During the successful run in New York of “The Mysterious Mr. Bugle,” which comes to the Grand to-night, the merits of the play were so widely advertised that President and Mrs. McKinley and the White House family, W'hile attending the Grant monument ceremonies, mad© an exception of their general rule and paid a visit to the Lyceum Theater to witness a performance of Madeleine Lucette Ryley’s new work. It is described as a farce with much innocent fun and is being played by a company of exceptional merit. Joseph Holland heads the company in his original role. Among the talented people supporting Mr. Holland is Miss Gretchen Lyons, daughter cf that well-known character actor, Edmund Lyons, whose work is well remembered here in Milton Royle’s “Friends,” in which Lyons played the part of the opium fiend. Miss Lyons comes from an old English family of actors. She was born in London Aug. 8, 1877, and made her first appearance as a "property baby” when, four months old. She played her first speaking part when four years old in “Pluck,” at the Drury Lane Theater with Sir Augustus Harris. Arthur Dacre played her father, which was afterwards played by Herbert Kelcey. She then went on a tour and played with Kate Bateman in “Leah” and “Mary Warner.” Her next appearanpe in London was in “Human Nature” at Drury Lane, with Henry Neville, which was afterwards produced in this country under the name of “The Soudan.” She then left the stage until sixteen years of age and reappeared in the title role of “Jack-in-the-Box.” She came to America in June, 1894, and played Jennie Mcrreweather in “Friends” for one season. Two years ago she played in Canada with her father, appearing in a number of roles, among them being Cecil Farrington in “The Magistrate” and Polly Eccles in “Caste.” She then went with “Friends” for a second tour, played Lucretia Bugg in “Mexico,” afterwards "Captain impudence,” and was a member of Mr. Mansfield’s company during the past season. Her work In this organization was of the most exacting nature, and of such merit as to win universal praise. Bettv Foi;dacre, the leading female rolo in the New York Lyceum success, "The Mysterious Mr. Bugle,” ia play*si by Miss Lyons, whose youth and exceptional beauty were largely considered in selecting her tor the part. The popular Murray and Mack combination In “Finnigan’s Courtship,” that made a hit at the Park last season, opens this afternoon at that theater for a weeks’ engagement. The Empire Ihia week will confine itself to straight vaudeville, Brun’s and Nina’s Company being the bill. The feature is a cuke walk with local talent admitted.

Note* of tlie Sta^e. Bronson Howard has completed anew play, which will probably be produced this season. Nat C. Goodwin will first play Shyloek during his coming engagement at the Knickerbocker Theater. Jean H. Williams, who is now controlling the tour of “Madeline, or the Magic Kiss,’’ was in the city Sunday. Hilda Thomas takes the role formerly sung by Camille d'Arville. •*- At tho three-hundredth and final performance of “The Girl from Paris’’ at the Herald-square Theater, New York, last Saturday night the souvenirs were up-to-date bicycle lamps. Julia Marlowe opens her season to-night in Milwaukee, playing “Prince Charlie.’’ Kobert Taber is said to have accepted an engagement with Henry drying in his forthcoming London production. David Henderson yesterday confirmed the rumor that he has assumed t.ie management of the Great Northern Theater of Chicago. Mr. Henderson says he has secured the playhouse for three years and will make it first class in every respect. Frank Lawton, the well-known siffleuse, who formely took the part of the private in Hoyt’s “A Milk White Flag,” a.id who deserted Hoyt’s “Chinatown” company in Australia last year, has returned to San Francisco, where he is now engaged at the Orpheum. Klsle de Wolfe, who recently returned from Europe, will be seen again In John Drew’s company. Miss De Wolfe will appear in "A Marriage of Convenience’’ in the role played by Adrienne Dairolie.s in the London production of the piece at tho Haymarket. Adele Ritchie writes jubilantly to Kirke Le Shelle about her appearance as Cleopatra in the English production of “The Wizard of the Nile.’’ “The opera is a great go,” she declares, “but the comedy role has suffered, quite naturally. There is only one Frank Danieis.” “Un Mariage Sous Louis XV,” by the elder Dumas, which is the French original of “A Marriage of Convenience,” in which John Drew and Isabel Irving will appear at the Empire Thtater in November, has many times been assailed by English adapters. Bouclcault's version, “Love in a Maze,” was long popular, it was produced in the Princess Theater. London, in March, JB5l. :.nd was soon afterward acted at Wallack's, where it was as conspicuous as in London. Frank Daniels produced his new opera, “The Idol's Eye," with conspicuous success last week at Troy, N. Y. Mr. Daniels plays the role of an adventurous aeronaut, who drops among the British soldiers and Nauteh girls. lie also gets himself into a lot of trouble by saving from suicide a Scotchman, for whose behavior, according to the laws of the country, he is then made responsible. Kirke La Shelle has secured a apl ndkl company to support Mr. Daniels, and it Includes Allred C. Whetdun. Helene Kedmund, Belle Bucklln and Claudia Carietadt. Walker Whiteside was at the Bates House yesterday, his entire company spending SunMay in this city. The actor is making a

