DE PfIUW DAY AT ACTON ♦ VICE CHANCELLOR HICKMAN SPEAKS OF UNIVERSITY FINANCES. • ■■■ -♦ Expected to Raise a Half Million Endowment Fond—The Bethany Meeting—Pentecost Services. a Yesterday w r as assigned as De Pauw day at Acton Park, and a number of interesting addresses were delivered. A number of prominent college men were present, among whom were the speakers. Captain Ritter, of Indianapolis; Dr. Hickman, vice chancellor of De Pauw University; Rev. Mr. Wise, pastor of College-avenue, at Greencastle, and Thomas Nadal, of Greencastle, who won the prize in the state oratorical contest this year. An impression has gone abroad that the university is in bad financial straits, but Dr. Hickman showed this to be exaggerated. He assured his audience that the institution will be able to pull through until the settlement of the De Pauw estate, which is worth a quarter of a million. Said Dr. Hickman: “Twenty thousand dollars in the last few months have been subscribed or given outright to the sustaining fund and the permanent endowment fund. A plan has already been outlined and passed by several conventions, among them the Epworth League state convention, to raise a half million dollars for a permanent endowment fund as a gift from the nineteenth century to the twentieth century.” The work of the day was opened by Dr. T. A. Goodwin, of Indianapolis, who conducted the devotional exercises. The address of the day was given by Dr. Hickman, who spoke on De Pauw University and Indiana Methodism. He introduced his remarks by speaking of the revolution which has swept over the Nation in the last few months on account of the present war. He then spoke of the premium the world pays on the educated mind, of the place the educated man fills in politics, business and society. The doctor said that Methodist parents owed it to their sons and daughters to give them such an education as would give them an equal chance in life with other educated men and women. “The Methodist Church must educate her own leadership,” said the speaker. “What West Point and the Naval Academy are to the Nation, the university and theological school are to the church. As the Nation could not hold its own, even with an effete and dying civilization like Spain, without men trained by these schools, neither can the Methodist Church hold her own, not to say make progress, in these difficult times without an equipped leadership; and that leadership must be trained in her own schools.” Continuing, the doctor said, “Conduct is three-fourths of life, and knowledge only incidental, while character is everything. Since religion is the greatest factor in molding moral character, it follows that religion should permeate all educational institutions. Methodist colleges must not be second to any in the land.” Dr. Hickman said the College of Liberal Arts has been changed but little, the reports to the contrary notwithstanding. Captain Ritter made a brief address on Methodism, saying in part: “The Methodist Church came into the State of Indiana as a mental as well as a spiritual force. It came to help redeem ana educate the people of the State. It undertook to plant the schoolhouse beside the church. Governor Whitcomb, as a Methodist Governor, did probably more effective work than any other one man to establish and incorporate into our State Constitution our present school system. His work was supplemented by his successor and a number of other prominent Methodist laymen. Methodist ministers have been thoroughly devoted to education as a part of their great calling. Governor Whitco-mb was also an ardent and efficient frend of De Pauw University, bequeathing to it his valuable library. Governor Wright was a graduate of Asbury, now De Pauw, University. Governor Lane was on the board of trustees from the organization of this university and until after his election as Governor. Educational interests as represented b£ De Pauw, in the minds’ of our greatest laymen and ministers, were something to be struggled for, sacrificed for, and right nobly did they do their work. We must receive anew the spirit of the early fathers of Methodism in Indiana. We must '■ take hold of the college as they did and bring it up to its former standard of excellence, To let this institution go down would be to abandon Methodism.” Dr. Wise, of Greencastle, spoke on “Secularism and Christian Education.” He took the ground that the great conflict in the religious world is not a conflict in the creeds, but that it is a conflict between Christianity and secularism, it is a question whether Christian principles can be applied to the social and political institutions of society; whether there can be a Christ order of society instead of a society organized on the principles of selfishness. In that conflict, the university holds the strategic point. It is training the future editors, merchants and college men as well as tho ministers. What philosophy of life these men hold will construct the civilization of to-morrow. The speaker then made a plea for a great Christian university, bold, honest, thorough and reverent, in which the future leaders of the world should be trained. He closed with an especial plea for De Pauw University. In the afternoon Mr. Nadal delivered his successful oration on "The New Patriotism.” A number of selections were rendered by the Mandolin Club, composed of Edward Dashiel Harrv Wheeler and Miss Jessamine Boilvin. There was also a piano solo by Miss Jennie Thompson and a vocal solo by Mr. McClain. In the evening an entertainment, consisting of humorous and miscellaneous readings, was conducted by Miss Blanche Breneman. A of young people. including Misses Bertlfa Siddall, Edith White, Maude Witman. Louella Bowen, Emma Ronecker and J. L. Stout, chaperoned by Mrs. Maria Thatcher attended Epworth League at Shelbyville last night, returning on the midnight train. The work of the W. C. T. U. will be taken up this morning and will continue until Fridav evening. Many of the best speakers of the union will be present during the session. *- SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION. Officer* Elected by the Association at Bethany. Yesterday was tha second day of the state Sunday school convention at Bethany Park with a fair attendance, but not up to the expectations. The day was pleasant and cool and the guest® occupied the time in gossiping on the verandas, some with fancy work, while others played croquet or went boating on the lake. In the afternoon just before supper time a thunderstorm came up, doing considerable damage to the dwellers in tents, and making it necessary for people to stay in doors all evening. The people who suffered most were a party from Arcadia which had recently come to the park. The wind blew its tent down and before the people recovered from their astonishment everything in it was wet through and through, leaving them without shelter or bedding for the night. Five other tents blew down also. Rev. D. R. l.ucas delivered a patriotic address in the morning, taking for his subject “The Firm of Smith, Jones and Brown,” or three different periods of American life; the revolution, the civil war and the present, also illustrating three types of men, Smith representing an Englishman, Jones a Scotchman and Brown a Y'ankee. The lecture was one of the best heard during the session this year, and called forth much applause. After the lecture Mrs. Buxton gave one of her popular talks before the convention on the "Primary Lesson,” after which Rev. J. L. Parsons talked on “Bible Studv." At 11 o’clock “An Hour with a Sunday School, or tho School Actual” was the subject of an address by Mr. Buxton. In the afternoon the state convention held a business meeting at which the officers and directors for the ensuing year were elected. They are as follows: President, J. H. McNeill, Rushville; vice president, S. J. Tomdnson. Irvington: secretary, H. A. Turney, Brooklyn; treasurer, Amos Clifford, Indianapolis; directors. E. S. Conner, J. S. Harris, W. E. Callene, T. M.

