L. P. Custer Makes an Address Before the Pi-ogres Club. Mr. I. P. Custer, of St. Louis, discussed socialistic and single-tax views before the Progress Club yesterday afternoon. After a few preliminary remarks, expressing pleasure at meeting1 old acquaintances, and the telling of, a funny story, as illustrative of results that would possibly accrue from his inexperience In the role of lecturer, the speaker began his address by saying that throughout the civilized, world the ferment of thought had reached such a stage of activity that material results might be expected In the near future, and, in fact, material results had already been had In the far-ofT land of New Zealand, where, according to ofllcial reports of the American consul, revolutionary changes in taxation had taken place which had had such a stimulating effect ufo;i the fortunes, of the colony that she was the single exception of the whole group of English dependencies ir AunralasU that had not passed through a crisis of hard times and severe industrial depression. Taking up the subject "Competition," it was stated as being apparently an insignificant term, but that It was of vital Importance when logically examined. "Competition," sail he, "hu greater influence for evil or good uion the Interests of the masses than any other single attribute affecting our social relations. It acts on production and exchange like the blood of the human body. When diseased, In either case, eruptions appear on the surface, and as eruptions have long since appeared on the surface of the body iolltic, it was a sure sign that a remedy was needed. What shall that remedy be? 13 u practical-question." The speaker said he thought the doctor who would prescribe the remedy had Ixen discovered and "it may be that he will be calltil Into consultation sooner than many of us anticipate." "Society cinnot stand still." said he; "it must go forward r backward. The question 'is what Is progress and what Is retrogression? Two schools of thought are abroad in the land leaching the people to look forward to a better liscal system through the adoption of their Ideas. One stand!) for the obliteration of competition and the other would foster it. The first is caJlel socialism; the other slngle-taxlsm. Tnere can never be political atiiliatluii between the two schools, because one means centralization, the other L'centraliz ition; oni? means j-ower and abuse of power in u few hands, the other a simplitied government, wh.ise chief functions are the conservation of human right.; one. In effect, meins liamiltonianlsm. the other Jeffersonianism." The address was delivered In four divisions: Socialism as the eliminator of competition; Single-taxation um ine conservator of competition; The disastrous t fleets of competition under present conditions; and Whit will lo the effects of competition under free conditions the absence of monopoly in n.itural sourer:? of wealth? Tne s; e.iker read from llell imy's "looking llackwurd" to show what miht he expected under a socialistic re-rime, and made the statement that the work is a practical illustrator of the working details of a socialistic government; that, in fact, If competition Is to be obliterated and a medium of exchange done away with and the wealth that is produced, under forms of compulsion, divided equally, without distinctions, then Uellamy's plan is the only plan that can be followed. Organize the producers and adopt rules ftr strict discipline. From such a government nothing but despotism, sooner or later, could be expected, because, said the speaker, "the few into whose hands the affairs of state and maintenance of discipline are placed are themselves fallible un 1 victims of unjust and corrupt social environments." epotlsm. alone, would cause discord Immediately and lead to crimination nnl recrimination, and eventually eonfuMon that only force could suUlue. ltuckle was quoted as saying th.it there never was a class vested with ixnver that did not abuse it. Turning to slnxle tax. th,? speaker elaborated on the principles of Henry (.Jeorge and brought out the strong points in favor of the doctrine. Turning to the third division, he graphically described the effects of competition under present conditions and wound up the address by a further elaboration of single-tax philosophy and how its adoption as the ilseal policy of the government would transform the principle of competition into a bene'.loent attitude of a higher civilization and work a regeneration of the moral and intellectual condition of mankind. Referring to agriculture, the speaker sid: "Thinking people should never lo-se sUht of the fact that the great farming industry, together with mining, lumbering and stock raising, is the foundation of the uci il structure, and to neglect it or weaken it by imposition of whatever character is to lay violent hands on the body politic if and threaten its downfall. Therefore, every inducement that society can offer 'should be extended t rural popu?a;ions. to the end inai ineir nr.- may t.e r.-n U red more endurable and the incentive to remain nude more certain." As a beluver in the doctrine promulgated by Henry Otorge. the speaker thinks that the single tax will bring about this happy result to the farmers. Two LnrileN In a Itutiu wny.

