NEW CHURCH DEDICATED

IMON COM'REt'ATIONAI, IX CEIIEAL1.MJ WORKS? TERRITORY. A lloiue-Uke Little Rulld In g The Morning: Sermon tit the Flrt Rupttst ( liorrh. A new church which has just been completed in the vicinity of the cerealine works was dedicated yesterday afternoon. It is known as the Union Congregational Church. The membership is made up largely of persons of different denominations. The new church Is the only one accessible to a large territory and if the interest and zeal displayed yesterday afternoon do not abate the church has been launched on what will prove a prosperous career. A number of ministers from the city assisted Rew.O. D. Fisher in the dedicatory service. Dr. Fisher, during the afternoon, gave an historical account of the movement that resulted In the formation of the church. Many people in that neighborhood felt that something should be done toward religious Instructions and a society was formed by the women. After some thought as to the denomination of the church to be formed, the question was left to a vote and the Congregational was chosen. As a sort of index of the character of the congregation the word "union" was used. After a time Dr. Fisher, pastor of the People's Congregational Church, began the ministry for the new church, holding meeting at convenient points. A lot was donated by Mr. Stout and the building was erected a good deal of material and labor being given. It was stated yesterday afternoon that aside from the donations that had been made and the help from the building fund, there was still a debt of $120. Dr. Fisher made an appeal for money. The entire amount was raised and the church was dedicated. It is a home-like little building that will seat probably Sir It was crowded to the doors yesterday afternoon. Dr. Fisher received two new members into the church and tho rite of baptism was administered to two children. The dedicatory services were directed by Dr. Fisher. Rev. J. W.TTilson, of the Mayflower Congregational Church, made the inductory prayer. A Scripture lesson was read by Rev. F. M. Whit lock, of the Fellowship Congregational Church and Rev. F. E. Jeffery. of the South Side Congregational Church, offered the invocation. The dedicatory sermon was preached by Rev. N, A. Hyde. Dr. K. D. Curtis, superintendent of home missions for the State, offered the dedicatory prayer. AT FIRST BAPTIST CIll'RCH. Rev. II r. C. E. AV. Dolilm Kschuuses Pulpit with Rev. Dr. KlIlNon. Rev. Dr. C. E. W. Dobbs, of tho Southstreet Raptlst Church, preached for Rev. D. J. Ellison at the First Baptist Church yesterday morning, the two gentlemen having exchanged pulpits for the morning hour. -Dr. Dobbs took for his text Col. Hi. 3: "Ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God." He referred to the famous "Crystal spring," in Florida, whose waters are so clear that, though forty ftkt deep, the stones can be distinctly seen on its pebbly bottom. That spring sends forth thousands. of gallons of sparkling water every minute, and is never known to run dry. Out from its hidden depths the unfailing stream flows through winter's cold and summer's heat. The spring is an expressive emblem of the active Christian's life, which is hidden with Christ in God. "First." said he, "we are to note the fact that the believer Is said to be dead more accurately, according to the revised version, ye died. The reference is to a definite experience In the past that blessed experience of grace wherein the trusting believer, coming to the Savior, dies to sin ana rises with Christ to the new life of the regenerated soul. Death Is the cessation of the powers of body and m?' d. They are no longer active over our mortality. So the soul dies to sin that is. sin Is no longer the regnant, reigning principle within the believer. lie is 'freed from sin, and is no longer under its hated dominion. This is what the beloved apostle means when he says 'he that is born of God sinneth not.' He does not live In sin as his abiding life, as his realm of spiritual activity. Nay, he has risen out of the old life of sin into the higher Ufa of the service of God. As well expect the beautiful winged butterfly to be content with the existence of the crawling caterpillar as to expect the child of God to be satisfied with the things of sin after having tasted the rich grace of his Lord. "This is a divine life. The believer has been born of God. having been quickened by the Spirit. Here we face the grand fundamental doctrine of the gospel 'ye must be born again.' There is nothing more real than this new birth. There doe come to every man who accepts Jesus Christ as hl3 teacher and savior a power from above which transforms his moral nature, opens his spiritual faculties, turns his life Into new channels and enriches him with a blessedness which is unspeakable and divine. There. are millions of people on the earth upon whom that power has descended. These, and these only, are in the kingdom of God. As with its origin so with its continuance, the new life is "hid in Christ.' Only He sustains that life. The new heart thrives only as it 'abides in Christ. That was a wonderful experience of the apostle Paul, who said. 'Though our outward man perishes our inward man is renewed day by day.' Michael Angelo's terse words give the apostle's meaning: 'The more the marble wastes the more the statue gTOws. Sanctifying grace works its blessed results through the constantly growing transfiguration into the 'imago of the Lord.' Some Christians seem never to have learned the secret of growth In grace. They seem very-like an old room, whose furniture and hangings have not been renewed for a generation, and In which everything has Itocome damp and dismal and rotting. They delight in pinging, " 'Where is the blessedness I knew When first I saw the Ixrd?" "And it was Spurgeon who said. 