ANOTHER NEWCHURCH
THE METHODIsTs DEDICATE THE
NIPPERT MEMORIAL.
Prof. G.. S. GOodspeed, Of University
of Chicago, breaches mt First
Baptist-A Quaker jew.

The Nippert Memorial M. z. Church, at
Keystone and Clifford avenues, was dedi-
Gated yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
with appropriate ceremonies. 1t was
erected in memory of DR.. Louis Nippert,
the first missionary of the German Metho-
dist Episcopal denomination in this city.
About the first of the year John b. Stumph,
an active church worker. started a move
ment to build a memorial church to DR..
Nippert, who was then living, by sub
scribing 5000. with the understanding that
the building and grounds should not cost
less than $1,000, and that the remaining A,-
600 should be raised within a certain time.
A church, he thought, was needed in the
northeastern portion of the city, as there
are a great many members Of that de-
nomination there, and at that time no
church. A lot at the northwest corner of
Keystone and Clifford avenues was pur-
chased for $1,000 and plans for the building
drawn up, which were accepted and the
work begun in June. A short time after
wards the cornerstone was laid with i'm
posing services. Several of the leading
clergymen of the city took part, and among
them DR.. Nippert, who, though quite aged,
still retained his alertness and energy char
and while the work of building the church
was on, DR.. Nippert was siezed with a
sudden illness and died. 1t was a sad blow
10 his many friends in the city. for they,
as well as he, looked forward to the time
when he would take charge of his own
church with much enthusiasm. A part of
the money was used in putting a memorial
window in the northwest corner Of the
church.
The finishing touches were made Saturday
and the church was ready for occupation.
1t is a neat frame building, with a tower
eighty-five feet high. The auditorium is
thirty feet wide and fifty long. There are
two smaller class rooms. The inside wood
work is of oak and the auditorium is car
peted. The seating capacity Of the three
rooms is placed at 200.
The Rev. III. Bornemann has been ap-
pointed pastor, and the indications are that
there soon will be a large congregation. 1t
was expected that Rev. DR.. Liebhardt
would deliver the dedicatory sermon, but
owing to his illness he was unable to at
tend, and Presiding Elder J. S. Schneider
OBLIGATED. He spoke in general on mission
work in the church and cited the life OK
DR.. Nippert as an example of an earnest,
Woodworking and jealous missionary,
whose efforts reaped. good results without
having to go to a foreign country. Rev.
j. c.. Marting, of the First German NJ. z.
made a brief talk. After the services a
subscription list was started and $1,040
raised in a short time.
AT the services last night the Revs. J.
II. Barth and Cooper preached. A collec-
ton of $3.50 was taken up. AS the edifice
cost $3.50 a debt of 81, 760 remains, but ii
is thought that IL will soon be lifted, as
the members of the denomination through
out the city intend to take a hand in it.

PERTINENT LOCAL TOPICS.

business in Indianapolis. Retail merchants

financial standpoint, was a success. Henry

to offer any sort of amusement aside from
the fair to excursionists, and the plan has
proven a success. The business of the past
week was good-the best we nave enjoyed
for a long while. Our business on Friday
was simply immense. We sold loads Of
goods TO people outside OF the city, and had
little trouble in satisfying the out-of-town

that Insignificant stranger commanded
scarcely a passing notice. He was lost in

THE TICKET INDORSED.
Personnel of Saturdays Work Re-
ceives Favorable Comment.

There was general commentator yester-
day of the Republican ticket nominated
Saturday at the county convention. The
judicial ticket was credited with being one
Of exceptional professional ability and COM
mands respect, even of political opponents.
Members Of the bar hailed 1t as a ground
for a large sized hope and expectation
that the mediocrity of the present bench
will soon come to an end. The candidates
for the Legislature gave equal satisfaction,
and there were predictions that they would
poll many Democratic votes. The fact that
the convention nominated them without
dictation and honestly in them coined the
best expression of it's will served to place
the candidates upon a favorable footing.
There was absolutely no one influence at
work in the convention, or with power If
there had been, to defeat the result as an
nounced. The legislative candidates are
young. vigorous men, independent thinkers,
and were nominated because they stand
for the general principles of the party and
not for isms or classes. They are Amer
lean citizens whose loyalty to the purest
type of American life cannot be questioned.
The Good Citizenship League members
were well pleased with the result, and they
thought they saw some good fruit from
their. recent convention. However, said
c. e. Newlin yesterday, "the Good Citizen
ship League was not organized to indorse
anybody, but only to blacklist the known
enemies OF law and order and Of the Amer
lean Institutions in which all patriotic cit
liens rest their hopes OF good government
So far as / know of the nominees there is
nothing against them that will cause the
league to oppose any of them"
The members OF the Quaker church were
feeling yesterday that it had received all
the recognition that 1t could ask in 20
portion TO its numbers. JustuS G. Adams
and Lawson NJ. Harvey are members in
good standing in the only congregation
of the denomination in the city, and Vim
son Carter comes of Quaker stock.
The former two were present at the
services in the morning yesterday and re-
ceived showers of congratulation.

DEMOCRATIC VETERANS ANGRY.
Secret Meeting to Reorganixe Them n
Signal Failure.

The Democratic effort to reorganize the
old soldiers, as has been done in every
campaign for several years. has proved an
absolute failure this year. A secret meet
ing was held Friday night in one Of the
court rooms with about forty present. who
had been members Of the organization two
years ago. George W.. Koontz presided.
The veterans talked with refreshing plain
ness and energy and Denounced the pres
ent administration as very unfriendiy. One
OF them was heard TO say: Thirty years
ago, when we came home from the war
and the Democratic party was fat on its
back, the leaders came TO us and said that
if we would go with them they would never
go back on US. and would see that our sac
riices for the country were as well or
batter preserved than by the Republicans.
We stuck TO them for thirty years. but as
they never had full power they never had
q chance TO show their hand. Times
changed, however, and the Democratic
party is now in control OF all branches of

away the healthy cravings for food and
