It Is quite likely to have a great effect in shaping Democratic sentiment. Tpe Idea of supplying this city with conl by electric railroads is entirely feasible. Two or three such lines penetrating the coal fields would find a lucrative business In the transportation of coal, aside from pass enger business, and would compel a reduction of coal rate by the steam roads. The tales about the immense sums lost by rich mn in W-iM street during the present pinch sound ery b!g, but are not particularly alarming. They were all paper possessions.

William J. Bryan is his own worst enemy. No man ever broke ln:o national politics more easily or cut a Wider swath at the beginning of his career with brighter prospects of future growth. But he has thrown them sway and dug his own political grave by his blundering lea decs hip and his displays of personal unfitness. His course has been downward instead of upward. Fron an orator of nation.:! reputation, though In advocacy of wrong principles, he has sunk to the level of a crossroada politics; ?lang-whanger. His personal aawss of Mr. Cleveland in hia speech at Urbana shows the long distance betwt.n a gentleman and a blatherskite. Mr. Cleveland does well never to notice him. Tht old Knights) of r organization proposes to try aud regain its old ascendency lr. New Tork on the basis of arbitration, rxst. lost and nil the time. Over ten yean ago the Knights of Labor was the Strongest body of organised workmen in the L'uiied gtataa, it bad a membership of

between 190.000 and 1,000.000 throughout the country and its picturesque ritual and grips end passwords caught the fancy of the workmen at that time. Then came the American Federation of Labor, under President Gompers. which, by degrees, took the place of the Knights of Labor. The latter row claims a membership of between 123,000 and 130.000, while conservative estimates place the membership of the American Federation of Labor at 1.000,000. Both organizations are equally prescriptive in their attitude toward nonunion men, but the Knights of Labor have a new claim on public sympathy in their advocacy of submitting all labor grievances to arbitration. WIPE OIT THE WINEROOM. When, a few weeks ago, a young girl was arrested on the street in a drunken condition, it was the understanding of the Journal that a very thorough .ff jrt was to be made by the police authorities to abolish the wineroom evil. Now comes the revelation in the Juvenile Court that three young girls, two of them fourteen and one sixteen years old, have been taken from a most disreputable place of this character on South Illinois street and sent to the Industrial School for Girls. Further information goes to show that thse children are woefully depraved and have been for some

time regular frequenters of winerooms, though all have been reared in decent and respectable homes. Do the authorities realize the horror of the thing? e Gf course it goes without saying that the place to mold a child's moral character is In the home, but not every child hus a mother living and there are hundreds of mothers, forced by the hard necessities of poverty, who must give practically all their time to the struggle for bread and thus cannot give their children the time and patient study and care necessary for the proper development of character. The municipal authorities cannot be expected to have charge of the morals of children, but they can remove from their path certain forma of temptation to evil that are lawless in character and thus help to make the descent to depravity less alluring and essy. And the worst of these evils Is the wlneroom, which exists in utter defiance of the law of the State, which forblda the dispensing of liquor behind partitions by the saloon keeper or in any othr room than the one in which the bar is situated. The lawsis prohibits under heavy penalties the sale or gift of liquor to minor children. But there is no need of reciting all the various laws violated by the keeper of the wineroom. There is law enough to sweep every one of them cut of the city, and It should not bo a difficult matter to enforce it. Kansas City, a city somewhat larger and much more difficult to control than Indianapolis, has been freed from winerooms by the simple method of revoking the license of every saloon keeper that declined to tear down the partitions. It required the revocation of only one or two licenses to give the fraternity to understand that the authorities meant business. The occasional raiding of a few winerooms and the assessment of fines against the proprietors and those caught in the establishments will not serve the purrose. That la merely a tax, which the proprietors are willing to stand. The proper procedure is to abolish the whole wineroom