Address t Welcome Iy Itnlihi Meu siiiK Ilev. Milbiirn uud l)exvliurt TalkThe Evening Service.

The dedicating services of the now Hebrew Temple of the Indianapolis congregation wluch were held at the temple yesterday afternoon and evening were very impressive. The beautiful new edifice, situated at the corner of Delaware and Tenth streets. was filled with people when the services began, about 2:20. After the opening musical numbers the Scripture lessons were read from the first chapter of Genesi?, in which God said, "Let there be light and there was light." When this was concluded the new temple was illuminated with hundreds of incandescent lights. The transformation was impressive. Mr. Sol Kteer, chairman of the building committee, in making tho presentation of the key of the temple to the congregation, spoke of the time three years ago when he handed n his report as president of the con gregation and advised the building of a new temple of worship. The matter was taken up and as a result the beautiful temple was dedicated yesterday. Mr. David Kahn, president of the Hebrew congregation, accepted the key with an appropriate speech. Prayer was offered by Rabbi II. J. Messing, of St. Louis, and then the opening address was delivered by Itabbt Messing. He spoke of this being the second dedication of a houie of worship for the Jewish people o' this city with which he has been connected. Con tinuing he said: T am hero to-day to bid you welcome; hearty, hearty welcome to this new reUglou3 home. I think of all the work done toward this grand end. I see how each and every one of you has labored In tho name of God. There is nothing beautiful, there Is nothing which calls more strongly for recognition in tha heart of tvery true Clod-worshiper than the self-sac-rlllce for the sake of the house of God. When I cast my eyes about tills temple when 1 note its symmetry, its beauty, it.- grandeur when l think ot the spirit which caused its erection, the advancement of this congre gation is brought more clearly before my mlnd. Temples have been built by Jews and temples will be built by Jews so long as the world needs the Jew; so long as the unity of God and the brotherhood of man are not universal. From time Immemorial Jewish life was centered In and about the temple, Jewish history builds Itself up with the stones of the temple. Let our motto be, for the temple, for God, for humanity." REVS. MILBURN AND DEWIIURST. The invocation was rendered by Rev. Dr. Isaac M. Wise, of Cincinnati. Rev. J. A. Mllburn made a few brief remarks concern ing his high respect and regard for tho Jew ish people, and he was followed by Rev. P. E. Dewhurst, who also spoke with reverance concerning the Jews and the great bono- that had been bestowed upon him by an Invitation to address tho Jewish congre gation at the dedicatory exercises. Rev. Dr. Emil G. Hlrsch, of Chicago, made the closing remarks at the afternoon services. His subject was "Judaism," and he made a most eloouent address, in which he eulogized the Hebrew people. In part ho said: "This temple speaks in notes of no uncertain sound. First, that religion is still among the world-bulldlng powers. In this age of science many minds have been misled to believe that Ciod had vacated Ilia throne. Rut better thought In the latter day has been to recognize that, after all. science only throws light on the methods. Evolution has by no means negatived the fundamental teachings of religion. Our religion has no quarrel with science. This temple in the second place witnesses the persistence of Judaism. Though the Jew willingly recog nized that Christianity has a Clod-appointed mission, he has good cause to maintain that he still has appeals for humanity. The Jew hopes and works for the unification of humanity, lie praya for the coming of tne time when God's kingdom of righteousness will be established on earth. Uut, finally, this temple also witnesses to the truth which tills us with Joy that the new Juda ism 13 consecrated to the same service tnat set aglow the hearts of the father In this temple the forms and faiths of reformed Judaism will find a