AMUSEMENTS. The seance scene in the third act of “A Social Highwayman,” in which the Grand stock company will be seen to-night and ail week, is one of the most unusual episodes ever introduced In a play. The characters are all on the stage, having met at the studio of one of their number at his invitation to be introduced into the mysteries of the occult as exhibited by a noted medium. The medium is supposed to go into a trance, and then ensues the situation upon which so much of the story depends. The accidental departure of Jaffrey from the room just at this moment and his detention by his shrewd valet, is a bit of stage business which interests the audience intensely. These two characters, Jaffrey and the ex-convict Hanby, dominate the performance very largely. "A Social Highwayman” depends for its success very largely on the manner in which the various parts are played, and the Grand stock company should be able to bring out all its strong points. Richard Mansfield owns the rights to "A Social Highwayman” for this country and Europe, and receives the royalties paid for the play. With the engagement of “The Telephone Girl” at English’s the first two nights of this week that theater has an entertainment that promises to be one of :ts chief offerings of the season. It does* not seem possible that this production can duplicate the success scored here by its sister piece, “The Belle of New York.” last season, but being the product of the same two authors, Gustave Kerker writing the music and Hugh Morton contributing the libretto, it comes with a recommendation that Insures a hearty reception. The piece is another of the celebrated New York Casino productions and its long engagement in New York last season is assurance that “The Telephone Girl” has merit. As in “The Belle of New York.” the company is made up of metropolitan singers and comedians, who arc ununknown here except by reputation. Louis Mann and Clara Lipman, the stars, have achieved great personal success, and it is a rare opportunity English’s patrons will have to witness the work of the company of principals and another collection of Casino chorus girls which have been accepted and indorsed in other cities. Walker Whiteside will bring his company to English’s Wednesday and Thursday, giving his new romantic comedy, “The Red Cockade,” both nights, and for Thursday matinee giving a performance of what is spoken of as a classic dramatization of the story of “Eugene Aram.” "A Guilty Mother,” which will begin a three days’ engagement at the Park Theater this afternoon, is one of several scenic productions brought out by James H. Wallick, who. years ago, used to delight the audiences at the Park in “The Bandit King.” Mr. Wallick is a man of considerable wealth, the owner of a large stock farm in the East, and of late years has been devoting himself during the winter months to managing his various stage enterprises, having given up acting himself. “A Guilty Mother" will be followed on Thursday by “On the Suwanee River.” Clark Brothers’ "Royal Burlesquers” will he the Empire's attraction for the first half of the week, beginning this afternoon. The Grand, Park and Empire Theaters will have direct 6onnection with the Western Union Tuesday night and an operator In the houses to receive election returns. W. H. Post, who put on “My Friend from India.” “The Man from Mexico” and other suceecssful comedies, has been engaged by Manager W. M. Wllkison to stage “A Stranger in a Strange Land." “The Yoshivara” is the title of the new play, or, more properly speaking, pantomime and ballet, which Russ Whytal is arranging for La Loie Fuller, and which will probably open the Athenei Comlque in Paris if Miss Fuller succeeds in securing control of that theater. Mario Drofnah, the leading lady of Charles B. Hanford’s company, is said to be a charming and accomplished actress. She is in private life Mrs. Charles B. Hanford. It Is by spelling her married name backwards that you arrive at her nom du theater. It happened upon her debut that she wa* card as a foil to her husband. In the judgment of the management a knowledge of the marital relation by the audience would destroy the Illusion of romance. It was decided therefore to have the ladv known as Marie Drofnah. She Is a Phila‘delphlun, her maiden name being Marietta Twaddell Bear, and a member of the old and well-known Twaddell family. Miss Amelia Bingham la not to be lent to Mr. William H. Crane for his production of "Worth a Million" after ail. Charles Froh-

man has decided to retain Miss Bingham in her present role in “On and Off” at the Madison-square Theater. Gladys Wallis has rejoined the Crane company and will piay in “Worth a Million.” The Empire Theater stock company will begin rehearsals of “Phroso,” the dramatization of Anthony Hope's novel, at the Empire Theater, New York, to-day. The piece will be produced at the Hollis-street Theater, Boston, on Nov. 28. Y. M. C. A. Lecture Course. The Y. M. C. A. lecture course this year will include ten concerts, lectures and entertainments as usual and the course will again be held at English’s Opera House. The De Pasquali Operatic Stars will open the course Monday evening, Nov. 14. Arrangements have been completed by w'hieh they will give the second act of Flotow’s opera, “Martha,” in costume, with scenery, in addition to the usual concert programme. Private letters and other Information received by the committee indicate this company has met with flattering receptions w'hile opening leading Ohio courses. The first lecture will bo given by Dr. A. A. Wlllitts, veteran apostle of “Sunshine.” While many people have heard this it will again be given at the request of those who never tire of its witty and