brief tour of the State with his new play, “A Man in Black,” before opening his Indianapolis engagement next Monday. Mr. Whiteside is as great a wonder to the few who meet him oft the stage as he is to his host of admiring friends who have only an across-the-footlights acquaintanceship. He is youthful to the verge of adolescence in appearance, suggesting nothing of the diplomatic Cardinal Richelieu, whose aged character he impersonates so artistically on the stage. The flesh-shivering mysticism of his Hamlet is as far removed from his everyday personality as the east is from the west. When he appears in the hotel lobby or dining room and is pointed out as the famous Walker Whiteside people stare in questiofting surprise. His complexion is fair as a girl’s and there is a sixteen-year-old blush on his beardless face. A prankish, boyish smile plays abotst his mouth when he meets a frienu, and from a glance at his innocent gray-blue eyes one w'ould never guess that he is capable of simulating deep emotion. The role of Raoul de Renaux in his new play will show him in an entirely different part from any he has ever attempted. It is mingled heroics and romance, and the success which ht has met since the season opened promises a rare treat. Mr. Whiteside’s tour this season is under the personal direction of Mason Mitchell, with that wellknown actor playwright, George Hoey, as press representative and E. J. Snyder, who has been with Mr. Whiteside several seasons, as advance representative. BURNING LOVE LETTERS MISS DINGLEY’S EPISTLES TO THE MAN SHE DID NOT MARRY. Sensational Breach of Promise Suit That Is Arousing Great Interest Throughout New England.

AUBURN, Me., Oct. 3.—Never before has the trial of a civil suit aroused the interest that the trial of the suit for breach of promise of Arthur S. Melcher against Mrs. Louise Hadley has. Mrs. Hadley is a niece of Congressman Dingley. Furthermore. her beauty and her fortune rendered her, prior to her marriage to W. E. Hadley, of San Diego, Cal., a great matrimonial catch. She had suitors by the score, and when it was pretty well settled in every one’s mind that Mr. Melcher was the favored one she married Mr. Hadley at Poland Springs. Mr. Melcher is fifty and a widower. Mrs. Hadley is about thirty and a dashing blonde, and is reputed to be the possesor of a mind of her own. Mr. Melcher makes oath that Miss Dingley not only promised to marry him, but that the engagement was made at her suggestion—in other words, that she proposed. Furthermore, Mr. Melcher swears that when this proposition came up he informed Miss Dingley that he would have to take six months to consider it, but if at the end of that period Miss Dingley was still of the same mind he would not say no. All this he has steadily maintained on the witness stand under severe cross-examination, letters have been produced in court, and every one of them breathes the warmest affection. Mrs. Hadley sat through it all, even through the reading of her letters, with a countenance which gave no sign of emotion. But she showed no nervousness, and even smiled at the attorney in his opening statements developing the outlines of his client's case. In May, I*9o, he began, Mr. Melcher lost his wife. At once the defendant began to write him letters expressing devotion for Mr. Melcher. Later the defendant was at the house of Mr. Melcher constantly. In August she asked him if he was under any obligations to any woman, and said that she loved him as no one else could. Soon after that Mrs. Hadley invited Mr. Melcher to dinner one Sunday. At the dinner sne asked him if he would consent to marriage. He replied that he could not promise her at that time, but they would wait,until January, and then if she felt the same towards him he would marry her. lie declined to promise at the time because of the recent death of his wife. In January he consented, with the understanding that the marriage should not take place until more than a year after the death of his wife. The first Mr. Melcher knew of any change was when he read the announcement of Miss Dingley’s marriage to Mr. Hadley. This was lollowed by other newspaper articles under such agreeable headlines as “Melcher Jilted.” According to Mr. Melcher’s testimony the first letter was one of condolence from Miss Dingley. Three days later