MISPLACED SYMPATHY.
Argument I'm Favor Of the English ms
Against Kruger and His Allies.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
I have noticed with surprise a continued
assumption on the part of public writers
and public men generally to the effect that
the Beers are fighting for their liberty
and independence. That the Boer leaders
are seeking independence cannot be
doubted or questioned by any intelligent
person, and that they engaged in the war
against England for a certain liberty Is
equally evident. But IL am correctly in
formed the independence and liberty they
seek to secure is an independence which
will give them liberty to tyrannize over all
foreigners. I. e., all residents of their re-
public who are not Beers. And this, too,
after having for years sought and invited
immigration to their dominion. giving re-
peated solemn public assurance of liberal
treatment to all who would come and help
develop the rich resources which Mr.
Kruger and his associate officials repre-
scented were awaiting development But
when this effort had succeeded in bring
ing in a large number of people, a large
proportion of whom were English, Mr.
Kruger and his associate Office holders be-
gan system of Withholding of that liberal
treatment promised. This led to clamor
and conflict and to repeated appeals on the
part OF English subjects TO their govern
ment, which finally resulted in her Males
tvs government securing promise of re-
forms. including the franchise to the
uitlanders. and IL was the demand of her
Majestys government that these promises.
especially the one pertaining to the fran
chise. should be honestly fulfilled that
caused the Beers to inaugurate the war
by invasion OF her Majesty's Natal terri
tory.
1t is, no doubt, true that avarice had a
considerable Influence in exciting clamor
and in urging her Majesty's government to
intercede and to persist in demanding the
reforms promised. But what great interest
is free from the influence of those whose
chief concern is to secure the loaves and
fishes? What. but the fact Of the pres
ence OF loaves and fishes and the appeal
of President Kruger to come and possess
them, would have taken so many English

IDEAL WOMANHOOD.



The large auditorium at st. Paul's Epis-
copal Church was we'll filled yesterday
morning by those who were anxious to
hear the sermon of Rev. Lewis Brown,
which was the second of a series on 1.-THE
Ideal Woman" The music was especially
good. Rev. Mr.. Brown took for his text
I Corinthians ii, IL, ''The woman is the
glory of the man." His subject was
Ideal Womanhood." In part he said:

the canvas said, What, another Madonna p

womanhood Is an exhaustless theme To
set before you to-day few of the traits
embodied in the subject is a great privilege.
II our efforts place in higher form our
sister woman our words are not in vain.
At the outset we place the element of tact.
An ideal woman Is one who never forgets
to be gracious In act and converse. She
secures her end not by stress but by cour-
tesy. 1t is a pleasure to execute her wishes
because she appeals to the best In man.
Coupled with this trait is its fit companion,
cheerfulness Steele said of Lady Hastings
that to know her was an instant check to
loose behavior and to love her was a liberal
education

fury smiles. Self-sacrifice has Its part
In this portraiture 1t is exemplified so often
that 1t needs little emphasis. When the
heroism of this world Is written upon the
imperishable tablets of eternity then the
self-abnegation of womankind will have
letters of gold. Faith is the consummate
element I'm woman's character. We need
not fear every foe that can be martialed
upon the side of unbelief II wo-
man remain true to her heri-
tage In Christ. The noblest poetry,
the grandest fiction, the most beautiful
periods of sage and bard are radiant with
this truth. Coleridge said daring thing
when he exclaimed God could not be every
where and so he made mothers With
such a conception before us let us grant the
sex every sphere for duty, and every ave-
nue. for unending praise. To wear the crown
as queen because of inherent worthiness
is to purchase glory here and everlasting

HEAVEN AND HE'LL.
Sermon by Rev. Marion CrosIey, of the
Central UniversaIist Church.

Rev. Marion Crosley. pastor of the Gen.
trail Universalist Church. corner of New
Jersey and Fifteenth streets, preached last
night on the omnipresence of God. taking
his text from Psalms cxxxix, verses 10 to 16.
inclusive. He said in part: There was
a time when people imagined heaven to be
a large arch. They did not consider 1t
as we do now. as a place of everlasting
life, where all is good. They looked upon
the sun as vast ball of fire and the moon
and stars as only ornaments for the arch.
We look upon heaven differently. The
psalmist when he wrote the verses knew
that God was everywhere; either in the
lowest depths of hell, in all the corners
Of heaven, no matter where man may go,
God is present and exerting his influence.
Language may have two meanings for the
word heaven, but we know that as long
as we are doing right we are filled with
a spirit of exultance which is heaven it
self. Then after death, If our lives have
been good and pure, we go to place OF
light that is surrounded with the glories
of God and His angels. In the book of
Genesis we have our first record of Gods
creation: God created the heavens and the
earth He'll is separated into parts accord
ing TO the conduct of man. If man has
been real bad he finds his abode in the low
est depths OF hell. Men are punished ac-
cording to their evildoings. When he read
of Jacob going after his son David in
the lowest pits of hell, must we surmise
that Jacob went down to that eternal hole
Of punishment that we read Of? No. He
went to the surroundings which were about
his son and which he thought were hell
in themselves. Now We must bear in mind
those things and when we do good we
are exalted in spirit, which is only a be-
ginning of our ultimate salvation when we
are prepared for the grave. If we are bad
nIlniShpd
persist in our evil ways then we are sure
to fill n place in the lowest pit of hell.
If we should reach such an end we can
always find the welcome hand of God there
TO help us If we only ask for 1t. But some
Of us are negligent and do not ask soon
enough while here on earth and are COM
PEELED to feel of the tortures of hell. We
should never despair of the mercy of God.
for if we only ask His mercy for one sin
our strength becomes a might with the
help of Gods grace and we are so strength
ened that when temptation is again at cur
soul We have only to appeal to God and
we are saved"

