Wuensch. a, German harness maker, who lived with his family at No. 473 South East etreet, went to the home of his mother, at No. S3 Water street, yesterday afternoon, and drowned himself In the cistern. His coat and vest were found near the pump, and they led to the search which resulted in the finding of the body. Wuensch entered the cistern head downward, through a. small fifteen-inch-square opening. In the covering. It was with great dlffluclty that the body was removed. Wuensch had been suffering rrom despondency ior several weeks without apparent cause. He, had a good home and wa reguUrljT employed. So despondent has he been at times that his friends have feared he would kill himself, and there has been ome talk of sending him ' to the Insane hospital. He has frequently, remained away from home for several days at a time, and has remained out in several of the recent fcard rains. Yesterday he went to his mother's home. .She went to visit some neighbors during the afternoon, leaving her son reading, hen she returned he could not be found. he made Inquiries, but no one had seen him. Passing around in the back yard she observed his coat and vest lying near the cistern, and she became alarmed. The discovery was made shortly after 4 o'clock by neighbors, who were called. A clothes prop was placed In the cistern it was observed that there was something at the bottom. A rake was used and the. body was brought to the surface. Charles Whltsett was notified, and one of his employes,- with the aid of patrolman MunhilU succeeded In getting the body out. It was found necessary to cut away a portion of the arch of the cistern before the body could be removed.

SOLDIERS IN REVIEW

TUB CAMP OP INSTRUCTION AT FAIRVIEW PAIIK OPENS. Fifteen Thousand People Went Out to See the Martini Array Afternoon Maneuvers. -The sun rose over the camp of the Indiana National Guard yesterday, morning in a cloudless sky. The first peeping rays that shone above the tree-tops beyond Fairview bathed the tent-dotted fieldj in a rosy light and kissed the mouths of frowning cannon, as the poet would say. The sform of the night before had passed away and the dawn found a silent, sleeping camp. It was not the bivouac of a slumbering army awaiting the call to arms. The scene was one of quiet peace and the dreams of the young soldiers softly sleeping beneath the white tents were untroubled. The camp presented an attractive appearance. The green foliage of the trees glistened with rain drops In the bright sun and the grasses looked bright and fresh. The heavy rainfall of the night before had soaked Into the soft ground; and by 9 o'clock the woods and fields were dry. At 5:30 o'clock yesterday morning the remnants of the First, Third and Fourth regiments, quartered In the Statehouse, were called from their hard beds on the marble floor and marched from the building. Adjutant-general Robbins was up early and presented himself at the Statehouse by 6 o'clock. Then the troops were marched to the Illinois street car line, where they boarded the cars and were taken to the camp. The last of the National Guard arrived in the city at 1:30 o'clock yesterday morning. .The detachment was composed of three companies from the southern part of the' State, which completed the roster of troops. It Is estimated that 2,600 militiamen took breakfast In camp. The reveille was sounded at 5:30 o'clock, and many a drowsy young soldier had to be dragged from his couch of straw. It was the first morning In camp, and a great many of the men were not accustomed to early rising. The morning was devoted to cleaning up and getting the scattered supplies together. The rain of Friday night destroyed a great many provisions, and the commissary tent looked sadly depleted when the cooks began to stir themselves for the company supplies. The vegetables and meats were drenched and the bread so badly soaked that it could not be eaten.. It was said at the quartermaster's tent that 700 loaves of bread floated away and were found at the bottom of a gully 200 yards away. However, the quartermasters of the various regiments were astir ear?;, and supplies were promptly' recruited. The Second Regiment appears to have suffered more severely' from the rain than the other regiments. Many of the tents belonging to the Second were not In condition to occupy until late Friday night, and in many instances a half dozen soldiers were compelled to occupy one tent. The camp ground, as it was selected by the Adjutant-general, is picturesquely situated. The Second Regiment is quartered In a large grove immediately north of the street car track, and about two hundred yards east of where the line makes the last turn before reaching Falrvlew. The artillery occupies a position adjacent to the infantry on the west. The six guns belonging to the batteries rest In an opeq park a few yards distant from the regimental