Must Maintain Rates.

Last week renewed instructions were Is
sued TO freight officials of all roads and
fast freight lines TO the effect that after
Nov. IL tariff rates must be absolutely
maintained. While rates have been fairly
well maintained since July 1, as result of
the June agreement of the presidents of
the trunk lines. the Central Traffic AS
ISOLATION and the Western Freight Asso-
citation, there has been more or less of rate
cutting on grain and its products and
packing house products, and in some cases
reaching to other classes of freights.
Now all this is to be righted after this
June agreement, the observance of which
at future date has been announced and
reannounced dozen or so times is given
actual and absolute observance. and the
date for that is set for the beginning of
this week. Generally agreements are made
in this instance the 18th was made the date
for rate cutting TO cease. On packing
house products il the particular inten-
ton of the presidents announced in
June and reiterated time and again, to in
sist upon their moving at the tariff rates
and there has at all times since July l
been a pretense at least of making no cut
whatever the tariff between the Miss
ouri and Mississippi rivers. There has
tween the Mississippi and Chicago or Chi
cago junction points and also east there
of, so that the only lines that have ever
been paid full tariff rates on packing
house products for export have been those
west of the Mississippi.

its purity, but the present style of litera-
ture the country Is receiving is particu-
larry bad.
Crime is also on the increase in France,
and Mr.. D'Aubigne asserts that at the
present time there are twice as many
criminals under the age of twenty years
there are among older people. Mr..
DAubigne has not a high opinion of the
Roman Catholic Church OF France. He
says the church has so developed as TO
drive away from ii many people who have
a sincere desire to worship God. About
eighty priests, he says, have left the Cath
Ollie Church in the last twenty years. and
the peasants are rapidly leaving. The great
mass of Roman Catholics IN France know
but two things of Christ-that He was
born of the Virgin Mary and died or the
cross. The Bible is not well-known book
among the Catholics of France, and the
Huguenot pastor intimates that the priests
have been known TO get this book out OF
the way of their parishioners TO prevent
them from reading IL, knowing that after
they have read the word of God they may
disassociate themselves from the church.
However, Mr.. D'Aubigne says, there are
many signs at present that indicate that
the people are looking UP TO something
better than they have had for years. Mr..
D'Aubigne, in closing his remarks, de-
clared that France is not a dying nation,
and he believes that the country has
great future. He made an eloquent appeal
in behalf of his people, and asked for aid
in the cause he represents. The collection
at the close of the service was for the benz
eft of the Huguenot Church of France.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at Indianapolis in
the week ended Nov. IL a total of 25.3 39
cars, e,295 being loaded, an increase over
the week ending Nov 10 of 252 loaded cars,
but 1873 fewer than in the corresponding
week of 1899. The Indiana. Decatur &

more loaded cars at Indianapolis than in

lighter business is attributable chiefly TO
the car shortage. but partially to the or

connections to hold back freights until the
congestion at Buffalo AID Rotterdam juno
ton was relieved. Freight men are having
troublesome time. so pressing are calls
for cars, every description of cars being
in demand. The only relief from Eastern
lines is the cars returned from the Atlantic
seaboard. Fortunately, west-bound business
is heavy, shipments of merchandise as well
as of lower class freights being heavy.

The wholesale merchants are heavy ship

have the manufacturers in all lines shipped

Business would be still heavier could the
roads furnish cars. Freight men claim that
indianapolis shippers are treated better on
the car question than are shippers at most
points. With the better facilities in the

and more apparent, and the new and extern

AT HALL-PLACE CHURCH.
Rev. c. Fenwick Reed Is CONDUCTING
Revival Services.

Hymns of praise were sung in Hall-place
Methodist Church yesterday as they we're
never sung before, and rejoicing was un-
bounded over the conversion of fifty souls.
The day was the first of the second week
OF revival services conducted by Rev C.
Fenwick Reed. an evangelist The morn
ing service started with spirit. and soon,
in the language of the evangelist EVERY
body laid aside formality and enjoyed re-
ligion.' The meeting continued almost
throughout the entire day. There was only
a short intermission between the morn
ing and afternoon service. which was also
given over to unrestrained worship Some
did not leave the church in the afternoon,
staying there for the night service. At
night every seat in the auditorium and
two adjoining rooms, which We're thrown
into one, was taken. The evangelist began
early and preached late, yet few persons
left the church until the meeting was prac-
tically over. Altogether, IL was said, there
were fifty conversions during the day, max
ing total of seventy-two for the week.
Last night Evangelist Reed preached
about the objectionable sin. His text was
taken from Matthew xii, 90: He that is
not with me Is against me, and he that
gathereth not with me scattereth abroad"
The Rev. Mr.. Reed defined the pardon
able sin as meaning the putting off OF
Christ. He said the failure TO come TO the
altar when the spirit prompted often
grieved the spirit and caused il TO lose all
desire for christianity thereafter. This
was the essence of his whole sermon, and
he did not leave his text from the time
he began until he closed. His sermon vas
OF nature tina secured the closest at
tention from the audience, and caused
many to go to the altar when he finished
The Rev. Reeds meetings have been
marked by enthusiasm from the start.
There has been more .'old time religion"
manifested at his meetings than Is usually
seen.
II was announced the meetings would
probably close with last nights service
but the revival has been so successful that
Evangelist Reed will stay till Thursday
night. Services viii be held each day and
evening until that time. From here Rev.
Reed will so to Pennsylvania to conduct
u revival meeting.
