The best way to do this is to have the Journal mailed to you. Leave your order before starting. We will change the address as often as you desire. If it wprr only possible to have the strawboard polluters tried by a Judge and jury of White river fishes! The local Democracy, in Its new role of the decency and reform party, appears like an awkward squad at dress parade. It took a good many years of voting the straight Democratic ticket to develop Mr. Holtaman into a full-blown nonpartisan candidate for mayor. President Roosevelt sets an example which very American father would do well to Imitate by making himself one with his boys in their sports and outings. The news that the two wings of the PopamfcU party have come together may be regarded as '"important, if true." Practically all the feathers were pulled out of these wings long ago. The Journal congratulates the lower-grade teachers on the addition to their salaries. An Increase of $25 a year is not vary large, but it will be very acceptable to the 300 teachers who will receive it. Mr. Holtsman asks Republicans to vote for him on the ground that he will help thorn to et rid of what he calls "the Bookwalter 5ng. " He never helped them to get rid of the much-worse Taggart gang. If the little mistake in the plans of the government building, which will cost Uncle Sam the neat sum of $11,630, had been made for a private corporation, it would either have come out of the fees of the architects or the salary of the officer accepting the plans. How will it be in this case? The traction comiunies that acquired coal fields of th-ir own last year in order to escape another coal famine have formed S corporation to work them. Have they pot heard of the Laporte gentleman that invented a substitute for coal that can be produced at half the cost? One can understand the need for labor unions and the protection they can afford the individual, when he reads the fact that a number of quarrymen employed by a cement plant at Mitchell .r iischarged because they declined to work on Sunday It Is that sort of employers that make the labor union necesaar If. as stated by one of his friends. McCullough was drawn into the mayoralty race on the promise of Ktach that he would be fairly treated by the organization, he surely has reason to believe that he was the victim of very flagrant political treachery. Keah had his candidate picked out long before he was made chairman. Possibly with a good many things "they do netter in France, but it is hardly likely that we have in this country anytning quite so silly as the tax on doors and windows that Is levied In Paris. The American cliffdweller in tho large cities is free to get as much light and air as the circumstances will admit, without psying a tax on it Since the race trouble at Evansvtlle passing steamers find great difficulty in getting roustabouts to handle cargoes. Of Course. If the steamers cannot find labor it wlll not be worth while for them to stop at the town. There are Innumerable unex pected ways and often undetected ways !n which a city suffers from an outbreak of law! nan aas. Merely as a dollars-and-cents proposition It pays a community to that the law is enforced. Hon. W. Bourke Cockran lost no time o nim trrnai m .ew torn in oenylng Wt I A . . m that he Intended to renounce his American citizenship, become a naturalized English man and accept a seat hi Parliament. His friends will be glad to hear It. He makes a very good American, but would make a poor sort of Englishman It Is said, however, that he completely captured an audience by A spear! he delivered on free trade at a stub meeting m London. Mr. Cockran is aa era tor who can invest the driest subject Ith Interest, and his speech on this occa-

sion Is said to have bean, both in matter and manner, a revelation to his English audience. They not only applauded his points, but when be finished they rose In a body end cheered and waved their handkerchiefs for the man who could make them laugh and cry by turns by a plea for free trade. As an American Mr. Cockran is on the wrong side of that question, but he is the ouly Bourke Cockran we have, and we must keep him for emergencies. I

LYNCHERS MI ST BE PI MS II ED. The recent epidemic of lynchings in different parts of the country and especially in portions of the North, in which it is comparatively rare, has caused alarm among good citizens lest we are drifting toward a condition of chronic lawlessness and anarchy. 8uch occurrences are always deplorable and alarming, but notwithstanding their recent frequency there is reason to believe that, upon the whole, they are decreasing. In 1383 there were in the whole country 200 and in 1902 there were only ninety-six. Considering the increase of population in ten years the percentage of decrease in lynchings is quite marked. Thus far in 1903 there have been fifty-two cases reported, indicating that the total for this year will probably not exceed that of last year. This is a terrible record, but there is some room for gratitude in the evidence that this particular phase of crime is not increasing. It can be prevented altogether, and should be. This can be done by a educating public sentiment to a higher moral standard regarding the heiuousness of the crime of murder and to a more insistent demand for the prosecution and punishment of those who participate in lynchings. No matter what crime a man may have perpetrated, those who lynch him are murderers and should be prosecuted and punished as such. Public opinion has been much too lax in the matter of demanding the rigid enforcement of law against lynchers. Good citizens have shut their eyes