NO RAIN DAUNTS THEM.
A Characteristic Meeting of the Sal
walton Army Folks.

To the members of well-regulated fam
lilies whose ideas of Sabbath devotions are
comprised in the attendance at a more or
less sumptuousIy furnished church. where
an eloquent, polished clergyman, magnif-
cent pipe organ and salaried choir add to
the solemnity of the occasion, the worship
of the Creator under more difficult circum-
stances would prove revelation. The fact
that the Salvation Army exists in this city
is one that everyone is more or less IA
miiar with, but how little of their work
is known outside of the circle in which they
elect to labor is evidenced by the people
who attend their services.
Last night was a rainy one, but this
did not deter the workers from going out
in the inclement weather. While the rain
descended in sheets they stood in the street
and while speaking barred their heads while
addressing a crowd more or less sheltered
by awnings One noticeable thing about
the testimonials was the ever-present,
universal preface to their talks, the re-
mark, Il am so glad etc. Throughout the
world this is the proper opening for an
Army speech. No explanation can be
given as to why one hears it everywhere
in their meetings. Perhaps it is as one of
their officers once said: True religion
makes one glad, noI sorrowful." However
that may be. it remains the distinguishing
mark of the Salvation Army worker s
speech.
Quite crowd followed the noisy little
band to their barracks and listened to
their rude. demonstrative method of pre-
senting the old divine truth. AS usual, the
collections were small. and one of those
present, in speaking to his neighbor, re-
marked that he could not see how, after
paying the expenses of the hall, there could
be any profit from which to pay salaries
for the officers. A salvatonist enlightened
was ever given salary by the main body
of the organization, nor even the assurance
of three meals a day. They simply gave
their services without even the assurance
of bed on which to lie. WELL" said the
man, when he had assimilated this informa-
ton, IF that is So those fellows certainly
mean what they say
AS everyone feels that the laborer is
worthy of his hire, and it is common prac-
tice for church trustees to fix a more or
less respectable salary for the pastor S
maintenance, most people will find it hard
to believe that there are men in the coun-
try so earnest in Christian work that they
will literally take no heed Of their per-
sonal wants, but face absolute want be-
sides open hostility to accomplish that
done to a greater extent every year in
nearly every country the earth. Men
and women from all walks of life, with all
degrees of intelligence and education, work
and labor on common ground and yearly
force themselves nearer to position where
they will be felt by a class which now
knows of them only in a. superficial way.

DANNY" A VETERAN.
Pitcher Monroe Is by No Means a
YOungster.

AS the advance guard of the Indianapolis
ball team has invaded the city in the person
of Joe Kostal, graduate of the ill-starred
Central League of 1897, and Deadly, of
last years team baseball stories will be in
order from now on One about Danny
Monroe is a. good one. One of the local pa
pers, in speaking of him, applies to him the
term ''youngster' This is no doubt fiat
tering to Danny's vanity, but it hardly hits
the mark. 1t is an openly debatable ques-
ton as to whether Mr.. Monroe is not an
older player, professionally, than any man
on the local team, including Manager Allen.
Danny was a professional pitcher, and
a good one, too, thirteen years ago, and
was veteran with an established reputa-
ton before such stars as Amos Rusie, John
Grim, Jouett Meakin, Dahlen and Jennings
were thought of. "Danny's'' most invet-
crate rival in his early days was Tom Low
EFT, who as National League pitcher with
Brooklyn, was afterward a wonder. Lovett
at that time pitched in Bridgeport, Conn.,,
and Monroe at Danbury, in the same state.
The makeup of the teams was of about
them were only pitchers battles.
Game after game was played with vic
tories about evenly divided. until the par
tisan spirit was so strong between the two
cities that the visiting delegations from
each town equaled the home attendance;
and often led to small riots Lovett and
Monroe, in their respective bailiwicks,
owned everything in sight, and right there
Monroe was spoiled. Lovett took care of
himself and rose TO the highest notch with
not bit more ability than Monroe, while
the latter contracted habits which held him
down. For several years he went a good
pace that kills, and shows to this day that
he is a physical marvel, for after upward
of thirteen years of pitching and fast living
he last year showed great ability until his
old complaint made itself apparent. He is
a man of boyish appearance, made of steel,
and if he follows Manager Aliens guidance
in the proper spirit will yet make a record
for length of service far above any pitcher
ever known.

At THE Y. M. c. A.
Indiana University GIee Club Assists
at Services.

