THE UNIVERSALISTS ADJOURN
Closing Sessions of the Denomination
al Convention.

The closing sessions of the Universalists'
convention were held yesterday. In the
morning there was a memorial service for
Albert II. Mitchell, at which several men,
bers gave tributes of respect. The new
church constitution, which provides greater
uniformity among the churches of this de-
nomination, was read and commented on by
Rev. j. B. Forsher, of Pendleton. Special
stress was laid on the sections relative to
the care Of the sick and poor and to the
organization and maintenance of Sunday
schools. Mr.. Forsher was particular IN his
remarks regarding the laxity of clerks of
the different churches in making their re-
turns and reports, and urged that greater
care in this line of the work should be exer-
cised. An order of business was recon-
mended for use at all business meetings of
the denomination throughout the state.
Pamphlets with the constitution and order
of business were distributed to the MEM
bers.
The discussion on THE Needs of the Uni
versalist Church in Indiana" was general.
On account of the absence of several an
nOunced speakers expressions from the
audience were called for. Mrs. Belle
Jones, of Brazil, licentiate preacher, was
present and gave an interesting talk, which
was practical, and beautiful as Well Mrs.
Jones does general work among people
of her own race There is no church of this
denomination of colored people.
During the discussion relative to the Y. P.
c. u. work the Chicago 9S song was sung.
1t is the first song that has been written
for next years meeting, and the author of
the lines is Rev. Harry Weary, of Tennes-
see. 1t written on the train as the
members came from the Detroit convention.
The tune is America" and the words of
the first verse are:
Chicago, it's of thee
Queen of the inland sea,
OF thee we sing.
Oh, city fair and great
Well come in SO;
Till then we'll work and wait
Our offerings bring.
A vote of thanks was given to the Indian
apolis friends, to the press, to the retiring
financial agent, ]. II. Hewitt, of New Cas-
tie, for his care and work, and resolutions
of coincidence were passed for the family
of Mr.. Arthur H. Mitchell and to Rev. IL
n. Brown, of Dublin, who is ILL.,
In honor of this meeting being the fifteth
anniversary in Indiana, $50 was voted to the
General Convention. One of the most i'm
portant results of the meeting is to have
the literature committee ready to provide
free literature of the church to any one
who applies to the secretary, Miss Flora b.
Brown of Dublin Ind. The meeting has
been one of great harmony The meeting
next year will be held at Brookston, in the
northern part of the State.

If we annex Hawaii we must add largely
to our Pacific fleet. We cannot otherwise
defend this outpost, two thousand miles
from our present boundaries.
Regardless, however of any question of
territorial extension, it seems to me that
we should add to the number of our battle
ships and build many more torpedo boats.
Certainly IL would not be too much to
add. say, six more battle ships to our At
.antic fleet and half as many to the Pacific.
And seventy-fiVe torpedo boats would not
be an undue addition to this class of our
vessels. These, it is believed, should be built
during "A programme of some five years
two battle ships and about fifteen torpedo
boats to be laid down each year.

A Wrong Impression.

A railroad official, in conversation regard
ing the attitude of the Monon on the new
mileage, says wrong impression is given
by dispatches sent out from Chicago. The
reports continue to represent that the trOu-
bic is caused by the lines not be-
ing able to make the time be-
tween Cincinnati and Chicago. This
is untrue The c., H. e. d. and Monon
Chicago line, physically and from the point
of equipment, is, if anything, a little bet
ter than any other line that runs between
these points, and there is no difficulty in
making as good time any line between
have seemed skillfully worded to give the
impression that the Cincinnati and Chicago
line over the c., II. q D. and Monon is not
able to make S good time as it's cOmpet1-
tors, and in that represents them unfairly.
The officials of these lines do not ask any
concessions or odds from anybody on GIN
cinnati and Chicago service The complaint

not exactly as 1t is represented in the dis
patches. The MonOn make the time
between Louisville and Chicago, but in Or
der to do so would have to cut out large
number of local stops and either deprive
local patrons of the accommodat lions they
are entitled to or put on additional train
service to make these local stops. AS the
business between Louisville and Chicago
via all three of the lines is not enough to
really justify one line putting on special
service for that business, Mr.. McDoeIS con-
tention that he should not be compelled to
increase his operating expenses by addl-
world of ever getting the money back. is

POOR RELIEF LAW.
Attorney Generals Construction of
the Tax Levy.

The attorney general yesterday trans
mitted to the State Board of Charities an
opinion constituting the law passed by the
last Legislature regarding poor relief. I'm
der its provisions the township trustees will
meet next Monday at the various county
seats to levy taxes upon their respective
townships to reimburse the county for the
money spent in relieving the poor during
the preceding year The two questions aris-
ing under the law were whether the levy
should be made for the preceding twelve
months or for the time since the law went
into effect, and whether the township trus-
tee had power to levy taxes covering the
property within cities and corporate towns
lying within his township.
Upon the first point the attorney general
concludes that a tax levy cannot be made
for any portion of year, and it must
therefore cover the preceding twelve
months. Upon the second point the law is
not SO clear, but the conclusion is reached
that the burdens of taxation must be equal
and that these taxes must be levied upon
city as well upon rural property.

THE BUSINESS OF AUGUST
INDIANAPOLIS AND CHICAGO LINES
SHOW INCREASE IN TRAFFIC.
The Attitude of the MOnon More Fully
ExpIained-New Mileage Meeting
with Less Opposition.

The roads centering at Chicago from the
West and Northwest are enjoying the
largest traffic in their history, handling
more freight last month than in any August
in the history of the eleven roads coming
into Chicago from the Western and North
western States. An excellent feature is
that the business has been carried at fair
paying rates. While the deliveries of grain
far exceeded those of any month in the
history of these lines, reaching 57,474 car
loads, against $3.50 in August, 1896, and
against S6,7SS in August, 1892 the consign-
ments of all other classes of freight were
largely in excess of those of 1896. The re-
ceipts of wool increased 100000 pounds, OF
potatoes 10000 bushels, and receipts Of live
stock showed a slight increase.

A JAIL UNFIT FOR HUMANS.
Governors Reason for Renting a
Harrison County Mans Fine.

Governor Mount yesterday RENTED a
fine of $500 assessed against William Rip
perdan, of Corydon. along with Jail SEN
tence of $50 days on a charge of adultery
The members of the jury wrote a state
ment that when the fine was assessed they
supposed he was a man of means and could
pay it, but ii is discovered that he has not
$50 in the world and would have to lie in
Jail 450 days. The main reason for the re-
mission is the representation that the Har-
rison county jail is not fit for a human
being to be confined in any length of time
