for Man. Dr. Rondthaler had a large congregation yesterday morning, and preached a sermon reoalllng the recent heresy trial, which, however, was not mentioned by name. The text was taken from Matthew sxvii, SI: "Not every one that saith unto me. Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven." It is not fair, he said, to make religion a child's play; it is not fair to make it a merely nominal perfection. It is not fair to the soul to trust to bare ceremony for its salvation. The profession of Christ is a vow, a covenant, & responsibility. It binds one to do certain things, and to tho expectation that he will live differently from bis former life. Tbere are two words used for the act of entrance into Christian living: confession and the other is profession. He who desires to he admitted to tho evangelical church enters by confession, in profession of bis faitb. One follows the other and is essential to it It is necessary to make faith a life work. It is not fair to the New Testament idea of Christ to make confession and not to carry into profession the praotical Christian life. The life of a Christian, continued tbe preaoher. is not one in subservience to creed. To be bound to creed is the latterday way of saying "Lord, Lord'and gaining no admittance to heaven. Nocreed is as broad as the latter-day conception of the New Testament Christ. Saving faith is not in saying "l believe" in certain things, but in being possessed of certain truths. It is not what one believes, but what one is and does that seoures salvation. Tbe most unctuous Inflection of tbe cry, "Lord, Lord," does not prove that he who calls has faith. It is again not fair to the New Testament to make a code of certain interpretations of human device. Subscription to a code has no saving graoe. The speaker further said that tbe Bible does not lay down a rule for every specific decision in life. Tho man who expects to iind a mechanical rule In the book for every occasion will be sadly disappointed. Christ is the spiritual power that decides each case as it arises. It is a power nurtured by the Holy Spirit. The religion of Christ is one of motives, leading to high ideals. When things call for a decision we do not go to the Bible as to a book of etiquette, but if we havo Christ in our hearts we have an inerrant monitor for our guide. Tbis is the only inerrancy, that of tho Holy Spirit. When one has tbe spirit of Christ he will not ask now near he may approach to tbe danger line and be guiltless. The spirit of God, the only inerrant guido. teaches the line that should be followed. There is no other mediator, neither the churcb, nor the Bible, nor tbe council, nor tbo General Assembly, that is inerrant. Watch yourselves, the preacher said, thatnone rob you of your personal Christ, for "none come to the Father but by me." The Christian life, be continued, is a progressive one in doing the will of tbe Father. In the beginning it is a feeble thing, not more than an aspiration, a homeward thought, it grows to forces of might, bearing fruit of virtue and grace. In Inception it is a wish, in consummation a life, faith should accumulate. It is one thing to accept tbo Bible, but another thing to seize and praotice its truth in every day life. There are sources of helps in the church, in tbe Bible, in the General Assembly, but thereis but one master, even Jesus. No one can be right who deDends upon another for interpretation. Salvation is not a single chronological act, but is the work of development. It bocomes confirmed in the accumulation of faith and the practices of Christian living, it is a contract in which God in Jesus Christ is one party and you are the other. DERESY TRIAL. A MISTAKE. Rev. Dr. Lucas Preaches from tbe Lessons of the Celebrated Ilrlgg Case. . The theme of the sermon of the Rer. Dr. Luoas, at the Central Christian Church, last evening, was "Lessons from tbe Trial of l)r. Bricgs." After first outlining the process and the outcome of the trial, the pastor continued as follows: "Tbe failure of authoritative creeds to keep tbe church united is one step in the progress of their abandonment. The church, two hundred years after the ascension of our Lord, had bo authoritative creed except that which was made through the inspired teachings of the apostles and tbe words of Christ nimself. That was the most prosperous time of Christianity. From tho time of Constantino, men have tried to keep the churoh pure by making speculative confessions of faith, but tbey bave alwayit failed. They make no room for progress, and therefore all reformers are forced, or forco themselves out of churoh relationships, end they go oil and establish new creeds. Faith iu Christ as the Son of Got is of more importance than any dogma about His teachings. The diuiculty is that all creed makers do not make a proper distinction between faith and opinion. Yet a man uioy have faith in the divine Christ and hold erroneous opinions. The way to correct thobe opinions is not by trials for heresy for those opinions, if let alone they will die of themselves. As Gamaliel has said: Mf they bo not of God. they will come to naught, and if they bo of God, man should not fight