MtAtlcn to drink, but I am still alive, and a nan can now refuE to lower his manhood in Texas with as much safety as anywhere elae. HOW BOYS DRINK. "Boys who have no dsire to drink keep company with these who frequent saloon and rccciv an Invitation to go inside. They refuse. But this gets monotonous after a "while and they tet tired of waiting outside, especially If the weather Is cold, and they yUld and more prospective drunkards are made. Again, others claim they have to visit the saloons because there Is no other place where they can go. This is a challenge which we cannot afford to Ignore. Shall It continue to bo said that the brewers and saloon keepers are more enterprising than wo are? I would like to tee a cocoa or coffee house managed by Christian people In every block of every city on this continent. Several spasdomic efforts have been made along this line and but partially succeeded. Why? Because there was not enough of them started, and sometimes the fault was In the management. A single cocoa house is opened in a large city. All the drunkards In town are requested to repent of their evil deed, invited to travel several miles to spend their evenings In a place where sociability, games, concerts and temperance drinks are offered as inducements; but they don't come. Why? Because there 'is a saloon within a stone's throw of where they live. "In England some years ago I was personally acquainted with the workings of a large cocoa house, and the effect upon the community was wonderful. Where heretofore pay-day night had been one of boisterous carousal it became one of the quietest of the week, and many a time I have seen a thousand working people, a large proportion of whom were men, enjoying a good concert on , pay-day night. The system is all right, and under proper Christian influence will always be productive of good results. And yet human agency and human Ingenuity, however wisely applied, will never free the world cf Its load of sin and evil. It is to God that we must look for deliverance. We must be willing not Only to pray, but to give our time and money to help destroy the works of the devil. God grant that every one here wlir have a part in the Tlnal overthrow of the liquor traffic, which will purely come some day. and that we may all Join in the glad shout of triumph, a triumph that shall hasten the coming of that glorious day 'when every fj1.? hall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ In Lord;' that speedily coming- day when the temperance battle cry shall be no longer 'in the name of Jesus Chr st the saloon must die,' but throughout Christendom the victorious h03ts of righteousness shall proclaim, 'through the all50Wrf.yI naav oi Jcsus Christ the saloon is dead. After the address by Mr. Dixon, Messrs. Excell and Gabriel sang a duet, "My Father Knows The words of this song wfre written by p. lady who had been prominent in missionary work, while she was on her death bed In a sanitarium In Battle Creek. Mich. She was suffering from a lingering disease which she knew would prove fatal. The music was composed by Prof. Excell. The song brought forth loud and vigorous applause, so much, in fact, that the singers were compelled to respond and they then sang, by request, "There Is Glory In My Soul." Mr. Knott, of Washington. Rev. J. O. Knott, of Washington, D. C, was the next speaker. Hl3 subject was "Economics of the Drink Traffic." In part he said: "A glance at the temperance situation shows it was never more critical. To appearances the liquor power has the better ? I . flht- The saloon exults over the aiethodlst chief magistrate's attitude to the army canteen law; over the utterances of Professor Atwater, of a Methdjist university, in his statement that alcohol is a food; over our being forced to- cut down our percentages as to liquor's part In producing pauperism, crime and child destitution. But th attitude of the President ha3 united the churches; the publication of the latest statistics by the committee of fifty will cause the saloon's ravages to be known by the hitherto uninformed, and the experiments of Professor Atwater will cause temperance advocates to stress more than ever the moral that economical arguments for prohibition. "Here is the situation In statistics. The liquor traffic has a capital of r57.000,000. It employs 2G1.000 people. It supports a population of 1.800,000. If consumes 58.000.0W of the farmers grain In making liquor. It pays the government $1S3.000.000 In revenue, but it takes J1.0S0.000.0O) of our people's money for drink. It gives us an army of 700.000 drunkards and. about S.0O0.O0O tipplers. Its indirect expense Is at least 25 par cent, of all poverty, 37 per cent, of almshouse pauperism. 45 per cent, of child destitution and 0 per cent, of all crime. "This 13 what it does for the farmer: It pays him :5,000,000 for his grain with which to make liquor one-half of 1 per cent, of Ms crop, and with that one-half of 1 per cent, it so damages the market for the remaining that we have the inconsistency of plenty of produce in the country and the family of the working man hungry in the city because llauor has ennsnmpd -what

