First baptist Church Festival.

The festival at the First Baptist Church,
which has been going on for week, has
been quite success, financially aud other
wise. The Nineteenth-street Baptist Church
is one Of the largest colored churches in the
city. The members of that church under
took some years ago to rebuild, and they
succeeded in having erected as fine, as grand
an edifce as may be found in tbe West End,
but, of course, heavy debt has been borne
by its members ever since. And what made
the burden still more heavy to carry was
the withdrawal of a number of well-to-do
members of that church, in consequence of
dissatisfaction with the then pastor. Many
of its well-wishers began to think that the
magnificent structure on the corner of Nine
teenth and streets northwest would have
to be sold to pay of the debt of the building,
but under the pastoral charge Of Rev.
Walter II. Brooks it has steadily prospered.
The festival now running at that church
was gotten up by Mr.. A. S. Jones, Miss Ro-
setta Coakley, and other active members.

Gases of Fair Dealing in the Desert
of Human Life.

In some cases recently the newspapers are
speaking of equity ruling where the law does
not give remedy-especially in the case of a
corporation Corporations are often soulless).
The Louisiana State Lottery Company-a lady
No. 43,713, which drew the first prize of $780,
O00) had been fraudulently obtained; after
litigation the contestants compromised ami.
cably, each taking half. lady residing In
New York city had lost her ticket in the mall,
but on application to NJ. A. Dauphin, presi.
dent Of the Louisiana State Lottery Co., at New
Orleans, La, obtained the number, learned 1t
had drawn $4,000, filed caveat, proved her
right, and after proper delay had her money
paid to her. Such acts make one think that
there are oases of fair dealing In the desert OF
human life.

The PennsYIyanin Wnx.

This is the story OF Pennsylvania's most
bashful young man. He lives at Reading, and
had courted young woman In mild sort OF
way for long time, but never had been able
to make known his intentions In an Ineligible
manner. During his leisure moments he
taught the young lady telegraphy, and last
week gained her consent to stretch n telegraph
wire Between her home and his boarding
house. The first message that came to the
young woman was u proposal OF marriage.
Although the answer was all that any reason
able person could expect, yet the young man
was so difident that he did not venture near
the house for four days. Electric communlca-
tion finally became too slow, however, and tho
young man went to the house in person. The
wire and telegraph instruments are now for

OF such importance as to demand the attend
ance of every Republican editor in the State.
We hope to see a very large attendance.
Both parties are regarding the press with
increasing respect, as the influence of the
press upon party politics and party policies
is increasing; and in view of the future of
the Republican party in the State, and the
alignment for the important canvass of 1884,
there is necessity that Thursdays meeting be
full and representative. Let no editor re-

ceived this morning Geographic information
of the sudden death, this afternoon, at his
home in Wisconsin, of Postmaster-general
Howe. In consequence of this sad and I'M
expected event the dinner which was to
have been given on Tuesday by the President

as the guest of the nation, will not take
place. The reception to have been given the
same distinguished guest by Secretary FIRE.
linghuysen on Wednesday evening will not

Judge Howe's wife died in 1881, and his
only surviving relatives are his son, Frank;

not Interfere between the nations of the Old
World, the Christian world should raise its
voice in protest. After Mr.. Beecher had
spoken, the chief of the embassy replied in
his native tongue, which was interpreted to
the congregation. He spoke of his nation
striving to rise in the scale of civilization
and prayed that the intentions of France
might be frustrated and his nation permit
ted to retain possession of their island in
peace. By motion of Mr.. Beecher, resolu-
tons were adopted giving ''the right HAND of
fellowship to these brethren, ?" and expressing
the warmest sympathy for the sovereign
citizens of Madagascar in their struggle for
liberty and independence, and we protest in
the name of God, liberty and republicanism,
against interference by any Christian state,
and especially any state calling itself repub-
lican, with the internal affairs of the Island
of Madagascar"

IN the death of Postmaster-general Howe,
Madison. Wis, one of the prominent actors
in the political history of the country has
passed from a life of usefulness and honor.
Timothy o. Howe was born in Livermore,
then a backwoods town of Maine, in 1916.
His early education was received at the viii
lage school-house, in which only the rudi-
ments of reading, writing and arithmetic
were taught. He afterward studied law, and
at the age of twenty-three was admitted to
the bar. In early life he was an ardent
Wing, and a great admirer of Henry CLAY,
and on that platform, at the age of twenty
nine, was elected to a seat in the Maine Leg
~islature, which he quilted after a few months
to go to Green Bay, Wis, where he resumed
the practice of his profession. He there
became judge of the Circuit Court,
then judge OF the Supreme Court,
and finally Chief Justice of the State.
In 1857 he was a candidate for United
States senator, but was defeated because he
refused to subscribe to a Republican caucus
resolution to the effect that each State was
the final judge of the constitutionality Of
the laws of the United States. The outbreak
of the rebellion indicated his position on
the States rights issue, and in 1861 he was
tr%iumphantly elected to the United States
Senate. His services there were Of such q
character that he was continued through
three terms, leaving the Senate in 1879,
eighteen years later. In that year he was
defeated, the vote in caucus being nearly
equally divided between him, e. w. Reyes
and ex-senator Carpenter. In March, 1881,
he was appointed by President Garfield as
one OF the three American delegates to the
monetary conference held in Paris in the

The Succession.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal

special 10 the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, March 25.-No member of
the cabinet was more highly respected in
Washington than Postmaster-general Howe,
and no member was more generally liked
personally. The announcement of his death
is, therefore, received with expressions of
unfeigned sorrow; nevertheless, statesmen
of small degree are already engaged in specu-
lation as to the succession, and noisly assert
ing that this man and that man and some
other man will receive the appointment.
The name of Frank Hatton, first assistant,
is by common consent given precedence over
all others, but it is by no means certain that
he will get the office. Wisconsin will max e
a determined effort to retain her representa-
ton in the cabinet, and Wisconsin is not
without influence with the administration.
Ex-representatives Pond, Williams and
Hazelton will nave their friends, and Payne,
the Milwaukee postmaster, who was strongly
backed for the postmaster-generalship when
Garfield made up his cabinet, will be heard
from. Burrows and Lacey, of Michigan, are
also mentioned, and Calkins, of Indiana, as
well. Altogether, there will not be a lack of
talent, and it is not likely the President will
have to go out of his way to find an accepta-
BILE man.