The principal speaker for to-day will be A. W. Conner, w’ho will read from “Mai Christian,” “A Story of Learning to Love His Boy.” There will also be a musical programme this afternoon and a lecture in the evening. To-morrow the C. W. B. M. will hold its convention. THE PENTECOST BANDS. They Will Baptize at Broad Ripple Next Sunday. The camp meeting of the Pentecost Bands at Broad Ripple Park is still In progress, and tho interest is increasing with each night’s service. It will continue over next Sunday. Doctrinally the sect is Wesleyan, and tho meetings are representative of oldfashioned camp meetings. There is much demonstration, and frequently, while some stirring song is being sung, a dozen or more people will be on their feet, shouting and even leaping, and with shining faces, testifying that God is blessing their souls. Their manner of securing converts is greatly in contrast with the popular methods usually employed by the churches. The mourners’ bench before the pulpit is usually filled with seekers when the call is made at the close of the preaching service. After an interval of weeping, groaning and praying, the seekers generally rise to their feet and joyfully claim to have received a change of heart. There are some good preachers among them. One of them, a tall, ungainly Dane, attracts special attention by getting uncontrollably happy and skipping around like a schoolboy. He is an earnest and interesting talker. Among the women workers there are some talented singers, and their stirring and pathetic solos make an impression on the audience. The services last from early morning until late in the night, almost without intermission. Monday afternoon two special services, one for the men and another for the women, were held by Rev. Nelson and his wife, respectively. Mr. Nelson claims to have discovered the cause and remedy for the ills attendant upon those who live licentious lives. Both old and young who attended this meeting testify to having received much light and help through this agency. A similar special service for each sex will be held Friday afternoon at 2:30. The meetings aro open for the public. There will be an ordination meeting for workers of both sexes Thursday night. A number will be oidained. The ceremony employed is largely peculiar to the sect and impressive. There will also be a special baptismal service Sunday afternoon at the river. THE STORM AT CAMP. Colonel’s Mesa Had a Close Call for Supper. Colonel Durbin and the regimental officers at Camp Mount barely escaped going to bed last night supperless. The headquarters was moved yesterday from the executive building to the new tents to the east of the race track. The cook tried to get a fire started in the new cook stove, but as no one seemed to know how to operate it the chances of going without rations for awhile seemed good. The. cook was energetic, however, and finally managed to win over the obstinate stove and announced supper to a ravenous crowd of officers. During the rain last evening a pie wagon came into camp and was stampeded by the boys. Pies are on the prohibited list and as soon as it was known to a certainty the man had sold out his load the colonel ordered him driven from camp. He was much surprised later to find a pile of the prescribed edibles oivtbe regimental mess table. Everyone did justice to them, prohibition or no prohibition, even to the colonel. E. O. McCormick, traffic manager of the Big Four, was visiting Colonel Durbin at camp yesterday, with his wife and Passenger Agent Bronson. Now that the camp has again settled down to a business basis and the men have all received their new rifles all hands will be Instructed in the manual of arms beside the old foot drills. Several of the members of the colored companies aro in the guardhouse as a result of a souffle engaged in Monday night. Tho officer of the guard attempted to arrest a colored man who was acting in a boisterous manner and met a sharp resistance from the man and his companions before they were finally subdued. Several mild cases of malaria are reported in camp. Private John Griffith, of Jeffersonville, who has been sick for several days, was reported as worse last night. His condition is, however, not alarming. Twenty-Two New Regulars. Capt. William Black enlisted twenty-two men in the regular army yesterday, as follows: Hospital Corps—Herman P. Hodson, Indianapolis.

