Nov. 2. The ninth annual convention of the Indiana Christian. Endeavor A.-sciatIon commenced in Muscle to-day, and the city is filling up with delegates and visitors from all parts of the State, and many from adjoining States. It was unfortunate that the opening day of the convention was -Thanksgiving, as" this has prevented the arrival of a large number of delegates who could not get rates on the railroads, the companies refusing to allow the Endeavor excursions to conliict wfth the regular Thanksgiving rates. As a result it has been necessary to make several changes in the programme. The meeting of the executive committee, which was to have occurred to-night, was postponed until to-morrow morning. The meeting of the 1C6 committee and the district officers at the First Haptist Church to-night was almost a failure on account of the nonarrlval of those who were prevented from coming on account of the railroads. A majority of those absent will arrive to-morrow morning, but some will not be here until evening. Tho report of the secretary, which was to have Wen heard to-morrow morning.- will also be postponed. Owing to the illness of his wife Prof. Excel did not arrive until too late to-night to take part in the services, and Prof. Hackleman filled his place, leading the song service at the First Christian Church. At the meeting at the Christian Church to-night over 1.000 were present. Judge L. J. Kirkpatrlck, of Kokomo, who Is president of the Indiana association, presided. The principal add res wVs made by Rev. J. E. Pounds, of Indianapolis, on "Depending of Spiritual Life." "A Quiet Hour," which was to have been conducted by Dr. J. W. Knapp, of Richmond, vice president of the Indiana association, was conducted by Miss Jennie Masson. of Indianaiolls, State secretary. Immediately after Rev. Pounds linished his address he went to the Methodist Church, where he delivered the same address in the place of Dr. J. C. Caldwell, of Shelbyvllle, who was to have spoken on "Power from Holy Spirit." This church was also tilled, there being about 1.200 present. Rev. W. W. Liaeberry presided, and tho song service wax under the direction of Rev. 11. S. Rlggs, of Muncle. Vincenne?, Richmond. Logans port. South Dend and New Albany are applicants for the next convention, and all their representatives are making a canvass for votes. The location will be decided Saturday. The. convention of the Junior Endeavors will not commence until Saturday, and it will be largely attended. Mrs. M. I. Hageman. Muncie, State superintendent of the Junior organization, will , report that the juniors In Indiana led as to the number that have Joined church within the last year. There will be fifty-four evangelistic meetings held in factories, workshops and various places, commencing to-morrow morning. This is a new feature of the convention. INDIANA OMTUAIIY. Mra.'

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Nov. 2C.-Mrs. Sarah Tlllotson, widow of Lester Tlllotson, burled this afternoon from the Old Ladles' Home, was perhaps the last survivor of those early settlers wno took refuge in Fort Harrison, on the bank of tho Wabash, near this city, in September, 1S12. Captain Zachary Taylor was then in command and, like his superior officer, den. Harrison, afterward became President of the United States. The fort was torn down many years ago, but a farmhouso near tho sit Is largely constructed of the logs of the fort and the gavel used by Mayor Ross, of this city, was made from wood cut from these logs. Mrs. Tlllotson was ninety-four years old. . Prof. John W. Dame. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHELBYVILLE, Ind.; Nov. 2G.-John W. Dame died at his home, near Mount Au burn, last-night, aged eighty-one. He was the first graduate of the Baptist College at Franklin.