'Where Is it? I don't know, and it wouldn't do you any good If you had it.' Blessedness will not keep. The soul must receive Its daily supply of grace and blessedness if it Is to advance in this new life. Keep tho lamp trimmed and renewed, and there will be no need of grieving over a lost light. "Rut this hidden life, must be a manifested life. Of the Lord It was written that He could not be hid.' Neither can this hidden life of the soul. The divine nature transfigured th humanity of Jesus on the holy mount, and Christ In the soul of the tellever will make Ills presence known. Our lives are the outward expression of the spirit within. The gospel proposes to save man from sin, not by the meles and' hounds of prescriptive restraint, but by the Inward power of principle. It is to be attained through what Chalmers called the 'expulsive power of a new affection.' Our spirituality and our Christian living will never rise any higher than the secret love which reigns within us. The moving hands on my watch are the evidence of a mainspring within. The fruit on the tree is the proof of the nature and the quality of the tree on whose branches it hangs. "Is it asked. 'How is the new life manifested? The answer is at hand. In every act of Chirstlan love: In every cup of water given to a thirsty fellow-mortal ; in every deed of blessed charity, which feeds the hungry, clothes the naked, visits the sick, cares for the distressed no less than in chanted songs of prfdso and whispered devotions, we show forth the excellency of the grace which saves and sanctities. .Men do not l:?lieve It, but it Is true, just as true as when the Master said it. that a man's life consisteth not In the abundance of the things which he possesseth.' Th grasping, sordid soul s ks us Its highest good the perishing wealth of thH world. Do you know that the old Saxon, word wealth meant well-being. True wealth is the soul's well-being. That is not found In the thins or ways of s:n or s !f-induigenep. 'lie that loveth his life shall lose, hut ho that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.' That H the true llfo-the only worthy life for an immortal soul which finds its highest good in love to God and love to man. "We shall fullv know this life onlv when v.-e see the Lord in I lis glory. Not till then shall the gracious work of the sanctifying Spirit hav done its '.est for us. Not till then shall ve know what 'perfection means. Hut then we shall he Mike Him. Then shall tie accomplished the purpose of predestinating grace, which conbmnlates final and complete conformity to the image of His Son. In the blazing liuht of the manifest d Christ tVre can he no darkness there can abide no -in. For the present we are in t kingdom of grace; a little later we shall reach the kingdom of glory. One Is the .vced: the other is the flower. One is t! dawn streaking the east, kindling the hilltops, turning the clouds to amber an. I gold, and the other is the sun at his meridian splendor amid the

glory of the perfect day. 'I shall be satistied when I awake in Thy likeness.' "

FOUR OVERHEATED STOVES. I 'our l'Jre Depart in en t Call Gnu Valve Left Open. About '10:30 last night there was a good deal of excitement by a lire alarm from Box 33. followed almost immediately by a call to Box 4, at the postofficc corner. The second call came in so broken that it sounded like a general alarm, and people Imagined that there was a big lire in the neighborhood of Box iC, corner of Meridian and South streets. Before either alarm was turned in. some one discovered a lire burning in the Herein block and telephoned to fire headquarters. While the message was being received, Box t3 came in. The telephone operator waited to count the box In order to see whether it was Box 4. Finding that it was not, he telephoned to the different houses that should make that run. As soon as Box 1)3 was exhausted he turned in Box 1. The fire below the depot amounted to nothing and as soon as it wai out an apparatus which had driven there came to the postoffice corner. For a few minutes there was a good deal of confusion. Hundreds of people rushed about trying to find the fire, but it was out before they discovered where, it had been. An overheated stove in a printing office back of the Hereth block made a fire that was easily put ouL The other fire, also caused by an overheated stove, was in the chain works at 40 West South street. The loss was reported to be trilling. Karller in the evening Mrs. Hirt. 2-j Fletcher avenue, sustained a $Jj loss from fire from the same cause, an overheated stove. Still another tire occurred at the grocery of Cornenlce & Co., 157 High street. In this case the loss amounted to $3 or $1. A great many people who have not had enough gas to warm their stoves, to say nothing about their houses, left the valves turned on full last night and when the pressure of gas suddenly and unexpectedly Increased, the stoves were soon heated red hot. In the downtown districts the Merchant policemen turned down the gas in a number of places where fires otherwise would have occurred. Shortly before midnight the police station became unbearably warm, and an investigation of the furnace in the front part of the building was made. It was found that the brick walls were almost red from the heat. The gas was booming, and the celling overhead was so hot that it might have been used for a frying pan. A large portion of the plastering had fallen off, and it was only the fact that tho laths are metal that preventing the building taking fire. After some difficulty the ga.s was turned off. BATTLE WITH BURGLARS CLASSICAL IRVlNTO. DISTIRIIED II V A FLSII.LADH OF