Everist Cathell on "Ultimate Christianity in America." He showed the unsatisfactory condition of relirious V dennminailrtnaliKTri In nnr country at this time, dwelt upon the unfulfilled intercession of the Master "that all may be one, even as we are one, that the world may believe that Thou has sent me," and declared that the wisest christian leaders are calling for a greater Christian unity for the effective conduct of war against the mighty forces of evil In christian lands and communities. The speaker deplored the habit of division which has arisen from centuries of cultivated separation, and affirmed that many christian churches regard separation as a permanent test of orthodoxy, and made the proposition that no body, of christian men should .contend for anything as essentially true which does not, by right, belong to all. The lecturer suggested that it is not true loyalty to Christ to merely desire unity, but thai true faith will lead its possessors to ex pect It Dr. Cathell does not deny virtue to the motives and methods of denominationallsm, but declares that like builders of a great temple or pal ace, the artisans should finish each their faithful and requisite labor, and leave the edifice complete, accomplish ed and beautiful, for the ultimate pur poses of its construction. The lecture was enlivened by relevant , wit and humor and was eagerly listened to by all present, making a profound impression. It should be heard all over the land, and I have no doubt that it would be greeted .with intense interest by multitudes of earnest, thoughful people and be productive of great good. REV.-1. M. HUGHES. D. D. Items Gathered in From Far and Near ' Flower Beds. From the Baltimore American. Everywhere nature is showing signs of the revival that has been going on annually from the beginning of time. The trees are ready to burst in bloom. The early blossoms have appeared, the bluebird, and the robin are heard in the. fields and on the fawns. The real estate man is calculating sales by the score and the suburbanite is laying off his flower beds. But aside from, the signs of spring in the country and on the city's outer rim; there are unmistakable signs of the advent of the soft months . of listless effort and languorous enjoyment in the activities of the men, women , and children in the back yard gardens of the city. ' Never 'has there been so much attention given the subject of beautifying these- places as today, All periodicals contain bints and observations on garden; methods and ilanis, so that the dissemination of fioricultural knowledge is widespread.

ON BUILDING UP THE PARTY,

," If anyone were to ask you the question: "What would the democrats of this city and all over the state like to see the republicans in this city do," what would you answer? , In the simplest phrase , the answer would, in all probability, be: "To divide the republicans still farther." And by this is meant to nominate the man whom all the republicans either could not, or would not. support. To elect another democratic mayor.;. For every time a man leaves his party allegiance, he becomes more and more the joy of the opposing party. The men In the democratic party In this city are not playing with generalities and toy balloons. They are working for the men. they are comparatively certain will help them win the next election.' '. All over the state the main object of the republican party has been to get togetherto eliminate factions. And the way to eliminate the faction is not to put in one strong element at the expense of' the other for that would and will, only widen the breach. The only way to eliminate factions is to pull them together. That is team work. . That Is co-operation. That is real growth. Obviously, the way to do this is to nominate a man who can be supported by all the men of the party, and not by one wing of it " v 1 . : 1 v

Now, that is the situation in the city of Richmond. We have a democratic administration today in the most republican of republican cities. And we are in danger of having another. You all know that the reason we have a democratic mayor is because the hominee of the time previous was defeated by men who bolted the ticket He was defeated by republicans. It is currently believed, and with some basis of truth, that the same thing will happen again. But even if it does not, there will be many who will leave the ticket, because the democrats will have the shrewdness to put up a man who will not only receive all their votes, but will draw from the republicans. And there are many republicans who, rather than bolt the ticket will not vote at the election next fall. Will that strengthen the party? . Is that the way to build up?

No one can deny that there is a strong undercurrent of sentiment against Dr. Zimmerman in the republican party. And this comes not only from those who oppose him for well-known reasons, but from men who simply say: "Doc ought not to have run, because he will hurt the party." These men. who say this are staunch republicans, men who wish well for their party, men who are interested in the party's welfare. These men, many of them, supported Zlmmermaa in the last election, because he did represent the republican party, but these same men who voted for him, and worked for him as a party candidate are becoming just the least weary of voting for him and seeing him defeated. That, they aver, is almost like throwing the election over to the democrats. The democrats are strong enough without giving them a handicap.

