June l5.-The president's chair at Del'auw University, from which Dr. J. 1. D. John resigned last year. Is again occupied. As outlined In Tuesday's Journal, Dr. Hilary A. Gobin, who for the past year has been acting as president, and was vice president of the university, was elected president. His elevation to the position of president is a piece of luck which people who . have known Dr. Gobin for years never expected him to have. Ills ability was never spoken of as anything brilliant, but his many friends here are well pleased. Dr. Gobin has been connected with the university nearly twenty years. Originally he held the chair In Greek, and his reputation as a teacher was confined to the four walls of old Asbury University. While his ability as a teacher and as a preacher are only ordinary, saying the very best, he has cultivated the good will of the students and become somewhat popular since Dr. J. X. D. John retired. His sympathy with college sports made the students unanimous In their desire to have him president In name as well as fact. IIl3 election Is largely the result of chance. The scheme last year was to elect Dr. Sims, of Indianapolis, until the exposures concerning the cabal against Dr. John caused the board of trustees to leave the presidential chair vacant for a year. Dr. Gobin's qualifications being largely negative, he drifted between both the contending factions, and has finally landed in the place so well filled by President John and the lato Alexander Martin. After a two days' seslson the Joint board of trustees and visitors closed its business meeting to-day. Most of the time was epent In discussing finances, as that is the main question before the board now, and has been for two or three years. Tho Hnances were found in as good condition as could be expected since the great waste of funds shown last year. Some of tho collections of interest on the endowment fund are reported slower than desired, and there 13 a crying need for men of business ability to take hold of the university affairs. Kvery one believes that some prominent man at the head of -the Institution would quickly restore confidence in tho university management and make It easy to Increase the endowment. The plan for next year is about what If has been for the one Just closing, alight retrenchment was Inevitable, however, and Prof. Jesse Johnson, an Instructor In Latin, was relieved, and his work will be divided among others In the department. Strong resolutions indorsing Prof. Johnson's worth as a teacher were passed. Dr. Post, of the chair of Latin, will now devote his entire attention to his teaching work, and will thereiore be relieved as librarian, a position ho has filled for many. years. Miss Mattle li. Longdon, who has been assistant librarian for a number of years, was elected librarian. The exhibit of pupils' work of the School of Art, at Simpson Art Hall. Is of unusual variety and interest the best the school has ever had, according to the many visitors. One room In the exhibit Is devoted to art photographs and to original drawings for engravings from the Harper's and Sorlbner's which have been received as donations during the past year. In addition to the exhibitions .of pupils' work tho school had once during the year a loan collection works of Mr. Steele and Mr. Stark, two of Indiana's fading artists which was both enjoyabnt and profitable to tho school, and also to tAe visiting public.

DEGREES AT KARLIIAM. Washington Gladden Addresses the Clams on "True Socialism." Special to the Indianapolis Journal, t RICHMOND, Ind., June 10. Earlham could not hold the immense crowd that gathered this morning to listen to the address' of Dr. Washington Gladden to the graduating class. .Piofessor Elbert Russell led In prayer. Following this camo a piano duo by Miss Elizabeth Schneider and Mrs. Flnley. President Mills then Introduced the speaker, who addressed the audience on the subject of "True Socialism." Following is a synopsis of his remarks; "My theme assumes that there is a trus socialism; that among the various discordant ideas that exist regarding this great subject there does exist a true one; that among the many exaggerations there are grains of truth. In the beginning it should be understood that socialism 13 not anarchy; They are similar in no respect, except that' both find fault with the existing social condition. In - their remedies, however, they are antithetical. Anarchy would have no government at all. but government with the socialist is the custodian of men's rights, tho guardian of their welfare, and ho accordingly recks to enlarge It. He insists that government grows as civilization advances. The Inequalty of condition In the social world, steadily Increasing, the growth of poverty while plenty bursts our warehouses, are features of the present industrial regime that greatly concern tho socialist. The contest between the employer and the employe, the contest between brain and hand work arc signs of tlio times that cause us anxiety. It is the tendencies and temperaments of the social life that most concern us. If they are right the methods v.ill be right. The deepest need is not a change of form but a change of aim." The genuine socialism exists not In the letter, but la the pplrlt. The truo socialist Is one who never forgets that he is u member of society, and that VAs every act affects cvry one else. lie rejards hia worL" as a social work. With th& untrue

