The Democrats held a typical meeting m the. Fifteenth ward Saturday niuht, and tl.o details of it have ju.-t lakd out. The meeting was held in the barber sdiop of William Sachs, at Meridian and McCarty streets, and a ndhborlr.g saloon keeper Is wondtriug if it pays to provide on''s If with a city liquor license and try to run in opposition to the Democratic lty committer. Before the rmeting was ealbd to order the. Democratic committee cnt down several kegs of beer, but unthinkingly failed to send tivj necessary glasses and faucets with them. The gang which the prospect of fr-e bc-r called toiether seemed to be in a fair way to ro thirsty whin somo one went to a near-by saloon kcper and borrowed enough glasses and faucets to keep the crowd well irrigated while the ieaking was going on. Bc-er and oratory began to flow at once and the beer lasted the longest, for by the time Deputy Controller Sullivan, Albert Sahm and several others had finished their s-pecches; there yet remained a couple of kei;s to drain. The crowd pitched in with a will, however, and soon disposed of them and then adjourned to a saloon farther down the street, where the revelry continued until Sunday morning. The facts leaked out yesterday when the saloon keeper made complaint that his glasses and faucets had not teen returned and that ho had been unable to accommodate his Sunday trade until he in turn borrowed enough to meet the emergency. lie Is of opinion that as a competitor the Democratic city committee has him beaten to a standstill. k 1. 1 : ct i c x i s i i: ct o 1 1 s . The Council Will Probably Revise the Lint at Tu.MkIU'm Meeting;. To-night's meeting of the Council will be the last one for several of the members whose terms are about to expire and who have not b.en renominated. The principal matter to come before the meeting will be the selection of the election Inspectors and judges for the different precinct', together with all the minor precinct officials. While the list of Inspectors was given out some time ago. there Jd little doubt but it will be materially changed at to-night's meeting, as several have announced that they will not serve, while a few have moved Into other precincts wince the selection. Just what the changes will be cannot be learned, as, according to six councllmen interviewed on the subject, there has been no meeting except of the elections committee and nothing will be definitely decided on until Just before the Council meeting, when the two parties will caucus and make their selections for all ortices. The inspectors will be rained by the Democrats, as they are in control of tho Council, but the other oilier will be filled by representatives of both parties. I)K0l.CCII AS A UK. The Sentlnel'M Story of llookivnl ter In a South-Side Suloon. Mr. Bookwalter when seen last night In regard to his being found in a saloon on the Suth Side Saturday afternoon by a Sentinel reporter denounced the w hole story as .i lie and said It did him and Custav Joseph an Injustice. He admits being on the South Side, but his mission there was to se an ohl friend with whom he formerly worked on the Wabash Railroad, lie did not buy any beer nor did he enter any saloons. The story us printed in the Sentinel was a fabrication of the worst order. 3Ir. Sebolz Well I'leiiMed. F. J. Scholz, former state treasurer, who spoke at a meeting at Lincoln lane and East street. In the Fourteenth ward, Saturday right, is greatly pleased with what he saw. The meeting was large and enthusiastic, though the ward has been considered Democratic. Mr. Scholz say. he found every man in the audience attentive and thoroughly In accord with the sentiments of the sreakers. The Republican ward and precinct organization is already in good shape and will be improved steadily until election day. Outlde Opinion.

