I . Executive 1 Council.

The executive council of the International Typographical Union held an all-day session yesterday. It was at first expected to take up for consideration the troubles of the Chicago stereotypers, who, since the strike last summer, have never settled their grievances with the different papers, and the result is that, with two exceptions, there is not a union stereotyper at work on any of the papers in Chicago. This has not affected the other allied trades, but it is the purpose of the International Typographical Union to secure the reinstatement of the old men “by any peaceable method” that can be adopted. The discussion of this matter gave way, however, to the reception of a commit lee front the Uinta (O.) Typographical Union, which reported that the printers and t roprtetors of the Gazette of that city are unable to agree on a scale of measurements, and that a strike is now in progress. A committee was appointed to consult with both parties and attempt to bring about some settlement of the difficulty which will bo acceptable to both sides. In discussing the troubles of the Chicago stereotypers. Second Vice President J. G. Derflinger, representing tha. stereotypers in the executive council, said that as he was from New York, he was familiar with the short-lived difficulty the stereotypers had in that city about the time the war broke cut. According to his story the New York Journal arnounced last June that it intended to publish a regular Sunday evening edition, and the union was invited to tlx a scale for the work to be done on it. The matter was agitated for abort four weeks before the edition actually a >peared. and at the meeting of tftereotypors’ Union, No. 1. the radical element gained the upper hand and rushed through a resolution providing for a Sunday day of eight hours at >9. with overtime after eight hours at the rate of $1 an hour. The conservative element in the union then appointed a committee to wait on the managers of all the papers and advise them to continue to pay the. old scale for two weeks, with the understanding that at the end of that time some satisfactory arrangement would lie made with them. In conformity with this the union at its next meeting rescinded its former action and fixed the scale at $5 for six hours on Sundays, with $1 an hour for all overtime. This satisfied all the managers and the same scale is now in force on all but one paper in the city. Mr. Derfilnger, as well as other officers of the union, has always held that the first action of the union was “outrageous ” and that it had its effect on the Chicago papers. It will he represented to the Chicago papers, however, that the stereotypers. as well as all the other allied unions, ar conservative bodies, and that the International Typographical Union will not allow any hranoh of its membership to be unjust in its demands, and it is hoped that a wav will he devised to settle the Chicago trouble at or.ce.

LEGISLATURE THIS WEEK * SENATORIAL ELECTION WII.I, UK OM.I lillEAli IX THE HOt TINE. Hills nn t minty anil Township Business anil Education Will lie Particularly Watched. * The event of the greatest Importance to the general public in this week’s session of the Legislature will be the formal election of United Slates senator. The Senate has already provided for the vote by resolution fixing the time for Tuesday morning at 10:30. A similar resolution was offered in the House, but was declared out of order on the grounds that the federal law provided for the election of senator. It <s probable that the nomination in the House will be held about th“ same time as that tixed by the Senate. The vote will be taken in both branches, and on Wednesday at noon the two branches will meet in joint session tind the journals of both houses will be read and the election declared. After this proceeding, Mr. Beveridge will make his address of acceptance. With this break, the week is expected to be one of work in the House. County and tow nship business and educational bills will be particularly watched. Bills relating to county and township business now in the House number thirty-two, while those bills relating to education number twelve. A large proportion of the members of the lower branch are or have been school teachers, and these members are closely w’atching bills on school subjects. The election of county superintendents will probably cause a division in the House. Mr. Bonham recently introduced a bill which provides for the election of county superintendents by the trustees and the presidents of the school boards of all incorporated towns and cities within the county. One of the many who believe in the election of county superintendents by the direct vote of the people is Mr. Herrold, of Laporte county. He will probably propose an amendment by which the superintendents will be elected by a direct vote. Mr. Herrold witnessed the practical working of such a law in Illinois and found that it was much more satisfactory than the method now followed in this State. He says that the claim that superintendents will build up a i>olitieal machine through the school teachers of the county is not well taken, as there is much less danger of such a thing being done when the superintendents will have to answer to the entire people than if they were answerable to only a few. There is much feeling in regard to the appropriations for colleges, and a movement is on foot among some of the members to .combine the three colleges now receiving state aid, if it can he done, and make one large Indiana State University. Thus far the subject has not been exhaustively taken up, and it has reached no stage farther than discussion. Some of the members who favor such a proposition have suggested that the buildings of the