business, and It can be done by very simple measures. PIUS X AND THE UNITED STATES. The opinion expressed by the Journal Immediately after the election of the new Pope that he would be found liberal and trieudly towards the United States is coulirn.ed by his acts. The opinion when expressed was somewhat conjectural, being based on general principles, but the acts and expressions of the Pope leave no doubt about it. In the first place, he accorded an early Interview, and the first granted to any Journalist, to the American representative of the Associated Press, and gave him as a message to the American peooie: "I love the Americans, who aro the b oomlng youth of Catholicism. Convey to all of them how gladly I Impart my apostolic blessing to the whole country." As it Is the Pope's business to place the church above ell other considerations Americans will pardon his referring to them as "the blooming youth of Catholicism." He Intended it as a compliment, and the friendliness of his message Is apparent. In the second place, he did an unusual thing in granting a reception during a time of unusual excitement and confusion to a large party of Americans who had gone to Rome to call on Leo XIII, and not Pius X. That ha granted the reception at the personal request of Cardinal Gibbons is further evi0 Mt of hi friendly feeling towards Americans. It would not have been surprising it he had pleaded personal fatigue and pressure of Important affairs to decline the interview. That he granted it aud treated the callers with particular graciousness was evidently Intended as an Indication of his feeling towards the country of which he said. "Dear, dear America; forty-four stars, eh?" Whoever informed him should have said forty-five, but that Is not material. The point is thut without any In ducement to be other than formal he was almost Impulsively friendly. This Is a matter of more consequence than some pel sons may imagine. The L'ulted States could get along very well without the friendship of the Pop, ss the American peoplu could without his blessing, but It is better to have both. This country and people could get along without the friendship of any foreign power, but it Is much better to have it and to feel that it ia based ou intelligent understanding. The Pope has no temporal power, but he is the head of the greatest church organisation In the world, and his friendship is complimentary and desirable. Moreover, we have important negotiations pending iu the Philippines which the Pope can make much easier for us. By embracing an early opportunity of showing his friendly feeling towards the country and people he has allayed all apprehension that the new Pope might prove more difficult to deal with than his predecessor. NEGROES IN THE WW. A recent statement that a change of policy Is Contemplated in regard to the enlistment of negroes for the navy is denied at the Navy Department. The reason ashjaed for the contemplated change was that uegroes were not sufficiently intelligent and alert and did not make good sailors. If this had been thoroughly demonstrated by experience It would be sufficient reason for Htopplag their enlistment, as the efficiency of the navy is a consideration of pfSBSi importance. But this is denied at the Navy Department. There la, however.

one cause of trouble, and that can be easily imagined. It is the color line, or race prejudice. There are now about 500 negroes, enlisted men, in the navy, serving on the same ships with white men and messing with

It is said many of the white men ! them object to this close association with negroes ou board ship, and some officers of the navy are convinced that the discipline and effectives ss of the entire force would be promoted either by eliminating negroes from the navy altogether or by separating the races, and consolidating the negroes together on ships by themselv s. This would bo somewhat like the policy adopted in the army, where there are iour regiments composed exclusively of colored meu, two of cavalry and two of infantry. They make lirst-rate aoldieis, and there is no reason why thy should not make' good sailors. TIM information obtained at the Navy Department Indicates that it is possible the experiment of making up crews entirely of enlisted colored men may be tried, but It is not at all likely that euiitti;.0' UMSfl will be stopped. The rules regaruing euliaiineiit are vciy strict, aud th y will probuo y continue to be applied to applicants impartially, irrespective of color. As long as the laws do not make any distinction iu this repaid no naval recruiting officer nor the retarjr of the navy himself would have authority to draw Um cats Hue against uegroes. Some allowance should be made tor the prejudice of naval officers, but if the