METHODS OF THE A. P. xY.

Iiev. J. Y. Wilson, of Mayflower Church, Tells oi" Then. He Also Discourses Upon tho EflVcts of the Saloon rower Another .Sermon on (ioo;t Citizenship. The attitude of the A. P. A. and the ecret work It is fioir.g were subjected to the comments, yesterday morning, of Kev. J. ". Wilson, p.istor of the Mayflower Congregational Church. Mr. Wilson also spvke at some length on municipal citizensnip, dwelling rn the effect of saloon power. The sermon was in anticipation of the series of good citizenship meetings at Tomlinson Hall. Mr. Wilson had as a text the familiar "Render unto Caesar the things that are Ca-sar's, and unto (Jud the things that an- God's." He held that ioIitlcs is a legitimate field for the practice of Christian principles. One of th; chief duties of the Christian is to protect the sanctity of the Habbath, he said, then showing that the strong nations of the earth are those which respect the Sabbath and enact laws to protect its sanctity. He believed it to be the duty of all good citizens to let their Mayor and the police oh'icers know that the people were with them in the strict enforcement cf the laws. IJvery man should not only have the privilege of voting, but he should be required to vote. After speaking of the manner of Influencing men to do good, he minister referreil to the A. I A. as follows: "Most of you have heard of the A. P. A. Its name Is well Kuited to the principles upon which It claims to be founded, but it i -ems in advised when we consider some or its workings. Some of the avowed rurlKees are opiusItkn to the union of church and state; the perpetuation of civil and religious hbvrty; the publication of roIities by putting only honest and capable men in otllte and the restriction of immigration to those who will not be a detriment to the country. Grand principle. They are the principles of every loyal American citizen. I he special reason for the existence V. the A; K A- ,s tne attack that some i.oman Catholics have made on our free institutions. We all know that rnanv Catholic are hostile to our public schools, and uire to have their own sectarian schools supported at public expense. We also knowthat in some cities thev are using municipal machinery for sectarian puirosos. Catholic policemen In Chicago last summer would not allow Protestants to preach on the streets. Two-fifths of our standing army are atholks. Probably thev are aiming to get control of the United States, and if they should Protestants would not always get justice at their hands. Hut. serious as tnis problem sometimes appears, it is no e.xcV;He f0 ,the extreme methods of the l A. This country has never received much benefits from know-nothing parties. As one writer says: 'Secrecy will always bring a political society under suspicion. Men will feel that If It aims at fair play it need not work in the dark. The cause of truth is advanced, by expof-ing the evils which men are ever seeking to hide. Its method Is publicity and free discussion. The best way is to llsht darkness with daylight. The A. P. A. has also used the weapon of misrepresentation far too freely to give it the reputation of ling a movement in the interest of good citizenship. I cannot have much confidence in a political organization that is guilty of flooding the country with such prciosterou3 literary forgeries as have come into our hands within the last two years, with the purport of being authentic circulars of instruction to Catholics coming from the Pope und high dignitaries of the church. The most astonishing of these false documents Is a forgery known as an encvcUcal of pope Leo sent out to Jesuits and others." The ndnlster here detailed the forgery in which the Pope was purported to have urged the Catholics now to take control of America, as it belonged to them by right of Christopher Columbus's discovery. "The bare-faced forgery has been published in a number of anti-Catholic papers, and the worst of it is that thousands of American voters have accepted it as a genuine letter of the Pope. It is high time for the Christian people who love fairness and justice to spak out against such injustices as are being perpetrated against the Catholics of th country. It is not the part of American citizens to seek the perpetuation of its institutions by adopting methods that are un-American. Why should we discriminate against Catholics in employment or at the polls, simply because they are Catholics? It is contrary to the spirit of our institutions to discriminate against one chss of citizens on account of these citizens' religion. What if Chicago has a Catholic Mayor? He 13 the first one it has ever had. and there are a half million Catholics in that city. What If President Cleveland