THE ENDLESS CHAIN.
The Indiana plan.

New York Sun.
To the Editor OF the Sun-Sir: The
Indiana temperance women's political
prayer chain does not appear to be
built on the Biblical formula OF prayer.
The formula given by our Lord Is,
.Thy will be DONE" The Indiana wo-
men say, Our will be done. CT course
that yitiates the entire chain at every
link.
Then again they go wrong in assum-
ing that President Mckinley is a bad
man: so bad that the Lord ought TO
displace him. That is matter OF opin-
ion. Millions of our nation don
think SO. and possibly the LORD does
not think so. Prayers based on an as
sumption of that sort will break their
chain all to pieces.
Then again they seem TO depend for
results on the quantity of prayer, ana
that is a false basis. It is not quantity,
but quality that gives efficacy TO pray
er. We have a case in hand in the
Bible. A great cloud of prayer went
uD On One SiQC, MfAti NAiSo ~sAAe -. .
but no fire came down. Then on the
other side one old Republican prophet
stood up and asked God TO vindieate
himself. And he did so. The nre
came down and burned up the whole
business, the crowd of false prayers and
ALL
But the worst feature of this foolish
proposition is that ii is not sincere.
The blind in one eye can see that the
chain is designed to connect with Bry-
an. If this thing is honest why did not
these praying women attach chain TO
Mr.. Mckinley months ago. and so con-
vert him into the better man they
want? The divine way is to convert,
not to cast off. So they would cus on
| the soldier boys from their beer and
turn them over to the whisky saloons
outside of their camps long ago. Now,
| if their chain should work, it will be
half year before it could take effect.
unless the Lord should kill Mr.. Mckin-
ley, and then we do not know that the
| Vice President is better man" than
| the President.
Seriously. this proposition of the
| temperance women of Indiana brings
into ridicule and disrepute one OF the
! sweetest exercises of the human soul.

srAxpING OF CLUBS.

The cripples took fall out of the
wanderers yesterday, after the latter
had made what threatened to be a
heart-breaking finish. 1t was lovely
billiards in the ninth, with Marion
playing two or no count, and it was
only by the steadiest kind of steady
work that they were prevented from
chalking up the Odd run to their
credit. Then it was nip and tuck for
two innings, with slight shade the

ALLEN UPWARD
WHO rs ALLEN UPWARD I?

Mr.. Allen Upward is a barrister
who enjoyed considerable prac-
tice on the South Wales Circuit
before he was drawn by the unex-
pected success of his nrst story,
The Queen Against Owen" into
devotlng himself seriously to lit
erature. AS student his career
was distinguished, he having car
ried off the highest prizes at both
the English and Irish bars, to
both of which he has been called.
The first book that brought rim
into prominence was The Prince
OF Balk4stan," and this led the way
TO the Secrets OF the Courts OF
Europe which have been translat-
ed into various European lam
guages and bid fair to go round
the world When the war broke
out between Greece and Turkey,
Mr.. Allen Upward formed one Of
.the little band Of English volun-
teers who fought on the side of
Greece. He was the only English
man TO run the blockade of Cret,
WulCu ue uiu NlInlu d lew udyS
after it had been proclaimed by
the Powers. He penetrated the
zone of warships in a small steam
er, landed cargo of bread for
the insurgents, and returned in
safety to Athens, after some hair
breadth escapes from detection by
the searchlights. Soon after he
went up to Arta, where he arrived
just in time to take part in the
first battles of the war.
AS a novelist he has secured
many successes. He knows the
kind of story which the public ap-
preciate, and THE ORDEAL OF
FIRE" will further strengthen
his reputation.

To the Editor of the Sun-Sir: The
endless chain of prayer by the w c. t.
u. reveals a most deplorable condition
of affairs In that organization. They
start out by trying to foist upon the
Almighty a false statement regarding
Mr. Mckinley, totally ignoring the fact
that he who is all wise can judge per-
haps better than they as to such mat
tiers; they set up their own weak, hui
man judgment as perfect and then prac-
tically tell the Lord that He must con-
form to the same.
When my mother taught me to pray
she cautioned me as to what to pray for
and always impressed upon me never
to assume that anything was right just
because | thought so, and always TO
accompany my petitions with Thy
will, not mine, be done, etc. But all
this is apparently out of date now, nd
the good Lord, who has taken such
wonderful care of this great nation, Is
now told that the matter is to be taken
out of His hands; that the Indiana w.
c. r. U. proposes to run the affair from
their own standpoint.

II the press dispatches tell the truth,
the Indiana w. c. I. u, in order to
punish Mr. Mckinley for his "canteen
decision" have established a "Presi-
Dental prayer chain each member
pledging herself and two other women,
who will In turn secure four others,
etc, to pray continually until election
day for his defeat. Each pledges her
self to pray to the Heavenly Father
that He will give the United States a
better man tor President. who will be

This must mean Woolley. as none of
the other candidates would fill the bill.
AS an encouragement the verse of
Scripture is quoted "If two of you
shall agree on earth as touching any
thing that they shall ask. it shall be
done for them of my Father which Is

COURT HOUSE SOLD
To Charles Miller, But He Backed
Down.

At one o'clock Tuesday pursuant to
advertisement, the County Commits
sioners offered the old Court House
building for sale.
Auditor Patterson read the adver-
tisement, and Commissioner Randolph
performed the duties of auctioneer
Quite crowd assembled at the door of
the old structure, and it was thought
that there would be some competition
and spirit in the bidding. However,
hope gave way to disappointment in
this regard, for when the conditions
were made known, no one seemed an
xious for the property. In his prelim-
mary statement, Mr.. Randolph gave
notice that the old bell, metal doors
pipe, etc, were to be reserved and that
the building was to he sold only down
to The foundation,
How much am | offered?" asked
Mr. Randolph, and he repeated the
question a dozen times. Finally Mr..
Charles Miller. of Muskingum, bid S25,
Just to startit," as he stated after
ward. But this was the only bid, and
in consequence the property was
"knocked down" to Mr. Miller. Later
Mr.. Miller held a consultation with the
! Commissioners, and asked to be re-
| leased, which request was granted. Mr.
Randolph then offered the building
again. but there were no bidders. The
iron fence around the building was Of
fered and the bidding started at S.
Competition was lively and the highes
bidder was Mr.. Henry Wittekind, o.
Warren township. who received tht
fence for the sum of fifty-siX dollars
It is about three hundred feet il
length, and Mr.. Wttekind will remOv,
1t to his farm.
The County Commissioners viii
now offer the building at private sale
and it is probable that they will re
ceive a proposition from one or more
gentlemen this morning.