friction between white and blapk sailors really exists, and if their mingling is prejudicial to discipline, as some officers aver, the" experiment of separating them might be tried beneficially. No doubt some negroes lack the intelligence and alertness to make good sailors, just as some white men do, but this is not a matter of race or color. The prejudice ag-alnst them could ouly find expression in time of peace, for in time of war a man who if fighting does not bother about the complexion of the fellow next to hint. Ho would as leave be backed up or helped out of a tight place by a negro as by a while man. Consolidating all the negroes in the navy on one or two warships uuder white olfieeis might give them a better chance to make a record for efficiency than they would have if mixed with white men. As for their courage, It has been tested on too many battlefields to be questioned, aud It would be contemptible to deny them the privilege of serving the country la the navy, simpiy on account of color. L. DIGESTED" DIM I (.KATION. The recent notification sent by the Governor to the circuit courts cf the State, calling attention to the new provisions of the federal law designed to prevent naturalization of Anarchists, might well be supplemented by sending them the obiter dictum of Judge Clifford D. Gregory, of Albany, N. Y. In rejecting sixty applications for naturalization papers. Judge Gregory said: I will not naturalize any person who comes before me and Is unable to speak tha English language sufficiently to maae himstlf understood. I will compel them to answer questions regarding their agv, place of nativity, when they arrived in the United States and any other questions which I deem essential to good citizenship, and if they faii to make satisfactory answer I will refuse to grant them the necessary papers. When a man has been in this country five years and is unable to talk our language, in my opinion he Is not fit to be admitted to citizenship, and 1 will act accordingly. 0 Well done! We provide public schools and every possible facility for educating our people to be able to Intelligently assume the responsibilities of citizenship, yet without a thought of anything more than the merest formality, the average court shows great activity at certain seasons of the year making citizens with full voting privileges of thousands of men who have not taken the trouble even to learn the common language of the country, much less the nature and the spirit of its institutions. It is time that State laws and State courts were looking more carefully to the character and intelligence of the citizens thus taken into the fold. The Immigration figures for the fiscal year just closed went away beyond anything the country has known before, and this immigration was very largely made up of people from southern Europe, the Balkans, Kussia and the Slavonic territories of Austria-Hungary. In New York, Chicago and other centers of population Italians. Poles, Hungarians, Croatlans, Lithuanians and others of a densely ignorant type are naturalized in floods and taken to the polls and voted In droves, with no more notion of what they are really doing or what it all means than if they were dumb unimals but their votea count for Just ss much as those of nutlve American citizens with centuries of education In self-government behind them. It is a hard enough task for the American people to assimilate this mass of foreign blood of an utterly alien character In the courso of two or three generations, notwithstanding1 the tremendous expenditure for educational facilities, without being forced to take Into partnership those that have just landed or have been here some years without exhibiting enough interest in our institutions to learn anything about them. John G. Shanklin. who died yesterday at his home in Evansvllle, was prominent in Indiana politics and journalism for many years. A lifelong and unwavering Democrat, he was far. removed from narrow partisanship, and he never allowed politics to interfere with personal or social relations. As a journalist he was able and ex ceptionally fair. He was a broadgauge man, a true friend and a cultured, honorable gentleman. The information that Mr. Bryan has an ancestor living at Kokomo at the ripe old age of 101 years will be horrifying news to those who would like to see the Democratic party get together, as showing the longevity they may expect in Bryan. Secret service officers turned back a colored brass band intent on serenading Pres-i-K 11t K" . -tlt. Kvidently there are compensations about Um strenuous job of occupying the presidential chair. What the country seems to most need Just now is an export auty on the money Andrew Carnegie Is giving aw.iy abroad. THE HUMORISTS.