instructive points. Fred Emmerson Brooks, poet humorist, of California, and Owen A. Smily, English musical genius, old lecture course favorites, united, will give one of the most popular entertainments of the course. The concert of the Boston Ladies’ Symphony Orchestra, will be one of the noteworthy musical events. This is one of the best ladies’ orchestras in the country and its repertoire includes the best works of Mozart, Mendelssohn, Haydn, etc., as well as lighter and more popular selections. Virginia Knight Logan, soprano, and six soloists are with the organization. The next number will be William H. Crawford's lecture on John Wycliffe. Rev. Thomas Dixon, jr., well-known New York preacher, author, reformer and orator, will delight men. Three-fourths of his congregations in tne People’s Church, New York, are men. The Ladies’ Military Band, of Boston, in full uniform of white and gold, is another attraction. This organization includes a band of twenty-two pieces, a string orchestra, a full chorus and ten soloists. A personal letter received from the secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Albany, N. Y., says the band is the most novel and attractive musical organization he has ever heard. Edward H. Frye, the monologist, will give Joseph Jefferson's version of Rip Van Winkle. The Park sisters will give the concluding concert. Miss Mabel Lawrence Rhoades assists them In her marblesques, a series of music accompanied tableaux. Dr. Frank Bristol, now of Washington, D. C., and pastor of the church attended by President McKinley, will give the concluding lecture in the course. His lecture is on “Brains.” The lecture committee have obtained more favorable terms from the opera house and lyceum bureau managements than last year, and therefore have placed many of the reserve seats in the house at a lower price than formerly, although, the course is more attractive than that of last season. Many of the patrons of the course prefer reserving for each entertainment separately and five hundred of the best seats in the house have been laid asde for their accommodation. The season reserve seat sale has been quite large, but there are a large number of seats still to be had.

WORLD ENDS NEXT YEAR ♦_ DR. J. T. BOYD ANNOUNCES THE EXACT DATE NOV. 13, 1809. ♦ He Explain* the Matter to an Audience at the Moravian Church. * “The End of the World” was the subject of an address at the Moravian Church, corner of College avenue and Twenty-fifth street, delivered last night by Dr. J. T. Boyd. Dr. Boyd fully believes that the end of the world will come Nov. 13, 1899, and he uses the Bible to confirm his scientific calculations. “Christ is always represented as coming in a meteoric shower,” said he. “and the words, ‘The Lord burned up His enemies,’ prove that the world will end by fire. In the sixth chapter of Revelation is said, ‘The sun became as black as a sack-cloth of hair, the moon became as blood, and the stars fell,’ and this Is an exact description of what will happen on Nov. 13, 1899.” Dr. Boyd reviewed the history of the calculations by which he had discovered the time for the w r orld’s destruction. He said that the earth passes through the stream of meteors known as the Leonid meteors in a different place every thirty-three years. He said that science has practically proved that the meteors are led by two or more immense solid masses, probably composed of iron. Dr. Boyd’s calculations, and he says those of other scientists, show that this globe will pass directly through the center of the head of this comet on Nov. 13 of next year. The consequence will be the extinction of the human race, with the exception of those who believe in Christ and are removed by Him at His second coming, which will occur before the final destruction. The speaker gave an illustration of the end which he believes is approaching. "Suppose there is an engine on the Big Four which passes a certain crossing at 12 o’clock every day,” said ne. “Upon the track crossing the Big Four at right angles is a long train of freight cars passing at 11 o'clock one day, and one minute later each succeeding day. Finally there will be a collision. The first time the caboose will probably be carried away. Upon the second day a car. and so on for each succeeding day until the engines strike, when there is general destruction. The earth is the engine upon the Big Four, the freight train is the comet, with the engine as the solid body at Us nead. Heretofore the earth has struck only the small particles in the tail of the comet, and these have been dissolved by the atmosphere. Had they struck the earth, coming as they do at the speed of forty-five milts a second, they wou.a have penetrated through it. But when the immense solid mass strikes the earth one-third of the world will be destroyed, the surface of the globe will be changed, terrific gales will sweep the land and seas and the lava from the Interior of the earth will overspread Its surface." "This,” sad the speaker, “is the awful manner in which the end will come. But those who are saved need not fear it. for Christ will remove mem until anew heaven and anew earth is evolved from the chaos.” Dr. Boyd is a kindly old man, with bright, dark eyes and a long gray beard. He seems to be profoundly in earnest and Is anxious to impress his belief upon the rest of the world. There were only about fifty in the crowd which hoard him last night and he addressed them in tones almost fatherly. Dr. Boyd had an interesting article in the Journal yesterday on the meteoric Shower. CITY NEWS NOTES. The ladies of Holy Innocents Church will give a supper from 3 to 8 o’clock next Thursday.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1898.

