INDIANAPOLIS CHURCHES.
What Amount of Money Is Paid by Our
People for Churches and Charity.
More than Twenty Thousand People Attend
ing Sabbath Services-An Excess Of Four
Thousand Women In Membership.

A few days ago, in the narrative OF Rev. Clark
tion of small town in Missouri, called Liberal.
the inhabitants of which are all infdels and
atheists, the suggestive statement was made
that $3.50 year could not be raised from among
the entire population of free-thinkers for de-
fraying the expenses of their meetings and that
nothing whatever was given to charity By them.
IF these things be true the town is, by contrast.
something of an illustration of the influence OF
religion upon people and communities. There
are few towns, worthy the name, that do not
contribute from $1,000 70 q, 900 a year to their
churches for She expenses of religions work
There is no man so poor that he must deny
himself the pleasure satisfaction to be derived
from the devotional services of the Christian
churches. The gospel is free to everybody.
1t is as free as the air The
unknown stranger is as welcome to the common
privileges of the church as to the streets or
public parks of the city. Yet. this tree gospel Is
an expensive thing There are hundreds OF
people in Indianapolis who receive its benefits
without paying more than the small contribu-
tinns collected during the services Sundays,
but they give voluntarily what they feel they are
able to spare from their earnings. and no one
does more. The church is apublic institution,
dapendent ~ih5iily crrn thsSe voluntary contri-
buttons from approving citizens for its support,
and yet, without any regular or uniform system
of assessments upon the members of it's congre
cations the church fourishes as the most
numerous of public institutions. The basis
npon which it exists is consistent with its fun

WHAT MEN DO AT CLUBS.
Answer to Correspondent Who Wants to
Know How to Start Woman's Club.

Answer to Correspondent Who Wants to
Know How to Start Woman's Club.
New York Commercial Advertiser.
One principal thing that men do when they go
to the club is nothing. They saunter about,
look over the newspapers, say How are you,
Jack?" and How goes it Harryl" and otherwise
rest. Sometimes they talk politics, and-let us
whisper it very low in your ear-sometimes,
once in great while, mind you, they talk lit
tie scandal. Sometimes they drink-lemonade,
and eat sandwiches or eanyas-back ducks,
or, whatever else they fancy. Frequent
~ they look at pictures. It is i'm
possible to tell our correspondent who
speaks 'for virgins precisely what she and her
companions should do with club, except, per
haps, stay away from it, But we can tell her
some thugs that must not he done if the club
is to prosper. There must be no original papers
read, and no speeches made, except post
prandial ones. The subjects of gossip must
never be members of the club. In o woman's
club we should say there ought never to be an
election for president There is no president of
the Authors Club, we believe, for a like reason
Members of the club should never drink more
apolllnarls water, etc, than is geod for
them. and If the club is to prosper re-
ally well there should not be a smoking
room. The existence OF such a room
always tends to the concentration of all the
goodfellowship in one apartment, leaving non
smokers TO wander aimlessly about the other
rooms. No, there ought never to he o smoking
room In a club Smoking ought to 60 on freely
in all the rooms. If the attendance at the
wonan's club at any time falls slack it will be
well to invite company Of gentemen-unmar-
ried ones are best-as guests, and to notify
every member of the fact. This can be done by
printed postal card, and then, if any particularly
fascinating young woman who makes herself
hateful at balls by monopolizing the best part
ners, fails TO receive the notification, the blame
can be land on the postofIice which is notorious
ly careless in handling postal cards.

There were three maidens who loved king:
They sat together, beside the sea.
One cried, Il love him. and wonld die
Ii but for day he might love me-"
The second whispered, ''And would die
To gladden. his heart make him great"
The third one spoke not but gazed atar
With dreamy eyes that were sad as fate.
The king beloved the first for day,
The second his life with fond love blessed,
And yet the woman who never spoke
Was the one of the three who loved him best.
