thr said, because in her childhood she had 1 taught to read it. Her picture of th oil-style "blanket sheet," which she had to. spread uron the floor to rea l, was rraphli. From some expressions In the paper it was apparent mat the speaker an fee romanco in missionary reports and a martial thrill in the battle? for gooJ citizenship. The Sunday paper came In for pome condemnation. Their numerous leaves, she said, "are not leaves for the healing of rations." The remedy, she said, was in creating a taste for something better. The paper was discussal by Rev. II. it. .Tinford, Richmond: Mrs. Dr. Crowel, Creensburg: Dr. Hall. Delphi; Kev. C. M.Kennedy, ilallson, and Prof. Charles Powner, Greensburg.' Rev. Isaac D. Worman. of Indianapolis, being absent unexpectedly In pastoral duty, his plac was filled by Kev. Dr. H in ley president of Rligevllle College. He spoke on the stated theme, "Our Church Colleges and Our Relation to Them." He argue.i the need of such institution?, because the state institutions give attention' only to the heaJs of the young people. He ursed loyalty and liberality in naterial things to the church institutions of learning. Professor Excell here entertained the convention by a solo. "It Pays to Serve Jesus." It was sung" with perfect vocalization. DR. HAINES'S TALK. Rev. Dr. 31. L. Haines, of the First Presbyterian Church of Indianapolis, was the nxt speaker. His subject was "Christian Kn leavor anJ the Sunday School," b'ut this discussion .'was prefaced by some facetious remarks and some quite palatable to the people of Greensburg, whom, he raid, live la the exact center of the population of the United States, anl even the "sun, moon an I stars' revolve about them. He said b took prlie in the fact that he Is a native of southeastern Indiana. The chairman, Mr. Kapp. having present! him with very eulogiftk- reference. Dr. Haines salJ that as he left his seat hia friend Uev. R. V. Hunter had w.iispereJ: "You can't lve up to- that introduction." The halrman. salt Dr. Halne. reminded him of the Brooklyn woman who was very proul o' her pastor. Dr. Hethune, and one day had him at breakfast. As she passed him the pancakes, and was serving the syrup, she said: "Doctor, will you have It crl.ikle-crankle or all in a puddle?" The chairman, continued Dr. Hatne.. had placed h;m :i In a puddle. This, however, apparently lei rather to the amusement of the audience than to its conviction. Dr. IIaItk?. amon, other thirsrs. ald: "The Christian Endeavorer can do so rruh for the 8anlay school who has In mlnrl tiic supreme object .of the Sunday school, ami who gives himself to helping Jil own school to rrallzo that obj?ct. AVe all know what are the aim? of a genuine Christian Kndeavor society, embodied In Its mctto, for 'Christ and the Church. but some Ktt sidetracked, and the societies get to he mere literary cr social club. It is even so with some Sunday schools. Hoth should bo kert to the purpose for whlh thev were organized. I stw what I thouzht rHht rightly be called the charter of the Sunday school, wandering one afternoon Into the Pantheon. In Paris, I sat down on one of the benches under its magnificent dome. Over against a b-Jge stone pillar supporting the dome was fastened a rulplt. Around Its oaken bas?. in letters of gold, were thes? words, word of Jesus Christ: 'Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.' They rlsht fitly be written in golden letters on the wall of every Sunday-school room. That 1 what a Sunday sohool Is for. Chris does not say, 'Teaching them to memorize' what I have commanded,' yt this is part of the work of the S'jpday sohool. To memorize certain word of Scripture is one thinjt. but to inculcate Dibit- truth is another. There are some who fall Xq see that teaching is sometimes more than hearing the pupils recite what they have memorixed. A scholar can srtve a good rote recitation and understand little. A lady once told her pastor that for many years as a child she had repeated the word of the catechism, thus: '.Man's chief end is to glorify God. In some, schools so much time is taken up with recitatlcn that precious little is given to explanations. A Sunday school scholar reproved for not understanding a simple thing once said: 'It seems to me I have to learn so many things that I have not time to understand them. Yet the great truths of the Rible are not be3'ond the child's apprehension. A Swedish girl walked with her father and looked up at the stars. He asked her what she was thinking about, and she said: 'I was thinking if the wrong fide of heaven Is so glorious, what must the right side ber That equals John Milton's. 