hould have gone for bread. The liquor nami.- assumes 10 neip me merchant and general taxpayer, but it really makes a demand for cheap goods, makes it hard to collect bills, causes distress warrant car. nishments of wages, brings down the value 01 property ana lowers rents." The Saloon In Politics. Mr. Knott was followed by Rev. E. I. Eaton, D. D.. of Des Moines, la., who dis cused "The Saloon In Politics." He created Quite a laugh when, after having made a very pertinent remark concerning the sta - bllity with which many church members stick to their party through thick and thin. he said: "Now that may not be very pleas ant to some of you old politicians who would vote for the devil If he were on your ticket." Again he said, My father brought me up an ardent Republican, or at least my father was very ardent In the doing of It, and taught me that no Democrat could be saved. Now, I don't believe that, for I now have come to the conclusion that some Democrats may be saved if they will be real good." Mr. Eaton wandered somewhat from his original subject and got Into Dr. lliff's territory and discussed the Mormon question somewhat, but what he said merely served to warm up the audience and create In their minds great expectations of what was to follow. In part, Mr. Eaton said: . - "Prohibitionists have this one unanswer able argument to make: No State has the right to permit one citizen to tempt and de stroy anotner. This is exactly what the State does when, by any system cf leeal devilment, it permits the saloon to exist at all. On the contrary it Is the first duty of the State to afford protection to protect the weak against the strong; but when the State grants any form of legal permission to the saloon to rob, weaken and ruin men, the State protects the strong while they destro) the weak, thus exactly reversing its prov lnce and doing exactly what it was not con stituted to do. "The saloon is In politics because the Christian manhood of America allows it to be there. And the only real excuse which any voter can possibly render Is that my party has indorsed the license system, and it has done it all to secure political spoils and for gold. I invite the Christian voters of America to go where night Is darkest, and where broken hearts are bleed ing over the ruin which their legalized rum hath wrought, and sing the song of the almighty dollar and tell them that for all this bitter agony your palm Is filled with yellow gold. Tell them that for srold vou and your party will ltck the dust on the heels of saloonkeepers and crawl through all the slimy sewers of political sin. Tell . the shivering and hungry children that you have hoodwinked providence and ustonlshed the devil with a brilliant financial hocuspocus that has taken food from the mouths and clothing from, the backs of their little ones, and changed It all into gold licensed gold. "On Nov. 12. 1S62. the saloons of America made their first organization and entered into politics. What they have done in thir ty-seven years puzzled the pulpit, gagged the religious and subsidized the secular press; given the lockjaw to 'statesmen and to-day dominate every convention, rule every party and determine every election. If any party puts up a man for office who Is not a friend to the liquor traffic he will Instantly he defeated. If both parties put up men friendly to the traffic (which is gen erally tne case;, no one but uod can tell who will be elected. So that, to-day, all cancuaatrs. an conventions, all parties are aDsoiuieiy unuer tne dominance of the ea loon. "The Gentiles of Utah gave up their party organization and united in a party which they called the American party and In this manner quickly overturned Mormonlsm. In 1834 they gave up their American party and went back into their former parties and in two years the Mormons regained control of Utah and to-day dominate it more perfectly than ever before. This "imply means that the Gentile divided as now means Mormon rule. The Gentiles united means Mormon overthrow. So exactly with the saloon. It reigns In American politic by grace of the temperance men whom it manages to keep about equally divided in the two dominant political parties. Thus it comes to pass that two and one-half million of saloon votes control

fourteen million American votes and keeps the saloon enthroned in American politics forever."

