formed him he must take his own beat.
He replied that he guessed he would
turn in his tools and started for the
city hall. When Chief Lavell was op-
prised of the circumstances he told
Officer Torpey no discrimination would
be made in his favor and that he would
have to work the beat he was assigned
to like any other officer. officer Torpey
declared he would not work that night
and Chief Lavell told him he would
have to or he would be suspended for
80 days. The suspension went and this
is why Officer Torpey is taking
rest
Whatever may be the merits of the
case. the suspension is liable TO raise
another question. The ordinance regu-
lations governing the police department
do not confer the power upon the head
of the department to suspend an OFF,
Ger. If the chief wishes to punish an
officer for INSTRUMENTATION, he must file
charges with the council and a hearing
be had before the police committee,
after which the council may take such
action as it sees fit, but the power OF
suspension rests wholly with the coun-
ell and If Officer Torpey sees fit to push
it, it is possible the city may have to
pay him his salary during his enforced
vacation.

PASSING OF |NGERSOLL
A Sermon by the Rev. Edward
Oliver Tilburn.
TRUTH OF CHRISTIANITY
What the Great Agnostic Has Given to
the World-Ths Errors of Inger-
scotsman Able Sum-
mary.
TRUTH OF CHRISTIANITY

What / have written, 1 have writ
ten" were the words of the text chos-
en- from John xix, %, by the minister
CT the Church Of Christ. Rev. E. o. TIL
burn. for his discourse on the late
Robert G. Ingersoll last night. The
words were originally spoken by Pom
titus PLATE, and addressed to the chief
priests when they came to him with
the request that he would change the
words of the accusation that he had
placed above the head of Jesus at the
time Of His crucifiXion. The words
were: Jesus of Nazareth, the King of
the Jews" and to this statement the
priests objected But PLATE refused to
make any change, and the words used
by him in this refusal We're selected by
the preacher as the base of his sermon.
After commenting upon the truth
contained in these words of the Roman
governor, pointing to the circumstance
that the Jews had rejected their spir-
itual king, and that the record of
heather ruler stood to condemn them
through the ages. the speaker went on
to say:
The life Of man may be compared
to book that is being written. The
chapters may stand for years. The
paragraphs, for the distinctive purpose
of the years. The sentences for the
events of the days that make the
years. Here are the words that make
the sentences. the expression of the
thoughts of the days. The punctua-
ton marks are the emotions that give
sense to the words.
I'VE write our books as we live our
days; and what we have written, we
have written. 1t is written beyond re-
call, AS our hands have traced the
lines, so they remain. AS the world
reads by sentences we fain. would say
Read it not in that sense, l did not
mean this or that; say / meant virtue
instead of dishonor, truth rather than
falsehood, a noble purpose instead of
disgraceful action but the reader finds
only what is written, and few read be-
tween the lines to find an inference
that contradicts fact.
Robert G. Ingersoll has written a
book. The chapters number SO and
reveal many incidents There is the
incident of loving heart and a happy
home life. There is the revelation of
an honest purpose in his business life.
Chapters are filled with the record of
a genial and companionable social ex-
perience; others command attention
from an intellectual viewpoint. In the
book of his life we read that he was a
soldier, a statesman, a friend to the
needy. We are led to admire as we
rapidly scan the pages. He was a
man worth knowing, says the cursory
reader.
But we read closer; from out of the
chapters we select the paragraphs that

A WALK MUCH NEEDED
The Best Improvement Walker
vile Could Make.
IT'S A SEA OF MUD NOW
No Time Should Be Lost in Grading
West Daily street-A Very Small
Amount of Money Would
Do the Work.

There is an excellent opportunity for
the city council of Walkeryille TO make
an Improvement for which the citizens
up that way would ever be thankful,
street car or no street car
The proposition of building board
walk from the Masonic building in
VAUDEVILLE to the end of the Center
Vile sidewalk at the Blaine school
house has been agtated by the citizens
and the city council. 1t has heretofore
been argued that the treasury of Walk.
erville would not stand the expense
that would necessarily be incurred by
such AN enterprise. Now that the city
Is out Of debt and has a thousand or
more to the good, the agitation is re-
newed with added emphasis.
1t is argued that now Is the time TO
lay the walk. The weather is favorable
for such an undertaking. The money
is to be had and the walk is needed. In
wet weather one must plod through
mud from the Blaine school house over
the Lexington hill and down to the Ma
sonic hall before "a sidewalk is reached.
The old cable trestles and ties afford
an excuse for dry walk, but that
route is not generally taken by persons
who want to enter the city by Main
street. The natural and convenient en-
trance to the city is by the Lexington
mine route. This is the traffic way.
Besides the old cable way is over pri-
waite property and may at any time be
closed to traffic.
It is estimated that on an average 700
pedestrians pass the Lexington mine
every day. Hundreds of ladies and
children walk to and from Centerville,
the terminus of the street car line. 1t
is safe to say that the road over the
Lexington hill is muddy or otherwise
dsagreeably navigable $50 days of the
year.
! IF the council would put in this walk
1T would be the best Improvement made
by it in years." said a Walkerville citt-
zen yesterday.
In this conclusion the gentleman
found agreement in the man who sup
plemented the declaration with: Yes,
and after the walk is laid the council
should lose no time in grading West
Daily street SO that it would mo longer
be the mud pool that it is" This part
of DAILY street referred to could be rem
edied with a comparatively small out
lay of money. IT should be graded down,
or dug out. AS it is it is a kind of ele-
! waited basin which catches a certain
amount of drainage water from above
the street and from roofs and porches.
The soil or clay is of a non porous CHAR
acter, and once the water finds Its way
there, it stays until it becomes huge
pot of dsease-breeding mush.
lit was proposed some weeks since to
macadamize that part of Daily and
half block of Main from the point
where it converges with the former
| That plan, however, has evidently
caved in, and probably the streets will
not be treated in this manner. A hum
dred or so wagon loads, of gravel spread
| upon Main street, 1t is argued, would
| prove to be a good thing.