'These are Thy mighty works, Parent of God etc. WISDOM OF CHILDREN. " "A Httle 'girl's definition of conscience was, 'Something Inside of me that I cannot do what I want with. Emanuel Kant's famous definition of conscience, 'The categorical Imperative of duty is not so very much better. Again, a little child said, as to why God should have permitted sin: 'If we were to be people and not things, I don't see how it could be helped that we should go wrong, if we wanted to. "Yes. in the minds of children there are capacities for spiritual discernment which startle us. Christianity recognizes this, and it Is the only religion that is fitted for children which trusts itself completely to ohlldren that goes so far as to make a child one of Its models. 'Cause the people to understand well' was John WloklifTe's charge to his poor priests as he started them out to walk the roads of England and to teach the common people the Rible So we say this is part of the mission of the Sunday sohool. Rut when the Sunday school Is so conducted that the scholars old and young are taught to memorize and understand the holy Scriptures, the great purpose for which the Sunday school was organized is not fully yet tuillled. Teach them to observe.' I wish I could burn that sreat Rible word 'observe' upon tha minds of all the teachers in the Sunday schools and of all the Sunday school workers The rjrrrme .aim of the teacher is something more than the explanations of a truth. Mr. Huxley says the 'most valuable result of all education Is the ability to make you da the thing you have to do, when It ought to be done, whether you feel like It or not.' Herbert Spencer says: 'IJfe Is no; for learning, hut learning is for life. The first use of kr.bwledse Is the riRht ordering of nil our actions.' Christian teaching Is something more than the Imparting of Christian knnwledjr. Jt U training In Christian eonci.jct. The wise man did not sav, 'Teach a child the way he should so but 'train up ft child In the vay he should go." There is a ?ride dlfTerence. Many children are well tacsht but poorly trained. Teaching gives Knowledge, but training gives conduct. irarhliig Impart truth:, but training forys h'nrts. The great truths of the l ! le. whethf" from the teacher's chair or t he p ilpit f!ek. are to be nude known, not Tor mere enlightenment and to b- understood, but for the obedience of faith. It is iTportant that the scholar should hold true dvtrines It equally important that he shoit. hold the doctrine truly. Rible doc trlren may be understood and believed, but f they are to h a saviour of life they must be observed. v have paM too much attention to mere knowing. Ones mav know ruch and yet show hlmelf a fool" by his nonuse of what he knows. God' worl many ji man a fool who knows a irrei: deal, and there Is ro foo! so great aj a knowing fool. Here. then, is the kuprrme aim of the Sunday school to study lo watch, to Instruct, to p-ay; not merely to be scholar, young or old. who knows, but to do Just what Christ commands." o ;ood ciTizr:sim llr. J. IV. Khlrr nml J, n. Mrhulson the Mpeuker. The afternoon session brought' an audience that flllf the rink, the subject bein -The Endeavorer In Good Citlzenshdp." The topic brought out the liveliest interest so far manifested, and thU centered about the address of Mrs. J. KUer, cf Petersburg. Her theme, was, "From a Wonui'j Standpoint." The discourse contained many thin? that were not new, and standard arguments were not neglected, but It is seldom such a subject Is handled by so clever and comely a woman. Enwrapt In the deepest Interest In her subject, there was a modest prepossession about her that made It easy for her to score a great sucee'. No speaker has yet received the applause that was given her. "RESPECT FOR I,V." Mr. EMer bfgan by praying a beautiful tribute to woman and her work, recltln? her hopes and prayers for better government and a higher ideal of citizenship. That portion of the paper which met the most evlder.eo of approval was as follows: "Hut 'though the lt-jil riht to help stet-r the ship of state in:o furer channels Is denied her. she need not remain Idle. Xor ha her pent-up power beaten fruitlessly aralnst the world's gigantic wrongs else sho mi;;ht bewail her womanhood.