Cristman, Dublin, Ind.; Herman Lange, Indianapolis; Joseph Heaner, Terre Haute, Ind.; John W. Franklin. Sevmour, Ind.; Edgar A. Patterson, Worthington, Ind.; David D. Wiles, Worthington, Ind.; Dell Vandiver, Indianapolis. Heavy Artillery—Charles E. Newgent, Orleans. Ind.; Bert S. Brown, Morning Sun, O.; Thomas Dodson, Muncie, Ind.; Henry Koehler, Indianapolis; Ephraim E. Cowah, Worthington, Ind. His Conscience Troubled Him. Ed H. Bartlett, 17% South Alabama street, was arrested last night upon a charge of criminal assault upon Nellie Kerfoot, a twelve-year-old girl who is visiting a neighbor of Bartlett. The story of the act first came to the police through the old man himself, who, conscience-stricken and unable to sleep, had risen from his bed and made his way to the police headquarters. Monday afternoon he went out hlackberrving and had brought back a quantity of fruit. The child had come to hie room and asked for berries. While there Bartlett kissed her. This was his story to the police. Patrolmen Holtz and Wallace went to the home of the aunt of the child, and the story was there confirmed, but It was not desired to prosecute Bartlett, as the child had not been injured. He was locked up. nevertheless. Bartlett is an old soldier, and it is not believed that he is in full possession of his faculties. During the war he was shot twice in the head. CITY NEWS NOTES. Columbia-avenue Car 344 and one of Beck’s meat wagons came together yesterday at the corner of Illionis and Washington streets. The wagon suffered slightly, but no serious damage was done.

THE COUNTY PRIMARIES LARGE CROWDS OF REPUBLICANS WERE OUT LAST NIGHT.

Joss and Hovey have long been identified with Marion county politics. The Republican primaries held in this county yesterday to elect three sets of delegates to the conventions to-day were extremely well attended and in many of the wards there were lively contests.

