WITHOUT COST TO CITY.
A New York Company VIII Ask the
Privilege of Handling Garbage.

DR.. Hays, president of the Board of
Health has been in communication with
the health departments of other cities and
the companies having the disposition of gar
bage and night soil in other places AS a
result he has some interesting information
upon the question, as well as PROPOSE
ton from an Eastern firm which, if ac-
copied, will be highly advantageous to the
city. This company has the contract for
disposing of garbage and night soil in one
of the New York city districts and in other
places. The proposition which they offer
to make to the city is backed by a suffi-
cient guarantee that the work will be prop
erly done. The company is a prominent
one and has the reputation of being relia-
BILE. In the letter to DR.. Hays the man
ayers of the company say they will make
a formal proposition to the city of Indian
apolis to dispose of all night soil and gar
bage without one cent of cost to the city.
They will erect a building. where the ma
teria1 brought to them can be treated chem
ically. The company is engaged in the man
ufacture of fertilizers, and for the fertilizer
which it can obtain it offers to destroy all
garbage and night soil of this city. DR..
Hays will call the attention of the other
members of the Board of Health to the
letter which he has received, and also bring
the matter before the Mayors cabinet.

STAGE-sTRUCK GIRLS FOUND.
They Had Left Their Homes and
DOnned Male Attire.

Yesterday afternoon detective Stout found
two girls dressed in male attire in vacant
house near the corner of Blake and Michi-
gan streets, who subsequently proved to be
Alma. Desanno. daughter of Walter Desanno,
of No. 81 State avenue, and Jennie Barlow,
daughter of policeman George I. Barlow,
living at No. % South Arsenal avenue. The
girls are but seventeen and sixteen years
of age, and disappeared from their homes
last Tuesday night, not having been heard
of since. 1t transpires that the girls are
badly stage struck and they determined
to becomes actresses, and with this in view
left their homes. According to the story
which they told to Police Matron Buchanan
last night they tramped out of town, going
as far as West Newton. They then started
this way again. making another stop at
haywood, where, they claim, they spent a
night in an empty house. There they say

When detective Stout found the girls yes

their suits being torn and covered with
mud. They had their hair done up high on
the head and wore old soft hats pulled
down over their ears. The officer started
to walk the girls to the police station, but
their odd appearance soon set the story
adrift that they We're girls, and soon an
immense crowd was following them, and
the wagon had to be called. There was an
affecting scene at the station when the
parents met their hayward daughters. The
girls did not seem to realize what they had
done, and declared that they were not
sorry. They were kept at the police sta
ton, although not slated as prisoners. as
it is thought the parents will have them
placed in some institution.

AGAINST SUNDAY BASEBALL.
Rev. Mr.. Roberts, of Fletcher-Place,
Speaks Against the Evil.

REV. eMr. hODerlS, Oh rletcneE-TlaCc,
Speaks Against the Evil.
Yesterday morning Rev. r. Roberts, of
Fletcher-place NJ. E. Church, took for his
subject Sunday baseball. His text was from
the twenty-sixth verse of the ninth chapter
of Nehemiah: Nevertheless, they were dis
obedient and rebellious against Thee, and
cast Thy law behind their backs" His SER
mon dealt with the moral and legal sides
of the question From both views. he said,
the playing of baseball on Sunday would be
wrong He compared the people who were
clamoring for Sunday games with those who
were opposed to Them much to the disad-
vantage of the former. In the class OPP
posed to the game as proposed for Sunday
he named the police first and then the mem
bers of the Board of Safety. Then he
named in order the ministers of all the
churches and their members, the Sunday
school workers. parents, and in fact, the
best citizens, regardless of whether or not
they are connected with any church.
On the other side he named the few $50
called" good citizens, who favored it as the
lesser of several evils, pleasure seekers who
care nothing for the morals of the city,
those who expect to make money from the
game, and the roughS and toughs of the
city. This comparison was not very favor
able to the game.
kinds of business, manufacturing of furni-
ture or selling of dry goods than to permit
baseball to be played on Sunday. His prin-
ciple argument was based on the fact that
it would be violation of the law to allow
it, and because it would compel many per-
sons to work on Sunday who otherwise
would spend the day quietly at home or at
church The law he said, is sufficient to
stop the game, and If it does not do SO those
be the ones held accountable. He called
upon all the members of the church to use
their influence in working upon sentiment
which would make the game impossible on
SUNDAY.

HIS LOVE FOR MR.. DENNY.
Cal Dnrnen Explains How He Over
came the Grim Reaper.

Cal Darnell, who has been very sick
for many weeks past, walked into the Board
of Health office Saturday, looking natural
but somewhat pale. For time while ill it
was thought that Mr.. Darnell could not
recover, and the several men who saw
him enter the office greeted him cordially
and congratulated him on his recovery:

No Trouble.

Rear Admiral Brown, U. S. N, arrived
in the city yesterday morning to visit his
brother, Austin II. Brown, who has been
seriously ill for several weeks. Admiral
Brown came direct from Norfolk, and it is
his intention to remain in the city week
or ten days, until his brother is better.
He was pleased to find his brother i'm

thought that in view of the fact the United
States has several squabbles on her hands
with other countries some information re-

finest war ships anoat and there are num-

work upon these could be FASTENED and
they could be put in service in very short

question, for there are several of them and
it would be impossible for me to name or
count them all now
Where are the majority of the vessels
now stationed?''
THE big squadron is down in the West
Indies. The other vessels are in different
parts of the world. many of them being
near the east coast of this country. Affairs
in the naval department are running along
in much the usual manner and no special
preparations for trouble are being made"
The fact that Admiral Brown was granted
a leave of absence seems 20 indicate that
the government is not anticipating trouble.
While in this city the Admiral will spend
nearly all of his time with his brother.