to the enormity of the crime and prosecutors havt cravenly failed to do their duty in bringing lynchers to justice. The people have been derelict in their duty in not demanding the prosecution and pun ishment of those who participate in mobs. The bar of Danville, 111., has set a good example by pledging its aid in securing the punishment of those who participated in the recent lynching there. They adopted the following resolution: We urge upon the officers charged with the duty of enforcing the law and preserving the public peace the speedy arrest, prosecution and lawful conviction of every person who took part in. aided or encouraged the lynching of Metcalf. While we deplore, and, on the facts as developed. condemn the unjustifiable killing of Henry Gatterman. we hold the criminal law of the State of Illinois complete and ample in its provisions for the proper punishment of all such crimes. That shows the right spirit. In every community the friends of law and order greatly outnumber the advocates of lawless methods, and if the former will do their duty they can create a public senti ment that will make any community too hot to hold lynchers. Lynching can be stamped out If the people will do their duty and compel officers of the law to do theirs. "GRAFT" AM) PUBLICITY. Two entirely separate developments of the boodle caes in Missouri show two dif ferent but common origins of legislative corruption. In the one case the trouble was originated by the agent of a big bakingpowder corporation in the pursuit of the effort of his company to kill off competition by illegitimate mesns. He purchased the n.ictment of a pretended pure-food law. shutting out competitors from Missouri territory, and at subsequent sessions the men he had purchased pursued his company with threats to have the law repealed un less more money was forthcoming. In the other case the "grafters" in the St. Louis municipal legislature deliberately held up a corporation that was going ahead with its business In a legitimate way. In the one case the first step in wrongdoing was taken by a business corporation seeking to corruptly use the State Legislature for a criminal purpose. The law, if enforced, will reach the agent of the corporation and the public officers that were corrupted, but it has no way of reaching the corporation itself, or its officers, unless it can discover some overt act on their part. The crime of these officers is comparatively new, having developed with the present era, and the law has not yet sufficiently defined it. In the second case it Is plain sailing, if only the facts can be proven. To the Journal s mind both these instances point to the great value we may look for from general publicity of corporation affairs. The new law of Congress is not yet in good working order, and it is likely that in future its scope will be so widened that officers representing the people will have the opportunity to examine Wi ry minutely into corporation affairs. When such a time comes it will be very difficult for any corporation to undertake the corruption of legislatures, councils or public officers of any kind, and it will be just as difficult for them to yield to the demand of the "grafter." And. what is fully as important, it will give a corporation the best excuse in the world for denying such demands. BY TlXXEL TO RUSSIA. During the last few years, and especially since the rapid development of Alaska began, there have been occasional hints of the possibility of the construction of a railwayconnecting the United States with Russia, by way of Alaska and the Bering straits. The idea seemed chimerical, but others that seemed quite as much so at the beginning have become realities, and this one may. It has at least taken root in the minds of some practical men. Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock recently received a petition from the Transalaska-Siberian Railway npany for his approval of a route across Alaska to a certain point on the coast, from whence it is proposed to tunnel by the way of certain islands to the Russian coast and connect with the Transsiberian Railway, which Is already completed. The company which has asked for a hearing from the secretary of the interior la composed of French. Russian and American capitalists, and is organized under the laws cf Maine, which are very liberal towards corporations. John G. Healy. of Alaska? "the Klondike millionaire." is one of the Incorporators, and the list Includes the names of prominent European and American capitalists. The petition now in the hands of the secretary of the Interior bears the names of former Solicitor Conrad, of the Department of Justice, and of Attorney Charles H. Aldrich, formerly of Fort Wayne and now of Chicago. These gentlemen would not knowingly lend their names to any "fake" enterprise. The attorneys of the company have asked the secretary of the interior to fix a