congenial home. Re formed Judaism Is a development out of the old, not a departure therefrom. This temple proclaims that the Jew in America has round his Palestine; tnat nere, wnere tne stars and stripes wave, the Jew has no cause to make himself an exile. Loyal to country and flag, the worshiper in this tem ple will also be loyal to Judaism, aiay men this temple be a center or inspiration, sheltering ail the influences making for the better, for the nobler life of both the Jew and th non-Jew. and mav thld endeavor brinir tho congregation the richest rewanrfor tbe sacrifices of which theso walls so eloquently speak." Rev. J. Wechsl.T pronounced tne benediction. DR. 1IIRSC1PS ADDRESS. lie Freaches nn Interesting Discourse nt the Xcvr Temple. At the Hebrew Temple last night the Rev. Dr. Emil G. Hlrsch delivered an excellent address on the subject' of "The Weak, Coupled with Righteousness, Shall Lead the Stronger." The doctor said: "However the story as told in Genesis might be regarded, whether It bo taken as the Inspired work of God or as a wonderful work of fiction, still it will have to be tidmitted that It was a wonderful story and contained some wonderful truths. When Rebecca gave birth to twins God said unto tho weaker of them, 'Go forth Into the world and bo not afraid, for I am with you, and when I am with you there Is none that can overcome you. God is righteousness, and he who embraces righteousness becomes one with God. How much stronger was Lgypt than Judea, and yet did not the Jews overcome Egypt? 13 it not said that a soft hand turneth away wrath, and does this not mean that gentleness and love tire the ruling power of the world? And these things are born of (Jod. If you are one with God your physical weakness will not prevent jcu from becoming a conqueror. Tho Jews have been oppressed since tho time when the mind of man runneth not to the contrary, and yet they are stronger to-day than ever before. And why? liecause they have persevered in that which they knew to bo rlirht. Notwithstanding the persecution of France and Russia, tho Jews continue to dwell there in the perfect security of righteousness and with thdr faith in the one God still unshaken. While the Bible is claimed by all nations and by all sects, and while all creeds arc founded upon it, yet the liihle is essentially a Jewlsn Bible. The Lib:o is unitarian to those who read it understandingly, but there are histories which precede the Bible in point of 'time, and these are Jewish histories. No maa can properly understand and appreciate the Blb.c unless he Is fully conversant with these histories. Then, again, our greatest poets were unitarians, and the beautiful verse which they have given us is teeming with unitarianlsm. Does not the sweet poetry of Ixmgfellow and Tennyson and the verse tf Whlttier tell you who are familiar with them the same story that tho Jews have believed and suite-red for for years? Are not the great republics of the worid. tho great monarchies, tho democracies all of them unitarian? Does It not follow of Ine citable necessity that it must be so. that there must bo one great fountain head and only one? He who rules the world and holds us In the hollow of His hand Is tho only God. the righteous God and our Savior. It is a fact well known to the students of history that the greatest leaders we have ever had aro those who have been physical ly the weakest, but they were strong in their righteousness. and consequently strong in God. ar.d when we become one with God our hearts lead us to good tilings. While the Jews have always been numericoily a weak people, yet they have not been afraid, for they knew who was with them." The doctor s.iid in closing that he hoped that the new temple would be a source of creat benefit to its people and that they would be strong in their righteousness, although they were numerically weak, and he knew that If thy perstvered they would overcome everything according to God's promise. Mr. S. Morris Mek, who has a magnificent tenor, sang "There are Angels yet In Heaven." He was supported by an excel lent thoir. Charged with Petty Meullns?.

