The Democratic E'ite Convention assembled here at noon and was called to order by Colonel J. Btoddard Johnson, chairman of the State Central Committee. Over 700 delegates were present, and Litderfcranz Hall was crowded to overflowing by these and over 2,000 spectators. A temporary organization was effected by electing Hon. Samuel E. Hill, of Stanford, chairman, who appointed tne xeernlar committees. Vr'hile the committees "were oat calls uere made for speeches. Mr. Henry W atterson entered the hall, end bein recognized on the outskirts of the crowd, was received with great en.tb.uBiasm. ilr. Watterson was escorted to the stand amid continuous cheeriDf?. The following are tome of the salient points of his jspeech: 'Karely in the history of the politics of the country has there been greater need of Eome vitalizing current in Democratic counsels than there now is, and where shall We loot to find this vitalising current if sot in Kentucky ? The only diaticct line of Democratic policy which at this time awakens the enthusiasm of friends and ex cites the denunciation of foes is everywhere descriDed as the 'Kentucky idea.' I Cheers. And what is the Kentucky idea? It is, as far as I am able to interpret it (and if there be anything I do understand, as the old woman said of her 'bluin', ' it is the Democracy of Kentucky) great laughter ; it is a sturdy clinging to the idea that government belongs to the many, and is not tbe exclusive property of the few applause, and an obstinate insistence that ' this idea shall be carried into every administrative and legislative affair, and applied alike to the sell anointed and the great unwashed. Laughter and applause. 'Fellow -Democrats, we have stumbled upon times which, if they do not try men's souls, are enough to nauseate dogs. Laughter. Turn whichever way you will, it shall go lucky with you ii you do not Stick your noee in a bottle of patent medicine prepared for the regeneration of m inkind. The air is full of nostrums. There is the protectionists' wonderful iron tonic for making men rich by taxation. Great laughter. There is the mugwumps ciyil eeivice elixir for purifying the system and perpetuating liberty by the erection of representative government. Cheers. There is fraud's own pauper patriotic liniment, which proposes to exterminate vagabondage by making every tramp a pensioner cheers and confined laughter, and which we should have actually had administered to ns but for the fly which Grover Cleveland dropped into the first box of the ointment submitted to his inspection. Renewed cheering. There is that delicious sugar-coated, double compound constitutional capsule which is to be given to erery little nigger in the land before he goes to bed, and when be gets up in the morning he ihall come forth a scholar and a gentleman. Prolonged laughter. And then there is Fox's universal renovator aid social, moral and political cure-all, the teato'al prohibition porous-plaster laughter, which will stick to you like a brother laughter and which is expected to convert every drinking saloon into a temple of worship and repeople ths world with a new race of red-nosed angela. Laughter and applause. "I am against each and all of these quack remedies applause, and against the man who is in favor of any oae of them, applause, and more particularly against iiim if he claims to be a Democrat. Loud ppfiau?e. They are the vaporiDgs of iLock sentiment and the bastards of paternal licentiousness. Applause. They atrike at tL root of our constitutional system, which was conceived in the right of man to pf'Tern himself, and brought forth to rrt- the evil tbat mankind is g07erned too r ucb. Applause. It would atnazs the fathers of ttiis ltepublic to look in upon us to-dy and fo beLoUl the elaborate architecture, arii the costly and varigated f arnitu:e with which tbe vanity and avarice of men eud the ingenuity cf devih have contrived to overlay and decorate the Bimp'e republican stiucture they hewed out of the primal f orests of nature and built upon the rock of liberty. Cheers, "If it be not the mission of the Democratic party to preserve in the new something of tbe tpüit ot the old applause, to combine tradition with movement and to lighten the Lighwajs of propres? with traDCs snatched from the re kiadled by those who launched the ark of the Uoiou and made the covenant of States applause, then there is no future tor us but a repetition of histories which had better never been. I have followed the morning star of Democracy from the noon-day secession through the darkest hours of the midnight of reconstruction, and, with the dawn of peace and reason, hava aeeu it chine over a united people applause as bright and clear as tbe star of Bethlehem, which presaged the coming Christ; and, as truly as I believe that God reigns and orders all things for good, do I believe that this morning star of Democracy which has returned to its meridian and shines once more above the White House, at Washington, presages the final triumph of freedom, and the reign for ever and aye of the people's simple majesty. Prolonged applause. "It is because I believe this that I am unwilling to yield one inch of the people's ground to the encroachment of