day for a hearing when they may appear and fully explain its plans and establish with the department the good faith of the enterprise. It is said th- application to the secretary for a right of way will be followed by an application to Congress for a land grant through Alaska, conditioned somewhat after the Northern Pacific grant. These are the mere outlines of an enterprise which, visionary as It would have appeared a few years ago, has been brought by modern engineering within the limits of possibility. It ta not more difficult than the construction of an isthmian canal or an allr.uiroad connection between the United States and South America, both of which will probably be realized before the middle of the present century. It is quite possible that persons now living will be able to buy a ticket at the Union Station in this city for an all-rail trip to Seattle, Chilcoot, Vladivostok. Moscow. St. Petersburg, Berlin and Paris. The fact that local securities in Indiana have Buffered no decline in, sympathy with those on the New York Exchange has attracted not a little attention from students of financial affairs. Local brokers declare there is a very fair demand for good local securities at the prices listed. This state of affairs sems to indicate that there is plenty of idle money here and no lack of confidence. Another big difference lies In the fact that here securties are bought and sold outright, while in Wall street the transactions are merely in options. That means that most of the "trading" Is mere betting that this or that security will reach a certain price. When men buy their securities and pay for them they are not so readily stampeded. A Joint meeting of the Illiuois and Iowa bankers' associations, held at Rock Island on Tuesday, resulted in a movement to unite the banking interests of the Central Western States for concerted action on the currency question. No special line of action was decided upon, but it is proposed to secure uniformity of action for or against any legislation that may be proposed. Judging from the diverse expressions of bankers on the subject, that will not be easily done. A boom has been started for Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, as the Democratic presidential candidate next year. It is claimed by his friends that Democrats of all factions could unite on him, that while Mr. Bryan would undoubtedly support him, Mr. Cleveland could find no objection to him. As a representative of the fossillferous age Senator Cockrell is quite a decent sort of Democrat, and would make a very suitable person tor the Republicans to beat. Plans have been completed by the Pennsylvania Railroad for the abolition of twenty-fight grade crossings in Cincinnati. The estimated cost of the work is $1.500,000, which will be equally divided between the city and the railroad company except where street-car trackare involved, and in these places the street-railway company pays half of the city's share of the cost. The plan involves the construction of thirteen viaducts and subways. If burglars will only carry off some of the

more conspicuous of that iron "statuary" of Woodruff Place they can doubtless flud enough people of taste to go on their bond.THE HUMORISTS. Plebeian Particularity t Life.

Miers, of Bloomington, mem

ber of Congress from the Second district, who was at the Grand yesterday, sounded tho keynote of the Democratic national campaign next year. According to his views the Democrats will turn scandalmongers and make their war cry, "Turn the rascals out!" He did not say so in so many words, but it amounted to the same thing, for this is tiie way he put it: "The departments at Washington, espe cially the Postoffice Department, should furnish enough campaign material without mentioning other things to enable us to win the contest. The present administration seems to have forgotten that a public office is a public trust." Representative Miers incidentally re ferred to other issues, saying: "The Democratic national platform ought to be con servative, but certainly Democratic, dealing largely with the tariff and in no uncertain tone as to controllina the trusts, declaring in favor of taking the tariff off trust-made articles and in favor of enforcing all the laws against trusts." However, the burden of his mind seemed to be the administration of departmental affairs at Wash ington, as he dwelt at length on that sudject, declaring that a thorough congres sional investigation should be made oi every department. "The minority in Congress will urge a thorough investigation of all the departments during the coming session,'' he said, Many resolutions having thi6 purpose in view will undoubtedly be offered from the Democratic side of the House. The Demo cratic members will be insistent on a congressional h.-nisecieaning, and in my Judgment they will stand as a unit for this end. hat the Republicans w ill do remains to be seen. They may succeed in whitewashing the Postofflce Department sufficiently by the time Congress meets to give the ma jority an excuse to vote down the resolu tions which the minority will offer. I he Postoihce Department is not the only one, in my opinion, that needs an investigation. I thoroughly appreciate the importance of the suggestion that Con gress should make an investigation of this and every other department where there is a suspicion of fraud or crookedness. Mr. Miers ventured the opinion that there will be no special session of Congress, saying that while the administration seems to be considerably interested in Cuban reciprocity he thought it was a great deal more interested in getting a partisan report on the crookedness in the Postofflce Department before Congress meets. Representative Miera indicated that he would not be averse to having the Demo cratic nomination for Governor tendered him next year. While he may not be a volunteer it is apparent that it would be altogether possible to drqft him. "1 am a Democrat." he said, when asked about the use of his name in connection with the gubernatorial nomination. "Any man would be proud to be Governor of the great State of Indiana, but I am in no sense a candidate for the nomination and could not say now that I would permit my name to be ued at all. It is inferred from this and the interview which he guve out at Bloomington recently that Mr. Miers will content himself with being a candidate