SHOTS. Two Carthage Men Had Followed Four Robber to the City Limits Held Up tv Sleigh. Four bold, bad burglars yesterday gave a wild West atmosphere to the classical town of Irvington. Various accounts estimate that anywhere from ten to one thousand shots were fired In the, effort of two men from Carthage to capture four burglars whom they had followed all tho way to the city. The burglars were overtaken as they were about to board an Irvington car to come to this city. Two men had followed them in a buggy from Greenfield and saw them getting on the car. These men were a Mr. Scovel and a constable from Carthage, where the four men had burglarized tho store of Allen Newsome, stealing a small quautity of general merchandise. Scovel and the constable evidently were laboring under the Impression that the mayor of Carthage would decorate them with peacock feathers if they could succeed in capturing four bold burglars, and they did not ' make their plans knovvii to any one, but proceeded to surround he four men at the street-car. Scovel grabbed one of the men and immediately turned him over to a citizen who was standing Ay, with orders to hold him. He then started for another, but did not get very far, for the man whom he had arrested did not take kindly to the proceeding. lie Jerked loose from the citizen, pulled out a cheap revolver and began shooting in the direction of Scovel and the constable. The other men then pulled out their revolvers and took part in the fight. Scovel had no revolver, but borrowed one from the car conductor and bravely answered the fire until his revolver was empty. In the meantime the men had run north into the woods. Scovel and the constable followed, having secured cartridges to reload. In the woods the burglars hid behind trees and then a fusillade began which continued as long as the ammunition held out. After this the four men made a break toward the city. At the Belt Railroad and Ohio street Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Yeagcr, of No. 40 School" street. Brightwood. were driving peacefully along the street in a sleigh. when they were very much surprised and frightened by having four revolvers poked under their noses. The command of the spokesmati of the party to vacate the sleigh was immediately complied with. It is doubtful if the result would not have been the same if Mr. Yeager had been aware of tho fact that the revolvers were empty, which thev undoubtedly were. It did not take long for the men to fill the space so recently occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Yeager and start the family nag oil at Its best speed. Just at this point In the proceedings Scovel and the constable came In sight. The four men were making good time westward on Ohio street, and that was the last seen of them. During the chase through the woods citizens of Irvington had notified the city polite of the battle with revolvers, and a detachment of officers was hurried to the scene., but it was then too late to do anything. The people of Irvington strongly condemn the actions of the Carthage men. They say it would have been very simple for the two men to have waited for the car to start towards the city and then have telephoned to the police to meet it with the patrol wagon, and then followed along In their buggy, keeping the car in sight. It is claimed that the procedure would have been almost certain to end In the arrest of all four men. but the desire of tlcse two Carthage men to make the arrest was too much, and got the best of their judgment. In their lilght the men dropped the bundles of goods they had been carrying, and the stuff is now in Irvington. What the bundles contain, more than the fact that they do not contain much of value Is not known to the police. The robbery for which the men are wanted was committed Saturday nighLin Carthage, the store of Allen Nevvsome being robbed of an assortment of clothing and merchandise, not of great value. It was learned that four men had taken a train lound north, and Scovel and the constable followed to Knlghtstown. and found that the men had left the train there and come west. The pursuers got off the train at Greenfield, and learned that their men had been there, but were thought to have copk on went on h frtight train. Scovel and the. constable hired a buggy and drove towards tlv city, making Inquiries along the way. 1 ri the meantime the Greenfield operator had jisked the livington operator if he had seen four men on the freight train that passed Irvington about 11 o'clock. The Irvington oj!He was not open at the time, and the operator had seen nothing. IU was not" informed by Greenfield what was wanted, anil Uii'w nothing of the chase after the burglars. 'Jet ween 1' and 3 o'clock two nun who were walkjng along tho track east of irvington saw the four hkmi coming west, carrying small bundles. The robbery had not been reported at Irvington. ah I ik was not known that these men were being' chased. The men walked into Irvington and waited for a street car. evidently intending to come Into tie city on a ear. believing that if the police here were on the lookout for them It would be tho railroad, and not the street cars, that would be watched. At roll call last night th patrolmen were given full descriptions of the men, and were on the lookout for them all night. About 11 o'clock the police were notified that a sleislj was standing at the corner or Walnut and Meridian streets without an owner. It was found to be the sleigh tlie four men had taken from Mr. Yeagt-r. It was sent to Girton s stable, at 17 Indiana avenue, and Mr. Yeager was notified. No one seems to know by whom the sleigh was left where It was found, although there as a report that a colored malt hud kit it there.