How He Succeeded in Stealing: Esrcs from Freight Depots.

W. H. Coombs, of S. Douglass street, was arrvsted yesterday by Detectives Arch an 1 Dugan and charged with grand larceny. Coombs was formerly employed by a poultry firm here, and a short time ago started in business for himself. He made frequent trips to tho freight depots to get poultry and eg ss and became familiar with the manner of handling freight business. After opening h!.s own business he would go with his wagon to the depot, drive up to the platforms and then with a pencil and a few checks similar to those given by the checker to the transfer men he would go from one point of the building to another as If looking for some consignment, finally picking out a cast of efcgs, which he would Place on his wagon and drlvo away. A large number of cases have been lost at the several depots, and five from the Pennsylvania depot and six from the Big Four depot were traced to Coombs, who admits the charge and says he has sold the stuff at hotels and boarding houses. SCHOOL BOARD MEETS PUPILS IN THE CITY CANNOT ATTEND TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS. The Mailer Is Brought In by Superintendent Gon Munt Itctreucli in u. Financial Way Teachers Named. Tho question of "transfers" from the city to the township schools occupied the attention of the School Board for a lime last night. Tho matter was brought up by Superintendent Goss, who was seeking In structions. When the city annexed the Riverside Park land it also took in a small pieco of territory noar Emrichsville. which Is iopulated by several families. These people havo always sent their children to tho Wayne township schools, and they de sired to continue doing so, notwithstanding they have a right to receive benefits from tbe city schools. When tho township schools opened this fall nine children from the dis trict referred to applied at the office of the School Board for "transfers" to the town ship schools, and Asalstajit Secretary Relssner, believing ho had tho right, granted them. Superintendent Goss looked up the law, and found the assistant secretary had no authority to Issue these permits. Last night tho wuperintendent brought up tho question before the School Board, and recommended that theso children be not permitted to attend tho Way no township schools. Should they be allowed to do so, tho. city, under the law, would have to pay $1.50 to Wayne township each month for each pupil. The board decided that this would hardly pay. The trustee of Wayne township will be Instructed to permit none of the nine children in question to attend his schools. Commissioner Baker addressed the board on the question of school finances, and de clared that it is of the greatest importance that tho board be as economical as posable. With a view to curtailing expenses, ho in troduced a resolution providing that heitafter, during the life of the present School Board, the superintendent of buildings and grounds, and. in fact, none of the school officials, shall incur any financial liability witnout nrst naving seeurea an order from the board granting such expenditure. The motion was concurred in. Thp following appointments were made last night, on the recommendation of the committee on teachers and salaries: C. D. Campbell, to teach in tho Manual Training ingn scnooi. at a Baiary oz 7MX a year; Hanna Rnhe, director of practice schools. $7r0, Rachel Sheridan, teacher in district schools. K'jO; Linda Schulz, director of practice schools, D. T. Weir, teacher in Manual Training High School, J1.2W. On tho recommendation of Superintendent Goss tho board, by a majority vote, consented to pay Claude Slebenthal. a teacher In the Manual Training High School, $."0 for making a relief map. Tho report of the library committee showed that during the month of October 3i,(Z2 bookd were in cir culation In tho homes of the city. George W. Sloan was appointed a member of tho committee on finance and auditing, to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Commissioner Dickson. A communication was received from tho principal of school No. II, complaining that some or tne rooms in that building aro so badly lighted that on dark davs it is almost Impossible for tho pupils to work after 3 o'clock. Tho superintendent of buildings and grounds will see that these rooms are furnished w ith more light. COPY BOOKS ADOPTED Br the State Hoard After a Few Changes Are Made. The State Board of Education finally adopted the copy book3 yesterday. At the special meeting called for yesterday morning tho report of tho committee appointed to revlso the books reported as follows and tho report was unanimously adopted: "1. Definite instructions were given Eaton V Co. setting forth In detail the corrections which the committee thought advisable to have made. 2. Messrs. Eaton & Co. have, in our opinion, satisfactorily compiled with the instructions of the committee. "3. We wish to accept the proposition of Eaton & Co. to use the revised plates which they have already made in the printing of the following: (a) the word 'Diana, (b) the capitals M 'V and 'V, (c) the final 't' in tho word 'sweet,' (d) the small letter 'j.' and their further proposition to so cnange the position of the top line of ruling in Books 1, 2, 3 and 4 as will make an additional writing space. "4. We beiieve that the books are now ready ler final adoption, and we thereiore move that the proper school oiliccrs of the State and Eaton At Co. be notified that the New Kra system of writing in their present revised form satisfactorily comply with their contract and with the wishes of the State Board of Education." There has been sent out of the books in which the errors appear about IMMXk) copies, and it Is probable mere will be that many more to be printed trora the revised plates. Mr. Eaton says that he will not replace tho books sent eut, as the errors, If there were any. were very trivial. After the books were sent out last fall the state superintendent of public instruction in response to many inquiries wiote to the various parts of the State saying that the copy books had not then been accepted, and if used it would be on their own responsibility. The question of the acceptance of the first books shipped lies between the schools end the copy book company. The board held ti secret meeting, and when Interrogated on the -subject of the copy books would Invariably say that Superintendent Jones was authorized to make public the preceedings of the board. After disposing of the question of the copy books the board resumed the discussion of the examination eiuestion. In Honor of Deceased Bishops.

Yachting: Pnrtles, Endearins Letters and Life in New York Will Fissure Trial Begins Tuesday.

