It should be a matter of pride and encouragement to the many Indianapolis people who have taken to the dramatic profession that an Indianapolis girl has scored a decided hit in Australia with Nat C. Goodwin's company. This is Miss Ethel Browning, who is playing the soubrette roles with Goodwin formerly taken by Minnie Dupree. Miss Browning has been on the stage only a few years, but the Australian critics, with their alleged high standard of art, united in saying kinder thifigs about Miss Browning than they could find for Blanche Walsh, Goodwin's leading woman. After scoring Goodwin covertly and "The Gilded Fool" shamelessly, the Melbourne writers one and all inserted an eloquent "but" in their criticisms and proceeded to hurl at Miss Browning enough flattery to turn that young soubrette's shapely little head. A basketful of Melbourne exchanges have been received containing notices of Goodwin's performance and fhey never fail to give several lines to the "charming," "vivacious" and altogether "winsome" work of Miss Browning. She is a daughter of Mr. -and Mrs. William C. Bull, of this city. .Nat Goodwin has not Increased his fame by going to Australia. Melbourne papers with accounts of his opening week in that city have just arrived, and if the adulatory American public should read the mingled satire and condemnation of Mr. Goodwin's art contained in the many columns of notices on his Melbourne appearance in "The Gilded Fool," the destination of filibustering expeditions would be instantly diverted from Cuba to the antipodes. Mr. Goodwin's greatest offense seems to have been his determination not to act as the many English stars have been acting in .Australia. The absence of stereotyped British mannerisms, tricks and mouthmgs at once stamped him in the eyes of the Melbourne critics as a raw Yankee actor. Henry Guy Carleton's play is odiously compared with the stilted dialogue of the English problem plays. The absence of slanitrsmirched society -women as heroines is not overlooked nor forgiven. It is plain that Englishmen are writing dramatic criticism in Melbourne. Old Indianapolis friends of John Macauley, better known as Jack Macauley, of Macauley's Louisville Theater, will be pleased to hear that he has regained control of his old play house in that city, after several years' disconnection. Recently Macauley's has been under the management of Jefferson. Klaw & Erlanger, and the old familiar faces around the doors of this Iouisville landmark were temporarily absent. Macauley's famous picture gallery of still more famous players that once adorned the Macauley Theater lobby are again on the. wall, and the place has been refurnished and redecorated. Saturday night, at Louisville. Mr. Macauley -celebrated Ills return to the control of his theater with a stage partv that was a decidedly popular tvent in Louisville theatrical circles, whore Jack Macauley has always been a popular manager. Jefferson De Angelis, well known as a leading ' comic-opera performer for years and remembered here for his laughable work as Delia Fox's leading comedian in "The Little Trooper," made his debut in New York last 'week as a star in "The Calif." written by Harry B. Smith and composed by Ludwig Englander. Allan Dale says of the performance that De AnKtlis his eclipsed both DeW'olf Hopper and Francis Wilson as an acrobatic comic-opera star, and that his tumbling gymnastics on the Broadway Theater stag: should encourage every successful bicycle rider that he tthe bicycle rider) has the elements of a comlc-op"ra comedian. ' ' E. W. Townsend, the author of "Chlrimlo Fadden," has arranged to have his popular work published In London next "month. After the English have become thoroughly imbued with its clever stories, bright American wit. the engaging characteristics of the popular Bowery boy. and the significancecf "Wot fell," Charles H. Hopper will take his entire company to London in the spring and giv$ the English theater goers a still belter Idea of the interesting quality of thehir.ieter wnlcn he has made famous. Jules Lemaitrc has resigned his place as dramatic critic on the Journal des Debats. He will be succeeded by Emilo Faguct. M. Lemaitre's columns in the Dobats have often been collected and published In book form under th title "Le Theatre Contemporare." M. Lemaltre was called to the Debats about ten years ago to occupy the place left vacant by J. J. Weiss and once made famous by Jules Janin. The opening play of the fifth season at the Empire Theater, New York, was "Rosemary." highly praised oh every hand for its delightful humor. John Drew, without his mustache, and in a character ssentlally different from those with which

- o''

he has heretofore been mostly identified, was successful. Maud Adams and Ethel Barrymore also made hits. Robert Druet, the actor playwright, who played last year in the "Madame Sans Gene" company, will wed a Chicago heiress in November. Her name is Miss Mildred Loring, and she became infatuated with Druet while observing his performance in that city. Wilton Lackaye will produce one of Druet's plays in Chicago the same week. Andrew Mack's new company in "Myles Aroon" includes the following well-known actors: Queenie Vassar, Olive White, James Vincent, W. J. Mason, Davenport itebis. Palmer Collins. Henry Burkhardt.