Frederick D. Fuller, of Topeka. Kan., who was to have closed the programme tvas not present. - THE CLOSING SERVICES. Most of the Delegates Will Leave the City To-Morforr. To-day 'will be the last day of the con vention, so far as formal exercises are con cerned, but the majority c-f delegates will remain In the city until to-morrow morning, so a3 to avoid traveling on Sunday. The outgoing trains to-racrrow will be crowded and by to-morrow evening It is expected that practically ail visitors will have left the city. The business end of the gathering will close up the labors to-morrow and reports of officers will be received by the board of control. The amalgamation of young people's societies will be acted on and a num ber of other matters of importance to the league will be taken up. Roberts Park Church will be thrown open this evening, making four general meetings. Instead of three, as has been the custom during the other evenings of the conven tion. These meetings, being the last, will probably be prolonged until a late hour. Yesterday the work of clearing out the Statehouse was commenced and while the decorations have not been touched, all day wagons were hauling away tables, chairs and desks. By to-morrow night the building will, have reached its normal state. The Ushers Want Credit. Some difficulty has been experienced In holding , the ushers at the different meet ing places to their duties because they think they have been slighted. As one of the ushers said yesterday, "We have never worked so hard at any gathering as we have during this convention and every one of us is giving our services free. In the Indianapolis Ushers' Afsoclatlon there Is just one member of the Epworth League, and every other member belongs to the Christian Endeavor, but there has not been a single meeting that some one has not stood up and told about how the Epwortn League has cared for the crowds and how well the Epworth Leaeue has seated them at the meetings. The . truth is that thi3 work is all done by Christian Endeavorers and we're getting tired of having it rubbed inio us an tne time, we think we should be given some credit for it. This 13 the first meeting we have ever worked free, and we are doing it as Christian Endeavorers, and not as Epworth Leaguers." Shot Craps Under Epvrorthlans. Wesley Morgan, Haughvtlle; James Barnett, Beville avenue; Walter Jarnes, No. 719 Bismarck avenue; Louis Hoffman, No. S23 North Beville avenue; Joseph O'More, No, 714 Bismarck avenue, and William Buckshott were arrested last night by the detectives. They are charged with gambling, and were caught shooting craps in the basement of Tomlinson Hall while the religious services were going on in the room above. An Official Christian Penuon. M. A. Hamilton, of Detroit, has designed a pennant, which he calls a pennon, which Is now being considered by the league, with the probability of its being adopted as the Christian standard of the world. It is a very long, slender triangle. Indicative of the Trinity, with the emblem of the particular organization using it printed at the apex. One has been floating over Tomlinson Hall and one over the speakers stand in the tent. Anent Sunday Newspapers. One of the prominent speakers at the meetings last night saw fit to enter into a tirade against the Sunday newspaper. He pronounced it a "menace to society" and a "social demoralization." At the conclusion cf the addresses he stopped a Journal reporter long enough to ask him. "Will you have my address in the morning? I am very anxious," said he, "that it appear as written." A Delegate Hurt. James Werer, an Epworth League delegate, Elxty-three years of age, fell from a street car yesterday morning and was cut on the chin. He feared he was going to be carried past the big tent and got off before the car stopped. In doing so he turned the wrong way and fell. He was taken to the City Dispensary, where. his Injuries were given attention. Mr. Werer lives at Carlinvllle, 111. Gordon Was Not Invited. The reason Gen. John B. Gordon did not deliver his lecture on "The Last Days of the Confederacy" at Tomlinson Hall Friday night was that he was not officially Invited. Thi3 oversight came about through a misunderstanding on the part of the Epworth League committees. A DAY FOR MISSIONS. Services This Afternoon and Evening a on Thl Llr.e.

