MONUMENT A BLAZE OF LIGHT

Magnificent Effect of the Big Electric Illuniination. Unique and Beautiful Designs DevelopedDisplay Viewed aud Admired by Thousands. "This im'i much lilt Snnday night, is itT Looks moro to me like Fourth o' Jcly, or something like that." The sper.ker was la the crowd that gathered to see the eleetrio illuminations on the soldiers' and sailors' monument last night, lie waayoocg. and it was evident he was from the country, but his remarks had a smack of loglo to tnem nevertheless. There had been no hoar appointed for the lighting of the shaft, and the crowd began to gather almost as soon as the sun went down. By dart there were thousands of them there, and by 8 o'clock Monument Place was literally packed. Many of them Tf ere itranteri, but the larger part were residents of tho city. The display that they saw was one that has r.ever had a superior. Thero hare been larger ones, but none cjuld be more artistic for a fine appreciative ere. or more pleasing in elleot for those who looked with only the thought of the grand whole and not the detail. From many remarks that were made In the crowd, many of its members bad been to the Columbian ex position at Chicago, where all the ingenuity of man and prodigal wealth has been lavished in making electric displays among the. many other attractions. More than one remark was made that there was nothing in the Whits City that could excel the display of last night. And thero is none. There they are larger, ten to one. but none more beautiful. When the figure of an anchor on the south side of the monument burst forth in its pure white light, brought in bold relief by the darkness of the background, a epontamous "Oh!" of admiration went ud from tho crowd. There were other figures more complicated and showing a variety of colors, but none were received so well as that. All day long yesterday men were working about the monument. It is no small task to get 5,000 lights in position, and a much greater one to get the wires to them. When that has all been done and the current is turned on they are just as apt not to work as they are to. But everything went better than was oxpected last night. At the top of the approaches, one on either aide, at the south of the monument were placed what appeared to be two Urge black boxes. Suddenly in their center appeared a revolving wheel, made ud of diuerent colored lights. With every revolution the-e would ehange, making an effect very similar to the kaleidoaoope, whieh is the delight of all small ehildren. They were the first pieoes of the display to be shown, and they were received with a round of applanse. Nothing of their character had ever been seen in the city before, ana the crowd did not weary of looking at them. Next a square of light shot around tba top of the shaft, just at Indiana's feet, and then the searon lights, which bad been stationed at different points, were made to cast their rays upon the figure. Then the star-spangled banner flashed npon the side of the pile of stone last at the base of the shaft proper. This was constructed of hundreds of tiny incandescent lights arranged to show the national celers. An effect of motton or waving was produced by eacn vertical row going out for a second rotating from one end to the other, and it was this which the crowd asked of itself many" curious questions. A row of white lights ran around the top of the pedestal, and then the figures on either side of it were lighted. On the south side was the anehor, with its broken cable falling about it, It was in pure white, and was dazzling in its bold relief. The sest of the lights had not done much toward illuminating the surrounding placo, but that shed a Hood of brilliant light out over the heads of the people, and brought round after round of applause. On the west and east sides of the pedestal were shields in national colors the north side being vacant. On the south approaoh had been placed a piece of light artillery, a dozen or more stands of small arms, a huge pile of twelve-pound shot, and other objects. From all of theso myriad lights appeared. Lights ran around the wheels, sparkled from the month, and ran along the black line of the ueia piece; a wrotta of lights was hung pendant from each stack of the small arms; a light seamed to glare from every one of the shot in the pile at the top of the approach, and a complete circle of them ran along the uutside of the steps. The lights all over the monument were turned on and off, first this piece nnd then that, and with every reappearance the admiration of the spectators seemed to grow more. The search lights were thrown freni one place to another, and tho whole Circle presented an appearance of fairy land. These displays will be made every night daring the week, and will last until late in the night. Hardly had the lights at the monument been turned off for the night until a huge red light appeared in the sky in the west, borne small boy shouted "Fire!" and started on a run. with a dozen of his fellows at his heels. And tbe crowd went with them, it was fire, but not the kind that the small boy meant. The natural-gas