a supplemental letter of condolence arrived. A letter, w’hich in the trial will be known as the “aching void” letter, closes as follows: “Thank you again for your note and assure you you do not know how much I appreciate it. I will do all I can to fill an aching void. lam rather blue to-day. You don’t know the feeling, do you? It comes to me once in a while w hen I get to thinking too much and longing for someone to love. YOU KNOW.” After the probationary engagement the letters became more feivid, and at last reached the breach-of-promise-suit temperature. Early in June, Mr. Meicher’s wife then having been dead about three weeks, Miss Dingley was writing as follows: “My Dear Arthur—Your sweet and loving letter of Wednesday was handed to me Thursday. I am glad to know that my letters havo been of comfort to you. 1 should say I never expect to fill Mary’s place. No one could. All I will say is that I could not love you any more than she did. But I believe*‘i could love you as much. There, dry your eyes. 1 love you dearly. You must have long since discovered it.” Mrs. Hadley took the stand and acknowledged the engagement, but said they frequently had differences. She notified him that the engagement was off and offered to give back the ring, but he refused to take it. On the Friday night before her marriage to Mr. Hadley, Mr. Melcher called and expressed a hope that she would enjqy life in California and that her husband would bo generous in money matters. Previous to the appearance of Mr. Hadley the week before the marriage site said that she had not received a letter from him for four years. “Did you say in one of your letters that you had suffered much in seven years? Does it refer to the seven years between your first engagement with Mr. Hadley and your marriage to him, and was your suffering caused by lack of affection?” she was asked. "Oh. I loved several during that seven year,” was the answer. CULTURE OF THE UNBORN. YVomen Who Are linpresseil with the Importance of Heredity. NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—Twenty-five women who were properly affected by the solemnity of tlie occasion presented for their consideration met at the New Amsterdam Hotel yesterday. Mrs. E. C. Claflin said in explanation: “This is to beg President McKinley to establish a bureau of heredity. We all know the evils resulting from the transmission of disease or criminal tendency. Pre-natal influence cannot be too strongly dwelt upon. Therefore, we pray that part of the fund left by George Washington for educational purposes, one million originally, and now grown to five, shall be used for this bureau. It will serve to lilt the standard of humanity, to regulate the marriage of dissolute and vicious parents and increase the moral happiness and usefulness.” Mrs. Claflin is a member of the Ralston Club for the Culture of Unborn and chairman of the Circle of Ht-redi-tv. She spoke with authority. She said: “Mrs. John Vance Cheney lias taken this petition to Chicago, and Mrs. Ole Bull will present it to Boston. We desire the signatures of women of advanced thought all over the country,” and all those present signed. Attendance at Nashville Show. NASHVILLE Tenn.

Players Ready to Divide Receipts of the Free Press Cup Series. COLUMBUS, 0., Oct. 3.—lndianapolis will take the Free Press Cup, the Hoosiers and Senators having decided this evening not to play any more games. Indianapolis has won three games and Columbus two. Each player will receive $75 above expenses as his share of the gate receipts of the five games. It Is said the Hoosiers refused to play any more games except on their own grounds. The players of both teams were anxious to return to their respective homes, and the Columbus team agreed to give Indianapolis the cup, the Hoosiers having won a majority of the games played. The players from Indianapolis never had a chance to win to-day’s game. Foreman wa3 touched up rather lively and three of the five errors which are charged to his assistants w'ere of a costly nature, but as both of the misplays of the Senators cost runs, it was an even break and tlie home team won the game on it merits. The game was filled with fielding features and “Dibby” Flynn divided honors with Hulem and Stewart on the infieiding, the shortstops accepting numerous chances cleanly and throwing accurately. Some of Stewart’s stops were of the sensational order and Genins at third base distinguished himself by making a running catch of a foul fly that set the crowd wild with delight. Sandow Mertes, in center field, had a very busy day and made several catches that cut off the chances w hich the Hoosiers had of scoring. Charley Frank led with the stick with two singles and a triple, while Kahoe, with a single and a home run drive, was a good second. After playing four innings McCarthy retired in favor of Bobby Wood, who captured three flies in left field.

