MAY SPLIT THE CHURCH. Extreme Vlervn of lie v. Sfireeber on the I'reshyterlnn Seminary Question. CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 23. The action of Allegheny Seminary in acceding to the reOUest of the Trp;hvtrii - - I Ul k".?V lil bly that all seminaries of the church shall so change their charters that these institutions will be entirely under the authority of the assembly caused a stir among the Cleveland Presbyterians, many of whom belong to jhe liberal party. Rev. Dr. S. P. Sprecher, of the Euclid-avenue Presbyterian Church, one of the most extreme and brilliant liberals in the church, said: "The liberals hoped for better than this, but are not greatly disappointed, for Allegheny is one of the most conservative of the seminaries. I don't believe the majority of th seminaries vill ac-cede to th assembly's demand. This question is more likely to split the church than was the JBrlgjcs case. The act of the General Assembly was one of as extreme tyranny as can well be Imagined." OIUTUAKV. Sylvannn Dryden Phelps, n AVellKnoirn Poet nnd Author. NEW HAVEN. Conn., Nov.- 23.-S.

ALLISON HIS FAVORITE. Senator Warren Says the Iownn Will Mnkc n, Strong Showing;. BOSTON, Nov. 23. The Boston Traveller to-day prints an interview with Senator E. E. Warren, of Wyoming, on the possibilities of presidential candidates. He says that although Reed and McKinley are generally named for the presidency Allison will make a very strong showing. "They are all very masterful men, and they are all very popular," said the Senator. Mr. Reed is a New Englander to the backbone and it is only natural that the people of New England should be with him as a unit. Governor McKinley is the pride of the people of the interwestern States. His defense of the protective tariff gives him an immense following, while his executive ability covers him with particular fa vor everywhere, and Mr. Allison has great strength out In Iowa. Indeed. I might say he is a great drawing , card in and about tho Rocky mountain States. So you see, we have three great champions in the field. Any of them would fill the presidential chair with credit." On the silver question in the South and West, Senator Warren said: 'in the Northwestern States the free coinage movement is as strongly Intrenched as ever. The people out there are crying for a repeal of the silver bill. I see that you people of the East -declare that times never have been better than they are at present," continued the Senator. "I cannot say this of the Northwest. Business is improving, however, but slowly, very slowly." Chandler In for Heed. CONCORD, N. H., Nov. 23. The Concord Leader, Senator Chandler's paper, to-night editorially gives an opinion regarding tho presidential situation, that the Republican convention will declare against a ringle gold standard; it will advocate bimetallism and demand coinage of both gold and silver as standard money, as soon as such coinage can possibly go forward in connection with maintaining the parity of the two metals throughout tho commercial world. He says further that upon this platform Thomas B. Reed is likely to be nominated and elected by almost as big a majority as Grant had over Greeley. Wants Congress to Interfere. PROVIDENCE, R. I.