for renomination and reelection to Congress, unless he sees that he will have another such fight as he had for the nomination last year, In which event he will sidestep and put up his rod for gubernatorial lightning. In speaking of the national Democratic ticket for next year Mr. Miers proposed the combination of Parker and Shively Judge Allen B. Parker, of New York, and Ben sr. smveiy, ot Indiana. XXX There was a glittering galaxy of colonels and majors, members of the Governor's staff, about the hotels laat evening that is, It would have been glittering if the offi cers had been sttired in all their glory of blue and gold regalias. A. G. Lupton, of Hartford City, was at the Denison. while A. L. Bodurtha, of Peru; and S. T. Murdock and Henry W. Marshall, of Lafavete. rounded up at the English. Lupton and Bodurtha are here to pay a visit to the National ciuard camp at the fair grounds, but the Lafayette men merely dropped in on businees. xxx Mr. Bodurtha, by the way, is one of the men who have been mentioned in connection with the secretaryship of the Republican State committee. When he was asked last evening if he is a candidate for the place ho replied that he was giving the matter some consideration, but that he could not be considered an applicant at this time. "I am not thoroughly informed as to the duties attached to the position.'" he said. "I should want to feel first that it is work that I can do and then I should want to consult my friends before I became an applicant." Mr. Bodurtha has had abundant experi ence in political work to qualify him for the place as he has served as chairman of the Miami county Republican committee and is at present a member of the executive committee. He is a newspaper man the editor of the Peru Journal and, of course, has always taken an active part in politics. When he was asked about the probable entrance of James F. Stutcsman Into the race for Uentenant governor or for secretary of state Mr. Bodurtha said he was not definitely informed as to Stutesman's plans, but he understood his fellow-townsman would be a candidate for lieutenant governor. xxx Henry W. Marshall, the speaker of the last House, adheres to his avowal of some weeks ago that he is out of politics for good for better or for wrse, it might be put and that he will not be a candidate for the Legislature or for any other office. He has served three terms in the House. "We haven't much politics over at Lafayette Just now," he said. "Our candidate for Governor is up in Wisconsin on his vacation and our candidate for secretary of state is in Indianapolis all of his time, so there isn't much doing. We expect to furnish plenty of excitement later in the campaign, however, for we're going to nominate both our candidates." Since J. Frank Hanly has gone on his vacation three of the gubernatorial candidates are out of the running for the time being. G. A. H. Shldeler, of Marlon, is at Atlantic City, and W. I. Taylor, of this city. Is in Europe. Newton W. Gilbert, of Fort Wayne, and Union B. Hunt, of Winchester, have the field to themselves now and are doubtless making hay while the weather conditions are auspicious. xxx State Senator John D. Roche, of Mount Vernon, one of the active members of the minority during the last session of the Legislature, was In the city a few hours yesterday on his way home from Baltimore, where he had been in attendance at the national meeting of Elks. Senator Roche is a Democrat of the "regular" brand and he say s there are hundreds like him in Posey county. "Platforms and candidates do not cut a great deal of ice with us." he said, "for we are Democrats always and under all circumstances. We gave Cleveland about ä) majority and then we turned around and gave the same majority to Bryan. Among the presidential possibilities Gorman and Parker are perhaps the favorites In Posey county, although David B. Hill has some warm admirers." The senator is at present secretary of the Democratic district committe in the First and he has been mentioned as a good man for thx: chairmanship, but he says he will not think of being a candidate if the present chairman. John J. Nolan, of Evansville, will consent to serve again. Mr. Nolan said some weeks ago that he expected to retire from politics, but he indicated at the

same time that If the Bryan Democrats should make an effort to secure control of the district organization he mipht conclude to remain in the arena. XXX John E. Clark, former city treasurer and at present a member of the City Council of Marion, is at the English. "There's little politics in Marlon at present," he said last evening, "although we are having a lively time in the CityCouncil Just now over the question of a franchise for a new heat and light company. A citizens' company has been formed that has asked for a blanket franchise coveting ail the streets and alleys of the city. The Council has declined to grant it for the reason that the rights of propertyholders w ?re not sufficiently protected, and as a resuit we are having some little excitement. A committee from the Council will be down here this week to examine Into the franchise granted by Indianapolis to the company here." xxx R. Hrry Miller, of Fairmount. president of the Lincoln League, was at the English last evening. xxx A. M. Scott, of Ladoga, who represented Montgomery county In the lower branch of the State Legislature during the sessions of 1899 and 1901, was here yesterday. In his first session here he was one of the original thirteen legislators who voted for Albert J. Beveridge for United States senator, . and is still loyal to Beveridge. "For a young man, Beveridge