WORK OF A CONFERENCE

GERMAN" LUTHERANS ADJOIRX AT LAPORTE AFTER SESSIOX. tfenuucintlon of Public Schools Has - Excited Much Comment Further Action of Conference. Special to-the Indianapolis Journal. LAPORTE, Ind., Oct. 9. The German Lutheran Conference has adjourned, after an exciting and interesting session of three days. The denouncing of the public schools has attracted much attention, the matter having been taken up by the defenders of the free schools. At a later session of the conference the question was again touched on, but much more lightly. It was declared that in the public schools the conscience of the child is killed, while the parochial school Is as much part and parcel of the church as a branch is of a tree. The religious conviction, the fear of God, must become so firmly rooted, must so permeate a child, that it is like bone and muscle to the body. A child is naturally inclined to evil, and an antidote must be given, and the only thing which will serve Is the divine wisdom. What has been taught ä child in its infancy will, in most cases, cling to it, even though it become deprayed. The conference decided that the years of temptation are from fourteen to twenty years. Christian physicians and lawyers are needed. Considerable feeling has been stirred up la the city over the action of the clergymen. Considerable attention was given to a consideration of the mission work that Is being done within the conference. The reports showed that at Swanton, Archbold and Ottakee, O., the results have" not been very encouraging, although the work has been done iu a satisfactory manner by the missionary, the Rev. J. Ruff. The English mis sion in Auglaize county Is served by the Rev. F. Kiees, of Wapakoneta, O. The mission at Lima, O., was founded less than a year ago, but the outlook is very promising. The Rev. R. Brenner Is the pastor. The synod will provide the funds for a church building. The congregation at Decatur, Ind., which is. being served by the Rev. J. Klauslng, is making good progress. The congregation was recently presented a neat edifice by the neighboring congregations of Adams county. In Allen county mission work is being conducted in the Home for the Feeble-minded, the county infirmary aud the summer resort at Rome City. A society has been organized In the county to receive orphans, and during the past year sixty waifs were cared for. Mention was made that a suitable site has been found at Fort Wayne for a Lutheran hospital, for which $17,000 was voted. The Rev. T.

He Give Pronounced View in the Illinois Conference. Special to thft Indianapolis Journal. PARIS, 111., Oct. 9. "A man with more than one living wife is unfit to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and ' we have no place for him In the African Methodist Episcopal Church," was tho declaration made by Bishop Abraham Grant when the case of the Rev. N. M. Farrls, of Sparta, was brought before the Illinois Conference being held in this city and the erring brother lost hl3 ministerial frock so far as this conference is concerned. The expounder of the gospel had entered the matrimonial market for the third time, which is contrary to the teaching of his church, hence he was duly tried and expelled. Farrls Is now believed to be in Milwaukee, where he was married to his third wife by a Justice -of the peace after a minister of his own denomination had refused to officiate at his wedding. Bishop Grant delivered a talk in which he said there Is getting to be entirely too much divorcegetting in this country and the time has come to a halt. He thinks that as in other things it is necessary for the minister to take the lead in this matter, and only be separated from a wife by death., Cairo has been selected as the place for holding the next Illinois Conference, iu September, 1904.

NORRISTOWN, Pa., Oct. 9.-The General Council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, in session here, after discussing the divorce Question, to-day passed resolutions declaring the dissolution of marriage bonds "a crime against God that cannot be mitigated or apologized for by any defects of the civil laws or any lowering of the stand ard prescribed In God's word on the part of the community around them, or those who may be regarded leaders of public opinion.

Former Chancellor of the Exchequer's Speech on Free Trade Xot Rel- s ished by All Hearers. LONDON, Oct 9. Mr. Ritchie, member of Parliament for Croydon and until recently chancellor of the exchequer, delivered a speech this evening on free trade and the reasons for his resignation, before an audience of 4,000 persons at Croydon town hall. A large Liberal element waa present. The reception of Mr. Ritchie was decidedly not harmonious, consisting of cheers, hoots and counter cheers for Joseph Chamberlain. The speaker later precipitated a scene of dUorder by declaring that Mr. Chamberlain had been inconsistent because he upheld free trade while president of the Board of Trade and protection while colonial secretary. Mr. Ritchie said that as chancellor of the exchequer he could not consent to a fiscal revolution and the overturning of the policy of his conservative predecessors on the strength of the arguments of Mr. Chamberlain, "whose strong point always was his ability to present any scheme he championed in ths most favorable light." The former chancellor of the exchequer felt convinced that the present preferential proposals were merely an entering wedge, which would ultimately land the country in the same position as Germany, where food taxes had driven the worklngmen to socialism." Continuing, Mr. Ritchie asserted that one of the principal questions to be considered was the attitude of the United States. This country must try to guard against giving the United States any cause for resentment, which would result in her punishing Canada. The above statement resulted in fresh disorder on the part of the audience and the singing of "Rule Britannia." Mr. Ritchie concluded with a 'statement to the effect that he opposed with all his strength the "new mysterious policy which was ravaging the country like an epidemic." The speaker resumed his seat amid a scene of disorder, and a vote of thanks was ultimately carried amidst boisterous shouts and hooting. TILLMAN TESTIFIES AGAIN.