Columbus went first to bat. Hulen flew out to McFarland. Mertes singled to center field and kept right on. tc second when McFarland booted the ball. Genins hit to Flynn and while the latter was throwing the batter out at first Mertes went to third, scoring easily on Frank's single to left field. In the second inning Crooks was passed to first, Wolters sacrificed and Fisher flew out to Gray. Evans singled, but fast fielding on the part of McFarland prevented Crooks from scoring. Evans stole second and went to third on Kahoe’s overthrow to Stewart, Crooks scoring at the same time. Hulen drew four wide ones and while he was being run down between bases Evans crossed the plate. Hulen opened the fifth with a three-bagger and Mertes also landed on the ball for a triple. Genins went out at first and Frank then cracked the ball for three bases, sending Mertes in with the second earned run. Kahoe opened the seventh with a home run drive over the left field fence. The next two men went out and Foreman hit for two bases. Ilogriever walked to first and Gray reached the initial corner on Evans’s fumble, Foreman sprinting home on the play. In the eighth Wolters singled, went to third on Stewart’s error, when Fisher hit to second base and scored on Evans’s out at first. Crooks muffed Flynn’s line drive in the ninth. Hogriever’s out at first advanced Flynn and he scored on Gray’s single. Score: Columbus. A.B. R. 11. O. A. B.

PI ft* burg Reported to Have Offered Hanlon Over $12,000 u Year. NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—The Journal tomorrow will publish the following: Edward Hanlon, the successful manager of the Baltimore's, was recently the recipient of the most astonishing offer in the history of professional baseball. The owners of the Pittsburg club, which has had poor success in the pennant light for some years past, desired to secure the services of the great Baltimore manager. They invited him to a conference and formally offered him a contract calling for $12,000 a year and a quarter interest in the club. In fact, H. R. Vonderhorst, the princijial owner of the Baltimore club, said that if Hanlon left the club he (Vonderhorst) would immediately sell out his interest. Fail.ng to secure Hanlon the Pittsburgers engaged W. H. W atkins, of Indianapolis, who was manage r of the champion Detroits when Hanlon was center fielder and captain, and has since piloted throe Western League clubs to victory. The owneis of the Philadelphia club also made an effort to engage Hanlon, but without success. Hanlon, who was at Hoboken to-day, said that so far as he knew the Orioles would start the season of 1898 trie same as at present. He was disappointed at his failure to win four successive pennants. but said the finish was so close it was no disgrace to come second. He felt that but fpr the unparalleled list of injured players irr the earlier part of the season he would have had a safe lead at the close He paid a tribute to the great ability of “Kid” Nichols, the Boston pitcher. 1 REVENGE OF A HERMIT.

