DIR. wHEELER's LECTURE.
TUESDAY EVENING.

Subject, "The Failure of The
Christian Church"
The lecturer announced that it
might seem strange TO some that
he should select such a subject,
maintaining the relation that he
does to the church.
There are several classes that
claim the church TO be failure
Among these are the scientific
men who cannot examine rock
and find trilobite or look at the
stars through telescope without
pronouncing the church q failure.
There are naturalists, too who
say the same.
Nobody that has any sense will
claim that there are no evils TO
correct, no wrongs to be made
right. The church has acted q
prominent part in civilization for
a thousand years, and If she has
now been demonstrated to be a
failure what shall take her place.
He that knows of anything that
can take her place, may see her
die without tear or regret.
The following charges are
urged against the church:
First, She is old and adheres to
the doctrines of other days.
She is as old as the earth on
which size is planted. She teaches
old doctrines, but the Prophets
taught them, Christ taught them,
the Apostles taught them. They
have come down because they
have q right to come. Neither
science nor theology is based on a
new foundation. The truths which
underlie them are as old as God
himself.
Second, The church is failure
because she stands opposed to sci
encc. The church maintain all
the institutions for the promotion
Of science, while no scientific in
stitution has established single
one. The church asks for and ac-
cepts scientific truth, but has lit
tie confidence in shrewd guesses.

TIE FAIRMoNT ENTERTAINMENT.

THE FAIRMoNT ENTERTAINMENT
We acknowledge the receipt of tick
ct to the grand entertainment to be
given on the Marion county Fair
Grounds on the 18th of October.
Extensive preparations are being
made by its managers and no doubt
a grand time will be had by all who
attend. The military display, which
is to consist Of Sham Battle, Reg
mental Dress Parade, and a Com
petitive Drill, will be worth seeing,
but the Balloon Ascension, by the
young aronaut Of Cincinnati, Ohio,
Mr.. Neil C. Kerr, will be worth more
than anything else that will take
place. ar. Kerr is the youngest
mronaut in the United States, but he
understands his business, having
made over one hundred ascensions
before he arrived at the age of twenty
years. But in addition to what we
have mentioned, there viii be trot-
ting, pacing and running races, some
of the fastest horses in the country
having been secured. The pro-
aramme for the day is quite lengthy,
bat it viii be carried out in every
particular, and twenty-five cents will
admit you into the grounds to see all
the attractions. All the military of
this end of the State and some from
Pennsylvania will be present, and
the display it will make will be mag
nifcent and altogether different from
anything ever seen in this part of
the country.

DEATH OF THOs. q. WILSON
a Young and PromisfmE Life
Gone Out all TOO Soon.


Gone Out all TOO Soon.
The announcement of the death of
Mr.. Thos. C. Wilson, Clerk of the
Municipal Court, is one which will
bring the most profound sorrow to
large circle of friends and acquaint-
ances. For nearly year the deceased
felt the insidious encroachment of
disease, but he remained at his post
in the Municipal court until about
three months ago, when he was tax
en- sick with typhoid pneumonia, from
which he partially recovered, only
to linger along and alternately raj
ly and kindle hopes Of recovery, and
then relapse A hemorrhage of the
lungs which occurred about two
weeks ago, however, awakened the
serious apprehensions of his friends,
and his mother and sister were tele-
graphed for, and have since their ar
rival remained with him, ministering
to the tender care he has constantly
re :eived during his illness at the
home of his brother, Hon E. NJ. Will
son. Death ended all between 10
and II o'clock this morning. The
deceased was aged 80 years, and had
resided in this city five or six years,
during which time he studied law,
but became clerk of the Probate
Court when Judge Babcock became
Judge four years ago. He remained
clerk OF the Probate Court until his
appointment to the position of clerk
of the Municipal Court, little more
than year and half ago. In both
positions he was both efficient and
popular. and had that rare quality of
most generous and gentlemanly treat
ment Of every one with whom he
came in contact-and in his position
high and low alike were brought in
contact with him. lie was an ex-
ceptionally fine young man, capable,
Industrious genial-a man of the
highest integrity, of spotless eharac-
ter, and a gentleman, in the strictest
sense of the word, upon every occa-
sion. He knew no enemieg-had
none-and his popularity was as wide
as his acquaintance. 1t was popu-
larity, too, that was the spontaneous
admiration and regard for qualities
of heart and mind which were in
themselves sufficient to endear him
to a very large number of friends.
His death then is universally regret
ted and has brought pang of sor-
row to many people to-day. The de
ceased was brother of Hon. +. NJ
Wilson, Mrs.5W. w. McNair and f.
w. Wilson, Of this city, and he had
other near relatives residing in the
East. including his mother and the
sister with him at the time Of his
death. The funeral is announced to
occur at the residence of his brother,

LAST Sunday was the day Of Atone
ment Yom Kipur according to the
Jewish reckoning and is considered
by the Jewish reckoning and is CON
sidered by the Isaralites as their
hottest day. 1t is observed by fast
ing and prayer. On the 18th inst,
was the Jewish New Year which is
ton days previous to Yom Kipur.
This was the beginning of the five
thousand, six hundred and thirty
fourth year of the worlds history, by
their reckoning not including the
Christian era.