HEAVY LOCAL SHIPPERS

KlNCI.W A CO. NOW AVERAGING THIRTY-FIVl CARLOADS A DAY. Parry Mannfaetartnir Company Ships to the Mont Point Cioodi by lZxpres Uoxinnklnjr. Inquiry shows that KIngan & Co. ship the largest tonnage of freight annually of any establishment in the city, there seldom being a day that there Is not twenty to twenty-five carsloads of freight shipped by them. Of late the shipments have averaged thirty-five carload a day. The Parry Manufacturing Company ship the largest business to various points annually of any local establishment, the billing showing that there is hardly a railroad in the United States over which during the year the company does npt njake shipments to one, and, in some cases, numerous points. The Indianapolis hominy mills, the cerealine mills and the starch works are also large shippers, but their business is more spasmodic in its character than the others named. Tho flouring mills, when busy, rank among the large shippers, but there are times of the year when their shipments are light, a-s for instance during the three months past. The largest shipper by. express at this point, and to the most points, is the Kli Lilly Company, manufacturers of pharmaceutical chemicals. Their business is good the year round. There,-was a few months in 1835 and 1S36 when the Indiana bicycle works were the largest shippers by express, but with the falling oil in their business and the less urgent demand, most of their shipments are now made by freight. In the shipments of machinery the Atlas works leads, having in. good times shipped as high as ten carloads In one day. In shipments of poultry,' eggs and butter Indianapolis leaus any point in the country. A shipment of eignt to ten cars is not an unusual t-hing daily-for days at a time. The poultry, eggs and butter are gathered from all points in this State and Illinois, one Indianapolis firm , having thirty-two points where it has agents purchasing on an extensive scale,. Jordan & Co being credited with being the largest handlers of these; products in .the country. There was a time when Des .'Moines, la., led Indianapolis in this respect, but it has nowdropped to the seconu place. With each year Indianapolis is increasing in importance in the, way of shipments of live 'stock, not only t for. Pennsylvania, New York and New Kngland markets, but for export. Then in ISIHi there were shipped by th' buyers of horses at the sale stables 710 carloads of horses, and what Is more fortunate for the business of Indianapolis, many of its leading industries have not suffered in business to the extent that has been the case at many commercial centers. There are several manufacturing establishments which did as much in ls:t5 as in any former year. So far as Indianapolis is concerned the Iron industries and furniture manufacturers have suffered more than any other manufacturing Interests. - .i i o ' llnx MnmifncturliiBr. There is one line of industries that seldom is spoken of, yet it is an important one for Indianapolis. It is that of manufacturing boxes. At hut few business centers is this business' carried on so extensively. There are' three concerns here which manufacture, boxes from wood on an extensive scale, and' several manufactories of paper boxes. The three wooden box manufacturers work tip Into boxes annually from 16.0)0,000 to j8.tyMW0 feet of lumber. Thev make boxes for the merchants on Meridian street, for the packing ' houses, KIngan & Co. being the largest purchaser, then the starch works, the cerealine mills and numerous other industries. Confectioners, bakers and druggists and manufacturers of chemicals purchase thousands of boxes annually. The handling of the lumber, the converting It into boxes and delivery of tho same gives employment to at least IV) men. Some very novel machinery is used in cutting .out the lumber, the nailing, of (faW .boxes and the stenciling of the same. - Jtiut-few are aware of the improvementH that have been made In labor saving in manufacturing boxes. Cheap Ice Next Summer. An excellent crop of Ice Is now being harvested, and so long have the Ice manufacturing companies had their own way as to prices, etc., that they look upon the ease with which ice Is now being housed and its small cost--meaning that the artificial ice plants wilh not le required to make the tonnage of ice they did last summer. Neither will the pool be able to dictate prices to the rxtcnt they did last summer. It is believed. Jtfeat, the big ice crop of this winter is to bring relief to many a housewife who elared not last summer address an ice deliverer, no matter what his shortcomings were, without an apology lest he refuse to deliver any more Ice. The competition of the natural ice deliveries. It is thought, will result in a decided reform in the last mentioned-features of the ict business. Inerenne of Conl, Consumption. A man well informed regarding the matter, stated on Saturday that more coal has been used by tho manufacturers of Indianapolis during the week than in any one year of the seven since so many manufacturers began using natural gas. In fact, a majority of the manufactories used coal for fuel last week, a number using as much as a carload a day. A Iflrge number of teams were engaged In hauling coal, and it reminded one of old times when a large number of people