Acts xx, 24 —“None of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself; so that I might finish my course with joy.” The topic of the discourse was “Christian Heroism.” The pastor said, in part: “The picture which forms a setting for the text is simple and pathetic. Paul is hastening to Jerusalem for the feast of Pentecost, although impressed with the apprehension of the ‘bonds and afflictions’ which he actually experienced there. He is visiting the churches where he can and holding interviews with the elders of those he cannot visit. At Miletus he is giving parting advice to the elders from Ephesus, in which he utters these words of heroic steadfastness, purpose, consecration and hope. He had a great mission, to which he brought a great consecration, sustained by a great hope. And this made him a hero. Heroism is the unselfish doing and suffering of a great soul in a great cause. Selfish genius may be great and brilliant, but it cannot be heroic. Caesar and Napoleon, Richelieu and Machiavelli, may be great, but they cannot be heroic. A hero sees a great cause and devotes himself to it, accepting without evasion all Its labors and perils. All the world admires a hero, for he is the realization of the spirit which every man in his best moment aspires to. He is at once our example and reproof. HEROISM OF ST. PAUL. “The men of his times could not comprehend the heroism of St. Paul. He did not look it. He was small of stature, dim-eyed, homeless, poor and without tho graces of oratory. His associates were from the humbler classes. lie had passed from a judge of the high court of his people to an outcast wanderer. To the Jew he seemed a' pervert, to the Greek a babbler, to the Roman a lawbreaker and to the civil magistrates a storm center of confusion and violence. Yet all these critics have gone dotvn into silence and the words and fame of St. Paul fill the world. “He was a hero by every adequate test. He apprehended a great mission. Men often become heroes by some divine anointing, some sudden apprehension of new relations, some instantaneous great resolve. Moses was a shepherd until he threw down his rod at God's command by the burning bush, but when he took it up again he was a hero with the rod of God in his hand and the power to conquer Egypt in his heart. “Luther was only a disturbed monk when he began the ascent of the scala sancta on his knees, but he was a hero before he reached tiie top, when he had heard in his soul the divine words, “The just shall live by faith.” Saul was only a devoted, misguided, brave man as he rode toward Damascus breathing out threatenings anil slaughter against Christians. He was a hero when in the light of the knowledge revealed to him he inquired: ‘Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?’ Saul the Pharisee saw' only the glory of his countrymen, and hoped only for a coming prince, who should sit on the throne of David and restore the liberty and prosperity of his people. Paul the Apostle saw a spiritual kingdom of truth and love and power which should till the earth with authority and abide through all the coming ages. And he knew himself called of God to proclaim and defend it. He gave himself to it with an absolute consecration. He knew that it meant the surrender of all that he had counted gain, the breaking of friendships, the loss of position, wanderings, poverty, imprisonments, stripes. It meant all these through the long years to the weary end, and then violent death. But he says, ‘None of these things move me.’ He was a hero. Ho cherished a great hope of final triumph and unmeasured blessing to himself and others. He had visions, as all great souls do. There are men all about us who can see only property and pleasure, and place and society and the eminence of position, as realities. God, heaven, spiritual communion, human brotherhoou, are only uncertain dreams which flit dimly before them as unsubstantial figments of a fevered brain. Paul was caught up into the highest heavens and heard holy words which he might not repeat to men. Sometimes he could not tell whether his great spirit was in the bodv or out of the body. Macedonia came to him in the vision of a man, saying come over and help us. He saw the man return to the Son of Man to take possession of a redeemed world, and thought it might even be in his own day. He saw the day when death should be swallowed up in vietory, and lifted the exultant shout, O grave, where is thy victory? O deatn, where is thv sting?’ Thanks to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. He had the faith and hope of a hero and at the last, out of the chill and gloom of his Roman prison, he could go forth to the place of execution, saying: *1 have fought a good tight; I have finished my course; I have kept the faith. "Even for us is the same great mission of winning the world for Christ and placing the crown of life on the brow of a redeemed humanity. WAY IS STILL OPEN. “For us is the same great consecration; for to-day, as in tho past, if any man will come after Him he must deny himself and take up his cross to be His follower. But the form of service differs with the shifting reeds of the ages. The early heroes fought great giants; David conquered Goliath, Columbus compelled a way for commerce over the stormy and trackless ocean, and Cyrus Field forced It to spread its waves like a mantle over his roadway for thought. Fremont pierced the solitudes of the cloudcapped Rockies and was a pathfinder to the Western seas. But our battles are with microbes, not giants. We fight, the cholera baccilli and the yellow fever germs. “So in spiritual things. It is ours to o\ercome the allurements of wicked pleasure, to conquer unholy selnshnese, to keep the in immaculate whiteness, to star ■ iirm and steady in the way of common daily duties, to live the Christ teachings so that men wi know that we have learned of Him—so shall we S ee visions and hear voices aud finish our courses with joy.”