Bookwalter is in every way qualified to make as good a mayor as Mr. Taggart has been and he is deserving of the united support of his party. As the campaign nears the end there are evidences of the most complete harmony and of such a getting together of Republicans as presages a great ictory. The party outside the city and throughout the State are looking to their friends at Indianapolis to do their whole duty and s,to not short of the election of Mr. Bookwalter by a substantial majority. Middletown New?. WESTERN WINDOW JOBBERS They Will Hold n Meeting In Cbieiiao Thin Week. A meeting of the Western window-glass jobbers has been called for the early part cf the week to be held In Chicago. The jobbers, it Is s-;id. will meet to consider the marke-t conditions and to make invoice of the combined stock on hand. Representatives from the trust and independent factories are expected to be preseni. Both the representatives of the latter and tho combine will determine largely from the facts produced at this meeting as to the date when the factory fires are to be started. It i.s hinted that a close organization will be formed in which the price of window glass will be forced up a notch or two, the rates being fixed by the trust and adhered to by the independent manufacturers and the jobbers, many of whom own their own plants. It was said yesterday that it Is probable the date of resuming operations will be postponed until the first tf November, owing to the fact that the jobbers and middlemen throughout the country are well supplied with large and complete stocks. It was rumoreel tnat a meeting was to be held in Chicago for the purpose of organizing a company to oppose the trust. It was said yesterday In glass circles that the rumor doubtless had its origin In the meeting or Tuesday or Wednesday. This meeting, however, will rrolably result. It wan fald, not in opposition to the American Window-gins ComTjny, the trust, but In a decided movement to co-crerate with it with the purpose In view of controlling the output and mafctalnlug prices. The trust will

be allowed to the rates tiie independent manufacturers and jobbers depending upon it for tho maintenance of the present prices sit br.st. The tru.t. it was said, is meeting with little or no opposition, excepting that cf a lej:ai nature instituted by l'resld-nt Burns, cf the blowers, but. on the contrary, is r cf iving encouragement, which, though flisguis-d. comes from almost all sources concerned in the window-glass business. THIEVES TAKE THEIR TIME.

EfttnlilUltment of tluy Ilanali Burglarized Venterdny Xorning. Early yestcniay morning thieves broke ir.to the store ri Juy Haugh, 23 North Pennsylvania sire t, and stole a lame ejuantity of furnishing goods. Entrance was secured through the transom over the front door. The windows are cove red by shades and the thieves took their time, thoroughly ransacking the place and leaving by a rear door. There was bit little In the ptc-r that was nut disturbed. th- goods not tak n bring scattered over the floor. Apparently the thieves had selected only thoe things which they wanted. As near as could be ascertained yesterday, everything missing is of the "loudest" anil brightest stock in the store. The phi hUt s'-euml was evidently carried away in a large grip which is mining. The police were notified, but had not found the burglars last night. GENERAL VAUGHN DEAD HE PASMIll AW AY I. ST MfilET AT Hit. Ill NM:i S AMTAItll m.

The lad, who is about thirteen years of age, was scut to the police station. On arriving there ho oik nod his eyes and utterd some unintelligible remark, but nothing further could be got from him. It was not known whether he was drunk, faint from want of food, as his appearance might indicate, or had been injured in some way. CHILD BADLY BURNED. It Clothing Caught Fire from n Gasoline Stoie.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS OF OLD

i REV. T. A. GOODWIN RELATES HIS EAR LIE It E X BE R I E CES. Gives mi Entertaining Talk at Mcrlel-in-Street M. E. Churrh Aeldrc nt the Y. 31. C. A. At the Meridian-street M. E. Church Sunday School yesterday morr.ir.g Rev. T. A. Goodwin talked of his earlier experiences in Sunday-School work. He said: "I am teque-sted to tell you about my first Sunday school. The object. I suppose , is to ccntiast th.it with this. It was seventy y ars ago, end th- tir.-t Sunday schoo. att mptnl in Eri:kvin' a few years later than the first Sunday school in Indianapolis. To appre ciate it you mur-t bear in mind there wre no public tchools then in which tuition wa. free, and the private schools were so expensive that many children could not att'.