EDuAR r. NANGAssES
Where the shadow Of the mountain
Meets the sunshine OF the foun, ain,
Listen to these voices singing
And the message they are bringing:
SPIRIT OF THE SPRINGS:
Sister spirit OF the stream
Is it real or dream?
Faces in their color change,
Voices take a wider range
Natures emerald bosom shows
Charm and color OF the rose;
Tell me, spirit, is it true,
All things old give place to new?
SPRIroF rHK STEFAN:
Sister spirit OF the springs,
Fresher, clearer voices sing
OF whittier, later race
Taxing the swart Indians place
Art to Nature gives her hand;
Fashion waves her magic wand,
And the dangerous glamour cast
Wells the glory Of the past.
THE SPIRITS OF THE SPRINGS AND STREAM:
Whittier tepees crown our hills,
Sweeter lips now touch our rills;
Under Manitou's bright skies
Fairer faces meet our eyes;
And where crystal waters glide
Happy lovers blush and hide;
Dusky features fade away,
Saxon faces crown To Day.
SRIRTr rHE SPRINGS
Sister spirit OF the stream
II is real not dream
Echoes as from Eden wake
Music such as seraphs make
In each glen and through each rift
Where your shining waters drift;
While the song OF youth and maid
Crown each cool and shadowed glade.
SPIRIT or THE STREAM:
From the peak down which flow
With my water born Of snow,
To the valley lands that lie
Meath q warm and sunny sky,
All the air is full Of change,
Change as sweet as it is strange;
And my song forever chimes
To these later, happier times
Flash on fountain, roll on river,
Snow-crowned peak and sun kissed vale;
These are Natures gifts forever,
Until Natures self shall fail,

TO RETAIN REV. MILBURN
AN INFORMAL CONFERENCE AT THE
SECOND PRESBYTERIAN.
A Strong Effort VIII Be Made to Keep
Him in This City-Mr. Milburn
Refuses to Talk.

The dispatches received In this city from
Joseph Anthony Milburn has received
a call from Plymouth Congregational
Church of that city caused much surprise
among members of his congregation. Late
last evening the letter informing Mr. Mil
burn of the call had not been received by
him, but it is expected some time to-day.
After the prayer-meeting service last
night an informal discussion of the matter
was held, and the opinion was generally
expressed that strong effort will be made
to retain the pastor in his present pulpit
Several prominent members of the church
stated that no pains will be spared to &C
complish this purpose. The call coming
from church of such high rank as
Plymouth Church holds among the
churches of the country is especially APP
preciated by members of the Second Pres
byterian, and is recognized by them as a
strong compliment TO the ability of their
pastor. Rev. Mr.. Milburn came to In
dianapolis eleven years ago, at which time
he possessed but brief experience IN the
ministry, having followed his calling for
only three years at Fond du Lac, Wis.
During the time that Mr. Milburn has re-
sided here he has become widely known as
one or the strongest pulpit orators in the
west. While his fame has thus become
noted, his place in the esteem of his con-
gregation has enlarged, and the recent call
will meet with a determined effort for his
retention
At a meeting of the church officers after
the prayer meeting committee composed
or Judge Walker, DR.. Todd, Major Rich
ards and w. S. Fish was appointed to
draft the sentiment of the officers into a
suitable written resolution and present 1t
to Mr.. Milburn to-day. A call was also is
sued for congregational meeting to be
held at 7:30 o'clock tonight, to discuss the
matter and make further effort to prevail
upon the pastor to remain with the Second
Presbyterian.
When seen last night in regard to the
call Mr.. Milburn declined to give out
any statement for publication until il has
been formally presented to the church eld-
ers and the members of the congregation
Plymouth Church has been without a reg
ular pastor since Oct Of last year, when
the Rev: ]. Haynes resigned because OF
ill health.

THE FIT. WAYNE CHARTER
A HEARING BY THE COMMITTEES
ON CITIES AND TOWNS.
Arguments Made for and Against
Changes i'm the Present Charter
Decision Postponed.