has appointed a Catholic Justice of the Supreme Court? He is only the secord one to hold such an olilce. and there are ten million catholics In the United States. Why shouldn't we have Catholics among our public school teachers, if we want Catholics to give up their system and join with us in the support of free schools?" Mr. Wilson then spoke of the Influence of the gamblers and saloon keepers in municipal affairs. "Probably not one-half of the saloon keepers In Indianapolis could renew their licenses if the laws we have should be strictly enforced, for they could not prove themselves to be of frood moral character. Iet the moral forces of the city combine and organize themselves into municipal leagues, working for the strict enforcement of the law. Let them aid the authorities in the detection of the violators of the law, and it will be easier then to enact the laws. The most sensible and practical movement that I know anything about In the line of temperance reform Is that which has been Inaugurated by the anti-liquor leaguers." A Sermon on Ciooil ('it Ikc nmlilp. Rev. H. Roberts, pastor of Fletcher-place Church, last night preached a sermon on good citizenship. He urged all church members to go to the primaries and take a part In the selection of delegates to nominating conventions. He deplored the fact that people generally considered the attendance cf primaries an Implied pledge to suport the nominee of the convention. "This system of pledges," he said, "is a wicked heresy that should be blotted out of American politics." He characterized money as the devil in American politics. On the subject of the Indifference of some people, he said: "Some get themselves on the pinnacle of the temple of morality and look down with pity and contempt uion those who are struggling with the tilth and dirt of this world, and say they never vote because the pool is too dirty for them to dabble in. Such may be good people, but cannot be good citizens." POST CONVENTION NOTES. How Mr. Shillinsr's Friend Saved the Nomination for Him. Yesterday was the first day for a long time that a Republican candidate could not be seen on every street corner. They have worked long and faithfully, and were, no doubt, re.dlng and enjoying the pleasures of a day at home with their wivts and children for the first time for several months. The lat w-tk of the campaign was an exceedingly trying one, and the long hours of the convention nude many a delegate tired. It is not generally known that had it not been for several of his enthusiastic friends Mr. William I'. Shilling would have not been the nominee for recorder. After the first ballot Mr. Shilling feared that he could not develop sufficient strength to be nominated. n two occasions bet'otv the next ballot was completed Mr. Shilling started to mount a chair to withdraw his name. bDt his friends pulled him down into his seat and held him there. No one person mad" as much amusement for the crowd at the convention as Kmmtt Sec ry when he was calling the vote. There had In en a treat deal of trouble In distin. gulshing nani'-s wiu-n called fivm the middle of the hall by the callers. It was h;ild K distlr.gui.-u Kr::us from GndT and i:... well and Cosier caused considerable confusion. The Ouiir had several times retpusied iliat In calling the Vole the Christian name of the candidate b givia In irises where there was any si:.o;.t ;iy in the sound d' the liatnev, but ii i't- r a i --v. j i -i iiuts had been called tie cal'ef Would relapse into the old habit of raving only the family name. When Knur.ett ry was aked to take the pi. lie an 1 tali a while he said he would g:" the names so they could not b- mistaken. His voice rang out clear and distinct all ,r tie h .ui--that Hit re was very littb povi;iojty f mistaking a name. He would gi- e.uh one a eculiar twang that would distinguish it from all others without tne necessity of Living the baptismal nuiae. This peculiar-

ity was the cause of all the merriment. Kvfry time Shufelton was called It would b two or thre minutes before the laughing would subside suificlently to proc-ed with the call. He would begin the name with a kng-drawij nasal sound on the s-h and finish t h syllable with a loud txploiv. almost ignoring the fact that ther w . r tv in n- syllables to thf name. His peculiarity had the desired tfffct. as there was very- little necsiiy to repeat any of the names after he had once called them. Mr. Iunn accepted his defeat very gracefully, and said to a friend who had worked for him: "1 was fairly beaten by a good man. I w.'.nt to thank my friends who worked so hard for me. and ask them Mill one m.'.-e favor. I want th. m to work as bird now for th suc-s of the man who beat me as thev did for me."