FORGERIES ON TICKETS

CLAIMS BV THE PASSBXGER ASSOCIA TION JOINT AGEXCY. Fight vrllh Scalpers Police Interview Clerks Who Confiscated the Transportation Slips. Considerable excitement was occasioned yesterday forenoon at the office of Gerrit Fort, secretary of tte Central Passenger Association, acting as joint agent of the rail ways running into this city, owing to the refusal of the clerks and Mr. Fort to place a validating stamp on the return portion of a ticket issued to Jerome Allen. New York to Indianapolis and return. Mr. Allen presented the ticket and was told that he would have to Identify himself. He went out and returned with Moses Selig, a merchant on South Illinois street. The Joint agency, whose clerks are strangers In the city, the same as thousands of the visitors, then asked that Mr. Selig be identified. Allen's ticket was confiscated on his first visit, and return of it was refused upon demand. Allen then called upon the police for assistance. After some questioning as to how and where he procured the ticket ' and the amount paid therefor, it developed that Mr. Allen came to Indianapolis on a train, the conductor of which was a brother to the man who refused to stamp the ticket. It was then returned to him stamped. Allen was greatly excited over the treatment accorded him. He said the clerk grabbed his hat from his head and looked In It for his name. He tvas alo asked to show the mark on his linen. Another similar case was that of Arthur nose, who claimed to have come from New York and wished to return, but the agency refused to stamp his ticket. Two clerks. Theodore Broadbelt and E. C. Glenny, were taken by the detectives to the police station on account of the confiscation of Allen's, ticket. The ticket being returned, they were released. A third case came up yesterday with a man named Croft, whose ticket had been taken up. He admitted that he had not purchased the ticket in New York and it was not returned. . Gerrit Fort, Joint agent, when aked re garding the cases, said that the tickets were taken up in accordance with a "condition" printed on the ticket, and because it ap peared that those presenting them were not the original purchasers. He Mid that If all appeared right and proper answers were made to Questions, no hesitancy was ever znade in the stamping of tickets. He said complaints were mostly from those who came here because of the cheap rates, and not on account of the convention. Since the opening of the joint office Mr. Fort has confiscated a half doien tickets to various points, which he shows were made "valid" by the use ot forged stamps. One was taken up yesterday. It wa9 a return ticket to New York and Issued In the name of H. Don. Charles C. Smith, 21&4 Fifth avenue, New York city, presented it, and after a talk with Mr. Fort signed an affidavit stating that it had been purchased of a ticket broker on South Illinois street. Mr. Fort said the perforating validating: stamp, the signature stamp of F. C. Donald, and the dating stamp or the Joint agency were all forgeries, as were the-same stampings on a ticket lsaued in the name of J. W. Conneli to Cleveland. The money paid for the tickets was refunded to the purchasers by the brokers. A ticket broker who was connected with the sale of one of the tickets claimed to bear marks of the forged stamps was asked about It, and he ridiculed the idea of the brokers here having any such stamps. He said there was no occasion for It when they could buy the tickets cheap, and with but little trouble In securing the necessary stamps of the Joint agency. He said it was simply the old fight of the association against the scalpers, and that the forged stamps were probably made by some one employed by the association for the purpose of making a fight on the brokers and securing publicity, thereby frightening the traveling public into buying tickets at full rates. lie said the traffic association was an organization working under the orders cf the "king bees" of the roads and antagonistic to the work of the general passenger agents of the various roads, from whom all "legitimate" scalpers could procure all the new tickets they wished for sale at "scalpers rates." He also said that he could take the special Epworth League tickets to the general passenger association and have them stamped and signed, ignoring the "valid" stamps of the, Joint association, and no conductor would dare refuse to honor them. Mr. Fort did not claim that the printed portion of the tickets which had been fraudulently stamped had been forged, or that they were bogus tickets. NEWBY OVAL RACES. A Fair Crowd Witnessed Some Exciting Finishes. A good-sized crowd saw the bicycle races at Newby Oval last night. It was composed mostly of local lovers of the sport, there being but a sparse sprinkling of Epworth Leaugers. Tho mile amateur and mile professional races developed some great speed, the finals being paced by tandems. The contestants were forced around at a killing pace and the finishes were very exciting. The amateur race was taken by James Davis, in 2:011-3, with W. N. Coval second and Marshall Levy third. The professional mile was won by Horace Poutch, in 1:55, with Louis Gordon second and Charles Pease third. The amateur mile handicap was won by Harry Morehead, a l(W-yard man, with Oscar Andrews second and Cliff Allen third. Time, 2:02 2-5. In the two-mile multicycle handicap L. O. Watson and Horace Poutch, 150-yard men, finished first: Bates and Steele. 350 yards, second, and Laycock and Jones, 225-yard men, third. Time, 3:39 2-5. The amateur tandem handicap, two miles, went to Fosdick and Woodruff, the 300-yard men; Coval and Allen, 100-yard men, second, and Schofield and Fitch. 150-yard men, third. Ttme, 3:48. The five-mile pursuit race between Charles Pease and L. O. Watson was devoid of exciting incidents. The men Struck a good gait and plugged doggedly around the track, Pease finishing first. In 11:47. The track officials were: Referee, Frank Erdelmeyer; clerk, Harley Craft; assistant clerk, C. G. Fisher; starter, George Dickson; Judges, Maro Thompson. C. C. Tuttle, Horace Hewitt, John Orman, Frank Bissell; timers, Frank Staley, Gus Craft, Will I laugh. George Kern; announcers, Tom Hay, Ed T. Eads; handicapper, W. G. Hunter; scorer, Harry Sargent. Cases in the 'Squires Court. James Rogers, a resident of Lawrence township, was arrested late Friday night and taken before Justice Smock at his residence on a warrant sworn out by John F. Brown, also of Lawrence township, charging grand larceny. It ia claimed he stole 630 pounds of wool valued at $125. The preliminary hearing will be heard Tuesday. Rogers went to jail In default of bond. An attachment suit brought by John A. Wild against Carl A. Frederick was heard yesterday by Justice Smock and taken under advisement. Wild was given Judgment against Frederick In a suit on a bicycle. A settlement was made with a balance of $6 due Wild. As the amount was not paid he sought to attach Frederick's interest In the Barton Hotel furniture and lease. The furniture was originally purchased of W. H. Messenger by Barton on payments. Barton sold to a Mrs. Turk and she sold to Fredcrick. Frederick paid about 1120 on the contract, but -the title to the property remains in Messenger until paid for. As there is a balance yet due on it. Justice Smock is in a quandary as to whether or lot an attachment can issue against Frederick's interest of 1120. Half Holiday for Carriers. Postmaster Hess yesterday received an order from Washington Instructing him to discontinue the Saturday afternoon delivery of mall In the business districts until the 1st of September. As a result of this order twenty mail carriers will have a half holiday every Saturday. Business men who desire their mall on Saturday afternoon may get It by sending to the postofllce. Died on the Itrusli f rontier. News has been received here of the death of Karl Kahl, formerly of Indianapolis. Paul Teichart received a letter saying that

Mr. Kahl died about two months ago of fever, on the Bolivian frontier in Brazil. Mr. Kahl was about thirty-five years of age. He left Indianapolis about twelve years ago,, going to Cuba. The Spaniards ordered him to leave there n account of his interest in the Cuban movement for freedom. Two years ago he visited friends here and last year he went to Brazil. The letter to Mr. Teichart says it is now known where Mr. Kahl's body is buried. His parents reside in Germany. AT BETHANY PARK.