against them.'" Dr. Lucas spoke on the action of tho Presbyterian presbytery, and outlined the policy of the Christian Church in relation to such cases as follows: "I am often asked what we do with n roan who goes to teaching false doctrine. Let him alone, and he goes oil by nimself. Our confession of faitb, the divine Christ, is so plain, and our people understand the New Testament so well, that they will not support a man who preaches contrary to its teaching. Not long since one ot our leading men, IL C. Carr, began to follow the line of Dr. Briggs. the road that minimizes the place ot God in revelation, and what was the result? His congregation refused to accept his criticisms, and so he went oil with a faction of on churcb, and and be is now preaching for them. Out of a million, one hundred persons were all he influenced by his theories. The mistake is the attempt to try a man for heresy by a great body like tbe Presbyterian assembly. If Dr. Briggs bad challenged the soriptnrnl right of tbe assembly he would have held them at bay and stood on solid ground." RAILROAD MEN AND THE CHURCH. Rev. A. N. Thompson Sends Out Circulars and Gets a List of Replies. Kov. A. N. Thompson, of the Seventh Presbyterian Church, last night made a special talk for railroad men. Some time ago Mr. Thompson seut out two hundred circulars to railroad men in various branches of the service, of which the following is an extract: v Why do so many railroad men bold themselves aloof from Christianity! Is tho troubio with tbe church! If so, what Is it! I ani very deMrou of Undine out how thU mutter lies :u the minds of railroad men, and will consider it a great favor if you will report to me, citLer your own explanations or those which you hear from other, why so many railroad men ani their families are ai.-eci iroui church aud do not enter actively upon the Christian life. To tho two hundred letters snt out he received eighty-sis replies, una from these roplieu he t;lun.d tbo facts upon which to bas two lectures upon the subject. Last Sunday uight ho read some of tho replies received, an i the rjdsons given by railroad men tbeniHelvo why tby ami their families are pot ruoro r-gulnr attendants at church. Of these replies, nineteen say that

Sunday work keeps them away from the church: sixteen say that it is because of tbe lack of a cordial reception and personal interest in them, and that the fault is more or less with the church; nine ot them affirm that railroad men almost universally believe in God, and are religions men to a larger extent than is generally believed; sir attribute it to their rough work and unchristian associations; five say that, owing to irregular life, the railroad man drifts away from Christ throuah neglect and his own carelessness; five say that their love of home keeps them with their family when off duty; three say that their love of the saloon and "bum life" keeps him away; four say that it is force of habit, the conscience becoming hardened; four affirm that there is no troubio with the churoh, that tbe railroad men honor the church as tbey were taught to at their mothers' knees; one says the trouble is all with the church; three say the sermons are too long and the services too dry; two say that they are Koman Catholics, and can always find time to attend church when they are in the city, but don't know why their Protestant brothers cannot; two say they belong to labor unions which meet on Sun day; one says he don't like the creeds and doctrines of the churches, and one says he has begun to think that a man ean't be a railroader and be religious. In commenting upon the replies the pastor said the statements were all thoughtfully made and in the main correct, and each deserved the serious consideration of tho church. Many of tbe objections, be said, need some explanation; but few of the statements can be denied. The second branch of the lecture was under the subhead "The church needs railroad men; railroad men need the church." Under this line he eaid: "The churcb needs railroad men only as it represents Christ's need and desire for the service of every one, and a it is the organization through whiob our Heavenly Father's lore is urged upon tho world that needs a father's love, bo far as the church in particular is concerned, we need you to help ns correct the evils of which you speak in your replies. These evils, whioh we cannot deny, these statements are sadly true, and we need you to help remedy them. The railroad man needs the churoh. l ou need it only as it represents Christ Bo far as it fails to represent Christ, you do not need it, nor does any other man.'1 Plymouth Church Song Servloe. Plymouth Church was crowded last night by an audience called out by the announcement of a song service aside from the regular sermon. The musical portion of the programme opened with the organ selection "Marche Bolenelle," by Mr. Donley. Miss Joyce sang a beantiful solo, entitled, "Glory to Theo, my God, this Night," followed by Walther's prize song, from "The Meistersingers." and a violin solo rendered by Mr. W. C. Stern. The programme was concluded with the solo, "Abide with Me." by Miss Messlug, witb violin obligato by Mr. Stern. The musio was particularly appropriate throughout. Dr. Cleveland Preaches on the Briggs Case. Rev. Dr. Cleveland preached a masterly sermon yesterday at the Meridian-street Church, touching upon tho value ot scientino truth and recalling the Briggs case. His congregation was greatly edified and pleased, and were enthusiastic in their praises of it. A collection was taken before tho discourse for the benefit of the H. S. Hilton Children's Homo Society, realizing a handsome sum.