-nd thm. hence in a large sep.se they were charity schools to give this kind of instruction that is now given at our publie schools. There were classes, or individuals in the alphabet, clashes in spel.ing and reading from the primers and spelling books and readers in common use; only those who could read fairiy well reading in the New Testament. Religious instruction secired to be .secondary and Incidental and eoi s.stcd chiefly in reading a ch.ipter or two v. lurever the teacher might happen to open, for x i had not studied any particular chapter. Occasionally he would ask questions, such as: 'What did Christ sav in the thirty-third ver-e?- -What did Beter answer?' Perhaps the most valuable work of the schools of that period was the committing to memory of whole chapters of the Scripture and reciting this to the teacher. A ectioii of that school and it whs a representative school of the periodlet down into this school would be a surprise, but a section of this school ! t down ir.to that would most like'.y produce consternation. These violins and other instruments would not have been tolerated for a minute, and such siutjing as uv have, tho.-v valleys and locks never heard, and more than that, they did not want to hear it. The superintendent was one of the best men in the town or iti any town, and by far the most competent man available for the place. As the school was almost wholly for children and youths who wanted to learn to read, few grown young people, and almost no older people attended, except those who. often with much coaxing, were drafted as teachers, hence the full chorus of an oldfashioned Methodist congregation was not on hand, either, to 'pitch the tune' or to carry it. Jpit the sup.rintendent was equal to the occasion. He knew two tunes, one was 'Old Fathe r Grimes.' nnd the other wasn't, and he never failed on either, but 'Grimes was his favorite, hence he nearly always gave out a common meter hymn. After reading It through he would announce It. two lines at a time, then mentally hum over the first lire of 'Grimes' and then 'pitch tho tune' to tho music. Once started lie never failed to get through, and the hymn was eiuite as apt to be: " 'J 'lunged in a gulf of dark despair We wretched sinners layAs anything else. No such bright, sweet sentiments as "I am Jesus' little Iamb; Therefore, glad and gay I am. or, " 'Jesus loves me. this I know, l or tho Bible tells me so, Was ever heard in a Sunday school of that period. No wonder that many If not most of the children of the veal I v age, between childhood and manhood too big to bo a boy or girl and not quite big enough to be a man or woran dropped out e.f the wrheol until the schools became schools for studying the Scriptures and applying them i life. "This school, with all its splendid appointments, with its devoted teachers, ranging from the kindergarten department to the critical Bible classes, is a grow th, not a creation. It is. r.s it jhouid be, a part of the machinery of the church as much as the pulpit is, and the church can no more perform Its mission without a vigorous Sunday school than it can without a live and eflicient preacher; and no member of the church, old or young, tan render full service to the church without as regularly attending it as he attend the preaching service, unless the infirmities of ,ise or domestic duties that cannot bo avoided forbid." AT TIIK A. 31. C. A. V. W. Helm TulkM on "Tie Duty of the Daning Century." The auditorium of tho Young Men's Christian Association was well filled yesterday afternoon. The regular service was conducted by V. W. Helm, of North Manchester, Ir.d., a graduate of De Pauw University and recently appointed as national secretary of the Y. M. C. A. work in Japan. Mr. Helm took for his subject "The Duty of the Dawning Century," and directed most of his talk to the now work he hail taken up among the young men of Japan. He called attention to the fact that Japan was coming rapidly to the front among civilized nations and that the duty of Christians was to take advantage of it and plant tho Christian religion firmly among the young Japanese. John 1. Hillis. "the singing evangelist." of Greencastle, lead the song service and presided at the meeting. The mus.e was furnished by the Y. M. C A. Mandolin Club, assisted by Fred Ilubbel. pianist. The meeting was under the auspices of tho Y. M. C. A. Volunteer league. Servlees In the Catholic Churches. Yesterday was observed in the Catholic churches of the city as the Feast of the Holy Rosary, and at the services at St. John's Church there were many Protestants present. Rev. Francis Ryves in his sermon explained the origin, associations and uses of the rosary, which, he said, consisted of "The creed." lifty-three "Ave Marias." five "Our Fathers" and six "Glorias." During October the rosary will be said each morning In the churches. The public meetings of tho League of the Sacred Heart will bo resumed, beginning next Friday evening at St. John's Church. On Friday morning three masses will be said, at t, 7 and b o'clock, and during the week several German saints' days