Coal Oil Lamps Discarded A Stereopllron Lecture. Bethany was dull yesterday. This was natural, as Saturday Is usually a day of repose at camps of this kind. There is no extensive programme of tabernacle meetings and the transient attendance Is slim. During the day sawdust was laid over the dust that encircles the hotel, which is an improvement of much consequence. Besides the spreading Of sawdust another Improvement was finished yesterday, and that was the piping of the tabernacle for acetyline gas, which was lighted for the first time In the evening. The old coal-oil lamps were discarded as the relics Of a crude civilization, and the brilliancy of the new light turned night Into day at the house of worship. Among other Improvements was the swinging of many hammocks. Mr. Hacklemann, the music leader, came In on the morning train loaded down with these comfortable contrivances, and there were also others. The list of singers this year is as follows: Sopranos, Misses Pearl Perrin, Gertrude Winters: altos. Misses Jessamine Armstrong, Pearl Conner: bassos, Harry Baker, formerly with the University Glee Club, of Bloomington. and J. W. Wilson, of Roberts Park Church, Indianapcuis; leaders, W. E. M. Kacklemann and Ernest Wiles; cornetist, Frank Huston; violin, Mifs Bessie Rhode. Prof. Wilbur Winters will preside at the piano. The only excitement that happened during the day was the arrival 01 an elderly lady from the South, who, from her actions, was adjudged by the people to be mentally unbalanced; She refused to rive her name and her Identity was not, established at a late hour. She was asked why she cama and her reply was, "I heard this was where the preachers got ofl and so I got off too." The absence of other meetings at the Tabernacle was made up for by a stereoptlcon' lecture delivered In the evening by John L. Brandt. His subject was "Our New Possessions." To-day there will be a sermon by Prof. John W . McGarvey, of Lexington, Ky., and one in the afternoon by I. N. Grlsso, of Martinsville. At 9 a. m. there will be a Bible school, with James R. Sidner as superintendent; at 3 p. m.. a communion service will be held with Prof. A. R. Benton officiating, and at 7:30 there will be a song and praise service, which will be followed by a stereoptlcon lecture by John L. Brandt, cn "The Christ in Art." Registered at the hotel are the following new arrivals: Ada Pickett, Indianapolis; William E. Wallace, Chicago: Miss Resha Smith. Eminence: C. E. Baker, Bloomington; Bessie Rhode, Pine Village; Lillian Pearl Perrin, Thorntown; Mrs. L. D. Brooks. Rushville; Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Edward, Converse; Emallne Gilland, Mrs. G. W. Jones. Logan?port: Ruth Adams, Danville; G. W. MoDre. Brazil. RATTLING OWL CARS. They Are Driving North Pennsylvania People to Distraction. Residents of North Pennsylvania street are seriously considering organizing a lynching party or taking other steps to relieve themselves of the excessive annoyance caused by the owl cars on that street. These cars go up and down the street with the speed of express trains and with a voir that awakens every resident along that thoroughfare every time a car passes. The company seems to have caret uily selected the cars which rattle tho most and which bump along the street as though goln over a plowed field. The speed ot the cars is such as to rattle windows ;nd jar houses, so that sleep is impossible while the car is In hearing. CITY NEWS NOTES.

THE ILLS OF THE FLESH

RESPONSIBLE FOR TWO SllCIDES IX THIS CITY YESTERDAY. Wm. Rebmannf Afraid He Was Going Blind Christian Matthaua Had Heart Trouble. Two colored women, Josephine Hilliard and Sarah Roberts, 431 East Pearl street, while fishing along White river about three squares below the Belt Railroad bridge, south of the city, found a neatly folded coat, with a soft hat lying on top of it, on the bank. They looked around for the owner and saw In the water, abbut twentyfeet from the bank, the body of a man floating In the water. Charles Foxwell, of 32 Kansas street, who was also Ashing, was called and he telephoned to the police. Lancaster and Streit were sent out. They got Will Koerner, 2117 Chestnut street, to wade out and fasten hooks Into the clothing and the body was pulled ashore. Undertaker Lauck. 1024 South Meridian street, was there and the body was turned over to him, after being Identified as that of George Klngery, 613 Chestnut street. The man who made the identification was mistaken, however, as shortly after Kingery walked Into the undertaker's and viewed the remains. There were no mark3 on the clothing by which the man might be known, except that In the hat was the mark of "Isaac Stern, Danville, 111.," and the coat, not much worn, had a tag showing it had been turned out of tho factory some time in June. A boy, whose evidence the coroner is Inclined to doubt, said he saw the man take off his coat and walk into the water about 7 o'clock. The colored women found it about 10. The coat found on the bank was of a light color and a checkered pattern. Late yesterday evening the b&dy was positively identified as that of William Rebmann. fifty-four years of age. He lived at 412 East Morris street, about two squares from where his body was found. Rebmann left home Friday at noon. He had lived in this city about thirty-one vears and was formerly employed at the baking establishment of Parrott & Taggart.