The original complaint In the damage suit of Oliver X. Henry azainst William Henry Harris has been amended and the case will go to trial next Tuesday before Judge Leathers, of tho Superior Court. Henry is suing Harris for $20,000 damages on account of the alleged alienation of the affections of the plaintiff's former wife, who Is now Mrs. Harris. She and her husband reside at the Denlson Hotel. Henry Is a traveling sales man and is engaged in selling harness for a wholesale firm. It is expected the case will be fought with considerable vigor. The plaintiff is represented by the firm of Bar rett, Gardner & Brown. John C. Lecklider and ex-Judge McBrlde will appear for the defendant. Mrs. Catherine Harris, the woman who Is the cause of the present suit, is thirty-sev en years old. She Is tall and good looking. Her present husband Is between fifty and sixty years of age and Is said to be worth considerable money. Mrs. Harris's former husband, Oliver N. Henry, the plaintiff. Is about her own age. Mrs. Harris's maiden nam was Catherine Lemon, but, as set out In the amended complaint, she has always been known to her friends as "Dollic." She was married to Henry in 1SS3, at Cambridge City, where she was quite a social favorite. Her father has lived in this city for a number of years and was living here at the time of he-r marriage. The daughter, however, made her home with her grandmoth er and aunt, at Cambridge City. It is charged that Henry and his young wife we're tenderly devoted to each other and were very happy until Mrs. Henry met William Henrv Harris. In 1ST2. Harris is a man of distinguished arpearance, and, In this line, it 13 claimed, outranks nenry. The comnlalnt does not aver where and how Mrs. Henry and Harris met, but it is charged that the latter soon began to scheme to rob Henry of his wife and ttnally gained her affections. It Is charged that he enticed her away from home and that on his account she visited Detroit. Toieuo, iirooKlyn, Chicago and other cities. Shortly after their marriage nenry ana his wife went to Dayton, O., to live and from there they went to Columbus. From ColumbU3 they came here and lived with Mrs. Henry's father until their separation in November, l&yn. While she lived in Indianapolis Mrs. Henry went out a good deal and was quite popular in the circle In which sho moved. Several women of this city, who knew her Intimately while sho lived with Henry, have been summoned as witnesses. It Is charged that an tne time Harris was Plottintr to cet Mrs. Henry away from hes husband he had a wife living in New York. Henry claims that on Nov. 10, 1S!6, his wife abandoned him and in the following April she procured a divorce from hlra in the Marion Superior Court. He says he did not resist her petition for divorce because he realized that she no longer cared for him. It is claimed that Harris went to Fargo. N. D., and there procured a divorce from his own wire, ana that he and Mrs. Henry were married at Omaha. Neb., in March, ISfS. Harris, it is claimed, has been married twice before. Henry asserts that his ousiness as a traveling salesman kept him from home several weeks nt a time and he, tnerefore, had no knowledge of Harris's scheme. It Is claimed that Henry first began to suspect that he was not first in his wife's affections when a letter was shown him by his father-in-law. The inter was one which Harris had written to Mrs. Henry's father. and In which he confessed his love for Mrs. Henry. Her father, when he received this, showed it to Henry, asking him what it meant. The plaintiff's attorneys have several other letters which were written to Mrs. Harris by some of her women acquaint ances of this city while they were spending some time in New ork. borne or this correspondence may also be Introduced. The plaintiff, with the amended complaint, filed a long list of Interrogatories for Harris to answer. He is asked, among other things, where he first met Mrs. Henry, what presents he ever gave her, and whether or not he ever took ner buggy riding, to the theater or on any sailing excursions. UNIVERSITY EXTENSION. President Pmrls A. Jenkins and Others Address a Meeting;. The proposed university extension which is being brought into existence by the faculty of the University of Indianapolis is meeting with great success in this city. The meeting which was held in the High School hall last night for that purposo was attended by about 200 teachers and pupils. Rev. Burris Jenkins, president of the University of Indianapolis, presided and spoke for some time showing the benefits derived from such a school. He said In part: "Thl9 is a proud day for the University of Indianapolis not because of tho greatness of the enterprise in which we are embarking, but because of its meaning and Its- promise. This is the first step of the college toward intimato relations with the city of Indianapolis; and such a tep is of the utmost significance. The college has long maintained a quie-t and dignified reserve and has takon no pains to make itself known to the city. The time has now arrived; for making known the facilities which it possesses and of which the city of Indianapolis has hitherto not been aware. I believe that the educational forces of this city should be more strongly united and that every possible combination be made and experiment tried in the interest of educational advancement. "This experiment which we are trying here has been tried in, I believe, only one other place the University ot Chicago. That university has been carrying on the work for a few years and with great success. There is no reason, then, with the opportunity offered In this vicinity, why we cannot make it a soicceesi "This consummation is one of tho plans which the university. In cooperation with the school authorities of the city, has set on foot. To build up a school of pedagogy largo enough to meet the real neoda and fill tho schools with better organizes and larger ideals is our aim." Frank Jones, superintendent of public Instruction, next spoke of the needs of such a school in this locailtv and cited many places In this and iurrcurding States where colleges havo been offering large salaries for a competent teacher who can fill all of the requirements of their Institution. And such a course aa outlined by the faculty of the University of Indianapolis needs to be commended and receive proper support. The teachers' college study as proposed bv the university is something which will give the young hif;h school students an incentive for obtaining knowledge which has heretofore been beyond their crasn. Miss Forrest, the teacher who now has charge of the studies, said that it was not for high school students alone that theso studies aro being organized, but for those of tha shops and department stores, who are compelled by their labors to give up those urancnes or science for which their mind craves, and. by registering- their names in Room L, High School building, they will be given attention on the niffhts detfe-nated in tho circulars which will be sent out next week. Already iho university has CM nersons registered who aro anxious to take up tho work. DEATH COMES SUDDENLY. Frank Hurley Expires In nn Outhouse rrofeor. Grnhani'H Death.

A CRY OF DISTRESS

CJoes lp from ' a Speculator In the Cirau Open Seats. A young man wearing good clothes, but a woeful expression, walked Into Birk's cigar store last night and stated that he had forty-eight choice reats for the Grau opera performance at Enshsh's which he would sell at a great discount from tho price he paid and the price asked at tho box office. Ho had twenty-four downstairs Feats and also twenty-four in the balcony, and he was willing to knock off $1 on each one of them from the cost price. He was one of tho two young men who came over from Cincinnati to get rich by speculating in tho opera seats, but he figures his loss at close to $73, and it may run much higher.