will bo observed. On Tuesday. Oct. 10. the Father Mathew League will observe the birthday of Rev. Theobald Mathew, the great Catholic temperance leader. Cornerstone Laying. The members of Grace Presbyterian Church, at Thirty-second street and Capltcl avenue, will participate in the laying of the cornerstone of their new church at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Rev. J. Gumming Smith, of Tabernacle Church, will conduct the services. The stone will be laid by tho pastor, Rev. W. M. Elliott. K. OF P. GRAND OFFICERS. The Election This Week Expected to lie a Spirited Contest. It is said that the meeting of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias, which is to be held here this week, will be the largest Grand Lodge meeting ever held in this State. About representatives are ex pected to bo present. Some of the Grand Lodge officers have already arrived. Among those who are here are John W. McCardle, grand chancellor; James E. McDonald, vice grand chancellor, and Daniel E. Storms, grand prelate. Mr. McDonald, who resides at Ligonler, is a candidate for advancement to th position of grand chancellor anel Mr. Storms Is a" candidate for the vice chancellorship. James G. Owens, of Evansvide, is after the same place, and another Evansville man. ex-Judge A. C. Hawkins, is a candidate- for supreme representative. W. L. Heiskell, of this city, also desires to be supreme representative, it is said. R is claim.-d that C. A. Bookwalter is almost sure of being elected to the oltlcc of grand prelate. It is predicted that the sharp light will be over the election of a grand keeper tf records and seal, a position now hel I by Frank Lowers. The pluL'e is worth about 1,(i a year. O. M. Shrer. of Uloomtbld. H. L C. Smith, of Fort Wayne, and W. C. Peterson, of Darlington, are after the office. Mr. Bowers is also a candidate for re-election. Gallowny Fnrmcr Arrested. Galloway Farmer, colored, was arrested yesterday by the bicycle police for drunkenness. He was found kneeling In the middle of Noble street, praying and singing. lr his pocket was fou.td a pint bottle which had contained liauor. It is thought he i the am man who has excited much curiosity at Wahington and Illinois and Meridian and 'Vermont streets by unusual actions. He would Ftand under the electric light with uncovered head and handkerchief

in his hands, first bending to the ground and then raising hl3 hands above his head, all the while muttering to himself and refusing to ?peak to or notice those who spoke to him.

AUF WIEDERSEHEN. Some Reflections Preliminary to a I'roposed Trip Around the World. To th Editor of the Indianaiolis Journal: When on the afternoon of Oct. 0 the good ste-amor tho Empress of India casts eft its moorings in tho straits of Vancouver the writer will be on board, exacting to reach Yokohama two weeks later. After six weeks in Japan he will cross over to China and Peking, thence from Hong-Kong to tho Philippines, thence to Ceylon and upper India, where he will spend the winter months, expecting to leave Bombay for the Holy Lanel in time to spend Easter at Jerusalem and in sight of Calvary. From Beireut, in Syria, he will turn west again, calling at .Malta and passing through the Straits of Gibraltar, finally stopping at London and the world's fair ct Paris. Dewey and the Spanish war have made a trip to the Orient almost a necessity to the traveled American, the rcnaturalization of Japan, the impending partition of China and emr recent foothold In the Philippines marks the new era with which the twentieth century so soon begins in those faroff countries. The maxim, "One world at a time," and with the United States, "The new world only," has gone the way of Washington's farewell address. Six thousand years ago history and civilization beg. in upon tho Euphrates and the Plains of Persia. From that day to this they have both been tslowly marching west and north. From Assyria and Persia to 1-gypt, from Egypt westward to Greece and Rome, thence north and west again over the continent of Europe, thence four centuries ago across the Atlantic to the new world, thence west to the Mississippi and the Kooky mountains, thence west ng iin to the i'acitic slope, thence to Japan; su.