DIR. COughIin Reports n Conversation
with Cant. Evans.

Dr. George w. Coughlin on his recent
visit to Key West and Havana spent sew
eral hours on the Iowa. Capt. Robley ID.
Evans's crack fighting vessel One day in
the captains cabin of the Iowa DR.. Cough
lin brought up the subject of war with
Spain. Captain Evans is in his element
when talking about lighting Spain or any
body else. DIR. Coughlin says:
Evans got up and stamped around the
room in his excitement-he has a wooden
leg. you know--and said if they got orders
to move on Havana the fleet could leave
Key West at 10 o'clock at night and reach
Havana at early breakfast time. Then,
Captain Evans said. he could take the Iowa
or Indiana up within 500 yards of Morro
Castle. blow all the Spanish twelve-inch
guns off their carriages and the Spanish
gunners to warmer place even than Morro
Castle would be about that time. Having
silenced the Spanish twelVe-inch guns, the
res1 of the fleet could come up and soon the
Spaniards and their fcrtihcntions would be
nothing but memory. Captain Evans said.
Then we'd eat dinner en- shore in

DR. Coughlin says the officers and men of
the fleet at Key West are ready for war,
and it can't come too quickly for them.

ing that each man starts out clothed in
his uniform, stout shoes, heavy underwear
socks and neglge shirt. Those who shave
will carry razOrs in their blanket bags, and
those with 'fhome ties" in the shape of
sweethearts, wives or mothers will add to
their equipment paper. pencils and postage
stamps. 4 few "swells'' will carry hand
mirrors, and one pampered son of luxury
last night avowed his intention OF taking
pajamas. A number will take brushes and
combs, but the majority will rely ON bor-
rowing. All these arrangements are sub
ject to change if not fro'a Captain Curtis,
perhaps from the federal government. 1t
is expected that if the militia is mobilized
at Chickamauga or some other point the
government will fit out the soldiers with
shirts and socks Will be issued, and even
the uniform itself may be changed. This
may be done before the militia leaves but
it is not thought likely.
Besides his personal baggage and blanket,
the equipment of an artilleryman consists
Of sabre, canteen and meat pan The latter
is an affair which folds into very small
compass and can be carried very convent
emily. All these things the artilleryman is
expected to carry when necessary in making
marches. The artilleryman rides. either on
the caiSson or the horses that pull the ord
nance, and his baggage follows behind in
wagon. The quartermaster sergeant has
charge of the TRANSPORTATION arrangements
and issuing of supplies Each blanket bag is
numbered to correspond with the number
of the man whose effects it contains, and
after going into camp the owner gets it
from the quartermaster. In the trip from
Indianapolis to Chickamauga, if the Light
Artillery is ordered out, the arrangements
for transportation will differ little from
those of a theatrical company. Each man
will dump his baggage at the armory
and his responsibility will then cease. The
proper officer will see that he gets it again
at the end of the journey.
The mastering in of new artillery recruits
has about ceased. The battery now has 120
men, including officers, which is seventeen
in excess of the war footing. Enough men
will drop out to make room for the extra
recruits but no more swearing i'm will be
necessary. The attention of the officers is
now transferred to the equipment of their
men. Uniforms are being made as fast as
possible, but in the event that the battery
is ordered out in the next few days, a num-
ber of the new men will have to be supplied
from the misfit parlors at the statehouse
The State has plenty of uniforms. but the
fastidious young soldiers are fearful that
there will be mo style to the fit. But the
fact that clothes don't make the man is
thoroughly understood, and no man will be
left at home because the bottoms of his
trousers are averse to meeting his shoe tops
or his sleeves are somewhat decollette.
Everything goes and Uncle Sam will
make it all right at Chickamauga

THE LUTHERAN SYNOD.
Some Statistics Regarding the
Church's Work.