THE! WILL USE THE BALLOT. Thd Anti-Liquor League of the Central-Avenue llethodist Church II olds a Meeting. The services at the Central-avenue Methodist Church" last evening were devoted to tbe interests ot the Anti-liquor League of that congregation. This league was formed during the months of the winter, and has for its fundamental principle the fighting of the saloon and all that per tains to it. It proposes to do this through tbe medium of politics, and its members are pledged not to vote for any candidate of any party unless that candidate has first given his promise to support existing laws in relation to temperance and to work for the establishing of new ones. Tbe league seeks, it says, members from all parties, and hopes to establish itself in some strength in time for the coming campaigns. Dr. Bucbtel. the pastor of the church, explained the purposo of the meeting and spoke in part as follows: "The formation of this league is for the enforcement of all existing laws for the suppression of the vice of alcoholism and the establishing of new ones tending toward that end. We seek to gaiu people from all parties, and we ask them to eome to ns and assist us in tbis great work. The amount of crime in Indianapolis at the present time is something which is appalling, yet the officers of the eity seem to think there is no particular importance attached to the fact that a murderis perpetrated one hour after the law closes the gates of hell, and it is time that something was done to draw their attention to it." Tho first speaker who was introduced was Dr. L. IL Dunning. His theme was on the place which women have in the work of temperance. He said that women at the present period of time ruled society una that that gave them a position wbero they could to a great deal in doing away with the evil oi intemperanoe. They, bo said, could do away with the punch bowl at popular receptions, and they could ostracize the man who secured his punch somewhere else and then came to where they were with its effects apparent He believed, however, that women would do better and more efficient work if tbey would spend less time criticising the legislation of men and do more practical work. He said that the place where they failed most was in the case of fallen women. Her more virtuous sisters, he said, were the very ones who pushed her deeper into the mire, instead of ollering to elevate her to tbe position which she bad lost. He said that the class of women which the exposures of Dr. Parkhnrst had revealed were responsible for more young men learning the liquor and other bad habits than most people were aware of. and he thought that it was the work of women to remedy the evil done by woman. The speaker in rather harsh terms called to tbe attention of his hearers some recent occurrences in this city, which he held up as awful examples. He was followed by Hal Hitter, one of the young men of the church. He spoke at some length on the evils of intemperance, arraigning the saloon element as tbe cause of a larger portion of the crime and disaster in the country. He said that the reason that the crusades against this element bad not bocn successful was because they had gone in an unorganized condition to meet a force that was more than well organized. He said that the purpose of the league was to do away with this disorganization on the part of prohibitionists and to right tho saloon man m his own style. Tbe congregation was also addressed br Lieutenant Macintosh, late of the United States navy. His remarks were along the same line as those of his predecessors. After the conclusion of his talk all present were asked to sign applications for membership, and blanks for that purpose were handed around. Thero were quite a number of signers. POSED HIM WITH CAREOLIO ACID. William Moore Eet TJpcn by Two Men and Viciously Assaulted No Robbery. William Moore, a hostler, twenty-three years of age, residing with his mother at No. 74 South Delaware street, was the victim of a vicious assault by two men last night. Moore says be was passing along West Market, near Tennessee street, when two men sprang upon him from behind and threw him to tbe ground. While they held him down one of the men poured eome carbolic acid in bis mouth. After this, both men sprang to their feet and lied. There was no attempt at robbery, and Moore nays ho knows of no enemies be might have that would seek this kind of a rovengo. lie was able to reach bis home, aud Drs. Thrasher and Tuttle summoned from the City Dispensary. The physicians say that about two drachms of tbe drug had been given, but they succeeded in relieving the patient, and thero is no doubt of bis recovery.

