keeper of a dsorderiy resort in New York who
dares harbor girls under fourteen years of age
Indeed, there has never been demand for them

the case in London"
The most thorough searches OF the town con-
firm Jenkins's assertion Superintendent Muir
ray, of the police, zsays that brothel keepers are
beset by youthful girls whom they do not dare
to employ, and for whom there is no urgent
demand. Commissioner Brennan who has
supervision of the juvenile prisons, declares
that ninety nine in hundred of the girls ncar-
cerated for viciousness, owe their downfall to
their own carelessness and folly alone. and not
to allurement or compulsion on the part of eld-
ers. Matron Webb, to whom arrested children
are temporarily committed on being taken to
police headquarters, says that in over ten years
of service she has never known of a single case
analogous to those described as horribly common
in London, Nothing is surer than that the Pail
Mall Gazette sensation cannot be duplicated
conscientiously here in New York.
A point OF sensational interest in the London
disclosures is the charge that certain Americans
who frequently visit England are involved in
the evidence submitted to the commission. Cos.
sip is free as to identities, and it may be said
that no man of leisure and conviviality who has
spent any time at all on the other side of the
ocean within few years past is let alone by idle

A GREAT REVIVAL
To Be Brought About in the Protestant
Episcopal Church.


Special to the indianapolis JournaL
New YORK, July 1s-A meeting was held
to-day, in Holy Trinity Church, to complete the
arrangements for what, according to expecta-
ton will be the greatest revival of religion ever
seen in America. The enterprise is within the
Protestant Episcopal Church, where revival
methods have hitherto been unknown and gen
orally disapproved. To days conference was the
last before the dispersal of the interested clergy
men and others, for their summer recreation.
On October l3 they will 60 to Garrison's, up the
Hudson, to prepare themselves by meditation,
prayer, and instruction, for the work which they
will Immediately thereafter undertake. Ten
evangelists will be brought over from England,
including the celebrated Capel Cure and
Canon Furse. All are Church of
England clergymen, experienced in exhor
tation. Three of them will act as teachers
during the retreat at Garrson's, and the rest
will arrive in October, For the sake of familiar
izing themselves with American audiences, they
will scatter through neighbering cities, to hold
short missions. The services in New York will
begin simultaneously in thirteen churches on the
Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Assistant Bishop Potter is at the head of this
singular movement, and majority of the Epis-
copal clergy are thoroughly aroused; but there
Is strong opposition, nevertheless, by those
wealthy and fashionable people who have so long
regarded Episcopalianism as something too
exclusive to be freely opened to the masses.
While rector of Grace Church, Potter offended
some of his parishioners by sermons in which
ne declared that the rich were not doing their
duty to the poor. The projected revival is
planned by him especially to bring working
people into the church He thinks that the
Episcopal denomination can be made the most
popular in existence, and next winters work is
intended to accomplish that end.
Episcopaanism in New York is already in q
turmoil of expectation. 1t is remarked that the
scheme has had no countenance from Trinity
Church. The Holy Trinity mentioned above is
different establishment Although invited to
import an evangelist, as ten other churches have
agreed to do, Trinity has declined to spend any
Of its enormous income for that purpose, and
mono of its nine rectors and curates have taken
any part in the preliminaries The weathiest
and most pretentious of New York families
including the Astors, are potent in the manage
ment of Trinity, and they do not look with favor
upon any popuarization of their denomination.
The Astors have especially taken that ground.
How much of a-hindrance this opposition will
make remains to be seen. Rector Dix, of Trim
ity a son of the late General John A. Dix, is a
pronounced enemy of the revivalstc devices
which are to be employed.

His Offensive Partisanship in the Matter of
Removals from Office.
Special to the Indiana polls Journal.
WASHINGTON. July 18-An Indianian said to-
day it was not improbable that General Black,
Commissioner of Pensions, would be convicted.
IN the execution Of his duties of viciousness.
Several removals have been made in the Pension
Bureau, on grounds of alleged Offensive parti-
sanship," which appear to have been more from
spirit of vindictiveness and malice than any,
thing else The Hooser told mo Of recent
removal by General Black, in instance. 1t was
that of Capt j. G. Ballou, Of Logansport Ind.
Ballou, who was special agent, or examiner,
was located at Danville ILL.,, whence General
Black came to this city. 1t was charged
that Ballou was very soon found to be
an officer that General Black could not handle to
his satisfaction, and since it might be necessary
to want a pliable examiner at the Generals
own home town, Balou was readily selected for
removal He was charged, of course, with being
"ofensvely partisan" True, he was good
but he did not 90 anything during the campaign
that could be laid against him on political
grounds.
Ballou has written letter here in which he
lays forth complaints, and it is probable that
inquiry into the matter will not develop to GEN
intimation of the contents of the letter. and
they point to personal motives on the part of
General Black in making the removal

A STARTLING STORY.
A Sane Woman, Worth $4,000, Kept in an
Asylum by Her Son and Friend.

MONTREAL, July 18.-Proceedings have been
instituted on behalf of a woman at present con-
aned in Tongue Pointe Asylum, which may
prove to be as startling and interesting as the
Rose Lyman case. Her name is Mary Power,
and she came here few years ago from Youg
hall, ireland, having $4,000 Five years ago
she was confined on application of
her son and curator of her es
/. tate, who together are now handling her
property. Her sister in Ireland hearing of the
fact of her incarceration at once came over, ar
irving week ago. She proceeded to the
asylum where her sister was confined, and the
latter exclaimed: "Oh, Helen, how thankful
am you have come. Get me out of this hell. l
am not insane" The sister summoned several
of the most prominent physicians in the city,
who, in company with the asylum physicians
both resident and visiting, unanimously de-
clared the woman to be perfectly sane
The petition for her release presented to
Mr.. Justice Jette, and the writ was ordered to
issue Immediately, returnabe on Friday.
Service made upon the lady superioress,
Sister Therese, through Messrs. Downe &
Lanctot, acting for the interdict and her sister.
Opposition is expected from the curator and her
son. She has been kept for the past five years
in close confinement, and treated as % raving
maniac, and allowed no intercourse with the
outside world. She has many relatives of the
same name in New York city and Boston, who
have believed her dead until this time.