little Georgie Olj and six madrigal boys, who appear as "gossoons" at an Irish fair score. Mary Hampton, who has been Charles Frohman's leading woman in "Sowing the Wind"" for two seasors, appeared at Hoyt'3 New York Theater last week in "The Liar, a farce adapted from the French of Alexandre Bisson by Clyde Fitch. Miss Hampton Is a cousin of Governor Matthews. E. H. Sothern's new romantic piay, "An Enemy to the King," wa? launched in New York last week, and Virginia Harned took the place of Grace Kimble as leading woman. It is now reported that Sothern and Miss Harned will be married before another season rolls around. "The Mandarin," Messrs. De Koven and Smith's new opera, will be produced in Cleveland, O., on Oct. 5, after which it will be seen in Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, returning to New York on Nov. 2 for a run at the Herald-square Theater. Olga' Nethersole, the English actress,- is quoted as saying that the Americans are the most inquisitive people on the face of the earth, and that the Boston newspaper women who interviewed her were inquisitive, impertinent and indelicate. Augustin Daly announces that he will send out no road companies this season. "The Geisha" will be produced in his theater on the 7th of September. This piece is extremely popular in London. Jules Verne and Adolphe D'Ennery are said to have received in royalties from the two plays. "Michael Strogoff" and "Round the World in Eighty Days," the sum of $400,000 each. Sardou Is writing a play for Hehry Irving, and Robespierre is its hero. An English play revolving around the same personage has just been completed. Kyrle Bellew and Mrs. Potter will act In London in September. They are now popular favorites in Australia, E. H. Sothern has acquired the American rights in '.'Mr. Witt's Widow." adapted from Anthony Hope's novel of that name. Local Announcements. Tho company of vaudeville stars that Tony Pastor brings to the Park this afternoon seems to be one of the strongest of any yet organized by the on'y Tony. Heading the list of the many favorite specialty people making up this celebrated company Is one well known and who needs but little comment as to his ability as an entertainerLew Dockstader; the pleasing society sketch artists, Clifford and Huth; the Dutch comedians, Rogers Brothers; Lawrence and Harrington, the Donavans, Maud Raymond, George E. Austin, the three Bouffons and Tony Pastor, who will entertain in his usual manner, always with a budget of new comic songs, all stars In vaudeville. The engagement is for a week, .and will be a treat of the kind theatergoers appreciate. Tony Pastor and Lew Dockstader do not often appear at the Park's popular scale of prices. There will be matinees daily. Pastor and Dockstader appear at every performance. For next week the Firk has "Coon Hollow," a great drama, and one that has played the highpriced houses for two seasons past. Commencing with a matinee to-day, the Empire will open its regular season, presenting for the first time in this city the Roof Garden High Class Vaudeville Company in a programme that will be sure to please. The advance sale indicates that the theater will be packed. Among the many prominent artists are Mile. Rialta, the lire dancer; John B. Wills and Harry Hastings, In "The Road to Ruin;" Carnes and Webster, musical artists: Phil and Nettie Peters; Miss Estelle Wills, contralto; Kursall and St. Clair, acrobatic song and dance; Christo, the 122-pound wonder; Sisson and Florence, in amusing skit, and others. Francis Wilson's Record. A fact that is frequently commented upon to tl e disadvantage of this country is that we have no actor managers on the American stage, as comoared to those of England, who, in the pursuit of fortune, care to risk any part of it in enriching the stage with productions that show a high artistic purpose as well as a desire to attract the might dollar. However true this may be of many of our prominent stars, an exception must certainly be made in the field of comic opera as represented by Francis Wilson. His career as a comic opera manager has been a fruitful one in the matter of new and elaborate productions, appealing to the higher tastes and artistic sense of theater-goers. In the eight years that he has had his own operatic organization he has made seven entirely new productions, never using any material for one that had been used in a previous production. The list is an interesting one, and recalls ambitious efforts, whose picturesque environment, gorgeous costuming and elaborate detail must always remain a source of pleasant memory. Beginning with "The Oolah." his career as a star is brilliantly recorded in the following list of worthy operatic presentations: "The Gondoliers." "The Merry Monarch," "The Lion Tamer," "Erminie." "The Devil's Deputy" and "The Chieftain. ' It is quite within reason to state that the mounting of any one of these operas cost him not less than $20,000, and in the case of the magnificent revival of "Erminie" it i"? well-known that his outlay was over $27,000. His eighth opera. "Half a King," with which he will begin his present season at the Knickerbocker Theater Monday, Sept. 14. will. It is said, compare with any of his former productions in its elaborateness, elegance of appointments, richness of costuming and the pictorial beauty of its settings. Dusouehet's New Comedy. PHILADELPHIA. Pa., Sept. 6.Mr. H. A. Dusouchet's original comedy, produced here for the first time last night by