innovation, and hold these innovations more dangerous when they come clad in the raiment and flying the flag of a spurious Democracy. Cheers. I had rather meet my enemies on the open plain in honest fight than one single enemy disguised as "a friend." Applause. Senator Joe Blackburn received a hearty call for a speech, and delivered a ringing Democratic address, such as only he can deliver. After referring to Kentucky affairs, he said: "Let Kentucky's sovereign Democracy send forth to other .States a platform so broad, so true, so catholic, so democratic, that it shall be taken as the corner-stone of the national platform to be framed in the next national campaign." Continuing, Senator Blackburn said the Democracy should demand a reduction of expenses of the Government and the placing of the burden of taxation where it could be most easily borne. Bpeaking of the party in national affairs, he said the party bad pledged itself to correct the evils ana abuses in the Government. The party had charged the Republicans with laxity of method and with corruption in office. It had charged that taxes were too high and the expenses of the Government too great, These abuses the Democratic party promised to reform. It was now on trial. It could not afford to admit tnat it tad failed in Its promises. The civil

service had at last been reformed on the day Mr. Cleveland was inaugurated. Not a man who he had appointed had defaulted, and it could not be 8b.own.that a dollar bad been lost. The party had given the country a clean-handed administration, honest? in its dealings with the people. The party had honestly sought to reform the taxes, and would continue its e Horts. Hon. Vi.C. P. Breckenrldge, Congressman from the Ashland District, who will probably be the next chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, in response to repeated calls, in his remarks said: 'This convention has the opportunity to put Kentucky at the head of the Democratic column if it has the conservatism, the pruuence, the firmness and the wisdom, and he who to-day undertakes to speak from this platform to this convention should speak with a sense of that responsibility upon him. t Applause. We are part of the American )emocracy ; we are out of the clouds of the war; we are away lrom the sectional disputes; we are the first convention to lay down a platform for the broad National campaign ; and can Kentucky, under Carlisle, be like she was under Clay, and have her words repeated approvedly all over America? "This very afternoon in Boston there are expectant ears waiting for what Kentucky will say, praying that her deliverances, wbe they shall be clear and broad, shall be prudent and wise. Applause. We have an opportunity to do something. The South, in her broadest sense that South which passed through the long years of preparation, and is now coming more and more to the frontthat South has an opportunity under the leadership of Carlisle and Kentucky to do something for the country. Let us still those thlDgs about which we may not all agree; let us find some common ground to stand upon that shall be national ground. Applause. Let us remember that we are one wing, one part of the great National party fiat stretches from the bleak shores of Massachusetts to where the placid waters of the blue raciQc kiss the golden shores of California, and let ns get higher than the provincialism of a single State or neighborhood. Prolonged applause. "And about one other matter I want to express one thought. It may be that Grover Cleveland is not all that every Democrat would have him to be, but he is better than the best Republican who ever lived. lApplause. He may not be our choice among tbe Democrats of America, but he is better than any man the Republican party can nominate, and I am for him as the best we can do; and I want to say for him, being under no obligation to him other than that which every other good citizen is under having no grievance against the admlnistion, but as a free man and a representative of free men, only willing to speak my honest sentiments, that since America has had Presidents, she has not had a more honest, braver or cleaner man than Grover Cleveland. fCheers.1

Senator James B. Beck was introduced in answer to a prolonged calL He said: "We have but one hope for success in the future, and that is in standing by each other and making a long pull, a strong pull and a pull all together. The country has come from the darkness of misrule. The people's money has been squandered and corruption has been common. We had given, up to 1SS3, fl00.CO0.000 and not a ship to show for it. There have been rings upon rings, the gigantic whisky ring reaching almost to the doors of the White House. But we have passed from those days to the light of Democratic honesty. Vis have not done all that we should have done, but every ptep taken has been in the right direction. Whatever may be said of this administration, no man can impeach its integrity and patriotism. Grover Cleveland's worst enemy can not say that any corrupt man under him would remain in office a day. Let us then give an undivided support to our leader." Addresses were also made by Mr. A. G. Smith, Lieutenant-Governor