CLASS OF EIGHT CONFIRMED.
Bishop Francis's Brief Sermon 1t St.
Davfd's Church.

At St Dayid's Church last night Bishop
Francis conducted confirmation service,
q class of eight being taken into the church
Relieving the rites of confirmation the
bishop addressed the class very briefly on
the real meaning of confirmation. He said In
part: unfortunately for all of us. we
think it a very easy matter for US, after
once giving ourselves to Jesus Christ, to
remain true to the faith and we go forth
from the confirmation believing that there
is nothing further to be done We believe
that we have forever broken the shackels
of sin and turn with bouyant anticipations
to the future.
"But by and by the spirit OF old associa-
tons grows upon US and We yield to it
more and more until finally we fall 1t is
these constant falls that lead many to
believe that there is very little strength In
the divine grace OF God, but IL we did not
believe there was such thing as the grace
OF God IN the world We would not tonight
be standing here in the temple of God. The
thought that / wish TO convey is that
though we receive the divine grace of
God yet that in itself will not work out
our salvation. There must be a certain
preparation. God sows His seed in every
human heart ready to receive IT. The full
gift of divine grace has been given to you
all alike TINS evening, ana the use OF IL de-
ponds upon you. AS we look around us in
this world we see that the seed of divine
grace has not grown in many places as II
should. One man kneels and gives HIM
self fully TO God. doing the things He would
have him do. Another kneels beside him
and goes away with his heart unchanged.
IL Il because God has bestowed his divine
grace to the one in its fuliness and TO the
other in part? No. IL is because the seed
in the one case had fallen upon prepared
ground while in the other the ground was
hard and stony.
Baptism will do you no good unless you
receive It In the proper spirit This con-
firmation has not changed you In the least
You will go out into the world tonight to
meet the same old temptations. Without
effort on your part this confirmation is bus

But If we realize that the divine life has

IL then shall we be blessed indeed II you
faithfully do what you have promised

Christ has given you, you will find this to

CARE OF A POLISHED TABLE.
A Little Immediate Attention A1'ei
Meals VIII Keep 1t In Good
Condition.

There are many housekeepers pos.
sessing polished tables who do not know
how to keep them looking well; in fact
who soon spoil the looks of the shining
polished table top by careless or ignor'
ant use.
1t is a simple matter to keep such
tables not only looking as well as when
purchased, but to increase the brillian.
cy of the polish. After each meal the
table should be wiped with damp
cloth to remove all suspicion of foreign
matter of any kind. Sometimes liquids
will get spilled, and in spite Of silence
cloth this may seep through upon the
table. 1t is well, then, always to wipe
the table top with damp cloth and
then with a clean flannel cloth rub
brislzly for a moment with olive oil.
Such treatment will keep the table IN
tact, and if this is continued for years
the polish will increase and the beauty
and worth of the table be enhanced
rather than detracted from.
There is one thing which will spoil
the prettiest oak table that evereXist.
ed. This is the setting Of hot dishes
upon it. The heat draws out the oil and
makes the grain of the wood show ur
coarsely. Maybe you have noticed GER
tain places upon your table top pthat do
look coarse and rough. This, IN al
probability, has been caused by the use
of too hot dishes.
Sometimes the suns heat, if this falls
upon the table for hours at time daily,
will cause such an appearance. 1he
only remedy L know is the regular ap-
nlication of oil and hand rubbing. L.
the table is never allowed TO become
defaced-that is, properly cared for
from the frst-such disfguration need
never take place.
OF course, this treatment does not ap-
ply to vanished furniture, but to that
which is finished with what is called
"hand-rubbed" polish.-What To Eat.

A Strange Gravestone.

Up till the present time it seems
that the bicycle has only figured once
in a sculptured memorial of the dead,
and to a young Rio widow belongs the
credit of having originated the idea in
this instance. She was introduced to
her late husband while out wheeling,
and, therefore, when death put an end
to her marriage, she thought it suit
able to introduce the cycle in her hus-
band's memorial. She accordingly de-
sired the sculptor to depict her first
meeting with her husband, bicycles
and all, and herself in rational"
dress, in alto relieve on the marble
gravestone. The effect is said not to
be exactly artistic.-Undertakers' Re