MISSION OF REPORTERS MR. PARRISH THINKS THEM DIVINELY' COMMISSIONED TOILERS. His Sermon on Newspaper Men—Rev. Mr. Ilayt at Mayflower. Church. —♦ A sermon about newspaper men was preached by Rev. F. G. Parrish, pastor of the South-street Baptist Church, last night. The text was from the nineteenth chapter of the first chapter of Revelation, which reads: “Write the things which thou hast seen.” “The Isle of Patmos,” said Mr. Parrish, “is not remembered c n account of its varied scenery, but because of the man who lived and wrote there. The man John is an unusually interesting character because he represents a class of men whose work in these modern times is of such worth as to be incapable of overstating. It is to call attention to the unnoticed and unappreciated hero of the pencil that I have taken this subject to-night. In my judgment no more truth-loving, conscientious, persistent, energetic, indefatigable workers are to be found in any field of human endeavor than in new r spaperdom. They are men of rare w'orth. of sterling integrity, of unpurchasable honor. In fact, to do the work of the men of the pencil the best type of man and the highest quality of manhood is required. I want to register my protest against the soulless notion that the newspaper man delights to carry the putrid carcass of scandal to the feast room of his fellows. He is bent on other business. He is faithfully recording the daily, hourly history of these stirring times in a most impartial and truthful manner. He Is making a portrayal in lifelike realism of the multitudinous acts of men. Let us not consider the newspaper man a pestiferous, malevolent creature, but the heroic servant of civilization, well worthy of the title ‘public benefactor.’ “John was told by God to write what he had seen. To the newspaper men 1 say: You are divinely commissioned toilers. Yours is a work upon which God has set his seal. To the world you should say, ‘I have a message from God; I am divinely sent.’ ” Mr. Parrish went on to say that -while the church tails to reach the masses the newspaper, reaches all. While an eloquent minister reaches a few thousand, the best newspapers reach hundreds of thousands. There is no force among men, he said, whose purpose is to so unerringly carry out the message of God as that of the journals. Without their aid no pulpit could succeed. Many newspapers are preaching sounder gospel than many men in the pulpit whose heads have received the anointing oil. The pulpit should hail the press as a fellowlaborer, with no less authority and with greater power. The speaker said that he hoped that soon a discriminating public will show a greater appreciation of the w ork of the newspapers. As surely as God had a mission for Moses, Daniel, Elijah and Paul, He has sent the men of journalism to * write the things which they have seen.” Mr. Parrish went on to speak of the newspaper work itself. THE REPORTER’S LIFE. He said, “The conscientious reporter touches the life of public men, he separates truth from error, he finds the true men. The man in office who is serving himself alone is deterred by him from committing the worst offenses against the public interest. The common reporter is the faithful bearer of truth to the public, and rarely, if ever, is the verdict of a reputable newspaper unjust in its estimation of a public man. Upon the journal the voter must depend for his knowledge of how to vote, and right well does the reporter do his duty. While the rest of us are sleeping in our beds, or are resting in some quiet nook, he is on the trail of the traitor to public trust, untiring, never impatient, and the greatest man quivers as he feeis the reporter’s thrust." The speaker then spoke of the work of the correspondents who reported the progress of the events of the war and said that it only illustrates the work of newspaper men in general. He said, “No braver man went to the front than the plain, reticent war correspondent. He did not go out for a summer excursion, nor to write literature, but to give the new-s to an irresponsive public. Where will you find the man of the pencil when missiles of death are vomiting forth from ribs of steel, when the crimson rain is baptizing the soil of the tropics and the lives of the American, soldiery are poured forth like water? Will you find him in the rear, sneaking away from the bullets, doling out to the public old stuff, of interest and value to none? No; he marches with.loe Wheeler and his warriors into the jaws of death. He is with the firing line, rewriting the bloody pages torn from his grasp by the bullet. He is going through the plague-infected hospital, taking the name® of the sick that the mother and sister may know that the loved one is safe. Then when the bloody work is ended and the brave soldier goes to his sleep the correspondent starts for the telegraph office, twenty or thirty miles away, unconscious of fatigue. The desire to get the news and give it to the public is the one emotion of his soul. When the soldiers came home they came as conquering chieftains, while the newspaper man was unnoticed. Os himself he was reticent, but of the courage of the man In blue he was eloquent. "The newspaper is the power of our civilization. All honor to the men whose zeal, spirit and energy have given to America the proudest position in the galaxy of nations.”