institutions not used could be made into state hospitals at much less expense than the erection of new institutions. The charge of discrimination in regard to the issuing of certificates to teachers is freely made, and it will be brought up at the proper time. NO IDEAL ELECTION BILL. The bills bearing on elections are being closely watched, and thus far no measure haa been introduced which meets general approval regarding primary elections. The bill by Mr. Scott, of Lawrence, provides for the holding of primary elections in detail. Under this bill, primary elections are to be held under the same laws as the general elections, and any offenses denounced by the general law apply to the primary election. In each precinct there shall be one inspector, two judges and two clerks who shall be appointed by the authorized committee of the party which holds the primary. The officers of the primary election shall have the same power and authority as like olficers in general elections. The governing committee of the party desiring the primary shall give public notice of the primary at least thirty days before the date for the primary election, and those who will be candidates before the primary shall give notice at least ten days lefore the primary election. The vote shall be canvassed by the inspectors in the same manner and in the same time as is now prescribed for the general elections. The expenses of the primary are to be borne by the party holding it, and in this feature is the objection raised, as it is believed that it will prove too expensive for either party or the candidate of a party to take it up. Both parties are pledged to a new primary election law, but thus far no one presented meets with general approval. The creation of new boards and officers is causing some alarm, as thirteen hills with this in view have thus far been presented. An old familiar friend which has appeared before this time at former sessions, and which is strangely missing thus far in the present one, is an act for the extermination of the Russian thistle. It is expected daily row. Fish laws and amendments will be duly considered, as there is a general disposition to make them more liberal than those now on the statutes. Election machines have made their appearance and have been placed on exhibition. There is a disposition not to pass the bill by Mr. Herrold, which requires candidates to file itemized expenses of their election with the clerk of courts, on the grounds that such a law would be evaded. The bill as drawn provides that candidates shall n.ake an itemized statement of all expenditures by themselves or In their behalf by friends, all money contributed as well as all spent for food or drinks or amusement by candidate or friends. The penalty provided is a line of from $25 to SSOO and forfeiture of office.

SAFES FOB SCHOOL CHILDREN. One Way Trustee* Spend the Taxpayers* Money. Aeording to reports received concerning “freak" bills about to bo Introduced into the General Assembly, it wofild seem that there is to be a race between the county and township reformers and the township trustees throughout the State to decide whether the former can save money fast enough to keep pace with the new schemes evolved by the trustees on which to spend money. Senator Patten's proposed bill to allow trustees to equip the homes of school children living at points remote from the sehoolhouses with telephones, which will take the place of text-books in teaching the rising generation, has been shown to be a good thing for the telephone manufacturers, who will no doubt cherish the memory of the senator from Jackson and Washington counties. The opi>ortunities which will he placed within the-reach of township trustees by the Patten bill can only be properly appreciated when compared with another measure, as jet indefinite in shape, which will emanate from Wells county as a result of a peculiar situation in that county. Some time ago two township trustees of Wells county became filled with a haunting fear that the text-books used by the school children might ho destroyed by fire soma time and that it was their duty to provide against such a catastrophe. Accordingly, both trustees conferred with the manufacturers of "fire proof safes,” who agreed to furnish each pupil with a “safe" in which all books could be placed each night to protect them from loss by tire, for the modest sum of sl9 each. Both trustees agreed to the proposition, and several hundred of the. safes were bought and put to use in the schools and the bills were paid out of the township levy. It now develops that the boxes were really worth about $1.50 at the highest figure, being made altogether of cast iron and In no sense fire proof. Many of the citizens of the county feci that the taxpayers who paid the bills were mulcted to an eronmous extent and that someone made an Immense profit through the sale of the “safes.” This feeling has driven many heretofore conservative, people to the supjiort of the work of the county and township reform commission, while another faction adheres to the trustees, and will, it is said. Introduce a hill to legalize such acts of township trustees by enlarging their powers in the matter of governing the township schools. Several of the senators who discussed the anticipated measure last night said it would now Vie In order for some constituency to request the introduction of a bill authorizing the purchase of horseless carriages for the use of pupils in the country districts. Fountain Futility Lawyer* Object. * Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COVINGTON. Ind.. Jan. 14.—The Fountain county bar is wrought up over the proposed "tacking on" of Benton county to the

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, JANUARY 16, 1899.