Willis Floyd, of Whitestown, Ind., came to this city yesterday, and, when the storm bjew up so quickly at 6 o’clock, was near the corner of Alabama and Washington streets. He weighs about 275 pounds, and consequently was not very quick in getting to shelter. He started across the street directly in front of an approaching delivery wagon, which was making time to get out of the storm. The man was knocked down end both wheels of the heavy wagon passed over his head. It is also believed he was k'cked on the head by the horse. Two men ran to his assistance, but, rather than get soaking wet, left him lying in the street. He was later moved into a store, and then taken to the Dispensary. He was very ill, and it was feared his skull was fractured. At the City Hospital, where he was moved, it was learned, howeve.*, that a serious concussion was the extent of the injury.

If we And him his fate will surely be that of Cervera. “I have nothing to say of the army movements off Santiago, except that they seem tc have lost very heavily. From all I can learn the men were full of sand up to their chins. If they had not been, I fear we would have met with a severe reverse. General Miles has now gone to Porto Rico, and we are hourly expecting news of his landing. Please give my kindest regards to Admiral Brown, and believe me, etc.” MR. HAUGHEY’S TERM Will Expire Aug. O—He May Be Pardoned. United States District Attorney Wlshard has received a letter from Washington asking when the sentence of Theodore P. Haughey expires and what the costs in the case are. Mr. Haughey’s sentence expires Aug. 9, but unless the costs ($258.38) are paid, he must serve thirty days longer.

Work on the preparation of Hey wood Park for the camp of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, will begin to-day. There is a great deal of work to be done to put the large area that Camp Colgrove will cover in condition for use. To put the whole ground in shape for the four thousand tents that are to occupy It will require the labor of a large force of men for a week. This work will be done under the direct supervision of Chairman Ross, of the executive committee, and the members of the committee on camp and camp grounds. As soon as this preliminary work is done the Indianapolis Water Company and the Indianapolis Light and Power Company will enter the ground-and the former will lay mains and pipes all through the camp and the latter will erect about fifty arc lights. Monticeilo’s Sewer Problem. The State Board of Health has been appealed to for support by some of the citizens of Monticeilo, who are in favor of putting in a new' sewer system in that town. The board some time ago sent out reports to the citizens of different towns, outlining a plan for the sanitation of small towns as a means of preventing disease. Since that time some of the influential citizens in Monticeilo have tried to secure anew sewer system, but have met considerable opposition from the more old-fashioned element. A lively fignt was scheduled for last night, to which Dr. Hurty was invited to give his views on the matter before the convention assembled to discuss the question. Orange County’s Poor Farm. Paoli, the county seat of Orange county, is just now having its internal troubles over the differences of opinion among the citizens as to whether anew poor asylum is to be built or not. Th’a present institution has been condemned by the State Board of Health and the better citizens of the town, who desire to have the county build anew and modern building, are making a hard fight for it. The county farm is a fine one, but the buiiding is altogether unsuited for use as a poor asylum. At this time it shelters twice as many paupers as good health will permit and the chances are a new building will be voted at once. Don’t Want Market Every Day. The dealers at the market yesterday informed the Board of Public Safety that they would rather have three good market days than six poor ones, and, therefore, they did not want to accept the proposition of the board to keep the market house open every week day during August, in consideration of the national gatherings.

REPORTS FROM SH AFTER OVER 0,000 SICK SOLDIERS, INCLUDING SPANIARDS, AT SANTIAGO. Deaths from Yellow and Other Fevers Increasing—Political Prisoners Released by the General. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—General Shafter’s health reports to-day state that he is now caring for over six thousand sick people, including Spanish soldiers, many of whom were found to be very ill. The task is a formidable one, and the attempt to care for ail patients probably explains in a measure the lack of adequate preparation of the transports employed in bringing home some of the wounded and sick. The conditions on these boats were found to be so shocking as to demand an immediate official investigation, which was begun today, and some court-martials may be looked for in high places unless it can be show'n clearly that the lack of preparations was unavoidable. The detailed conditions of affairs at Santiago, together with a list of deaths on each day is shown in the following telegrams from General Shafter: “Sanitary condition for July 29—Total sick, 4,164; total cases of fever, 3,212; new cases of fever, GO9; returned to duty, 792.