Bryan was scheduled to pass through Indianapolis again last evening, according to the itinerary which he gave to oue or two friends while here Tuesday morning, but if he was in the city he did not tarry long enough for Dr. L. N. Howard, of the Indiana Silver Club, and Edwin St. George Rogers to establish communication with him on the vexed subject, "Shall we, or shall we not. suppogt lloltzman and Keach?" It ft not regarded as possible that Mr. Bryau is actually dodgiug his warmest admirers in Indianapolis, as he is not of the disposition to desert his friends in their hour of need, but it seems that fate is conspiring to prevent the local silverites from securing the udvice they so earnestly seek. Mr, Bryan may be back here to-day, as he lectured at Marion last night, and he will be iu the State almost all of next week, so Dr. Ho.vard and Mr. Rogers have not abandoned all hope of getting into personal commuuicatlon with him. Next Wednesday night Mr. Bryan will speak at Zionsville, in Boone couuty. and It is understood that his address will be the ouly one of a partisan nature that he will deliver in Indiana during the month. Zionsville is the home of Edgar L. Maines, the president of the Jefferson League, aud Mr. .Bryau is going there at his invliutiou, consequently it is expected that he will have something to say regarding the league, which is regarded as an organization after his own heart. The prominent leaders iu the formation of the league are all to be there, and it will be a "true Democratic" love-feast In the interests of "true Democratic principles." XXX If at any time there has been any doubt as to whether the Jefferson League Is Bryan-iaspired and some of the promoters have endeavored to create the impression that Bryan knew nothing of the organization until all the preliminary steps had been taken all such doubts are removed by the announcement of the political creed of the league, which has just been formulated. This creed is being printed ou the applications for membership, and every Democrat who joins is expected to subscribe to all its tenets by affixing his signature at tne bottom. The creed is placed on the applications in order that all the members will go in with their eyes open, and will be placed on record in black and white If at future date they should manifest a disposition to kick over the traces. This promulgation of principle, which has "Bryan" written in every sentence, provides first that the league is to be compostd of Democrats who believe there should be no retreat from the position taken by the party in the last national campaign and no surrender of the principles of the Kansas City platform. The applicant must pledge himself to attend all Democratic primaries and give his support in the primaries to men who are enthusiastic in their sympathy with the principles as enunciated by the Kansas City platform. He must pledge himself to vote for no man for delegate who will not pledge himself to attend the convention to which he is chosen; to use all fair and honorable means to prevent the Democratic party from falling into the hands of men who are interested in monopolies, trusts or other aggregations inimical to the interests of the party and, last, to exert himself to bring about Democratic success. This creed substantiates all that has been snld to the effect thut the league Is an organization of Bryan Democrats for the purpose of wresting control of the state committee from the "reorganlzers." It was originally announced that the applications for membership would be ready for distribution by July 2u, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that the delay has been due to the inability of Mr. Bryan to take the time last month to compose the creed. Now that, it has been prepared, however, it is said that the work of extending the league will be pushed rapidly and thnt Präsident Maines will announce his appointments of district chairmen next week, after the Bryan meeting at Zionsville, und that the circulars and application blanks will be sent out st the ?amo time. A meeting of the district chairmen will then be called to make arrangements for a big State rally, to be held some time this fall, and to receive personal instructions as to the scheme of organization. The promoters of the league expect to be well organized before the meeting for the reorganisation of the Democratic State committee next January. xxx S. M. Ralston, of Lebanon, one of the Democratic leaders of the State, was at the Grand last evening. He says h' Is not informed as to the arrangements for the Bryan meeting at Zionsville next Wednesday night. xxx Former United Statea Marshal Samuel E. Kercheval returned yesterday from a business trip down Into the First district, where he met a few politicians Incidentally and heard a little gesslp. It is true, he says, that Samuel L. Calhoun, of Evansvllle. will be a candidate for the Republican congressional nomination in the First against Representative James E. Hemeuway. "At least Mr. Calhoun says it Is true, and he certainly ought to know If anybody does," said Mr. Kercheval last evening at the Denison. "I rode from Evansvllle to Princeton with him, aud he told me that he Is a candidate and that he expects to make an agresslve fight for the nomination. I suggested that he had a pretty hard nut to crack, but he is very optimistic and said that he fully expects to get the nomination, if not next year, then two years later He expects to keep after it until he lands it. he sai l. "Calhoun Is a young man, full of energy, and very capable, I ( understand. He is said to be a good campaigner, with a natural gift of oratory, which he has doubtleaa inherited