Twenty-first judicial circuit. At a meeting of the bar of Covington, held at the office of Lucas Nebeker on Jan. 13, Hon. S. F. Wood was on motion selected chairman and Lucas Nebeker secretary. It was moved, seconded and carried that Charles M. McCabe, Lucas Nebeker and Fred Boord constitute a committee to prepare and submit to the meeting a proper resolution and other protest against the proposed annexation of Benton county to the Twenty-first judicial circuit. The committee, after consultation, reported to the meeting the following resolution, w-hieh, on motion, was unanimously adopted; “Resolved, That it is the sense of the bar of Covington, Fountain county, that a certain bill introduced in the Mouse whereby it is proposed to detach Benton county from the Thirtieth circuit and to annex the same to the Twenty-first circuit, and to authorize Boards of Commissioners to make allowances increasing the salary of the judge ought to be defeated, and should not become a law; that we object and protest against the passage of said bill upon the following grounds: “First—Because it is a notorious fact that said movement arose out of a quarrel between the bar of Benton county and the judge of the Thirtieth circuit. “Second—Because the Twenty-first and Thirtieth circuits are now of about equal size as to voting population, as shown by the returns of the last general election, whereas upon said change being made the proposed circuit, composed of Fountain, Warren and Benton counties, would be double the size of said proposed circuit composed of Jasper and Newton counties, both as to voting population and business. In support of the foregoing objection we cite the following facts: The vote in the Thirtieth circuit was: Jasper, 3.135; Newton, 2,783; Benton, 3.12 G; total, 9.044. The vote in the Twenty-first circuit was: Warren, 2,703; Fountain. 5,786; total, 8,499; difference, 555. The Thirtieth circuit, with Benton detached, would have 5,808. The Twenty-first circuit, with Benton annexed, would have 11.615; difference. 5,807. “Third—Because we regard the proposition to vest in Boards of Commissioners the power to determine, control and make appropriations for the salary of circuit judges, in whole or in part, or to any extent, with or without a petition of twenty, or any other number of persons, as being wrong in principle and dangerous and demoralizing in practice and effect.” Another committee was appointed to prepare a bill to present to the Legislature to create a separate circuit for Fountain county. This bill will be placed in the hands of the county’s representative, and if it. does not meet with favor Fountain will ask to lie attached to Montgomery or some other county nearer its class. There is a general feeling here against having this circuit enlarged, but it has been suggested that Warren might be joined to Benton, thereby leaving Fountain a circuit within itself. COMMISSION ROW SALES MORE GOODS DISPOSED OF IX' IS9H, BUT AT SMALL PROFITS. ■ • Few of tlie Merchants Made Money— The Seareity of Apples. • ♦ Within the last ten years the number of commission houses which handle fruits and vegetables have Increased from fourteen to thirty-two, yet all seem to be thriving. One commission merchant on Saturday, when asked how his business in 1898 compared with 1897, said he sold 50 per cent, more goods than in 1897, but did not make much money, so sharply were prices cut late in the year on the articles they usually make the most money on. In potatoes, for instance, prices never ruled lower than for several months past. This is quite an item when it is taken into consideration that there were shipped here from Missouri, Nebaska, Michigan and other Western and Northwestern States in the year 1898 448,438 bushels of Irish potatoes. Another commission merchant said he had sold about 20 per cent, more goods and made about 10 per cent, more money by watching corners closely than in 1897. A third said he had sold 15 per cent, more goods than in 1597 and had barely come out even. On this market in 1898 there were sold 125,000 barrels of apples, and at higher prices than in either of the last four years, yet but little money has been made on them, as a large per cent, of the apples were purchased outright, as apples were so scarce all over the country that it was not necessary to ship them to commission merchants to realize ready money on them. Cabbages are another vegetable largely dealt in, and, like potatoes, have been selling; unusually lo.w. It is stated that fully 200 carloads of cabbage are sold annually on this market, but the supply has been so large that low prices prevailed. Celery is another article that the commission houses handle in large quantities, and on this they have made some money. Last year the peach crop was so much of a failure that in 1898 not more than half as many carloads were handled as in 1897, and so much of tie stock was inferior that little money was realized. In handling berries in their season, and cherries arid plums, the commission men did quite well, as the fruit was good and sold well, owing to the scarcity of peaches. From the orange crop Jesuits are not as good as usual. Summing up the matter, one of the oldest commission merchants said: “In the year 1898 the commission men did more business, so far as volume is concerned, than in any year since 1892, but prices were: cut so close and the expenses so increased through handling the increased bulk, that, with but two or three exceptions, the commission merchants on South Delaware and East Maryland streets made but little money, several barely coming out even. Where the commission houses handled butter and eggs as well, they closed the year with better results than those who confine their business chiefly to fruits and vegetables.”