the Smythe & Rice Comedy Company, at the Chestnut-street Theater, will go far to supply the popular demand for something fresh and novel in the theatrical line. "My Friend from India" is not only a new play, but one founded on a novel basis. Theosophv opens a wide and fertile field for satire and introduces an unlucky barber, hidden within a yellow bed-spread, into a wealthypork packer's family as a member of the ancient and learned order of the Yellow Robe of India, and booms him as the genuine article of advanced social purposes. In this the author has struck an original and funny vein. The plot is made to ripple right along from one laughable situation to another from beginning: to end. The company is an excellent, one. and Frederick Bond, as the pork packer. Edward Abes, as his son, and Walter Perkins were decidedly successful in original character creations, while the women, anions whom were Marion Glroux, Helen Reimer, Kenyon Bishop. Mav Yokes and Louise Galloway, were handsomely gowned, looked well and acted with nice discretion. The Hnrriaons and Mnnrflelds. Plays and Players. Richard Mansfield and his wife, Beatrice Cameron, are warm friends of ex-Presaent Harrison. When he delivered his speech at Carnegie Hall, New York, they occupied a box with Mrs. Harrison. The actress, to whom a political meeting was a novelty, was intently interested in the proceedings, and sat well to the front of the box while Mrs. Harrison sat in the rear. The next morning nearly all the New York papers told Interesting stories of Mrs. Harrison eagerly watching her husband from the front of the box. and had sketches of her of which the actress and her stunning new Parisian hat were the model. Sullivan' Common l.uw Wife Head. NEW YORK, Sept. C Annie Livingston, for years the common-law wife of John L. Sullivan, died at Bellevue Hospital on Saturday night of heart failure and her body was taken to the morgue. She was an actress and was thirty-nine years of age. She was married to a Boston candy manufacturer, but left her husband twelve years ago to accompany Sullivan to Europe. She lived with the pugilist for some time and has also been on the stage in burlesque. Sullivan has been notified of her death, and friends will see that the body is given proper burial. Coffe and tea quietly injure many people. Nature has provided healthful grains. Postum is a delicious hot beverage from them.

A SUCCESSFUL MAGAZINE

GROWTH OF A TECHNICAL PUBLICATION PniXTED IX THIS CITY. It Began in an Unpretentious "Way, Six Yearn Ago, and Has Succeeded Beyond All Expectations. The story of the development of the Municipal Engineering Magazine, the main office of which is located in Indianapolis, from a very small beginning into one of the largest technical publications in America, is an interesting1 bit of publishing history. It was started, in 1890 as an unpretentious little sixteen page journal under the name of Paving and Municipal Engineering, r.ot "to fill a long felt want," but rather as an Immediate convenience to the editor. It was an outgrowth of the Paving Exposition, which was made such a marked success in Indianapolis and has since been imitated on a smaller scale in several cities. The exposition gave to Indianapolis a wide reputation, particularly among the smaller cities, as headquarters for valuable information about street improvements, and? this suggested to William Fortune, who was in charge of the arrangements for the exposition, that the distinction of the city in this respect could be best emphasized and maintained by the publication of a journal identified with street improvements, .while it would at the same time relieve his correspondence somewhat and would probably be sufficiently worth while in a business way. But the business end of it troubled him. He, couldn't undertake to look after that, and not having the right man at hand for the work, gave up the idea; but it wouldn't down. He spoke about it one day to William C. Bobbs, the present manager of the publishing firm of Bowen-Merrill Company. Mr. Bobbs at once became very enthusiastic over the idea and expressed a desire to join in the project as business manager. The offer was accepted and the first number was soon issued, after a very encouraging response to the prospectus, which had been sent out, much of the preferred advertising space having been engaged by telegraph. . The publication gained in strength and proportions until, in 1S93, it was changed to magazine form, and the business having in the meantime passed into the hands of the Municipal Engineering Company, most of the interest of Mr. Bobbs was bought in 1894 by Mr. Fortune, who had become convinced that there were large possibilities for the publication. The magazine has grown rapidly in the last two years. Its average monthly gain in 1895 was 40V per cent, a month ovtr 18S4, and the Increase during 1896 over last year has averaged about 65 per cent, a month. It is recognized as the foremost representative of the interests connected with the improvement of cities, embracing the field of paving, sewerage, water works, parka, etc. It circulates largely among the people who are interested . in these matters throughout the United States and Canada, and to some extent in foreign countries. It holds the world's fair award of a medal and diploma for excellence. Leading daily newspapers, such as the Boston Herald, Philadelphia Press, Detroit Tribune, Milwaukee Sentinel, Omaha Bee, Minneapolis Journal, New Orleans