and teams were required to deliver coal most 'of' the year round. A number of manufacturers ay that they will not attempt to get along with natural gas again until the cold weather Is over. Mnklne Art Mnterlaln. The H. Lieber Manufacturing Company, manufacturers of ' aft ' material, picture frames, etc., are doing more business than at any time since the works have been in operation. They now have about 150 peopie employed, and are working the force fourteen hours a day. mid then are troubled to fill orders. This company has traveling salesmen out In this country in nearly all sections, and all send In encouraging reports as to the Improvement in business. This company has established a number of foreign agencies, and. from this source is beginning to derive a good deal of benefit. BARGAIN PUBLICITY. Sujgget Ion on the Construction of Profitable Ilarfthln Advertisement.. Ths conservative business man, from a theoretical standpoint, rightly claims .that there should be no bargain advertisement, and that the bargain, whether advertised or not. Is not a part of legltlmato tradebuilding. It Is obvious that many things accepted and in common practice are not from the higher principles worthy of consideration or use, but the business man of to-day must consider the condition of the times as a necessary guide in the action of his business. ' . . The high hat should not be allowed In the theater, but as theater are run for profit, and an arbitrary rule against elevating headgear might result In the lack of patronage, the theatrical manager, if he would make money, must tolerate the nuisance. To a very limited extent this principle, or lack of principle, applies to bargain adventisemonts. The bargain came to stay, and will stay until the grand old millennium days arrive. and common custom, the aii-powerful dictator of profitable action, places the bargain, illegitimate as it may be. upon a fair, stpuire and honest platform of trade conduct. Bargain advertisements are necessary to the building and holding of every class of progressive business, except for the few I conservative housts which do not seem to ! need cither fire or.smuke. F.very woman txpects bargains, and she not only expects them, but she demands them, and her demand, reasonable or not. must be fairly and squarely met. The bargain advertisement must be honi est. because some people consider all bar gain advertisements dishonest, and for tka.t reason honesty in It must be both au-

parent and real, real anyway, because the value of the apparent Is founded upon reality. A marked-down or bargain sale must contain an explanation of a reason, and that reason must be a true reason. Nobody sells dollar things for 7.1 cents for the fun of it. Such sales exist from necessity, and are always with a definite and honest reason, and that reason must be a part of the advertisement. Nobody believes In unusual cuts in price, because they do not think that the goods are pood for anything, and therefore the cut must be reasonable, and the reason of It must accompany it. Occasionally it is well not to cut the price too much, even if the dealer can afford it, because unless the reader believes the cut is genuine there might just as well be no cut at all. Bargain advertisements must he set In the boldest type and occupy the largest space. They are extraordinary news and need extraordinary methods, and the extraordinary should never be crowded in the space of its presentation. Simplicity is absolutely necessary In bargain advertisements, and every statement must be clean cut, honest and self-explanatory. These are times for bargain advertising. People now expect bargains, and the man who does the business is the man who presents the right kind of bargains, in the right way, and by the use of space so large that nobody can overlook his announcement. NATHANIEL C. FOWLER, JR., (Copyright, l'i7, by the Publicity Publishing Company, New York.) A FLAUNTING OF WEALTH

REV. 13. A. ALLEX PRBACHKS AGAIXST RltADLHV-MARTIX HALL. Severely Criticise- the Im! In nnpol 1m Women AVlio Lent Their Approval to This Magnificent Function. At the Sixth Presbyterian Church the pastor, Rev. Kli A. Allen, preached yesterday morning from I Samuel xxv, 11: "Shall I then take my bread and my water and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers and give it unto men whom I know not whence they be?" This text was the ground work for a sermon cn the difficulties of capital and labor. In part the pastor said: "Here is found the first account in the Bible of the clashing of interest between those of wealth and those of work between the employer and the employed between capital and labor. t "The story of the chapter is eminently modern. Its history Is this: Nabal was the wealthiest man of his time. He possessed vast herds of sheep and goats In the region of Carmel. David, with his warriors, had rendered him noble service in keeping back the robbers from his Hock. He had. by the confession of Nabal's own herdsmen, been "a wall unto them both by night and day: all tho time they were with them keeping their flocks." And thus a kind of right grew up. And now at shVarlng time he sent ten young men to ask alms of Nabal, reminding him he had kept guard over his flocks. But Nabal insolently made reply. Who is David? And who is the. son of Jesse? There be many servants nowadays that break away every man from his master. 