THE FORUM FOR APRIL. The Fonun, America's standard tiuartfcily review, is out for April-June. The regular departments of American jolitics, foreign affairs, finance, edaation, applied science, literature and music, are usual ably and comprehensively filled; while special articles reflect faithfully the latest trends of
thought, research, and philosophy in our times. Henry Litchfield West, in an analysis of KJiliti Hoot's recent notable address before the Pennsylvania society in New York city, traces the growth of federalism in this republic, and speculates a3 to the future of the states under our dual system of constitutional government. The British house of lords, Kaiser William of Germany and the Reichstag, and the new
Jtussian Jjuma, are prominent among the foreign topics discussed by A. Maurice Low. Alexander D. Xoyes sktlfully feels the pulse of the financial market. Joseph Sohn gives a broad critical resume of New York's latest and greatest opera .season. Applied science, as recorded by Henry Harrison Suplee, has to its recent credit some highly important developments in hydraulics, aeronautics, and electric traction. Ossian IT. Lang sums up the work of the latest national educational convention at Chicago. In the literary' j department Herbert W. Horwill points out some significant tendencies in presentday fiction; while Prof. W. P.j Trent finds good augury in "Recent J Tributes to Longfellow." Finally,! 3Irs. Isaac I Rice contributes an admirable paper on "Our Most Abused Sense the Sense of Hearing," this be-j Jng the sequel to her famous and suc-j restful declaration of war against uniic :?sary city noises, a year ago.
Despite the inclemency of the weath
er of Sunday, the revival service at the First Christian church went through with unbated fervor and enthusiasm and reached its climax Sun
day night with the church edifice
crowded to its capacity. The crowd
ed condition of the building justified
the decision announced In Sunday's Palladium, that the meeting be taken
to a larger auditorium. As was then announced, the East Main Street
Friends had kindly consented to grant
ing the use of their auditorium than
which there are few if any larger audi toriums exclusively set apart for relig
ious services in the state of Indiana.
This removal to the larger building will give the evangelists a working
plant commensurate with what they
feel the city needs, and judging from what they have been able to do elsewhere in arousing Interest for the cause of Christ -they have reasonable expectation of leading the people in a
revival of such far reaching Influence as has not been 6een in Richmond in
recent years. The results of the meetings of Sun
day added ten more to the church.
making a total so far of seventeen who have been added. Mr. Wilson preached
In the morning on "Behold the Lamb of God." In the afternoon he spoke
to the children and at night gave up
his time to the consideration of the
theme: "Faith: What is It? and How
to Get It':" At the close of the ser
vice he left for Indianapolis, his home and will remain until Tuesday. Hence there will be no meeting tonight, these men usins Monday rather than Sat
urday as their Test day. Change on Thursday.
Services will be continued on Tuesday and Wednesday nights at the
Christian church, but on Thursday removal will be made to the great audi
torium of the Friends' church. At
that time there will be a visiting delegation of two hundred people, the pastor of the church, L. C. Howe, having written that they are coming and that they will bring with them their chorus of one hundred voices that rendered such efficient service in the great New Castle meeting. f This supplementing the present chorus? now working in the meeting, will give such volume and power, to song as is heard in but revival meetings. Mr. Liiitt, director of tho chorus, says that considering the size, that this is the best chorus with which he has been associated. His solos on Sunday were delightful and unanimous accord Is given to the splendid quality of tone and the interpretation given to his songs. Indeed two men could not be found who as a team will work together better than these two men and yet allow that each be a past-master in the work that he is-set to accomplish.
ACT WAS DISCREDITABLE. Newspapers generally, that take a tride in holding the profession of journalism to the highest possible point, will regret the fact that a New York publication, of great influence, saw fit to buy from Harriman's former stenographer, some private correspondence and parade it to the world. - The not was discreditable from every view point and has a tendency to lower the estimate, not only of the publication guilty of the act, but also indirectly, of till newspapers. Often the public gets the impression that newspapers publish about whatever they can lay their hands on. Contrary to this impression, Jt Is a fact that the greatest care is taken to exclude from the columns questionable matter and to preserve the

FAMINE STRICKEN CHINA. Editor Palladium: "But whoso hath the world's goods and beholdeth his brother in need, and huteth up his compassiou from him, how doeth the love of God abide in him?" I John 3-17. As the condition of the people in China Is alarming millions are helpless It behooves every one to read and act America is showing her interest in these poor suffering people. The people of Richmond with much of this world's goods ought not to ehut ip their compassion and I am sure they will not. If there ever was a country or place that our sympathy and help should be administered surely China deserves the greatest. When the people are canvassed for aid will every