headquarters, their muzzles pointing to the west. Battery A, with the gallant Captain Curtis tn command, has its tents set upon a slight knoll nearest the street car track. Battery C, of Rockville. and Battery E. of Fort Wayne, are quartered a short distance away. The headquarters of the commanding officers of the Second Regiment are pleasantly situated. Col. James R. Ross and Lieut. Col. Harry B. Smith are in charge. These regimental headquarters directly face the parade ground, a gently sloping meadow of about lifty acres, which lies directly to the north. Immediately east of the parade ground are the ' tents of the First. Third and Fourth regiments. Heavy bilk flags flying above the trees indicate the regimental quarters. Thsae regiments are encamped In a deeply wooded grove, which slopes to. the west. The picket lino divides the camp from the parade ground and extends for nearly a half mile north and south. PERSONNEL OF REGIMENTS. The First Regiment, one of the largest in the State," Is in command cf Col. John Ebel. of Terre Haute. On his staff are Lieut. Col. McCoy, of Vincenne3; MaJ. James F. Fee, MaJ. D. McAulIff, MaJ. Gtorge H. Fennington and Chaplain J. B. Tlmberlake, of New Albany. The First Regiment had much to do with the miners' riMs last summer, The Third Regiment is in camp, with 630 men, under command of the following commissioned officers: Col. J. K. Gore, of Elkhart: Lieut. Col. George M. Studebaker, of South Bend; MaJ. E. L. Slyer; chief surgeon, of Fort Wayne; Capt. P. P. 3 inborn, assistant surgeon. ef Angola; Lieut. E. G. Tdelindy, of Fremont, and Adjt. N. Wf Gilbert, cf Angelo. The Third Regiment i3 made up of two battalions of infantry. Col. George W. Gunder, of Marlon, is in command of the Fourth Regiment. At the commanding colonel's headquarters are Adjt. George -T. Whltaker, of Dunkirk; Quartermaster J. J. Todd, of Bluffton, and Sergt Maj. A. E. Gibson, of Marion. MaJ. G. E. Downey, of Aurora, and MaJ. W L. Kiger, of Bluffton, are In command of the First and Second Battalions. Yesterday morning, in order to suit the convenience of the week, a number of temporary changes were made among the commissioned ottucrs. Lieut. F. F. McCrea was made provost marshal of the camp; W. S. Christian was appointed to th3 position of adjutant of the Second Regiment to fill the duties of Adjt. George W. Powell, when that olUcer is compelled to be absent. In addition to these changes, MaJ. G. A. Boyle was promoted to the office of regimental sergeant. Brigadier General W. J. McKee has exclusive control of the camp. The power of Aujutant-general Robbins, as far as the government of the troops is concerned, ceased when the last company marched into camp. The brigade headquarters are prettily situated on the hill at the extreme east lino of Falrvlew Park proper. The headquarters overlook the parade ground, and the tents of the regiments encamped across the field can be plainly seen. Gen. McKee's staff constitutes the following officers: Lieut. Col. F. W. Frank, acting adjutant-general, Indianapolis; Lieut. Col. W. M. Wright, chief medical officer. Indianapolis; MaJ. George W. Keyser,. chief quartermaster, Indianapolis; MaJ. Harry O. Eagle, chief commissary subsistence, Indianapolis; Maj. Fred A. Joss, Judge advocate, Indianapolis; MaJ. Charles T. Maclntlre. chief signal officer. Indianapolis: MaJ. W. W. Bobbins, unasslgned, Indianapolis; Capt. D. J. McCormlck, ordnance offlcer, Indianapolis; First Lieut. Frank E. Strause, ald-de-camp, Rockville. In addition to the rezular brigade staff ' Lieut. Thomas Defrees, of the Fifth United States Infantry, has been detailed for special duty with General McKee. Lieut. Samuel Miller, of the Fifth United States Infantry, on special duty at Purdue University, is also with General McKee In accordance with the orders of the Secretary of War. Both army officials will assist in the school of instructions. The brigade headquarters are commodious and comfortable. General McKee has his force of - stenographers and clerks, and the click of the typewriter may be heard at any hour in the day. The brtpade commander also has telephonic communication with all the regimental headquarters. A squad of sturdy infantrymen are on guard throughout the day and night, and after this morning it will be difficult to pass through the picket lines about brigade headquarters without a permit from the commanding om cer. THE GENERAL ORDERS.Yesterday afternoon the brigade officers held an informal reception, and a great many of their friends visited the tents. General McKee, although a very busy man, found time to 'extend polite courtesies, and Lieutenant Defrecs, faultlessly attired In white duck, was ever present. Yesterday morning General McKee issued a general order prescribing the hours of service for the week. It is known as general order No. 4, and was posted as follows: First call for reveille 3:2 a. in.