HOBO HOTEL BUSINESS. Poliee Make Descent on West Mnry-lund-Street Place*. Sergeant Hyland and Patrolmen Warren and Johnson slated fourteen men at the police station yesterday in this style: “Offense—vag; occupation—hobo; resideuce—nowhere." The men were arrested in a house at No. 420 West Maryland street. A woman who lives there had started a rival "hobo hotel” to Reed's “gospel mission," just across the street. She told the policemen that she had rented a room to four men, hut she knew from the babble of many voices that they must have called their friends in to share their home. The woman lost sight of the profits In the mission business and was glad to get rid of her lodgers. She said she was afraid to go up into the room to tell the men to be quiet. All Saturday night the men had “rushed the can" and enjoyed themselves, and when the policemen entered the room, battling against the horrible odor, they found the four men who had rented the room had taken it as their right to occupy the bed. and their guests were stretched out on the floor. The “gospel mission" across the street took police attention in the afternoon. Neighbors complained of a crowd of tramps there. Patrolmen Bray. Holtz and latrsh arrested eight men who had gathered from all over the country. MANGLED UNDER A TRAIN. linear Trinhoem, of the Circle Park Hotel, Killed. Oscar Trinhoem, an employe of the Circle Park Hotel, was mangled b>- a train at the Madison-avenue crossing of the J., M. & I. Railroad at 4 o’clock yesterday morning, and died two hours later at St. Vincent's Infirmary without regaining consciousness. He left the hotel and caught the out-bound J., M. & I. train at 3:30 o'clock, as was his habit. He tried to get off at Madison avenue to walk to his home, at No. 246 Fast Morris street. He fell under the wheels. John Gavin, flagman, found him lying b>- the track. He was put on an engine and taken to South street and then moved on a stretcher to the infirmary. He was twenty-three years old and had a wife and one child. The family came here a year ago from Columbus, Neb. “Kid” l.nther* in n Coni Ynril. Samuel Mitchell, a colored night watchman at Balke & Krauss's coal yard, reported to the police that he had caught "Kid" Lathers, also colored, stealing coal early j'esterdaj' morning and that the young man had attacked him with a knife, cutting his face. Lathers escaped.

INEQUALITIES OF LIFE THAT’S WHAT MAKES LIFE WORTH LIVING, SAYS MR. MILHIRX. Refer* in Hi* Sermon to the Victory of Mr. Beveridge—At V. M. C. A. ♦ Bev. J. A. Milburn, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, had for his topic at yesterday morning s service "The Inequalities of Life.” In the course of his remarks Mr. Milburn said: “It is one of the primary postulates of the Declaration of Independence that all men are equal. That is a beautiful thing, a pretty theory, but likewise a great fiction. The great conspicuous fact of life is not the equality, but the inequality of men and the conditions which begot them. Men differ in their talents and also in their fortunes, that in some subtle way determines their destiny, or even if men were equal by talent and endowment, they are made unequal by fortune. An illustration of this we find in the election to the high office of United States senator of our gifted young townsman. It is certainly an admirable election and one which shows a fine sense of the discrimination on the part of the legislators who have bestowed this high honor upon him. Here fortune comes to crown a talent on the very threshold of its career—comes to crown early manhood with distinction. In New York, however, there is a lawyer standing on the very heights of his profession; a stalwart intellect and an illustrious jurist; one of the most commanding forces at the American bar, and yet fortune withheld distinction from this man until after his fiftieth year. For fifty years and over his orbit was provincial, and not until almost his fifty-fifth year did fortune bestow' upon him the honor and the emoluments that his talents justly deserved. “Many instances might he given in corroboration of life's inequalities. We see it in the industrial world, where we behold on the one hand the few rich and the many poor. We behold It in this political world, w-hose concerns in every city, county and State in the Nation are managed by an oligarchy that we call the political machine. We call our country a political democracy. So it is. 1 suppose, ultimately, but for all practical purposes we arc an oligarchy. The few lead us, direct us, build our platforms and tell us the men for whom w f e should vote, and we go and do as they bid us. “Social life, too, is. as we all know, made up of an infinite variation of inequalities. We are all socially differentiated. Some belong to what is called the upper class, some to the middle class, some to what is called the louver class and some to no class at all—the pariahs and outcasts of society. We, as well as the English nation, have our social barbarians, our social Philistines and a class summed up in the term the common people. We protest, the most of us, at certain moments against these inequalities. We protest against industrial inequality, the rule of the rich; against political inequality, or the rule of the politician; against social inequality, or the rule of the aristocrat. There are moments when we all sympathize with the temper of the socialist who wants to reglmentalize the human race; to make all men wear a common uniform, do a common work and live a common life. VIRTUES. OF INEQUALITY. “This protest against life’s inequalities, however, I believe to be quite illogical. Inoquajity has its virtues and does a beneficent work. First of all it makes life picturesque. This world would be a very uninteresting world if all men were equally rich; if all men thought the same thoughts; if all men held the same creed; if all men maintained the same political convictions; If all men went to the same church, and if all men lived the same life. Shakspeara is interesting as a unique force, but 70,000,000 Shaksjjeares In the United