has come to the front as well as culd be expected," he said. "If he should not be elected to succeed himself, I hope Governor Durbin will be his successor." xxx S. T. Murdock, of Lafayette, was greeted on all sides last night by inquiries concerning his new automobile and the usual form of the questions was, "How's that new fifty thousand dollar automobile?" "I'd like to know how the story got out that I have been paying such fancy prices for an automobile," protested Mr. Murdock. "Why, if I could sell my machine for half the average amount I am credited with having paid for it, I'd clear a small fortune." As a matter of fact Mr. Murdock recentlypurchased a fine touring car that was built in France for an Eastern millionaire at a cost of about $30,000. He secured it, however, at a bargain-day price. XXX A. G. Lupton, of Hartford City, better known as "Majah Lumpkins" to members of the Governor's staff, is at the Denison. Mr. Lupton has been known as "Majah Lumpkins" ever since the trip which the Governor and his staff made to Cuba. On the trip through the South he had occasion to commission the Pullman porter to look after some little matter, and after he had done it the ebony-hued servant tried to find him to report. Lupton had disappeared, and the porter went through the cars asking each member of the Indiana party, "Wha's Majah Lumpkins?" and as he repeated the performance two or three times the new appellation clung to the Hartford City man and will doubtless follow him for many moons. xxx The news of the death of State Senator Charles A. De Haven, of Kokomo, will come as a great shock to the men who were associated with him during the session of the Legislature last winter and to his numerous other friends over the State. At the time the Legislature adjourned It was known that Senator De Haven's health was poor, but a few weeks later he was back in Indianapolis and seemed to have recovered. He made the trip to St. Louis with the Indiana party at the time of the dedication of the exposition. Senator De Haven was one of the best liked members of the Senate, and was as well a hard and efficient worker, although not one of the most aggressive. He was not conspicuous in debate, but in a quiet wayexercised a great deal of Influence, and in another session, after having served his apprenticeship, as it were, he would have been one of the half dozen leaders. During the last session he was the chairman of the committee on military affairs, but his more Important assignments were on the judiciary, cities and towns and organization of courts committees.

IRON AND STEEL OUTPUT PRODUCTION' LAST YEAR BROKE ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS. Tremendous Boom in the IndustryHeavy Importa of Foundry and Bessemer Pis Iron. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. July 29.-AU previous records for the production of pig iron and steel, as well as consumption, have been broken in the United States during the past year. These facts are brought out in a report by the United States Geological Survey. In the year covered by the report, the total production of pig iron was $15,800,000 tons in the preceding year, and a gain of 4,000,000 tons over the output of 1900. The production last year was almost double that of 1S9I, which shows the tremendous boom enjoyed by this industry. Pennsylvania is easily the leading State in the production of this metal, being credited with about 60 per cent, of the total output of the United States last year. Ohio is second with a production of $3,600,000 tons, and then come Illinois and Alabama. The latter State, by the way, Is steadily increasing its pig iron product and now sends about 1,500,000 tons to market every year. The consumption of pig iron in the past year was naturally larger than in any preceding year. It not only exhausted the entire output of this country, but required considerable imports from abroad. A total of 1!,517.000 tons were used during the year. While the production of pig iron was 1,940.000 tons more last year than in the preceding year, the consumption increased 2,3uO.OuO tons. The imports of iron and steel for the last year were much larger than for any previous year, being about five times as large as they were in 1901, and amounting In all to 1.212.839 tons. Most of the increase was made up of foundry and Bessemer pig Iron. The materials thus imported have a value of $41.000,000. which was a material gain over the figures for the preceding year. While the bulk of exports of iron and steel were not so large as the imports, their value was a great deal more. The tons of pig iron shipped abroad last year numbered 170,000, but their value reached the g-reat aggregate of $97.SO0,J0. The exports of iron and steel more than doubled In value from 1S97 to 1900, but there was a shrinkage In value 1901 as compared with 1900, of $27,OOo.OOO or over 20 per cent. JOHN E. MONK. PALACE CAR TO BE SOLD. Has Been Used Oaly by a Porter and Hia Wife for Two Years. NEW YORK. July 29. A receiver was appointed in the Chancery Court at Newark. N. J., for a single palace car. It is called the Boston, and at the time it was built was known as one of the finest in existence and was exhibited widely. Later it became famous by remaining sidetracked for almost two years near Springfield, Mass.. while the question of its ownership was being fought out in the courts. All that time a colored porter and his wife stuck to the car. The litigation grows out of a transfer made to a New Englander, who holds a mortgage on the property, and the court has instructed the receiver, whose bond was fixed at $10,000, to sell the coach.