Consolidated regimental reports must be sent to general headquarters by 12 o'clock m. dally. TIIOUSAXDS OF VISITORS. Sentries Hnve Trouble Divine Serrieen Held FIrat Dress Parade. Although the weather was oppressive yesterday afternoon thousands of people visited tho camp of the militiamen. Many came over from Falrvlew, and hundreds went out from the city to get a glimpse of soldier life. The sun came down bright and warm, and the soldiers, who were camped on sparsely timbered ground, kept Inside their tents until late in the afternoon. Young girls not yet out of their teens were out In large numbers seeking their first view of the uniformed soldier in camp. Feminine smiles were plentiful for the soldier lad, and his manly figure, encased In the blue of his country, excited much admiration. - , ' " The camp ground of the Second Regiment was a favorite resort for-the visitors. . The deeply shaded avenues between the tents afforded a seductive promenade ground, and a gallant young captain or lieutenant pointing out Items of Interest to a bevy of gushing young girls that kept close to his side was not an unusual'slght. In one Instance a daintily dressed young woman was seen walking at the side of a. sentry. Several times ffho accompanied h'lm to the end of his beat and then back again, carefully protecting him from the sun with her parasol and all the while rattling off a torrent of speech. The officers witnessed the novel sight,' but kindly refrained from calling the sentry to a halt. Tho tents of Battery A, Captain Curtls's prize-winning company of artillery, twere popular with the visitors. Litutenant, Garrard was in charge during the afternoon, and made numerous explanations of the intricate workings of the big gun. Over at the camp of the First. Third and Fourth regiments the visitors went by the hundreds. The two- colored companies were doing picket duty, and for an. hour they almost had to use their bayonets to keep the crowds back. Shortly after dinner the provost marshal issued an order requiring all visitors to have passes before crossing the line which divides the parade ground from the camp of the First, Third and Fourth Regiments. The order was only in effect an hour, but during that time it was rigidly enforced. As fast as the visitors were sent back by the guard they took up a position near the line and enjoyed the discomfiture of other luckless persons. Sometimes a woman would approach the line, but instead of halting at the call of the guard would push on until she reached a safe, distance inside. Rather than create an unpleasant incident in the camp the guard would allow her toroceed. A great many men attempted to pass the guards, but in all cases were, reiused. Some hot words were Indulged In, but the guards kept their tempers, and the dispute usually ended in the irate visitor, demanding that the corporal of the' guard be summoned. This to his, own satisfaction and th citizen official' would invariable settle the matter would retire from the field. A pleasant feature of the afternoon was the sermon by Rev. Mr. Timberlake, chaplain of the First Regiment. Rev. Mr. Carstenscn, chaplain of the Second Regiment, had arranged with Mr. Tlmberlake to hold services at the regular church hour yesterday morning, but on account of the damp condition of the ground the plan was abandoned. At 2 o'clock, however. Colonel Ebel, of the First Regiment, assembled his troops and together with the Third and Fourth Regiments, marched to the east side of the camp to participate in divine services.The First Infantry Band, of Evansvllle, played "Nearer my God. to Thee and the soldiers sang the words. Nearly a thousand men lifted up their voices in song and then bowed their heads while the chaplain offered a prayer. The sermon of Chaplain Tlmberlake was most appropriate to the occasion. He spoke briefly of the work which his hearers were expected to perform. He hoped they would serve the State well and honor the flag of their country. He did not btlleve there was a soldier In all the great company before him who would be guilty of an act while in camp fhat would cause regret after his return to his home and his family. The soldiers paid earnest heed to the chaplain's words and dispersed with a feeding of gladness.. At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon the troops received their first Instructions in the field. The exercises were in the form of a dress parade and were participated in by the four regiments and the three artillery companies. The parade of the troops was held In the open field in front of the brigade headquarters. The strains of music from the bands floated across th hills to Falrvlew and attracted a great many