States would, I imagine, make a rather uninteresting America. John Calvin was a great pow-er, but were we all Calvins, 1 fear the world would be rather a heavy and oppressive world to live in. Wordsworth was a lovely singer, but were we all chanting odes on immortality the Wordsworthian charcter would lose Its dignity, Its splendor and its charm. The beauty of a forest lies in the variations of its trees; the beauty of a city lies in the variations of its architecture, and the beauty of humanity lies in the variations of its gifts, talents, tastes and endowments—in other words, in its inequalities; and it is these inequalities in their infinite eombinaton and permutations that constitute the charm and picturesqueness of the human world. And further let me say that the inequalities of lifework for the world’s betterment and enrichment. “We are told of a certain type of social philosophy that contends that the strong men are getting stronger and the weak men are getting weaker; that the rich men are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. The first half of both of these propositions is altogether true. The strong are getting stronger. Authority and power are every day becoming more centralized and the rich are getting richer. The vast wealth of such men as Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Gould and Armour of this country, and Sir Thomas Lipton and the Armstrongs of England are anew phenomena in the economic world; but, while it is true that the rich are growing richer, it is a great mistake to assume that the inequality that comes from the disparity of wealth is fatal to the interests of the general wellbeing of society. The forces of life are so skillfully articulated that the strength of each man becomes the strength of ail. The truth of the matter is the redemption of humanity is written very largely in the biographies of the world’s great men. It is the few rich men that have made the world rich; it is the few wise men that have made the world wise; it is the few noble men that have made the world noble; it is the few righteous men that have made the world righteous; the few great spiritual seers like Socrates, Plato, Buddha, Spinoza, Kant, Emerson, Carlyle. St. Paul and the Prophet of Nazareth that have inducted humanity into the realm of tho beatific vision.”

AT THE Y. M. C. A. Rev. 11. R. I.non* Draws n Lesson from Peter's Denial. T. A. Hildreth, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., is doing what ho can to make the Sunday afternoon meetings for young men as attractive as possible. An orchestra, under the leadership of John Harden, has been organized, and steps are being taken for the formation of a male chorus of twen-ty-five voices to lead the singing. The meetings are held in the gymnasium each Sunday at 3:43 o’clock p. m. Since the building was remodeled and the meetings have been revived interest in them seems to be increasing. There were perhaps 200 present yesterday afternoon. Rev. D. R. Lucas made a plain talk on the subject, "Peter Wept Bitterly." Next Sunday afternoon the meeting will bo conducted under the leadership cf members of the Yale Missionary Band, and it is anticipated that there will he a large gathering. Mr. Ilildreth is anxious to hear from young men who desire to become associated with either the chorus or the orchestra. Before the address by Dr. Lucas yesterday Mr. Hildreth read from. Luke xxii the account of Peter's denial of Christ when he was on trial just before the crucifixion. When Jesus had been taken in the garden He had warned Peter that he would deny the Savior thrice before the cock crew. While the trial was progressing three accused him of being one of Christ’s disciples, one saying that he was Galilean, "thy speech betrays three.” Peter denied that he knew Christ. The cock crew. Then Peter remembered. He went out and wept bitterlj' after Jesus rebuked him by a look. Dr. Lucas drew some practical lessons from the story. "How any one can contrast Christ with His disciples." said he, “and not recognize and accept the divinity of His character I cannot understand. Here was Peter, who had been associated with Christ for three jears, the every-day, faltering, developing man. On the other hand, wo see the powerful, divine, life-giving man. Since Jesus came into the world every man’s life has been in some way connected with His. Peter's whole life and destiny were changed by his contact with Christ. I,et any man know Christ in the real sense, and you will find that man can never be the same; he is changed, transformed; he lives for heaven instead of earth. When it is forgotten that Jngersoll was once candidate for Governor of Illinois, that he made a great speech nominating Blaine, history will record his name because he came in contact with His name, in conflict with Jesus. There are some lessons to be drawn from this gospel we have heard. A look may be the greatest rebuke. Jesus looked upon Peter. He said not a word. But the very fountain of Peter’s soul was stirred and he went out and wept bitterly. Another thing: We are

bound to be recognized if we are friends of Jesus. Even the little maid said: ‘Here is one of His disciples.’ Sometimes 1 think perhaps we are too severe in judging and condemning Peter. He was' brave. When tho high priest's servant laid hands cm Jesus, Peter drew his sword amt smote off his ear. Peter did not understand Christ's mission. Peter was willing to fight. If he had had a chance to show his love for Jesus by fighting I believe he would have done so, but he did not want to die without a chance to fight. You can tell by a man’s language whether he is a friend of Jesus. Recently 1 observed a stranger. I thought he looked as though he were a Christian gentleman, and i wanted to know him. J overheard him remark: ‘This is a devilish line day.’ His speech betrayed him. There is a language that the friends of Jesiis sj>eak which is always understood. We cannot follow Jesus afar off. Peter said: ‘1 will not desert Jesus utterly, but will follow Him in the distance.’ Some men say they helieve in religion, but do not think they need to come into the church; say they will be righteous secretly. They cannot do it. Peter tried it. He failed. Jesus said: ‘He that is not for me is against me.’ We find. too. from this history that sorrow leads to Christ. 1 will not attempt to define tp you this afternoon the philosophy of joy and sorrow. Solve it for yourselves if you can. When a man is sad he wants to be alone. When joy comes he seeks companionship. Yesterday the headlines in the papers said: 'A Quiet Day in Washington.’ Nelson Dingley was dead. The city was hushed. Had news come of some great victory of right and justice the city would have been in tumults of joy. “The eoek crew. The time had been fulfilled. There is a set time in every man's life when he has to make the choice that settles his destiny. Sometimes he does not know it until afterward. Perhaps the cock crew for you since you came into this hall. Memory abides with us always. When the cock crew Peter remembered what the Lord had said. Our lives should he filled with good, sweet and hallowed memories.” TOMLINSON HALL REVIVAL. Rev. J. S. Grant, Christian C'hnreh Evangelist. Regina n Series. The first of a series of evangelical gospel meetings that are to be held at Tomlinson Hall this week occurred last night, Rev. James S. Grant, state evangelist of the Christian Church, conducting it. There was a large attendance. It was announced that at the meeting to-night various ministers of the Christian Church of the city would assist. Music was rendered last night by a largo choir under the direction of Mr. Allison. The sermon was preached by I)r. Grant, who was introduced by John Crowe Fullenwider. As Tomlinson Hall is engaged for other purposes next week the meetings will be transferred after this week to some other place to be selected later. “Salvation” was the topic selected by Dr. Grant, based on the text: “For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever would believe on Him might not perish, but have everlasting life,” John iii, 15-16. God's plan of salvation, he said, was prompted by His infinite Jove, planned by His wisdom and executed by His power. “God ‘so’ loved the world—l want to emphasize the adverb,” said he.. “This may differ from the old idea that God loved only those He pleased and favored those He pleased. It was because of His love lor all that He gave His Son. Without infinite wisdom God could not have framed the plan of salvation that is so adapted that it meets every man’s necessity. None stands so high nor so low but it is adapted to his necessity. After love and wisdom to plan, all heaven’s power was put forth to execute the plan His infinite love prompted and His infinite wisdom planned. The average theological idea is that Jesus died to satisfy God's wrath and that in His deatn God was avenged on a wicked world. Gel does not love the world because Jesus died, but Jesus died because God ‘so’ loved the world. “The life of Christ was a triumph over sin. His blood atoned for sin an^.His resurrection destroyed sin. His example is intended to show that we, too, can live a righteous life if we will—there is the trouble —it is our will power. Christ exclaimed when gazing down on Jerusalem, that He would have gathered His children ’as a hen gathereth her chicks,’ but they would not. That tells the whole story of why mtn arc not gathered unto God—because they will not. You see a man walking along the street stop and go behind a screen where, pet naps, you hear the tinkle of glasses. Ask him why he entered and he will reply: ‘iJecause 1 wanted to, sir.’ See another man enter a great cathedral or church and ask him ihe same question and he replies: ’Because I wanted to, sir.’ There is no difference between the answers, so far as incentive is concerned. Both ’wanted to.’ ” The minister spoke of Christ’s great temptations and showed how the devil came to Him thrice, once in the wilderness, after he had fasted forty days, to tempt him to command that stones become biead, if He were indeed the Son of God, when Jesus replied, “It is written, man shall not live by bread alone.” Agjiin, on the pinnacle of the temple the devil tempted Christ to cast himself down if he were indeed the Son of God, as it was written “He will give His angels charge over thee,” when Christ replied, “It is written thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God,” and again, when the devil showed Him the kingdoms of the world, and promised to give them to Him if He would but fall down and worship him, Christ was ready with yet another “it is written.” “You and I cannot do better in resisting temptation,” said the preacher, “than to have our hearts full of quotations to put at him. The life of Christ was a perfect triumph over sin, teaching that you can do right if you will. When a man comes to me and says that he cannot do right, 1 say that he is deceiving himself or allowing the devil to deceive him. I do not know much about the atonement, because God has not told me much about it. Separated into its parts the word means ‘at-one-ment,’ at one with God. All nature sings that every thing is being sacrificed for man’s good. The beautiful field of wheat falls before the reaper. Golden, luscious fruit bleeds that man may have sustenance. I confide in one thing—some way or other Jesus died, and died to save sinful men. If the word of God is treated fairly as other things are treated, it will defend itself. I do not think that it is the duty of the average preacher to defend the w’ord. I am not begging the question. 1 am talking of it as 1 must of most things. What man knows all about himself? “ ‘Whosoever belleveth might have everlasting life.’ After all, salvation depends on a full concession of mind and heart. God may have love and wisdom and power unutterable, inconceivable, but it lies in your power to thwart that love, that wisdom and that power. The whole idea of salvation is predicated upon the belief of the man to whom. the plan is preached. No man has faith unless he shows it by his life—a faith that does not stop with mere assent of mind, but that reaches out for the fallen.”

