Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SOUTH BEND. Ind.. Oct. 8 -The faculty board of athletic control at Notre Dame presented the second dose of disappointment to the rooters last night, when Farragher was disqualified from playing on the "varsity this season. Farragher left school at the beginning of the Christmas vacation last year and did not resume class work until this fall. He put up a strong game at tackle last season and football enthusiasts rejoiced when he pulled in about ten days ago. There were big holes in the line and he was counted on to fill a large place. He is one of the best tackles that ever played on a Notre Dame eleven, but the action of the board is final and his playing out of the question. His return, however, will be to the team's advantage, as he will work with the scrubs, and while giving the line sme hard practice, will contribute his experience to developing the tackles. With the setting of Farragher's star, that of Gillen rises to prominence and his appearance on the field to-day in uniform was hailed with delight. He was worked at his old position at guard and ran signals with the 'varsity. He will be a powerful addition to the team and with Farragher in the line, would not cause so much trouble for Capt. Salmon. As the day wp.s very warm the men were given a fast s'.gnal practice, lined up quickly and sent Into the formations with speed. Draper and Fisher are being given lots of work and will probably figure in Saturday's game with Lake Forest. Nyere was out to-day. Nyere was out after several days' lay-off. Beacom's work Is a feature, and if he gets freshman standing in time, will have no difficulty in making the team. Richmond High School Gamei. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND.

Charles D. Gates, of New York, is said to be the promoter. The Kellys have always stood out and fought the ax combination. They have been able to do so successfully on account of the cheap fuel afforded them bv being situated in the natural-gas belt.