AN UNUSUAL C0UKSE

CARLISLE KNDKAVOimG TO OFFSET THE RAID O.V HIS GOLD. Snhtrensurers Notified to Pay Express .Charges Both. Ways on Coin Sent In Exchange for Currency. WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. The Treasury Department to-day, In order to recoup in part its falling gold reserve, took the extremely unusual course of agreeing to pay express charges both ways on gold forwarded In exchange for currency. Secretary Carlisle, in a circular letter sent to United States subtreasurers during the afternoon, instructed them hereafter to receive gold coins In sums of $500 and multiples thereof and to pay express charges on tho gold and also on the currency returned In exchange therefor. He also instructed the subtreasurers : to receive light weight gold coin and to ascertain the exact value of such coin and pay for it at face value less 4 cents for each troy grain such coins are found-to be below standard weight. This. is believed to be the second time in the history of the government that it has paid express charges both on the gold received and the currency returned therefor. The only exception. It is said, was in 1893, when it was done in a few instances. The Secretary's letter of " instruction to subtreasurers regarding light-weight coin was as follows: "Department instructions of July D and Aug. 23, 18J3, requiring you to reject and place a distinguishing mark on all gold coins presented to your office for deposit which are found to be below the least current weight, are hereby so rnodlfied as to Instruct you, when requested, to accept all such coins at valuation in proportion to their actual weight, such valuation to be determined by deducting from nominal value 4 cents for each grain, troy, found below the standard weight of each piece, all light-weight pieces thus received by you to be held in the cash of your office, separate from full-weight coins, and each bag of such coins to be plainly marked with the amount of faco and actual values of contents. If the depositor should prefer to have the pieces that are found to be below the least current weight returned to him, you will, before returning them, stamp each piece with the distinguishing mark referred to in department letter." Canipunia Currlen Away M,C70fOOO. NEW YORK, Nov.. 23. The steamship Campania, which sailed for Liverpool today, carried one of the largest shipments of gold ever sent from this port. The shipment consisted of $4,000,000 in gold bars and $t70,000 In gold coin. The gold was not received until a few moments before the departure of the vessel. It was carted from the subtreasury to the Cunard pier In express wagons, guarded by four men. Each man held a riile by his side. It took three wagons to transfer the treasure to the pier. On the arrival of the wagons at the pier, they were driven close to the side of the steamer. An extra gangway had been put up for the use of the men who were to carry the gold aboard the vessel. They were all old employes of the company. On the dock a rope had been stretched from the port to the starboard side of the vessel to prevent the passengers anl visitors from going within ten feet of the gold.1 The strong box of the Campania is a steel vault, built on the main deck of the vessel. Its walls are three feet thick and it is guarded by a door on which there are three locks. The captain carries the key of one lock, the purser of another and the chief boatswain of the third. To open the door the three keys must be inserted in the locks at the. same time. The gold bars which were shipped to-day were wrapped in sacking to prevent wear. The coin was packed in casks about one foot hlsrh: Full casks contained $8,000 each. The gold Is Insured. I'OHICIGX-ttHOWN MAIZE. It Is Inferior to American, BeinR Deflelcnt in Protein and Fats. WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 An analysis of malza fjom the Black sea and the Danube was recently made in the chemical division of tho Department of Agriculture with a view to determine its comparative value as a feeJlns stun! with that grown in this country. Of late years these countries have been shipping corn in large quantities to Germany and Great Britain and other coun

tries of Europe, the Imports into Germany from Rourrranla alone having last year exceeded those of the United States. The advantages enjoyed by - these countries of southern Europe in competition for this trad1, owing to their geographical location and the avoidance of a long sea voyage Is believed in this country to be offset by the superior quality of..the American product, and this impression Is strikingly confirmed by the recent analysis. The samples were found to correspond in composition to poor corn grown in the United States,, being from 13 to 17 per cent;' lower in protein and fully 33 per cent, lower in fat than the averages of over two hundred samples of American-grown corn. While an average for corn the world over shows but 9.15 of protein, and this average is higher than samples from the Black sea and the Danube, tho American average Is 10.5. The samples of dent and flint exceeded this, many, indeed, exceeding 11 per cent. So with fat, the general average being but 4.23. The average for corn grown in southeastern Europe is 4.13, while the average for American torn is o i, end many samples of the latter showed ',3 and 6 per cent. The American average, as given, moreover, includes numerous samples of Inferior com and cannot be said to fairly represent tho average of corn exported. It is pointed out by the department that while these, facts speak eloquently of the higher quality of the American product they also testify with equal force to the importance of maintaining the high standard of the feeJing quality of American corn in foreign markets, as that is unquestionably the characteristic on which main reliance must be placed to enable the American growers to compete successfully with the cheap labor of southern Europe. The shipment of inferior grades of corn, under the circumstances, would be to deal a death blow to American corn exports - even to those countries where maize is used only as food for stock. ' Battle Ship Bams Loeateil. WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. The board appointed by the Secretary of the Navy, with Admiral Walker at Its head, has made a report ,on the location of the rams on the new battle ships Nos. a aud 6, recommending that they be placed eleven feet below the water line, as on the Texas, in accordance with the English system. The Bureau of Naval Construction, in Its plans fer these vessels, placed the rams five feet below the line, which is a compromise between the English system and the French, the latter putting them on the water line. The board" of construction had already made, a report on the subject, the malority recommending the adoption of the plans of Chief Naval Constructor HIchtorn. The Secretary has all the conflicting- recommendations before him, but, has not yet reached a decision. - Senhor Tlieuim's Funeral.