Its powerful waves against pulpit, press. platform, forum and even tbe business masts, until from all theee spheres she has enlisted powerful co-laborers, bringing forth a Parkhurst. a Martyn. a Nicholson and hosts of others waging warfare agalruit all legalized sin with the strength of their splendid manhood. And our tieloved Father Clark proudly owns that this fair maiden of Christian Endeavor, yielding her influence for good everywhere, had her birth In a woman's loving heart. "Evermore when woman could not ride In golden chariots of success, she haj been willing to mount some pack horse of duty. Sho has introduced into the public schools of our Nation scientific temperance instruction, teaching the sin and evils of intemperance. She Is instructing the children and youth on the wickedness of the whole buslne so that by and by the mothers will not need legislation on this question. She has entered the sacred field of social purity society's silver shield and is pleading for a 'white life for two.' She has gone before the law-makers of our land and secured the enactment and enforcement of laws to protect the chastity of our girls and to save our boys from the allurements of the wine cup, from tobacco and cigarettes. She has done more. For the archfiend stalked into her very home, bringing in the vilest of literature; pictures over which Satan might blush. an4 she has demanded and obtained a law for their suppression, and a penalty attached for sending such through the mails. She has striven to suppress the living picture craze for she doesn't believe in the living picture as an art educator except as it is found in the sweet picture of womanhood 'clothed and In her right mind on the home's busy stae. She has fought the lottery and all forms of gambling in high, or low places, whether It be Cncle Sam's lottery, the business man's gambling scheme, the wheels of fortune at county fairs, or a vote on the prettiest girl at a church social. She is bringing the power of her insulted womanhood against the prize flht until soon that disgrace shall be wiped out. With equal ardor she attacks all the leeches sappinsr at her country's blood. She is breaking, her pitchers without the walls and the fortresses of evil are tottering. Her little barley cake of influence has tumbled amon? the hosts of sin. aovl rear i;uard and vanguard are trembling. With her woman's hand unstained by the pollution of a bribe she may hide still the leaven of the s holy spirit In the political measure meal, and the whole lump- shall be leavened. She is fighting with all her God-given powers not only environment, but the results of heredity as well, for the Exeat law of Sinai has never heen repealed and the sins of the fathers are still visited upon the children. All this sho accomplishes not with sneeehmaking and lobbying and wire pulling, but with hard honest toil In the name of home, for God Is In the home and her country Is but Its borders enlarged. While preparing this paper my husband vacated his study for me: GREAT THINGS FOR WOMEN. "But In the unusual quiet of that sanctum sanctorum my brain refused to evolve an idea; and pvrforce I came down to the homes with the whirr of the household about me and the music of childhood's voices in my ear. This is woman's native sphere. With her feet on the threshold cf home, the jewels of that casket in her wise, loving Christian keeping, she stands a coworker with God ,and him to whom she proudly yields her desire in loving scriptural obedience while she Iooketh well to the ways of her household the. Nation at large. With prophetic vision she exults In the time w hen all her household shall be clothed in scarlet. For she believes that her Columbia shall yet be a -crown of glory In the hands of the Lord a royal diadem In the hand of God and a praise in the earth; and that her coin shall no more be given, ns meat to her enemies. That some glad day she shall lift her tear-stained face, shadowed now by all these legalized wrongs 'unto the hills whence cometh her help oven as the old world rolled from out the gloom of the dark ages unto a brighter, better civilization. Right and might In wedlock shall rule the world. Beloved, 'male and female created He then and to them He gave dominion.'' So as we seek to lead our country Into the green pastures of a purer, better citizenship, let there be no strife between us as to the wells we shall use, for we be brethren. Together we may train our sons to eschew all forms of