INDIANAPOLIS IN ARMS
Over Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher's
Recent MagizIne Article,

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 2S.-In a re-
cent magazine article Mrs. Henry Ward
Beecher recalls some experiences which
she and her husband had in Indianapolis in
the forties, when the latter was pastor of
the Second Presbyterian Church. These
"reminiscences ara declared to be erron-
eous by many members of the present
congregation, some of whom were mem
bers of Mr.. Beecher's congregation.
Mrs Beecher stated that her husband
received but 5000 a year salary, 500 Of
which was reserved to pay for their home.
The fact is that Mr.. Beecher received
81, 200 q year, 500 Of which was reserved
to pay for two houses which he bought.
Mrs. Beecher also said that Mr.. Beecher
was assured that the city was healthy, but
that il was not. The trustees assert that
their predecessors could not have given
such assurance without telling false
hood
These facts were communicated to Mrs.
Beecher and she was earnestly requested
to make a public correction. Not only has
the latter been unanswered, but in a sub
sequent article she reiterated the state
ments. The affair has createe no small
amount of indignation in the Second
PRESBYTERIAN Church.

Plain death exctes but little attention.
II must be presented in some novel form
TO claim particular notice in a community
where there is an average of "a death every

Even deaths of violent nature must pre-
sent new phases or involve people OF inn

Suicides have become so common and
uninteresting that it is not unusual to see
four or five attempts in that line occupy
not more than as many lines, each grouped
under general head. So small and utter

out on a long hill near his house He got
out to the scene just in time to see his son
Jed mount the OK cart, hold up the
tongue" and coast down the hill with a
thunderous roar and in cloud of dust.
The old man started on the trail down the
hill, picking up club on the way and yell
ing for Jed to come back and take lick
ing But the nearer he got to the trem-
bling Jed the more the real novelty and
humor appealed to him. When he got to
the foot of the hill he was grinning like a
"chessy cat" rs Jed afterward declared.

"By gorry, dad, I'm a-slidng down hill

The old man couldn't resist; chuckling
he helped push the cart up hill; chuckling
still, he crawled in and he Uttered as he
told Jed to "hold tight and steer straight" +"
Away they went. But they had just got
under headway when IA team came jogging
around bend in the road mt the foot of
tho hill. The old OK cart roarcd down in
its headlong rush. A wicked smashup
seemed imminent. The frightened Jed,
bewildered by volley of squawks and
yells, yanked the tongue about, and the
flying cart sheered for the fields. 1t
careened wildly, hoped the highway

TO wrecked standstill, bottom upward.
Jed and the old man were beneath.
IL was six weeks before johnson got the
crick out Of his back and recovered the use
