THE NEW YEAR'S DAY

IT "WAS A VERY DILI. OXH SOCIALLY IX I.DIAAIOLIS. The Cluh, However, Were Quite Alive Down-Town Hnr Had a HuhIiIik; Trude. In a social way yesterday was the dullest New Year's day Indianapolis ever spent. Willie Knickerbocker If he lives in InJianapoils arose at 10 o'clock, hal his usual holiday turkey ani plate of salad for dinner and put in the afternoon at his club. Ho went to bed at early canile lighting filled with regret that the olJ-fashioned customs which once glad lenei ihls heart on the first day of the year are things of the past. The smart set, surfeited on the gayetles of the last few week3, took a day ofi! yesterJay. It was not so much, that fashion had Issued an cJict against keeping "open houso" and kindred entertainment, but people were not inclined that way and there was little to induce Mr. Knickerbocker to Incase his form in his dress suit. Very few people kept open house. Formal call3 wero lew. People who owned & sleigh ana those who possessed the price of one found delights on the snow-covered boulevards. Others patronized the .theaters where a wealth of amusement was to be found. In the afternoon nearly all of the clubs kept open house, but the entertainment at night was almost exclusively confined to the theaters. The matinees drew the usual large crowds of women. Some of the theaters drew ultra fashionable audiences and there were fetching toilets galore. The bars of many of the down-town saloons were open all day. One or two hotel bars kept rear doors wide open and dispensed egg-nog and other liquors regardless of the statutes. A PIXB AGAINST TUB MAYOR. The Elk Assessed Him $1 for the Offense of Holding Office. The Elks gave an Informal reception last evening at their hall on North Meridian street. After the Reception, at which refreshments were served, an interesting and characteristic entertainment was held in the lodge hall. James Healy was In the chair and one of his first acts was to fine Thomas Taggart $1 for being Mayor of Inclianoplls. Mr. Taggart paid his fine and tren made an appeal to the members of the lodge with the result that Mr. Healey was removed from the chair and Jacob Ros was chosen for the place. Fines were imposed without mercy, members being assessed for standing when there were no seats and for being backward when they couldn't get forward. "Little Sara" was the first on the programme, with an Italian dance. Recitations were given by Bruce Ellis, of this city. Hatch U Smith, of the "Span of Life" company; Mr. Thompson, of the Katie Emmett company, and Mr. Neal, of the Henry Morris specialty company. Fred Luceive, of the latter company, gave a very clever musical act. Maurice Mack, of this city, sang several topical songs. At the Y. W. C. A. The Young Women's Christian. Association observed the first day of the new year on an extensive scale. At the association rooms, No. 133 North Meridian street, there were hearty greetings and delicate refreshments and a choice programme of musical and literary selections. The young women of the association kept open house between, the hours of 3 o'clock In the afternoon and Id o'clock at night. About four hundred people called during the afternoon and evening. The young ladles were assisted in receiving by the board of managers as follows: Mrs. F. F. McCrea, Mrs. K. L. Griffith, Mrs, Grace Wood. Mrs. L. W. Fisher, Mrs. Alfred Stratford, Mrs. E. G. Cornelius, Mrs. W. W. WInslow, Mrs. N. H. Klpp, Mrs. R. W. Furnas, Miss Julia Moore, Mrs. J. J. Brown, Miss Mary Butler, Mrs. J. H. Lowes. Mrs. A. B. Mitchell, Mrs. II. G. Gaylord, Mrs. L. It. Wales. Pretty decorations made the rooms bright and attractive. In the large dining room decorations of green were prominent. Here the guests were served with coffee in dainty cups by dainty hands. In an adjoining room ices and other refreshments were served. Here the decorations were entirely of pink. Cedar and evergreens trailed along the balustrades and swung in festoons from the parlor chandeliers. At the Marlon Clab. The members of the Marlon Club received their friends In their usual hospitable style. Between the hours of 4 and 8 o'clock yesterday evening a constant stream of visitors poured in and out of the club on Ohio street. The decorations of the rooms were especially attractive. The walls of the double parlors on the first floor were draped with the American flag and large pictures of Benjamin Harrison, Charles W. Fairbanks and other prominent men of the Republican party, living and dead, were Displayed. The guests partook of refreshments In the dining room, and were then furnished with a carnation and a clove. A feature of the entertainment was the fancy dancing of little Sara Mae Bodwell, of Denver, who is on her way to New York city. This young lady executed the most bewildering steps and fairly dazzled the older and more staid members