people from tnis resort. Perhaps two thousand people stood in the sun and watched the maneuvers of the troops. The regiments marched into the field by companies and took up the positions alloted them. Then came the bearers of the, regimental colors and the musicians. The Third Regiment Rand, of South Rend, marched across the broad expanse of meadow, play-i lng a popular Sousa march and took up a position at the rear and extreme left of the troops. The other bands followed, each playing some familiar march. l.ast came the brigade commander and h1 staff, their steeds stepping high .to the lively music and their tali plumes waving gracefully in the breeze. Back and forth along the solid phalanx of men that stretched out for nearly a mile rode the commander and staff. Sharp and clear came the orders from General McKee and they promptly passed from company to company. This Informal review continued for nearly an hour and at its close the troops went back to quarters very tired, but ery well satisfied with their first afternoon's work. Most of the sickness in camp has been confined to the Second Regiment. This regiment was in camp Saturday night and many of its members were exposed to the pouring rain. At 4 o'clock yesterday twenty-five men had applied to the hospital tent for relief from various aliments. The most seriously afillcted were: Sergeant Maxwell, Company H, Indianapolis, exhaustion; private Frank iuher. Company H, nervous chill, discharged and sent home; private E. . Green, Company L, Kokomo, stomach trouble, not serious. Dr. F. R. Charlton has . charge of the Second Regiment hospital corps: Dr.' A. T. Logan is assistant and J. R. Francis is hospital steward. T. A. Hyde, G. R. Andrews. A. T. Kemper and J. H. Clark constitute the hospital corps. At the Third Regiment hospital tent there were a few complaints of sickness yesterday. Private W. E. Martin, of Company E. suffered from a mangled hand, ana Corporal H. H. Springer, of Company G, was slightly indisposed during part of the day. Among the artillerymen there is no lckness, and the First and Fourth regiments have no sick men. Xnten of the Camp. Police Superintendent Powell is acting adjutant of the Second Regiment. He will spend part of the time in camp and in his absence his duties will be looked after by an assistant. Thursday afternoon. Governor Matthews, as commander-in-chief of the Indiana National Guard, will review the troops. If the weather is fine it is expected that the occasion will be an attractive one. The newspaper men are extensively in evidence among the soldiers. E. F. Dishman, adjutant of the Third Battalion, was. until recently, connected with the city staff of the Louisville Times. He llvrs in New Albany and is conducting the Tribune of that city. Will J. Coleman, captain of Company C, First Regiment, is telegraph editor of the Louisville Times. He drifts over to the Indiana side Ion enough ta vote and drill his company. Among the other newipaoer men aro4 Captain Reljier, C.orapany

B, First Infantr of Terre Haute, and Lieutenant Frank -Parks, regimental adjutant of the First.. The latter Is connected -with the Terre Haute Express. Captain Burr, the youngest officer of the Indiana National Guard, is in camp with his Anderson company. During the riots in the coal mines Captain Burr was at the front. When a telegram was sent to Anderson instructing him to prepare his company for active duty at ithe mines, the young officer notified his men and got them on the train in forty-five minutes from the time he received notice that his services were needed. Fifteen thousand people visited Falrvlew yesterday. The street car company furnished transportation for everybody, and no accidents occurred. Yesterday afternoon the demand for transportation became so great that the company was compelled to increase the number of oara. Four motors were procured from the Broad Ripple company and used until the rush was over last night. There were no unpleasant Incidents to mar the pleasure of the visitors at the park, and everything passed off smoothly.At 10 o'clock yesterday morning when a deep-chested trumpeter stepped out from the headquarters of the brigade commander and began sounding the call for religious services there was considerable stir down In the Second Regiment. Lieutenant Colonel H. U. Smith sat dozing in front of his tent, but as the first note left the trumpet far away on the hill he sprang up. Rushing across the camp ground to a brother officer he exclaimed: "What call is that?" "That's the church Call." replied the other. "I thought I didn't recognize it." said the Lieutenant Colonel as he turned on his spur-adorned heel and sped back to his tent. - AMUSEMENTS.