A number Of prominent citizens OF Fort
Wayne appeared before both the Senate
and House committees on cities and towns
yesterday afternoon and made a strong
lobby both for and against the bills chang
ing the charter of Fort Wayne, fixing the
time of the election of the municipal off,
GERS and providing for the appointment
of a metropolitan police board for the city.
The arguments of both factions were forci-
bly, presented.
Those who favored the bills maintained
that the city of ForteRvayne at the present
time is absolutely under the control of the
saloon and gambling element, and that it
was absolutely imperative that the present
condition of affairs be changed. Each
speaker referred to the indignities that had
been heaped upon Roosevelt and Hanna
during visits there in the last campaign
did not interfere to prevent such distin-
guished visitors from being insdted, but
had actually encouraged the rabble. Those
who spoke in favor of the bills denied that
they had been presented in the interest
OF any politicians, and insisted that the
changes in the charter proposed in the bill
Among the friends of the bills who adj
dressed the committee yesterday were III.
G. Keegan, w. d. Page, John Norris, d.
N. Foster and others.
The opponents of the bills made a siren
uous plea for home rule, insisting that the
present charter was perfectly adequate and
no change was needed. They asserted that
the bills were drawn up for the express
benefit of a few politicians. One of the
speakers declared that the Republicans
were responsible for the present charter.
and they ought now to take their medicine.
A particularly strong plea was made by
some of the speakers against the amend
ment providing for reduction of the sal
airy of the mayor and other officials. One
of the amendments provides the time OF
election of the various municipal officers,
but specifies that there shall be no judge
of the municipal court elected until 1906.
The opponents of the bills urged that this
office would therefore have to be filled by
appointment by the Governor for the first
term, and those who had drawn the bill
had this object in view at the time. Those
who spoke in opposition to the bill were
William Wilson. III. A. Rogers. ]. c. Work.
man and w. H. Schambaugh, city attorney.
Ex-Mayor Oakley who is strongly OPP
posing the bills, present at the meet
ing, and at its close presented petition
which he said had been signed by one hun
dred of the prominent citizens of Fort
Wayne opposing any change in the present
charter.
Owing to the absence Of Senator Kittin-
ger, chairman of the Senate committee on
cities and towns, action on the bill was
postponed until future meeting.

GIRLS AT BASKET BALL.
An Interesting Tie Game mt Butler
Gymnasium.

The two basket ball teams composed of
young women of Butler College engaged in
a fierce contest last night in the Butler Col
lege gymnasium. One of teams was made
up Of girls from the college residence, while
the other was composed of girls in the
town. Both teams had practiced hard since
Christmas and some remarkable work was
done at times. The town team had the ad-
vantage. as all of their players had played
last year, while the college players were
all new at the game this year. 1t Is intend
ed for the teams to play a series of five
games, this being the first, the winner Of
a majority of the games to be allowed to
hang their picture in the library.
The contest proved TO be the greatest
drawing card of the season, as the gym
nasium was packed with enthusiastic root
ers. AT times the roofing was deafening
Some generous young man had offered the
winners a five-pound box of candy, and the
teams gained supporters by promising to
divide the candy If they would cheer them
on to victory. To be on the safe side, all
cheered the team in the lead. The two
teams, as they chased the ball back and
forth across the floor. presented a pretty
sight. The college girls wore bright red
and white sweaters, while the town girls
seys.
At the end of the first half the college
team was in the lead. the score standing 6
to 4. Many fouls were called on both sides.
The college team also showed the better
team work, although less experienced at
the game At the beginning of the second
half the town girls showed new life and Sc
cured a lead of three points, but their fast
work took their breath and the blue and
whites tied the score. with goal from field
and one from foul. When the whistle blew
the score was still tie-10 to 10. Neither
side cared 10 play 1t off. so II was left until
next Thursday. The teams lined up as fol-

is changed in the handful 10 must in
stead of lis requested and therein lies the
offense.
The bill purports to be issued by the

given that on the day following the receipt
of the bill authorized parties Will call upon
the householder for the purpose OF collect
