SUBSTANTIAL AID

WAS GIVEN CAUSE OF EVANGELISM The Indiana Yearly Meeting Raised Several Hundred Dollars to Assist in Pushing Forward the Work. COMMITTEE ON EVANGELISM MADE ITS REPORT. This Afternoon Was Devoted To Educational Matters and Reports Were Heard From Various Institutions. To aid the evangelistic committee of the Indiana yearly meeting that body this morning contributed several hundred dollars to be uf-ed by the com mittee in pushing forward the evangelistic work. The report of the committee submitted showed that during the past year $4,955.60 was spent in evangelistic effort throughout the territory falling within the confines of Indiana meeting's Jurisdiction. The evangelistic committee went into debt to carry on the work, which it was thought needful to do, by borrowing some hundreds of dollars. Much of that money spent in the past year was spent in developing new fields. Evan gelistic effort in the Whitewater quar terly meeting of which the Richmond Friends churches are members, also cost a few hundred dollars. The spir it of evangelism should be continued it was said with renewed energy but to do this funds were needed. Prev lous to asking for the pledges for the work of the committee the Rev. Allen Jay spoke of the great work that had been done in the Puget Sound quarter ly meeting, "the baby", of the Indiana yearly meeting. Although several thousand dollars have been expended in the northwest and particularly within the limits of the Puget Sound quarterly meeting, the Indiana meeting has given only six hundred dol lars to that district. On the other hand fully $25,000 worth of property has been deeded to the Indiana yearly meeting by the quarterly meeting. Allen Jay's request for money was quickly responded to and a large sum raised for evangelistic efforts to be conducted during the coming year. The report of the evangelistic committee gave the following statistics which are very interesting and which give a clear view of the work done in the various quarterly meetings of the Indiana meeting during the past year: Meetings 138 Series of meetings 115 Conversions 1,271 Applications 618. Money expended on evangelism. $4,055.ti0 Meetings with full pastorates 41 Meetings with partiar pastorate ....68 Meetings without pastors 20 Pastors salaries $21,517.74 New Meetings 2 New churches, 2; cost $27,000 Repairs ' $12,100.87 Mission stations 10 Men giving evidence of call to ministry 42 Women giving evidence of call to ministry 28 The committee on opening of the Puget Sound quarterly meeting composed of Allen Jay, Esther Cook and Charles Replogle, made a lengthy report on the dedication of the quarterly meeting house and the installation of the meeting. This afternoon the reports on Spiceland and Fairmount academies were read. President Kelly's voluminous report on Earlham college was" read. This report appeared in the columns of the Palladium some time ago, shortly after it was read at the Western yearly meeting held at Plainfield and to which body it was submitted. The reports elicited much discussion. HOLD FIRSTRFHEARSAL Entertainment Will Be Given At the Gennett. The first rehearsal for "The Singin Skule Beginment," a musical comedy to be given at the Gennett theatre next Friday night under the direction of J. Bassett Willard and wife of Indianapolis, was held Friday night at the Christian church and was very successful. Nightly dress rehearsals will be the vogue next week. The seats will be placed on sale Thursday morning. The opera is given under the anspices of the Ladies' Aid society of the Christian church. DOUBLE HEADER IF RAIN Double Bill Will Be for Price.

This double bill is for one price of admission and a big crowd would in all probability b la attendance.

M. E. HOSPITAL TO SOON BE REALITY

Institution to Be Located at Indianapolis Has Been Contracted For. WILL BE MODERN AFFAIR. RICHMOND METHODISTS ARE GREATLY INTERESTED AND MRS. L. H. BUNYAN IS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD. The Indiana Methodist hospital and deaconess home at Indianapolis, in which Richmond Methodists are greatly Interested, and of the board of which Mrs. L. H. Bunyan is a member, will soon be a reality. Final contracts for the completion of the hospital at Sixteenth and Capitol avenue, Indianapolis, have been closed by the board of trustees and building committee, and the architects, Vonnegut & Bohn, have been instructed to push the work as rapidly as possible. The highest grades of material have been contracted for. The final contracts for finishing the building Include heating and ventilation, smoke stacks, plumbing and electric wiring. A large elevator has already been contracted for. The system of heating will be what is known as a "combination system," including direct radiation and the fan system. The air supplying the fan will pass through an air washer so as to eliminate all particles of dust and dirt before entering the heating coils. The two systems of heating will be arranged so as to operate inde pendently of each other. The archi tects fay this will permit the use of the fan system alone in ordinary weather and will provide for a change of air In each ward and room in the building in cold weather when direct radiation is in use. The elevator is to be of the "plung er" type, this kind of car having been chosen for the elements of safety the system offers. The car rests on a steel jiston, which will raise it by means of water pressure. On the downward trip the piston descends Into a well sunk In tho ground the same depth that the car rises. The car Is to be lareo enough so that a litter with patient, accompanied by nurse and physicians, can be accommodated. The idea o' cleanliness has been cari.'ed to almoEt the last degree throughouc the bullcing. The doors are to be without panels or moldings and their surface wi 1 be as smooth as the too of a highly polished dining room table. The doorknobs will be glass.. The building will be of first class fire-proof construction and is to ccse $130,000. It is expected the hospital will be reiiy for patients the latter part of November.