socialist the relation he sustains to his fellow-laborer rarely. If ever, occurs to him. He only thinks of the personal gain he Is to receive from his labor. The one who thinks when he chooses his life vocation of the good he may do for society, and chooses the vocation for that reason, is n true socialist, and one whom the world will classify as a crank or hypocrite. . "The oil Idea, the idea advanced by the old political economies, and which forms" the groundwork for modern anarchy, was that every man should work for his own selfish interest. It was believed and urged that in so doing h would eventually promote the welfare of the community. They insist that public spirit and private interests are one. but that private interest is the one. Is it the supreme duty of every individual to take care of himself? Is it so In public life? It is true that that is the view generally taken of it, and that In consequence thereof has arisen the spoils system and the debauched condition of politics, but is it the true idea? Is it not the duty of the official to work for the uplifting of the public welfare not to keep the wheels of party machinery oiled and to guide the primaries. And if it is his duty to labor for society, is It not also tho duty of the private citizen to do the same? Is there one ethical law for tho magistrate and another for the citizen? Surely the morality of officeholders does not differ from that of nonofflceholders. Is there one duty for one and anothea duty for the other? No. there Is no double standard. Both are expected to work alike for the good of society. The only difference is that the officeholder Is given better opportunities for so doing than he who has not some public trust. But he who has not this public trust must. Just the same, work for the same end with what means he can. The alternative of exclusive seilishness Is not found in minding other people's business. There are people of this kind, and they form a class of society worse than they who work for personal aggrandizement. I "The second class Is made of those who have no anxiety for any one else, and who believe that a true condition of society can be brought about by the individual working for himself all the time and on all occasions. These are the cause of all the disturbance of this period. They are the maggots in the brain of tho nineteenth century. There is nothing more false in hell or out of it than this idea. One might as well insist that a perfect state of social purity could be obtained by each one violating the laws of sanctity of sex as to insist that public good Is found in personal aggrandizement and selfish methods. "The third class works both for the improvement of self and also for the advancement of others. Social environments are as vital to the welfare of the human race as physical environments. It Is as Important to the Individual living in this social atmosphere that It should be clarified and the pollution removed as It Is 'to the physical world. This is what true socialism aims to do. My business is not my business, but It 13 tho business of society. What shall we do? It Is not easy to answer unless we answer In the negative. We ape to choose no kind of labor or occupation that Is Injurious to society; that is, if we obey the law of the new regime. If we desire only to follow the law of the old regime we would be at liberty to enter any business in which there were personal profits, regardless of Its effects on our fellow-man. The gambler, whether he appear as a dealer In stocks cn the exchange or a crap shooter in some alley, and the saloon keeper are examples of men who have chosen their business under the old regime. Their position in society is no better than that of the sneak thief or beggar. The problem is more than what you will do it Is also how you will do It."

MRS. ANNIC DYER EXECUTED IN FAMOUS NEWGATE PRISON. Cold-THooderl Murderess Who Was Charged with Stransllne Scores of Infants. LONDON, June 10. Mrs. Annie Dyer, tho baby farmer, of Reading; who was arrested on April y on the charge of murdering many infants Intrusted to her care, was banged-"In .Newgate prison at S o'clock thi3 morning. Mrs. Dyer was one of the most extraordinary criminals of the age a wholesale, cold-blooded murderess.' The police first became suspicious of her and her son-in-law, Arthur E. Palmer, early in April, when the bodies cf a number of children, apparently strangled to death, were recovered from the river ' Thames, where they had been thrown, weighted down with bricks, etc An Investigation led to the arrest of Mrs. Dyer and Palmer. Letters found in her house showed that many of the parents with whom she and her accomplice had dealings were aware of the fate intended for the infants, These letters were from jtersdhs1 ln all ranks of society. The coroners had long been puzzled at the fact that so many bodies of Infants were found in the Thames between Wapping and Battersea, some of them naked and others wrapped in old linen-' or brown paper, but all of them weighted down in some way or other and all of them evidently' strangled to death. The preliminary examination developed a most horrifying condition of - affairs. It was proved that since Christmas at least twenty children had been intrusted to Mrs. Dj'er's keeping and of this number only four were then living. In addition, prior to Christmas, many other children tnat had been placed in -the woman's charge were unaccounted for and are admitted to have been murdered. A conservative estimate places tho number of children killed at forty, but other estimates have it that as many as one hundred Infants were either strangled or drowned by Mrs. Dyer. Mrs. Dyer and her son-in-law lived In Reading, where they, had a great reputation for piety. Over the door of her home was a figure of Jcsu3 Christ, beneath which was the inscription: "Suffer little children to come unto me. and forbid them not.. for of such is the kingdom of heaven." Mrs. Dyer has been arrested on four previous occasions, but somehow she not only managed to escape punishment, but succeeded in maintaining her reputation for piety. But in court the woman's nerve entirelv deserted her.