HEAVENLY VISIONS. Rev. S. A. Hnyt'x Sermon at May Horror Church. Rev. S. A. Hayt preached at the Mayflower Congregational Church yesterday morning upon the subject, “Heavenly Visions.” His text was Acts, twenty-sixth chapter and nineteenth verse, “I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision.” Mr. Hayt said that Paul gave up the bent of his, life when he saw a vision. In following the dictates of the first vision, even greater visions appeared to him as the years passed. The obedience changed his character, and his visions were the product of his changed character. The inward state and outward vision were complementary. This is true everywhere. Those who keep themselves pure have heavenly visions. He who does good deeds has noble ambitions. The bad man believes in bad things and sees bad things. The man who feels a passion has his life fixed by it. The speaker said that the man who is cynical about women and men, institutions and society, is putting out his own eyes and walking in darkness. At the same time, if a man believes in his fellow-creatures he helps both himself and the man he believes in. The speaker said that to have heavenly visions it is necessary to be obedient to the divine call. Obedience is the solid foundation of character and success. Civilization is built on It. He who disobeys the laws of the mind is sent to the insane asylum. He who disobeys the laws of health is given over to the physician and an early grave. Obedience is our safeguard and the highest law of our being. In obedience to the spiritual law man guards his spiritual interests and sees the spiritual visions. Man's life is full of heavenly visions, and the height of his life is in obedience to them all. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. P. A. Havellck has been called to Sandusky, 0., by the serious illness of his mother. Mrs. Lnw’son A. Boyd, of Abbeville. S. 0.. is the guest of Mrs. Samuel M. Compton, 312 Norm Delaware street.

Better I’rlee* Have Prevailed than at Other Markets—With the Miller* There is but little question as to the Indianapolis stock yards doing more business the present year than in any year since the yards were established. President Samuel Rauh Is very confident that there will be handled this year 1,500,000 hogs at theyar<l*. if the business of November and December meets expectations. The official report of business done at the yards shows that in the ten months ending Oct. 31 there were handled at the yards 1,280,409 hogs, against 946,267 hogs in the corresponding period of 1897, an increase of 334,142 head. In October there w r ere handled at the yards 131,007 hogs, against 90,514 head in October, 1897. In the ten months there were handled at the yards 113,392 head of cattle, against 123,287 head In the corresponding ten months of 1897, a decrease this year of 8,895 head. In October of this year, however, there were handled 13,904 head of cattle, against 12,877 head in October, 1897, an increase of 1,(27 head, and it is believed that before the year closes the losses in number of cattle handled will be fully overcome. The exhibit on sheep is not so favorable in the ten months, but 74,455 head being handled, against 85,868 head in the corresponding period of 1897; decrease this year, 11,413 head. In the ten months there were handled at the yards 26,096 head of horses and mules, against 25,298 in. the corresponding period of 1897; increase this year, 798 head. The oldest stock dealers at the yards express the opinion that the receipts the remaining two months of the year will be highly satisfactory, and they say that at no former period have matters moved along more satisfactorily at the yards than during the present year. The present management is making every effort to please shippers who come to this market, and the buyers as well, and as a result there is a steady increase in business. Through the entire year better prices have been paid in the Inuianapolis market than at any other Western market. nnfltiiesn of the Puvking Honsen. The summer packing season ended with Oet. 31, and this month the winter packing season has set in with unusual activity. In the eight months of the summer season the Indianapolis packing houses eclipsed all former records, killing 658,000 hogs, against 500,000 for the corresponding eight months of 1897. The table shows the comparison between this year 4uid last as to the business done by packers: March 1 to Oct, 31— 1898. 1897.