vice, and train them into God fearing, country-loving citizens. And our daugthers, pure as the lilies in the gardens of God. oh. let us keep them pure! Teach them to turn from the perfumed breath of an Adonis, though he lay the wealth of a Croesus at their feet. Let us whisper softly to them that she who barters not her American gold that were a small loss, but her mayenly purity and independence for an empty foreign title only is but opening the- floodgate to her starved sister who sells her birthright for her dally bread, and that no priest can say words holv enough to shrive her sin. And let us tell them to remain women. God can make men.. Then shall our daughters become true wives and mothers, fitted to train honest men. Thus in the namo of Him whose banner over us Is love, and by that billowy float that has led as a pillar of fire by night or shining cloud by day through a century's march, let us tnd together In this tattle for good. Christian citizenship. In that white ribbon let us see the purity for which our Nation should stand. That crimson flow betokens the stream gushing from the pierced side to redeem from sin national or individual. The blue tells of eternal truth that shall guide to the dome above stadded with its mare glorious stars. Those thirteen stripes flrmlv united, repeat the story of devotion of our .forefathers and foremothers. who yielded their all to make our country free. Each star baptized In tears and blood, cries

Nicholson was also received with favor, his theme being "Respect for Eaw." Mr. 'Nicholson began his remarks by discussing the necessity of teaching respect (or law. He referred to the needs of the government, to the dangers which- the American people stand face to face with; but all the while . Mr. Nicholson showed a deep faith In the stability of the American form of government. Continuing, he said: "To-day the ouestlon of Supreme Importance to the American peonle is: Shall we as a people yield to the un-American spirit of liberalism that demands exemption from restraint under the trule of personal liberty? Shall lawlessness prevail and the worst elements rule, or shall our government bo maintained in its original purity and for Its original purity? Strangely enough this un-American spirit manifests itself In a disregard for law. Now we have classes disregarding the Sabbath, other demanding more liberal treatment of tne liquor traffic. We hear the cry against puritanical restraint and for wide-open rolicle3 In our cities. The very citadel of power, the maintenance of authority against degrading e'emnts.. has been stormed, and we t.h ratrolts and Christians are forced to the rescue. But even now we begin to see the dawn of better conditions. The patriotism and Christian energy of our pfople hen been aroused. Even in the midst of gleom. hope sits serenely upon the brow of our national fortune and blls the despondent heart look for succor in the integrity of the American people. New- York city has caught the inspiration of a new era, and sitting malestlcally at th feet of the great goddess -of liberty, under the majestic leaderrhl of that true, hero and typical American citizen. Mr. Roosevelt, one thinr at lat has been determined, and that Is that even in the metropolis of our countr" the Sunday laws can be enforced. Already we are returning to the old paths, and men are beginning to learh anew that laws enacted for the protection of socletv and for the public good must be, and should be, obeyed. Just what part the C. E. Society has had In this awakening may not be determined by exsct measurement. bJt the true Endeavor life of consecration is already assimilating it?elf with the life of the Nation. The world i learning that Endeavor means applied Christianity, and the profession made in the prayer meeting is wrought out in practical form In every department of our citizen life. "The spirit of Endeavor harmonizes with the original purposes of the yowng Republic and has had much to do with the revival of the oririnal national feeling. Already the public .understands that the Endeavor citizen stands for purity, the supremacy of law and the overthrow of evil, and the old svstems of management and even of politics are crumbling under the overpowering force of consecration and conscientious rervice. legislation has already yielded to the new movement In the churches, and the rellirio's Idea, Inlected into public affairs largely through its persuasive influence, is riving a death blow to corrupt