Lecture by Dr. Becker on the Possibilities of the Human Brain. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ROME CITY. Ind.. July 29.-Mrs, Mary E. Hitchcock continued her interesting roundtable talk at Island Park Assembly this torenoon, using as a subject "The Klondike Explorer." The greater part of the day was devoted to fraternal societies. John E. Wiley, state lecturer for the United Workmen, delivered an address relating to his order. Mr. Merrill E. Wilson, of Elkhart, talked on Pythianism, and others represented the Maccabees, Odd Fellows, Knights of Columbia and Rathbone Sisters. Last evening the entertainment at the auditorium included a solo by Miss Grace Wyatt, entitled "Oh, on a Summer's Day," a cornet solo by Mr. Jesse Nixon, and a bass solo, entitled "The Vanguard of the K;ng." by Mr. Ernest Bilby, of Muncie. Each number was encored a selection in response was given. Mr. Ellsworth Plurnstead made his first appearance of a five days' engagement here during the evening. His specialty is that of impersonations and character representations. The lecture of Dr. Becker on "We and Us Us Three" was a study of the manifold functions and possibilities of the human brain. He said in part: "Dr. J. StanleyGrimes, one of the greatest scientists of the age, especially in the psychological sciences, asserts that there He within the cranium organs undeveloped which later may reach a period of evolution thrt will enable the mind to make discoveries within its own realm and within the realm of material creation of which we cannot now have knowledge for want of proper faculties with which to discern them. Notice this remarkable man he possesses a sufficient number of faculties to hold a congress, a convention, a scientific college, a religious convocation, and have within himself delegates enough to elect a president, secretary, executive committee and committee on programme, and proceed to business, discussing, respectively, every essential principle which mig;ht be suggested and form intelligent conclusions such as would meet the approval of mankind everywhere. His lmitativeness would suggest the doing of that which, even if another constructed it, performance would not be impossible. His kindness would inspire confidence of an unselfish purpose. His submissiveness would limit action such as another would not wish to be forced harshly to obey. His credenciveness would not impose incredulity upon his fellows. His veneration would regard God and Hl6 works with due respect. His hope would crowd upon man the happy anticipations of fruitful reBults for every noble act of his life. Other faculties would contribute to the deliberations and fill the volume of the secretary's record with matter so useful as to commend them to the general public for utilitarian purposes in every department of life." To-morrow will be Sunday-school rally day. and another large attendance Is expected. In the afternoon there will be a lecture by Col. George W. Baine upon the subject. "Boys and Girls. Nice and Naughty; or, the Pendulum of Life." r P1E LAKE ASSEMBLY. An Elkbart Pnator Pays Hia Reapecta to Christian Science. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAPORTE, Ind.. July 29. Interest continues unabated at the Pine Lake Chautauqua, while the attendance continues to grow at each session. The programme this year is better than ever, while matters of more than usual attraction have been brought out for discussion. The Rev. E. W. Lounsbury presided at the conference on worldwide missions this afternoon. Interesting facts regarding the mission fields of India and Africa were given by different speakers. .The lecture that has probably attracted the greatest attention was that of the Rev. E. H. Emmett of Elkhart on Christian Science. The speaker said that this is preeminently an age of fads, deceits and delusions. In front of us wearing the garments of our Lord, but denying his personality and power is a regiment headed by Mrs. Eddy. Under the pretense of laboring in the Interests of Christian'ty themselves they administer blow after blow against the old book and against the Christ. Christian Science is simply a bad mixture of Pagan philosophy and self-hypnotism, dressed In the robe of Christianity, he dedeclared, and when Mrs. Eddy declares that matter does not exist when she denies the existence of a personal God. she announces her belief in what is known in theology as pantheism. The concert this evening, under the direction of Prof. C. R. Parker, of Franklin, was largely attended and was participated in by the many excellent musicians in attendance at the assembly. The W. C. T. U. section of the Pine Lake Chautauqua assembly has elected the following officers: Mrs. B. G. Young, Michigan City, president; Mrs. S. M. Pease.
