When short testimonials were called for by the pastor, Mrs. Nye arose and in a wild ranting manner, entirely out of keeping with the quiet way of the Friends, told of her conversion. She consumed much time, and in spite of the motion from the minister for her to take her seat, she continued. The minister, being unable to quiet her in any other way, called for singing and the entire congregation started a sons, completely drowning her words. After the song was finished her husband arose and censured the minister and the congregation for what they had done, attacking them bitterly. He said that the Friends were lig on the reputation of their fathers, and that their actions stamped them as anything but Christians. He said that his wife was moved by the Spirit only as George Fox, the greatest preacher of the Friends church had been affected. Was Finally Quieted. This did not appeal to the Friends and he was told by prominent members that he must either keep still or buffer arrest. Nye finally consented to be quiet. Yesterday afternoon Nye started jtf-eaching on the lawn in front of the -Mating .-House, .attracting h Treat ! crowd. He was ordered to move on by the police and continued his meeting, assisted by his wife on 14th and Main streets. Nye has attended Yearly Meeting for the past few years' although he is not a member of the church. He always pays his own expenses and has contributed to the church. Last night Nye held a meeting in a small mission house on North 11th street, where he expounded the belief that the Jews would reclaim Jerusalem in seven years. NYE MAKES STATEMENT. fells of His and His Wife's Actions In Friends Meeting. The following communication was received from Mr. Nye last ever.lng: To tie Editor Sir: 1 feel led towrite you concerning our visit to the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends and our treatment at that meeting. We -were invited to "attend the meeting by Francis Thomas and other ministers and (,me and arrived the second day of their session., and have been attending the meetings every day since. On first day morning, my wife stood up to testify and had not testified two minutes until they hegan singing to sing her down. I was standing ready to testify and previous to this the leader had told the people to stand to their feet who had the-Holy Spirit and nearly all in the house stood up. I then told them I had been awakened at 3 o'clock in; the morning and the Lord had showed me in the 5th chapter of Acts; how Annania's and Saphira were struck dead for lieing to the Holy Ghost and that many who had arose to their feet were like them, because they were living like many of the world. I am a converted Jew and God by his Holy Spirit changed my life and we are spending our own means preaching the Gospel from city to city. After the church was dismissed one preacher ordered us off of the grounds and as we were invited to talk at the Hicksite Friends we went there and had a spiritual meeting so that people came to us with tears ii their eyes and thanked us for the message we had given. As Jesus returned to the temple again after the Jews were going to stone him. so we returned in the afternoon and as I was passing some tracts among the people, Fred Smith a preacher from Spiceland came with a policeman and compelled me to go off their grounds after which we came to the corner of Main and 14th street and preached to a large congregation for two hours.'

FIRST TOUCH OF IS FELT Thermometer Fell to Sixty and Heavy Wraps Came Out in Abundance, iOLDER THAN LAST YEAR MANY PEOPLE ON THE STREETS, APPARENTLY, JUST TO TEASE THE CUTTING WINDS MANY STOVES TOO SMALL. That "the world is growing colder each day", assumes the aspect of probability when weather statistics indicate that yesterday at three o'clock, it was fourteen degrees colder than on the same day, and at the same time one year ago. September 30, 1905 the temperature ranged lrom 74 to 80 degrees while yesterday the temperature varied from 60 to 62 degrees. The characteristic November wind arrived about 60 days ahead of t4me and brought out the new fall suits, furs and sassy hats, that for the part few days have been enthroned on the top shelf of the closet where they were placed after purchased. Regardless of the chilly aspect, and the atmosphere that compels one to think of open fires and apples, there were many persons promenading the streets and courting the teasing blasts of wind. One young girl standing on a corner with the wind windher skirts around her exclaimed to her youthful male escort in utter seriousness, "Oh, I wish I had worn my veil. I just known my face will be all chapped tomorrow." The sudden change m the weather was felt most forcibly at Police Headquarters, where the "one burner, guaranteed to heat a 14 room house" drove Patrol Driver Livelsberger to sleep in a corner of the barn and day Sergeant Krone sought warmpth In the Enquire Has Gone to Florida. Capt. Henry Root who has been in failing health for some months left Friday for Lake Helen, Florida to visit his daughter, hoping the change will benefit his health. tie will be gone several months.