In the twelve months ending Oct. 31, there were packed at all points both summer and winter a total of 22,350.000, against 9,460,000 in the seasons of 1884. This exhibit is especially interesting as it shows the advance In summer killing operations of fifteen years, and at no packing point has the increase been proportionately larger than at Indianapolis, which now has four summer pafcking houses.

Bl Month with the Local Millers. The local flouring mills did the largest business in October than In any month for years. Their total capacity Is about 95.000 barrels a month, and in October they turned out 89,955 barrels, against 45,426 barrels In 1897; 51,005 barrels in 1896; 34,866 barrels in 1895 ; 68.047 barrels in 1894 : 72,170 barrels in 1893. and 87.779 barrels in 1892. In October of this year 16.407 more barrels of flour were turned out than in September. The output has been w’ell sold out, but not at as large profits as the millers had expected earlier in the season. The outlook for a good business this month is very favorable. October Inspections. In the months of October there were inspected at Indianapolis 233,800 bushels of wheat, against 367.200 in October. 1897. and 66.000 in October. 1896; corn. 112.000 bushels, against 461.400 bushels In October, 1897, and against 57.000 bushels in 1896; oats, 99.400 bushels, against 576.600 bushels in 1897, and against 61.000 bushels in 1896. ON HER MOTHER'S COMPLAINT Imlinnnpolis Couple Arrested at Louisville. Dispatches from Louisville and New Albany last night told of the arrest of Kben D. Broden and Mrs. Minnie Wilson, of this city. They were arrested on complaint of Mrs. Jacob Mathias, mother of Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. Wilson's father is a mail carrier. The man was arrested at Louisville and Mrs. Wilson at New Albany. The story as told in the dispatches is that the tw r o left this city four weeks ago. Mrs. Wilson’s husband is a traveling salesman. The couple first went to Chicago and then to Louisville. Mis. Wilson when she was arrested said she would beturn home with her mother. Cut by a Drunken Soldier. Newton Needy, of 31S East Vermont street, had the misfortune to meet a drunken soldier last night on East Washington street. The soldier quarreled with Needy and at last struck him in the face with a knife. The wound made was slight. The soldier escaped and Needy went home. Dr. Charles MeNaull was called and dressed the cut in Needy's cheek. Hiiughvlllc Man Hurt. The police were notified yesterday that John Gllek was fatally injured while trying to board a freight train at Gosport yesterday. Glick said he had a wife and tw r o children at Haughville. The patrolmen tried yesterday and last night to find the family, but were unsuccessful. Not Complimentary. Chicago Post. A New York youth who has been arrested for kissing a young woman of the same city has put forward the plea that it neve r could have happened If he hadn’t been intoxicated. When the young woman retires to the seclusion of her own room and figures out the inference to be drawn from this plea we venture to say that she will be sorry that she ever had him arrested.

THE NEW DIOCESE FUND REV. A. J. GRAHAM DISCI SSED IT AT CHRIST CHURCH LAST MGHT. Men Mentioned for the Riohoprlc—Division of the Endow* ment. Rev. A. J. Graham, of Christ Church, took for his morning text the collect for the day as follows: “Lord, we beseech Thee to keep Thy household the church in continual godliness; that through Thy protection it may be free from all adversities, and devoutly given to serve Thee in good wrcrks, to the glory of Thy name; through Jesus Christ, our Lord.” He said: “Ihe church is a household and the Lord is the head of it. We should pray the Lord to keep the household in godliness—godlikeness —and then do all we can to assist the Lord; otherwise we are religious ‘deadbeats,’ seeking sometning for nothing. Godlikeness is like the plain, faithful life of the Son of Man; it screens off adversities from tne church. Three adversities w hich the church encounters are: First, ignorance of her foundations and blessings; second, paralysis of activities, and third, bankruptcy of religious life and work. A church blessed with religious intelligence and activity will be given to all good works. "The church is in the world to save men, not to be saved by them. Christians do not rise to the measure of their opportunity. They have permitted the civil power to carry on most of tire humanitarian work while they are busy trying to see how little they can do and yet save their church. A church tliat simply