The annual sermon was preached
by Rev. Robert d. Graham, pastor of
the Baptist church of Florence.
Strong in conception, chasts In its

the Wells Fargo and Rio Grande ex-

Offices up town. The Rio Grande
company, with Clarence Harris as

been put on the walls and many other

company very neat and convenient

THE CITY HAS NO TITLE
INQUIRY AS TO UNIVERSITY SQUARE
BY REV. MIR. JENKINS.
CouId Not he Used to Help Along Uni-
versity of Indianap-
Oils Plan.

Rev. Burris A. Jenkins, one of the trus-
tees of the University of Indianapolis. was
investigating the title to University Square
yesterday. DR.. p. II. jameson was under
the impression that when he was a mem
Der of the Council the State transferred the
title to the city. On investigation yester-
day Mr.. Burris found that the State had by
a resolution of the General Assembly given
the custody of the square to the city to i'm
prove and beautify for park purposes, but
not transferring it outright. When the trus-
tees learned that possibly the city owns the
square it was thought some arrangement
could be made by which the site of the uni
versity might be located After comforting
with Deputy Recorder Franklin, Controller
Johnson and Park Superintendent Power,
Mr.. Jenkins was rather disappointed to
learn the city does not own the ground. Now
that there is talk of the State selling the
Institute for the Blind the friends of the
University of Indianapolis are casting about
to see if means can be found by which the
university may acquire it If the city owned
University Square and were disposed to sell
it a large sum might be raised to apply to-
ward the purchase of the Institute for the
Blind. University Square itself would hard
ly be large enough for the purposes of such
a plant of buildings as the founders OF the
University of Indianapolis hope to see
reared some day.

LINGERIE FOR WOMEN.
Some of the Materials shown in De-
partment stores.

A tour through the local department stores
this week where white wear sales are in
progress fully demonstrates that the sales
are popular. One of the encoura ging fea-
lures in the present January sales is the
class of goods offered They are
several degrees higher in price and
in quality than those offered the trade
at previous seasons, which indicates that
the standard is going up. The ladies' lin
gerie department is deliberately decorated,
the finer garments being papered with
bright-colored tissue paper which sets off
tire laces of the undergarments TO perfec-
ton. There are genuine bargains in this
department. and the garments offered could
not be duplicated at twice the price quoted.
Gowns can be purchased from 80 cents to
Sc They are made of good material in many
various styles, with tucking, insertion and
ruffies. combination of short skirt and
chemise is shown which will become very
popular. They are made in the Empire eff
feet, of the finest nainsook and dainty laces
and embroideries Lovely skirts are seen
among this assortment, some with several
flounces of lace, the body of the skirt being
made of cambria while the founces are
made of India lawn some have the tiounces
in combination with insertion and tucSs,
while others are less elaborate and less eX-
pensive. A lovely skirt shown had deep
fiounce with an insertion of linen lace and
a footing of the same lace at the bottom of
the flounce and a deep dust ruftie under
Meath all for $1.98. The skirts range in
price from 70 cents to S.. The latter are
fine, with trimmings of duchesse lace and
insertion.
Among other things worthy of mention is
the new wash goods which are prettily and
advantageously displayed in draped booths.
They comprise the finest fabrics from the
famous looms of Mulhouse, Wesserling
Belfast, Manchester and Glasgow The lead
ing styles for 1899 are shown in swisses,
organdies dimities, madras, sateens, ging-
hams, piques, javanaise, etc. The advanced
Partisan colored plates are shown, with the
goods in thirty or forty different styles.
Many of the skirts are shown with polo
naise and founces and Van Dyke flounces
will be favorites. The probabilities are that
fancy piques will supplant the plain shown
last season. Their greatest rivals will be
French SateenS which, in design, are much
like fOulard silk. Exclusive patterns in
organizes are higher priced than previous
seasons, and come in twenty-five to thirty
yard pieces, Just enough for two dress pat
terms. The cOlorS in the wash goods are
more brilliant than ever before. The pinks
are brighter blues more intense. green's
deep, and designs are given over somewhat
more to conventional designs Many paids
are shown. The swisses are predicted to
become very popular, and pretty black and
white effects are among the most promi-
nent The undermuslin sales will be con-
tinued throughout this month, and are well
worth seeing.

A WoMHN'S SELF-TORTURE.
PrIcked Herself with Needles for
Breaches of Convent Rules.

CHICAGO, Jan ia remarkable case OF
self-torture as a punishment for fancied sin
has been brought to light here. Lena Walsh
Jaeger, young woman who came to this
country from Germany about a year ago. is
in the hospital recovering from an opera
ton to remove a needle imbedded in the
walls of her stomach. The needle was the
third to be removed from the young wom-
ans body, two others having been taken out
last March. The Roentgen rays have re-
vealed the presence of seven more. She says
that two years ago she was an inmate of a
convent in Germany. where she had been
put by her mother when the latter emigrat-
ed to the United States. Miss Walshiaeger
frequently broke the rules OF the institute
ton and according 10 her story. she was
told by one of the priests in the convent
to prick herself with a needle for each
breach Of propriety. The girl tried TO carry
out these instructions. bat her cOuarge FAILED

ParI1-.John Martins secret.


Sutton Vane's play, John Martins Sc
cret,' began a three-day engagement at the
Park yesterday under the most favorable
auspices. At the matinee the standing
room only sign was displayed. while the
audience at the night performance was only
slightly smaller. The play is melodrama
with elaborate scenic effects. and it is bet
ter than the average melodrama of the
Sutton Vane vintage Perhaps the most
picturesque scene is that showing AIadge
Lewis's home on the bank of the Thames,
with the lights of London shining in the
background. Another attractive setting is
that which reveals the diamond mine with
the hoists in full operation. 1t may be
doubted if patrons of the Park were ever
before treated to more lavish displays of
mechanical and scenic effects. The com
pany presenting John Martins Secret is
fully up to the standard. Some of the peo-
pie give promise of better things if oeca-
sion arises. P. A. Anderson as Israel Ke-
vosky did fine bit of character acting and
received liberal applause. Another enter
tanning part was Henry VOgels impersona-
ton of klassie Van Spiel, Dutch farmer.
May Williams as Lucinda Bright and Thorn
as w. Hill Watty Evans delighted the
audience with their lively antics and witty
sallies. These people also sang song, with
a cake walk Accompaniment that was well
received. f. Gillespie in the role of Cliff
ford Weldon did work that stamped him as
an emotional actor of exceptional ability.
The reception accorded this play proves
that a melodrama OF sterling worth is
strong drawing card at the Park. John
Martins Secret will remain the rest of the
week. Monday the May Howard Musical
Comedy Company, which has been looked
forward to with eager anticipation, will be-
gin three-day engagement.

concerts are of the same character as the
summer night concerts in the garden, though
they have not become so we'll known and
have not been so literally patronized. The
concert was given by the When Band under
the direction of Harry Klausmann. All of
the selections were applauded, and the eX-

J. Kiefer was acknowledged so vociferously
that a second selection was given. The pro-
gramme was varied and there were numbers
by Sousa, Gounod. Meyerbeer, Donizetti and
other favOrte composers. 1t is the desire
of the members of the Musk Verein to make
the concerts as popular successes as those