of Indiana; Dr. E. D. Standiford and others ot Lauisville. After the speaking the band struck up and a number of ladies walked into the convention. Behind tbem came a nurse bearing a handsome baby. One of the ladies was Mrs. General Buckner, and the baby was the next Governor's son and heir. The applause was tremendous, and the baby was greeted in the most enthusiastic manner. Hurrah for Betty and the baby!" yelled some. "Bring the baby down here and let us see him," shouted others. The shouts continued for some time, but the baby was soon hidden in one of the boxes. Tbe convintion effected a prmanat or ganization by electing Hon. John 0. Carlisle permanent chairman. Mr. Carlisle was roundly cheered, and on being escarted to the chair, after expressing his thanks for the honor of presiding over the convention and referring to the reorganization of the Kentucky , Dam cxatic party in 18GG, eaid: "For the first time in a quarter of a century the responsibilities of Uvj Government are on the Democratic party, and it must meet them in a spirit of broad and unselfish patriotism. If it ever had prejudices, it must forget them. If it ever felt the spirit of faction, it must silence it. If it is embarrassed by differences of opinion among its own members, it must reconcile them, if possible, but if tbat can not be done, it must deliberately pronounce the judgment of the majority on all vital questions, and let each man go his own way and choore his own political associates. This proscribes nobody, coerces nobody, but it bases party Organization on principle and makes party action honest and respectable. This is not an appropriate time or place for an elaborate discussion of political questions, and I shall not attempt it. That will be done during the progress of the caneass you are how about to inaugurate, and I hope it may be in my power to take an humble part in it, not as a candidate for any office directly or indirectly at the disposal of the people, but simply as a Democrat, profoundly convinced that the best interests ot the State and the whole country will be promoted by the combined ascendency of Democratic principles and Democratic methods. Great applause. I believe, gentlemen, that a large majority of the people of the United States are now looking to the Democratic party to protect them and their property from the encroachments and spoliations of what is called fraternal government on the one hand and from the threatened depredations of agrarianism on the other. It is the only practical organization that has witnessed and helped to protect the wonderful growth and prosperity of the country during the whole century of the Government's existence. It is the great conservative force of the country, and it is stronger in nu mberi to-day than it ever was before, while its purposes are as patriotic and its political fruits are as sound as they were in the days of Jefferson, Madison and Jackson. Continued applause. If the people can not rely upon the strength and courage and prestige of their party for the protection of their rights of person and property and the preservation of their political franchises, where shall they look for safety? Can they trust the Republican party, with Its loose and dangerous theories of consolidation and governmental supremacy over ail the affairs of its citizens? That party has thoroughly demonstrated Its incapacity to govern free people In times of peace, and it must go tbe way of its Federal progenitor. Applause. Gentlemen, it Is not a singular fact that a Btrong feeling of sympathy should exist between those who want a fraternal Government and those who want no Government between those who want the Government to do everything and those who want it to do nothing. While one faction advocates governmental interference ia all the affairs of the people, another faction opposes governmental inter

ference for any purpose, even to preserve the peace and protect the rights of property; and yet their reasoning, in the abstract, is substantially the same, and if followed to its conclusion, would produce substantially the same result. The man who believes that it is the right and duty of the Government to take the earnings of one citizen by taxation or otherwise, and gives them to another, differs very little frcm the man who denies the right of property altogether. Cheers and applause. If tbe Government may rightfully compel you by law to give any part of tbe proceeds of your labor or your skill to another man, why may it not, with equal right, compel him to give him your hcise or your land? The fact that this is done ingeniously and under the guise of taxation, does not in the slightest degree affect the question of right or wrong involved In the transaction, but it greatly increases the danger to the people, because they are less likely to detect and resist the spoliation when it is committed through this incidions process. And if the Government may rightfully collect by taxation and then divide it as a bounty or subsidy to individuals or corporations engaged in particular industries,