At the Y. NJ c. A. chapel yesterday after
noon the Indiana University Glee Club as
sisted In the regular mems meeting. There
are fourteen singers in the Glee Club, and
their rendition of sacred and semi-sacred
songs was much appreciated by the large
audience. Rev. r. V. Hunter. pastor of
the Seventh Presbyterian Church, made
the afternoon address from the text in Rev
elation, 1.-The books We're opened" This
text he said. referred to the day of iudg-
ment, when all must account for their lives
The first book to be opened will be the
book OF memory and the second the book
of conscience. when every man will have
recalled to him every sin and every evil deed
of his life Conscience he likened to the
furies of mythology pursuing the Greek
youth Orestes, who had slain his mother.
Tho Greek was unable to escape the terrible
furies. one bearing the body of the mother
he had murdered, and after fleeing from
city to city and province to province in
despair his mind was shattered He spoke
OF a celebrated picture of this myth wherein
the artist portrayed the fleeing Greek youth
and the FMres bearing his mother with
the hiit of his dagger protrudng from her
turned and her garb bathed in blood. That
picture, said the pastor is the artist s
conception OF conscience. What you have
done will follow you like the Furies when
the book of conscience is open; your own
souls viii shiver in the presence of your
conscience"
but he said, there is another book that
VIII be opened--the Lambs book of life. All
who accept Jesus Christ, forsake their sins
and trust Him viii have their names writ
ten there.

THE RIVER ROSE AGAIN.
But 1t Has Not Approached the DAN
ger Limit.

There was some fear last night that the
renewal of rain which visited Indianapolis
yesterday and Saturday night would cause
a second edition. of the food experienced a
few days before. but the fear is groundless.
The river had not yet fallen to it's normal
level, and has risen slightly by reason of
the second rain. 1t rose nearly three feet
Saturday night and yesterday, but became
stationary about o'clock last night, the
water company's gauge showing seven feet
eight inches The highest gauge reached
during the previous rain was thirteen feet
and six inches.
In the region of Haughville the river has
backed up on the west side. covering some
of the ground recently inundated but doing
no damage. Fall creek is also little more
troublesome, but not nearly so vicious as a
few days ago.

1NFALL1B1LITY OF THE POPE.
Sermon by Rev. Joseph II. Koss"hn-
KEEL. n Jesuit.

Tn snite of the inclemency of the weather,
Pew Josenh r. Rosswinkel a Jesuit, OF
Chicago, is attracting large crowds Father
Rosswinkel has been giving series of lee
lures at Assumption Catholic Church our
ine the last week. His sermon yesterday on
"The Pope Supreme and Infallible' was,
in part, as follows:
"Christ our Lord compares His church to
a building, and makes st. Peter the FOUNDER
of it, Thou art Peter, and upon TINS rock
I shall build my church., Matthew XVI 10
Again Christ said to Peter, 1 nave prayed
for thee, that thy faith fail not, ana thou
being once converted confirm thy prethren'
Luke xxi, 81. Again, He compares his
church to a kingdom and delivers the Keys
the universally recognized symbol Oh au-
thority, to st. Peter: And VIII give thee
tho keys of the kingdom OF heaven, Mat
thew xvi, 16. Also He compares his churcn
70 a sheepfold and makes st. Peter the head
shepherd. Feed my lambs, FEED my sheep'
John xxi. 15-17. From these and thousands
of other testimonies, which have at hand
but which time prevents me from quoting,
q is evident that the Roman primacy was
proclaimed from the entire Christendom,
not from Rome and Italy alone, but from
Alexandria. Jerusalem, Africa, from the
deserts of Siberia. from Spain and Gaul.
and from everywhere by the greatest ana
brightest ornaments of the Christian church,

How. in the face of this unanimous testl-
mony of history, did those infamous men
of the Reformation dare to assert that the
supremacy of tho Pope Mas human addi-
ton, or usurpation. How strange, that al
together unsupported by reason, history
and scripture as their assertion was, men
could be found who would rather acknoWl-
edge the supremacy of Luther, of Henry
VIII of an Elizabeth, than the legitimate
successor of ST. Peter. whom the whole
Christian world acknowledge as supreme in
faith Even at this late day let them bring
forward one single proof, TO support their

Different from all other petit

made its way right into the popu-

If you have not investigated its
virtues take the advice of those
who have, and do not have your

Where Extremes
Meet .

The most slightly built young
lady and the stoutest Of women
join in praises of HER MALES
TY'S"i Corset.
For the former it answers the
purpose of a perfect body brace.
preventing the stopping habit and
giving to the growing girl or the
slender woman an erect figure and
comedy carriage. For the last
mentioned it serves as molder
of the form, decreasing the hips
and abdomen and lengthening the
waist without the least discom-
fort.
To both these classes of women
"HER MAJESTY'S" Corset has
proved an undisguised blessing
and they are its most liberal adj
VertiSers.
We shall be pleased to show this
wonderful Corset to all who call
at our corset department.