of the club. An orchestra furnished music throughout the evening. There were no speeches. Company A Entertains. Yesterday afternoon Capt. H. C. Castor and the members of Company A, Second Infantry, kept open house at their armory. No. 121 East Pearl street. The officers and many of the privates were In full uniform. The armory was brilliant in patriotic colors, and a large picture of George Washington, with, the pictures of Siieri Jan and Sherman swung on each side of it, attracted much attention. During the afternoon refreshments in the way of lemonade and sandwiches were offered the guests, and last night. the visitors were invited to partake of hard-tack and army beans. An entertainment consisting of recitations, wrestling and boxing matches was given last night. Odd Fellow Keep Open Honse. Cantons 2 and 42, I. O. O. F., assisted by the ladies of Olive Branch Lodge, No. 10, Daughters of Rebekah, kept open house yesterday afternoon at the hall of the Grand Lodge. Last night Canton 44, I. O. O. F., also kept open house at the same place. The stage was tastefully decorated with potted plants, behind which an orchestra furnished excellent music throughout the day. Light refreshments were served and many members of the order, as well as a number of their friends, were entertained. Y. M. C. A. Has u Dinner. At the Young Men's Christian Association rooms guests were received from 5 to 10 o'clock. Decorations consisting of the stars and stripes and the association colors, white ar.d gold, were profuse. There was music all afternoon and evening. From 5 to 7 o'clock dinner was served to members whose homes are out of the city. Afterward all who called were Invited to refreshments. Last night several hundreds people witnessed some spirited games of basket ball in the gymnasium. The liny nt the AVorkhonse. Capt. H. II. Wheatley, the new superintendent of the workhouse, celebrated hl3 Induction into office yesterday by treating the prisoners to a turkey dinner. G0MPEKS COMES TO THE CITY. Xpw President of Federntlon of Labor Taken Charge of His Office. Samuel Gompers, the newly elected president of the American Federation of Labor, arrived in the city yesterday and registered at the Bates. He will make this hotel his headquarters for a few days until ho selects a permanent home for the time he will be here. He says he will not move his family here on account of the many chances for a change in the office in one) year, when he may be succeeded by some other man. Ills work necessitates considerable travel, anyway, and he could not be with his family if it were here. Mr. Gompers was the Hrst president cf th federation, tak ng the office in 1VJ1, at the time of the organization of the order. He continued in office until 1SS7 without salary, giving r Is evenings to the work and continuing at his trade during the day. In li7 the office was mad salaried and

he then held It until December, 1891, when John McBride, of Massillon,' O., was elected in his stead. Mr. Gompers was reelected at the meeting last December. In a conversation last night Mr. Gompers said: "There never was a brighter outlook for organized labor. Conditions are good for the increase of membership in all organizations. I look forward to the time when every national labor organization In the country will affiliate with the federation. I think the federation has solved a great labor problem. It has passed long beyond the time of experiment, and we can now arrive at conclusions with the cold facts of experience to guide us. We began on a new line by taking in different organizations without disturbing their own affairs in the least. Tnat was the great trouble with all other crganizations that have attempted to do what, is now being done by the federation. We do not take any of their powers from them and do not attempt to dictate. We do not even give advice until it is sought, and even then the branch organization is not compelled to accept it. It Is only when a matter is placed in the hands of the federation and we are given authority that we can cr attempt to do anything. For these reasons I think it Is only a matter of time when all the national organizations will affiliate with us." John. McBride. the ex-president of the federation, left for his home in Masslllon, O., yesterday. .He says he will take some rest for a few months, which he says he has not had for ten years. BERG APPLEGATEDE A D

