Utaur IIxprrmioii! of Goml "Will Mr. Mitchell Repone . The dinner crved to Mr. Mitchell In the r.rdinury of the Grand Hotel last night was Intended as an entirely Informal repast. The dinner was served to fifty pucsts nt a Ions table, ut the head of which were reated Mr. Mitchell and Chairman Feltman. The ether guests were members of the reception committee, a .number of trades unionists from the Central Labor Union and additional representatives from the Elks lodge and from th business men of tha r.ItV. After the banquet Chairman Feltman addressed Mr. Mitchell on behalf of organized labor and told him of the high regard In which he is held by the workir.gmen of Indianapolis. lie said the name of Mitchell Is as well known In Indianapolis as the names of men who have been great before lilm. The laboring men, he said, not alone held the view that he was great in couraso and goodness, but the. same opinion prevailed among the citizens of the city generally. The business men of the city and fellow lodge members of the guest, Mr. Feltman said, had shown their appreciation of his visit and all did - him honor and Fought to make his coming to the city a welcome one by uniting in planning a reception in his honor. Mr. Feltman introduced Mortimer Levering, who on behalf of the city ef Indianapolis and in the absence of Mayor Bookwalter, welcomed Mr. Mitchell to Indianapolis. "The people of Indianapolis are proud to have you here to-night, Mr. Mitchell." said Mr- Levering. 'The business men of this city have followed your career with interest and your actlonH in the recent strike have proved to us that you are a man of more than ordinary ability. I believe in raying good things about a man before he has left us if wo have anything good to say of him. If wo think well of a fellow we should let him know it before he dies Instead of waiting until we have gathered, at his funeral to express our affection for him. HAS WON RESPECT. "You. Mr. Mitchell, have won our reepect. You have not disappointed those of us who might have, at the beginning of the struggle, entertained some doubt as to how you would come out of it. There were eighty millions of people In the United States who had eyes on you when a commission was Anally appointed to arbitrate the grievances of the strikers and the complaint of the mine operators that their mines were not allowed to run. We saw In front of you the opposition of some of the brightest financiers of the East. The socalled coal barons had lawyers of great ability to fight .their battle, and it was the opinion of many people who had an Interest in the outcome that they had secured them for no other purpose than to attempt to hold you up to ridicule to the people of the country. "You were to be trapped and tied before the arbitration commission and were to come out of the contest a beaten labor leader. But you were not. You presented the miners' side of the disagreement with the same cool-headednesa and sense with which you proscuted. the strike. In the strike you were the "one obstacle in the way of lawlessness and violence and in the Investigation you were the one obstacle In the way of a one-sided Investigation. You demonstrated, t think, conclusively to the people of the United States that the miners were striking in a righteous cause and you also demonstrated that the conclusions of the coal barons as to your ability were wrong. "After you had Jone those things, Mr. Mitchell, you had another surprise In Etoro for many people. You were not carried off your feet by your popularity. Your widespread popularity did not make you conceited, and by this you have earned the respect of many men who know little of Jabor unions and who have made little effort tt learn anything of them. "Mr. Mitchell, you have made more friends .oirf.iizei .labor ny your conduct of .-s'rlke and your personal actions since it wa fortunately ended than all of the strikes and arguments ever prosecuted and WEATHER FORECAST.

advanced before. I congratulate you on your return and cordially welcome you to Indianapolis." After Mr. Leverlncr had snoken Chairman