TORPEY TAKING A REST
Why the Officer is Not on His
Usual Beat.
AN ENFORCED VACATION
Torpey Did Not Like His Beat and
Turned in His Tools-Suspended
for 80 Days-A Nice Ques-
ton Involved.

The graceful though somewhat cor
pulent figure of Police Officer M. r.
Torpey has been missing from the
streets for some days and people who
have been accustomed to seeing the
well-known blue uniform encasing the
big officer, almost daily for year or
two back as he posed on some one of
the principal corners for the inspection
of an admiring throng. have been Won
dering what has become of the Argus
eyed guardian of the peace. Officer
Torpey was always so conspicuous that
his absence from his accustomed post
of duty has given rise to many and
varied conjectures as to why he is no
longer in evidence. One theory quite
frequently advanced is that he must
have gotten his feet wet again and
been laid up, but those VINO have had
this idea have got another guess. OFF,
Ger Torpey has not had wet feet for a
long time. Others have thought he
might have gone to the Bitter Root
to start a chicken ranch and still 9TH
ers of Officer Torpey's friends and adj
mirers have come to the conclusion
that the weight of responsibility rest
ing upon him has made 1t necessary
that he take much-needed rest.
These also have another guess, but the
latter are partially correct. Officer
Torpy is taking a rest from the cares
and responsibilities of office.
How it came about has been kept so
secret that it is no wonder Officer Tor
pey's friends could not account for his
absence from the force. The facts are
that Mr.. Torpey felt he was not al
lowed as much voice as he was EMIT ed
to in the management of the police de-
partment. The result was clash be-
tween himself and the head of the force
and officer Torpey is as consequence
taking rest.
Officer Torpey has a well known lik-
ing for uptown beats, preferably the
Main and Broadway or Main and Park
street corners. Once upon a time the
business men, or some of them, on the
Main and Park street beat, signed a
petition asking that Mr. Torpey be kept
| on that beat permanently. Some of the
officers maligners Were unkind enough
to say he circulated the petition him
self, but the report was attributed to
| jealousy in the force. However, Off
Ger Torpey likes an uptown beat, so
when he found on the last change day
he was assigned to beat 10, South Main
street. below Silver, he was not at all
pleased. 1t so happened that night
| that he was late coming on shift and
all the other officers had signed and
gone. One officer was sick and not
| working and that left two blanks on
the roll. They were opposite beats 13
| and IA, so Officer Torpey signed for
beat IA and went out. Later in the
evening Sergeant McGrath discovered
| Officer Torpey was working beat IA in
stead of his own, and went and in

ton. He also stated that the church
laughs at good works and resorts to
falsehood and SANDER. But he offered
no proof He has dug into the depths
of antiquity to fiiNd mire to fling at the
walls of truth in the 10Th century. He
has claimed to be lover of humanity,
and yet has failed to take the time to
secure substantial evidence to estab-
fish the truth of statements intended
to destroy the faith of men in the God
from whom all blessings flow, and for
which he offered nothing to replace it.
He has discovered the errors of the
church in the dark ages, but has new

been unjust, unfair and one-sided. The

potism is not Christianity. Christian
ity is love for God. leading to love for
man, and proven by good works; and
the man who opposes this is no lover
of mankind nor a friend to humanity"
Concluding, the speaker referred to
the last words of the agnostic. His re-
ply to his wife when she asked him
concerning his feelings was the last
sentence he uttered. "Oh, BETTER

rs it better for him." Intercepted
the minister. rs the world better be-

his passing away?
The end has come; the book is writ

the passing of Ingersoll write what he
could not write-the end of life. A
life that gained nothing for itself and
gave nothing to humanity of a sub

AS to the future of the soul, the
speaker read from Rev. xx., 12-15, and
I. Cor. XIV, 24-2S.