display had been begun on tbe north lawn of the Capitol grounds. There the resldenta of faraway .vtates had an opportunity to witness tbe greatest of all Indiana's natural prodnets. On each side of the grounds a huge four-inch stand pipe rose to tbe height of about fifty feet, and from the top of each, from three prong-like arms, blazed streams of roaring gns. , It was probably a familiar sight to those who Lave seen wells shot, bnt it wan a norel ono to all others. Tho llames made a loud ruanngftound and they sprang from side to tide ns thouirh angry at their confinement. The wholn place for a square around was lighter than in the glarn of the sun. and not a little heat was lmpurted. An attendant at each regnlaleii the How, now turning it oq fall force nnd thin bringing it down to a tiny llame. Thin display will also be given every night, and will not be the least of the week's attractions. ALL OPEN ON SUNDAY. Gambling Houses Run at Full Blast An Unusual Desecration. All the gambling houses in the city were running at full blast lust night, and even to tbe hardened gambler of cities liko Chicago and New York this will eeem very strange. A respectable gambler, if the term can be so used, will never run a faro baukor crap table on Sunday, It is a profanation that many men will not attempt, and it only shows the control that the lawless element has obtained on the city tlrough the favors of Mayor Sullivan. Even where a city has allowed the gambling houses to remain open, there has never been an attempt to run tun rooms on tho Sabbath. For tho most pari the gamblers themselves havo been oppost-d to such desecration. Mayor iSullivan has no compuuetions of this sort, it seems. While he was attending religions services yesterday, the laro banks and crp dives down town were reaping in a harvest of momy from boys who cam down town early and from the strangers that could be enticed into their places. Some of tho tough old "lovea sports" stook their beads and remarked that matters wer going a littl- too fast. "Bill" Trim's, Coy 'a nnd other houses did a big buftiti'S. In the afternoon there were a great n any boys nnd younir men at the places. Cue gambler was heard to remark yesterday that the houses would inuka in or money oil the strangers than the merchants. 7)r Ilnrht;' .It Criticism. Dr. IVjrr, editor of the Eriorth Herald, wasexpeoted to preach at Central-avenue 51. K. Church yesterday morning, but was prevented by Illness. Dr. Buchtl, in the course of his sermon, took occasion to refer to Indianapolis as a "wide-open town." as

wide open, be declared, as the city of Chicago or any other American city of similar reputation, and scored the present eity administration for it failure to deal righteously with these evils. The newspapers, he said, were dally cataloguing for bis pernal places or vice and iniquity, but t. e Mayor seemed indiQerent to wrongs apparent to every citizen. The consistent Jhrtntian citizen, be declared, could not go to the bnllot.bpx this autumn and desUro his willingness that present conditions should continue to exist, lie might be accused of discourtesy in referring to these facts at a time so near the election, but truth was truth, and should be spoken fearlessly and against bad government whenever that exists.

I NEED OP CO-OPERATION. Rev. G. A. Carstensen Deplores the Hide Bound Ecclesiasticism. Rot. G. A. Carstensen . preached at St. Paul's yesterday morning from the text: "So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and be that emootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil." Isaiah xli.. 7. "It is the law ot Nature." said he. "that each thing has its intrinsio peculiarity a life in and for itself. Hat this is only a part of its meaning, and by no means lis grandest part. It is also a member of a general body! and discharges an office as such. For example, we may consider the earth itself as a combination of chemical constituents, an assemblage .of geological or geographical forms, but when we begin to study its adaptations, when we discover how every mountain chain and every sea belong to a great order of mutual demand and supply, we detect in it a sublime significance, it is this that we call tho law of diiterencss. All movement, all life comes from the contact of dissimilar things. The universe is a vast system of exchange. The law is equally apparent when we pass from the physical world to the sphere of industrial aotion. The mor? society advances, the sharper the linesof differences become. There is a growing differentiation of fuuetions. One man, instead of making a whole watch, makes only the three hundredth part of n watoh. Tbe present generation has witnessed wonderful strides along this line of separate functions. Most of us can remember when manufactures were prosecuted on a small seale in every town and village of the Und. But the old spectacle of Longfellow's village blacksmith 'under a spreading chestnut tree' is almost a thing of the past. Great manufactures are concentrated in great towns, and thither the workmen have resorted to work together, not in bands of five or six, bat in troops of