'Shall I then take my bread and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give It unto men whom 1 know not whence they be?' hi modern parlance it simply means, 'Be gone you vagabond. I know nothing of you and 1 will not trouble myself about you.' "Here Is the fatal mistake of to-dav. 'It Is not so nominated In the bond.' There is no law to make me do so and so. 1 will merely keep my contract. I know that there are many noblo exceptions to this rule, but yet the law of selfishness still reigns." After the minister had explained the true Christian conception of wealth he coatlnued: THE BRADLEY-MARTIN BALL. "We have many striking examples of this flagrant misuse of wealth at the present time. We are told that Mrs. BradleyMartin purposes to give a $250,000 ball. Thus deaf to the appeals of poverty, she proposes in defiance .to public opinion to flaunt her wealth in the face of suffering. She defends herself by two propositions. First, it will help the poor by putting money In circulation. Second, it is nobody's business how I spend my money. As to the first of these propositions It may be true that a fine entertainment will throw money Into the channels of trade ami thes help business; but It may be true In this case that the money expended will go largely to those who alre-ady have plenty. "But tho real harshness is in the remark that It is nobody's business. Such a remark shows moral imbecility. It is the reply of drunken Nabal. 'Shall I take of my bread and my water and my flesh and give It unto men I know not whence they be?' Such a sentiment is most unworthy and is Inclined to stir the mob to violence. "I see that a number of ladies of our own city, ladies from whom we ought to expect better things, express the same sentiment. It Is a shame that a lady with Mrs. Sewall's standing should tauntingly say It is nobody's business how she spends her money. Such a lady may know how lo teach a classical school, but she certainly has not the first principles of morality when she gives utterance to such hearties:; and cruel remarks. "History Is full of examples where the nobility and wealthy have failed to comprehend the situation until tho mob was at their doors. Many of the European capitals have been made crimson with the blood of their fellows because aristocracy could not realize that a volcano was beneath while they flaunted .their wealth and power In the face of the oppressed. . "I hope mob violence may be averted, but If thousands of the poor of New York were to march to Mrs. Bradley-Martin on the night of the ball and ask alms they would have millions of sympathizers. "We need to feel that all our wealth Is a sacred trust to be used and not abused. Every dollar we handle, whether we be rich or poor, should be used as sacredly as if it were a widow's estate. This thought cannot be too strongly pressed just now, when every avenue in commerce Is paralyzed land widespread suffering is before us. But whatever may be the issue of this calamity, let us. though our influence be small, do the right thing. Ixd us practice plain living and high thinking. lxt us have large charity. And above all kt us 'occupy till He comes. " Broadcloth Best It tit ion. New York Tribune. At no moment within the memory of the present generation 'has the number of unemployed in this city been so. large as just now. and never before has the strain on public and private charity been so severe as during this winter season. It is not merely the laboring classes that is to say. the classes who may be regarded as within facile reach of philanthropic relief who are th sufferers, but those who may be described as professional men. thewierks, the salesmen, the architects and t!Je literary men. Few. save the clergy an the physicians, have any idea of the extent to which privation and actual want prevail among these victims of the bad times that are marking the close of the deplorable Democratic administration and doctor and parson alike wax eloquent about the destitution of the families of those unfortunate men who. while eager for work and ready to do anything for the sake of a living, are for the first time in their lives unable to find employment of any kind. Without In any way wishing to detract from the public sympathy ro generously and justly manifested in behalf of the unfortunate inmates of Hint? Sing and of our State prisons, who, since the first of thyear, have been debarred from work, and who are reported to be hovering on the border line of despair and insanity in consequence of their enforced idleness, it may be questioned whether the first duty of the people of New York i.' not toward those of their more honest and honorable fellowcitizens whose enforced Idb-nes. due to their Inability to find any employment. Is driving them. too. to the verge of insanity an insanity caused not so much by the brooding over their wives anil little ones literally starving before their eyes.- It is not .merely on the ground of philanthropy andt harlty that some means or other should be devised for their relief but on the score of policy and economy. For the less enforced Idleness there Is outside the prison the fewer convicts there will be within its walls. I'vlden tly. Boston Transcript.