And, again, view Mr. Gordon from a party standpoint He, too, represents (if he represents anything in the republican party) a faction. It i3 scarcely worth while to tell what every one knows. That the old line republicans, well represented by the o'der men, who have fought the battles of the party from its very beginning, do not approve of the Ideas nor the tactics of the editor of the Item. These men have ingrained In them the realization that to desert the party whenever it does not meet with one's own wishes, is not to play the game fairly. They do not like the way iu which Mr. Gordon has treated them. They do not think It is for the good of the party to do as he has done. v And whether you agree with them, or whether you agree with the ideas and the tactics of Mr. Gordon, you will agree to the fact that there are any number of the staunchest workers in the party the men who have held the party together for years, who are opposed to him because, as they put it "He is not a republican." The way to strengthen the party, these men think, is to build up from within not to tear down from without. And we venture to say that there are as many men in the party who disapprove of Mr. Gordon's methods, as there are men who disapprove of : Dr. Zimmerman. , .

This being the case the same argument is valid against both the candidates which we advanced in the beginning. -'-'--- That the democrats would like nothing better than to have either of these men nominated. " And if , you are to play into their, hands, that is the way you should - vote at the primary.. - , The way to strengthen the republican party is not to nominate a man who will be the democratic choice. The way to strengthen the party Is not to support the factions iu it. The way to strengthen the party is to get together not to split up. This is the only solution which we see for republicanism in this community. And this community is the turning point of the whole district. This is the keystone. If you weaken the keystone, you have weakened the whole structure. The Sixth District Is one of the factors which is moot important in the reorganization of republicanism which is going on all over .. the state. " You may or may not, realize that this is a crisis in the state, and that this in its way depends on the oomiug election of the next mayor of Richmond. But that is why the primary is so important. That is why you should get together now and select a man who will not split the party, who will not tear it into factions of greater strength, which will weaken the whole party.

That is a constructive policy. The destructive plan has gone far This is a crisis. TWINKLES Thinking It Over. "Don't you want to live in history?" "I don't know," answered Senator Sorghum.

POOR HASTINGS IS

left ourin COLD Hammond Man Turned Down For State Job After Waiting Patiently, WANTED TO BE CUSTODIAN HE WAS ENCOURAGED BOTH BY SIMS AND BILLHEIMER TO BELIEVE HE HAD THEIR APPOINTMENT CINCHED. Special Correspondent Indianapolis, Ind., April 9. Con trary to all expectations, W. J. Hastings, of Hammond, did not get the job of custodian of the state house at the hands of Secretary of State Sims and Auditor of State Billheimer. Instead, the place was given to Charles J. Wheeler, of Noblesvllle, chairman of the Republican committee of Ham ilton county. Wheeler was a dark horse in the race for the job, no one ever having heard of him as a candidate. Just why Sims and BUlheimer turned Hastings down is hard to understand, for Hastings comes from Lake county, which was the banner county of the state for the Republicans at the election last fall. Had it not been for the magnificent majority which the Republicans rolled up in Lake county the entire state ticket would have been defeated. And Has tings came here with the united endorsement of the party in Lake county. He was encouraged by both Sims and Billheimer to believe that he was to have the custodian's position. Hastings-Complied. They even suggested to him that he have some of the Lake county republicans send down their endorsement of him as a candidate, and Hastings complied by having the Lake county fellows flood them with telegrams and letters in his behalf. And still they turned him down.. It has been said that in case Hastings lost out on custodian, he should have a good job in the office of the Auditor of State, such, for Instance, as state bank examiner, but whether he will get it remains to be seen. If he does not it is likely that Sims and Billheimer will hear something from Lake county. Governor Marshall appointed Thomas F. Colbert of this city, as custodian at the same time' that Wheeler was appointed by Sims and Billheim er. It is now up to the courts to de termine which one shall have the office. ' The Board . of War has decided to establish military middle schools throughout the empire, and the build ings of three of them are completed in Fekln, Nankin and Hupeh, and the primary military schools have bad graduates. The sebool in Shensi will be established at a later date.

THE DE ILiAVAILi THE FIRST SEPARATOR. The De Laval was the first practical cream separator, being the Invention of Dr. Gustaf de Laval of Stockholm. 8weden. In 1878. It was introduced in America in 1883. For nearly ten year the separator was simply a power or factory machine. Then, with Improvements by Swedes., Germans, and last and best of all by Americans, it has become the only practical creaming device for the farm dairy, as well as the creamery. There are now more than 1.000.000 De Laval machines In use. scattered all over the world and in every country where milk is known. More than 100.000 were sold last year alone.
