Large City Needs.

There are localities in every one OF our
great cities, says the Christian UrlaOn, that
are the suburbs of hell Post-mortem
preaching in hades would have as much
hope as preaching in some OF these locali-
ties, while we do nothing to improve them.
There ought to be straightwav organized
in New York City company with at least
81 100000 capital TO erect either in New
York City tenements, or in the vicinity,
cottages which would make possible
decent home for men Of incomes not ex-
ceeding S1.50 a day.
What democratic America needs is a
democratic Christianity. We can not
travel to heaven in first-class and second
class coaches. Our schools are democratic,
our conveyances are democratic, our thea
tiers are democratic; it is only our churches
that keep Dives and Lazarus apart. The
rich and poor meet together except when
they pretend to reflect that the Lord is
the maker of them all then they separate
to worship Him. Ecclesiastical
soup-houses can not take the place of
Christian churches.
If workingmen are able TO form their
own primaries, organize their own labor
unions, direct the affairs OF their own
lodges, they are not incompetent to
govern their own churches. The
babe cannot grow until the umbilical
cord is cut. What we want in our church
less wards is churches, not missionary
chapels. The poor resent pat
ronage; are jealous of their independ-
ence; but covet sympathy and fellowship,
and they are right. Whatever refuses
them fellowship and offers them patronage
is rejected, and such rejection is to their
honor

Early Christians.

Cardinal Wiseman in his ''Fabiola"
makes one of his characters give the fol-
lowing strangely mixed account of the
early Christians, and it illustrates the alb
surd ideas which even intelligent Romans
of that day had in regard to them: 1.-THE
Christians" said Calpurnius, "are a for
eign sect, the founder of which fourished
many ages ago in Chaldea. His doctrines
were brought to Rome in the time OF Yes
passian by two brothers named Peter and
Paul. Some maintain that these were the
same twin brothers as the Jews call Moses
and Aaron, the second of whom sold his
birthright to his brother for a kid, the
skin OF which he wanted to make gloves
OF. But this identity / do not admit, as
it is recorded in the mystical books
of the Jews that the second of these broth
ers, seeing that the others victims gave
omens of birds than his own, slew him, as
our Romulus did Remus, with the law
bone of an ass, for which he was hanged
by King Mordochaus of Macedon upon a
gibbet fifty cubits high at the suit of their
sister, Judith. However, Peter and Paul
coming, as / said, TO Rome, the former was
discovered to be fugitive slave of Pontius
Plate and was crucifed by his masters
orders on the janiculum. Their followers,
of whom they had made many, made the
cross their symbol and adored it. and thew
think the greatest honor to suffer stripes
and even ignominious death, as the best
means of being like their teachers, and as
they fancy, of going to them in a place
somewhere among the clouds"

THE STATE SCHOOL FUNDS.
ANNUAL DIVISION AMONG COUNTIES.
A Steal Perpetrated by Some of the Counties
For Which the Law Provides No Remedy
The Share of Each County in
the Big Divide.

The state superintendent of public instruc-
ton has completed the annual apportionment
Of Indiana's school fund and the distribution
Of the money TO the counties will begin next
week. The per capita apportionment is S1.14,
and the enumeration of children is 757, OIL, &C.
cording TO reports from county superintend-
ents; but few of the latter persist in report
ing greater school population than really ex-
lists in order TO get bigger slice of the school
fund. The state has no recourse in such cases,
and the law on TIE subject needs remedying.
Many of the counties collect more school tax
than the apportionment allows them. The
reason of this is that the wealthy counties have
fewer children than the poorer ones. Marion
county being comparatively speaking, very
poor, consequently received sos, COL go of
school money, while it collected only SAC. 1887.
The total amount OF money apportioned is
1919, 060.94 and the taxes collected 1914, 46S So

Copyright, 1888. by L. r. ChadbOurn.l
Once upon a time there lived a king who was
cruel as he was powerful He had an only daughter
who the most beautiful princess that ever lived
in fact or fiction. No mortal man could gaze upon
her for a single instant without at once becoming
madly enamored of her. The consequence was that
the king daily received thousands of proposals Tor
his daughters hand not only from emperors kings,
princes and other people in whose veins courSed
blood of the purest blue but even from grave phil
osopherS, from aScetic hermits and from the most
ragged tramps OF the kingdom.
Finally losing all patience, the king had large
square dungeon built with no windows, and with but
a single entrance from the outside. This dungeon
was divided into fOrty-nne square rooms each room
to il.
Over each door was inscribed word, and at each
door stood powerful eunueh with drawn scimitar

