Last Sunday evening. as the sun was
sinking in the western horizon, a FIRE
was noticed encircling this place, and
at no greater distance than twenty
miles to the north sand west. The
scene that Immediately followed was
too horrible to be thclght lightly of.
The whole heavens seemed as one
mass of seething. kissing fire. The
roar that accompanied the flames as
they darted upward, was enough to

minutes the citizeiss turned out

Then to meet the creeping flames ap-

Pine-WOOd Baths I'm Pulmonary Gases.
At some of the watering places of
Germany. the very siraplc prescription
of the physician is. that the patient
should spend several hours a day walk
ing or riding through the pine wood.
This simple treatment Is said to be
sometimes supplemented by the taking
of pine baths, and in the case of kidney
diseases and for delicate children, this
is claimed to be highly beneficial. The
bath is prepared by pouring into the
water about half tnmblerful of an
extract made from thes fresh needles of
the pine; this extract b dark in color
and closely resembles molasses in con-
sistency, and when poured into the
bath gives the water 4 muddy appear

Indiana,s School System.

The Indiana school exhibit at the National
Educational Institute, held at Madison, Wis,
doubtless the greatest affair of the kind ever
known in the country, was generally compli
mented, and the examining committee in their
published report, which has just been received
here speaks of it as follows:
'The part that the schools of Indiana have
taken in previous expostions was shown by di
plomas won at Philadelphia in 1876, and at Paris
in 1878. The exhibit of State reports, and Of va
condition of education in the State, was very
complete. The systematic manner in which the
State examinations and teachers Institutes are
conducted was clearly shown. The exhibit of
town and city schools was well arranged, con-
sisting of manuscripts showing the character of
work from primary up to high-school. The cit
les of LaPorte and Lafayette made special dis
plays of art and kindergarten work. The ex-
hibit of drawing and specimens of work from
fifty pupils i'll each of the grades from the first
to the eighth year, made by the schools of
Lafayette, was highly creditable. The exhibit
of country schools was quite varied, consisting
of manuscripts, map-drawing mechanical draw
ings and drawing of school-houses in one county
(St Joseph.) Interesting collections of speci-
mems of forest wood was shown. No such ex-
hibit can adequately represent the schools of a
State, but from such exhibits much may be
learned of the organization and working of edu-
catonal systems; and from the systematic ar
rangement and operation of the school system of
Indiana, as here shown, some older States might
learn valuable lessons"

THE FLAG WAS OUT.
A Ragged Reuben's Protest Against Display
ing the Flag ON Gen. Grants Birthday.

When Journal reporter sauntered down to
the State Building, yesterday afternoon, at
o'clock. and found the place looking about as pa
triotic as haystack, he was prompted by a de-
sire to see respectful observance OF the day in
accordance with the public request expressed
over the signature, among others, of Governor
Gray. to inquire if there was such thing as a
dag in the possession of the State officers. An
affirmative answer was given by Mr.. Myron D.
King the Assistant Secretary of State
''Why is it not displayed to-dayl" was asked
"WhyT was the answer.
Don't you know that this is General Grants
birthdayln
well, I hadn't thought of that" answered
Mr. King Certainly the flag ought to be out
Colonel Rice is the custodian of the building, and
has charge of the flag. He's out of the city and
suppose that his deputy has not thought about
the matter But then we will have flag out at
this Office in about two minutes, and you must
give US credit for it."
As the Assistant Secretary threw to the breeze
flag about 16x30 in size, the janitor, George
Sourwine. a man whose gray hairs indicate an
age of fifty five or sixty years, jeeringly cried
out: 'Oh, no, that's the last thing I'd do"
Its Grants birthday" responded the Assist
art Secretary.
What of that" answered the servant of the
State, hes no more than any other man."
.Oh, yes he is, was protested
"Pshaw! Humbugp contemporary rejoined
Janitor Sourwine, who happens to be in the en-
ploy Of the State on account of services to the
Desiocratic party.

THE PULPIT OF TO-DAY.
The Methodist Ministers of the City Discuss
the Subject Of Doctrinal Preaching.

The Methodist ministers of the city met as
usual yesterday morning. The programme COM
mittee reported as the subject for discussion at
the next meeting, ''The Communistic Ten
denotes in the Christian Church" The topic
under discussion was 1.-THE Pulpit of To-day and
It's Relation to Theology which was opened by
Rev. J. w. Duncan, who said: There has never
been time when the pulpit has been more true
to its mission. 1t is no answer to this to say
that there are some who are loose in their teach
ings; it has even been so. The pulpit, untram-
meled by Pope or potentate, makes it impossible
for any evil or abuse to 60 unrebuked.
1t is said that there is less theology
to-day than formerly There may be less of
some kinds of theology now than formerly.
Questions have been settled, and there is no
need OF their discussion The great doctrines
that are necessary to human salvation are being
preached today instead of dogmatical state
ments of sectarianism."
Mr.. Asbury said: II have only been following
two preachers this year-Drs. Talmage and
Sturgeon. 1 find that Sturgeon is a
doctrinal preacher, while Talmage is not.
preachers are moro practical rather than doc
trinal in teaching"
DR.. Alabaster said ''There are two things
which will help in answering this question:
FIRST, 1T is not q time when doctrinal preaching
is forced upon US. Not long ago we were in the
period when new churches were being formed.
The foundation for new churches is a
difference in opinion doctine. Second,
formerly there were not SO many outside things
to preach about Our great benevolent and
charitable institutions must be noticed in the
pulpit. Also, peculiar sins to be combatted,
such as base ball on Sunday, theaters, Sunday
railroading, etc."
DR.. Marine said that he doubted the idea that
doctrinal preaching was not acceptable; dogmat-
ical sectaTianism may be, but as to the former
thought it is undoubtedly incorrect Plain,
scriptural, expository preaching will be better
received than any other kind.
DR.. Mcconnell said: Il want light. Should we
yield to the demand for the discussion of these
outside subjectsa The bad theology of people is
responsible for their bad practices"
Mr. Schaa II have been impressed with this
fact, that many preachers have made mistake
in trying to be attractive rather than expound-
ing the Scriptures faithfully and earnestly"
DR.. Lynch called attention to a remark of
Bishop Ames. that "Methodists were the only
people that could preach their entire doctrines.
Rev. NJ McCoomer made statement Of the
condition of Simpson Church, the only Methodist
Episcopal church in the city for colored people.
The entire Indebtedness amounts to 1886 IS.
They are struggling hard and doing all they can
to pay this debt, and as it is the only M. E.
colored CHURCH in the city it appeals strongly to
the Methcdists of Indianapolis.