agencies and the anarchistic spirit that defies all civil and even religious restraint. The energizing forces of the younjr people societies of the churches have already become k part of the national life, neutralizing In jrreat lerre the disturbing elements that demand license to do as they olease. Never was there a time more hopeful for a continuance of this policy. The very popularity of thi organization render It un efTlclent agent to moll public sentiment, to enlighten and ouicken the pub'lc conscience, to demand that purity shall be the stand, ard for authority, nationally, socially and individually. As an indiv'dual Endeavorer. let it be understood that you stand out uncompromisingly atralnst corrupt methods, and in favor of Just laws and their enforcement: that your Influence Is against the saloon and ls lawlessness; against everything that Is unchristian, and so un-American ai to endanger tb very purposes of our existence. I-et the organization. a a whol breathe forth a consecrated national spirit. that will make ths a. beacon ll?ht to alt ih. world, leading cut of tb darkness of superstition, lgnorencs and error, and let it be understood

that any man or any set of men that dare lower the national standard of honor and authority and purity by pandering to the lawless and depraved, will meet with swift and merited rebuke. Dare stand up in'your Christian character and strike for the right and to dethrone evil. In the new movement of Endeavor work and an awakened public conscience. let us hope that the spirit that revolted aaralnst European superstition and made a new land the birthplace of liberty, will in time again cause complete national recognition of the supreme authority, and that the fellowship of saints will make Christian thought the basis of a pure government." Capt. Ell F. RItter spoke upon a subdivision of the good citizenship subject. He discussed how to exert the influence of Christian Endeavor in the matter of party nominations. He told the Endeavorers that they could not do much by reserving action until the conventions. The voting members, he said, should ro to the primaries. It Is a sin, he said, for them not to go. There is no excuse for not going. But, he added, there are wards in Indianapolis and in many other cities and communities where Endeavorers, if they should go. .would not have controlling influence. This situation compels Endeavorers to let the party managers distinctly understand that no one but a clean and safe man can get their votes. Thev must be nonpartisan as to either of the'old parties or the new. Captain Ritter said it was due to the Influence of the Christian Endeavor societies, the Young People's Taptlst Unions and the Epworth Leagues that the hundreds of petitions poured in upon the members of the Legislature for the passage of the Nicholson bill. These turned the tide and enabled the bill to pass. The State officials of these organizations met and mailed to every society in the State a copy of the bill. The effect was that every Republican In the Senate and three-fourths of the Democrats In both houses voted for the bill. It Is, therefore, not a partisan bill. "But shall we now lose It?" he asked. A storm of noes was the answer. It was, he said, the first victory for the moral sentiment of the State pitted squarely against the liquor interest. It was a vlitory all along the line, he said. There are now' sixty fewer saloons In Indianapolis than there were before. He clcsed with a stirring appeal to the Endeavorers and others who object to the domination of the salmon in politics and in society to stand in line under the flas of their country against this new Invader and destrover of homes and native lard. The speaker was liberally applauded. The Rev. R. V. Hunter, of Terr Haute, was another of the good citizenship speakers. He referred to the condition of Terrc Haute, which fs ruled by the liquor interests, of which Crawford Fairbanks is the head and center. It was Fairbanks, he said who boasted that the liquor interests of Vifco county does not allow its grand Juries to indict or Its courts to punish violators of the liquor laws. He eulogized the Nicholson law. and created enthusiasm by exclaiming: "Now let's see any party dare propose to repeal the taw." He urged the voters of the church ana the yours? people's society to make their Influence felt in the primaries, conventions and at the polls. Following this speech the convention sang ."America." nixK AGA1X crowded'.