from his Kentucky ancestors, but for all that I am inclined to believe he Is butting his head against a stone wall when he atempts to beat Hemenway next or two years later. Hemenway will be made chairman of the committee on appropriations this winter, according to the general understanding, and in that position he will be able to render such service to his district that he will be returned to 'o. -grass as long as he desires to go, or until a Teneral upheaval com, such as the country has experienced once or twice, when tht Democrats sweep everything. The First district is safely Republican, and I think Hemenway and his friends are not in the least coneerned over any oppition that can be rallied against him. either (or the nomination or for the election." Mr. Kercheval says there are still echoes of the late riot in Evansvllle. and that it Is thought there thut the affair may have bone little political effect, although the ii

puhlivans do not fenr there will be any disastrous results to the party. Individuals. rather than the party, will be affected. party a x x Dr. James Carter, who has announced that he is a candidate for mayor of Indianapolis on an independent ticket as an uncompromising Kansas City platform Democrat, held a conference with a few of his friends la.-t evening, at the conclusion of which he stated that a complete dtjr ticket will be brought out. with himself at the head and candidates for all the other city offices except ward councilmeu. 'The ticket has be?n partially filled already." he said, "but we will not give out the names of other candidates until the ticket is completed and we are ready to start our petition to have it placed on the ballets." Although the ti ket will be labeled "independent," all the candidates will be Democrats, and Democrat! or UM uyed-in-the-wool variety that are a source of continual joy and inspiration to Mr. liryan. It has been suggested that Dr. Carter expacta ;o become the beneficiary of the advice Hryan will give his followers in the city who are asking him what they shall do iu the municipal fight. XXX O. M. Enyart, of Peru, former private secretary of Representative George W. Stecie, was at the Claypool yesterday. XXX Will Beach, county treasurer, George G. Parks, county attorney, and Henry Nobes. county assessor, of Iaifayette. were here yesterday to appear before the State Tax Board. xxs It appears that the contest for the RepubUcan senatorial nomination in the district J composed of Henry and Hancock counties is to be made a three-cornered fight between three well-known Henry county Re publicans. Senator A. D. Ogborn, of New Castle, is a candidate for renomination, former State Chairman Charles S. Hernly. of New Castle, also covets the toga, and now it is announced that E. L Eliott. better kuown as "Joe" Elliott, of Middletowu. will probably be a candidate. Mr. Elliott, il is said, has not indicated that he will inaae tne race, out nis menus over tne county are insistent that be become a can didate, and under the circumstances he can do little else than yield to the pressure and shy hia castor into the ring. It he does get into the contest it is a foregone conclusion that it will be lively, for he has been working at the game of politics for years, aud is weil versed in all its intricacies. BRITISH AUXILIARY NAVY TERMS OF AGREEMENT WITH THE MERCANTILE MARINE COMPANY. Veseela of the International Line to Be Subject to Requisition in Time of War. LONDON, Aug. 6 The agreement of the International Mercantile Marine Company with the British Admiralty and the Board of Trade is published in a Parliamentary paper to-night, it provides that the British companies included in the combine shall remain on a footing of equality with other British companies in respect to any military, naval or postal services that the British government may require from the Brit ish mercantile marine. No British ship in the combine shall be transferred to a for eign registry without the consent of the president of the Board of Trade. The ves sels shall continue to be officered by British subjects, and carry the same proportion of British sailors as is prescribed in the case of any other British ship eugaged in the same line of trade. The vessels shall still be subject to hire or purchase by the Admiralty on the same t"rms as existed prior to the combination. At least a moiety of the tonnage built or acquired during the existence of the agreement shall be regis tered as British. Any company hereafter taken into the combination shall be subject to the same terms. The British companies Included in the combine shall continue to be British companies qualified to own British ships, and at least a majority of their directors shall be British subjects. Nothing shall be done to Jeopardize the present British register. or the right of a vessel to fiy the British riasr. Auy British company hereafter ab sorbed by the combine shall be subject to the conditions of the agreement, and the combine shall advise the British government of any other lines of whatever na tionality they may be that may hereafter be absorbed, The agreement shall continue for twenty years, dating irom &ept. zz, iwz, and shall bo terminable thereafter at five years' no tice on either fide. It is provided that the British government has the right to terminate the agreement at any time should the combine pursue a policy injurious to the interests of the British mercantile marine or British trade. The International Mer cantile Marine Company agrees that the chairman of its British committee shall accept service on behalf of the American company of any process or other document aris ing in connection witn tne agreement.