-h has been the stateiy march of empire, which march has by no means ceased, hut is still moving forward ana onward. The next century will witness the redemption of China and the adjoining countries. The great Transsiberian Railway is only a farseeing Russian device to bring this westward movement to its own doors and over its own highways. Nor are the political questions by any means the most interesting of the Orient. I have long believed that all religions are akin to each other and spring from the samo source, viz., man's inextinguishable spiritual nature. I am slow to think that our Creator has chosen that f taction of the race to which we belong less than one-fifth of the human family and revealed His will to us alone. There are bibles and bibles, anel prophets and prophets. For undeveloped nations there are rudimentary religions adapted to their capacities. Zoroaster, Mohammed, Guatama were and are as much the saviors of their respective peoples as the Man of Galilee is and has been the Savior to Saxon. Gaul, Slav and German. The difficulty is that we are quite as ignorant of the real religions of Asia as they are of ours. Religions ore more or less modifications. If not creations, of race, climate, soil, government and civilization, and must be studied comparatively and as parts of the great study of human development, otherwise we shall find ourseives lapsing into bigotry. Then there are almost innumerable other questions which a trip to the Orient suggests. Why are the Chinese almoml eyed? Why the great changeless East the parent of great religions and the seething, revolutionary West? Why the pagoda in China, the cathedral In Europe, the mosque in Turkey and the gigantic temple in India, dim and heavy with the mysterious and the abnormal? All these questions I go to study and ponder over, even though in a small way. A successful traveler must have the seeing eye and the hearing ear. While it is impossible within the short period of six or eight months to get more than a glimpse of Asia, still, one can make a beginning in that time. Unfortunately the average traveler in foreign lands sees only what he Is sent to see or sees only through eyes of prejudice and habit. I have crossed the Atlantic six times and each time have said with all my heart: "The Cnited States is the poor man's country and the only country in the whole world fit for the poor woman to live in." It may bo that we are yet in the green, but the beginning is here of a splendid future, such as is possible nowhere else In the whole world. England, the most advanced nation on earth, is superior to us In government and public order and social organization, but vastly our inferior in popular education, in general Intelligence, and, above all, in opportunity. I hope to study the question of expansion in the Philippines, of colonization in India, of races in Japan and China and of music and religions in all of them and report what I roe and as I see it. D.

Ilt:J !l HARRISON. A .Notable Tribute to the Republican Ex-Presldcnt. Atlanta Constitution (Dem.). The example fet by the appearance of exPresident Harrison as a practicing attorney before the Venezuelan arbitration commission at Paris must be a revelation from several points of view to the people of Europe. Judging from the character of the men who are born into power in the Old World, and who are Incapable of transacting their own business, the appearance of the American cx-President furnishes a pleasing contrast. Here.ia a man who for four years was the executive head of the greatest nation on earth, who not only knows how to work, but who can work well, holding his own in a contest of the keenest intellects of the world. Clean in character, . industrious in habit, studious In manner, and proclaiming himself a man among men, Benjamin Harrison is a citizen of whom the United States may well feel proud. The fact also that a man who had once tasted the vastness of power should relinquish it with pleasure and engage in an honest vocation is another feature which will arouse comment. The French borders are always beset by the presence of pretenders to power whose only claim Is that of family inheritance. They live by bleeding their followers, who hope for repayment when the time of restoration conus. The American, on the contrary, calmly resumes his citizenship and feels as distant from the control of empire as if he had never had it in his hands. To a world of conventionalism and tradition this lesson of American manhood must prove an engrossing study. In our land it is the man and not the family that counts, and manly principle and integrity go for much more than polluted princely blood. One of Evnnn'n Stories. New York Presa. "Fighting Bob" Evans tells? this story: "When Eulate, the commander ef the Vlzcaya, got on board the Iowa I took him into my cabin and gave him the best 1 had. Through the open port he saw Ids vessel beached and burning. Tears trickled down his cheeks. I felt very sorry for the poor fellow as he moaned 'Adlos, Vlzcaya! Adlos, my noble ship!' After he had composed himself a bit I offered him a cigar the best on the Iowa a five-center. He looked at it, thanked me, straightened up, laid back his shoulders, and, running his hand inside his coat, brought forth an 'Invincible that couldn't be bought in New York for less than a dollar. 'And, captain.' he said, emotionally, will you have the goodness to try one of mine?' It was the best smoke I ever had." Senton the Hatter. Dunlap and other best hats.
