SUIIDHY SCHOOLS TO HOLO-MEETIIIG Forty-sixth Annual Convention Will Be Held at Indianapolis. NOTED MEM FOR SPEAKERS
REV. F. B. MEYER OF LONDON, PERHAP8 BEST KNOWN SUNDAY 8CH00L WORKER, WILL ADDRESS THE DELEGATES
Indianapolis, March 17. A special significance attaches to the coming forty-sixth state Sunday school convention in the personnel of the eminent men who are to be seen and heard at Its sittings. First among these is Rev. F. B. Meyer, of London, England, who

Slave of the Mill. "A Slave of the Mill" which will be
seen at the Gennett tomorrow night is
a melodrama which should be a de
light to all lovers of the thrillers in dramatic work. The scenes depicting the life of the workmen in a big Eastern mill are full of stirring action.
"House of a Thousand Candles." One of the most pronounced novel
ties that the drama has known in a
number of years is "The House of a
Thousand Candles" that is announced to appear at the Gennett Saturday, matinee and nieht. It is one of those
plays so wholly different from the us
ual tvne that it has aroused wide
spread attention and consequently it is
proving one of the great drawing cards
of the season. It is an excellent dram
atization from Meredith Nicholson s novel of the same name.
At the Murray. Laskey's "The Hoboes" is a head-
liner that is so different and as a satire it seems to be true and therefore real. In the act Nat C. Baker, the Italian impersonator, is the feature. Louise Denman, the Southern comed
ienne, is becoming more popular with the audiences at each performance and "Foolish Questions" is a song that can not but strike a responsive chord in the minds of all as every one has had such a question put to him. The Avallon Family-European Wire artists add variety to the bill by the
good stunts. The comedy and the pathos of "The Cattle Thief is also an act that has its admirers among the patrons of the Murray this week. The Treasure Hunters and the Dream of Toy Land as shown by the motion pictures has in it plenty of comedy and especially appeals to the children.

is undoubtedly one among the most
eminent divines of the present day,
He is perhaps the most eminent man
connected with the entire 'Sunday school movement. He is president of
the World's Sunday school association
and is a preacher, author and lecturer
of world-wide fame. During the last
two years he has made tours in South Africa, China, Japan and other foreign
countries, carefully studying the Sun
day school problem. That he will
have a fascinating, as well as instruct
ive story totell to the convention in
Indianapolis, is certain. -
If there were not another name on the convention program this one
should be sufficient.
Rev. J. C. Hartzell, D. D., bishop of Africa for the Methodist Episcopal
church, and Vice President of the World's Sunday school association,
will also be present and address the
convention, i His familiarity with Sun
day school work in Mohammedan countries is well known, and his utterances will have the double merit of intense
interest and the highest authority. The great Bishop, with his high pow
ers and wide opportunities. Is sure to
weave a spell about his subject that will enthuse, instruct and uplift, and if you fail to hear him the loss will be positive. Then there Is Mr. Marion Lawrance, who needs neither title nor introduction here. He is well known. He is the General secretary of the International Sunday school Association, and secretary of the World's Sunday school Executive committee. To those who know him his presence Is a positive inspiration, and to his audiences he is a verile force and poweT for good that is difficult of over estimation. Another tower of strength, is Mr. E. K. Warren, ex-president of the World's Sunday school association. If Mr. Warren had nothing else to commend him but this, it would pay you to cover many miles to see and hear him, for be it remembered that a man who holds the presidential chair of this last mentioned association, needs neither excuse for his appearance nor yet our poor enconium upon the words he has spoken. If, then, there is such a thing as "a feast of reason and a flow of soul," surely it may be found in the array of talent that is here presented. But above and beyond all. this is the Master's cause, and He calls us to engage in it. "Why stand ye here all the day Idle?" This query la as pertinent in the twentieth century as in the far away days of the Nazarlne's illustration. The preliminary work of the convention, is before ns, will we not rise in our might and do It?
The topsy-turvy of religious Irreligion in France was surely never more pregnantly illustrated than in the declaration by a well known Socialist and free-thinker, that the floods in Paris are the expression of a supernatural vengeance upon the French people, and more particularly upon the Parisians, for setting up idols in the shape of bridges, quays and building to perpetuate the glories of war. It is true that this Socialist free thinker, Mme. Severine to wit, would be more fitly described as a witch per sang. For Mme. Severine is that combination of the prophetess and Cassandra which constitutes the modern witch in her most pronounced form. An ardent Socialist, with an eye to business, her "woe is Israel" happens to take the form of invective against the ruling powers; yet, like the witch, her hand ts against the established roder, and, again like the witch, she invokes unseen power, which can hardly be the same as that invoked by the clericals.