or enterprises, in order to mate their private business profitable, why may it not also collect it and distribute it among particular classes of the people in order to equalize tneir fortunes, and thus accomplish all that Socialism and Communism are demanding? There is so little difference in principle and in practical results between paternal government and mob government that it is not worth while to express a preference fcr one over the other. Just before midnight General Simon Boliver Buckner was nominated for Governor by acclamation. Tbe nominating speech was made by Hon. W. S. Ellis, of Owensbcro, succeeded by Hon. Mat Adams, of Knox. Seeing that the convention was almost unanimous for Buckner, the other candidates, Senator J. W. Harris, Colonel G. A. C. Holt and Senator A. S. Berry withdrew from the race in appropriate speeches. General Buckner was sent for and escorted to the stand, where he made a rousiDg. speech that was applauded throughout. The platform and resolutions were then read: "We declare our confidence in the integrity and conscientious devotion to duty of President Grover Cleveland, and congratulate the country and the party upon the accession of a Democratic admini9tra;ion, national, economic and clean; and we particularly applaud the President for the fidelity and courage with which he has protected the treasury from pillage by his exercise of the veto power. "We favor honest civil service reform, by which we mean the enforcement of the faithful performance by persons appointed to office of all public duties intrusted to them, and to this end, as well as to the maintenance of tiie spirit of our representative form of government, we demand the strictest measure of personal and party re sponsibility, and are opposed to the substitution, in room of this, of life tenure, a civil pension list, and all other appendages of a bureaucratic system foreign to the genius of our institutions and people. "We declare the honest money of the Constitution good enough for the people as expressed m gold and silver, and paper convertible into coin on demand; and opposed to all sumptuary laws. "We contend that there are already on our statute books sufficient general laws having a local application to protect the public morals, without infringing on private rights. "We sympathize most earnestly with the people of Ireland in their struggle forlccal self government, and we unite with the friends of liberal progress in all parts of tbe world in denouncing the coercive measures now pending in the British Parliament, as a monstrous crime against a brave, generous and long suffering people, an obstruction to human freedom, and abhorrent to the spirit of liberty in every land. "We view with alarm the growing tendency among certain classes of citizens to seek the aid and bounty of the General Government, and as an incident of this tendency to enlarge the powers granted, and to employ powers never contemplated by tbe Constitution, and we reassert the time-honored Democratic doctrine, that 'all powers not delegated to the United States are reserved to the States respectively or to the people.' "We denounce the present war tariff, laid to confuse as well as to harrass the people, as a masterpiece of injustice, of inequality and false pretense. It has been maintained by a selfish and false theory of protection, which robs the many to benefit the few. It has piled up in the national Treasury a surplus which menaces the prosperity of all classes and every industry. We demand the immediate reduction of this war tariff, not merely as an act of redress to the people promised by all parties, but as the only safe and just method of reducing tbe surplus; and in making euch reduction we demand, farther, that tbe taxes shall first be abolished or lowered upon the necessaries of life; and, finally?. we reassert the constitutional and Democratic doctrine that taxes should be levied exclusively for public purposes, and lim ited to the requirements of the government economically administered." Hon. rres Taulbee objected to the clause relating to President Cleveland's vetoing the pension bill and pending discussion, the convention adjourned till to-morrow at 9 a. m. Tote tbe Republican Ticket or fio to Jail. Lafayette, May G Hugh Early, a well known character of this city, has made a public statement that reflects severely on the police force here. He says that, while in jail serving out a sentence for intoxica tion, he told a gentleman if he would se cure his release he would vote . for the He publican candidate for Mayor at tbe recent election, and tbat he was released on the morning of the election and taken up street by Officer Charles FowelL When they reached a certain street Early said he was going home. Powell told him that he was going to the polls and vote tbe Republican ticket or go back to jail. Early said he would do the latter, and was taken back and locked up again. Officer Powell, In a statement, says he was acting nnaer instructions from a su perior officer. The matter has created a political scandal, and the City Council at its next meeting will make an effort to lo cate the blame. It was the most hieb banded outrage ever committed in this Clt7 The Recent Klchardsen Poisoning Case. Covisgtos, May G There has been no new developments in the RichardBon poi- - i , i j i-i . .