Have not heard from Guantanamo, but General Ewer went three days ago to receive the surrender of arms and political prisoners. They were undoubtedly released on his arrival.’* T. B. REED RENOMINATED. Speech In Whleli the “Czar” Noted the Dearth of Political Feeling. PORTLAND, Me., Aug. 2.—The Republicans of the First congressional district held their convention here to-day. After preliminary business the name of Thomas Brackett Reed was presented to the convention and he was nominated by acclamation amid much enthusiasm. Later Mr. Reed appeared on the floor of the hail. He was greeted with deafening applause, which prevailed until Mr. Reed began to speak. Then someone shouted "Take the platform!” “No,” said Mr. Reed, "Let me have my way once,” and the convention broke into laughter. Mr. Reed then said in part: “All over the country there is a dearth of political feeling. 1 never knew less of it in all the years in which I have known of such things. To me this seems fortunate for the country. I do not refer to the war alone. The war is taking care of itself and seems likely to be soon finished by the fighting qualities of our soldiers; qualities not diminished by thirty-three years of peace, and by the skill of our nival gunners, engineers and sailors, which skill the general education of our people seems to have wonderfully increased. The unfaltering courage of both soldiers and sailors is a cause of pride to every American. “The problems after war will be the most troublesome and will demand the most earnest efforts of us all. For my part I hope that all these problems may be worked out consistently with our time-honored and dearly-bought institutions and with the traditions of our wise forefathers.” Texas Democrat*.

This officer is elected for six years. Returns received here up to 11 o’ lock to-night indicate the Democrats have carried thirtythree counties and the Populists twelve. In four counties carried by the Democrats Populist probate judges were elected. There Is no question except as to the size of the majority of the Democratic candidate for Governor.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2. —James J. Corbett to-day posted $2,500 at the office of a morning paper for a match with “Bob” Fitzsimmons or "Jim” Jeffries. In his letter authorizing the deposit of the money.

Wire and Nail Worker* Rest at a Deep Cut In Wage*. CLEVELAND, 0., Aug. 2.—A strike waff formally declared to-day by the federated wire trades at the works of the H. P. Nall Company and American Wire Company, both of which are now under control of the recently formed wire and nail trust. The strike, when the rod mill and yard men of the American Company Join It, will throw about 2,100 men out of employment. Os these 900 are from the H. P. Company and 1,200 from the American works. The strikers have decided not to pay any attention to the old Consolidated, or Baacke’s mill, which Is also controlled by the trust and where the men are all working. The cause of the strike is the alleged general cut of 331-3 per cent, in wages and a threatened cut of 20 per scent, more. Word came to the strikers late this afternoon that the Baackus mill had 'closed, ostensibly for repairs. But it was stated the move was for the purpose of checking any dissatisfaction that might obtain In that plant This swells the number of men idle to 2,800. The Federated Wire Trades officers say the strike will be extended to every mill controlled by the American Wire Trust. It controls twelve mills, employing over six thousand men In all. The strikers held a meeting to-day, at •which it was resolved to send no more committees to Manager Shuler, to keep away from the mills and give no opportunity for the company to call on the militia or appeal to the United States Court for an injunction, but to maintain a peaceable attitude and wait. It was also determined to strike at every one of the American steel and trust miljs which Is now in operation, and, If possible, to force them out of the market. Manager George H. Shuler, of the company, in an Interview to-day said: "The American Steel and Wire Company has net reduced the wages of the men since last April, when the mills started up. At that time the wire drawers of the American am"' H. P. mills were cut about 26 per cent., ants the men at the Consolidated and Baackus mills received a slight Increase. This was done to systemize the scale of wages paid at all the mills, and at that time the men expressed themselves as satisfied with the conditions.” 5,000 Miner* May Strike.
