Another Methodist Protests.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journals
AS a Methodist wish to protest against
the proposed OfficiOus action of the Method
ist ministers in doing what Rev. DR.. Ford
says ''will only tend to drag General Har-
rison into an embarrassing position" in re-
gard to the Inauguration ball. In the first
place, it is none of their business. If Gen
eral Harrison was Methodist there might
be some little reason for these ministers be-
ing solicitOus that his actions should not
infringe any of the rules of the Dicipline of
the Nj. T.. Church; but on the contrary, he
is an honored and respected member of the
Presbyterian Church, and is only accounta-
BILE to the authorities of that church for his
social actions. In the next place, very few,
If any, of the ministers in sympathy with
this movement, voted for Mr.. Harrison; bat
were pronounced third party men; one of
them, as am informed, going SO far in his
opposition to the Republican candidate as
to consent to preside at the Helen
from so doing by the vigorous protest of
some of the prominent members of his
church. / can imagine how Democrat,
after being beaten in fair, honorable
fight, and accepting the verdict of the ma
jority, might offer advice and make sug-
gestions to the incoming administration in
regard to the conduct of national affairs,
but for third-party man, who permitted
himself, under a cloak of great moral re-
form, to be used by the Democrats to at
tempt the defeat of General Harrison, and
stab to death the Republican party, to die
tate to the new President just how he
should conduct himself in his social rela-
tons with the people. is certainly an exhi-
bition of cheek and officious meddling
reaching the superlative degree. 1t will be
next in order for Helen Cougar to volun-
teer advice to Mrs. Harrison as to the size
of her hustle and the cut of her gowns, or
for his Reverence, the Pope. to protest
against the Methodists burying their dead
in unconsecrated ground. j. w. T.

The Board of Health wrangle is dis

STEVENS & SON.
Agricultural Implements.

American inventors have aston
ished the world with their inventive
genius and in no department has
this been more noticeable than in the
many late improvements in farm
machinery. Of course the true aim
IN all these improvements is to pro
ducc machines that will do the work
better, quicker and easier, than it
could be done by the Old methods
Hence those improvements that meet
these demands will be the most
sought after and dealers are not
slow to learn this fact. This fact is
well illustrated by an examination
of the stock of goods now on exhibit
ion at the rink by Stevens & Son
SUCCESSORS to Miller Bros, Mr.

Fish Baked with Wine.

An excellent way to serve fish is to bake it
with wine, and for this the following is Mrs.
Henderson's recipe: Soak some bread in
water, squeeze it dry and add an egg well
beaten. Season with pepper, salt and little
parsley or thyme. Stuff the fish with this
dressing Grease the baking pan tono just
right size for holding the fish with butter;
season the fish on top and put it in the pan
with about two cups of boiling water; basic
it well, adding more boiling water when nee
essary. About twenty minutes before serv-
ing pour over it a cup of sour wine and a
small piece of butter; put half q lemon sliced
into the gravy; basic the fish well again.
When it is thoroughly baked remove it from
the pan; garnish tine top with the slices of
lemon; finish the sauce in the baking dish by
adding a little butter rubbed to paste in
some -four; strain, skim, and serve in sauce

ing Bit of Decorative Furnishing
A novel and very charming curtain is a
''marine" of sea green satin with large fish
applioued on it. These fish are made of gold
and silver gauze over red and gray silk
respectively. Some have velvet heads sand
beaded eyes, and all have scales worked in
silk. Over the sea green foundation two
nets of fine string are artistically draped,
one dark brown, the other of a reddish tone.
These hang from thick silk cord fastened to
each end of the curtain rod, carried right
across down each side, threaded through the
nets and knotted at intervals. The nets are
wide, and are caught up into graceful folds,
leaving the foundation exposed in places.