The Lutheran Synod, now in session in
this city, began it's second days proceed
ings with prayer by the chaplain, Rev. j.
A. Lothmann, of Akron, o. The event of
the day was the discussion of a thesis
based on the work of DIR. Walker of st.
Louis 1.-The True Character of Local
Evangelical Congregation, Which is Inde-
pendent of the State" The thesis was APP
piled to 1.-THE Duties of Local Evangelical
Lutheran Congregation" and was ably dis
cIssed by Rev. G. Link. of I4aporte. The
original text, he said, had established a
new epoch in church government among the
Lutherans, to the end that all affairs both
external and internal are now managed by
the local congregation, and not by bishops
or other prelates. Experience has shown
better results for churches wholly in the
hands of an assembly of believers" than
in the grasp of a controlling foreign body.
Rev. Mr.. Link was followed by Revs. A.
Scheichten, of CINCINNATI; Gross and
Fucker, of Fort Wayne; FRANKIE of Evans
Vile, and Schmidt, of Seymour, who all
agreed that 1.-The first duty of the local
Evangelical Lutheran congregation is to let

pastors, 7S1 parochial teachers, 1903 church
schools, ,404 active members, 392, Col COM

tai number of interested persons of 900 ,334
During 1897 there were 36,903 baptiSmS, 7,94S
marriages, 1857 burials and 1885 confirma-
tions
The subject of missions consumed the
time devoted to the afternoon session, and
the need of more extended effort in this
direction was strongly urged by Secretary
Bleddermann. The most evident need was
felt to be in the gas belt, close to the center
of their field. Here it was shown that
small groups of Lutherans We're in some
cases totally without church houses. much
to their detriment. 1t was thought best to
make the more concerted effort here at

work now under way or contemplated in
other places, notably in Ohio and Kentucky,
which still needs improvement. The pres
ent established missions which include insti-
tutions for Germans. negroes, em1grantS,
deaf mutes and Jews, together with the
parochial schools throughout the country,
are reported as in an excellent condition.
All the literature of both missions and
schools is published by the synod and in
addition half million of dollars annually
is needed and will be raised to support and
expand the schools The report shows that

AT the Centennial Exposition in Philadel-
phia TN 1876 an exhibit from the Imperial!
Technical School of Moscow, Russia, show
ing the work of students in mechanical
arts attracted the general attention Of those
interested in the educational progress of
this country. AT that time no work of a
similar nature existed in the United States.
Three years later Purdue University be-
came one of very few institutions TO
inaugurate work based upon that of the
Imperial Technical School of Moscow This
was the beginning of a movement which
has resulted in the splendid laboratory
work which ds now to be found at Purdue
and which has attracted the attention even
OF those concerned with the Imperial Tech
ncal School of Moscow, Russia. The fol-
lowing quotation from a letter received by
the director of the Purdue laboratory writ
ten IN English, from Moscow, tells its own
story:
Il learned from reading American tech
ncal journals and from other sources that
at Purdue University the teaching of tech
meal sciences, especially of railway me-
chanical engineering, locomotive and rolling
stock construction, is arranged remarkab bly,
We'll that laboratory tests are executed at
this school over full-sZed locomotives and
that in general it can be considered a
standard institution for studying railroad
engineering, and, therefore, having no
possibility at the present time to under
take a voyage to America i'm order to make
acquaintance with the organization of
teaching at this eminent school. / wish to
make acquaintance with the programme of
courses in railway mechanical engineering
used at this institution and with their con-
tents. 1t is of very great interest to me,
because, being now an engineer of motive
power and rolling stock on one of the Rus
sian railroads. L hope to become a teacher
Of railway engineering at the Technical
School in Moscow and am preparing myself
for this profession. This is the reason
which caused me to have a recourse to your
amiability and kindness and to beg you not
to refuse to write to me q few lines"
Professor Goss, director of the Purdue
laboratory, says this letter is a type of
many that are received at the laboratory
also, that the publications containing re-
suits of engineering research which are
issued fro Purdue are accorded a high
place in the proceedings of American en-
gineering societies and are generally wide

..Nhat to Take to War" Is Now the
Engroxsing Question.


For the first time in some weeks affairs
were quiet last night at the armory OF the
Indianapolis Light Artillery, A number of
the new recruits and,some of the veterans

however. and there was nothing to do but

Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway
to succeed Mr.. Galloway. The annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the Lake Shore
will occur on May and at the next meet
ing of the directors Mr.. Newman will be

Mr.. Newman commenced his railroad ex-
perience in July. 1866. with Thomas A. Scott
on the Texas Pacific in Texas. When Mr..
Gould obtained possession of the Texas Pa
cifc and united ii with his Southwestern
system he appointed Mr.. Newman traffic
manager From that position he went to
the Chicago &S Northwestern as third vice
president in charge of the traffic, where he
remained for seven years. From there he
became the second vice president of the
Great Northern road. which position he now
holds. In taking the place of the president
of the Lake Shore he returns again to the
Vanderbilt system in which he has his
largest experience and made his reputation,
so that the appointment is regarded virtual