"Mascot" at Wlldu-ood To-XIjrhi. If it doesn't rain anything worse than "dogs and cats" to-night, Wlldwood will Inaugurate its third week of summer opera with a revival of "Mascot," which is on me vms lor xne nrst uuee jus ma ui uic i week. Mr. Temple . will take the part of I Lorenzo and Miss Walker will be Bettina. The full cast was printed in yesterday's Journal. Edward Temple, director of Wlldwood Opera -company, received a leter yesterday from Treasurei Ttlchards, of the Francis Wilson. Opera company, notifying him to report in New York oh Aug. 5, for rehearsals of "The Chieftain." This is Sir Arthur Sullivan's new opera, which the Wilson company will produce at Abbey's New York theater, on Sept. 9. Francis Wilsmi returned from London yesterday. During his stay in England he had numerous interviews with the celebrated composer about the coming American production of "The Chieftain," and Mr. Temple says Sir Arthur has written so many new numbers for the work that it will be practically a new opera from the one produced in London. Mr. Temple has no intimation yet as to the character for which he will be cast in "The Chieftain." His engagement with the Wlldwood people will expire on Aug. 3, when he will start at once for New York. This does not mean that the season at Wlldwood will close In two weeks, as Manager Seeds says it is the intention of the summer opera people to run until September, If not longer. During Mr. Temple's stay In Indianapolis he has made a host of friends, who will be glad to welcome him back next winter when the Wilson company returns with "The Chieftain." Mr. Temple's artistic work at Wlldwood speaks for itself. His company has given better satisfaction than was thought could be obtained on the first venture of summer opera in this city. Its artistic success has been due to his thorough understanding of how to put on a first-class production. Aside from his professional life, Mr. Temple has shown that he is a cultured citizen from the bohemlan world and one whose acquaintance and companionship has been appreciated by the many here who have, met him. Xnt Goodwin Bicycling1 In England. LONDON, July 21. Nat Goodwin started, yesterday, on a five weeks' bicycle tour of England. Just before his departure Mr. Goodwin read the play "In Missouri" to William Terriss, whj decided it unsuitable for English production. Mr. Goodwin said: "I have given up . all hope of acting In London. Tho English do not want American acting, and it is the height of folly to go against their wishes. England is a delightful place for Americans to visit and spend monej. but not to act in." , Henry E. Abbey, who sails for New York to-day, is also Inclined to the same opinion as Goodwin. No 'American manager has had such thorough experience in. London as Mr. Abbey, and yet he declares that, although he has been I bringing attractions hero for fifteen years,' he is not much more than even. "Only for the success of Mary Anderson," said Mr. Abbey. "I would be out of pocket by my experience In London. Miss Anderson is the only Amedcan who made big money here. The first season she played here she made 180,000, and I made 1jO,00O. Jefferson and Booth did not make big money here.", - Mr. Abbey also said he never had such a nlfficu'tt task as he had in securing passage for Sir Henry Irving and his company to America on Aug. . 