PEOPLE’S EXCISES. ite-v. Mr. Smith Breaches from Pnrnble of the Supper. Rev. Geo. M. Smith, pastor of the Hallplace M. E. Church, preached last night on “Parable of the Great Supper,” St. Luke xiv, 16-34.” “There is perhaps no more wickedness in Indianapolis than in other great cities,” said he in part, “but if the angel of death should pass over this city and sweep into the grave all the careless and prayerless and then come back and sweep into eternity all the intemperate and profane, and then return and leave only those who are truly devoted to Christ, what desolation there would be in many a home and on many a street. We do not know, God only knows the hundreds who are churchless and Christ less. While the angel of death delays and the hand of justice trembles soon to fall in awful vengeance, Christ in pitying love says "Come unto me and be ye saved ■ . nets oi the earth, for lam God and there is none else.’ ‘And they all, with one consent, begin to make excuse.’ There arc two facts which make the excuses of the parable very absurd. First, the great feasts at that time were given in the evening, and second, the invitations were given on the previous day, so those who desired to attend could arrange accordingly. The excuse of the man who had bought the piece of land as well as the excuse of the one who had bought five yoke of oxen, is made more absurd by the fad that he declares he had made the purchase. The time to have gone to see the land and prove the oxen was before the purchase was made. The third man had married a wife and therefore ‘could not come.’ If the invitation had been to a funeral or a dry lecture the excuse would have been more valid, but we cannot imagine a more appropriate place to which a newly married couple could go than to a feast. These excuses, absurd as they are, are on a par with the excuses which are keeping people out of the kingdom of Christ to-day. There are many who insist that the reason they are not in the church is because there are hypocrites there. I know several persons who make a great deal of this excuse who are both intemperate and profane. Before a person claims to be too good to he in the visible church of Christ he should be as pure as an angel and as spotless as the immaculate Son of God. Otherwise he is himseif a hypocrite. Some of the most abominable hypocrites that walk the earth are outside the church.”

A DAY WITHOUT TIDINGS * MR. TAGGART AVI RES MANY I’OHTS FOR NEWS OF THE PAI L JONES. Tug Lenve* Pensacola to Search—Revenue Cutter May Assist—Mayor Will Leave To-Day, Yesterday passed without any reassuring word to comfort those who are waiting so anxiously to hear the fato of the naphtha launch Paul Jones, on board of which is Miss Florenco Taggart, eldest daughter of the mayor. The gracious, lovely young woman had so many friends and acquaintances in the city that this, together with the wide acquaintance and the prominence of her father, seemed to make half of the city akin in its concern for the welfare of the little yacht, and in sympathy for Mr. and Mrs. Taggart. Early yesterday morning the mayor called the telegraph companies to his assistance, and they sent messages to every point that could be reached on the west coast of Florida and the southern coast of Alabama and Louisiana, but the reply was the same from every point, no tidings from the boat. The mayor ascertained that the E. E. Simpson, one of the fastest and stanchest tugs at Pensacola, had been dispatched during the day to make a thorough search of the inlets in tha* vicinity in the hope that the vessel may have put in somewhere along the coast to escape the fury of the gale. The tug had not returned by midnight, and it is hardly probable anything definite will be known until to-day or to-morrow. The west coast of Florida is so sparsely settled and with so little of maritime activity that even if the launch has put in somewhere for shelter it may be a day or two before its passengers can communicate with ther relatives in the North, and on this the relatives are hanging their hopes. Mr. Taggart communicated with Seantor Fairbanks at Washington, and asked if he could suggest any further means of ascertaining the fate of the Paul Jones. Mr. Fairbanks promptly replied that he would use all his infiuence with the Treasury Department to obtain a search of the western Florida, waters by one of the revenue cutters stationed along the coast. Mr. Taggart will leave this afternoon for Pensacola unless word of the launch's safety is had by this morning. His family is bearing up bravely under tho great strain which was put upon them by the intelligence of the night before. No word has been received of the party on board the Paul Jones since Jan. 3, when it left the mouth of the Mississippi river, ninety miles below New Orleans. The lighthouse observer there reported a launch which tallied with the description of the Paul Jones. The vessel, it is said, laid up three days there on account of the storm. Information from Louisville, where the owner of the boat lives, is that there were only four passengers, Col. Harry Yocum find daughter, of St. Louis, Miss Woodland, of Chicago, Miss Taggart, of Indianapolis, and a crew of four men. The vessel is referred to in the dispatches both as a launch and a private yacht. It was sixtyfive feet long and ten feet wide, and was one of the finest pleasure yachts of its size in the country. It was handsomely furnished and was built several months ago by a Louisville company. Lawrence Jones, the owner of it, loaned it to his friend, Colonel Yocum, for the trip. Mr. Jones paid slß,uoo