Sndlen Deith of Washington C. DaPauw Yesterday in Caicsgo. lion. CT. H English's Estimate of His Character The Intelligence at His Home Fress Opinions, Etc. Chicago, May 5. Hon. W. C. DaPauw died at 11:30 a.m. His remains will be taken to New Albany for interment. TT ,f T T T - ,4..,- W T I AAUU. . . .Ejugiiau IjflllUlUlO VI Ali . I." I rauw, Tn a conversation with Hon. W. H. Eaglish in relation to Mr. DePauw, Mr. English said it was not true, as published, that he and Mr. DePauw were associated in any business now, or recently, but they had been intimately associated in many business transactions in former years. They were born in adjoining counties in Southern Indiana, and friendly relations were established when they were young men, and continued through life. They were both active Democrats, -and Mr. Derauw was one of Mr. English's warrrest supporters in his four successful races for Congress in the old Second District. In Mr. DePauw's banting operations in Salem and New Albany, under the free banking law of this State, Mr. English iurnisnea a portion of tbe bonds on which the banks operated, but he was not a stockholder, the bonds being loaned to Mr. ueTauw personally. They operated tin concert in many other tranactions. Mr. English has the highest possible opinion of Mr. DePauw as a business man and as a useful citizen. He was industrious, prudent, energetic, honorable, and undoubtedly a great help to the community in which he lived. Mr. English said he had no idea what Mr. DeFauw was worth. Estates, in popular estimation, were generally overestimated, and he should not be surprised if it should turn out so in this case; but he was undoubtedly a wealthy man probably the wealthiest n the State, Thought he made most of his money during the war in grain and provisions. In which he was an extensive operator on Government account. Of late years bis desire for protection to his glass manufactory, and his zeal for temperance legislation, weakened somewhat his attachment to the Democracy, but he acted ot late, Mr. English thinks, independent of party, without fully leaving h old faith. He was greatly attached to Willard and Kerr, and quite lecently was conferring with Mr. Eoglish as to the propriety of a movement among the Democrats of the old Second District to erect public monuments to their memory. Speaking of monuments, Mr. English refers to the fact that Mr. DePauw had a family monument made which is an exact copy of the English monument in Crown HilL Mr. DePauw, before eoing to Earope, went with Mr. English and critically examined the monument here, and, after examining monuments in the principal cities of this country and Europe, decided, with Mr. English's permission, to duplicate his monument, and it was done accordingly. Mr. DePauw was born in Washington County, the son of General John DePauw, who was a member of the convention that framed the first Constitution of Indiana, and long a member of the Indiana Legislature and prominent citizen. The family is of French descent Several other members of the family served in the Indiana Legislature, but Mr. English thinks W. C. DaPauw held no office hut Clerk of Washington County. He was once nominated for Lieutenant-Governor, but declined. He no doubt would have been a successful politician if he had so desired, but his ambition was not in that direction. He undoubtedly did a great work: in his day and generation, and is not likely to be soon forgotten. jStricaen at Chicago. llnter-Ocean. Mr. DePauw and his son, N. T. DePauw, manager of the DePauw American Plate Glass Works, at New Albany, Ind., were guests of the Palmer House yesterday, and intended to remain in the city"to-day. Mr. DePauw has been traveling extensively of late, but his trip here was on business. Parties concerned in the business were out of town, and Mr. DePauw determined to return home to New Albany last night. After dining, he and his son left the Palmer House, and were driven to the Polk street station shortly after 8 o'clock, and entered a Pullman car on the train on the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Road. While seated In their section awaiting the departure of the train, Mr. DePauw grew suddenly nervous, exclaiming to his eon: "I'm dizzy! What does this mean?" N. T. DePauw was alarmed, but said the attack would pass away. Mr. Derauw answered: "Oh no; this is something serious." His son then arose and lifted the window of the car, out of which his father leaned. The veins in bis face and forehead swelled and seemed ready to burst. This condition was followed by extreme pallor, articulation became mere difficult, and be soon became unconscious. Dr. Akins was speedily called from his residence. Under his direction a stretcher was improvised, and upon this four men carried the stricken man back to the Palmer House. There was a touching incident at the