CHALLENGES THE MANAGER OF THE SENTINEL. Prompt Acceptance by That Paper A Public Test to Be Made. And the Result To Be Published in This Paper CAN H0BBS SUBSTANTIATE HIS CLAIM? In view of the great Importance of.thli challenge, not only to the citizens of Indianapolis, but to.the entire civilized world, the Sentinel feels justified in accepting it. The public will be interested in the outcome of what may be properly termed a public investigation of a discovery that would seem destined to become famous and prove of incalculable importance to the great mass of people who are suffering in one way and another from kidney ailments.' The offer made by Hobbs, in his challenge above alluded to, is a simple and plainly-worded one. In a nutshell, he asserts that he has discovered a remedy that will positively cure that most stubborn and common of all complaints, disease of the kidneys, which Is wrecking men and women by the score daily. The good that can be accomplished by a universal specific, one that can be administered in a simple and plain way in other words, a grand universal medicine for all kidney troubles will be hailed as a godsend everywhere. The claims made for the remedy in question are, speaking in a general sense, that the Hobbs Medicine Company, of Chicago and San Francisco, are the owners of an asparagus kidney remedy which they positively assert will cure all kidney diseases, with the execptian of those where tumors and ulcers have formed, and a surgical operation is necessary. It i not the purpose in this article to enter into a general discussion of the vast number of different forms of kidney troubles, but to treat them as a whole, as space in this paper does not permit us to do otherwise. : " It is thought that the only possible way to publicly determine the value of Dr. Hobbs's discovery is to give away to all those who are interested in this matter a sample packet of this medicine and to have it done in puch an open manner that none can question the honesty of the test. A large number of samples have been s?nt to the Sentinel office and will be handed out to all who apply, beginning Monday at 9 a. m. and continuing Tuesday until 5 p. m., Nov. 23 and 26. There will also be plvento ".-r ,r----for a free sample a little book on Kidney Diseases, which sets out in a clear, plain manner Just such Information as you want to know.