Phone 296. BIDING ODDER MADE By CH1EFEXECUTIVE Affects Members of the United States Army. THEY DO NOT LIKE IT. Washington, Sept. 28. "Rldo a spirited horse or retire from the army forever," is the way field officers construe the recent order of President Roosevelt to the secretary of war calling for a fifteen mile riding test. Regardless of age and sedentary habits, men grown gray in the service are required to mount a steed and dash ever the allotted space to test their ability to remain in the saddle should actual war demand that they go into the field. The army officer of tact has learned to express his resentment only in terms expressed in print by a dash, so there is no open revolt, but seldom has an order been given that has caused so much bitterness. It is clear that many of the officers are unfit for the riding test, but they -are not the 6ort of men to say so. 1 CLUBS. Election to the Moat tZxclaalT One la m. Serloaa Ilaalneaa. "Election to the exclusive clubs of Paris is a very serious business. The proposer and seconder must not only know all about their candidates, but be able to bear witness to their antecedents and even to their forefathers. They must write to all their friends and nsk them to support their candidates. When the election takes place, they must not only be In the room, but approach each member Individually as he comes up to the ballot box and ask him for his support. When the member has been elected, he arrives the first day ns a kind of stranger and with his hat In hand. He Is then formally introduced by one of his proposers to each member separately who happens to be lu the room at the time. On the second occasion he has censed to be a stranger and may leave his bat in the hall, but he Is still expected to o round the room with one of his proposers and be formally Introduced. This lasts for a week, by which time he is assumed to know all his colleagues, though a foreigner who is extra punctilious and Icilats on being introduced to every member of the club gains considerably in popularity. London Saturday Review. A Pnasled Author. When Alphonse Daudet brought out "Sappho" an American publishing house that issued religious books, not knowing Its character, offered M. Daudet a large sum for advance sheets of the work. He accepted the offer, and the advance sheets were sent. When the publishers received them they decided that they could not Issue the book, and they cabled to the author, " 'Sappho will not do." This dispatch puzzled DaudeL He consulted with numbers of frieuds, and this was the conclusion at which they eventuiy arrived: "Sappho" In French is spelled with one "p" "Sapho." after the Greek fashion. In English It is spelled with two. An unusually acute friend pointed this out to Daudet which much relieved tho novelist, and he cabled back to the publishers. "Spell It with two p's." It is needless to state that the publishers were more astonished at Daudet's reply than be had been at their cable dispatch. Iter Head Wa Mot. Lady Dorothy Nevill in her reminiscences tells this story of the two Misses Walpoie, her cousins: "On one occasion, when both of the two were well over ninety. Miss Fanny, the younger, who had tbst day been rather ill, only joined her sister in the sitting room Just before dinner. On her arrival downstairs the latter (Miss Charlotte by name) remarked: 'Fanny, I am going to be ill too. I feel so hot about the head. It must be apoplexy. 'Nothing of the sort!' exclaimed Miss Fanny, making a dah at her sister's head. 'Your cap's on fire, and I'm going to put it out.' And so the brave old thing did." Tbe Flrat Dairrr. People have danced for thousands of years and will probably continue to Co so for axes to come. This custom is of ancient origin. The first people to dance were the 'Curetes, who adopted dancing as a mark of rejoicing In i;H3 B. C. In early times tbe Greeks combined dancing with the drama, and Jn 22 B.

UNFORTUNATE CASE OF Resident of West Richmontf Has Become Temporarily Afflicted in Mind. ESCAPED FROM THE HOME. RAN FOR A CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE WEARING NOTHING BUT HER NIGHT CLOTHING POLICE INVESTIGATING. Friday afternoon Mrs. Oderkirk, wife of the editor of the Wayh County Business Journal, and residing at 81 John street, escaped from her bed where she had been confined as a result of child birth and. In her night clothing, ran from the house down John street and across a vacant lot. She was finally captured by Mr. Oderkirk and Dr. Charles Marvel on StaU street. Dr. Marvel happened to bo driving along State street. The peculiar actions of the woman were witnessed by a number of people. Last Tuesday a still born child arrived at th Oderkirk home. Two days before the birth of this child the woman became violent and it was necessary for Mr. Oderkirk to tie her to the bed. He summoned several neighbor women to assist him In caring for the unfortunate woman. The Oderkirk children were taken to th homes of friends. Mrs. Oderkirk, after the birth of the child, became almost , unmanageable and taxed the strength of her attendants t keep her confined to her bed. This morning a police officer called at the Oderkirk home and was told by Mr. Oderkirk that Friday afternoon his wife escaped his vigilance and fan out of the house screaming that she was going to get her child which had been buried Immediately after its birth. Mrs. Oderkirk ran so fast that at first her husband despaired of capturing her. While Mr. Oderkirk talked to the officer, Mrs. Oderkirk reclined on a lounge. She had nothing to say and gazed blankly about the room. Chief Bailey and Prosecutor Jessup are Investigating the case and it Is probable that Mrs. Oderkirk will be properly cared for. WILL TEST SCHOOL LAW. Farmer Wants Wagon to Come Directly to His House. Bluffton, Ind., Sept. 28. -An affidavit which promises to give a test case to the new school law providing for the transportation of children from the district where school buildings have been abandoned to neighboring schools has been prepared by the prosecuting attorney, and the case will be tried first In the mayor's court. It will probably be appealed and taken toVhlgh' courts. The affidavit, which is sworn to by the truant officer, is filed against William Thompson, a farmer, who has kept his children out of school because the driver of the wagon, employed by the trustees to carry the children to school, will not drive directly to the house for his children, but compels them to walk down the lane to the main pike.