depot. A great, crowd gathered about, as happens at tbe occurrence of anything out of the ordinary. An old colored mai on the outer edge of the crowd heard the sick man was from New Albany, and he forced his way through. When he saw Mr. DePauw, he tell on his knees at the side of the stretcher, exhibiting the deepest emotion and grief. The old man had for sixteen years been in the employ of Mr. DePauw, whose service he but recently quit to come to Chicago. The News of His Heath at Home. New Albany Ledger. The news of the death of Mr. DePauw did not reach this city till 1 p. m. It spread rapidly, causing a feeling of deep gloom and profound sorrow to every citizen. There is sincere mourning. In the hearts of many there is the deepest grief. The Ledger is confident every man and woman in the city regards the calamity as most de plorable. Mr. Derauw naa lew enemies. No man with his immense wealth and great and varied business interests could possibly pass through life and escape envy and ill will from some. But in the presence of aeatn whoever may hold such feeling toward New Albany's great benefactor should rid bis heart of it, and accord to the great manufacturer the meed of praise and good feeling he is entitled to from all. The flags upon the court-house and City Hall were placed at half-mast, and other demonstrations of sorrow are manifest. The Mayor will Issue a proclamation asking the citizens to suspend business on the day of the funeral and display from their residences the emblems of mourning. The banks and other corporations with which deceased was connected will also take proper action. Aa a Manufacturer. New Albany Ledger. Washington C. Derauw did not hoard his millions. He used them where they were a benefit and a blessing to his fallowmen as well as where they would return accumulations. The DePauw American Plate GlassWorks of this city, in which a capital of a million and a half is employed, are a monument to his public spirit. He was a large owner in the Ohio Falls Iron Works, the New Albany Rail Mill, the woolen and cotton mills and otTirr manufactories of New Albany. He owned a large amount of real estate In the city and vlnnitr, and gave employment with his m -nev tomue men than anv other cHizn of Indiana. H e r-aa largely Interested in manufacturing iJterpriaes la Indianapolis, and In aereral

at Louisville. He was a large owner of real estate in Indianapolis, Louisville, Chicago, Sr. Louis, Minneapolis; In Colorado he was intereeied in valuable mines of silver and gdJ. and also in Mexico. His real estate was for the most part productive. His life gave very many people good cheer, for It was directed toward the employment and elevation of his fellow men.

A Religious Man. IXew Albany Ledger. A shining quality in the life of Mr. DePauw has been his devotion to the cause of religion. His religious life was one of humility: there was no ostentatious disp'ay in his profession; there was none of the pride of wealth in his christian life. It was simple, clean, consecrated, and he always showed that he telt how much of obligation he owed to the Master he served. Those who knew him most intimately re garded his christian life with the highest esteem. Tbe ribald, the vicious, the malignant may regard this characteristic of his life with derision; but the pure, the upright, the intelligent and refined, who have sensibilities touched by the brightnesj of spiritual revelation, place the christian character of Mr. DePauw as the highest charm of his lite. He was a great Sunday-school worker, and in this grand held of christian endeavor had accomplished great good. Kingsley Mission Sunday-EChool, held at the opera-house m this city, is Mr. DePauw's creation and the perfection of Sunday-school work. All its expenses since it was founded by him many yearBi.o, including bu um gs, have been met from uis privaus wars-. It was founded for tbe benefit of ior cMu ren. and is to day the largest Sanday-jchool iu Indiana. Mr. IPanw' 1Ah. Jeflersonriile Times. This will be painful news to all Indiana people, and to many thousands throughout the entire country. His fame as a philanthropist is world-wide, while as an enterprising banker and manufacturer he was more widely known than anv -man in the Western or Middle States. Socially he was a most agreeable gentleman. Everywhere and Under all circumstances he was free and cordial in his greetings of acquaintances. His has been a busy, business life, but he was not wholly absorbed in the pursuit of worldly gain, as is the case with most millionstes. All the virtues of home life, of christian life, of good citenship, were illustrated in the life that he lived. Where tbe Stroke Falls Heaviest. New Albany Ledger. Emblems of mourning, tears of grief, words of condolence, no matter how sincere, can never assuage the sorrow that has fallen like a pall upon tbe family of