THE CLERICAL DEADLINE.
An Injustice to Old Men That Keeps
Young Men Out of the Ministry.

New YORK Evening rust.
The "dead-line'' in the clerical profess
sion seems constantly to grow more fixed
and more difficult to surmount. This line
is drawn about the age of fifty, and the
is a common thing to say of minister
that che has crossed the dead-line" or, he
is nearing the dead-line." The Rev. Dr.
Theodore L. Cuyler writes of 1t with feel
ing in the Evangelist, finding his text In
the recentAeath OF IAN excellent and emf
nent minister of the gospel" who had
served the interests of his own denomina-
ton with peculiar zeal and hdehty; mad
successfully occupied the pastorate Of one
of their most prominent churches in a large
city; had written editorials for one of their
leading journals, and been conspicuous In
their ecclesiastical affairs" and who, never
theless, during the closing years OF his life,
for it's settled pastor, although he earnestly
sought one. Why was such q clergyman
thus prematurely shelVed? Simply and
solely" DR.. Cuyler declares, because he
was between fifty and sixty years old.
Nor was this an exceptional case. DR.. Guy
Ter says that many others as good and
as gifted as he are ShelVed from the pastor
ate on account of an arbitrary and abomi-
nable law of limitations that is applied to
no other calling, secular or sacred, but the
Christian ministry"
This clerical ''dead-line" is really one OF
the most remarkable things in our modern
in public life, age only helps a man, ana,
indeed at fifty man in any other occupa-
ton is not thought of as an old man. 1t
Is only in the ministry that the fedgling
secures the most desirable position when he
enters his profession, and flnds himself
thrust aside as superannuated at a period
of life when other men are called still
young" or "in the prime or life Dr. Guy
Ter can see only one way of bringing about
a change in this respect; He. says thar
churches ought to understand that 1T is no
easy thing to induce the ablest young men
to enter the gospel ministry; and If there
is to be an arbitrary statute of limitations
under which a minister as soon as he has
had twenty or thirty years OF experiences
is to be ineligible to a call to vacant pull
nit then no man of sense or self-respect
would enter the ministry at all" But the
trouble about the remedy is that youth Will
seldom take the long view of things. DR..
Cuyler points out that some of the very
churches which spurn the advantages of
long experience, matured judgment and ripe
experience are quite ready to take up some
raw youth, who has just received his IL
cense." SO long as the raw youth sees
that he can jump into a good salary at
Twenty-Five it will be hard to convince him
that people will not always want to hear a
man of his ability. The 'dead-line" has
been visible long enough already to affect
the magination of young men who are con-
sidering the ministry, and yet there are
more clergymen than churches.

CURES Statement.

Fire Chief Barrett reported to the Board
of Public Safety yesterday that he had
failed to find any facts that would justify
him filing charges against Fireman George
Clark, reported to have worked at the
Democratic primaries last Saturday for the
denomination of his brother, Councilman
Frank S. Clark The city charter prohibits
tiremen and policemen from taking an ac-
tive part in politics in strong language.
The penalty is $500 fine. Friends of the de-
teated candidate openly charged that Clark
worked at the polls. Chief Barrett in
formed the board that he could not find any
one who would say positively that Clark
had been active at the voting place. The
board authorized the statement that If any
citizen has knowledge that Clark violated
the charter and rules of the department
and is sufficiently interested to make for
NAL charges, that they will be investigated.
When the report was first called to his at
tention, President Mcguire said that if it
was true, Clark's CAPTAIN cIght to have
preferred charges against MIN Immediately.
The captain of Vhe company was not re-
quired to appear before the board and give
information as to whether Clark was ab

Mr.. SomerVille believed the curfew would
be great benefit to Indianapolis and he
could not understand why a City Council
should oppose it.
AT the close of the meeting a letter was
read from Mrs Jessie Benton Fremont of
Los Angeles, Cal. widow of the late John

Colonel Hogeland and spoke in high terms
of the curfew law, which the writer said
must prevail. Mrs. Fremont said in part

ResoIutiOns Adopted.
in BEHALF OF A CURFEW.
A Meeting at the Y. Nj. G. A. Last Night
Addresses by Citizens.

About twenty Ave men and women who
favor a curfew ordinance for Indianapolis
held a meeting at the Y. M. c. A. building
last night and arranged for the formation
of permanent organization, whose purpose
will be to secure, if possible, city and state
legislation on the curfew question. Pleas
ant Bond presided as chairman of the meet
ing and w. c. Van Arsdell officiated as Sec
rotary.
Col A. Hogeland addressed the meeting
on the merits of the curfew law. He is the
national representative of the American
curfew ordinance movement and for some
time past has been engaged in forming
State divisions of the national association.
Colonel Hogelapd explained how the law
became operative in the cities of Kansas
City Kan; Kansas City, Mo-, and in Lin
coin and Omaha, Neb. He said police Off
Gals have declared that the curfew ordi-
nance will prevent thousands of boys from
becoming tramps and save multitudes of
young girls from lives of shame Colonel
Hogeland believes the ordinance, when en-
forced in any city, will improve parents
and children both morally and socially. 1t
increases the attendance in churches and
Sunday-schools and IS a complete remedy
against truancy in the public schools. May
or Graham, of Lincoln, Neb wrote Mayor
Swift, of Chicago, asserting that the resultg
of the enforcement of the Curfew ordinance
in that city were a surprise to both police
and city officials. There was a decrease of
10 per cent. in the arrests of youth for the
first months enforcement of the ordinance
Prof Mallalieu, superintendent of the Ne
braska Reform School, wrote: THE en-
fOrcement OF the cuTfew Will be the means
OF keeping many boys and girls out of the
reform schools. In cities in this State
where il has been enforced there has been
a decrease in commitments to the reform
school" Colonel Hogelanu said the sher-
III 5 national convention, assembled at Den
Yer in 1896, passed resolution tndorsing
the curfew ordinance and commencing it
to the officials of every city throughout the
country.
In addition to Colonel Hogelands re-
in favor of a curfew ordinance. w. a. Bell
editor of the Indiana School Journal, said
he thought the curfew was one of the things
that would help TO reduce crime. The cur
few begins at the right place and does not
wait until the crime is committed. He
doubted ii ii would be advisable to try to
get such an ordinance through the Council
until after the city campaign. NJ. " Me

few. Ii seemed TO him if Omaha and Kan
