INDIANA AT THE WORLDS FAIR.
Evans Woollens Says 1t Will Be
Properly Represented.

of the Commercial Club Of that city, and q
member of the law firm of Woolfens &
Woollens, is at the Planters Hotel. The In
dlanapoiis Commercial Club is wealthy
and influential organization. It has MEM
bership of more than 1000 and owns prop
erty valued ct S25a0O0. It is a progressive
body-a leader in the commercial affairs of
the State.
Asked regarding the failure of the last
Legislature to make an appropriation for
an Indiana exhibit at the Pan-American
Exposition, and whether public sentiment
favored liberal appropriation for the
Louisiana Purehase Exposition. Mr.. Wool
lens said: THE indianapolis Commercial
Club favored an appropriation of $15o,ooo for
o building and State exhibit at the Pam
American Exposition, and also advocated
a liberal appropriation for an exposition at
Indianapolis In 1900 to commemorate the one
hl1ndredth anniversary of the establishment
of the territorial government Of Indiana.
The Legislature rejected both measures.
The next Legislature will convene in Janu-

an Endorsement of the truth OF the gospel

that he believed It the duty. as well as the
privilege, OF Gods people to humble Them

announcement OF the proposed proclama-
ton OF Governor Dockery to appoint day
of public prayer for rain and the recent
order OF Archbishop John J. Kahn to the
Catholic clergy of the city to offer prayers
for cessation of drought has caused much
interest in all religious denominations
Archbishop John J. Kahn stated in regard
to his order that the ritual of the Catholic
Church included special prayers for rain.
and that the custom of praying for the
change Of unfavorable. seasons was an
ancient one. Such an order was unusual in
this city, he said.
Father Cesar Spigardi Of the italian Cath

such proclamation may be unusual here,

The Reverend Howard s. MacAyeal. pas
tor OF the Pilgrim Congregational Church,
said that no movement was on foot in the

that there were cases in the Bible where
prayers Of the sort were mentioned.