The organ-man told me that the little
monkey was about five years old, and
knew his name. So 1 said $1,000, Joco,
come and see me-" The monkey at once
snatched off his cap, and, climbing into
my lap, rubbed his furry head against me,
gazing up QUITO a pair OF merry, intelligent
eyes, in q way that quite won my heart.
A minute after he curled down and went
to sleep, or pretended to do so. think
his nap was a real one though brief, for it
is likely he was tired with his long trot-
ting about and dancing in unnatural atti-
tudes.
When anyone gave him anything, his
first motion after Selling it in his small
black fist was to bite it. If it was eatable
land he was very fond OF nuts and can
dies, his Joy shone all over his wrinkled
face as he munched at it, watching all the
time lest somebody should take the
sweetie away, but if the gift proved to be
a hard penny, be leaped to the top on the
organ at a single bound, and gave it to his
master. This done, he would hurry down
again and stay at the farthest stretch OF
his chain. as though trying to get as far as
possible from the monotOnous music.
His master seemed very fond OF him,
and would carefully take him under his
coat if rain or a cold sea wind made Jocko
shiver; and we'll he might, for the mon
KEYS lively ways and pretty tricks
brought a crowd of children about his
miserable organ, and earned many
coin which otherwise would not have been
given.
The prettiest of all OF Jocko's tricks was
his love of brushing clothes. He seemed to
be uneasy as soon as he has made friends
with any person until he had gone carefully
over his whole suit. He had small tiat
brush like shoe-brush, which he grasped
in his right hand and used with the
greatest diligence, chatting all the time In
monkey-talk, the tone of which seemed
complimentary, though ! could never
quite make out what he meant, and so did
not risk any reply.
One dav he evidently thought a gentle
man had not brushed his hat before com
ing out, for he tugged at his chain and
scolded until his master let him scramble
up the gentleman's arm. Then he perched
comfortably on his shoulder, and brushed
away at the hat with all his might, lean
ing ever the top, and looking here and
there until not a particle OF dust remained.
The look of satisfaction with which Jocko
received a sixpence for his careful work,
and the last glance out OF the corner OF
his right black eve, to be sure he had
done his brushing thoroughly, were very
funny.

BOLD BANK BURGLARS
Compel n Canadian Officer and a Railroad
Conductor To Let Them Escape.

Conductor To Let Them Escape.
NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Conductor Daniel
Church, of train No. 50, which left Boston at
$50 o'clock on Monday night on the Boston &
Lowell and Vermont Central roads arriving in
Montreal at $50 on Tuesday morning, had an
interesting meeting with three bank burglars at
Stanbridge station, Canada, about forty miles
south of Montreal, on the Vermont Central
road. The story, as told to the reporter. rivals
the exploits of western cowboys. For some
time past gang of burglars has been operating
successfully on safes in the small towns Of
northern New York and Vermont. and recently
they have visited Champlain, \. Y, and La
cole, Canada. Early on Tuesday morning they
broke into two safes in East Stanbridge, a lit
tie town in Quebec. There were three men in
the party, and they stole horse and wagon
and started for Stanbridge station, where they
boarded Conductor Church's train.
AS the train was drawing out Of the station
two officers of East Stanbridge drove up Just in
time TO see the burglars smiling at them from
the window Of the rear car. The officers tele-
graphed TO Pete Smith, a Canadian revenue
officer at St. Alexander, to arrest the burglars
and he found them. With a good deal of
flourish, he displayed his badge and said: Il
arrest you in the name of the queen"
The train had started, aud, as the burglars
made no resistance, Officer Smith asked an as
sistant to watch them while he went into the
baggage-car to see if any of the stolen property
was on board. In few minutes he returned.
His assistant had disappeared. On the plat
form Of the car stood the three burglars,
armed with revolvers. AS soon as the officer
appeared they fired two shots at him through
the glass door. One of the bullets went
through his hat, and he concluded that the
queen would be better served by a live officer
than dead one and he dropped to the floor
Conductor Daniel Church heard the shooting
and came out TO investigate the cause Tor it.
On your eyes, drop under that seat"
shouted one of the burglars. The conductor
obeyed. When the train reached a little
station near st. Johns, the burglars disap-
peared in the woods.
officers from Montreal traced the burglars as
far as La Code, Canada, on Tuesday afternoon,
but did not capture them.
A dispatch from Montreal SAYS that when the
burglars left the train, the station agent and his
assistants noticed the escape and tried to stop
them, when two of them pulled revolvers and
began firing at the crowd which was gathering
Capt. Smith made a bold stand and tried 10
take hold of one of the men. Two bullets were
fired at him, one wounding him in the face and
the other in the scalp. The desperadoes then
escaped.

A Hydrophobia Scare.

FRANKLIN, Jan. Especial. THE people
living near the Shelby and johnson county
line about four miles east of this city have
been greatly frightened the past few days over
the appearance of hydrOphobia which has
broken out among their stock. About a week
ago a dog having every symptom of the dread
ed disease ran through the neighborhood bit
ing every Irving thing that came in its way. Il
was pursued and finally killed. Charles Allen
was bitten by the dog while trying to capture
it. He has had a mad stone applied to the
wound and is not apprehensive of any danger.
Yesterday a horse belonging to Edward Tucker
gave evidence OF having hydrophobia and be-
fore it could be tied up had bitten several hogs
and sheep. Mr.. Allen had several head OF
stock also bitten, and yesterday a fine CALI
showed symptoms of the disease. Other
farmers are anxiously awaiting results.

boy of tender years: Shortly after
his mothers death with his father he
visited her grave, being carried there by
a horse which had recently been bought
by the father. The husband, standing
apart, was naturally in a contemplative

murdered at a Social Gathering.

PARIS, H., Jan. 2.-Lester Woods, twenty
two years old, was murdered two miles east of
this city last night. The Sunday-school of the
district had social gathering at the school
house, and during the exercises a scuf1e took
place and Woods was stabbed in the neck, the
main artery being severed. Woods fell into
his mothers arms and expired. A panic fol-
lowed, the children jumping out of the win
dows and crowding through the door. The
murderer escaped during the excitement and
was not recognized. A warrant was issued this
morning for a young man named Amburger.