Prominent among them was that classic "Tom Hrown at Rugby." It was supposed that there could be no question as to the boy's rapture with this when it was found that he had not already read It. But as luck would have it the volume fell open as he took It up at a picture of Tom saying his prayer on that eventful first night at school. That was enough for the boy. He shut the covers smartly together. "No. sir," he rudely and forcibly exclaimed, "you don't stuff me with anything like that. I've had enough goodygoody books." In vain was it urged that "Tom Brown" was anything but goodygoody; that he would find any quantity of .fun, and mischief, and even naughtiness in It. The Illustration had satisfied him. Read It he would not. And he did not. A TALK "WITH SORDAl. He In Opposed to Money Grubbliifr nnd All Fornm of Hero "Worship. Paris Letter In London Graphic. In a modest apartment on the first floor of No. 34 Avenue de Vlllers, the library of which faces the hanusome goth'c building in the Place des Malesherbes, where (Jounod, musician and mystic, lived and died. Dr. Max Nordau, tho much-praised and muchblamed author of "The Lies of Civilization" and "Degeneration," quietly passes the even tenor of existence. For. however fiercely may wage the war of polemics, this truly learned man does not allow a singularly peaceful and domestic life to "be Intruded upon. My call upon him was in response to a personal invitation. For quite an hour we sat in the library chatting away on every conceivable subject I ensconced in a deep leather armchair, he sitting at his writing tablethe table upon whose broad back sheet after sheet of "Degeneration" was rapidly sketched and written. Dr. Max Nordau, whatever else he may be, is neither quack, cheat nor iraud. Opposed or not to his views, one cannot help at once being impressed with his candor and sincerity, accompanied by a courage which knows no fear, an unselfishness which knows no alloy. His learning and erudition are tremendous. He is saturated with Latin: he reads it. writes it. speaks it, and, I verily believe, thinks in It. He is a Duns Scotus, or an Alexander Hales, or an Albenus Mangus in plain clothes, in discourse and in disposition, while as a bookworm and a writer he is suggestive of a Jerome, an Austin of Hippo or a Thomas of Aquin. The activities of life have their solatium In the tranquil poring over of the pages of church writers, primitive and mediaeval. Max Nordau loves the "De Civltate Del." knows by heart A'KempIs. while the pages of the Vulgata especially the "Sermon on the Mount" are, as Terentius has it, his templa serena. Despite all this, he Is an "unbeliever." although, I take It. using this term, Nordau means no more than disclaiming membership with any religious communion. A man with his lofty ideas and magnificent conceptions of human conduct probably has very much more "religion" than he is aware of. and certainly as much as a large proportion of his orthodox fellow-creatures. Two things there are abominable in the sight of our amiable philosopher money scraping and hero worship. I happened to refer to the evil of bartering intelligence for mere money, when he quickly swung round in his chair, seized last month's Century Magazine, and rapidly turning the pages, said: "You are right. My own iew entirely. Listen to what I wrote on this subject only the other day." Then slowly, deliberately and with telling emphasis, he read the following passage: "I have by no means Fiven up the expectation of reading one of these days that I have been confined for so. and so many years in a lunatic asylum nay. that I am, perhaps, at this very moment an inmate of such an institution. A credulous lady who was actually disturbed by the numerous hints of this fcind wrote rae a letter. In which she anxiously begged me to inform her whether it was really true that there had been lunatics among' my ancestors; and she expressed to me her sincere relief when I assured her that the only evidence of an abnormal mental condition which had ever been observed in tho members of my family was a strange indifference to money. For several generations both my paternal and maternal ancestors have accordingly been poor. They did not understand how to make money.

Max Nordau Is equally frank In expressing his hatred of all forms of hero worship. He Is well acquainted with our country, speaks and writes the language with fluency, precision and grace, and nothing pleases hhn more than a trip to England and a quiet stay in the country with a few English friends. Five years, however, have passed since his last visit; and now tempora mutantur. . The author of "Degeneration" has become, nolens volens. a public character, and the thought is a nightmare, yes," he -aid to me. 'I am going to tako a little holiday next month In England; but It will I strictly private. Nothing on earth shall induce me to make c public spectacle of myself. I shall stay with some friends at Woking and Ashford, and pass a few days in London. I have not the slightest Intention of com) lnr out of my shell. You know how quiet my life Is. Here, In Paris, my social circle Ik confined to some half a dozeri old friends. As for patients, these only Tcnow me in my professional capacity.

There Is now In town another negro phenomenon. - A ten-year-oli gtri. vc-ry black, but without the African cast of feature?, has stirred up large audiences In certain sections of the South by her 'Tevivar efforts. She is said to be . less emotional than the "boy" revivalists, who are usually about forty years old, anl who are without a single idea. She is a child In all her tastes and pleasures except when she is In the pulpit. Here she is a serious speaker, using moderate and intelligent language and speaking close to a text. Her worJs seem to be clothed with the power to impress her hearers to suh a degree that scores at each meeting express a desire to aSopt a religious life persons who have resisted the persuasions anl menaces of preachers of education. Perhaps the lesson of her success Is that the pulpit which strives for converts has not reached the simplicity and directness which-is no constantly urged in the gospels. That a little colored rirl should be able to appeal to the intelligence of men and women seems Improbable, yet it is asserted that this child avoids all strong appeals to the emotions. That is, she does not become hysterical and lead her hearers Into an emotional frenzy. Persons who have seen much of the negroes have been struct by the peculiar qualities of an occasional ntgro. In New Orleans, wme jears aso, there wan a negro woman who was called "gifted In prayer." She was uneducated and in ordinary conversation had all the characteristics and used the common language of her race. At the prayer meeting sh was another person. Her praer wan like the reading of a poera. She had the most picturesque anJ beautiful images, such as only the poetic mind could fancy, and her phrcses were consistent with the be-uty of the thought. .