Picayune and others of like rank, accord it attention in the review of periodicals equally with the leading popular magazines. Probably no technical publication has received more attention or more praise from this source. The Sacramento RecordUnion says "it is one of the most valuable technical publications of the age." The Milwaukee Sentinel (talis It "a model highstandard publication.',' The Detroit Journal says "it has been a large factor in an educational way in the remarkable progress in the improvement of American cities in the last few years." The Topeka State Journal refers to it as "the American magazine which has done so much to enlighten the public regarding the improvements of cities." The Kansas City Times speaks of it as "the most helpful publication in America to all who are interested in public improvements." The Hartford Courant calls it "an excellent magazine." The Detroit News speaks of it as "indispensable." The Philadelphia Press says "it is itself a good example in enterprising and progressive work." and the Portland (Ore.) Express says: "Municipal Engineering is contemporaneous with the era of the most intelligent and thorough modern work in the physical improvement of the cities of this country." It has been further said of the magazine that its volumes constitute a library of the best literature in existence on the improvements of cities. The demand for complete files of it for college, municipal and professional engineering libraries has resulted in a standing offer of $1 per copy for early numbers, sold originally at 10 cents. .,' SECRET OF ITS SUCCESS. The success w-hlch has brought the magazine up from sixteen pages to the proportions of 128 pages a month in a few years is attributed largely to the qualities which have been so generously praised by the press. Its editorial policy has been to rely on men whose technical education and experience has distinguished them as the best qualified to discuss the questions treated in the magazine. These men are experts in their special branches, and their writings for the magazine are incidental to their practical work. Civil engineers, analytical chemists, contractors and others who have achieved the distinction of being foremost of their class have been among the writers for the magazine. The latest issue is an instance of its quality in this respect. Among its leading articles is one by Leon Malo. for thirty-seven years the consulting engineer and the manager of the Seyssel asphalt mines in France, and who was decorated as a knight of the Legion of Honor for his writings on asphalt. Another contributor in the same number is Dr. Irving A. Bachman, Ph. D., D. Sc., the foremost authority in America on Portland cement, and still another Is Robert Grimshaw, a distinguished author of books on engineering subjects and for many years a United States consulting engineer. Mr. Grimshaw is the Special renresentative of the magazine in Europe, where he has been engaged for several months in gathering information for a series of articles on engineering work in the leading cities of the continent. The magazine has already in hand enough manuscript from him. together with photographs and sketches for illustrations, for a year, but Mr. Grimshaw will continue his work until he has exhausted the field, which Is. of course, a very large one. Indeed, it is stated that the supply of manuscript on important technical subjects which has been accumulated by the magazine is quite sufficient to rill its space for many months should nothing additional be obtained. This stock is, however, continually being added to. and new arrangements are bfing made for important investigations and valuable contributions. In pursuance of the aim to make Itself of Indispensable value the magazine undertakes to furnish its readers the services of a consulting engineer to a limited extent without charge, and has regularly In Its employ civil engineers who answer such questions as may be submitted. The usual professional charge would In any case be several times the subscription of the magazine. The news service of the magazine is furnished by correspondents in the leading cities and towns, numbering nearly 500, and is compiled from newspaper clippings, of which several thousand are received each month from bureaus In Chicago. New York and Boston. These clippings are verified by the news editor of the magazine through correspondence, as accuracy is one of the principal requisites in a technical publication. Bulletins are made up from them and sent to advertisers in advance of publication in the magazine, thus keeping them promptly Informed of all opportunities for business in their respective lines. AIM OF ITS PUBLISHERS. The aim in every feature of the organization for conducting the business has been to render every kind of service that will make the magazine valuable to readers and helpful to the business of Its advertisers. It has some large advertisers who know how to use their space in an interesting way. but It has been the business policy of tfoy magazine to direct general effort chief" toward building; up with small ad