President Burroughs, of Walm-h, and Others) Make Addresses. Rev. Dr. Burroughs, president of Wabash College, was the first speaker at to-night's meeting. President Kirkpatrick was presiding again. The rink was packed, and the first overflow meeting was announced, ' to be held in the First M. E. Church, with Rev. R. V. Hunter and Captain Ritter as speakers. It. however, did not materialize. There was the customary season of song service, led by Mr. Excell, and then Dr. Burroughs took the floor to give an exposition of the letters of Paul to the Corin-. thlans. The discourse- analyzed the entire first book, closing with the Pauline exaltation of the nature and power of Christian lyve. It was a fitting theme, Dr. Burroughs thought, for fellowship night. One would not have thought that Taul, as seen In some of his stern battles for Christ, was a poet, and yet, said the expositor, his great heart vibrated with songs of love In this wonderful letter Jto tho Corinthians. It Is a letter wry suitable, he said, to the latter years of this century, which has so many features that recall the political and commercial situation of th city of Corinth. This was a great citv. with tremendous foreign trade, and, therefore, mercenary In spirit and forgetful of God. It was a city of luxury and tho detlre for material wealth ruled.' So may America become, with its great development, not. only outside of the church, but within it. Dr. Burroughs set forth the practical value of love as the keynote of life. Knowledge, he said, puffeth up, but love bulldeth up. Love, he continued, is the greatest word the mother tongue holds. The convention showed its appreciation of the reading of Dr. Burroughs by breaking out in applause, as he CAfler Pa song, to which the full convention lent resonance and power. Rev. C. 15. Wilcox was presented as one who, four years a ko. had won the love of Endeavored at Kokomo. and had In turn become so much In love with the State that he had accepted a call to It, and Is : now the pastor of a church in Lafayette. Mr. V -llcox is a very tall man, straight and broad-shouldered, and about as handsome as Abraham Lincoln, whom he somewhat resemb es This physlci l characteristic was made use of by the speaker, who is perfectly at home in such presences, much to :he amusement of the convention. Mr. Wilcox scored the Second decided hit of the day and added to his reputation for strength of thought and eloquence and forcefulness in presentation. When his forty-minute t& k was ended the convention gave him the loudest applause yet shown any one. and the enthusiasm burst out a second and even a third time before the programme could be continued. The convention was well pleased when, at the outset, he said that, while hb church in Ifayette had an Epworth League (the first he had encountered in his pastorate), he had never ceased to owe alleirlance and love to the Christian Endeavor. Ills subject was "The Ideal Christian Endeavorer." He showed how human character had changed as Christianity had spread among the children of men. There ..... tm b said, when the forefathers troubled themselves about certain. . . 1 a. s tVlId HlV I'lirO littlA aoeinnes, uui t about such thing?. "We have rather set our shoulders together and have planted our feet upon the few essential truths to work out the salvation of the. world." he said. "There was also a time when the great men of the race were they who had the most powerful body and who stood above- their fellows in a physical way. as In the case of Samson, Achilles and Richard the Lion Hearted. For many a century the measure of a man in human estimation was as to his physical prowess. But we live now in another era. The advent of gunpowder and Krupp guns have leveled physical differences, and it is not brawn but brain that now measures tho man. We measure no longer the size of a man's arm, but of his hatband. REFERENCE TO PRIZE FIGHTERS. "The men who, among our forefathers centuries back, were leaders, are now desperadoes. The prlr.e fighter, he who is great according to the toughness of the meat on his bones, is an outlaw, and there Is no place under the stars and stripes where he can ply his occupation. (Applause.) There is no city and no Governor that will permit his domain to be disgraced by this relic of the barbaric past. It is regarded as a stigma. A voice, 'that's right.') It lias even happened that Legislatures have been called together to repair the error made by a court and to pass a law preventing a prize fight. There Is now no greatness without Intelligence. But man nan a heart as well as a head. Some of the most atrocious characters in human history have been men with great brain power. Such a man was the Duke of Alva. He had great ability, but was without heart or sympathy. Rapine and plunder marked the pathway of his warfare. It is said that the itlory of a younr man Is Ms strength, but it is the strength of his moral nature. It is tho strength that enables hlra to overcome the evil one. Christian Endeavorers, above all things, seek thia sdrenth. If you have it you are rich, while who hath not, though he be rich in material things, Is poor. Men are now measured by the standards