The S%pOrtsmen's show.

The tens Of thousands of people Of this
city and neighborhood who lately have
crowded into the Madison Square Garden
to the show that is going on there have
borne eloquent testimony to the new grip
with which outdoor sports have taken hold
of folks. Nobody goes because it is the
fashion to go, or to see the fashion that has
gone there. The crowds waste no time
hunting for people notable in society
as at horse shows and dog shows,
Few are attracted by the craftsmanship
contests, or the swimming races or the
water polo games alone or the rather
puerile demonstration OF a canvas-clad
hunter shooting at dead ducks with blank
cartridges which takes place in the garden
every night. People GO because the things
to be seen, from the fish hatcheries to the
Indian encampments, in some degree or
other pertain to outdoor life. in which they
have a genuine interest.
The exhibition this year has been more sue
~cessful, from the gatekecpcr's point Of view,
than that Of last year Before last year
the sportsmcn's shows were little more than
trade shows. frequented only by manufact-
urers OF sporting goods. retail dealers and
a few fanatics who love a gun or a rod for
its construction and its finish rather than
for its value for the field.
Every day finds the Madison Square Gar
den filled with u greater crowd than can
move about 1t in comfort, the faces each
day being different from the faces of the
day before. The outdoor life has taken hold
on the habits OF the thousands and on the
imaginations OF the tens Of thousands.

THE NEW ELECTRIC LINE
is DOING MORE BUSINESS THAN WAS
ANTICIPATED.
Theaters-Other Lines That
Are Projected.

Officers of the Indianapolis. Greenwood &
Franklin Railroad Company say that the
business of the electric line is much ahead
of what they supposed 1t would be when
they built the road. Although the cars
have been running into indianapolis but
a short time the business thus far is an
indication that the undertaking will be a
success; and 1t also shows what is posi-
BILE in the way of electric suburban roads.
Within the next year other suburban
fines will probably be running into the city.
The Indianapolis & Logansport Company is
taking steps looking to the construction of
its line and the Union Traction Company
promises to have cars entering the city
from Anderson, Muncie and other gas belt
cities within few months. Di
The promoters of the road which is to be
constructed between this city and Green
ton of the road
The cars on the Indianapolis Greenwood
g. Franklin road now run once an hour.
At present the cars run between this city
and Greenwood but the company expects
to extend the line to Franklin in the spring
The distance from Greenwood to Indian
apolis is about twelve miles and the cars
now make the trip in forty-five minutes.
c. f. Coffin one of the officers of the COM
pany, says that as soon as the road has
been properly ballasted the running time
will be reduced to thirty-five minutes. The
cars arrive in this city every hour up to
10 or IL o'clock at night, and the last car
leaves the city for Greenwood at IL D. m.
Already people living in Greenwood and at
points between that place and this city
have begun to take advantage of the OPP
portunity to visit the theaters and last Sat
urday nights cars were crowded coming
and going. The cars stop at almost any
place where a passenger is to be had A
-hour-line' is one of the possibilities
of the near future, the officers say.

TAXING TRUST COMPANIES
Movement to Put Them Same
Footing as Banks.

FOOtlnS uB DumkSs
New York Financier.
1t begins to look as though the struggle
of the New York State Bankers Associa-
ton for an equitable distribution of taxa
ton between banks and trust companies
was about to bear fruit There is no "war
waging in connection with the controversy.
as the daily press delights TO announce,
but there Is a deep-seated determination
to see that justice is done. If Legitimate
arguments and presentation of facts can
accomplish the result. The State Senate
committee on taxation has been considering
the matter for some time. and within n few
days will recommend bill which II IL
thought will adjust the question satisfac-
torily. The details of this measure are very
simple. Ii is proposed TO impose a uniform
tax the capital, surplus and profits OF
banks and trust companies alike. OF
course no definite percentage can be estab-
lished in advance, but that is n point which
can be adjusted later. 1t was reported last
week that the taxation recommended
might reach 1 per cent on each 500. but
President Charles Adsit. of the State Bank
ers Association, Is OF opinion that more
moderate rate may be agreed upon. In
Pennsylvania financial institutions pay a
tax of about four mills on the dollar The
amount. of the tax TO be paid. however. Is
inconsequential, compared with the prin-
ciple involved In the new plan of taxation.
Heretofore trust companies. transacting
for the most part a business identical with
that OF the banks, have virtually escaped
taxation. The discrimination has not only
been unjust--it has led 10 a rapid multiple
cation of financial institutions encourag ed
to begin business by the favors enjoyed
under liberal State privilege. This latter
fact has brought many trust company off,
GERS 10 a realization that injustice in taxa
ton works evils in more ways than one.
and while additional taxation may not be
pleasant, IL will be accepted with less oppo-
sition than otherwise would be displayed
There is also strong likelihood that logis-
lation will be enacted in Albany compelling
trust companies To maintain an adequate
reserve against deposits. One or two
measures TO this end have already been
introduced in the Legislature.

