LESSON OF LATE OCCURRENCE.
1t lis that the Man of Worth and Sim
cerity Is Coming to the Front.


On Jan. a memorial service was held in
the Harvard chapel in memory of young
Marshall Newell the graduate of "a who
was killed by accident on Christmas eve
This service, perhaps in a way the highest
tribute which the university can pay to
graduate is of great interest, as showing
spirit of appreciation very new indeed
among us 1t is the appreciation OF the
average man. Young Newell had. IT IS true,
been prominent in athletics, baseball and
football during his college career, and per-
hapS In that way presented his name
oftener before the public than the ordinary
average man; but it was not on TINS ac-
count that he was honored in the same way
as James Russell Lowell and other great
men of their time Nor was ii on account
of the quite subordinate position in the
Boston & Albany Railroad which he held
at the time of his death. 1t was on account
of his sterling character purely and simply.
Perhaps on account of his very comparative
obscurity the service held; so young
a man would not have had the time to be-
come distinguished in any walk of life and
had he striven for fame the results would
have fallen far short of the reality. The
occasion was one of great reimbursement
for us all. OF course fat preachers have
told US, BE good and you will be happy"
and lean ones have told us that pain and
tribulation are portion here. Many
earnest writer's have exalted the quiet life
of Self-sacrfice and decried the striving for
glory; but after all, this either smelled so
much of the lamp or seemed so wishy-
Washy that many people were the more I'M
PEELED to desert the ranks of the righteous
mediocre and strive for the crown of vain
ambition. But here is q case where with
out any reckless striving, without any mock
humility, without any pjous self-immolation,
recognition and appreciation We're won from
just those people at whose hands it would
most have pleased the young man to re-
ceiye them. The occasion had a message
of engagement to us all: not because we
may hope each one to enjoy our own me-
mortal service but because we here have
proof of the influence exerted by the quiet
life of an upright man in the world If his
actions and words were taken note of, ours
are, too, and after all, however unworthy
the motive the love of being in other mems
thoughts is great impelling force. Call it
appreciation, applause, reputation, fame,

OVER 300 SUBSCRIBERS.
Result of New Telephone Company's
Two-Day Canvass.

The new telephone company has appar-
emily gone to work with a determination
20 obtain d foothold in indianapolis. and
expects before many days to make formal
application to the Board of Public Works
for a franchise. Canvassers started out
Monday afternoon and were at work all
day yesterday, calling upon business men
and householders for the purpose of obtain
ing subscribers. The contracts are such
that they are not binding until 1900 sub
scribers are secured. AS this number en-
braces all the present telephone users the
terms offered by the new company are APP
pealng to the people, and many contracts
are being secured. over d hundred sub
scrbers were secured Monday afternoon,
and twice that number signed contracts
yesterday.
The low rates offered by the new company
cause many persons now using telephones
to agree to put in the new service under
the conditions of the contracts, and about
oue-thrd OF the new subscribers are per-
sens who have heretofore not used tele-
phones on account OF the high rates
charged by the Central Union Company.
The new company offers service at $40 per
annum for business hoases and $24 for resi-
dencsS.