I Feltman Introduced Gustave Kevers, exaltt cd ruler of the local lodge of Elks, who on behalf of his order welcomed Mr. Mitchell. J Mr. Kevers said he could but echo the senti ments expressed by Mr. Levering and coincided with everything he had said, but he would furnish additional reasons for the esteem in which Mr. Mitchell is held by the Elks. He said Mr. Mitchell was known personally to his brother lodge members and popular with them more for the reason that they liked him personally than that he had successfully prosecuted a great coal miners' strike. This achievement, he said, served to Increase their admiration for him as a labor leader and to Impress on them the principles of benevolence and charity as he had well exemplified them In the courage and firmness of his attitude for the betterment of his fellow-men. Chairman Feltman In a few words ex pressive of personal pleasure and gratification at being permitted to introduce him, called on Mr. Mitchell for a response to the greetings extended. MR. MITCHELL RESPONDS. When Mr. Mitchell arose to reply he was applauded for several minutes, and when the "applause had subsided he said: "Mr. Chairman, Brothers and Gentlemen I have learned many things In the last five years, but have not learned yet how to make a speech. I have tried on several occasions to make a speech and each timo have proved satisfactorily to myself, at least, that I am not an orator. It seems to be the American idea that when a man gets so famous that his name appears In the newspapers daily that he must be an orator and he Is expected to make a speech at every opportunity. By the way, the American idea of fame 13 as varied as it is eccentric. I will relate a few Incidents of my trip through the anthracite district that impressed this fact upon my mind. "I had been invited to address a meeting of miners at Shamokln in Pennsylvania. I went to the little town and when I arrived found that the plans for the evening's celebration included a parade in which ten thousand miners were to march. Few people knew that I had arrived and my presence was unknown to a majority of the people waiting to see me. In order that I might get to my proper place in the parade the carriage In which I was to ride a gaudily bedecked and bannered open carriage, which from the 'elaboration of its decorations could not be mistaken for any other than that of John Mitchell was driven in a round about way through an alley to my position in the line. On the way we had to pass through a crowd of about five hundred breaker boys and were nearly through the crowd when we wero discovered. One little boy shouted to his companions and pointing to me said; There goes Mitchell, and feebly cheered. A com panion contemptuously shrugged his shoul- I ders and In a tone meant to discredit the other's statement, said: Oh, pshaw; 'talnc neither. Why, my brother ie bigger'n that feller That shows how differently fame is measured. "An incident that proves that I am no speechmaker occurred in a little Pennsylvania town where I had been billed to speak. A great crowd was present, and in one of the front seats I noticed a middleaged man who looked as though he might be somewhat intoxicated. I. started my talk and he went to sleep. After I had struggled through about twenty minutes of my speech and had recovered from stage fright and thought I was getting along first rate a telegram was handed me which stated that my presence was necessary in Scranton Immediately. I had little time in which to catch a train, and started to explain to the audience why I would have to disappoint them, when the old man arose and Just as I had said I would close he exclaimed: 'I wish you would. We came here to hear John Mitchell." A DIFFICULT TASK. "But to become serious. To live up to the standard set for me would indeed be a difficult task. I am afraid that there Is a mistaken impression of me. I am not the Instigator of strikes and lockouts and violence some persons think me. Strikes and lockouts are repugnant to me. I do not believe in them, and sincerely hope the day will como when we shall have no more of them. I do not believe, however, that the laboring men of this country should surrender their right to strike when they feel they are not being treated fairly. I am not one of those who believe that there Is such. a division and antagonism between labor and capital that it cannot be reconciled. With an abiding faith in God, the people can solve the problem and thero need be no more strife between the two classes. I am glad that the higher and better men of to-day have begun to believe these facts, and have not given up the hope of a reconciliation between labor and capital after a disagreement has arisen between them. "I shall be glad to believe that the anthracite coal miners' strike has dispelled much of the prejudice against the workingmen. I shall be glad, indeed, if the anthracite strike has done anything to reStore peace and good will between the employer and the employes of the mines. "Gentlemen, I thank you for this reception. It is pleasing indeed to me to find such a hearty good feeling for me. Your courtesy will always be remembered by me, and I thank you for it." TO-NIGHT'S RECEPTION. Labor Will Welcome the Mine. Workers President. To-night labor will have a demonstration in honor of Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell will be escorted from the Grand Hotel to Tomlinson Hall. The parade will be in charge of Edgar A. Perkins and will march through Illinois, Washington and Delaware streets from the hotel to the hall. Tomlinson Hall has been decorated for the occasion and the ceremonies will Include music. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, did not reach the city yesterday, but is expected this evening at 6:30 o'clock. Mr. Gompers was detained at Washington by a meeting of the execu tive committee of the American Federation of Labor. The programme at the hall includes addresses by John L. Feltman, Mayor Bookwaiter, President Gompers. President Lynch, of the International Typographical Union; Secretary Wilson, of the United Mine Workers; S. M. Sexton, editor of the Mine Workers' Journal, and T. L. Lewis, vice president of the mine workers. Delegations of union men from near-by cities, principally from the gas belt, are expected. One of the larpest crowds ever assembled in Tomlinson Hall is anticipated by Chairman Feltman. A detail of police will be on hand to keep order In the crowd, and a corps of ushers from Central Labor Union will arrange for seating the people. Admission lo the hall will be. free, but on the stage, where the reception committee will be seated, admission will be secured by card. Warmly Heeelved nt Richmond.1 Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Jan. IS. John Mitchell, who passed through Richmond this afternoon, was given an enthusiastic reception. There was a large crowd at the depot, and the demand for a speech was so strong that Mr. Mitchell finally yielded and spoke briefly. He said he was glad to see the sympathy of Richmond people with the cause he represents and that he fully appreciated the manifestation in his honor. He predicted a successful outcome of labor's cause. His speech was greeted with much applause. The crowd was so large that the railroad employes had much trouble in gettins the train mado up. "WIRELESS" CHESS MATCH Played on the I.neanln and Philadelphia, Roth We mi Round. NEW YORK, Jan. IS.

