All men are brothers, but the great
majority OF them are awfully slow about
acknowledging the relationship. When
the canoe rides on the crest of the
wave, and the spray of success on your
face and garments, how gladly does the
extended hand grasp yours; how kindly
do the eyes express admiration and
friendship. But come again, poor man
when the sullen waters of disaster sat-
urate your clothes and the sea weeds of
despair cling to you; pass before that
group of men and perhaps few plying
eyes may glance at you, but in those
chances will be no token.of recognition.
Don't you recognize something wrong
in such a condition in the minds of
men? 1t is the man without credit who
needs money from the bank; it is the
man without friends who needs them;
it is the heart benumbed by neglect
that needs the sunlight of love. Broth
ers, If you learn well the lessons taught
by our noble order, and live your obli-
cations, you will help to roll the world
up into higher and nobler civiliza-
ton, where there will be no poor, and
no outcasts-where each will live for
others happiness. Washington Work

Eve Remedies.

One of the simplest and best RENE
dies for inflammation or strain is to
battle the eyes in warm water. Another
good remedy is solution of salt and
water made by putting teaspoonful of
fine table salt into half pint of water
Let it boil, and when cold strain it, re-
moving any particles or sediment Put
ting this on the outside of the lids is
simply "a waste of time. The eye should
be opened, the lids drawn back, and the
infamed portion touched with camel 8
hair brush dipped in the salt water.
Outside applications do not reach the
seat Of the ailment. A teaspoonful Of
boracic acid i'll half pint of water pre-
pared in the same way is excellent. II
there are granulations and very serious
inflammation, boil teaspoonful of
alum in pint of water until it is dis
solved, then strain or filter as described
and apply with camel's hair brush
several times day. This is one of the
most efficacious of remedies. - New
York Ledger.

1t is difficult to define the only sure
test of friendship. Adversely probably
comes as near to it as anything else.
While man is prosperous and makes
no demands upon any one for sacrifices
he can command troops of so-called
friends, but he will never know who
was his true friends until he has been
obliged to call upon them for help of
some kind. The money test is not the
surest or best, but that alone when
applied will prove the hollowness of
much professed friendship, but it is not
infallable because some men set little
value upon money; they give it away
more freely than they would their time
or their comfort. The true test comes
when one is asked to make real sacri-
flee for the sake of friend--to act UNI
seltishly. Friendship is love in a
restricted sense, love existing between
persons not bound together by ties of
marriage, and it should have all the
qualities of true love-constancy, devo-
ton, an unselfish desire to serve. 1t is
when the subject of such love is in dis
tress that true friendship exhibits itself
at its best, and it is just at this time
that false friends fall away. Their
friendship has been a sham and the
mask falls from them when they are
called upon for something more than
mere lip service. The things that
make for true friendship are the things
that are to be commended and upheld.

PROTEST AGAINST ROBERTS.
The Ministers Will Urge Congress to
Unseat Him.

A large number of ministers of all de-
nominations met at the Meridian-street M.

address on the Mormon question by Rev.
DR.. S. e. Wishard, superintendent of Pres
byterian missions in Utah. DR.. Wishard re-
ferred to the perfect organization of the
church and how it was possible to apply it
as political machine. He took up the case
of Representative-elect Roberts, of Utah
and urged united action against seating him.
A committee, consisting of the Revs. S. A.
Hicks, r. V. Hunter c. c. Lasby, d. r.
Lucas, l.. w. Bicknell and A. j. Brown
was appointed to draw up a statement to be
submitted to the Indianapolis Minister'S AS

UNIFORMITY IN TEACHING.
state superintendent VIII Make Rec
concentrations.

The state superintendent of instruction,
in his annual report, will make some recon-
mendations to the Legislature calculated to
cause revolution in the county school sys-
tenn Of the State. The principal efforts of
the state superintendent will be directed
against the county superintendent, with
reference to the qualifications they should
possess in order to hold office At present,
according to Superintendent Geeting, the
only qualification expected in a county SUI
perintendent is that he shall have been a
resident of the county for one year before
becoming superintendent. If the state super
intendents advice is accepted by the Leg
islature these officials will hereafter be re-
quired to have an academic education as a
minimum qualification, and be qualified to
apply for and receive the highest county
license. The state superintendent feels that
the position Of county superintendent is too
often looked upon as a snecure. and in
many cases a superintendent qualifications
are gagged from political standpoint,
rather than from an educational one. With

MICHAEL ]. BURNS DEAD,
A School Commissioners and Formerly
Councilman.

Michael ]. Burns, member Of the Board
of School Commissioners, and one of the
best-known Irishmen in the city, died at
st. Vincent's Hospital shortly before 6
o'clock last night from intestinal obstruc-
ton. He was taken to the hospital in the
morning, and it was then realized that there
was little hope for him. In the afternoon
DR.. Hodges performed an operation as last
resort, but this failed to relieve him. Mr..
Burns had been suffering for many years
from intestinal complaint. Recently he had
had a number of severe attacks. He was
fifty years of age at the time of his DEATH,
and resided at 1898 West Washington street.
For quarter of century he has been in
the employ of the local street-car company,
and before his death was serving as night
superintendent.
Mr.. Burns served several terms as a
member Of the Common Council, and was
prominently identified with Democratic pol
itics in the city. At one time he was as
sistant superintendent of the Citizens
Street-railroad Company, having served as
barn foreman and in various other capaci-
ties. His influence over men made him a
valuable employee to the company. He was
always sober and industrious. During Tag
CARTS first term as mayor Mr.. Burns was
foreman of street repairs, but when Tag
CARTS second term began he was suppanted
by Michael Laughlin- In Irish societies MIR.
Burns was influential, and was delegate
to several national conventions. AS Hi
bernian he was well known. He had been
reached his majority. Mr.. Burns had been
married twice, and leaves wife and nine