the deceased. His was a model home. Love lingered in its every chamber. There was that tenderness in Mr. DePauw's nature tbat creates idols out of Its loves; and his wife and. children were his loves. His home was love's sanctuary. There were only white-winged spirits there, and the heart's sweetest music sent out its cadences in waves of affection. How will the chief creator of such a home be missed! What can fill souis bereft of their most adored image! How weak are human words in such a dire bereavement how vain the offers of sympathy where souls are impalled with such a profound gloom. But as the departed father looked up and through the veil that separates time from eternity, and believed that heaven has compensations for ail of life's sorrows, so doubtless will the be reaved family seek consolations in the eame pure faith. Uls Great Benevolences. INew Albany Ledger. It may be truly sa d that W. C. DePauw lived to bless mankind. His benevolence took a wide scope and covered a broad field. WThen Asbury University (now DePauw University) stood upon the verge of ruin for lack of financial basis, Mr. DePauw stepped forward to save this great educational institution of Western Methodism. Three hundred thousand dollars cash, and a provision in his will that will bring one and a half millions more in permanent endowment, was his magnificent gift, to .say nothing of near one hundred thousand dollars that had been previously given. The Church Extension Society of the M. E. church required $100,000 to meet pressing needs. Of this sum Mr. DePauw gave $20,000. In the past few years he has given over $20,000 to DePauw College for young women in New Albany. His donations to churches of the M. E. denomination have amounted to much over $100,000. To Indiana M. E. Conference Preacher's Aid Society he has contributed over $1.",000. As stated aoove, his charitable donations to the poor have been boundless far up into the many thousands. He never turned a worthy man or woman away without help. His contributions to public enterprises of a secular character were on the same scale ot noble generosity. XY. C. DePanw Is Dead. New Albany Ledger. The wires bring the sad message of the death of Washington Charles DePauw, the foremost citizen of New Albany and the leading business man of the State. He was a great man. Not great in battle, on on the forum or in the studio, but great in broad ideas, grand purposes and the ability to achieve grand, ends. Said one of his intimate friends and business associates, "He was the grandest man I ever knew; he was large-brained, broad-minded; there was nothing little about him." Again said the same cssociate, and he spoke from actual business experience: "It was the delight of his life to give men work." What a eulogy on a manufacturer who has employed and whose capital now affords employment to more men than any other man in Indiana. And it is just. While he was in the fullest sense of the term a business man, and while he made his ventures for success, and almost always made them successful, he was always ready to keep thawheels of his machinery revolving, even at a loss, when it was in his power to give needed work to his employes. This trait of his noble character wss best appreciated where he was best known. Of his charity, his munificent gifts to religion and to the cause of education, there will be time to write. Just now it is the man and his home walk and work tbat come up before the mind, and this people mourn the loss of their staunchest friend. PEW AND PULPIT. It is announced that the summer school of christian philosophy will be held at Key East, N. J., commencing August 1G and laBtingten days. Yung Wing, a naturalized Chinaman, who has been in this country twenty years, has been elected president of the Connecticut Congregational Club in Hartford. The Collector at Bombay has among his curiosities a Chinese god marked "heathen idol." and next to it is a gold dollar marked "christian idoL" Rev. John W. Chapman has been appointed Episcopal missionary to Alaska, and will start for his new field of labor in May. Rev. Dr. Alabaster, formerly pastor of the Meridian Street Methodist Church, In dianapolia, has been Blck in Chicago for several weeks. He is now much better, and has recently resumed his labors in the latter city. During the reign of Queen Victoria there have been erected 6,500 buildings for worship by the Church of England, as azalnst 3,000 by all other religious communions put together. Seven new dioceses have Seen founded at home and sixty-two in the colonies WHhfn the last half of her xeigu i.31,000,000 have, been voluntarily

subscribed for church purposes and 22.-

