NAMING THE APOSTLES.
Story Told of the Participants at
WASHINGTON Dinner Party.

Story Told OF the Participants at a
Washington Dinner Party.
After a dinner in one of the most
hospitable residences in Washington,
party of very distinguished men
Cabinet Ministers, Senator's dlplo-
mats, scientists and soldiers sat in the
smoking room, and the conversation
naturally drifted from politics to the
proposed revision of the creed of the
Presbyterian Church. Much to the
surprise Of each other and to them
selves. perhaps, no one of the party
was able to name the Five Points of
Calvinism," upon which the theologic-
al system of so large "A community is
based. Several undertook rather
rashly to explain for their less learned
companions what Calyinism meant,
and Justice of the Supreme Court
was able to name four points Of Cal
yinism TO his own satisfaction, al
though his accuracy was questioned
by others and he could not remember
the fifth. His four points were:
l. Original sin or total deprayity
2. The freedom of the Will.
g. Predestination or election
Then somebody remarked that he
once sat in the Union League Club at
New York, with Roscoe Conkling,
Chester A. Arthur and several other
distinguished gentlemen who had been
carefully educated In religious fami'
lies, and that none of them was able to
name the twelve Apostles

Bond was given in the sum Of $500 by
the petitioners, who are backed up by
the Federation of Churches and several
prominent citizens.
It was announced in the Sunday pa
pers that the Wheeling and Fort
Wayne clubs would play the game
scheduled yesterday on the grounds
just beyond Fulton, and a large crowd
was attracted there by the announce
ment. The game, however, was not
played. 1t is said one of the trustees OF
the property, which is owned by the
Thompson estate, intimated to the
ball club that the game could not be
played on the grounds. The ball club
people stated that the game was not
played for the reason that they did not
care to prejudice their case before the
criminal court grand Jury, which
meets to-day, by playing a game which
might be construed as violation of
Judge Melvin's injunction.
Interest is general in the action the
grand jury viii take in the base ball
cases.