There was gen eral rejoicing here to-day when it was authoritatively announced that the Ameri can window glass factory would begin operations at 1 o'clock to-morrow morning. The announcement gave a fresh impetus to the revival of business in all lines. There are many families in Gas City to-day who feel that they have cause for thanksgiving Although there Is a general feeling of relief that the matter Is at last settled there are those among the glass workers who feel disappointed over the settlement of the wage question on a basis of last year's scale. They believe with the president of their association, Simon Burns, that had they held out until Dec. 14, the time agreed on for a general resumption of the factories, the manufacturers would have been iuiu"u lis ucucuc iu men ueuiuuus iui ii u and 10 per cent. Increase over last year's f-cale. President Burns was In the city for a short time this morning", and in speuking of the settlement, said it was a great disappointment to him. and his voice trembled as he talked. He could not conceal the disappointment he felt in the action of the vage committee accepting the proposition of the manufacturers over his protest. He had promised them success In having their demands for an increase over last year's scale granted by holding out a short time longer. In giving them this assurance Mr. Burns said he was speaking by the card. He had been among the men and knew better than anyone else the sense of the mem bers of the association. While they were anxious to go to work, they felt that they were Justly entitled to an Increase over last year. Mr. Bums left at noon for Pendleton. . However strong this feeling may have been before now that It is settled and blowing at the Gas City works begins tomorrow morning, the three hundred em ployes of the American v i: Jow Glass Com pany feel such a sense of relief that they have about made up their minds to be satisfied.

To the K'Utor of tho IndianapolUt Journal: The article in this morning's Journal from a special correspondent of this place, while containing some truth, implies much that Is untrue. The schools, churches, etc have been clctd and public meetings of any kind prohibited, but that is not sufficient warrant for the statements that follow. There is no danger of travel to and from this city being Interfered with and not even a thought of such a thing. The city is not likely to be quarantined, r Another false statement is that '.'the disease has increased rather than gone down." The fact is, there are fewer cases now than at any time since Aug. 1. Your correspondent also revives that old chestnut about "lovers kisses' spreading the disease a statement that has been published in Journals, medical and otherwise, all over the country, and a statement, like many others, that had no foundation in fact. The truth about an epidemic of any kind is always, bad. but there is no excuse for exaggeration or half truths. '.."so..v t-o.1 T. !M. Columbus, Ind., Nov. 26. THE COXSTITITIOX. I pon Three Articles Are AH Its Provisions. Hnnr. Benjamin Harrison, la Ladles Home Journal. , The makers of our Constitution. Instructed by the experience of the colonies, by the State Constitutions already adopted, and by earlier lessons from British history, found an easy agreement upon the general principle that the judicial power of the United States should be vested In a. separate and Independent department. I The division of powers will be made plainer by bringing together the opening sentences of the first three articles of the Constitution: . , "Article 1. All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested ina Congress of the United States. "Art. 2. The executive power shall be vested In a President of the United States of America. "Art. 3. The judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court and in such inferior' courts a3 the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish." Upon this threefold frame the other provisions of the Constitution are hung. The limitations upon the powers cf the. United States courts will be more clearly' understood If what has been before said in another connection is recalled here namely, that the powers of government In this country aro divided between the Nation and the States upon the principle that certain powers are set off to the United States, and all other powers, save a few that are prohibited, are retained by the States. The Constitution enumerates the Iowers which the people have given to the Nation. The judicial power of the United States is, therefore, such power of a judicial nature as the Constitution gives to the United States no more. The residue of the Judicial power the people have reserved in the grant to the United States, and have given the whole, or such part of this reserved power as pleased them, to the State courts. The Indianapolis Movement. Chicago Post. It is wise on the part of the Indianapolis leaders to have refrained from urging the present administration to proceed to appoint a commission. It is safe to predict that one of the first duties of the next administration will be the formation of such a body. There will. In all probability, be an extra session of Congress for the revision of the tariff and revenue laws, and ns it will be imiosslble for Congress to deal simultaneously with two great subjects. President McKinley will doubtless Intrust the duty of formulating a scheme of currency reconstruction to a nonpartisan commission. After disposing of the tariff question. Congress will be In a position to receive the report of the commission and accept it as a basis for fruitful and positive action. If, meantime, the Indianapolis conference appoints on Independent commission of Its own. the results of Its investigations can be utilized in some way by the official body representing the administration. We cannot have too much on this complex and dllllcult subject of finance and banking, and it is proper and tit that the business co.Timunlty should study the subject for itself and acquaint the national government with Its wishes. The bankers have evolved their "Baltimore plan." and the representatives of the trade and commercial bodies are entitled to be heard. Without abdicating Its own functions. Congress can and gladly will bestow careful consideration upon the plans submitted to It by Intelligent, successful and practical men of affairs. Let the bodies addressed promptly and cheerfully respond to the call Issued by the Indianapolis Board of Trade and let the conference be held. Nothing but good can result from the course mapped out. Body-Snntchlng nt Hnrvard. Dr. Thomas Dwlght, In Forum. In the memoirs of my grandfather, Dr. John C. Warren, the second professor of anatomy at Harvard, and who succeeded his father iu that-chair, is nn Interesting passage describing how. when a student, he. with others, "raised" a body. He savs: "When my father came up in the morning to lecture and rounu I naa been engaged in this scrape he was very much aiarmed. but when the body was uncovered and he saw what a fine, healthy subject it was he seemed to be as much pleased as I ever saw him. It Sticks. Chicago Post. Word comes from San Francisco that the talented Nat Ooodwin has endeavored to let go of his divorc suit and rinds that the blamed thing sticks. This Is as it should bo. No one should be allowed to pray tag with the divorce courts, although It must bo conceded that It is of ten done.