EAKE LOTTERY PLAN Kansas Citv Fraudulent Concern Attempting to Get a Foothold. Superintendent Powell Orders the Arrest of Kvery Louisiana Agent Found in the City. Folic? Superintendent Powell has been Investigating the local system of lottery traffic and proposes to begin a vigorous war against it. The specific enterprise which he intends to look after is the Louisiana Lottery Company. At roll call last night the Superintendent instructed officers and patrolmen to arrest every lottery agent found in the city. The roliee were also authorized to arrest any person found with a lottery ticket in his possession. Superintendent Powell says that the system of gambling as carried on by the Louisiana lottery has grown to be one of the most pernicious evils with wddch the city is infested. Several days ago the chief received Information to the effect that lottery tickets were being scattered broadcast over the city, and assigned to detective Kinney the task of locating one or two reported agents. The detective was not long in securing some valuable points. Yesterday morning detective Kinney was approached by one of the city's prominent business men, who placed In the otllcer's hand a bulky envelope containing an outfit of lottery tickets and instructions. The business man received the package two or three days ago, and, finding the tickets unavailable, decided to turn them over to the police. Accompanying the tickets was the following "confidential" letter, bearing the signature of C. P. Stiles, president of the "Louisiana lottery," and dated Kansas City, April 10: "Pear Sir We want to do some business in your locality and have selected you to represent us there. We fully understand and appreciate the reason why your people have almost stopped buying lottery tickets: it Is because there has been no prize drawn there of value for years, and many have thus become discouraged and have ceased to patronize lotteries entirely. There Is but one way to revive the old-time Interest and excitement, and that is for some one to draw a prize large enough to stimulate and induce others to start buying tickets again. If some well-known man like yourself should draw 15,ow, $l,ijo, fcj.ooo, or even $l.)00, in our lottery it would be the means of selling thousands of tickets In your part of the country, and would create an oldtime boom for us again. We will certainly do our part to awaken public interest In lotteries in your locality if you will do yours. We Inclose fifty one-dollar tickets, and we want you to sell every one of them If you possibly can, as we want just as many as possible in your town interested in this May drawing. It being unlawful to use the mail for lottery purposes, we caution you against sending us money by mail, as all such money simply goes to the dead-letter ollice. Now, do your best and leave the rest to us." Inside the letter addressed to the Indianapolis business man was a small envelope containing lottery ticket "So. 407oS." A printed slip Inclosed with the ticket read: Confidential He sure to sell this ticket to some prominent person who would not object to having his name published should he draw a large prize." The lottery is in Kansas City. Kan., just across the river from Kansas City, Mo. A number of other people receive packages of tickets from this concern Saturday, the package being shipped by express. In each case the number to be given the "prominent citizen" is 41,7r.S. and as the tickets are not subdivided into quarters or halfs It is readily apparent that the concern Is a fraud. Superintendent Powell has notified a number of local agents of his intention to arrest them if they persist In representing the Tjouisianu lottery or any other lottery in this city. HOW ON A SHANTY IJOAT. Thomas Judd Loses Most of His Clothes in a Fisrlit. Thomas Judd, with five of his friends, procured a keg of beer Saturday night, and went to the river bank, near the Belt railroad bridge, with it. It appears that the surroundings were distasteful to the party, and they decided to convert the shanty boat of C.eorge C! rider into a banquet hall. Grlder and his wife, who occupy the house as a residence, interposed an objection to the festivities, but Judd and his maudlin friends declared their Intention of taking possession. Crlder decided that discretion was best, and allowed the party to enter. The orgies proceeded without interruption for a time. Grider gracefully accepted the numerous toasts drank to his health, until Mr. Judd began to manifest flirting propensities of a decided nature toward Mrs. Grider. The lady grew violently indignant over some of Mr. Judd's singular actions, and appealed to her husband for protection. Grider avowed that he would protect his home, and a free-for-all light followed, in which Judd wc.s roughly handled by both his, friends and proprietor