vertisements, on the theory that there will be less fluctuation in the business and larger relative profit. The magazine has a New York office, located on the eleventh floor of the Washington building, at the foot of Broadway, overlooking Battery place. The Eastern business is conducted from this office, which is under the charge of J. W. Howard, a son of Maj. Gen. O. O. Howard. He is assisted in the work by Eltinge Roe, a son of the late E. P. Roe. the novelist, and by F. T. Sargent, as special representatives. The magazine first tried the experiment of a New York office in conjunction with other publications, which is a common practice, but this was found to be unsatisfactory. Its independent and excius-.ve arrangements have proven o be an advantageous bit of enterprise. A question frequently asked at the NewYork office is, "Why is this magazine issued from Indianapolis?" The magazine itself is evidence that the printing facilities in Indianapolis are first class, and the mail advantages of a central point are believed to be of quite as much importance as the illusory prestige of metropolitan publication, which, in this instance, it has not been found necessary to depend on. The capably managed New York office meets all the business requirements. The general management of the business is conducted from the main office in this city by the president of the company, William Fortune. Charles Carroll Brown, member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, is an associate editor of the magazine, and the advertising manager is Charles O. Roemler. THE LABOR-DAY EVENTS

The Attorney-Generul Gives a Brief Opinion to Terrf Haute. The question has been raised again as to whether 'the saloons must be closed on Labor day, which Is a legal holiday. Prosecutor Huston, of Vigo county, and the Civic Federation of Terre Haute, had decided to enforce the holiday law in Terre Haute today, but a legal question having arisen, the prosecutor telegraphed to Attorney-general Ketcham as follows: "There are a number of lawyers here who say that Labor day is not a legal holiday in the sense that saloons are required to close on that day. Am I right in believing them wrong." The Attorney-general replied: "Labor dav is a holiday for commercial purposes only." This is construed to man that the saloons of the State cannot be closed to-day by officials. AVhite Cycle Club's Road Race. This morning at 9:30 o'clock the White Cycle Club's road race will take place. The start will be from the corner of Fourteenth and Meridian streets, and the route will be what is known as the Millersviile cburse. There will probably be seventy-five starters in the race.

There will be a number of tallyho and carriage parties go out to witness the race. The officers of the race will go in a tallyho. Broad Ripple Racen. This afternoon and evening there will be bicycle races at Broad Ripple. One of the prominent features of the day will be the trick riding of Clarence McLean, who is one of the best in the country. There will also be efforts to break the city track record. Jap Parrish going a mile for this purpose and Tom David going a half-mile. The Typographical In Ion. Typographical Union No. 1 met in regular session yesterday afternoon, and among other things decided to pay the transportation of all members desiring to go to Anderson. The members will meet at the hall this morning at 7:30 sharp. Library- Closed To-Day, The circulating department of the Public Library will be closed to-day. The reading room will be open as usual.

Y. W. C. A. AT WILD WOOD YOUNG WOMEN HAVE CIIAJtGE OF THE AFTERNOON SERVICES. Mix Flora Sliank'n iltlrenn-IleT. Dr. Sims Preaches Again at the Meridian-Street M. E. Church. Yesterday afternoon was the Young Women's Christian Association day at Wild wood Park and a, very interesting meeting it proved to be. The entire programme was in the hands of members of the city association and without a single exception members of the organization furnished the speaking and entertainment of the afternoon. As usual, the services were begun with a short song service led by Mr. Arthur P. Freston. The Scripture lesson of the afternoon was then read and discussed by Mrs. E. G. Cornelius, after which the real purpose of the meeting, that of demonstrating the good and extent of the work of the Y. W. C. A., was shown. The different fields of : work! were ' then taken up by different young ladies and their mode of work explained. "AssociaXion Work at Large" was the subject cf the first talk by Miss Flora Shank. Miss Shank dealt with State organization and its connection with international and world associations. The. State organization Is for the benefit and mutual aid of the fifteen distinct associations in the State. Of this number thirteen are college societies and the remaining two are in the cities. At the close of Miss. Shank's address the quartet from the Meridian-street Church rendered a selection. Miss Mary Gallion, a yovn-s coll wvK.an,. tien -;ave in ac count of the-college work and the benefit and pleasure ,'t :-fford'id the Miultnts. She said; "In the Illinois State Normal School in 1872 a number of young lady students; gathered one evening in a little room in the dormitory for the purpose of having a prayer meeting. All were pleased with the gathering and it became a common occurence to see the girls slip away to the little room, where together they had their pleasure in their own way. From these little meetings sprung the grand organization which is known all the world over. To-day the motto of the Y. W. C. A. is spoken in seven different languages. This was first a college institution, which was divided up in several large committees whose duty it was to make the life of the college students happier and full of pleasure. When the young lady leaves to go to college, oftentimes