23. . , , . . Notes ' of v the Stage. Beerbohm Tree intends when he produces "Trilby" la London to have Svengall pronounced Svenga-lee. . . Two acts of the new play by Paul M. Potter and Bill Nye have been completed, and it has been decided to call the piece "A Stag Party." - . "The Night Clerk"' is the title that has been selected for the piece In which Peter F. Dalley is to be starred next season by Charles J. Rich and William Harris. At the close of the Chicago engagement of "The Merry World." it is likely that the piece will be taken back to the Casino at New York, to resume its hastily interrupted run. It is announced that the long-promised theater at Broad Ripple is being erected, and that a "notable dramatic stock company will produce the standard dramas" there on or about July 28. - May Irwin, so long in farce-comedy busl ness, Is said to have great promise of success in her starring venture next winter. The play or burlesque, or whatever It is to be has been christened "Tfte Widow Jones." Manager John W. Dunne has engaged Miss Florence Wickes, the youngest daughter of the vlco president of the Pullman company, for the company supporting winsome little Gladys Wallis next season. Miss Wickes is now in New York studying voice culture unsJer the tuition of Mr. Jesse Williams. Miss Ada Palmer Walker, of Wlldwood Opera Company, was erroneously announced to sing yesterday at Sts. Peter and Paul's, on Meridian street. The announcement should have been at St. John's cathedral. Many went to Ms. Peter1 and Paul's and were much disappointed at not hearing the Australian. prima donna. Upon what seems to be the best authority it is stated that Mr. Palmer's profits upon Paul Potter's remarkable play, "Trilby," have already reached close upon $75,000. The receipts are said to reach $9,000 a week in Chicago, while in New York, where "Trilby" is still running, the weekly receipts have fallen not lower than $3,000 in the hottest weather. The well-known American actress, Julia Arthur, appears to have made a very favorable impression in London, where she some time ago became an important member of Mr. Irving'a company at the Lyceum theater. She recentiy played Rosamund, the part formerly Interpreted by. Ellen Terry, In the play called "Beckett." It Is said that during her first performance she was called before the curtain three times. A STREET WAIF. Xesrlected nnd Sick, Johnny Hitter Is Carried to Mrs. Uuchnnan. Johnny Rltter, a nine-year-old lad, homeless and sick, was brought to police 'headquarters late last night, because there was no other place for him to stay. The boy's father Is dead and his mother's residence is unknown. He has been without a regular home for a year now. Yesterday an unknown woman brought him to No. 92 South Liberty street and asked to leave him there for a time. The boy does not remember who the woman was or where she lives. He leaned aealnst the fence at the number given and fell to sleep on the ground. The unknown woman departed, saying that it would be best to let him sleep. The appearance of the boy led to the belief that he had been drugged and the police were notified. With great difficulty he was aroused. Matron Buchanan found a bed for him and she expressed the opinion that he Is only 111. Neglect and Improper treatment are supposed to be the causes. The lad was an inmate at the Orphans' Home until a year ago, when hl3 mother removed him, premising to make a home tor him. Straiv Hat. Straw IIat.