of the house. Judd came out of the skirmish without chough clothes on his back to flag a train on a clear day. He was found about midnight by patrolmen Meyerpeter and Keeser, almost nude and wandering along the bank of the river. Grider was badly hurt In the light. He was struck on the head with a hammer, and beaten and bruised until he was black and blue. IT WAS A DRY SUNDAY. Mayor's Threat Had Its Effect Saloons All Closed. The saloon clement conformed to the strict letter of the law yesterday, and Police Superintendent Powell was delighted. He says that the revocation clause, in the city ordinance which the Mayor threatens to put In effect Is hound to produce a moral tendency among former violators of the liquor laws. In the memory of the oldest police officer the demeanor of saloon men yesterday has no precedent. There wefe no arrests for violation of the liquor law, and but few irregularities were reported. Superintendent Powell drove over the city yesttrday afternoon, and was unable. to detect anything that would Indicate a "back door" entrance. All of the down-town saloons wore closed, front and rear, .and the ol'icvrs detaik-d l watch these places were withdrawn early in the afternoon. In many i-jsi:incc groups of young fellows, hovering nbotK the rear doors where they had heretofore been accorded a welcome on the Sabbath, showed by the picture of disappointment on th'dr faces that the secret lock was not working. They ci.uld not understand t)A unusual state of affairs, and many growls of indirn-'tion emanated from dry throats. S.jpt rinten 1Clll Powell 1 Well p!.-;sei with the result of the recoct ultimatum i-sm-d by th Mayor. He 0 !i v s that the sa!rxn ri'-n deserve credi; f.r the nriiin. r in which they obeyed the law yesterd ry. Although he do- s not anticipate farther tpnhl-- with liquor law violators, hn men will not r.-liv their vigilance in keeping an eye on the sal ions. Itev. V. 1'. Talor' SuceeHor. Kev. YV. F. Taylor, pastor of the First Riptt Church, yesterday stated to his congv. nation that he h.id -el 1-d to elose his o rvhes with the church on the first S-.;nd; in May instead of the third, us. bef re going to his new charge in Seattle, he wished to spvnl several weeks In the Fast.

A. WEEK OF W00LLEY

It Drains at Tonilinsoii Hall with an Immense Audience. Col. "Woolley Makes a Strong Speech on Good Citizenship His Taking, Original Way. The week of Woolley and good citizenship began last night at Tomlinson Hall. Wry few occasions have drawn larger crowds to the big hall than assembled then. .Every seat In the house was occupied before 8 o'clock, and then the extra chairs were brought cut from under the stage and placed in front and along the aisles, "these were soon tilled, and still they kept coming. While the services wer conducted undtr the auspices of the young people, it was a very noticeable fact that those of maturer years were as much intt rested as the younger ones. There were probably three thousand persons present. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Whitney. William C. Hall, superintendent of the Tabernacle Sunday school, presided and stated the objects of th3 meeting. It is under the auspices cf the Christian Alliance, which is composed of the various young people's Christian societies of the city without regard to denomination. The object, as staled by Mr. Hall, is to purify the ballot by taking Christianity to the primaries and to the lK)lis. Mr. Hall then Introduced John G. Woolley, who siKke for more than an hour, Interesting his hearers throughout and holding their closest attention. "In this work," said he, "we take the P.lble as our standard and guide. I did not always believe in the Uible, because, as I supposed at that time, I had such a gigantic intellect I could not accept the wonderful things contained in It as true. I had a lot of sand and built on it. I built well and prospered for quite a while, but then it rained so hard that all mv foundation was washed away. Then I felt the walls tootering, and linally saw th2 wreck of my home and business floating away. Then, coward that I was, I called on God to save me from my own folly. Now the unbelievable things in the Bible don't disturb me. I don't attempt to explain those things. I can't do It. They are beyond my comprehension. So is my wife. She surprises me every day wdth something that I don't understand, but I have faith and believe in her. "This series of meetings are not to be temperance meetings, but as temperance is one essential to good citizenship you may be prepared to hear me speak of the subject several times during the week. The drink question has been takn Into politics and so I may touch on politics, but I shall try to be nonpartisan. Poth of the leading parties are afraid of the question. The reat Democratic party now stands In terror because it faces almost certain defeat lit the polls next fall, while the Itepublican putty is jubilant because it is almost sure of victory. When I speak of the saloon question I shall try to be nonpartisan, but it is hard to do. Jf I speak of a party at all I will be accused of favoring it. If a minister was to be called upon to address Tammany Hall and should choose as his subject 'Thou Shalt Not Steal,' he would immediately be accused of partisanship. (Great laughter and applause.) 