that Jesus Christ set up. Alexander had a title of 'the great but when we of this age come to think of his unconquerahle vices and lack of self-eontrcl, we ulve him no claim to the title. The illusion fades away from us." The speaker mentioned Frederick, the Great, and Lord liacon as in the ame category of great men men whoso glory has been blurred by fatal weaknesses due to excesses. The day of the new era that is coming has made it impossible for such men to hold their high place in public estimation. What would have been called a. mere peccadillo in the days of Henry VIII Is now a crime. Neither is It possible for the lnfkb-1 to have public confidence. The speaker eulogized the genius of Robert J. Ingersoll for his eloquence and for the very many noble sentiments expressed by him for humarj liberty and said that though instrzoll bad been a

radical party man these many years, yet such a man could never be elected President of the United States, and it is probable he could not. be elected Mayor of a city. "There may be cause for some pessimism in the world," he said, "but I tell you that moral worth is Increasing. The preat men of the world are men of Christian faith. The speaker instanced Gladstone, upon whom he showered the wealth of his language In exaltation! He also instanced Bismarck as a man who trusted in God. He showed the influence of immorality in the downfall of Charles Stuart Parnell and of W. P. C Breckinridge. . The human race is coming to appreciate the men of high and strong Christian character, of which Dr. Parkhurst is an example. Why,- he said, is Governor Culberson the most popular man in Texas to-day? Because, he prevented the outrage intended upon the dignity and peace of his State. Why do men talk and praise Theodore Roosevelt? Because he has the strength of character to compel respect for the law where before it was trampled under foot. "What we need now Is moral courage in our public officials." he continued. "There was a boy who once related that God made a woman out of a man's backbone, and sometimes there seems to be a lack in man that indicates that the version is not untrue. But God will care for his own. The most sacred thing in the world is righteousness, and he who has it has the key to Paradise. I believe in American patriotism and In the saving faith and virtue of the people. Columbia shall live a thousand years." After the audience had recovered composure Miss Kelsey was heard in a soprano solo, and Mr. Excell was compelled by applause to heed a request for a solo. The convention broke up for a social hour together before seoaratlng. The. rink was. however, so packed that they could not move with comfort, and there was a crowded stream pouting out the door for some minutes. The ventilation of the hall was again bad. and another woman fainted for want of fresh air. This made pome commotion, but there were pickpockets in the hall, who plso durinr the evening session made some disturbance. All the? Reformer There. An Incident in the morning session was the remark called out by Dr. Haines from one of the ministers, Rev. Mr. Caldwell. His Presbyterianism being referred to, Mr. Caldwell said: "Yes. and my name is John Calvin, too." No sooner was he seated than Rev. John W. Brown arose and said: "John Calvin has been heard from now It Is time for John Wesley to speak. If those two men were here to-day I believe they would shake hands and Join forces in Christ's service. And if they wouldn't then we would force them to." As Mr. Brown took his seat, a young lay member arose from a seat in the audience and said: "Now you will hear from Martin Luther and then he proceeded briefly, after the laugh subsided, to relate the rapid growth of his society as the result of earnest methods of building up the society. Contest for the !ext Convention. The executive committee met yesterday afternoon to hear the arguments of the several committees which are applying for the next convention. ' The cities competing are Logansport, Richmond and Muncie, and Winona Assembly had a committee present to urge that the next convention be held at the Presbyterian Chautauqua during the summer months. The committee had photographic views of the park and made an attractive argument for the convention. The only reason given for not entertaining the proposition is the fear of the cry of denomlnatlonallsm. The committee will announce its decision Saturday afternoon. The Committee. Just before the noon recess the committees were announced as follows: Resolutions Charles Allen, Jeffersonville; Marlon Robinson, Madison; Dr. H. J. Hall, Franklin; Mirs Hessle Matthews, Thorntown; Miss Maggie McBride, Bluffton. Nominations Rev. M. M. Bin ford, Richmond; Rev. A. M. Hootmen, Union Cltyi James E. Taggart, Jeffersonville; Mrs. A J Prather, Greensburg; Rev. J. C. Kauffmann, Logansport. Credentials Miss Jesnle Donnell, Greensburg: Miss Bertha Holmes, Kokomo; Miss Carrie McNltt, LogansporL Kndenvor Note. Rev. Dr. Haines, as usual before C. E. audiences, scored a success. The music of the day was better than on the first night. Mr.. Excell sang a solo, "It Pays to Servnijesus,' with- much feeling and effectiveness.;' Mrs. . W.