Dedication Sermon by Bishop Way man, of Baltimore White Ministers Fnlled to Attend. Yesterday was a red-letter day in the history of the congregation of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, the oldest ' colored congregation in the' city. It was founded about sixty years ago by Bishop William Paul Quinn, and haS been a power among the colored inhabitants of Indianapolis ever since. It has now a membership- of 1,570, Of whom few were absent at the dedication yesterday of the handsome new remodeled home which has Just been completed. The services were held In the morning. In the afternoon and last nlghL The orator of the day was Bishop Wayman, a talented and eloquent divine" from Baltimore. Although the new auditorium will seat about 1.600 people, and chairs may be placed for two or three hundred more., there was no space left at any of the meetings yesterday for late comers. Many atood, and it Is believed two thousand people' crowded Into the edifice, in spite of the sweltering heat. Owing, however, to the superb system of ventilation, the great audience seemed to suffer little from the discomfort of crowd and weather. ' The ritual service of the morning was conducted by the pastor. Rev. Dr. T. W. Henderson. The choir, led by Trofessor Martin, sang a number of anthems. The text of Bishop Wayman's sermon was from Solomon's Songs, x, 6: "Fair as the moon, clear as the sun and terrible as an army with banners." The theme was "The Beauty of the Church." The discourse showed that the bishop has a high Ideal of the greatness and beauty of the church, which he portrayed In . language which reached the height of eloquence. He drew a mental picture of the full moon on a still night, saying that no prettier sight was given of God to man to enjoy amid its millions of stars. Just so, he said, the church shines above every other organization among men, and its devotees are as the stars of heaven. Its doctrines, the Bishop said, are as clear In the moral world as the sun in the physical world. The simile of the church as an army "terrible as an army with banners" finds pertinence, he said, in the power and influence of the church as a terror to evil-doers. He described how it scatters the foes of God's people and stands as a breakwater against the floods of deviltry in the world. In the church, he said, the words of Christ had been fully Identified: "It is founded upon a rock, and the gates of hell shall net prevail against it." The . sermon concluded with words of congratulation to the pastor and board of trustees, as 'well as to the people of the congregation, upon the great things accomplished in the building and fitting up of so handsome and convenient a place of worship. The mass meeting at 3 o'clock was again a time of a packed audience. No more could be accommodated. This service was more of a general one. The Bishop and officers of the. church met in the ladies' parlor and marched in a body to the auditorium. A Scripture lesson was read by the Bishop, who also made a short address. Speeches were also made by Dr. Henderson, Rev. Mr. Haygood; Rev. Mr. Martin, of the Corinthian Baptist Church; Rev. Mr. Wakefield, of ZIon M. E. Church, and Rev. Morris Lewis, . of Evansvllle. The programme was full of specially prepared music. The evening sermon was again by the Bishop. His text was from Galatlans vl, 9: "Le us not be weary in well doing, for in due aeason we will reap, if we faint not." The discourse was an exposition of. the frultfulness of perseverance in good works. The collections of the day amounted to about $600. The church Improvement cost J14.CO0, of which $10,000 is available within ninety days, and the rest is carried in a building and loan association. There is a floating debt of about $2,000, which the congregation will be able to care for. The new building Is well suited to the needs of the growing congregation. An idea of the growth of this church is gained from its records, which show that within two years 680 persona have been added through the efforts of Dr. Henderson. This is the largest Protestant body of Christians In the city, if not in the State. It is composed of many of the very best members of the race in the city. It was founded by free negroes, and has been the center of the wealth and intelligence of the race in Indlarapolis ever since. Most of the profersional colored men are connected with the church. The pastor is a native of North Carolina, but lived In his boyhood an.ong members of the Society of Friends, who gave him an education, fitting him for college at Wilberforce. from which he graduated. He is about fifty years of age, and has been a teacher and minister for many years. He engaged in newspaper work in Kansas, and had charge of the exodus to Kansas of sixty thousand negroes from the South. Later he was in Chicago, and is one of the best-known and ablest colored men, it is said. In America. His congregation gave him a very earnest and competent board of trustees, with whom he succeeded in giving them in return a strikingly handsome house of worship. The trustees are: H. L. Sanders. Willis Kersey, Don D. Wells, John A. Puryear, Edwp.rd Harris, B. F. Waie. Allen Jackson, Capt. Jacob M. Porter and John Allen. The manner of raising so much money was In dividing: the memership into circles and clubs with the common end in view, and great success has attended the effort. The church has been provided with a young men's reading room, handsomely furnished and having shelves for a. thousand books. It is designed to give the young colored man without a home a place where he may go to read and study. The building also has a room set apart as a ladles' parlor, and the basement floor has a large kitchen and dining room. "The only disappointment In the day," said Dr. Henderson, last night, to a Journal reporter, "was the failure of the white ministers to respond to my personal invitation to be present .in the afternoon. I sent forty Invitations, but there was none of the white ministers present. We would have been glad to welcome them."