1 came Into this business on a through train, without. a single stop at a way station, and We will run the train In the same manner 4n the future. We have no tunnels on our road, don't ring a bell, blow a whistle nor stop for anything on the track, so if you get in the way you are liable to i;et hurt. "A few days ago a New York paper accused me of coming to this city to forward certain party schemes. I am not working for any political party; all I ask you to do is to be true, to your party, whatever it may be. Do you know how to do that? Just scratch the meanness out of it. (Laughter.) Neither am I going to criticise your preachers. They .are working for the interests of the people as they see It. I don't criticise your oiticers. You chose them, and I don't want to be impolite to you. I don't indict the saloon keepers. You made the law that makes it possible for them to exist, and thev are as good as the law that makes them." COMMON THINGS OF LIFE. "I have chosen for my text to-night," continued Mr. Woolley, "the most commonplace and unromantlc verse in the Bible 'A sower went forth to sow.' The reason I choose it is because I want to talk about the commonest thing in life. A man said to me to-day that he feared we would have rain to-nip:ht. I told him if rain was the worst thing we had at a temperance meeting we would get along all right. The trouble is so many Christians don't want to deal with the common things of life. They should know that by a huml ie man this light is Koing to be won. Now and then some 'Yankee Doodle Christian sees a chance to parade himself by a brilliant rescue of some soul from the snares of sin. After the rescue has been applauded and attention is turned from nim his zeal lessens. What is called bis head and success don't go well together in temperance reform. You can't tell much about a horse or a Christian until you see him go. No one who knows much about a horse will buy him In a box-stall with his mane and tail done up in curl pap.ers. and his hoofs blackened. The man who buys intelligently will back him out of the stall, examine him all over, put a boy on him and let him go. Then he will work the horse in harness for a couple of hours, speed him in a sulky, listen to his wind and give him another examination. It's the road that tells on a horse and on a Christian. If vou were at church this morning vou would have thought, to see the amount of worship that-was visible, that saloons have no chance In Indianapolis; that dirty politics have no place here. Hut the great drawback of temperance or reform work of anv kind is the lack of people who pay enough attention to It." The evangelist then drew a true-to-life picture between a good, strong - goir-s. steady horse in prime condition, and a poor traveling animal of uncertain disposition and a pronounced uesire 10 construe e erything he can into "Whoa," so that he can stop going. This contrast he applied to the methods of Koinjr at the work of temperance or political reform. He said that there were many magnificent prayers in churches, men who made an Impressive appearance and fervent invocations who were, however, only splendid furniture and nothing more, for they, like the horse described, didn't go. That's what's the matter, he said, with the temperance cause, with the politics of Indianapolis with the politics of the whole country. In fact. It's the corners, the staircases, the dark places in houses that tell ujMjn housekeepers, Mr. Woolley urged, not the parlors. There are. he said, beautiful lawns in Indianapolis, but many backvards are far from attractive. He urged mothers to raise their own children, to watch over them tenderly and carefully. If vou carry a pug dog in your barouche," sa'd he. "and hire a nurse to take care of your baby, don't you be surprised if the dog turns out better than the baby.'.' HIS FOUMEK EXPEUIKN'CE. Mr. Woolley related his experience as a gentleman farmer, telling bow he left everything to his employes and servants. His butter cost him about $41 a pound, and his employes soon owned the place. "A farm soon lands a man in bankruptcy." he said, "unless he sees to it himself. There is too much proxy in our life. We have left our affairs too loin; to the political partics and are slaves to our own servants. If you want your boys saved, mothers. don't trust it to an evangelist, Sunday school teacher or minister, but speak to 1dm yourself. 