for- her first extended stay away from home, she naturally feels a little uneasy and lonesome when she thinks of the long hours she must spend alone whhe she is making acquaintances. But what is her surprise when the train stops at the little station when she is addressed by a young lady wearing the button of the association, who greets her with a friendly smile and ofTers to help her with her baggage, explaining that she was looking for her. Then comes several socials and receptions and what at first seemed the work of many weeks is done in a very short time and the young lady is acquainted with almost every student in the school. Then there are little reading circles and prayer meetings and numerous other little things which relieve the monotony of school life. In a word the work af the college association is in every way possible used to develop the young lady .socially, mentally, physically and spiritually." , Miss Susan White, the secretary of the organiza'ion in this city, then spoke of the work as carried on here. She explained the different departments, their methods and times of operation, opening the eyes of manv to the realization of the importance of the society. This organization was formed on Oct. 16 and has attained great success in its short career. Meals for the young women who are ; employed down town are served each day at the room on North Meridian street. Then there is a small room provided for the comfort of these girls. In it are several couches, a medicine case, a work basket, Thich is used by many who have mishaps which need immediate attention, and many other small articles which often come handy. During the noon hour there is often music furnished bv many of the best artists of the city On" Friday evenings there are lectures and on other evenings are various classes, teaching the members German, dressmaking or embroidery. Following Mia White came a talk by Miss Bessie Wells, the physical director of the city association. The good of the department was shown by Miss Wells, who stated that a great per cent, of the persons with bad dispositions are due to lack of physical action. This is the work of this department, to cure the sick and prevent sickness. REV. C. N. SIMS PREACHES. He Recover Snfllciently to Occupy Hilt Pulpit. Rev. C. N. Sims, pastor of the Meridianstreet M. E. Church, preached yesterday for the first time since he went abroad for his summer vacation. Dr. Sims was compelled to return abruptly by serious illness, from which he is slowlv recovering. Large congregations were present yesterday to welcome the beloved pastor. Last night he preached from Rev. ill, 5: "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out

"Tl ivior himself," said the pastor, "was ed by passions, temptations to err and great conflicts with the evil one. If a man here tonigh determines that he will stand firm in the week to come and will not yield to temptation will speak the truth at all times and will keep himself pure and spotlessdo you think he would accomplish that without struggles? If you attain to true manhood or womanhood you must reach it through struggles. There are conflicts everywhere In this world. Take the conflict for subsistence: it Is everywhere. A man was' talking to me only yesterday a man accomplished ' and competent. 'Where shall I turn.' he said, 'to find work to earn bread for my family;' There Is so much competition. Everywhere you find competition. These arouse temptations; there are temptations to deviate from the truth and take advantage of the ignorance of men. You cannot live a common business life without struggles. You cannot live a common life without meeting temptations on every hand." The pastor said that every man should try to keep his ideals before iiim and live true to them, although they might not be perfect. "While you hold your notions to be right," he said, "you should stand by them. The hour you turn from them plunges you into degradation. I met u young man in Paris. He was there trying to perfect himself in his calling. He said that it was almost impossible for a man to stand alone In that great city and maintain his honesty and integrity. I think that is so everywhere in the whole world. You must stand for that which you know to be true. It is better fcr you than the good opinions of men. It is better to be right than for the world to. think you right when you are wrong." Greater than the conflict for subsistence, he said, is the conflict for religious faith. "You' cannot safely wander away from your faith." he said. "There are no great anchors for morality, hope and trustfulness outside of faith. There is no life that goes on with smooth pulsations all the time like a summer holiday. 'I say the struggle for faith, for God, truth and righteousness must never cease. There are spiritual conflicts, but there are spiritual helps. What shall you do? The first great thing is to distrust yourself." Dr. Sims said that a great element of strength is to keep away from the , semblance of sin. He thought that parents made great mistakes in saying that they wanted their sons to Income acquainted with sin early In life so that they might know how to avoid it. "There is no way of life so hard as compromise. Seek the right way of life. ' but also recognize that there is a place of glorious victories. Continue in the warfare only in the name of Him who can help you conquer." CITY NEWS NOTES Frank Barns is -detained at the station house on a charge of grand larceny.