hundreds, or even thousands. So there have arisen tbe two great classes those who own the plants aud those who produce commodities; employers and employed, or cupiial and labor. While tho relations of tho two are so intimate, and their interests are really identical, mutual ausptoion exists where there should be confidence; and antagonism prevails Instead of harmony. Mum and more laboring men are becoming a class by themselves. . Eaoh trado has its union, like the guilds of the middle ages. It is right and necessary that they should combine for mutual interest and protection. "The chief reason why the labor of workingwomen is so poorly compensated in comparison with that of men is that women have not the protection which combination in unions afiords. The most humane and honest employers of labor recognize the fact that competition prevents them from giving fair waos unless a strong nmon sets up the scale. When the matter is left to employers, the ambition to eut prices leads to a cutting of wages to starvation figures, and the manufacturer who would gladly pay an honest day's wages for an honest day's work is obliged to diminish the cost of production by reducing wages to that of his less humane competitor. The best remedy proposed by economists is cooperation. This principle is yet in its in ft jy. but its feasibility has been amply demonstrated. 'Coincident with the alienation of tbe two forces of capital and labor, we mark the growing indifference of workingmen to tho churches. Most employers go to church, but in the eyes of their employes most employers are hypocrites. 1 do not say that this is true. I do say that many of them are hypocrites. Not consciously, perhaps, but lroxn want of thought; from considerations of mere selfishness; from a spirit ot mere individualism, the professing Christian business man of to-day has wandered a long distance from the straight line of conduct in which the dieoiple of the Naz-a-ene is supposed to direct his step. Tht-reare men who avow that no one ean adhere to etrict Christian principles and succeed in business. The bermon on the Mount, they say, can never be exemplified in the personal life ot any but tbe hermit or the recluse. There is too much in surface indications, nt least.to make this seem plausible. Our churches are leaving the denser populated quarters of great cities and following th tide of wealth to tho more select portions. There many who avow the disinclination to worship alonsside of the man whom they do not meet in what they are pleased to call 'society.' All this is wrong radically, shamefully wrong. 'lh rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all.' The workingman is not tired of Christ; he is tired of Christians. He does not despise real religion, he does despise shams and hypocrisy. We need a genuine revival of religion: not the revival whieh spends it strength in preaching, and psalm singing, and prayer meeting, but tbe religion which deals with soecirio evils of society and has a philosophy of life as well as a plan of salvation; which prepares men to live, and so hcet prepares them to die; which practices the gospel of wholesome food, purrt water and good air. We need to go back to the rirst principles of Christianity and consign to tbe limbo of oblivion the hide-bound ecclesiasticism which has nsnrprtd the place of pure religion and undented.' " A MYSTERIOUS CASE. Remains of George Havens, who Fell Dead Viewed by thy Coroner. Coroner Beck was called to West Indianapolis yesterday to view the remaius of George Havens, a blacksmith, aged thirtyfive, who died suddenly Saturday night. Havens resided with his wife and two children at No. 23 Linn avenue, and for tbe past two weeks .had been engagel in the mnnnfactnre of horse, shoe souvenirs, which be proposed to sell during tbe encampment. About '6 o clock Saturday night he started out on tbe street to sell bis work and ?ms taken ill. Ho started to the oitire of Dr. Kuflne'r, but fell just as he reached the door, and expired before medio il aid was forthcoming. The result of th post mortum examination revealed nn aggravated attack of congestion of tbe stomach as the cause of death. Kleekamp Rettnr1. F. E. Kleekamp, the Fort Wayne attor ney who was arrested in that city last Tuesday, on a charge of rereonating a United States marshal, and brought to In dianapolis to be retained nntil uturday. and later transierred by Judge Woods, of the United States Court, to loledo. ap peared before tho United States com in m--sioner on Saturday. At the bearing snni cieut evidence against the defendant was not adduced to bind him over, and he was released and returned to k ort Y ayne. L m One fir Ttii.ves. The army of thieves who usually take advantage of lame gatherings to enable them to loot n city, is largely represented in IiiuianaDolis this week, and fair warn ing is given that it will be unsafe for fam ilies to leave their houses entirely un guarded at any time. This is particularly true of parade day. The procession will b Severn! hours in passing, nnd members of families ean relieve each other in viewing the parade aud protecting the premises.