supports itself cumbers the earth, let it die, lor it will die anyway, it is humiliating to ponder over the little pitiful methods to which many churches are compelled to resort to keep the wolf from the door. Cast away the idea thul the object of Christianity is to save the church and first let tile church, with its message and sacrament, save you. The future of this church will be its present, plus or minus what you peimit it to do for your souls.” DIOCESAN FINANCES. At the evening service Mr. Graham read the bishop's pastorai and then said: “I would touch now upon matters which closely concern us in inuiaua. Lor sonic time the division of this diocese lias been earnestly sought and sadly needed. One bishop .should oe able to care tor all existing parishes and missions, but he couiu not develop tne untouched ground. At the diocesan convention or rntaana held in Indianapolis lust June the following motion was passed and appears on Page 10 of the journal of lists: •' Resolved, That in the judgment of the convention tne time has come for the division of tne of Indiana. " 'Resolved, i hat in view oi sucli division the present convocational lints shall constitute the division or divisions ot said new uioccse or dioceses when tormed. " 'Resolved, Tnat a committee consisting of three clergymen and three laymen living within the limits of the proposed new diocese or dioceses be appointed by the bishop to raise by parochial and personal pledges a sum suiucient to endow tne episcopate in compliance with Article 5 ot tne constitution ot the General Convention, said pledges to be submitted to the bishop ot Indiana and to the trustees of the diocese for their approval. " Resolved, That on the formation of such hew diocese or dioceses there shall be a just and equitable division of the present endowment fund and all other property interests.’ “Apparently the gentlemen appointed were successful in raising an endowment in compliance with Article 5 of the general church, tor the General Convention by vote ratified the action of the Indiana Convention as to division. Ratification follows, does not preceded the leal thing. Furthermore, Article 5 of the constitution of the general church says: 'in case one diocese snail Lie divided into two or more dioceses the bishop of the diocese divided may elect the one to which he will be attached, and he shall thereupon become the bishop thereof.’ "Bishop White at once elected the northern third of Indiana. It would seem, therefore, that unless some special provisions have been made, in electing northern Indiana he at the same time resigned from this diocese. The northern diocese includes uli tnat portion of the State lying north of the south line of the following counties: Benton, White, Carroll, Howard, Grant, Blackford and Jay. It will be observed that the tnird section of the resolution referred to says 'tliat on the formation of such new diocese or dioceses there shall be a just and equitable division of the present endowment fund and all other property Interests.’ Such division of property must be made after the formation of tne new diocese; presupposes, if I rightly interpret the laws, that the primary convention of the new diocese has been called and organized. No officers of the diocese are at present empowered to make division of the property. That can be done only by the conventions of the dioceses or by committees specially authorized to do it. This proposed division is not so simple a matter as would at first appear. The endowment fund referred to is the fund for the support of the bishop. "On Page 66, conventional journal of 18518, this fund is said to amount to $64,619.14, as follows: Five houses and property, St. Joe and Pennsylvania streets $32,246.00 Property on Pennsylvania street, near Michigan street, formerly used as the bishop’s residence 25,000.00 Bills receivable 6,460.74 Furniture, carpets, etc 564.12 Cash on hand 4r ; .^s Making a total of $64,619.14 “We believe the $25,000 item should be about SIB,OOO, so real estate men say; not more than that. The fund would then stand, provided 'bills receivable’ are all good and furniture and carpels’ have not deteriorated, at $37,619.14. In dividing this fund three things are taken into account: First, is this fund in debt? Are there any claims against it? Second, what portion of the fund was contributed by the portion of the State known as the new diocese? Third, what is the present interest-bearing power of the fund? Other complications may arise, I do not care to say anything about the other properties of the diocese at this time.