Again on the Witness Stand. LONDON, Nov. 26. At the Old Bailey to. day, Justice Hawkins presiding, the trial of Lady Selina Scott, mother of Countess Russell; John Cockerton, an engineer; Frederick Kast, a groom, and William Aylotte, a valet, charged with criminal libel by Earl Russell, was resumed. Lady Scott, who was in court at an early hour, was smartly dressed and wore a long sable mantle. When she entered the prisoners dock her maid ostentatiously handed her a bottle of smelling salts. The courtroom was densely crowded, more interest, apparently, being taken In the case to-day than on any of the previous days of taking testimony. The cross-examination of Earl Russell was continued, tho main feature of the earlier part of the day's proceedings being questions put to the witness regarding his relations with a Chinese servant. During these interrogations the earl admitted that he had spent 1,000 ($T,000) in employing detectives to watch his wife. The cross-examination of Earl Russell also brought up the famous letter from "Lady X," which figured In the previous suit. This missive was read in court. It' developed that the author was Lady Cardifan and showed that It was she who told the story of Earl Russell and the Chinese who, she said, "was cleverly reshipped to China by the Hon. Lyulph Stanley." The earl anmltted that he at one time employed a Chinese boy, whom he brought witn him from -San Francisco, but the witness denied all the allegations of impropriety. When questioned in regard to Professor Santayana. of Harvard, Earl Russell said he had never heard of his having another name. Earl . Russell's eviuence was In the main an emphatic denial of the statements made by the male defendants. Tho case was then adjourned. , FREXCII SCHOOL SYSTEM. Proposition to Secularise It Rejected liy the Deputies. PARIS, Nov. 2I. The bureaux of the Chamber of Deputies tO-day elected a committee to examine the bill providing for a renewal of the privileges of the Bank of France. The committee Is understood to be favorable to the measure. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day there was a large attendance on the resumption of the debate on the school system, the government having narrowly escaped defeat yesterday in resisting the demands of the Radicals for the Immediate installation of female lay teachers In the 6.500 elemen tary schools which are still In the hands of the Sisters of Charity, Sisters of Poor, etc., instead of waiting until the sisters resign or die. This motion was on the point of being carried yesterday when M. Krantz. the reporter of the budget committee, saved the government from defeat by insisting that the resolution must first be submitted to his committee, as It involved a large Increase In expenditures. On the resumption of the school debate to-day M. Jourdan demanded that the government taii steps to secularize all girls schools within two vears. but M. Krantz opposed the motion, and the premier. M. Meline. declared that the position was Impracticable and merely a maneuver against the government, which would ask the Chamber to reject it M. Goblet asked the government to fix a date for tho secularization of the schools, whereupon M. Meline retorted that when M. Goblet was a Minister he estimated that the comnlete secularization of the schools would take twenty years. The discussion was closed with a motion fixing upon the term of two years for secularization of the schools. This was opposed v, m. aieiine. and was eventually rejected by m ote of 326 to 237. .