regard to the teachers he will recommend
that county examinations for the issuing OF
teachers certificates be practically done
away with and that all the teachers of the
State be brought under the direct control
of the state superintendent 1t is his idea
TO have uniform examination for all
teachers in Indiana, and believes that the
best results will follow an examination by
the state board, instead of each county ex-
aiming teachers according TO its own
standard, which. in many cases. is rather
vague. By the state superintendent issuing
the licenses for all teachers in the state, he
thinks. every county will be benefited some
perhaps more than Others but all to some
extent The standard of teaching will then
be uniform in all counties, and not only
will the quality be improved so far as the
teachers are concerned, but the grading of
pupils who move from one county to an
other will be accomplished with more sat
isfaction to all concerned. Besides weed
ing out the incompetent teachers, who, in
some cases. owe their positions to the
friendship of some member of a county eX-
aiming board, the new plan will make
things easier for the teachers as a whole.
AT present If a teacher moves from one
county to another. though he holds the high
est sort of licenses in the county from which
he comes, he must be examined by the
county board of the county in which he ex-
poets to teach.

First Ward Gas.

A delegation of citizens from the First
ward visited Mayor Taggart yesterday to
demand that the city either compel the gas
companies to furnish more gas or reduce
the price. The delegation was led by John
z. Lyendecker, who presented a petition
signed by 2JO gas consumers. The delegation
said that the gas was very low in its neigh
borhood. Mr. Lyendecker said he could not
understand why the street on which a for
mer councilman and now a legislator lives
has plenty of gas, while other streets in the
neighborhood have very low pressure.
Mayor Taggart explained to the delegation
that the city could not compel the gas COM
panies to furnish gas when they have none.
Lyendecker replied that the delegation
thought it should only pay for the gas it re-
ceived. Mayor Taggart promised that the
city engineer would investigate the gas sys-
tenn, and that new ordinance would prob
ably be prepared based on his report

EARL HALL RELEASED.
Judge Cox Continues His Case In
definitely.

Earl S. Hall, arrested by the detectives,
on the charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses was released under his own
recognizance yesterday by Judge Cox, and
his case was continued indefinitely. Hail. as
agent of an accident insurance company,
had collected money from several physicians
who had agreed to take out policies. Hall
kept the money as his commission and the
physicians, failing to receive their policies,
complained to the detective department.
Hall told the court that, under a rule of
the company, the commissions would have
been applied on the premiums. This rule
had been changed without his knowledge,
he said, and he did not mean to defraud his
patrons He has been regarded as an honest
man by the local insurance agents who
have employed him. He has a family.

FIRST BAPTIST PLANS.
New Structure to Cost 100000 in Con-
temptation.

The First Baptist Church may erect a
new structure on the site of the present
church, at Pennsylvania and New York
streets For some years new church has
been discussed among the members, and a
building committee, consisting of A. A.
Barnes, S. o. Pickens and S. NJ. Dyer, was
appointed to consider whether new church
should be erected or the old one repaired.
This committee yesterday at noon examined
plans for new church at the Commercial
Club, and decided to report to the church
in favor of stone and brick building of
Roman style of architecture. The plan SUBJ
mitted provided for clubrooms, Sunday
school rooms, lecture room and gym
aasium. The rear part would be three sto-
ries in height and the auditorium would seat
about 1850 people. The estimated cost of
a building under these plans is about $50 600.
The report in favor of this structure will
be made TO the church possibly this coming
Thursday evening. and possibly not for a
week. when action will be taken on it. If
the church decides to put up the new build
ing, about two months will be required to
perfect the plans and about eight months
to erect the building.

W. B. Hord, of New York, has another
plan by which he thinks the water works
of indianapolis may be transferred to the
city. He is Of the opinion that the difficulty
might be settled by arbitration, and Mayor
Taggart holds the same view, provided the
voters of the city will approve the plan
Mr.. Hord suggests that the price. for thl
plant might be fixed by a board of appraiae-
ment. This board would be composed of two
members named by the city, two bv tho
water company and fifth, who would be
selected by the other four Mr.. Hord's plan
is to have the board composed of nonresi-
dents of the city. After the board had up
praised the value of the plant an election
would be held, when every voter would be
given an opportunity Of casting a ballot for
or against the scheme. Should the election
result in a demand for the plant, the city
would then pay the price fixed by the board

CHILDREN In FACTORIES.
Inspector McAbee Called to Envesti.
gate Terre Haute Complaints.

State Factory Inspector MeAbee has been
called to Terre Haute to investigate several
complaints made in that city concerning the
employment of children in many factories.
The protests coming from there indicate that
both girls and boys much younger than
fourteen years of age have been constantly
employed by several manufacturers in spite
of local protests. Inspector McAbee's sys-
tenn is likely to end such a state of affairs
suddenly, as his favorite method of pro-
cedure, after warning violators of the law
by mail, is to gather his information with
out attracting much attention and bring
suits through the prosecutor of the county IN
which the violations are committed. Mr..
McAbee is making many visits to different
points in the State at present in order to
fully cover the state field and bring his re-
port for the year up to date.

A Valuable Diamond Brooch Foun.

Yesterday man, whose name Chief of
Detectives Colbert declines to make public,

and pearls. A jeweler said it was worth
about 500. The man who brought it said
he found it on the viaduct Wednesday

untarnished and the interstices We're free
from dirt. On Wednesday morning there
was three inches of snow on the ground.
The brooch has a half-carat diamond in the
center, with eight smaller diamonds in a
circle around it. On the outer edge are for
ty-eight small pearls, set in eight clusters of
six pearls each. The owner of the brooch
may have it by calling at the office of the
detective department. and identifying it.
