AGAINST THE AGITATORS,
The Anti-Strike Faction of District Assembly
No. LOG Weeds Out Many Troublesome Men.

At the annual meeting of District Assembly
No. LOG, K. of t.. held the latter part of last
week, the assembly was thoroughly reorganized
and much other business transacted that it is
believed will be for the benefit of the order. For
a year or more the different assem- blies have
been carrying their roll books many men who
were not in good standing on account of non
payment of dues. The annual meeting directed
that there should be general wedding out" of
all members not in good standing. and the
work has been begun by the different assem-
blieS. The order will decrease the mem bership
of the district assembly considerably, but, the
leaders believe will make it stronger in char
acter. Another important action was declara-
ton OF opposition to all strikes. 1t is we'll
known that there was much dissatisfaction in
the order of this district during the last year
over the way strikes were declared and then
managed, and it was the signal failure Of all the
strikes that led the assembly to take ground in
opposition to them. In the election of officers
the anti-strlke and auti-agitating faction was
successful, and practical Knights think the or
der will prosper by the change. The election of
officers resulted as follows:
Master workman-John F. White.
Financial and Recording Secretary-L P. Custer.
Executive Committee-Lon McClelland. William
Mankin and Hugh Davy.
The Offices of financial and recording secretary
were consolidated; and by the consolidation. Ed
F. Gould, who has always had an Office in the
assembly. is reduced to the ranks. 1t is said
that Gould is expecting something higher in the
order when the National Assembly meets here
next fall.
The regular monthly meeting of the Central
Labor Union. held last night, was well attended.
Reports were submitted from the representa-
tives from the various trades, showing that
work of all kind was plentiful. A resolution
passed indorsing the CIgar-makers' Union
of Indianapolis for its course in bringing suits
against tha cigar dealers who, it is alleged, are
using counterfeit OF the international blue
label The natural-gas question came mp for
discussion, and a committee was appointed to
present q resolution to the Council, at the next
meeting, protesting against any change in the

FATHER LYNCH'S BIRTHDAY.
It Is Happily Celebrated By the Friends of
the Venerable Old Gentleman.

The eighty first birthday of DR.. Thomas n.
at the home of the reverend gentleman, No 472
North East street. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon
fifty members of the Tippecanoe Club, under

and which, unlike all other articles of food and

The Doctor accepted the gift as a token Of
brotherly love-
Refreshments consistingof coffee sandwiches,
ice cream and cake were served after Rev. Love
Jamison had earnestly invoked the divine bless
ing. Doctor Lynch, himself, passed the salt, as
he said, after the custom of the Arabs, and not
with any idea of insinuating that the members
of the Tippecanoe Club were not we'll preserved.
After lunch. a handsome silk umbrella with
engraved gold handle was presented to Doctor
Lynch and silver cup to Mrs. Lynch These
mementoes came from the members of the Tip
pecanoe Club. and the presentation was made
through DIR. VIM. III. Wisnard, who, in the
conrse of his re marks, said. God never m axes

WORK OF THE CHURCH.
Rev. Hunter Speaks of What 1t Has Done and
Is Doing-Meeting of Methodist Ministers.

The meeting Of Presbyterian ministers yester-
r.. v. Hunter discussed the question Of whether
the church is growing rich and drifting away
from the masses. He did not claim that is was
perfect. and admitted that there was room for
improvement, and il it had swung away from
the masses. it was plain that the church was
not doing the work that 1t had done before. Mr..
Hunter did not believe that the assertions
against the church were true to o very great ex-
tent. He followed the practices of the church
from Moses down 10 the present time, showing
its tender leaning toward the poor
and unfortunate. He also showed
that hospitals and asylums the
outerowth of sympathetic Christianity.
In pursuing his researches upon the question
Mr. Hunter had addressed questions to three
average churches In each synod The answers
to the questions indicated that the cougregs-
tons of the churches to whom the queries had
been addressed were largely and in some
composed entirely or the masses" Mr.. Hunter
closed his address with the argument that the
present state of things could be bettered by
cert of action by Evangelical denominations,
and a larger kindness extended toward strangers
and neighoors.
At the meeting of the Methodist ministers
the relation of evangelists TO regular church

the evangelIsts, Dodge and Smith, who were
present, invited to speak. Mr.. Dodge
spoke of prohibition in Atlanta. and attributed
the recent defeat to wholesale illegal voting.
Mr. Smith spoke Of the prosperity of the
church in the various places he had held revival

al times become discouraged and gone to drink
ing when hard pressed for money, she was afraid
he would again lose heart. and she took the
watch with the intention OF pawning it and pay
ing their rent. Mrs. Yeates testified that Mrs.
Martin had always conducted herself as much of a
lady, and neighoors corroborated her statement.
The judge was moved by the pathetic appeal of
the woman. and said if there any way he
could Let her escape punishment he would 90 so.
He could not acquit her, as she had already
pleaded guilty, and could not, in accordance
with the rules of his court, allow her TO go on a
suspended Judgment, because she of age.
