PASTORS ON VACATION
UNION SERVICES AT SEVERAL OF
THE DOWNTOWN CHURCHES.
Rev. w. F. Taylor at First Presby-
terian--Rev. w. II. Holmes, of Chi
cage, at Roberts Park.

Many of the churches of the city are
closed and will be until their pastors re-
turn from their summer vacations. In some
cases two or three congregations hold
union services. The congregations of the
First Presbyterian and First Baptist
united yesterday at the First Presbyterian
Church, where Rev. w. f. Taylor of Day
ton, O., formerly pastor of the First Bap-
fist, preached the morning sermon. At
night there was no service.
Rev. William H. Holmes, pastor Of
Wicker Park NJ. E. Church, Chicago, oc-
cupied the pulpit of Roberts Park Church
morning and evening. Dr. Holmes has for
a neighbor Rev. DR.. Van Anda, former

CAUSE OF THE ADVANCE IN WHEAT.

The advance in the price of wheat is not
result of the recent tariff legislation. 1t is
true that the consumption OF wheat fell off
during the hard times which followed the
prosperous years ending with 1892. The
average consumption of wheat in the United
States during the years 1890, 1891 and 1892
was $50 bushels per capita, while during the
years 1898, 1894 and 1895 the per capita con-
sumption fell to an average of 4.27 bushels.
This is a falling off of Ia bushels to each
inhabitant during the latter three years.
Estimating the population of the country at
10000 GOO during the latter period, the falling
of in wheat consumption was $500, 600
bushels, compared with what it would have
been if it had held up to the average of
the so-caled Mckinley years. If SS500,O0O
bushels of wheat had been taken out of the
SURPRISES of 1888 1894 and 1895 prices would
not have fallen as they dd-to be attributed
to the fall in the price of silver bullion.

At Zion Park.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LOUISVILLE, Ind, Aug 15.-To day
was the second Sunday of the Zion Park
camp meeting The rain Saturday laid the
dust and cooled the air The day was a
perfect camp meeting day and it seemed
that everybody for many miles around
was at the grove. Rev. T. l. Coultas, d.
D., of Morrstown, n. j., was present and
by his able and earnest discourses drew
the people still closer to himself and
strengthened their faith in God. AT the
morning hour his subject was The search
of the soul after God" drawn WOm three
different passages in the book OF Job. His
sermon was profound and spiritual At 2:S1
DR.. Coultas again preached. His subject
was Songs in the night" His utterances
were listened to with much interest. DR..
Coultas has the faculty of putting his
whole soul into his thoughts and producing
that fervor so essential in the effective
preacher
The attendance was much larger than OH
the preceding Sunday. Next Sunday will be
the closing day of the camp meeting: Rev.
+. v collars. d. D., president OF Hiram
College o.. the old Garfield College, will
be the speaker.

English rails offered average $3.50. The