In 1873 the United States government engaged Dr. Detmers and set him at the task of discovering, if possible, the nature Of this hog cholera. The doctor had a microscopemade In Germany for his especial use which has a magnifying capacity of 2.50u diameters, with this remarkable instrument, which cost the government a verylarge sum of money, and which is said to be as fine a microscope as there is in tho world. Dr. Detmers set about the task of discovering the underlying principle or function of the disease which had resulted in the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars annually to the farmers of the United States. His theory from the first has been that this cholera, or what he terms th swine plague, was caused by a germ. After exhaustive experiments he succeeded In finding the gftni and thus proving his theory correct. This germ Is so lntinltcslmally small that a thousand of them can cluster upon tho point of a needle. It Is an apparently transparent fprm of life, nearly round in shape, and possesses the power to multiply in a marvelous degree. This process is accomplished simply by each germ dividing or cutting Itself in two parts. In an incredibly brief time each half has again become whole and then divides again. It is Dr. Dotmer's opinion that these germs are carried in the air. on vegetation and by means of flies and other insects. Entering a hog's system the germ works Its way Into the blood and commences its deadly work. No particular inconvenience is felt by the animal until the process of subdivision on the part of the germs has reached that point where they crowa into tne ntue capillaries and by means of the multitudes of them roll up into Dans una clog up the bloou canals, pushing out into the small veins and ulti mately destroying circulation to such an extent that the animal dies. Not onlv this but the presence of the germs in the veins poisons the blood and takes from it Its life-giving properties. Having reached this point In the progress of the investigation Dr. Detmers became convinced that it would .!e possible to treat hogs for cholera in exactly the same manner that the human being Is treated for smallpox by vaccination. He nt once gave up the theory that It would be possible to effect a cure upon animals that had been attacked by the germ, but he be lieved that a herd of well hogs could be treated so ns to make them germ proof. and. he set about discovering a vaccine or serum that would be effective. In this direction he appears to have been singularly successful. After months of study and experiment he succeeded in cul tlvating the germ and at the present time he has a nourishing germ farm at his homp near Columbus, O. The details of the man- I ufacture, the secret of the ingredients that Compose the "culture" in which millions of germs find an agreeable place of abode and ample provision for sustenance and other features of the discovery are known only to the doctor. ' His ton informed your correspondent however, that large numIkts of rabbits were required and that in these the process of inoculation bgan. The germ culture is shipped in vials hold ing about four ounces. It Is irtj-oduced J inio me viais oy means or a secret proCess. It being necessary that the air should be entirely excluded from the vial, and then tho top, which comes to a point, like a Crooke's tube, is hermetically sealed by fusing the point. These vials may 1 shipped by express, but great care must be taken to prevent the tube from getting cold, as cold is death to the germ. The germ experiences no difficulty in excessively hot climates, but rather thrives more rarddly. The process of Inoculating the swine Is interesting. The animal Is secured by means of a short rope over Its nose, and the natural obstinacy of the brute is used against It, the animal pulling In the opposite direction. The operator, bv meais of a hypodermic syringe, injects about half a teaspoonful of the serum Into the fleshy place back of the ear. Unless the dose H placed where it will at once enter the blood it has no effect, and this Is about the only spot where It can be 'accomplished. Except in rare Instances no unpleasant effects follow, although once In a while the hog shows signs of sickness for a day or so. It is claimed that swine properly inoculated before germs have obtained any foothold will never have the disease. Many of the most prominent swine breeders of Indiana. Illinois and Iowa have experimented with this new preventive and testify that the animals so treated have withstood the epidemic, while other animals In the same, pen have died. A large number of the big hog raisers in this part of the State have had their herds inoculated. Eiplnrer Xnrmen'n Cirent Strength. McClure's Magazine.

