Episcopal Church Missions.

There was general meeting of the women
of the Episcopal churches of the city held
yesterday afternoon at st. Pauls Church,
under the direction Of Mrs w. d. Pratt
who presided. The object of the meeting
was to revive an interest in missionary mat
ters at this Epiphany season. To this end
there were several talks given. Miss Emily
Uphold spoke of the missionary work in the
church, and was followed by Mrs. j. L.
Ketcham, of Christ Church. who spoke of
missionary boxes, and expressed the idea
that it would be much better to raise the
salaries of the home missionaries, who as
rule have more poverty and trials than the
foreign missionaries, so that they could buy
what they need rather than be obliged to
make their wants known to church many
hundred miles away and receive ill-fitting,
half-woTn clothes. To let the $1S0,000 worth
of supplies be replaced by 100000 cash would
be much more satisfactory to the mission
aries An ideal plan is to raise the salaries,
but until that is done, the mission boxes,
with clothing and supplies, will have to be
sent home missionaries. Mrs. Cooper, of
Grace Cathedral, spoke of systematic Civ
ing, even if the amount is very small, and
Mrs. S. r. Perkins of St. Pauls Church,
gave a description of the five triennial meet
ings that have been held. The next trien-
NAL will be held in San Francisco, in 1901.
At the close of the meeting small savings
boxes were distributed and it is expected
that each person receiving one will put
money in it. The boxes are to be sent to
San Francisco and opened in 1901.

Gerhard Ittenbach, probably the oldest
cut-stone contractor in the city, died at

old. Mr.. Ittenbach has cut the stone for
nearly all the prominent buildings in the

the Bates House, Roberts Park Church, the
Columbia Club, the Blind Asylum, the new
library, the new Jail, the Commercial Club,
the New York store, Fletcher's Bank, the
Indiana National Bank, and many other
structures. AS a journeyman he worked
on the stone of which the postoffice is con-
structed. His health has been failing for
several years, and just before Christmas
he grew worse but rallied shortly after New
Years. Last Saturday his case became
hopeless. Pneumonia was the immediate
cause of his death.
The most noted building on which Mr.
Ittenbach worked was the Cologne Cathe-
dral in the city where he learned his trade.
He was born in Koenigswinter, a small
town near Cologne. He came to this coun-
try in 1S4S, and after living at Cincinnati
o., and Madison, Ind, for three years, he
was sent here to work on the Deaf and
Dumb Institute After working here sew
eral years, he formed a partnership with
his brother Frank and J. c. Schmid, the
partnership being continued until 1879. when
it was dissolved. In 1892 Mr.. Ittenbach him.

Only a Thirty-Year Franchise.

Concerning the franchise which the In
dianapolis & Logansport Traction Company
is seeking at the hands of the County Com
missioners County Attorney Brown says
that should it be granted the franchise will
probably be limited to thirty years. There
is no intention, he says, of granting a fifty
years franchise. The traction company is
asking for right of way over the Michi-
gan road to the north county line. If the
franchise is granted the commissioners will
likely demand that the road be completed,
or good part Of it. inside of two years.

OLD GLORY.

Honder flag in the sky, star-gemmed
and pure as an angels wing, smiles
and kisses the sunlight rs it proclaims
the chivalry OF men, the valor of heroes,
the devotion of patriots, the triumphs
of liberty, equality and eternal right.
The dying patrOit, whether on the
flame swept crest of Bunker Hill, Get
tysburg or San Juan, gazed with last
and longing look upon it as the stain
less emblem OF all that Washington
gave and Lincoln saved. That flag,
our flag, the flag of libertyl Shall it
be made to stand as the ensign of con-
quest, greed and bondage, its sacred
folds wet with the blood and tears of a
people struggling for liberty and indie
pendence? Forbid it, Almighty God !
1t was opposition to imperialism which
gave that standard to the world. The
blood shed in the struggle for liberty
gave to its stripes streaks of the MORN
ing light, while the hands that wrote
with the point of swords the immortal
declaration that governments derive
their just powers from the consent Of
the governed" gathered its stars and
set them in a galaxy of glory. If gov
ernments do not derive their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned, the stripes fade, the stars lose
their luster and that glorious emblem
of the rights of man becomes a mean
ingless rag.-Windle's Gatling Gun.