4000,000 in elementary education in vjiut."Mother, have I got any children?" asked little Johnny Fizzletop. "Why, no, child ; what put that Into your head?'' "I read in the Bible about children's children. That's what put it in my head." Minister (to layman) Bat why do yod say that Mr. Smith is a good man? He rarely appears at church. Layman I know he doesn't appear at church very often, but Bradstreet's quots him A 1. Dayton, Ohio, has a novelty in the shape of a converted policeman. It is scarcely necessary to add that the convert has goae into the evangelistic business, is drawing large houses and taking liberal collections. Rev. A. Morrison has come to grief the past week in Baltimore. He stole a horse, was convicted, and the jury gave him seven years in the State penitentiary. He had been in trouble before, and his past record probably had something to do with the severity of the sentence. Rev. W. K. Eddy and Mrs. C. K Brown, writing from Sidon, Syria, describe recently discovered tombs and sarcophagi found in a cave near that place as equaling any known. Tbe paintings and sculptured representations show them to be the tombs of warriors and hunters. One night at tea the conversation turned on the seven brothers mentioned in the Bible, who one after another married the same woman, as each one died the brother next youLger marrying the widow. "For pity's sake!" cried the eight-year-old boy, "how long did the widow last?" Charlie, alter his evening prayer, was additg some improvised petitions. He prayed impartially, as his memory served, for all his friends, for the people next dcor and around the corner, and added, with the same intently abstracted tone, "I won't pray for old Dr. Hart's folks, for we don't visit them." An agent from Rome, under sanction of the Pope, is on his way to tbe United States to collect money to build an Irish national church in that city, to be dedicated to the patron saint of the Green Isle, lie will arrive arly in the month, so that those inclined can commence saving their money to welcome him. "Lost time," said the pastor, solemnly, "is lost forever." "So is anything else that you lose." eaid the new boy from Bitter Creek. "Ob, no," said the pastor; "you may lose anything else and lin4 it again." "Then 'taint lost," said the new boy, and somehow the minister didn't just exactly know how to go on with the conversation. And yet he had been warned against that very boy. Omaha Parson If you had taken correct views of this earthly existence you would not eow be 1IL Look at the Qaakers. They are the longest-lived people In the world. Omaba Man 1 never thought of that. They undoubtedly are. 4 Statistics prove it. Now, my friend, let your own reason explain why it is so." "Well, they doa't have to sit in draughty churches three times a wee with their hats off." In an Episcopal diocese of Pennsylvania a "church union society" has been organized, the object of which is to foster a desire for the "corporate union" of all christians on the basis laid down by the house of bishops in Chicago. It will be interesting, and it may be hoped that it will prove instructive to see how such a society will go to work to accomplish its object. Maxie was the little six-year-old daughter of a clergyman who had taken great pains with her religious instruction, and had held before her the goodness of the Supreme Being, so tbat she could have in her mind always his kindness and mercy, as well as power. One morning her mother, passing the open door of the room in which the child was playing, saw Miss Maxie standing on a chair before the mirror, with her face close to it, scrutinizing her little phiz with great earnestness, and with a long sigh she remarked: "I don't see how God could have given me such a nose when he knows how particular I am." The question whether a clergyman may wheel his own baby in a perambulator has been answered for one congregation in Scotland. One would suppose that he might, but not so think the people of an Edinburgh parish. There a clergyman was seen carrying his baby. His herrifiei canf regation presented him with a perambnator, but his last state was worse than his first, for he wheeled this vehicle along the streets with kis baby in it. This insult to the "genteel" susceptibilities of his congregation was too much, and he received a letter politely informing him that, while his abilities eave satisfaction, his pastoral services would be no longer required. Although under the provision of a standing order of the House of Bishops Bishop Williams, of Connecticut, succeeds Bishop Lee as the presiding bishop in the House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church, he is not the senior by seven years in the succession cf the living American bishops. Bishop Williams was consecrated October 20, 1851, whereas Bishop Southgate was consecrated October 26, 1S44. But the latter as a resigned bishop has no seat in the House of Bishops, and consequently does not come in the line ot succession of presiding bishops. He is living in retirement at Raven s wood. L.