A NEW QUAKER CHURCH.
The Work VIII Begin on n $4,000
Structure This Morning.

For more than quarter of a century
the Friends of this city have worshiped
in small plain-looking building at the
southeast corner of Delaware and St. Clair
streets. The edifice has grown to be a
landmark, and the Quaker Church is one
of the most interesting buildings on North
Delaware street. During the last few
years the demands have outgrown the old
building, and the congregation decided
upon a new building. The question of a
site arose, the old members believing the
new building should be erected where they
had worshiped for so long, while the
younger ones thought the present ground
should be sold and a frst-class building
erected on cheaper ground 4Irther out 1t
was finally decided to change the location,
and the southeast corner of Alabama
street and Home avenue was selected.

MYSTERIES In BOOK OF JOB.
Professor MouIton's Lecture Course
ON Literary study of the Bible.

K The first OF a series of lectures on the
literary study of the Bible, by Professor
Richard Green Moulton, was begun yester-
day afternoon in ST. Paurs Episcopal
Church before large and attentive class.
The lecturer spoke without notes and at
fracted confidence and attention by his clear
views and wonderful memory, quoting hum
dreds of lines out of the book of Job with
the fiuency of MASTER as he is in orig
inal discourse. His reading served to open
fioodgates of light into the story of Job
and the psychical, ethical study of this Won
derful character. The form of the Book of
Job. the lecturer said, is a dramatic para
BILE set in a fran of epic narrative. Its
subject is the mystery of human suffering.
The epic narrative exhibits Job in his pros
perity as perfect, but council is held in
heaven at which the spirit OF evil proposes
to test his perfection. The first test is the
moved; the second is personal affliction, but
he still Is unmoved; the third test arises
by the long continuance i Of the suffering;
SIT by him on the ash heap, while crowd
of spectators stand around below. Jobs pa
contributes the first solution of the mystery:
Suffering presented as Gods test of good
ness. the test being the severer as the
friends Offer as the second solution the idea
that all suffering is a Judgment upon sin.

solution to the mystery Suffering is one

stores man. While E1ihu is still speaking
there comes up storm. in which the voice

out the fourth solution of the mystery: The

and the good in Ii Is just as mysterious
as the evil God rebuked the three friends
as Job had, thus bringing out the fifth So
luton OF the mystery: That the strong
faith OF Job. which could even reproach
God as friend, was more acceptable to
Him than the serviie alteration which
sought 10 twist the truth in order TO mag

friends, his prosperity begins 10 return. and
he becomes greater son of the East than

THE CHILDREN WE'RE EXCITED.
A Fire Near German Lutheran Church
During Sunday school.

A small fire in the rear OF a grocery store
at the corner of East and McCarty streets,
yesterday afternoon. at $3.50 o'clock. was the
cause of considerable excitement in the
German Lutheran Church, which is only
about ten feet from the small shed which
was burning. The fire was discovered a
few moments before the regular time for
dismissing Sunday school, and in mo-
ment everyone in the church became very
much excited. The flames could be seen
from the window, and it was not known to
all the people in the church that the fire
In no wise endangered the church. The
children, true to their nature, ran to the
windows, and then began running out of
the building to get a better view of the

that it would be useless to continue the
closing exercises, and dismissed the school

CHURCHES AND POLITICS.
Rev. MIR. Macintosh Declines to Dis
81

Rev. Mr.. Maclxintosh Declines to Dis
cuss the Sunday Saloon Question.
The Good Citizens League asked the min
listers of the city to speak upon the saloon
question and the Sunday CLOSING question
yesterday, and many of them did. Rev
G. L. Macintosh. of the Fourth Presby-
terrain Church, did not, however, and be-
fore his morning sermon he explained
briefly his reasons for not doing So He
said he believed that the churches should
take no part in politics. He believed it
would be better for the churches to keep
clear Of all political questions, as history
shows when the church has become in
volved in political questions, it is to its
detriment. He said that there are several
different conditions of people lin this CITY,
representing different opinions. Some be-
lieved Saturday was Sabbath and some be-
lieve that Sunday a day of rest does
not make 1t necessary for everybody to at
tend church. Many of this country's pop
ulation come here from other countries,
and they have been taught to believe that
this is land of freedom. The way to
bring about the observance of the Chris
tian's Sabbath is to educate these people
to the Christians idea. The church should
use its influence to bring about a more
healthy condition and to get people to OBJ
serve Sunday, but Mr.. Macintosh did not
think it was the church's place to make
persons holding opposite views conform
with those of the churches. MIR. Mackin-
tosh spoke upon the subject for about five
minutes, after which he made no further
reference to the subject.

Church. The services were opened with

Hackleman. The evangelist took for his
subject 1.-The Old and the New Religion"
He compared the religion of the years
gone by and that of the present day, laying
especial stress upon the fact that years ago
religion was considered a luxury for the
rich man and was inaccessible to the man
who was born without title or fortune. IF
Christ were to come to the world now" he
said, 1.-The people of the United States would
crown Him king, but would not accept His
counsel. If He were to run for Mayor of