Prosperity of the Wholesala Grocers Work on New Factory Euildings Wool Dealers Complaiuin Industrial Aotes. It is stated by those well informed that there has never been a timo in the history of Indianapolis when so large a number of carpenters were employed and were better paid as at tbo present time, and the same remark will apply to bricklayers. In this connection it is stated that tho number of expensive bouses going up on some of the principal streets was never before as large. Thomas Taggart has removed the house he has resided in on North Tennessee street to another lot, and will in its place erect a house whioh will cost $18,000 or more. John Pearson, who sold bis house on North Meridian 6tret, will build, just south of tho one sold, a $16,G00house. Victorliackushas the plans and specifications prepared for an $18,000 structure on tbe lot just south of his present residence. F. D. Appel is putting on the finishing touchos to a bouse which cost 15.000. Charles F. ayles is just completing a bouse which cost $18,000. Col. Eli Lilly has the foundation in for a bouse which, it is said, will be one of the most costly and handsome in the city. Work on it is being pushed. A half dozen others could bo mentioned who are figuring on pIaub to eroct houses costing from 15,000 to rushing Their New Buildings. On June 1 the erection of the new shops of A. A. Barnes, proprietor of the Udell woodenware works. North Indianapolis, was commenced, contractor Conrad Bender having fully one hundred men at work on Saturday. The building will require 700,000 briok, and is to be ready for occupancy in sixty days from J une 1. Contractor McGafTey, with about fifty men, began work on the new shops of Dean Brothers, corner of First street and the Big Four tracks, on June 1. About 800,000 briek will be required for this building, and it is to beyeady for occupancy Sept. L The Central 'Cycle Company is getting the material for its now buildings on the ground, and will begin their erection in a few days. The main building will he 195 feet long by feet wide, built if brick and resting on a stone foundation. Duthie & Daggett, manufacturers of fine tools, will this week let the contract for their now building, which will be erected in the Ingalls suburb, on tbe Bee-line division of the Big Four. Tbe main building will be 150 feet long by 40 wide and two stories high, constructed of brick resting on a stone foundation. Khody Shiel has given the contract for bis new block on Indiana avenue to Jungclaus & Schumacher, who already have tho stone foundation tn and will commence laying brick tbis morning. It will roquiro 250,000 brick for the building. Prosperous Wholesale Iloutes, One of the wholesale grocers of the city, in conversation recently, said that persons who bave not looked into the matter are unaware of the great growth of business with tbe wholesale grooers of this city. There are now twelve first-class bouses of this character. Five years ago the wholesale grocers of Indianapolis did $5,000,000 of business. Last year they crowded $7,000.000, and he was very confident that unless some unforeseen financial trouble came over the country in the year 1W3 thoy would do 3,000,000 business, leading Cincinnati handsomely. When asked where the increase oame from he said that the development of the naturalgas territory of Indiana had helped to increase trade. Then tbe residents of Indiana every year are living better. Farmers who years ago would seldom have luxuries on their tables now buy dried fruits, canned goods and dozens of other articles which come under the head of xancy groceries. This wholesale grocer eaid that tho business of tho house with which he is connected had the first five months of this year run 25 per cent, ahead of any former first five months of ft year in the twenty or more years he had beeu in business, and he had talked With others of the wholesale grocers and all spok of their trade as having been in excess of the lirst five months of 1S02. Tho Wool Dealers Blue. The woolen mills are running about onehalf their capacity and speak of the future as being decidedly