A NOTABLE ANNIVERSARY

REV. DR. II. L. VAM YS'S EXTENDED PASTORA'JE AT GOSHEN. He Ha Served a Presbyterian Church Fifty Years A Memorable Event to Be Fittingly Observed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GOSHEN. Ind.. Oct. 8. A notable event here is the joint jubilee anniversary of the First Presbyterian Church and of Its pastor. Rev. Hervey L. Vannuys, D. D., In celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of both church and pastor. Rev. Dr. Vannuys never had any other regluar charge and the local church has never had any other pastor. Excepting in 1877, when Dr. Vannuys toured Europe and the Holy Land, he has never even been absent any great length of time. So memorable Is this event In church history that the Presbyterian Synod of Indiana did the Goshen congregation and pastor the honor of appointing its annual meeting here, Oct. 13-15, and has so arranged its programme as to give special prominence to this unusual and delightful anniversary, by giving parts of two of the three days of its sessions to its celebration. Tuesday afternoon will be given to Rev. Dr. Vannuys's anniversary sermon and to the congratulations of the Synod by brethren of especial long and intimate relation to the pastor and people of the church. Ambrose Y. Mcore. D. D., of Hanover College, will speak in behalf of southern Indiana; Rev. Leon P. Marshall, D. D., of Franklin, for central Indiana, and Rev. Charies Little, D. D.. of Wabash, for northern Indiana. Other parts of the Synod's public exercises are also arranged to correspond with the life of the church and pastor In periods of "fifties." "The Presbyterian Church During the Last Fifty Years" will be the theme of Rev. John Dixon, D. D., of New York, assistant secretary of the Board of Home Missions, on Tuesday evening, and "The Foreign Field During the Last Fifty Years" the topic for an address by Rev. A. Woodruff Halsey, D. D., of New York, assistant secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, on Wednesday evening. Wednesday afternoon will be devoted to addresses on what can be expected In the next half century, "The Next Fifty Years in the Individual Church," by Rev. J. Cummlng Smith. D. D., of Indianapolis; "In Our Country," by Rev. Harry N. Mount (son of the late Gov. Mount), of Connersville. and "Throughout the World," by Rev. Henry Webb Johnson. D. D., of South Bend. The Synod did a like honor to the Goshen church twenty-five years ago. In 1877, when it met here and assisted in celebrating the quarter century anniversary in the history of church and pastor. That was then considered a memorable occasion. Rev. Harvey Logan Vannuys. D. D., is a native of Kentucky, having been born in Shelby county In that State on Nov. 3, 1829. He was one of four sons of Teunis Vannuys. who was of Dutch and Holland blood, and Katy (De Maree) Vannuys descended from the French Huguenots. His parents early crossed the Alleghenies from New Jersey, settling near Lexington, Ky. When this son was still quite young the parents moved to Franklin, then a small place twenty miles south of Indianapolis. He was fitted by private tutor to enter college and was graduated from Hanover College, near Madison. Ind., in 1848. He then entered the Theological Seminary of Princeton, N. J., and was graduated la May. 1852. He would have graduated with his class a year later, which would have placed him in the pulpit before he became of age, but this not being according to his estimate of the dignity of his high chosen calling, he sacrificed his class association and the personal honor of being the young est graduate of that venerable institution and retired for a year, spending his time in private study on lines not included in a theological college course, then returned to complete his college work, and was thus graduated and entered the pulpit as a man. He turned to the West as his field of labor, first going to Constantine, Mich., to visit an old friend, the Rev. S. C. Logan (now pastor of a Presbyterian Church of Scranton, Pa., where he has been for over twenty-five years.) This was In June, 1852, and finding that Rev. Logan had arranged to be married and wanted Rev. Vannuys to fill his pulpit during July, he gladly took the assignment, first visiting his home at Franklin. Ind., making the trip from South Bend to Indianapolis by stage. The young graduate, after the return of Rev. Logan, preached In Centerville, Three Rivers and other Michigan towns, before attending the Indiana Synod at Lafayette. Passing through Elkhart he learned there was a Presbyterian Church there but no pastor, a Methodist circuit preacher filling engagements at the church. He was invited to preach every 1 st li rv Ciit-irlov at tVile rhurch until t V im lit i k) u i n ui i v i , i - ii .ii ii VIIMethodist minister's term expired and then take full charge. Ho preached his first sermon In Elkhart early in October, 1852. About the same time he was asked by Thomas G. Harris, a Goshen lawyer, to come to this place and preach, the church here having no pastor. He came to Goshen Oct. 21. 1852. and the next afternoon preached his first sermon in the courthouse, the old church (formerly a schoolhouse and considered a fine structure) being abondoned to such an extent that a flock of sheep had found shelter in the building. This house of worship with the former front, now the rear, and with a more imposing entrance, with steeple added, is now used by the Trinity Lutheran congregation on South Fifth street in this city, the interior furnishings never having been changed, the pews, etc., remaining the same. The present place of worship was dedicated in April, 1863, having cost about $12,000. During the past summer it has been expensively remodeled, redecorated and beautified in the interior, particularly for this jubilee occasion. T-ne church membership started with fourteen, and has grown steadily each year. Almost a thous and persons have been received Into the communion of the church, and yet only on four occasions have the services of an evangelist been employed. The church has been throughly harmonious all these years, with never a break of unity. Rev. Dr. Vannuys has married hundreds of people, the first couple he married, Mr. and Mrs. Ellas Gortner, si ill being members and workers In his church. For this couple and others whom he has married he baptized their little ones and later baptized their babes also. He has ministered not only In his own church, but for the community in general In such a way as to greatly endear himself to all the citizens of Goshen. In stature he Is not large, but he has responded to great physical requirements. He possesses that quiet dignity which universally attracts. He is scholarly to a high degree, and gentleness, dignity and deep spirituality are the keynotes of his character. He has ever shunned sensational preaching In all Its phases and avoided even the suggestion of what is popu'arly known as "magnetism" to increase his congregation and "popularize''' his services. Dr. Vannuys was married in 1858 at Lima, Ind., to Miss Rebecca Williams, who died In 1869. In 1871 he married Miss Lily W. Loring. a sister of Mrs. S. C. Logan, of 8cranton, Pa. She is a brilliant scholar and has been a cheerful and helpful assistant to her husband in his church work, though an Invalid for many years. Their home is childless. Rev. Dr. Vannuys was given the degree of A. B. and A. M. by Hanover College In 1848 and 1852. respectively, and that of D. D. by Wabash College In 1881. Army Orders. WASHINGTON. Oct. 8.

A mining engineer out In Mansfield, Mo., tells of hi experience with coffee. He aays: "Up to the year 1896 I had always been accustomed to drinking coffee with my breakfast each morning. In the summer of that year I developed a severe case of nervous prostration and 1 took several courses of treatment for it In Toronto, Buffalo and New York city without obtaining any permanent benefit. "One of the most trying manifestations of the malady was a condition of nervous excitement In which 1 found myself everyday during the forenoon. It never occurr i to me to attribute this to coffee until I read an advertisement of yours last fall describing a case similar to my own which had received benefit from the use of Postucn Cereal Food Coffee. I at once changed my breakfast beverage from Java and Mocha to Postum and the effect was nothing short of marvelous. After using It less than a week I was free from morning attacks and In six months all my nervous sympton.s had disappeared. "I have demonstrated the fact that by following your directions in making Postum Food Coffee any one can obtain as ru h a cup of coffee from Postum as from any of the Imported brands, and may rest assured that they will escape the Injurious effects of coffee and experience much benefit from the use of Postum.'