THE FALLEN IN THIS CITY

noun i:ampi.ks citiiii at tub IlESCl i: MISSION" YKSTKIUIAY. A It rge Subscription for the Work Ruined at the Second PreMyterltin Church Yesterday. A mass meeting in the interest of the Florence Crittenden Rescue Mission work was held yesterday afternoon at the Second Presbyterian Church. The room was only about half filled, but It was an interesting meeting nevertheless, and the Rescue Mission of Indiana polis reaped a money profit of something over H.GO0; $4,000 is the amount fixed upon to be raised for the local mission this year, and the afternoon's collection brought the sum subscribed during the day to a little over $2,000. Hugh H. Ilanna was to have presided over the meeting yesterday afternoon, but was prevented by sickness from attending. Charles S. Morton, national evangelist of the Rescue Mission work, took his place. Rev. Mr. Mllburn read from the Scriptures the story of Christ and the woman who annointed his feet in the house of the Pharisee, and Rev. Dr. Haines offered prayer. Then Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett, national superintendent of the Florence Crittenden Rescue Mission, was introduced and spoke at some length. Her charming manner and eloquent words held the audience in Intense interest for three-quarters of an hour, and her touching appeal in 'behalf of fallen women brought tears to the eyes of most of those present. Said she: "Most of you have been worshiping fSod this morning In some church: after that you went home to a comfortable elinner and happy communion about the fondly board: to-night you will go to church again, then go home and feel you have spent a comfortable and profitable day. While you have been spending your day thus, I.onj gins in this country of America have been spending their first Sunday in a brothel. Last Sunday they were perhaps at home with their families: to-day as far from it all with almost no chance for escape. Don'ttry to say they have made their bed and must lie in it. unless you, know the terrible chains of heredity and environment that have bound them where they are. You have no right to say they are unworthy of your love and consideration. You do not know how, nor by what narrow margin, you have been saved by the grace of tlod from Just such a Ufe The question is not will they be saved if you do not go to them, but will you be saved if you do not go to them? If every woman 1 have tried to rescue from a life of sin had gone back to that life I should still be doing rescue work. "It is unnecessary for me in this gathering to speak to men who desire to lead women astray. But there are other more dangerous classes. The first of these is the class of people who declare that this is a necessary evil. Anybody who declares that worships a devil and not a God. We have all read of the terrible rites of heathern nations, where human) lives are sacrificed in the worship of heathern gods, but If anyone believes that God has planted a devil in the human heart which demands the sacrifice of hundreds of women on the altar of lust, he worships a God worse than those of the heathern a tJod which requires not only the lives of his victims, but their souls as well. "Another class just as dangerous Is made up of those who believe that because a woman has once stepped from the path of virtue, she is legitimate prey for mankind. Men, are you so dishonest as to think that because some one has blown open the safe, you are at hberty to go in and pick up any lose change you may find? When the tortured captive was compelled by his Indian tormentors to run the deadly gauntlet, which blow was It that killed htm? Was It the first? The first hurt the worst, and the last the least, perhaps, but which man killed him? Was it not that each had done his part? So it is in the caso of our fallen sisters. Each man who has held Illegitimate intercourse with her has done his part to accomplish her ruin. MORALITY DOUBLE STANDARD. "We have heard much talk of the evils of a double standard of money, but I say to you the double standard of morality will sweep America off the face of the earth when, the last day comes. Unless men will step upon the same platform they demand women shall stand upon, women will step down to theirs. We women cannot maintain morality alone, and it is foolish to expect it." Mrs. Barrett then went on to cite many examples of cases where women and girls have been rescued from lives of shame, trained In the rescue homes and sent out Into the world to lead useful and respectable lives. Several instances were told where women saved in this manner have become wonderful workers in religious causes. All this she mentioned as showing that the rescue work pays, and pays well. in speaking of the Indianapolis home she said she had never. In any of the mission homes, seen a sweeter set of girls. Then followed a pasionate appeal for aid in the' Indianapolis work. There are one thousand women of this character In Indianapolis, she said, and the average life of a woman after she enters a brothel Is only five years. "Five years." said she, "to rescue the one thousand fallen women in this city, or they won't be there when you do go after them." She told of a case which had come to her notice in this city of a girl iu a house of ill fame Who for twenty-two months hail kept a daybook, carefully noting every item of income and expenditure In that time, even to 5 cents' worth of apples. In the twenty-two months her gross earnings had been $0,1!I2. Htr board had been JLN. at $ a week, and the rest of her earnSngs were halved with tho keeper of the house. But at the end of the time she was $164.; in debt. Fines of every description had been filed uon her for "running upstairs." "fussing in the parlor" and "upsetting a pitcher of water." until it was impossible for her to lift the burden of debt. When at last she attempted to escape from the place and threw from her window an article of clothing that she might pick it up on the outside she was art .sted on complaint of the keeper and arraigned in Police Court. "Talk about there Ining any chance for a girl like that!" said she. THE NEEDS IN INDIANAPOLIS. Mr. Morton followed with a' short talk, detailing the needs of the Indianapoli home. He, said $1,000 was wanted for the work this year, and that, on an average, $12.r would save one girl from a life of sin. Ho said that under the administration of W. V. Wheeler the Indianapolis mission has saved 1,100 men, four hundred of thorn being converts of the last year. Since the work of saving women ana girls has lKen added seventy-live girls have been taken from their sinful homes and given the opportunity to earn honest livings.