clondy for tho woolen goods dealers. S3. F. Galloway, one of the largest wool buyers in tbe State, says in the thirty years he has been in business he has never bought wool at so low figures us at tbo present time. He is buying tho best clip at 13 cents and much of the wool brouubt in at 12 to 15 cents, a price whicU no one would have thought of fivo years ago or even two jears ago. He then showed a letter from Keyser &. Fisler, the largest wool dealers in Philadelphia, in whioh they cautioned him against buying wool except on a free-trade basis. And. said Mr. Galloway, this means a good deal for the wool growers of Indiana and Kentucky, as in these btates tho best grade of wool grown is found. If such wool as that of Indiana and Kentucky sold so low what would the growers of a poorer quality of wool get for their produot, he asked. Industrial Notes. The sewers now under contract, to be built this year, will require 2.000.000 oriole in their construction. Tbe Jenny Electno Motor Company last week sold an eieotrio-light plant, to cost 9.000, to a town in Cuba. The Indianapolis belt and machine works are putting into the now buildings ot D. Kauh & Sons a fifty-horse-power engine. Dean Bros, last week shipped a mon ster air pump and condenser to Hartford City for one of the paper mills in that city. Thero were bandied for the manu factories located on tbe Belt road in May by Belt-rood engines, 2,004 loaded cars. A file manufactory is one of the new industries in the city. The company is starting up on a limited eoale and will expand as the business increases. Tbe lounae manufacturers claim that their business whs never better. Tbey nre finding no trouble in disposing of all the product thoy can turnout. Knight & Jillson have leased for a term of years tho large building on outh Pennsylvania street owned by ex-l'resident Harrison and ex-Governor Porter.

factory. The oompany has leased rooms in the ilaoeisen lilook, on Pearl street, and is said to be tarningoat some very creditable work. The Indianapolis packing houses bare, since the summer killing season set in. March 1, slaughtered 92.500 hogs, against 133,200 for the corresponding three months of 1802. The Home bakery has got its new plant in operation, and is turning out goods that are a credit to this new enterprise, which is . already giving employment to forty or more people. The Indianapolis cabinet works are employing a considerable number of women, and lina that in light work, such as puttiug apartments inV desks, glueing, etc., they accomplish more in a day than will a man, being loss clumsy aud quicker in action. Tbe proprietors ot the maohine shops and foundries report no improvement in their business, and say it is the dullest times with them in the last twelve years. For the last ten years the iron workers of Indianapolis have had Unbroken prosperity. The Vandalia and tbe Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton engines, which are on exhibition at the world's fair, are equipped with the locomotive eloctrio headlight, manufactured in this city, and the lights are proving quite an advertisement for Indianapolis. IL It. Smith, general agent of the Oliver chilled plow works at this point, says that the last three mouths there have been shipped from the Indianapolis distributing bonse 15 per cent, more plows than In any like period sinoo the house was established. From this he judges tbo farmers are in good shape financially. Chandler & Taylor are patting in a sev-entyfiveborse-power engine and one-hun-dredhorse-power boiler for the new works of tho Indianapolis Foundry Company on the West Bide; also, a forty-borso-power engine and boilers for tbe Clay Shingle Company at Monteznma. an enterprise controlled by IndianaDolitaos. The Parry Manufacturing Company in the month of May shipued 7,032 fourwheeled jobs and 5.204 carts. D. M. Parry, president, says it is the best May business the company has done in the eight years it has been in operation, and what is the more surprising, the company's collections have been unusually prompt. Notwithstanding tbe fact that one of the largest liouring