Rev. Mr. HnssIer DisIodged.

Trouble OF a serious character has been
brewing for some time in the East Wash
ington-street Presbyterian Church between
the pastor. Rev. Arson l.. Hassler and a
faction of his congregation, which cul-
minated in the resignation of Mr. Hassler
and the withdrawal of ninety-four mem
bers on the spot. Several months ago it
seems that Mr.. Hassler attempted to dis
cipline several members of his church be-
cause of an attack on him. but because of
the apathy Of the church officers could en-
force nothing against them. Concerted ac-
ton by the hostile party led to a meeting
last Thursday at which the discussion as
to whether the pastor be retained another
year or ousted summarily resulted I'm a tie
vote.
Fearing that his friends could not main
tain their position, Mr. Hassler, on their
advice, rendered his resignation. TO fore
stall any attempt to dislodge him, agreeing

CASTLE HALL TAXES.
Already Held that the IA. of II. Prop
erty Is Liable.

The matter of the sale of the Castle Hall
Associations property for delinquent taxes
may come up again soon and be settled def
nitely 1t was the intention of the association
yesterday to make formal application for
exemption from taxation, on the ground that
the Pythian Order is a benevolent society
like the j. o. O. Il. and kindred organiZa-
lions. Frank l.. Dougherty, secretary of
the Castle Hall Association, called on Coun-
ty Auditor Smith in the morning for that
purpose. He was persuaded by Mr.. Smith
to withhold his action until an opinion could
be obtained from the county attorney.
There is no reason brought forward now
for exemption that was not alleged in the
original application filed in 1893. AT that
time Alfred Hovey, then county attorney,
decided that the Castle Hall property was
liable for taxes. Since then the matter has
been left open, as Auditor Smith says, like
thousands of other cases on the tax dupli-
Gates which are involved in controversy
County Attorney Brown says he has been
asked for no opinion in the case, and unless
there is some new argument brought for
ward as to why the property should be ex-
empt he can see no reason why he should
render an opinion different from that of
his predecessor Mr.. Hovey.

sUNDAY-SCHO0L ATTENDANCE
Not Declining, Say the indianapolis
Superintendents.

'Ts the Sunday-school Declining?" was
the topic for discussion at the meeting of
the indianapolis Sunday-school Superinten-
dents Association, held at Central-avenue
M. E. Church last night. The discussion
was opened by Chas. +. Coffin. The ques-
ton of the decline of the Sunday-schoool
was raised by an article in the last issue
of a woman's periodical in which the edi-
tor undertook to show that the Sunday
school is not what it once was and is
gradually falling off in attendance. All of
the speakers last night took issue with the
article in question. Mr.. Coffin, in his talk,
reviewed the history of international Sum
day-school work and showed that in the
last eleven years there has been an increase
in Sunday-school attendance of 80 per cent,
while the increase in population IN the same
territory has been 80 per cent. John IL.
Holiday superintendent of the Sunday
school of the First Presbyterian Church,
spoke in defense of the work and showed
facts that controverted the statement Of
the editor. w. G. Hall, superintendent of
the Tabernacle Sunday-schoool, said he mad
written the editor asking the privilege OF
a polite note in which the editor pleaded
lack of space. He said that owing 10 the
fact that all of the reading matter OF the
iuornal was contracted for in advance 1t
would probably be six months before MI.
Halls article could possibly appear. In
view of these facts, the editor was opiised
to decline the proposition OF Mr.. Han.
Charles d. Meigs gave some hgures snow
ing something about the Sunday-schools
i'm the State. He said that in one year 1866
new Sunday-schoolS were organized In the
state. There are now 5,173 Sunday-schools
in Indiana. ,

No University Club site Selected.

There was meeting yesterday of a COM
mittee recently appointed by the University
Club to select "a site for clubhouse. Moth
ing was accomplished as the committee did
not know the financial condition of the club
There was a long list of sites submitted at
prices ranging from $4,000 To $4,000, but
as the committee did not know how much
the club wanted to pay or could afford to
pay, no recommendation was made. The
club had already about four hundred mem
bers, who have subscribed for "A share of
stock each. This gives about $40, 600 to count
on but the committee was not willing to