LIFE is as we make it. Dr. Smi<li Talk* of the Wealth of Opportnnlty and Paucity of Ability. A largo audience greeted Rev. J. Cummin# Smith yesterday morning at the Tabernacle Church. In substance Mr. Smith spoke as follows: “No man that has looked into the core of life has failed to mark the two attitudes of men—the one of open welcome towards the wealth that lies around and the other of refusal hidden and dogged, and that opulence which surrounds even the lowest and most meager soul pours itself only in the former. Our world is crowded with instruments of music, for the most part silent, because few or no deft hands know how to play upon the strings. Take, for example, a city. It means a mass of men of many views and many ambitions. It means an enormous institutional life. It means myriads of enticing opportunities. It tneans college and commerce, art and religion, industrial vigor and commercial impressiveness. It is a microcosm, a compact and condensed world. Into this center of possible culture the man enters with a flippant and frivolous soul. He has none of that humility which means a hunger for all the noblest inspirations. There is an inexplicable self-complacency and self-satis-faction that benumbs every feeling for progress. This sort of man glides in and out of this living, thrilling mass, and the flight of weeks finds him as empty and airy as when he entered it. Exuberant though it is, tiae man can draw nothing from it. All its resources stand indignantly outside the pale of his conceit artoi refuse to enrich him. Picture another man, with a receptive soul, a nervous constitution, and how alert he is to catch the floating Ideals: how he absorbs the matchless movements of commerce; how the political fever sets him afire; how the various societies of being and orbal culture load him; how the multiform energies of churchlife court his mind to its best zeal. The flight of weeks finds him a matur<sl and many-sided man. There is. 1 believe, a mathematical precision in this law. A man gets out of a thing just in proportion as he gives his best to it. This will drive away a vast deal of repellant superstition from the church. Take the Bible. We all can lay

aside artificial ideas of inspiration and believe in its deep inspiration—that It is crammed with truth and hope for our lives But while we hold this orthodox doctrine we may rarely resort to that fount of truth, expecting somehow the vague faith that floats about in the air will better us; or, if we go to the Word we find it has a strange power of holding back Its hordes and refusing to give us the light we looked for. Then we fall back into the gulf of skepticism. No mean part of the current unbelief springs from the disappointment in the Bible a man experiences who only or. rare occasions opens the Bible, and then with the best part of himself inactive. A field gives a crop to match the toil of the farmer. A bank declares a dividend only to the investor, and according to his investment. The spiritual world is in many respects a supernatural world, and yet the laws we make here in the field, in the bank, reach out into the unseen spheres, and there can be no giving of great hope and inspiration except to the man who waits upon the means. I sometimes think that there are too many talkers who are throwing out their own thoughts, sometimes gloomy and often murky, upon our world, just as the rivers of Maine and New Brunswick send out their driftwood upon the sea to menace the passage of steamers. Men say this and men say that, and the world wants to know what God says. It is curious to see in our age of unsettlement along religious lines how men demand an authority above the human. This is one secret of the power of the Church of Rome. Its priesthood stands for authority; its Pope is the mouthpiece of God. The weary heart that finds unrest in alt our Protestant sects turns with a sense of repose to the great church that stands for God and revoices the message of the Almighty. This is, we all believe, extreme. It is akin to superstition. It robs men of their independence before God. But, with all its faults, I would rather be the most suppliant believer in the confessional and a tlaming purgatory than one of our men who arc drifting like seaweed on a vast sea of gloom. Better a bigot than the vagrant. We w r ant more and more to keep our old world in poise a pulpit that echoes God to the letter, that sees how little we can know in the whole cloudy realm of the other world apart from what God, through men, has told us. Take one case more: Sorrow. The common saying that sorrow h:is an inherent power to injure is scarcely true. The attitude of a man towards the sorrow that smiti*s is the other factor in the problem. Sorrow, as a fact, can sour, as well as sw’eeten. We have seen seme men go through trial and merges ennobled and pure. Anew gentleness sat upon them. The old air of self-sufficiency passed away. The reason was the attitude of the soul towards God. who commissioned tho sorrow to come. ’lt is no accident; it is no mishap: life is no luck or lottery: God knows it all.’ This the brave man said as the storm swept over his life and made him a truer, deeper man. But the other man. when the same stroke falls, encourages a defiant mood. Then comes an inward muttering: ‘There is no God. no love, no divine plan, or else this death would never have left the cruel void at my hearth.’ So the soul in its rebellion mutters. Weeks pass, and years, the same unconquered rebellion remains there. The man grotyvs colder and dwarfish with his despair. We have seen men go down to the gates of death without a ray of hope to cheer their path, because they knew not the open, manly attitude of reverence to the fatherhood of God or tenderness of Jesus.” * SUNDAY IN LONDON. Dr. Ellison Talks of the Difference Between London and Paris. The First Baptist Church was crowded last night to hear the first of the series of lectures by Dr. Ellison on “Sundays in Foreign Lands. ’ The subject for last night’s lecture was “Sundays in Old England.” In opening Dr. Ellison gave a short description of London. “You can lose Sunday on the continent,” he said, “but you cannot lose it in London. Frenchmen staying in London try to get back to Paris over Sunday because they say there is nothing going on here in London. If you have been out late the night before and say to yourself, ‘well, to-morrow is Sunday, I will be able to sleep till 12 o’clock,’ you will find yourself unable to do so. When next morning comes the air is so filled with the sound of church bells that sleep is out of the question. The streets are thronged with worshipers and the churches are filled to overflowing. “There is another thing,” continued Dr. Ellison. “There are plenty of eatinghouses and saloons, yet when the time the law prescribes for closing comes they are all shut up tight and are not opened till the law* allows them to.” Dr. Ellison told of hearing Dr. Charles H. Spurgeon preach once to a congregation of 8,000 persons. During his talk he, gave short descriptions of St. Paul’s and Westminster Abbey. FEAST OF THE HOLY ROSARY Celebrated with Fitting: Ceremony at St. John’s Church Yesterday. Yesterday in the Catholic churches -was the feast of the holy rosary, and was celebrated in them all. The services, at St. John’s, which is looked upon as the. principal Catholic Church of greater Indianapolis, at 10:30 o’clock consisted of high mass sung by Rev. Joseph Achatz, with appropriate music by tho organist and choir under Prof. George M. Hebble. Rev. James A. O’Brien delivered a splendid sermon on “The Rosary” of an historicatcharacter, enumerating how from the early ages of Christianity the rosary lias been recited by the learned kings, princes and saints of the church as well as those of more humble birth. The month of October is in a special manner dedicated to the rosary, w 7 nich w'ill be recited daily at the parochial mass at 8 o'clock each week-day morning und on Sunday just after vespers or preceding benediction. The Ladies’ Total Abstinence and Living Rosary societies held well-attended meetings after vespers. These societies have a large number of members and assist In various church and good works. NOT YET ACCEPTED. Resignation of Dr. Pounds, of the Central Christian Church. It was understood that the officials of the Central Christian Church would take some action on tho resignation recently tendered by Rev. John B. Pounds, pastor of the church, yesterday, but it was decided to postpone action on the resignation until after the coming church convention. Meantime Dr. Pounds will continue to occupy the pulpit of the church. It is said that quite a large portion of the congregation regret that Dr. Pounds ever determined to resign, and hope is expressed that he will reconsider his action, a number feel that he would do so were he given assurance that the opposition is of less magnitude than he supposed. Officers of the church insist that there are no factions and that Dr. Pounds's resignation was the result of a misunderstanding rather than of a serious breach in the harmony of the church. Retrofit of the Clergy of Vineenne*. The retreat of the clergy of the diocese of Vincennes will begin this (Monday) morning

Drugs are used in imitation of POSTUM Cereal Food Coffee to give it a bitter or coffee taste. In the desperate attempts of counterfeiters to take the public money, they resort to ingredients that are harmful to the human stomach. It took over a year of experimenting to learn how to prepare pure Cereals to give them a coffee flavor and yet preserve their absolute purity and food value. No other Cereal Coffee with a distinct Coffee flavor is pure and harmless. All genuine packages of Postum have red seals and the words, “It makes red blood’’ thereon.