mills in the city was shut down through May to be overhauled, thelndianapolis mills turned out more Hour than in May. The millers hear very favorable reports of tbo 'outlook for the new wheat crop. Superintendent Mansfield, of tho Indianapolis & Viocenues road, aays the wheat never looked better on that line, and by next week the farmers will begin cutting. The Sinker-Davis Company shipped last week to Lindalo, 0., a IGO-horge-power boiler for tbe new shops tho Big Four is erecting at that point. One or the proprietors says that, while in the machine shop and foundry business is qniet, tbey nre baying a big trade in sawmills to go South. Last week they shipped one of their largest mill! to Nashville. Tenn.. another to Frier's Point, Mibo.; one to William?, Ark., and a fourth to Carter, Wis. The Butter and Egg Association, of Ohio and Indiana, which convenes in this city on Juno 14, is to be an important meeting; The local dealers have soc tired the Board of Trade room, and it is expected several hundred dealers in these products will be present. A Large delegation is coming from New York and Boston, and then going from here to the world's fair. As Indianapolis now ranks at the head as a shipping point of these products, tho importance of tbe meeting can bo better understood. Tbe proprietors of tbo Indiana, the Standard and tbe Central Picycle works all roport business at a maximum volume. The three concerns employ about one thousand men and are troubled to nil their orders. Said one of the proprietors: "There is something about tbis which I cannot oxplain, unless it is that Indianapolis was one of tho first cities to come into prominence as a bioycle manufacturing point At other places where there are works of this character they are shutting down for want of orders, and several companies wbieh bave been formed and proposed to build extensive works bave abandoned such enterprises." Machinery on the Farm. Philadelphia Itecord. The loss of time by the nse of dull tools, or of implements not adapted for tho purposes to wbiah they may be applied, compels tbo farmer to hire morn help than should be the case if he was alivo to the opportunities ottered by labor-saving appliance. A comparison of the old-time method of cutting the wheat with the scy tho und by the present method of cutting and binding the wheat with the burvehter, is sutticiout to show. that the enormous crops ot i-beat could not now be urown aud harvested under old systems. The labor that once assisted in the Holds has been transferred to tho workshopn, more lnrchuuics aud fewer farm laborers being the result. The fact that wheat nnd corn sell at lower prices than formerly does not imply that tho profits are b ey. Tho expenso of omi bushel of wheat before the introduction of tbe newest improved machines was more than tbe selling prices of to day, und tho profits were as small as at tha

A comparison of profits will show that laborsaving machinery enables tbe farmer to secure larger profits now than in former days and that the work is less ardnocs and fatiguing. The farmer of half a century ago wai daily on the watch, for ralns'and sunshine, and he was also compelled to face delays that often involved the loss of the entire crop, but at the present day he cuts and binds a whole held alone, riding on a seat, and can accomplish in a few hours tho work that required several days for ms ancestor to perform, and ho can plow, cultivate and barrow his corn by riding. Potatoes are now cnt up for eied, planted, covered and harvested by machines, aud tbe hay ii loaded upon the wagon while the horses are walking along the wind rows. Vehicles are also lighter and stronger, and tho manure can bespread over tbo ground by an attachment to the wagon. A glance over the field will show a most wonderful progress in tbo invention of machinery aud appliances to be used on tbe farm, which places farming within tha reaoh of many who could not otherwise perform the neoeasary labor, and. strango to say, the wagesof farm laborers are higher than before, for improved implements have assisted many of them to work lot thomselves.