- She had a dejected, terrified look and apparently was in despair and saw the gallows ahead. The babv farmer was a gaunt, yet fairly goodlooking woman of about fifty years of age and she seems to have derived quite a good income from her crimes. Three children were found at Mrs. Dyer's residence, where she was arrested. They were a boy seven years of age. a girl of eight vears hnd a boy of three months. There is 'little doubt that they. would have gone the wav of the other charges of the baby farmer had the latter not been arrested. Some Idea of the exteat of the business done by Mrs. Dyer may be gathered from the statement that baby clothes weighing nearly three hundred pounds were found at her house when the police made the first search. A box containing the elecomposed body of an infant was also discovered in the woman's dwelling, evidently having been placed there, while she awaited the opportunity to thrOw It into the Thames. Little by little evidence against Mrs. Dyer was gathered.-.'A large piece of brown wrapping paper. In which tho body of one of the infants was foundwwas Identified by a railroad porter ns being the covering of a parcel which he delivered to the prisoner. It was further proved that Mrs. Dver started on one Journey with a baby and a carpet bag and that when she returned she had the bag. but the baby was missing. In all cases Mrs. Dyer insisted on being paid before taking charge of any Infant, the sums varying from $."0 to J300. She also made considerable money by pawning or selling the wardrobes with -which nearly all the Infants were furnished. . The particular orey of the baby farmer were single women who had been misled, or servants and poor, working women who were unable or iinwilling to tako care of their children- In such cases Mrs. Dyer would write that she was glad to have the chance of having a "dear little baby to bring up and call her own. not for the sake of money, but for the darling's company." In some instances parents tried to regain possession of their children, but when they became too pressing and danger was in the air Mrs. Dyer would move and the parents, generally too psor to employ legal assistance, would give up their attempts. Late in April Mrs. Dyer made a written confession, admitting the murders of which she was accused. It was proposed to Introduce the plea of Insanity In her defense. She was examined later by a physician employed by the Home OfTlce and was declared to be sane. On May 21 Mrs. Dyer was indicted for murder, and on the following day she was sentenced to death. In prison Mrs. Dyer mad several nttempts to rommlt suN cide. At Reading she tried to Ftrangle herself with lier shoe laces. Come time later sb" tried to force a handkerchief down her throat, and on another occasion she attempted to cut her wrist against a niece of iron. The baby farmer's last ntttmnt at suicide was on May y,. in Newgate prison. vhen. while lying in bed. apparentlv asleep, she twisted a handkerchief around her throat nnd almost succeeded in strangling herself.

CROWD OF 10,000 SEE THE STREET PARADE AT CUAWFORDSVILLE. Largest State Convention In. the History of the Association Reports of the Officers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CRA WFORDS VI LLC, Ind., June 10.The second day's session of the State Sunday school convention opened at 8:30 o'clock this morning with a prayer-meeting. At 8 o'clock there was a discussion of "County and Township Officers." Thi3 was in charge of Marlon Lawrence, and was participated In by Harry McGraw, of Corydon, and Charles F. Coffin, of Indianapolis. The general Idea brought out wa3 thai there should be an organization In every county and township, having a constitution and a president, treasurer and secretary. Four conventions should be held each year in every county. The holding of conventions on Sundays was not looked on with favor, as it seemed to cause a certain amount of Sabbath desecration. Tho "association day" comes on the second Sunday in September, and that is when a collection of one cent from each pupil is asked for the purpose of carrying on the State work. Stato President Coffin said ,that "the State Sunday School Association is doing more for the schools of every denomination than the denominations . theonalvcs." A call was made for the number of organization officers present from each county In the State and eighty-one responded. . The report of State Superintendent Meigs, while not complete, showed a substantial gain during the past year.' In 1S04 the townships having organizations, from which complete reports had been received, was 3Vi per cent.; in 1SS5 it was SC per cent, and this year it is 63 per cent. Now there are C37 out of 1,018 townships organized in Indiana. There were 810 township ,, conventions held last year, and Cass county headed the list with 40. There had been 47 county reports handed in, and there were 259 new schools organized. In nineteen counties 173 schools usually being dismissed during the winter, kept open. The counties of Cass, Elkhart, Fountain and Montgomery were classed as banner counties, having held one or more conventions during the past year in every township and had turned in complete reports. Seven counties report fifty-two schools running the entire year around, and every school in Fountain county Is in session fifty-two Sundays In each year. Forty-seven counties have home departments, and there are 278 departments In the State. Twenty-nine county seats have been canvassed this year to thirty-two last year. Tipton county was completely canvassed. There are 1.174 persons engaged in the work, reaching 134.947 