GREAT FUNCTION ON SUNDAY CORONATION CEREMONIES IN ST. PE TER'S TO LAST FIVE HOIKS. Sixty Thousand Tickets to Be laaned. and the Exerclaes Will Be I nuaually lmpreaaive. ROME, Aug. 6 The attention of Rome is now centered on the solemn coronation ceremonies w hich are to occur on Sunday and for which great preparations are making. The throne of St. Peter, which t'ius X will occupy, will be surmounted by a canopy forty feet high. The function will consume five hours. The Pope has informed the Vatican officers that he wishes to be received on the threshold of the basilica by Cardinal Rampolla, who, as arqhpriest of the church, wiil address th formal gr. cl ings to him. At the conclusion of the ceremony the Pope will confer his blessing upor the people, but it has not yet been decided whether he will do so iuside the church or from the balcony looking out on the piazza, where many hoped he would b- stow his benediction on the day of his election. It is said that Plus is favorable to the latter plan, but that the influence of the Vatican officers is against it ou the ground that It might be interpreted as a recognition of the present state of affairs In Italy. The holding of the coronation ceremonies In St. Peter's Itself represents a concession, as in the case of Leo it occurred in the Sistine Chapel. It is expected that 60,000 tickets will be issued for the event. The ceremonies will be performed accord ing to a rite dating from the latter part of the fourteenth century. As the Pope enters the church a clerk of the Papal Chapel holds up before him a reed surmounted by a handful of flax. This is lighted and it flashes up a moment and dies out at once as the chaplain chants "Pater Sancte, Sic Transit Gloria Mundi Holy Father, thus passeth away the world's glory." This is done three times. The mass is then be gun as usual, but before the lncensation of the altar the "blessing of the Pontiffelect" is pronounced by three cardinal bishops, each of whom recites a prayer over him. After the collects come the socalled laudes, that Is the three-fold supplications to God for the welfare of the new Pope. The coronation itself bakes place after the mass, in the balcony over the portico of St. Peter's, overlooking the great piazza. The second cardinal deacon takes off the mitre, which until now the Pope has worn, and then the senior car dinal deacon (Macohi) places the tiara on his head and all the people cry out "Kyrie Eleison." The Pope reckons his pontificate from his coronation day; although, of course, he is Popo from the day of his election. In the consistories to be held Monday and Thursday next the Pope will confer the red hat on Cardinals Ajuti, Taliani, Katschthaler and Xferrero y Esplnosa, who were raised from the purple on June 25, but who have not received these symbols of rank because of the Illness and death of Leo. It Is believed that the Spanish cardinal, Herrero, will not be able to be present at the coronation ceremonies. a - RECEPTION TO DIPLOMATS. Multicolored Costumes Set Off the Pope's Robe of White. ROME. Aug. 6. During one full hour this morning there seemed to be nothing but vibrating sounds, so penetrating were the strokes of the bells of about five hundred churches, which, all ringing together, absorbed ail other noises. The ringing was In honor of the election of Piux X, an Innovation ordered by Cardinal Reaphigl, vicar of Rome, who issued special Instructions therefor. All the churches contemporane ously celebrated masses for the event. The ""1"rt aoth,r purpo.ethat of ringing In the great ceremony of the reception of the diplomatic bodv ac credited to the Holy See. Rome has latelv bcfn surfeited with Vatican functions, but that of this morning was so striking that I ' it held its own with the others. The members of the Sacred College gathered before the hour set for the ceremony and held a kind o; informal receptlou, the conclave, short as it was, having brought them cordially together. A procession was then formed. First came the Swiss guards. which gives a peculiar mediaeval splendor to all papal