for it. The pilot who took the vessel from Louisville to New Orleans has returned to Louisville, having transferred his post at New Orleans to another pilot, who was to steer the party around the gulf. Miss Margery Woodland, one of Miss Taggart’s school friends, who was on tho vessel, is the daughter of George Woodland, vice president of the Prairie State National Bank, of Chicago, and lives at No. 355 Oakwood boulevard, in that city. She is twenty years old. The party started down the river from Louisville Dec. 8,” said her father yesterday. "They expected to get to Bel Air Jan. 15. The last letter received from my daughter was dated New Orleans, Dec. 31. They were then lying in a fog and waiting for clear weather to continue their journey. From all I have heard I do not give up hope for their safety. I think possibly that the boat has put in to one of the many small ports or bayous to weather out the gale, and that they are too far from a telegraph station to communicate with us. My daughter has been away from home about six weeks. She is a member of St. Mark's Episcopal Church.” Mr Woodland received a telegram late last night from the owner of the boat, Lawrence Jones, o" Louisville, Ky., saying every effort was being made to trace the boat. Mr. Jones stated that he was sending messages to every coast town betvoen New Orleans and Pensacola, and that an ocean tug had started out from New Orleans to explore every bay and inlet. “The chances are all in favor of the boat being afloat,” said Mr. Woodland, after receiving the telegram. “It was built for an ocean yacht, and was a stanch though not a large craft. It would not be surprising if nothing were heard for days, even a week. Not till that time has passed will I believe that the boat is lost. The intention was to keep close to the coast. It is possible Unit an exploration of some inlet or river lias caused the rej>ort of disaster.” Colonel Yocum, in charge of the boat, is president of the Yocum & Kacer Manufacturing Company, at No. South Eighth street, St. Louis. Colonel Yocum and his daughter, Miss Florence, left St. lx>uis Dec. 6 for Ixmisvillo, where they were joined by Miss Woodland and Miss Taggart and there went on board the boat. They left Ixmisvilie a few days later for the South. The cruise of the Paul Jones was to have lasted until next June, according to a dispatch from St. Louis. From New Orleans the yacht was to go to Mobile and thence to Clearwater, Fla., where the party was to spend some time at Mr. Yocum’s cottage, which he erected during the last summer. There Mr. Paul Jones was to have joined them. The plan was then to proceed to Key' West, Havana and encircle Cuba before their return, visiting Porto Rican waters also. Deck-hand John Barry and Engineer Badgley were the only two members of the crew of four known in Louisville. A telegram from Mobile. Ala., late last night said: “There are no new particulars to be obtained regarding the reported loss of the yacht Paul Jones. Tugs have been aertt out of Southern ports, and all shipping people have been requested to keep a lookout for the missing boat, but no tidings have as yet been received. Vessels arriving report that severe gales have been blowing for the last few' days on the gulf. They say tho winds have been very strong for several weeks. Every moans is being taken to find some irace of the yacht.” A twenty horse-power gasoline engine in the center of the Paul Jones furnished the power to turn the single screw propeller in the rear. Fuel for 1,200 miles was carried. The interior of the four cozy cabins was finished in mahogany and plate-glass mirrors, and these were changed to sleeping rooms, much as a sleeping ear is changed from a coach to a sleeper at night. The fire lines of the hull and unusual powerful engine and screw made this yacht as speedy and seaworthy as it was possible to construct. When ihe yacht left Louisville a quick trip to Now Orleans was expected, and would have been made had all gone well. However, it sustained a number of accidents which held it up at various points along tho way. 11l luck seemed to follow it persistently. While the boat lay at Elizabethtown, 111., one night a fire broke out in the gasoline room about 12 o’clock while all were asleep. One of tho crew w'as awakened hy tho smoke, and succeeded in arousing all on hoard. The flames were only extinguished after a hard fight. This detained the boat considerably over time. A short distance below Memphis the boat’s machinery became disabled and it was forced to tie up quite a length of time. There were also one or two other minor accidents before the Crescent City was reached. In addition to all this. Colonel Yocum had much trouble with his pilots. I'nion Veteran League Elects Officers.
