FOR UNIVERSITY EXTENSION.
First OF the Series of Lectures De-
ivered by Charles Zcubltn.

The first of a. series of lectures on the
topic, "a Century of Social Reform which
are to be given under the auspices of the
Indianapolis Center for the Extension or
University Teaching, was delivered last night
at High School No. /, by Charles Zeublin,
Phi. b., instructor in sociology in the Uni
versity of Chicago. The subject of this first
lecture was 1.-The Inheritance OF Modern
England" and Mr.. Zeublin explained his
reason for taking that for the first topic.
Before there can be an intelligent study
of the existing social problems. he said,
there must be a knowledge of the condi-
tions which led up to these problems, and
the best results will be obtained by study
ing the early condition of England. He
termed the fifteenth and sixteenth centu-
ries as periods of revelation, the seven
teenth of stagnation, the eighteenth OF
transition, and the nineteenth a peiloa 81
reconstruction. Under each of these peri,
DDS Mr.. Zeublin named Ave principal social
factors. In the first period there were the
renaissance, the discovery OF america,
ton of feudalism, the invention OF PRINT,
ing, and the reformation, which revealed
the right of private judgment. In the
were the political reforms, the industrial
revolution and the liberty of the press:
the ninetsen nt 0n Century t { yns and man Nh. 2eublin
declared that England to-day as a more
democratic country than the United States,
is held in higher esteem. He thinks that
woman suffrage will be adopted in England
before it is here. Other factors. of the
century are free. trade-not as advocated
by the Democratic party, but in it's broad
sense-organized labor and popular eouca-
ton.
be present next Thursday night the regular
lecture will be delivered on Friday evening.

sTREET-CAR TRAFFIC BLOCKED.
Greatest Fall of Snow KaOwn for Sew
eral Years-Sleigh Bells Jingle.

The heavy snowstorm which struck the
city so suddenly yesterday was entirely I'M
expected and caused no small amount of
trouble and inconvenience. The fall of
snow during the afternoon was extraor-
dinarily heavy. and when the merchants
and shoppers sought the street cars to
carry themtfo their homes, they sought in
vain, for street-car traffic was tied up for
a considerable time during the evening.
For a while it was only possible for the
cars to run Immediately behind a sweeper,
and, consequently, unless one caught a
sweeper train he was compelled to wait
almost a half hour for another. The cleo
trio sweepers were kept busy all night
cleaning the tracks. There were huge wallis
of snow thrown up on each side of the car
tracks by the sweepers and, consequently,
the work of pedestrians was made much
more difficult.
The sleighing during the afternoon and
evening was excellent, and many cutters
and double sleighs filed with merry crowds
took advantage of the rare occasion, in
spite of the thickly falling snow. Mr.. Wap-
penhans, of the weather bureau stated,
last night, that the fall of snow would, in
all probability, cease early this morning,
and the temperature would remain about
the same, or probably get slightly cooler.
At midnight the snow was nearly ten
inches in depth and still falling. This is
the deepest snow that has fallen in this
city, during one storm, for many years
past.

BANKS IN POLITICS.

Never since the days of "old hick-
ory," is the way the Fort Smith
Times puts it, have the banks an
nounced openly that they intended
taking a part III politics. In the
days of Jackson there was some eX-
cuse for them taking part in poll
tics because their very existence as
banks Of issue was threatened, but
now no one is making war on them.
The people are only claiming the
right to regulate the volume OF
money and say what shall ccnsti-
tute money, a right which the CON
stitution reserved for them by its
makers when formulating that
document. The banks want to rele'
gate to themselves those rights
which our forefathers said was only
safe when in the hands Of the great
common people who constitute the
bone and sinew Of this grand coun-
try, The banks give it out cold that
they have held one meeting and In
tend holding another to force the
people to submit to the yoke Of
tyranny which has been placed
around their necks by the Republi-
cans, and which Grover Cleveland,
who was once thought to be demo-
crat, is endeavoring to maintain at
the dictation Of the great banking
corporations
Cleveland's recent letter to his
Republican goldbug friend In Chica-
20 acted as an inspiration to the
money loaners and gold hoarders,
they are taking renewed courage
since Cleveland sounded the call to
arms. OF course this gold ollgarchy
will be expected to control the Dem
ocratic primaries to save Cleveland,
and every little peanut headed,
small bore goldbug in the country
will be expected to declare himself
to be Il Democrat, in order to save
that modern Judas lscariot from be.
ing swamped In the silver flood
which Is sure to sweep the country

THE HOURS SENSATION.
BesSure That Your Sins Will Find
You out; and Your Punishment
Shall be Swift,

All of Louisville, Kentucky, is
agog over one of the most harrow
ing sensations, that has yet visited
that city and therehave'been many
of them in its history
Archie Brown, son and private
secretary of Governor Brown, and
Mrs. Fulton Gordon, a prominent
beauty, are both dead at the hands
of Fulton Gordon. 1t seems that
young Brown and Mrs, Gordon went
by appointment, at house of evil
resort and that the wronged hus'
band was keeping an espionage Con
them and followed them to their
cozy den, What followed can be
imagined, as Brown was short in
several places, and killed, and the
wife received three wounds and fell
on the back porch of the building
they were in, corpse.
The wronged husband when ar
rested and placed in Jail, was found
to be unhurt, although Brown had
emptied his pistol shooting at him,
but was suffering with nervous
prostration,
The coroner's jury held an inquest
over the bodies and rendered YER
dict of justifable homicide.
Gov. Brown has taken charge OF
the body of his son and will bury it
at Henderson, Kentucky.
Mrs, Gordon was Miss Nellie
Bush, of that city, and her family
is one of the best known and most
prominent in that state. Her
mother was once State Librarian
at Frankfort and her grandfather
was Judge zachariah Watt, Chief
Justice of the Court of Appeals Of
Kentucky, and one of the most
learned and distinguished of Ken
lucky jurists Gordon was at one
time assistant manager of the

CLERKS UNION,
The Clerks and Merchants of Our City
Form a Local Union.

The clerks of our city have been
working here, for the past several
days with a petition asking the
merchants to close at Z o'clock,
during the summer weather. They
met with opposition at first from
quite a number, but persistent Wis
its and arguments, got them,
with one or two exceptions to agree
to close at the stated time. The
idea struck them yesterday evening
late that if they were organized,
this work could be accomplished
more Systematically and on business
principles, and with this thought in
view they had circulars printed and
scattered in every store asking the
clerks to meet at the East side city
hall for the purpose of discussing
the advisability of organization,
The meeting was called to order at
$3.50 by Mr., J. w. Stewart, and he
explained the object Of the meeting
and on motion it was resolved to 90
into temporary organization. The
election of a President was ordered,
and Jeff Sanderson, book-keeper for