gatherings, then the Palatine guard, followed in irregular ranks by the whole pontifical court la Its multiform and multicolored costumes, the cardinals in all the gorgeousness of their scarlet robes. and the blshop, scarcely less striking In their purple. The Pope, iu spotless white, his gray hair In harmony with his whole attire, and surrouuded by the noble guard, who always remain near his person, went on foot just as the others. The procession having gained the hall of the throne, where the members of the diplomatic body were gathered. Senhor d'Antas. the Portuguese ambassador and dean of the corns, read In a clear voice the I . . a - : M a m couernve greeting 01 nis colleagues, pre senting their homage to the new Pope, and assuring him of their fidelity. Plux X answered with great cordiality, thanking them heartily for their good wishes. All then kissed his hand, and the Pontiff took this opportunity of speaking perrons!! v to each, showing a knowledge of the polities cf the diverse countries which surprha d the diplomats, the new Pontiff being credited with taking small interest in affairs outside of Italy. It was another surprise to them to hear him speak Fleuch, if not fluently, at least with a certain readiness. Altogether the whole audience gave promise of a new era of international cordiality at the Vatican. The Pope has decided to hold a secret consistory on Monday next and a public consistory on the Thursday following. The mayor of Kiese, the birthplace of the new Pope, in replying to nn inquiry wires: "The election of Cardinal Sarto as Pope has aroured indescribable enthusiasm here. The people are preparing- splendid festivities, which have bewn unanimously approved by the city fathers. The village being almost entirely composed of peasants, knows nothing about the policy or tendencies of Pope Pius and I ;irn unable to give you any information oa that point. lie was of the humblest birth." Pius X has appointed his conclavist, Monsignor Bressan, aa his private chaplain, which means that he will also be the Pontiff's chief private secretary. NEXT MEETING IN ST. LOTJIS.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BETHANY PARK, Aug. .The weather bureau has at last favored Bethany Park with an Ideal day, neither too hot nor too cool, and not a drop of rain.

R. Dungan gave his third lecture on the "Letter to the Hebrews." At-9:30 W. P. Aylesworth gave a lecture on "The Province of Personal Work In the Ministry." Professor Aylesworth thinks there is a tendency to underrate the importance of personal work in the ministry. Preachers- are often spoken of as good pastors but poor preachers, offering this as a criticism, when In reality it is a high compliment. Christ was spoken of as tho model pastor, because His great work was done by personal contact. After this lecture, a home missionary rally was held. B. L. Smith, of Cincinnati. and A. B. Phillips, of Augusta, Ga., gave enthusiastic addresses on this subject. At 2 p. m. B. C. Deweese gave tBM fourth lecture in his course of instruction. His previous lectures had led up to the subject of "Bible Authority," a question that is much discussed and has caused no little Confusion. At 3 p. m. A. B. Philputt. of Indianapolis Central Christian Church, gave his third lecture on "HomlUties." Dr. Philputt touched ujon many things that are of importance in the mini try. but placed high In the list good delivery. No preacher wouid appear in the pulpit with unclean collar or crumpled tic, but many came before their people with unkempt. r.-pii.-' N when it could easily be avoided, he said. Dr. Philputt advises voice culture for young preachers, but urges above all things that a maa ha natural, in speaking of gestures he advised preachers to use as few as possible; also advised frequent use of their mirrors to show them just how awkward they looked in most attitudes that are struck for effect. He do-s not approve of the use of nots, and said If they must be used to have them very plain, so that tho congregation need not wait while the preacher is hunting up his points.