ON DEAD MAN'S CURVE" 0 POINT ON M:V YORK i'AIILi: CAIl LINK THAT HAS IlCt OMt: 1'AMOlS. Grnnd Jury Ht I.nut Tnkrs I p thtf QucKtlon nnd Urinific mii Indictment Agnlnut the Coiupnny. NEW YORK. Jan. X "Dead man'a curve," that sweep of tracks at the intersection of Broadway and Fourteenth street, has been the subject of an investigation by the grand jury, which found an indictment Friday against the Metropolitan Traction Company, declaring the curve a publlo nuisance. The principal count in the Indictment is a sweeping charse which covers the whole cause for complaint. Stripped of some of Its legal verbiage and required repetitions, this count is as follows: "On Jan. ltf and at all times from that date to the finding of this indictment the said corporation did maintain a public nuisance by doing an act which unlawfully interfered with, obstructed and intended to obstruct and to render dangerous to passage the two common public streets known as Broadway and Fourteenth street, at tbt intersection of the two streets, and for tho space of one hundred yards south of tha said intersection along Broadway, and for the space of one hundred yards westerly from the said intersection along Fourteenth street, by then and there wrongfully, unlawfully and injuriously propelling; street cars along the line of the street railroad at the intersection of the two for a distance of one hundred yards in either direction at a high and unlawful rate of speed." The Indictment continues: "Whereby tho said two public streets wtre greatly and unlawfully interfered with and obstructed, and rendered dangerous for passage, so that people of the Stato in and through, the two public streets could not rluo and labor on foot In the said two streets us they ought to have done and had been used and accustom d to do and otherwise might and would have done." The indictment concludes: "So that tho good citizens of the State were then a id there greatly terrilied and put iu grot peril and danger of bodily harm to tlm great alarm, damage. Injury and public and common nuisance of all the good ieople of the State in and near the said two Mreets inhabiting and residing, and of all others the good people of the State there riding, passing and laboring; against the form of the statute in suth case made and provided, and against the jeace of the pcopi of the State of New York and their dignity." The grand Jury directed tho district attorney to engage an expert tu mechanical engineering to make an investigation of th rahroad curve there and to testify beforo them as to the result of his investigation. Foster Crow ell, a consulting engineer and a member of the American bociety of Civil Kngineers and of the lntltute of Civil Ln-glne-ers. was eniraned. lie testified before me grand jury that he believed it was entirely practicable to use a short cable at the Fourteenth-street curve similar to that now In u?e at the curve at Broadway and Twenty-third street, lie was asked if tha use of a short cable at Union Square would congest traftic at that iednt. He replied that it would not. as tho short cable might le made to move as rapidly as the long cable now moves around tho curve, and that the difference would be that tho grlpman of a. car could slow down or stop a car on the curve if it should bo drawn bv a short cable, whereas the tension of the long cable is bo great on th curve that the motorman cannot control his car. but must let It rusJi around the curve at full speed and over any person or vehiei in its way. Police Captain Oroo and Policeman Fifer, who is stationed at the Fourteenth-street curve, testified that there bad been ten serious accidents there in tho last eight month., and that there were many narrow escapes each day. Several persons whd had been injured or had seen accidents also testllied. President Vreeland. of the Metropolitan Traction Company was a witness. Ho sail the company stood leady to put down it short cable at the curves as soon as ordered by the city to do so. and that th company would not take the responsibility upon itstelf, because the use of a short cable would congest traftic and cause much, indignation on the part of the public. He also said that the company had plans Cor tunneling under Union square, at an expense of '.O.Ooa, and would construct th tunnel if the park commission would give consent. , The conviction of tho corporation on th indictment can resud In nothing more serious for the present than the imposing of a tine of $.V But should the company b convicted and the nuisance still be maintained Individual officers and managsrs may then bo Indicted. They in addition) to t'Cing lined J-'ajO each, might te imprisoned for a year. Th good exacted to eome from the indictment lies in the fact that at the trial on the charge evidence will show whether or not ears can be carried around th curve at a rate of speed that will not endanger human life.