Christian Matthaus, fifty-six years of age, who lived at 713 East Morris street, was found early yesterday morning in an outhouse in the rear of his home with a bullet hole in his breast. The body was covered with blood and a revolver which was found on the floor In front of him was also covered with blood. Around the hole where the bullet entered were evidences of burnt powder. As near as could be ascertained Matthaus shot himself about 4 o'clock and he was found about an hour later by his wife, who, upon missing her husband, went out to look for him. Mrs. Henry Brink, who lives next door, said she heard a shot about 4 o'clock and shortly afterward groans. She looked out of the window, but again retired and did not awaken her husband. Matthaus was a bartender at Schmidt's brewery and suffered from heart disease.

Before leaving the mayor again declared he was not a candidate for the nomination tor mayor. Fashion in Faces. London Medical Press and Circular. One result of the forward movement In womankind is the appearance of a luxuriant crop of cherry cheeks among the lair sex of the middle and upper claswes. It is no longer the fashion to be lily-white and pale as of yore, but rather to court the ruddy look of the milkmaid. This change confronts one in the parks, in the public streets, in the drawing room, in the theater, In church, everywhere. In short, where the dominant sex congregate. To a great extent, it is no doubt due to the passion for open-air exercise that now reigns almost as supremely as among the boisterous athletic male. A short generation since, when tair women deserted her mild domestic occupations and accomplishments for carriage" exercise or horse riding. she had well nigh exhausted her round of outdoor iecreations; whereas now, at the close of the Victorian era, she has golf, cycling, tennis, rounders, boating, hockey, to say nothing of fishing, shooting, yachting, hunting, and, greatest wonder of all, she has, in many cases, taken seriously to walking. All this means that a change for the better in mind, as well as In body, is registered on the bronzed cheeks of the modern damsel. The "vapors" of our granddames are dead as Queen Anne, fainting has gone out of fashion, and the average maiden of to-day moves, sleep and cats like a healthy human being. Clothing, too, must be in time brought to a rational standard, for no woman living could endure the martyrdom of

a long walk for two successive days In shoes with high heels and pointed toes. If ths medical profession were not guided by motives of the highest philanthropy it would rot encourage this ruddy-checked movement, for it robs it of a lucrative field of practice. RAN INTO A WASHOUT. Train Wrecked anl Four Tcople Dndly Injured.

COLUMBUS. Ga.. July 22. A passenger train on the Mobile & Glrard Railroad ran Into a washout fifteen miles from Columbus to-night, injuring four people, one of whom will die. The Injured are: T. S.