"Granting that we have an endowment fund of $64,619.14, the $25,000 item is practically tied for a good many years, reducing our fund to $39,619.14. If, as is intimated, $9,000 will go to the north, we shall have an interest-bearing fund of round $30,000 toward our bishop’s support. This could not possibly net us over 5 per cent., affording $1,500 a year to episcopal support. It is quite certain that an equal sum would come from parishes and missions, and that $3,000 and a residence is, to my mind, the utmost we can offer our new bishop. That is a cut of S9OO, but it is inevitable unless large means are secured in some other way. In June, 1398, the treasurer reported that sl,402.22 (journal, Page 78) had been borrowed to make up episcopal salary, and it is probably true that at this date there is a net deht of nearly $2,000. There are a good many people who think that in justice to the incoming bishop and ourselves we should let a few months elapse between the exit of the old bishop and the entrance of the new. There seems to be no other practical course unless we can induce some persons to pay this $2,000 debt for us. In the interim the standing committee could easily arrange a series of missionary meetings by clergy and laymen which would keep up the Interest in the work. Facts confront ts, and debts should not be permitted to niie up and no obligations he assumed exce. t such as we can reasonably meet. "Probably no man in Indiana can be or ought to be elected bishop of this diocese. We want and sadly need a much more eligible man than can be found in our midst. We need a man whose name and piety and large heartedness are well known in the church. Many are already mentioned for tlie place, among them Bishop Groves, of the Platte: Rev. J. J. Faude, of Minneapolis; Dr. James 8. Stone, of Chicago, and Dr. R. H. MoKim. of Washington. All are good men. About the greatest blessing that could befall this diocese would be for the clergy and laity to meet in informal conference and agree upon a man and then go into convention and elect him upon the first ballot. We want unity of thought and purpose." l’ennuylvnnln Politics. Philadelphia Special in Chicago Post. Pennsylvania politics is rotten from center to circumference. In no other place in the Union outside of New' York city is there more open trading and barefaced treachery and bargaining than there is here. Everybody has the disease. It is looked upon as a legitimate part of the game of politics. Public conscience is dead. Colonel Guffey, chairman of the state Democratic committee. w r ho superseded Chairman Harrity, has been In Philadelphia for three or four days trying to find out what became of a fund of SIO,OOO he sent here to pay the poll tax of indigent Demo-

eratic voters. The men to whom the money was distributed are accused of sending the committees a wagon load of bogus names and bobus tax receipts, and of pocketing the money themselves. The incident has caused a great sensation in a local way. It suggests the probable fate of a large part of the $250,000 which Boss Croker sent through the State of New York to employ Republican voters to keep away from the polls. BOOKS OF THE TIME. Cyrano De Bergerac. Edmond Rostand's play is one of the productions that must be read both by those who wish to keep pace with strictly literary matters and those interested in the drama, for it belongs to both. Not all literary works put into dramatic form are capable of being presented upon the stage acceptably, and certainly the modern drama, so-called, is rarely of a high literary quality. Cyrano de Bergerac is an exception in both directions. That it is a success upon the stage has been ampiy demonstrated in Paris and is being newly proved in this country by Mr. Mansfield. That its merits are equally manifest to the reader in his library i9 shown by a perusal of the translation made by Gertrude Hall, and published In a dainty volume by the Doubleday & McClure Company (New York). No doubt something is lost in translation; there always is. In this case is lost the charm of the rhymed verse in which the original appears, Miss Hall giving only prose: possibly, too, something of the airy gayety of the hero's manner is absent, and there is an occasional forced phrase or ill-chosen word in translation; but. on the whole, the translator’s work is well done and serves to show the author’s literary and dramatic ability. The time of the story is 1640, the hero a roystering, boasting cavalier who performs prodigies of valor to no particular purpose for the most part but to excite the wonder of the multitude. Concealed by his swashbuckler manner, however, is the soul of a gentleman, and to those looking on at the drama it is made plain that this manner is assumed to hide his sensitiveness over his physical disfigurement, an enormous nose, which he believes to be in the way of his attainment of happiness and which causes the tragedy of his life. In the spirit of self-sacrifice he not only restrains himself while another man woos the woman he himself- secretly loves, but because she fancies this rival he helps him to win her. The first act opens In a theater, and a motley crowd assembles there, making a very animated scene. A great number of people are needed on the stage, but it is essentially a one-man play. A number of minor characters are well drawn, Ragueneau, a pasty cook who aspires to write poe.try. for instance, but De Bergerac is constantly the center of interest. From beginning to end the conversation is animated and the movement rapid. For stage presentation Miss Hall's translation, unnit, may be too long, but the interest of the reader is well sustained throughout, and when he lavs the book down it is with the conviction that not too much has been said in praise of M. Rostand’s production. Tlie Adventure* of Frnncoi#. Dr. Weir Mitchell shows his versatility in turning from "Hugh Wynne,” with its background of American history, to the period of the French revolution and depicting the life and adventures of a foundling, thief and juggler during that exciting period. He has not many characters in the book, giving great attention to but four, but these he brings out vividly. The tale is somewhat melodramatic, but is full of interest, more attractive in some respects than "Hugh Wynne,” for the subject is handled with a lighter touch. He does not enter the horrors of the revolution with the minuteness that, many fiction writers do who deal with that period, but he indicates them closely enough. The story is full of exciting adventure, and Francois, though a rather improbable character with his numerous gifts and accomplishments and his unconscious wickedness, is very attractive. Dr. Mitchell evidently knows Paris well and has studied his theme with great care. The “Marquis De Ste. Luce” is a well-drawn character, and the author’s professional knowledge is displayed in his study of "Despard’s” mental decay. “Toto.” Francois’s dog, Is a figure in the story that cannot be overlooked, and his death causes regret. Though the story is based on well-traveled ground, it is nevertheless out of the common and is Well worth the reading. Published by the Century Company.