CRUDE ASTRONOMY.
Russian Peasants Hav Queer Ideas of Sun, Moon and Stars. We have it oa no less authority than that of Caesar that the Druids taught their disciples many things about the form and dimensions of the earth and the heavens and a body of doctrines on the motions of the stars. Even death itself was to them an astronomical fact. They held that from this life we pass to take up our abode in one of the heavenly bodies. That they firmly held to this belief is manifest from the fact that they had no objection to lending money to be repaid In the other world. They looked upon the passage of life in much the same way as we regard a journey across the Atlantic. . - There is no doubt that even now in various parts of Europe the views of the peasantry as to the heavenly bodies and celestial phenomena have changed but little from those of their predecessors of a thousand years ago. A Russian contributed to the bulletin of the Astronomical Society of France has given the results of his observations on this point extending over ten years. The astronomical lore of the Russian peasantry of the north, center and south is limited to a knowledge of the existence of the sun and moon, of three constellations, of the Milky
way, of one planet, of comets, shooting stars and meteors. The sun is to
all a mysterious and beneficent being. The moon covered with ice and snow is ever in flight from its brother,
the sun. Upon its disk may be seen
unmistakably portrayed the murder of Abel by Cain, the latter being done to death by a pitchfork. Chill are the lunar rays, and woe betide the child of man who shall sleep unprotected therefrom! From the horns
of the crescent much useful Informs
tion as to the forthcoming weather may be derived by the learned in such
things.
The stars are lamps or candles
which are lit and extinguished daily by the Eternal. A shooting star is the soul of one who has just passed away. Comets are heralds of war and
famine. No Russian ever forgets that the Napoleanic war followed the great
comet of 1811. Westminster Gazette.
AND WITH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICAN INSURGENTS FIGHTS FOR PROBE BEVERIDGE WAS NOT IN CITY.
Washington, March IT. One of the boldest strokes ever executed in the senate in the interest of corporations, was pulled off yesterday. By a vote of 37 to 25 the senate stifled a proposed investigation of John F. McLean's Washington Gas company. The methods adopted to squelch the investigation are unprecedented. Some time ago Senator Brown, of Nebraska, in response to a continued popular demand, for an investigation of the local gas monopoly, reported a resolution from the committee on corporations organized in the District of Columbia, au
thorizing an investigation of the gas company.
Consternation seized the friends of
the monopoly when Senator Brown asked that the committee on contin
gent expenses of the senate consider
his resolution with a view of providing the necessary money to conduct
the examination, his motion was lost, 33 to 30.
Move by Gallinger. Then Senator Gallinger moved to re-
refer the resolution, already reported, to the committee on District of Colum
bia, of which Gallinger is chairman.
Senators Shively, Cummins and Brown
protested, but to no avail. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, argued that
it was the thing to do. Shively de
manded to know the precedents for
thus taking charge of a resolution and changing its reference after it had
been acted upon. Mr. Lodge declared
these precedents were as "plentiful as
blackberries," but like his distinguish-

A scrawny, gangling- youth or maiden is almost invariably slighted, overlooked or ridiculed in any social gathering. There is something about a plump or well proportioned figure which attracts not only friendship, but love and adulation as well. People with a proper amount of flesh are favored in all walks of life, while the thin are unblessed, unwelcome and frequently miserable for life. The difference lies in the power of the digestive functions and the ability of the blood and nerves to absorb and, distribute over the body the nutrition extracted from the food eaten. i The thin person is abnormal and lacks the power to absorb and retain the flesh and fat elements which the gastric juices in the stomach and intestines should extract or separate from all kinds of food and drink. A recent accidental discovery has proven that tincture cadomene when
blended with certain other drugs, will add from one to three pounds of flesh per week during treatment, while the genral health and strength also improves wonderfully. Get in a half pint bottle, three ounces of essence of pepsin and three ounces of syrup of rhubarb; then add one ounce compound essence cardiol; shake and let stand two hours; then add one ounce tincture cadomene compound, not cardamon). Shake well

ed prototype, he furnished none under compulsion. On the roll call, 37 senators, all reactionaries, voted to put the investigating resolution to sleep in the district committee. One democrat, Johnson, (Alabama) voted with the republican reactionaries. The insurgent republicans and democrats generally voted in the negative. Senator Beveridge was absent on account of sickness, but was paired against the monopoly.

MOSS GROWS WROTH
Says Bureau of Soils Is Being Used for Political Purposes Now.
HIS RIVAL TRICKED HIM
Washington, March' 17. At a hear
ing before the house committee on ex
penditures in the agricultural department Representative Moss of Indiana
made the charge that the bureau of
soils was being used for political pur
poses, and he cited an instance where
an effort had been made by the bureau
to boom the stock of former Represen
tative Gilhams of the 12th Indiana
district. Prof. Whitney, chief of the bureau, was on the stand. Repre
sentative Moss directed his attention to a survey of the soils of Allen county.
Indiana, which bore a statement in the preface that the survey was made at the request of C C. Gilhams, a former republican representative from Indiana. He also produced a newspaper clipping giving Gilhams the credit for the survey. "The thing is done," declared Moss, "simply to advertise Gilham's aid to help him get back to congress. I don't like it and I think this sort of political uses of this bureau should be stopped."

Get two and one-half ounces of Pinex (50 cents worth), put it In a clean pint bottle, and fill up with the Granulated Sugar Syrup. This makes a full pint of unequaled cough syrup, for about 54 cents. Keeps perfectly. Tou couldn't buy as much ready-made cougrh syrup for $2.60. This home-made remedy Is pleasant i to take, and usually stops even the most obstinate cough in twenty-four hours. It is splendid, also, for colds, whooping cough, bronchial ailments, etc. Take a teaspoonful every one, two or three hours. The Susrar Syrup Is an excellent sedative. The Pinex is the most valuable concentrated compound of Norway White Pine Extract, rich in all the healing: elements of Norwegian pine. Be sure to use the real Pinex Itself. Your druggist has it or can easily get it for you. Strained honey can be used instead of the syrup, and makes a very fine honey and pine tar cough syrup.