I1R "WAS ONE OF TUB IlEST-KNOWN Bl SINESS MEN IV THE STATB. Member of Firm of Severin, Oatermeyer A Co. Cerebral Hemorrhage Brought About Death Last Mgtat. At 11:33 last night Mr. Bergen Applegate, one of the best-known business men in Indiana, died at his home on North Meridian street of cerebral hoemmorhage. His family and Dr. C. I. Fletcher was at his bedside when death came. For several days the physicians have given his relatives no hope and yesterday afternoon it was seen his demiso was a question of "only a few hours. An attack of the xgrip brought on the cerebral hoemmorhage. Mr. Bergen Applegate was born fifty-three years ago this month, at Dayton, O., where his mother still lives. While yet in his early youth he went to Cincinnati, where he secured a position in the grocery house of Robert Hosea. Mr. Schnull, of this city, saw Mr. Applegate there as shipping clerk and he took a fancy to him and persuaded him to come to Indianapolis. This he did in 18CS and went to work for A. & H. Schnull as shipping clerk. About 1SC3 he went with E. B. Alvord & Co., and remained there till ISC6, when the firm retired from business. Mr. Applegate then started in for himself and was a merchandise broker, the first ono in Indianapolis. He was in the business until Severin & Schnull began the wholesale grocery business in 1963. A year or two later Mr. Schnull retired from the firm and Mr. Ostermeyer became a member of the firm which has continued to this day as Severin, Ostermeyer & Co. Mr. Applegate went Into the firm at the same time and has been with them ever since. He was a man of remarkably steady habits and thoroughly systematic. Every Monday morning for over twenty years he has gone out on the Jeffersonville road to Franklin, Edinburg or Columbu3. He has always kept the books of the firm and took the business trips each week as a relief from the indoor work and partly on account of friendship for the men who were his customers In those places. Within the last three months he has had an assistant at the books In the office. To know him well was to have a friend and one who would stick closer than a brother. It is firmly believed that he had not an enemy in the world. He had a reputation for integrity not excelled by any business man o,n Meridian street. Whenever he agreed to do a thing in a trade he expected to do it and live up to it to the letter. Mr. Applegate was president of the Wholesale Grocers' Association of Indiana and his death is a loss to the association, for his place will be hard to fill. In the meetings of the. association whatever he had to say was listened to with great attention. His counsel was regarded as of the very highest. He could do more to settle a disputed point than any other man in it. Every man was his friend and his face will be missed more on South Meridian street than almost any other man. Mr. Applegate was married in 1864 to Mary Beaty, daughter of David Beaty, one of the old residents of this city. Mrs. Applegate died in Italy five years ago and the sad circumstances of her sudden death in a foreign country among strangers, with only her daughter with her, is well remembered. There is only the one daughter, Mary now Mr?. Will lam Plrtle Herod, who has two children. His brother, Mr. William A. Applegate, also lives here. Miss Zee Beaty, a sister-in-law, has always made her home with Mr. Applegate and Mrs. Herod. Mr. Applegate was most devoted to his family and friends. It in said of him that no traveling man ever appealed to him and was unaided. They always had financial help. He was generous to a fault. THE AUDITORS TO BLAME. Delay of the Counties In Making Their Settlements. Sixteen counties have not settled with the State. They are Allen, LaPorte, DeKalb, St. Joseph, Boone, Lawrence, Vigo, Tippecanoe, Washington, Marshall Ripley, Sullivan Whitley, Gibson, Knox and Pike. It is. not likely that the penalty of 15 per cent, will be charged against the treasurers of these counties. This is a law that has never been enforced, although it does not say that it shall be optional with the State Auditor whether it is enforced. There have, at different times, been unusual things to cause delay, and the habit has gradually become the regular thing for the Auditor to simply suspend this law, which Is mandatory. One great reason why this Is done is the injustice of it to the treasurers. It seems that the intention Cf the law was not to punish the treasurers for the delay of the auditors, but to provide against their own delay on account of having money loaned out at the time it should be paid to the State. The usual cause of the delinquency is the failure of the county auditors to prepare the settlement sheet, without which the tresurer can do nothing. The law, however, makes no provision to fine the auditor for his delay, but places all the penalty against the treasurer, who. in most cases, is simply waiting for the auditor to do his duty. Of the sixteen counties that have not settled there is not one case in which the auditor has forwarded the sheet to the State Auditor. A cause of the delay on the part of the auditors is the fact that so many of them are new at the business having taken charge of their offices last November. They did not realize the amount of work necessary to make up a settlement sheet and