pupils. The superintendent had, during the past year, visited seventy counties; was. present at sixty-seven county conventions and eight township conventions, and was at twelve special meetings. He made 2ol addresses and wrote 3.C00 letters and cards. He said Shelby county always had big conventions, and In this county thejr have oratorical contests on the following plan: Each school holds a contest, and the winner represents the school in the township contest, where the best is selected to represent the township in a county contest. A banner is here given to the winning school of a .township, and is held a year or longer, depending on what township wins the next time. For .illustrating the work, it was stated that before Allen county was canvassed It was thought that organization work was not the proper way, but a man and woman were employed and at the end of the year they had visited 800 families, organized twenty-three new schools; had 623 conventions, and the cost was not $o35. "Practical Normal Work" was the theme cf a talk by 11. M. Hamlin, of the Illinois Internatlon Field Workers. He divided his points into three sections Bible, school, teacher. There seems to be a growing desire on the part of Sunday school officers and teachers to make a careful study of the Elble, and to bring this about there must be organization. C. F. Coffin, the State president, here announced his committees on nominations for officers, and on resolutions. Thero are forty-three persons on the nominating committee and five upon the committee on resolutions. During the morning session a solo was sung by Clark Learning. The convention adjourned until 1:30 o'clock to view the parade. v SUNDAY SCHOOL PARADE. The Sunday schools of Montgomery county had a parade this morning, and filed past tho church, where the convention, massed on the sidewalk, gazed on the small boys and girls marching, and men, women and children in buggies, wagons, etc. The parade vvas headed by tho drum corp3 and was an hour passing a given point. It has been estimated that 10,000 persons were In the city to-day and in the parade, which ended at the fair grounds, where the country people had. spread a dinner of all the good things obtainable. The afternoon session was opened with a song service, followed by scripture reading and prayer. Charles L. Weaver, the State secretary and treasurer, made his reports. He said that he had not had proper time to get up his report, and Intimated that to get a man to properly do this work there must money in it. The number of counties represented in this convention, was 84; number of counties making the best report ever made before, 42; (during 1S03 it wa3 33.) There, are 5.0 IS Sunday schools in the State, against 4.K?1 last year, a gain of 175. The report of last year showed 433.01)3 pupils enrolled, and. this yetr 618,214, a gain of 1S3.121. Of the Sunday school army in the State of 18.214. 60 per cent. Is children, or 370.ji28; Children are able to tell what pictures 724,6-iO, which -shows that SC3.712 do not go to Sunday school. Last year 361,415 children did not attnd. a gain over last year of 197.313. The enumeration net shrinkage is 63,43a, leaving a net gain of 133.357. Last j-ear 31 pr cent, of children attended Sunday school, and this year 30 per cent. The total receipts were $3,705.09; disbursements, J3.C44.47, leaving a balance on hand of $62.30. and the salary of the superintendent is due since March 1. "Primary Work"was the subject of an address by Miss Mary Louisa Butler, of Chicago. She thought that the best way to make a lasting impression on the child was to teach by means of pictures, which serves to imprint the Ideas on the mind. Children are able to tell what pictures mean by sight long before they could read. She then showed by word pictures how to interest the youthful minds, and how proper and necessary to make children happy and contented. "Better Teachers and How to Make Them" was talked about by H. M. Hamlin. The person who does not desire to become a better teacher should .not teach. Some few are born to teach: some more have It thrust upon them, but the successful teacher must achieve the way to bnn? success in this line by personal effort. The great mass of teachers are self-made. The way for a teacher to find out whether their pupils grasp what the lesson Is to teach is to Question them personally. Mr. Hamlin then separated the teachers into grades; the one who does not. prepare the lesson: the one who depends on the ieson leafs; the one who tries to Improve on the meeting of prominent teachers, and the one who em grasp the art of teaching In connection with their studies. The best teacher Is the one who asks questions of every member of the class; to draw out the dull scholars with eiuestlons, and not "ask tho bright, quick scholar all the questions. A telegram was received from Warsaw bearing greetings from a branch district convention and calling attention to Joshua, xvii. H-lS. The evening services opened with song service and devotional exrcis"'S. led by A. D. Craig, of Fort Wayne, The overflow meeting was hold at the First Methodist Church, in charge of Marion Lawrence. Miss Butler was again on the programme, speaking on "Th Bible and the Children." She said a Blb!e should be in primary rooms, placed in position so as to be easily seen by the children, who should be permitted to find the golden texts each Sunday. Rv. D. J. Ellison, pastor of the Fir3t Bap' 1st Church, of Indianapolis, spoke on "Tho Blhle." He said th underlying oucstlon of to-day is. "Js the Bible Inspired?" He then went on to explain the. books of the Biblo to bring out the idea ct reliability. Sixth District Endenvorers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLUFFTON.