1 have often gone a long distance summoned bv soni" moth-r who hoped that . ..ii i . mayo' :iel son womu n.ippeu in uie oi ui meetings, and that mayb he would he-ir something that would touch or impress him. and that maybe he would thus be saved. 1 ask hr if she had spoken to the boy herself, and the n ply Is Invariably, Mercy, no. I couldn't do it: and please d n't let him know that 1 have ever mentioned the subject to you.' That is tintrouble in politics. There is too much leaving to others of important dutb-s. Do your political busine.-s yours ivs. We hfve lii-eii raising saloon keepers and jHdhouse politicians w hile we have hired te u hers to teach our chil in n a little anti-alcoholic I hygiero. ' "A farmer who goes out to sow sed i lo-sn"t climb up cm top of a stump, look I alnjut him and say. 'Land, come up and let me sow you.' Now don't latuh. for that is I something like th- formal announcements y-u har right along that Kev. So-and-s- ; will preach at such-and-such a church at , pc:; Sun lay. morning. The reason why su ! m tny pcopl are gt.ing to hell In Indi.inapj olis i- because thtre are not enough healthy ! Christians out working. The reason w ;y I so many Christians land in the dead letter

oJflce is because they haven't been directed anj-whfre. Ti many of our sowers go forth to sow farmers' alliance parties and the Ilk-, and so many of our sowers go forth to soar, and they soar. Sow your seed and God will take care of the harvest. Cast your vote. Don't mind the man that tells you that you are tnrowlng it away. Just go ahead and cast it honestly, intelligently and like a Christian. The Presbyterian. Methodist. Baptist and other formal ways of sowing the seed are all right, but they are not the only ways by a good deal. 11' not stand for denominationalism, but for real men and women. So many Christiana go out, lind sinners, jab holes in them and stick in a text, saying, 'Then, mind that. now. or you'll be damned.' I that the way to bring them Into the fold? Some of our good Republican friends come to us Prohibitionists, rap us on the heads and say, 'You fools, don't you see you are helping the other fellows?' Now, that's not the way to et us. "lAt's sow seed. What do you say? Let's sow seed. So many people .are sowing pancakes, topovers, spongecakes, pills and what not, but let's all of us go out and sow seel. It don't help God's seed to put any of your paltry, puny yeast in it. Just sow it as it is and without attempting to cook it. I am just a "sower and I came to Indianapolis to sow. Mav God bless Indianapolis." The address was frequently interrupted by applause, the evangelist plainly making a deep impression on his auditors. His style is earnest and original and he relies for success on the former quality more than upon eloquence or oratory. His success can be readily underStood afier hearing him At the conclusion of Mr. Woolley's talk Mr. Hall said that this was only the breaking of the ground, and that the evangelist would begin the actual sow ing the following evening. He invited all singers who will sing and all ministers of the gospel to occupy places on the platform. An appeal for $l0 to use in defraying expenses was then made, Mr. Hall Faying he expected five men In the meeting to give twenty-live to give $10, forty to give two hundred to give Jl and the rest eo cents each. In that way he hopeil to raise enough for a legitimate campaign fund, to be used purely in the interest of good honest oandidates.Tbe collection was then taken and was resionded to rather liberally from all appearances. The chairman of to-night's meeting, he announced, would be Mavor Denny. W. F. -.Taylor. A. R Whitney. Albert Ogle. Frank (. Ballard. Sol C Dickev, E. B. Pawls. J. A. Kondthaler. J. W. Wilson, H. A.

Fred Monahan and Harry George Break into a Saloon. Fred Monahan and Harry George were arrested yesterday afternoon for breaking into a saloon at No. C12 West Washington street. The men effected an entrance into the place shortly after dinner, and were found by Sergeant Laporte and patrolmen Scott and Knauss on the commons west of the Belt railroad, near Washington street. The men resisted arrest, and gave the officers a fierce battle for several minutes. George was finally captured, and Monahan amused himself by shying stones at Sergeant Laporte. The Sergeant was seriously bruised before he could capture his man. In the struggle George's clothes were nearly torn from his back. Monahan was under arrest a year ago on the charge of loitering. It was thought by the police that he was implicated in the murder of the barber, George Duncan, but there was not sulliclent evidence to hold him. Once a month the ends of the hair should be cut to remove the forked ends, which stop its growth.