did not begin the work soon enough. THE BODY WAS STOLEN". DeGrnff Patterson Remains Not Al lowed to Rest. A week ago last Monday the body of DeGrafC Patterson was burled in the county iurlal grounds by undertaker Foutz. At that time Mrs. Harvey, a daughter, made complaint to the police that there was an unusual delay Jn the burial and asked that It be Investigated. It was reported to the police that the body had been buried about the time the complaint was made. Mrs. Harvey became suspicious and had the grave opened by undertaker Willis, who found no body there. Mr. Willis says he found Indications that the grave had been disturbed. The coffin had been cut open an i the ho.lv removed, but some underclothing was left in it. Mr. Foutz says he has four witnesses who saw the burial. He thinks it is no wonder the body was stolen after so much publicity about the burial. Fine Skntlng on the Canal. There was excellent skating on the canal yesterday. Thousands of people started th$ new year by putting on their skates. The" Ice was smooth and seemingly secure. The wind interfered to some extent with the sport. It was an easy matter to skate up the canal, but was very difficult to come down. Fires were built along the banks, and many a hot Wienerwurst served as dessert for a holiday dinner. The skating was the best it has been this year. Dal ton. hlh-class Hatter. Bates Houst.

STORE CLOSED UNTIL 1 O'CLOCK ' TO-DAY THE CHURCH CROWDED REV. MR. O STROM, AT ROBERTS PARK, FILLS EVERY SEAT. Much. Interest Manifested in the Rerival Service Jfovr In Progress Sermon on Christ. Roberts Parle Church was crowded last night to hear Rev. Henry Ostrum, the evangelist who Is conducting? tho revival services. Much Interest was manifested and a number of persons went forward to tho altar. The music was led by John Hillis, of Greencastle, wha Is well known here as a leader of evangelical music. He has a clear, beautiful voice and Is equally good as a leader or In solos. Last night the seating capacity of the church was not sufficient for the people who attended the meeting and extra chairs were placed at many convenient points. Even then all could not be seated. After his Introduction the speaker defended the divinity of Christ and spoke of Him as "that person who, without a sword or an army, has outlived all generals and captains; wtthout having been positively known to have written a bocJc, has outlived all contemporary authors, and outlives all modern authors; without hiving held a deed for a square foot of land, has outlived all millionaires and plutocrats; without having seen a steam engine, has outlived all explorations and continues to outlive all inventions; the poor man's friend; the rich man's counselor; the reformer of the Pharisaical church of Ills day; the rebuker of the self-centered government of His day. He stands a miracle of the ages Immanuel. God with us. Men undertake to crowd Him out of His own world, and there have been violent attempts to crowd Him out of Influence, but deep In its heart the human race knows that Christ Is Its only hope. There has been a violent attempt .to crowd Jesu3 Christ out of business. Men tell us that business is business, and religion Is religion. But business is Christianity, and Christianity is business, and there is as much difference between religion and Christianity as there is between sand land and a field of wheat. I do not think there can be a more enchanting calling open to man to-day than that of demonstrating to the world that Christ Ills teaching, His spirit. His very life can be taken Into the business operations of dally life. What is a man's business but the method by -which he finds holy enjoyment and holy defense against the suffering and the needs of those intrusted to him? Shall a man 1 an appendix to a plow, or a yardstick, or a railroad, or an ore crusher? Gol made him to be a king, and gave him his commission to subdue th earth and have dominion. And one of the saddest exhibitions of the wickedness Introduced Into his life by sin is that this king will run away from a hornet. . - "There have leen Indications or an attempt to crowd Christ out of His own church. I would not speak carelessly or thanklessly of ihat best Institution of earth to-day. the Christian church. The church was God's highway, at the entrance of which I found Christ. and I love her virtues very dearly. But she has strongly verged again upon the brink of selling out to all kinds of formularies, and statements, and trlflln.; entertainments In the place of truly enthroning Christ. They tell us that all subjects of general Interest lead up to Christ. I do not deny that there is a connection between all subjects of true interest and Jesus Christ. But the world Is hungering for Atlantic cable and tell me that thl leads UD to Cyrus W. leid. out u i naa Known nothing about Cyrus W.