THE DEVIL is DISCUSSED
In a sermon by Rev. c. C., Rowlison,
of Third Christian Church.

AT the Third Christian Church last night
the pastor, Rev. Carlos @. Rowlison,
preached to a large audience on the history
of the doctrine of the devil. The pastor
said that In primitive days the forces of
nature were personified-were either op-
posed to or were favorable to men. In
.polytheism we find good and evil deities.
In all heather religions Ia large part of the
ritual consists of forms that are supposed
to placate the wrath of angry deities.
when we come to the study of Judaism"
continued the pastor, 1--WE find that they
believed in a God who sent both good and
evil. God rewarded them for doing right
eously and punished them when they
sinned. All the great religious leaders of
Israel believed there was only God,
though the deities Of the nations around
them were often spoken of as false gods
thus giving them as real an existence
that of Jehovah. These false gods. however,
were often spoken Of as princes of the
powers of darkness, and SO Beelzebub and
Moloch are often spoken of as If they are
Babylonian captivity of the Jews, the be-
lief in a prince Of the devils with his
medating servants, came to be prevalent,
as also the belief in angels as the repre-
sentativeS of the good deity. So that, at
the time of Christ, 1T was prevalent be-
lief shat these inferior devils could leave
theM natural habitation and enter into a
man or an animal, and such were said to
be possessed Of the devil. Lunacy, epilepsy,
paralysis and many other diseases, not at
all understood in those .imes, were as
cribed to such possession, just as in New
England few centuries ago people be-
lieved an evil spirit entered into certain
women and made them witches

causes to-day makes it impossible for us
to believe In witches or that devils coming

reality of the existence of the devil was
very vivid in the middle ages. He was a
constant personal presence to Luther, so
much so that he hurled an inkstand at him.
But none of us any more believe that there
Is person who comes to us and leads us
to sin, but with James we believe that
when a man sins he is drawn away by his
own lust and enticed. No man can any
longer put the responsibility of his evil
deeds upon the devil. He is personally re-
sponsible to God"

A series of revival meetings, which the

Mr. Tinsleys sermon last night was
Problems of Life That Trouble U.s." For
his text he read a sentence from the story
of BelshaZZar's vision in the fifth chapter
or Daniel: Then the kings countenance
changed and his thoughts troubled
him." In part the minister said:
'Belshazzar was not the first, nor has
he been the last man whose thoughts have
troubled him. This is a common expert
ence. There is not pauper in all the
world, nor any prince of the earth to-day
who could not shake hands with this man
Belshazzar and understand what is meant
when this is said of him. We only want
TO know, indeed, that a man thinks, that
he thinks at all, In order TO know that at
some time the current of his thoughts is
disturbed. There are some who find the
cause of disturbance and remove 1t and
are never seriously troubled any more.
There are others. however, who are dis
turbed until their death, and go through
life with disturbed, uneasy, restless think
ing"
QUESTION OF A GOD.
Mr.. Tinsley named as the chief vexing
thought or problem the question of whether
or not there is God. "It matters little
what man thinks" he said, whether
he thinks there is a God or whether he
thinks there is no God; whether ne thinks
there is one God or many Gods. it is a fact
that he thinks on this subject some time.
All men think OF God-can't get away from
the thought-and this thought troubles
many Ii troubles all until the question is
settled. Sometimes he is troubled by

Catholic Services.

In all the Catholic churches
designated by Pope Leo XIII a few
years ago. the feast of the holy family
was celebrated yesterday, the third Sunday
after Epiphany. The beautiful weather
mentioned by Father Gavisk in his sermon
at the high mass seemed to have the effect
of drawing out an extra large attendance
at the last mass of ST. Johns Church.
''The Holy Family was the basis for
sermon to St Johns parishioners by
Father Gavisk. He said that he would like
10 see the old fashioned custom of even
ing family prayer more generally prac-
ticed ard that he would like to have pa
rents bring their children TO mass. He
spoke of the prevalence of family quar-
rels and how sometimes chidrenNeft their
homes on account of the want of peace in
them; how parents should be very careful
of the example set by them.