McKcnzie, Union Springs, Ala., back sprained and injured internally, will die; Conductor Dyer, of Macon, hip and back sprained striously; John Feltmore, brakeman, of Macon, head lacerated. THE SOCIAL LIE. A Man Became Embarrassed In Tellinn; It. Detroit Free Press. "Tra not up to it," muttered the Griswoldstreet real estate man who was musing at his desk without regard to the presence of his partner, "and that s the last stab I'll make at it if I live to be a hundred." "Losing your grip on business, old man?" mocked the partner. "No, you don't have that to worry over. I'll carry us both along Just as I've always done," was the warm retort. "It's a matter of conscience that I'll try to make you understand. I was married six months ago last Thursday. It seems that if a woman is at home and doesn't want to see Rnyone, 6he's not at home. The lie is wnothered in social ethics, don't you see? The other afternoon when I was home with the face ache she decided that she was not at home, and so informed me. I answered the first alarm at the door, and there atood a bewitching young woman asking for my wife. I looked like a sheep thief as I declared she was not at home. Just then she struck up a thundering march on the piano, and the pretty caller smiled. " 'My niece at practice, I said ldotically. Instead of shutting both my mouth and the door, and the caller laughed, for, as I learned in time, she knew I had no such thing as a niece. My wife burst forth in song, and the power of her voice is like that of a factory whistle. I blushed that deep shade of scarlet that can scarcely be distinguished from purple. " 'Well. the caller managed to say between laughs, I suppose I must return to Chicago. Give my love to Libbie, and tell her that it was Elsie. "Heavens! It was her old chum. Invited to spend a month with us, though not looked for till the next day. I ushered her in. retreated to my room, and haven't been able to give her a square look in the eyes since. What makes me seventy times madder la that my wife makes Just as much fun cf me as though it were not her fault. I'll tell no more society lies." A Deadhead. Philadelphia Telegraph. Fate, with wonted levity, has throtrn the sour and taciturn man into the company of the talkative cltzen In the railway car. "That was Quite An Interesting game of football, wasn't It?" said the latter, as he shoved a newspaper Into the inside pocket of his fur-trimmed overcoat. "I never read about football," was the solemn reply. "How true It Is," he added almost tearfully, "that this world is but a fleeting show." "Of course. That's one way of looking at It. I've felt that way about It myself. But let me ask you something. Are you putting In your money and hustling around to make this world any better?" "What's the user "Well, you'll excuse me for questioning you. But you referred to the world as a fleeting show. I'm a theatrical manager, and I'm Interested in anything in the show line. Now. I notice that you ain't in any hurry to get out of this world, are j-ou?" "No, I can't truly say that I am. The instinct of self-preservation" "That's all right. You didn't pay anything to get into this fleeting show, did you?" "Certainly not." "There you are. There's the old, old story right in a nutshell. I never In my life saw a deadhead who wasn't a kicker." Jeamea Was Friendly. New York Commercial Advertiser. In summer, apparently, the rigors of social etiquette, according to Jeames Yellowplush at least, are relaxed. On the steps of an Imposing mansion in West Ninetyfirst street, near the park, three men who looked mor like worthy mechanics out of employment than tramps, were engaged In the consumption of a frugal luncheon. They had a roll apiece, carefully split open, and a can of pork and beans, the contents of which one of their number was parcelling out with a chip of wood. Unaware of being observed, all three were munching contentedly, but through a chink between the curtains of the front window the countenance of the family butler was visible, framed In Its customary mask of cold disapproval of mundane things. Very disdainful looked Jeames aa he moved away from the window, presently tne iront door opened, would he emerge and haughtily drive the trespassers hence, or even call the police? Neither. He came out, true, and he still looked disdainfulhe can't help that; his face Is built that waybut he carried under his arm three bottles of beer, with the corks drawn. Who'll solve the mystery? The wayfarers could not possibly have been Jeamcs's friends. Perhaps he had sometime been thirsty and out of a Job himself. Useful Caterpillars. Farm and Fireside. It Is now said that the cocoon of the tent caterpillar can be carded, if not reeled. If this prove tru. then an apparently unmitigated curse will be turned into a blessing. The tent caterpillar is the great pest of the apple tree, and it may be that the apple tree will take the place of the mulberry tree as food for the silk worms. It Is estimated that an average tree will support ten or twelve tents of caterpillars, yielding 3.000 makers of silk, and representing a yield of three pounds of silk, worth Jl per pound. It is further said that with proper appliances attached to the trunks of the trees for the worms to spin their cocoons in, not much time would be expended in gathering the product, which would equal the apple proceeds of a tree at 75 cents a barrel. However, the worm might be Improved so asjo produce a finer grade of silk, and In tho end tho result would be that the silk would be more profitable than the apple. Mr. Bryce's Unfinished Novel. London Mall. Mr. Bryce, M. P.. once began to write a novel so he told his hosts, the members of the Authors' Club, last night but he never finished it. . "I had a good plot," he said, "and a good title, which has never been thought 01 before. "I have a reason for not publishing the novel now because the writing of fiction has gone through so many changes since I began it. "There had been novels of moral problems, novels of religious problems, and the novels which seemed to be most in vogue now of pure, that was to say, of highly improbable adventure. Laughter. He was waiting until the wheel of fortune came round and brought again the particular plan on which his novel was conceived, and then he should publish it, but anonymously." Laughter. A Faetor In Chnreh Work. Philadelphia Record. The great attendance of members of the Epworth League at their fourth biennial lnternation convention, now in session at Indianapolis, Indicates the steady growth of the organization. The convention will consider some important questions, notably the amalgamation of the young people's societies of all the evangelical denominations. If the proposition to effect this union shall be favorably acted upon it will mean the consolidation of a vast army of young feopie enlisted in a warrare agajnst evil nfluences. The Epworth league has become a potential factor in the advancement of church work, and the deliberations of the Indianapolis convention should tend to further increase the success of its world-wide labors.