It being the 'first day of the new year, North Meridian street was dedicated exclusively to sleighing yesterday. The best horses of the city were speeded over the fine course and there were many excellent contests. During the afternoon the broad street was crowded, somewhat to the detriment of racing. The sidewalks were crowded, too, with people, who discussed the merits of the different horses, but all discussions had to be carried on In loud tones, for there was a constant Jingle of slelghbells and shouts from the more enthusiastic. The course was a trifle heavy, but, notwithstanding, there were some good displays of speed. The street from St. Clair to New York streets presented indeed a gala appearance. The turnouts seen on the race course were of various . kinds, patterns and styles. There were a number of fancy sleighs and cutters, which did more grand-stand traveling than racing. There were stylish cutters with stylish horses hitched to them, but some of these stylish horses threw a great deal of snow without making any wonderful time. Several well-known race horses of local fame were In the great free-for-all, but frequently these blooded animals were bested by wiry little animals whose parents are already unknown. On a track these blooded animals could probably have left tho common horses at the three-quarters pole, but on the snow a horse must possess peculiar qualifications in order to win. During the middle of the afternoon the course was so crowded as to make speeding dangerous. The racing was all toward the south, the finish being In the square between New York and Vermont streets. The sport was spoiled to some extent by men who could not drive a .Robert J. to win a three-minute pace. For the most, these careless-drivers had livery riRS, and they raced across the street, northward, and in all directions. Interfering with the better horses. The best horses had their Owners behind them, and great care was taken. The weakness of the drivers of very 9low horses was to make a show of speed. These poor horses would be driven in ahead of the good ones, keeping the latter in a pocket, and making it appear at the finish that the poor ones were winning. Toward evening the poor horses had worn themselves out, and the course was clear for the best sport of the day. There were at least a half dozen close finishes, made while the. spectators on the sidewalks cheered. Mayor Taggart Joined the crowd during the afternoon, and he was behind a very good horse. Mr. Taggart seemed to lake more pleasure In the sport than In one of his own cabinet meetings. He was greatly disappointed because his best horses are in winter quarters, so he had to content himself with his family horse, which has seen better days on the track. XOT BOOMING CHICAGO. SI P. Sheerln, of the Democratic Committee, Denies n Report. The report has been circulated that SI P. Sheerln, secretary of the Democratic national committee, would use his influence to secure the selection of Chicago as the place for holding the next Democratic convention, in order to Improve the chances of Governor Matthews in a presidential way. Mr. Sheerln yesterday denied this report and stated that he has never expressed an opinion in favor of Chicago. Mr. fOi-erln has on file the applications of New York, Cincinnati. Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco. Gni Consumer Complain. There is yet considerable complaint from the suburbs and outskirts of the city on account of the lack of gas, although the pressure Is much better now than It was with this kind of weather last winter. John It. Pearson, of the Indianapolis company, says his company has succeeded in getting only two of its four pumps to work properly, and that for this cause the pressure cannot be brought up to what he wo did like.