HIS NAME IS GILBERT

AXD UK HAILS FROM TIIK GHOSTLY SHADES OF SPIRIT LAKE. A Dark Hore Shooter AVIn the 13 n.pont Trophy, AVI ngr Championship -of the AVorltl and n Rich. Parse. BALTIMORE. Md., Oct. 23.-Fred Gilbert, a dark horse in the race, who halls from Spirit Lake, la., won the Dupont cup,- the wing championship of the world and a fat purse In the pigeon-shooting tournament which came to an end here this afternoon. It Is said that Gilbert never entered a tournament before in his life, but he shot like a veteran, thus repeating the performance of John G. Mcssner, of Pittsburg, who won the Grand American handicap of 180o, although it was his first tournament. McAlester, the well-known wing shot, who formerly lived In' Philadelphia, but now lives in Baltimore, was Gilbert's most dangerous competitor, as no others than these killed twentyflve straight birds. Captain Jack Brewer, the veteran New Yorker, came very near it though, as he did not fall down until the last bird of the twenty five got away from him. Then .he lost his temper and missed his second bird In the shoot off for third and fourth money, and got nothing. . ' When the shooters left off . last night twelve of them had killed eleven straight birds each and as many more had bagged ten. The leaders were Upson, Porterlleld, Willey, Coe, Wagner, Brewer, "Hayward" (McAlester). Gilbert, Clarke, Cooper, Mlllot and Schmeck. On resuming this morning It was announced that only those who had killed ten birds would shoot unless it happened that all missed three birds, when the tall-enders might try it again.' This cut the list down materially and made it possble to finish the match today. The day was bright and clear, with a stiff wind that blew In gusts across the field, making it a hard matter to lilt a bird if he flew with It. The pigeons did not prove to be a very lively lot, however, a large proportion of . them refusing to rise at the fall of the traps. When each man had shot at bis twentieth bird, but four were In the race for first money. These were Gilbert, Coe, "Hayward" and Brewer. Coe fell down on his twenty-second, a likely right quarter that ilg-zagged badly as It flew. Brewer hurg on until his twenty-fifth bird wa released and banged away at it with both barrels as it sailed quietly off to the right quarter of the field. It was such an eajy one that the crowd was disposed to guy the Captain a little for missing It and when he got, mad they laughed at him. This left no one in for first money save "Hayward" and the smooth-faced young man from Iowa, and It looked like a sure thing for the man who once shot Dr. Q. L. Knapp, in Babylon, L. I., for $3,000 a side and won it. Something was "xrong. however, and he, too, missed the second bird of the five that were to decide the championship. Gilbert went right ahead with his good shooting, killing the five straight in magnificent shape and landing the trophy, the championship and the money. He was vigorously applauded and the trophy, which is a handsome silver cup on a stand of onyx, the whole valued at J6."0. was handed to him, whereupon he went to an adjoining tent and had his picture taken, trophy and all. "Hayward" got second money. The men who had killed twenty-four birds shot off the ties for third money and Wagner got It. ; fourth money going to Coe. King had especially hard luck, as after missing his first bird." which was one of the most difficult during the match, he killed twenty-four straight. In the first tie he killed five straight, but fell down on his first bird, when the second tie for third money was being shot off. Thus he aotually killed twenty-nine straight, or only one less than the new champion, and does not get a cent of the money. Following Is a summary of the shooting: Dupont handicap for the Dupont trophy and the championship of the world; 2M live birds; entrance fee, $25. Total purse, $1,290; first .money, 40 per cent.; second, 30 per cent.; third money, . 20 per cent.; fourth money, 10 per cent. Names. Handicap Yds. Killed. E. Brown 27 9 drawn J. Tlmmons 2 9 drawn H.

Gilbert Is remembered by all who attended the State shooting tournament In Omaha in July, when he took everything in sight. Those who saw his work there will not be surprised at his winning in the great handicap. He was placed at tho twenty-seven yard mark, much better than he was entitled to on the form he displayed at that meeting, for Captain Brewer nOr no man living can afford to allow him seven yards on live birds. He is comparatively unknown among trap-shooters, most of his shcoting having been in the field, he being a market hunter by profession. At the trans he is. cool and rollected and shoots with the best of judgment. He is more deliberate than a majority of the cracks, but not enough so to be termed slow.