BRYAN IS FOR G0EBLE

URGES HIS ELECTION IIY DEMOCRATS OF KCMtCKY, Letter from the Standing Presidential Candidate to trey Woodson Invitation to Goldltea. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July S3. W. J. Bry.fn to-day handed to the Associated Pre.c3 a letter written to Urey Woodson, nallonat Democratic committeeman from Kentucky, bearing upon the factional differences arising in the ranks of the Democratic party in Kentucky through the nomination of Goebel for Governor. Speaking of the Loul?villo convention, Mr. Bryan raid: "I noted with deep regret the bitterness which characterized the contest for the gubernatorial nomination, and studiously avoided saying anything which could be construed as a profession of preference for any one candidate. I did not then, nor fhall I now, discuss the relative merits of the candidates; neither am I sufficiently Informed upon the facts to sit in Judgment upon the conduct of the convention which placed the ticket in the field. The only objection I feel called upon to consider at the time is one urged, by a number of friends whose sincerity I cannot doubt, but with whose opinion I cannot agree, namely, that the election of Mr. Goebel would endanger the success ot the Democratic principles as enunciated in the Chicago platform." Mr. Bryan then goes on at great length to show Mr. Goebel's loyalty to the Chicago platform and expresses a desire thai all gold Democrats shall return to the party fold, provided they will accept the Democratic platform and support candidates pledged to it. In conclusion ho say: 'Certainly a victory won upon the platform adopted by the Louisville convention cannot do harm, but what hall we say of a defeat. If the Republican state ticket is elected the Republicans In Kentucky ar.d else here will be encouraged and the fight of 1U0 made harder. If the Democratic state ticket is defeated a Republican tnator may be elected from that State. The senator elected by the next Legislature will serve throughout the next administration. What shall it profit us If we elect a President and House of Representatives and have a hostile Senate. Silver cannot be restored; the trusts cannot be overthrown. The imperial policy of the Republican party cannot be brought to an end until the Senate, the House and the executive are all taken out of the handa of the Republican party. We are engaged in a great contest between plutocracy and Democracy, a contest which may decide finally whether English financiers or American voters shall control our financial policy: whether our government shall be a government of the trusts or a government of the people: whether our na tion shall remain a republic or become an empire. In answer to those who urge thit Mr. Goebel's election would be detrimental to the cause of bimetallism, to me. personally, I deem It my duty to say I have no personal or political Interests that de serve to be considered when Democratic principles are at slake, and that In my Judg ment the cause of Democracy would be in jured by the defeat of a Democratic ticket nominated upon a platform which ur.quail fiedly Indorses the Chicago platform." IIOl'SE MADE OF GLASS. Suggested ns One of tho Attraction nt Ohio Centennial. Toledo Blade, One of the most novel suggestions for at-' tractions at the Ohio centennial is one that has been made to the directors by a Toledo man. It is nothing more or less than the erection of a glass house wholly by Toledo industries. It is proposed to erect a house at leaft eight stories high and composed wholly ef class, side walls, ceilings end floors, with glass water pipes, heating pipes, gla stairs and glass furniture. The Idea is to give tho people some practical demonstration or lh use of glass in tho present age. It is well known that many firms are now msking glass pipes for underground systems, both water and sewage, and that glass is fast becoming one of the principal commodities in trade of thi kind. Edward Bellamy, In his latest book. "Equality," touches upon a residence of this kind, only he made his cf ceramics. He used tiles for the floors, side walls and) ceilings, while paper carpets covered the floor. When the carpets became soiled by dirt or Impregnated with germs they were burned and the hose was turned on the walls and ceilings to cleanse the rooms. In a class house this idea would be carried. out with the exception of the carpet, which would be or glass. A company or this city has already demonstrated its ability to make clothes or gias and there is co reason wny carpets should not he made cf the samo material. The Idea or the glass house is being considered with much Interest by members of the centennial company, and th subject gives a wide range of possibilities in the building line. List of Killed and Wounded. Washington Special. A great many applications have been received recently by the War Department for an official list of the killed and wounded during the Philippine campaign, and the department has been compelled to give a refusal to all such requests. It is not generally known that there Is a law prohibiting the making Of such lists public. The refusal to comply with the request for details ha caused much criticism and abuse to be madr? against the department, simply because peo pie are Ignorant of the law. The reason the law was passed. It is raid, was because if the official list were published It would glvo every claim agnt a chance to annoy the relatives of soldiers, aa well as the government, by appealing to them for pensions. Further, the furnishing of such a list by the government itself, stating the exact nature of a wound or the name of the soldier killed might be held to estop the Pension Bureau from disputing any claim. It might be construed as an admission on the part of the government that the fact warranted the claim. All injulrles in regard to the killed and wounded are referred by the War Department to the casualty list printed from time to time In the newspapers. The work of a fanaer, wife Is cevti ended. But it is wholesome, cnioyable, productive work that is pleasurable if the, farmer's wife is a well woman. The work becomes weary dnidgerv when the woman is sick. The work drags and the woman pride is hurt, Her ambition is to do as much and better work than her neighbors. It is a distinct triumph if her butter is generally regarded as the finest in the county. But fine butter and bad health don't eo to gether. Mrs. W. T. Kidder, of Hill Dale Fsrm, Enosburg, Vt. writes to Dr. R. V. rierce, Buffalo, N.Y.J "Dur. ingthe past year I found that I was to become a mother and that I was In rapidly failing health. I suflred dreadfully from bloating, and urinary diTiculty. I was Sowing perceptibly weaker each day and sufred much sharp pain at times. I tad to give up roy work and I kit that something must be done. I sought your advice and rcct ircd a prompt reply.