How tli i:vnnKellnt TnlkM to the Axeitihled People. New York Evening Sun. "Oh, Happy Day," announced Mr. Sankey, at o'clock, live minutes before schedule time by the platform clock. "It a good old-fashioned hymn; all ting, sitting down." To put it mlldlj-, the first rendering of "Oh, Happy Day" was not a, success. It dragged. It was feeble in sibts, It shot along with unnatural velocity, to bring up with a sudden and unsatisfactory Jerk. Mr. Sankey, even when he repeated the words carefully belore each "verse." and swayed the cadence with his disengaged right hand, found that the audience either could not or would not put the proier amount of spirit into "Oh, Happy Day." As a change, he announced "The Eord' Shepherd." to the tune of "Belmont." Ho explained the merits of the tune 'Uelmont." which he said was 'Dr. Spurgeon' favorite in his London church. The audience knew better the tune of "Iklmont," for they sang the chorus loudly. Then Mr. Blrkholz took . charge of tho singing. ;t 4 "Coran Unto Mo," Mr. Moody announced. "Come Unto Me" was finally sallfactory. During the first three "verses," a woman in the front row. with a high, shrill voice, insisted on following about two bars in tho wake of the rest of the congregation. "Now," said Mr. Hirkholz. ."cut It off short after the Invitation each time." r This method was more of a success, although la the first stanza rendered the woman in tho front seat bravely followed at her usual distance behind the organ, tmd rendered the last two bars In the breathless sllenca that the remainder of the audience kept. Somewhat surprised to find herself sinfrlng Hlone during the "rest," fhe stopped singing thpneeforward. Dr. Sankey then sang "The llom Iortl.t' Playing his own accompaniment. Dr. Fankey's hymns are always rendered with, much feeling, and usually have a great -ffect on the audience. His voice is sufficiently strong to reach the ears of. .the people in tho furtherest seats. Its .special quality is ierhaps the intentional' piety of the singer, which swings through it in a vibrant fashion. ... In the course of the silent prayer, one of the clergymen on the platform prayed for college students, faculty and presidents He followed this with-the prayer that Ul might descend into Wall street and purify the hearts of those encaged In traffic there. Following him. Mr. Blrkholz led the congregation in singing the "Day Star Hath, Hisen." This hymn has been r-ung at nearly every meeting so far. and the audienoo has bocom-j reasonatly familiar with It, particularly with the chorus, which runs: It shlneth for me e e ! It shlneth for me ! The day star hath risen, And shlneth for me! This chorus was repeated three or four times until a full volume of tone was produced. "I've had a good deal of criticism about what I said last week about mission churches." said Mr. Moody. "Hub I mean every wonl of It. There oughtn't, to l one church for the rich and another for the Joor. They need the gospel's much on 'if th avenue as th-y do down on Water Mreet. You oin't 'stabllsh mission churches without makln' discrimination between tho rich and joor. ."An I want to say that th papers are spreadin this gori. You haven't any Idear of the power of the New York pres. I'm glad to know that they are willing to help us so much." Dr. Dixon then prayed for the 'papers. He Invoked a blessing upon the reporters, and upon the editorial staff hoping that they might see the light and spread it. Mr. Moody then exhorted the congregation to buy the papers and nd them abroad, so that the hearts of people - in hamlets and towns throughout the count rr might lie touched by the word as reported, thiough the press. The instruction of the morning began with a review of lat week's work. Mr. Moody dwelt especially on "after" meetings, which he said wer' especially useful to "harrow in the seed." "I know the seed's got to be harrowed lnto the ground." he continued. "I know Fomethin about farming. I wouldn't give that." here he snapped; his linger, "for a sermon that didn't rb-o inquiries. What good Is It?

"Glory le to Clod." said the old man, look Ing around triumphantly. "Remember John." continued Mr. Moody, "he was an inquirer. He asked If h waa to look for another prophet !esides Chrbt, and he never turned away an honest Inquirer. His most eloquent sermons were soken to an audience of one or two.

You want an experience of your own." "That's so! Amen!" assented the old man In the front seat. "You get the seed In the heart, and its goln' to spring up and tear fruit. You must give 'em the word of tiod in season and out of season. Study that's what you have to do study to show yourself rightly a workman." "Amen!" said the c!d man. "Hlcht-may corne like a Hash.