WATCH FOR BROKEN RAILS. Notwithstanding that comparatively warm weather has prevailed during the past few weeks, Pennsylvania employes are still required to keep a vigilant look, out for broken rails. Last Saturday a Richmond division freight train encountered a broken rail at Logansport but before any damage was done the train was stopped.
CLARK IS PROMOTED. Edward Clark, who is well known in C. C. & L. circles in this city, has been .promoted from the position of cashier of the Peru freight office, to agent for the road at Hammond. Mr. Clark has been with the C. C. & L. for several years. The Hammond
office is expected to be one of the best along the entire road.
HOBOES ARE TROUBLESOME. Freight conductors on the Pennsyl
vania say they are troubled more at
the present time with hoboes and "boomer" brakemen, who steal rides
on their trains, than at any time during the past eight months. A local division freight conductor said that the spring of the 3'ear always brought
out a host of "bos" and as there seem
ed to be a great many men out of
work at present, this class contributed
largely to the free traffic.
SAY THEY NEED THE TIPS. The new lavr which makes tipping
unlawful will work a hardship on the
porters on all Pennsylvania trains.
according to the statement of one of them. He says as things stand at present, none &t the porters are paid wages proportionate to thp money
they really earn; and they have to de
pend largely upon tips to swell their
monthly pay roll. According to his statement, tips are not considered so
much a surplus, but actual salary, although they vary from month to month. Tips on N03. IS and 19 or any of the New York and St. Louis trains vary from $25 to $40 per month ac
cording to the statement of the porter, and this depends largely upon the : number of passengers carried. It is 1 probable the porters will not strike, as , hinted several weeks ago on account ! of wages, because they say their !
places are too easily filled and such a move would be to figuratively cut off their own heads, unless all porters over the country could strike simultaneously. EFFECTIVE ON APRIL 10. Local Pennsylvania officials have received notice that the recent railroad laws passed by the Indiana state legislature will go into effect Wednesday, April 10th. It will take some time to figure out many of the laws, although the Pennsylvania is now ready to Install its two-cent v rate. Other laws wherein there are more technicalities will have to work themselves out as copies of the new laws have just been received. RAILROAD NOTES. The letter of President "McCrea to Governor Stuart asking him not to sign the two-cent' rate bill recently passed by the legislature of that state, availed him nothing.
The work of sodding the park and grass plots at the local Pennsylvania station has almost been completed. The two-cent passenger rate law of Minnesota has been signed by Gov. Johnson. The Pacific express company will soon inaugurate its service on several interurban lines in western Ohio, including the Dayton and Troy, Springfield, Troy and Piqua, and the Western Ohio and Toledo traction lines.

The Nerves of School Children Dr. TV'tlr Mitchell, th sreat American authority on diseases of the nerves, makes the following- observations on school children's nerves: As examination time approaches headaches become frequent as the result of eye strain and exhausted nerves. St. Vitus Dance is preceded by incessant winking-, shrufging- of the shoulders and twitching- of the face muscle. Girls become hysterical, nervous, cry easily, get fidgety, etc. Under these circumstances the system demands such assistance as is afforded by Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Piils. Failure to restore the depleted nerves makes a complete failure of health almost certain, for nervous diseases do not get wll of their own accord. Because of their mild and gentle action and extraordinary restorative influence Dr. A. "W. Chase's Nerve Pills are especially suited as a treatment for pale, weak and sickly children.

Panhandle train No. 21 due in Rich
mond each morning at 10:10 had a
miraculous escape from a disastrous
wreck as it . entered Indianapolis
Union station Sunday noon. The In
dianapolis Star in commenting on the accident says:
The front truck of the tender left
the track and was twisted beneath
the tender and for half a square the detached wheels plowed a great fur
row In the roadbed, tearing large
pieces from the ties. No one was in
jured.
The accident occurred at Oriental
street, and those who witnessed it
said that the train was running fast at the time, some of them estimating the speed a$ high as forty or fifty
miles an hour. The instant the grind
ing of the trucks over the ties began the huge engine, No. 8905, and one of the biggest in the service, began to tremble with the jarring and bumping
of the detached wheels on the rails,
Engineer William Gidney put on the air brakes.
The train, which carries Pullman's
and Is very heavy, came- to a full stop within half a square, and while no one was Injured everybody was shaken up with the sudden stopping.
That not a wheel left the track was
regarded by trainmen who looked over the scene of the accident as most remarkable.
The engine was detached from the
damaged tender, and the train was hauled into the city with practically no delay. Many of the passengers
were frightened after it was all over.
They said that it was over so quickly that they did not have time to be frightened before they learned that the danger was past.
Engineer Gidney, who lives in Cin
cinnati, was praised by the passengers of the fortunate train for the manner in which he met the emergency that endangered them. By his instant action in putting the air brakes on the heavy train he so greatly reduced the momentum of the rear part of the train that none of the cars . toward the middle was pushed off' the track. Those who looked over the ground afterward believed that Gidney's presence of mind was all that saved the train.

The Mohammedan Oath. One of the most picturesque forms of administering the oath is that followed by the Mohammedans. The witness places his Tight hand-flat upon the Koran, puts the other on his forehead rfnd then brings his forehead down until It is In contact with the book. Then he stands erect and looks steadfastly tip for some seconds. The officer of the court asks the witness. "Are too bound by the ceremony you have performed to speak the truth?" The answer Is. I am." To the Buddhist witness the officer of the court says: "Ton declare as in the presence of Buddha that you ar unprejudiced, and if what you speak shall prove false or if by your coloring truth others shall be led astray, then may the three holy existences viz, Buddha, Dhamma and Pbro Sangha : In whose light you now stand, together with the glorious devotees of the twenty-two firmaments, punish you and also your migrating- soul." The witness places his hand on the zendavesta and says, "I swear that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth, by God. by God omnipresent, by God omnipotent, the God Almighty.

DEFINITE ACTION WAS NOT POSSIBLE Christian and Baptist Church Merger Delayed.
OUTLOOK IS VERY HOPEFUL.
Local members of the Christian and Baptist " churches, "who have been
watching the actions of the national
convention of the Christian church in
Cincinnati, will be particularly interested in the following dispatch:
The proposed merger with the Bap
tist church was called up for discussion at the closing session of the congress of the Disciples of Christ, but Chairman I. J. Spencer of Lexington,
Ky., chairman of the committee representing the Disciples church, explained that owing to the Illness of the chairman of the Baptist' section of the committee, a final report was not possible at this time. Several meetings of the committee had been held and considerable progress made, so that he expressed the hope that a final report might be made at the annual conference of the church, which is to be held during the coming fall at Jamestown. He declared that there seemed no reason to doubt that a practical merger
could be accomplished within a comparatively short time.