Lockwood on "The Christian Collesce' at De Paur. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENCASTLE, Ind., Jan. lS.-Founders and Benefactors' day for De Pauw Univer sity was observed yesterday by an all-day holiday and in a continuance of the celebration exercises were held in Meharry Hall this afternoon. Musical numbers were rendered by Miss Dletrichson, of the Do Pauw School of Music faculty; Miss Pavey, the De Pauw male quartet and the De Pauw Guitar and Mandolin Club. The address of the afternoon was by George B. Lockwood, of Marion, a member of the De Pauw class of 1S04. On the platform also was Mr. Alfred E. Dickey, of Indianapolis, also a member of the '91 class, who has just given $2.500 for the endowment of a biological laboratory for the university. He was introduced by President Gobin as "De Pauw's latest founder and benefactor." In his address Mr. Lockwood said: "'Social betterment,' says Hugh Black, 'in any true sense, as more than the mere rearrangement of external conditions, can only como from Individual character and intellect. The production of this is a primary duty, even for the sake of others. A. man's contribution to society will mean all the riches and resources of his nature, his heritage of race and personal capacity and education.' The Christian college; what of its relation to the twentieth century and its overshadowing problem the problem of social adjustment? The Christian college Itself is within Itself an expression of the very spirit" of altruism which must save the world for a iiigher civilization if it is saved at all. It stands for the spirit of self-sacrifice which humanity is now demanding in leadership as it steers toward channels new and horizons strange. Peculiarly true is this of this Institution of ours. It was founded by men, many of whom had themselves been denied the boon of higher education, but who loved not only their own generation but generations yet unborn. Under the afternoon shadow of the west college there lies the dust of a pioneer preacher who deprived himself of the very necessities of life that this institution might live; who rode through trackless forests thousands of weary miles, everywhere pleading the cause of the little college at Greencastle, which, through the years to come, was to typify the zeal for humanity that spurred him on. Who shall say that De .Pauw University is not richer in the heritage of heroic sacrifice like that of Bishop Roberts and those who have in succeeding years given to the Institution generously of their lives or of their fortunes, than It could be through the benefactions of a Rockefeller or the munificence of the State? The church college stands for the truth which made men free, but it stands also for an altruism on the diffusion of which throughout the world depends society's salvation." CHURCH MILITANT. Its Representative L'se a Pistol 0 Handily on a Burly Tramp. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BEDFORD, Ind., Jan. IS. The Rev. A. C. Erwin, shepherd of the Presbyterian flock of this city, proved to-day that he has no conscientious scruples against handling a revolver in a businesslike manner.

She was suddenly seized from behind by a burly man, who looked like an ordinary tramp. He demanded that she give him the keys of the house and that she keep from crying out. The girl, badly frightened, called lustily for help. The preacher appeared at the door In a dressing gown,-fresh from the composition of a night rermon. He took in the situation and ran for. his revolver. The tramp saw that the church militant might prove dangerous and took to his heels. As he cleared the back fence the preacher again appeared at the door with leveled revolver. He pulled the trigger three times as the girl's assailant disappeared. The f.ylng tramp cried out, so it is supposed he. was hit. The shooting drew a crowd to the house, and the preacher was congratulated by members of his flock for being "handy" with a "gun."

BRILL AND STRONG WON DEFEATED GRAFF AXD PRITCHETT BY A MARGIN OF 209. Chicago Bowlers Averaged Over 40O In Ten Games Graff Successful, with Loaded Ball Scores. A two-man team from Chicago defeated an Indianapolis team in a bowling match of ten games at the City Club's alleys yesterday afternoon before a crowd that filled all Jhe available space. Frank H. Brill, the individual champion of 1901, and Fred Strong, individual champion of 1902, composed the Chicago team, and Lee Graff and Jesse Pritchett the Indianapolis team. The total score was 4,091 to 3,883, in favor of the Chicago team. When it is considered that the team average of the Chicago bowlers in the ten games was 409 1-10, and ' the Indianapolis team average was SS8 3-10, it can be easily realized that the bowling was far above the average. Both Chicago bowlers averaged over 200 in the ten games, while Graff averaged a fraction over 193 and Pritchett a fraction over 132. The Indianapolis bowlers were more unfortunate in making breaks and splits which resulted in their average being lower. In the ten games there were 1D5 strikes and 146 spares. William Schlake umpired the games. Graff and Pritchett had one foul each called on them for slipping over the line and this affected their scores in those games. Graff started the match with a ball he has used for some time, as) he explained that he was trying to use a lighter ball.