Spanisli Rule In America. At the height of her power and prestige Spain contributed largely to the migration from Europe to America. To understand the nature of the colonial governments which she established on this continent it is necessary to understand something of events which, during a long period, had made the Spaniards fanatical, cruel and vindictive. The policy of Spain with reference to her American possessions was, in its essential features, determined by the circumstances which made the Spanish pation and its government what they had become. At the same time it is doubtless true that the cruelty and excesses of which the Indians of America were the victims were not due more to the Spanish government and court than to the unprincipled adventurers to whom, in many cases, was confided the task of conquering and settling America, The Spanish government was as bad as it could be, but its agents in America were still worse. These and kindred topics are treated in "The Establishment of Spanish Rule in America,” by Prof. Bernard Moses, of the University of California. The work treats in a broad and philospohical way of the causes and influences that made early Spanish rule in America what it was. The subject is well handled, the result being a valuable contribution to the history and politics of Spanish America. G. P. Putnam’s Sons. Chilhowee Hoys In Harness. Sarah E. Morrison hit upon a good name for her first juvenile story, "Chilhowee Boys,” and she has followed it up with three others, forming the Chilhowee series. The last one completing the series is ‘'Chilhowee Boys in Harness.” It shows how the boys, having finished their “schooling," start out in the world and make good, tnanlv men, and achieve success by adhering strictlv to right principles and conduct. "Chilhow’ee Boys in Harness” is an excellent specimen of a story for young people, and should be as popular with young readers as thu preceding ones of the series, Thomas Y. Crowell & Cos. The Itejnv* nation of >ll** Semaphore. r Hhis story, by Hal Godfrey, is an old conception carried out in a grotesque way. Two spinsters in a Ixmdon boarding house, struck by a remarkable advertisement, buy a bottle of genuine water from Ponce de Boon's fountain of youth. One of them breaks the bottle, and in her haste to save what she can swallows so much that she becomes a baby again, the result of an overdose. The consequences are embarrassing for her unmarried sister. The embarrassments growing out of this absurd situation, and including the sister’s experience in placing the infant at a baby farm, form the them of the story, which, notwithstanding its absurdity and its trenching on coarseness, is really amusing. B. C. Page & Cos. A liar Story for Boys. Warren Bee Goss, a popular writer of stories for boys, has anew one. "In the Navy; or. Father Against Son.” is a story of naval adventures in the civil war. The scenes are laid principally on the inland waters of Virginia and North Carolina, in that network of rivers, bays and canals which, leading far into the country, enabled blockade runners to carry supplies to the Confederacy. It is a spirited story, full of realistic war scenes and w**U calculated to please young readers. T. Y. Crowell & Cos. The Golfer’s Alphabet. A person deeply and passionately in love with golf might be interested and amused by "The Golfer’s Alphabet.” It consists of a collection of rhymes running from A to Z, such as "A is arithmetic, handy to know, when the score figures up to a hundred or so.” ”B is the bogey, whose luck is infernal. and happy Is he who can win from the coionel,” and so on through the alphabet. Each verse is illustrated in a grotesque way. and the illustrations are the best part of the book. Harper & Brothers. General History of the World. Generally, general histories of the world are failure*! on general principles. In the nature of things, o great a subject cannot be compressed within the compass of one or two volunmes, and the attempt to do so is apt to result in pressing the life out of it and leaving little except a mass of desiccated facts. However, such histories have their value as indexes* to events, if nothing more. "A General History of the World.” translated from the French of Victor Duruy, la one of the beat of the class. It la

divided into parts or periods, beginning with the ancient history of the East, embracing the Chinese and Mongols, the Indians and Egyptians, the Assyrians, Phoenicians, Hebrews, Medes and Persians. Its treatment of Greek and Roman history is so complete that the student desiring admission to any of our universities need not seek further for preparation in those branches. It give a brilliant and well-balanced account of the middle ages, and brings modern history down to the memorable year 1848. from which point it is brought down to date by Prof. E. A. Grosvenor. It is an excellent compilation of facts remarkably well condensed and clearly stated. T. V. Crowell tit Cos. Thnekerny’s Works. Harper & Brothers’ biographical edition of the complete works of W. M.
