A meeting of the Fanciers' Association of
Indiana was held yesterday afternoon in
the Woman's building, at the fair grounds.
The subject Of holding a winter show at
Tomlinson Hall this year was discussed at
much length by the members and it was
finally decided to hold the show from Dec.
4 to II.
Another lively wrangle ensued when one
Of the members proposed to charge 81
entry fee for the show and also charge 80
cents admission fee. This was discussed
thoroughly by the members and the great
er number commended that the association
had not yet reached that state of impor-
lance where it could charge 81 for entry
fee.
n subject which was humorously and vet
seriously discussed was the innovation of
a cat display. 1t was decided to allow the
executive committee TO appoint subcom-
mittees TO canvass the state and espe-
cially this city for cat fanciers 1t is pro-
posed to have the cat exhibit one of the
features of the show.

MEMORIAL AT CoLoRED CHURCH.
Services for the Congregation of the
Ninth Presbyterian.

The Ninth Presbyterian (colored) Church,
corner Of Capitol avenue and Michigan
street, held a very appropriate memorial
service last night in observance Of the
funeral Of President Mckinley. The service
showed the high regard in which the late
President was held by the colored people.
The pastor, Rev. H. II. Gibson, opened
the meeting with a few remarks on the
Seven Sayings of the President from the
Time He Was Shot Until He Died" Rev.
Gibson compared these sayings with those
of the Savior on the cross, and said they
showed the great Christian character Of the
Nations dead leader.
Mr.. NJ. l.. Clawson spoke briefly on the
life of Mckinley and alluded to the SINH
larity between his life and that of Garfield.
Attorney w. e. Henderson followed Mr..
Clawson, and in a strong talk condemned
the Chicago American and New York jour
nal, declaring them to be more responsible
than the assassin of William Mckinley.
He also said that just three too many
Presidents had been murdered, ana that
this country offered too much freedom.
Anarchy must be stopped said the
speaker, and when he finished amens could
be heard all over the audience:
DR.. S. A. FurniSS concluded the speaking
with a few well-chosen remarks In which
he called attention TO the good work that
Mckinley had done in bringing the North
and South into closer relations. DR.. Fur
Miss also said that many persons had held
Mckinley responsible in some degree for
the outrages in the South, but that the
recent tragedy had convinced him that the
late President had done all he possibly
could to stop them. ut has been shown
recently" said the speaker. how difficult
it is to secure evidence against people who
commit outrages of this kind"
Nearer, my God. to Thee" was sung
and the meeting adjourned.

1t is the %sneaking assassin, and nothing
can be more inhuman in a human being.
But let US remember why he is responsible
for the deed. the many forces in his charac-
ter that make him responsible. Then think
of the forces in the makeup Of President
Mckinley that made him what ne was. His
life influences were to dWell in Jesus Christ.
influences that made his life a purpose of
sympathy, not professed, but Christian
like. II nodded his character and wrought
that great gentleness and unselhshness
not rest upon party for popularity, for 1t
was these things that made him a friend
to every man he met 1t was the spirit
caught from the Master.
A we consider what a contrast there
is in the victory in death of this man
over other great men who have lived we
feel that this is his greatest victory: sOme-
thing that gives him a victory over his as
sassin. Such faith is a victory that over
comes the world. / do not believe that We
have a grief that cannot be relieved when
we have a religion like this"
Following DR.. ROwlison's address the con-
g%regatiOn sang Lead, Kindly Light an
other Of the Presidents favorite hymns.
The Rev. ID. r. Lucas, who had a personal
acquaintance with President Mckinley and
ton with the Grand Army and politics,
was present. He is very i'll, bat consented
to speak. He had to be helped into the
pulpit by the Rev. Mr.. Philputt. and. seated
In a chair, paid his tribute TO the martyred
President. He said:
"When the great captain Of a ship lies
0CH0 = - AlAAAlS lO4 every DlEIlDtI Oh lllt
crew TO lay his tribute on the coffin" The
doctor was very weak and spoke in low
tones. He said he stood at the head OF the
coffin when President Lincoln was as
sassinated and thought at that time that
the loss could not be borne. Since then, he
said, Lincoln has become greater than he
ever was before and is greater in the eyes
of his countrymen perhaps than if he had
lived. The same thought of sorrow ran
through his mind when Garfield was as
sassinated, he said, but, like Lincoln. Car
fields greatness became greater He said
that now he thought perhaps Mckinley
would be even greater and that the infu-
ence he leaves behind and his untimely
death will bring the people closer together
and drive the dangerous element from the
land. DR.. Lucas was unable to remain for
the rest of the service when he had fin
ished and had TO be taken home.
The Rev. w. B. +. Treat offered PRAYER
and Mrs. GOetz sang THE Home of the
Soul" Again all heads were bowed. and as
the words Il will sing you a song of that
beautiful land, the far away home of the
soul, where no storms ever beat on that
beautiful strand" nearly every eve was
moist and a solemn stiffness prevailed after
the hymn was finished. The service closed
with the audience singing America" and
the benediction by the Rev. O. w. Nc
Gaughey, of the Sixth Christian Church.

A CITY In SORROW.
CONCLUDED FROM 18TH PAGE.)

CONCLUDED FROM 18TH PACED
The CONGREGATIONS united in the meeting
were those of the Second German M: f.,
B~arth-place NJ. E, Edwin Ray NJ. E., Trim
ity Congregational, Emanuel Baptist and
the Second Lutheran churches. But two
of the pastors of these churches were pres
ent, the others being absent from the city.
The little church was well filled with grown
persons from the several churches united in
the service and much interest was mani
tested.
The Rev. c. E. PIoch, pastor of the Sec
ond German NJ. E. Church, acted as master
of ceremonies. The meeting began with
singing by the choir and congregation the
words of the song held so dear by the late
President, Nearer, my God, 20 Thee"
The Rev. Harvey +. Simon, pastor of the
Second Lutheran Church.. followed with a
brief prayer for President Mckinley. The
Rev. c. r. Ploch then read his address in
which he deplored the act of Czolgocz. He
said that a sad and terrible crime has
thrown the Nation into a vale OF tears.
When President Mckinley was struck
down by the bullet of the assassin the
whole world mourned the sad affair. A
insensate wretch he said, has murdered
our ruler because by killing him he thought
he would change the government. This can
never be as our Nation Is free. Inc
birth shows that the hand or God Is ever
guiding it in its path"
Miss Elma Iglemann then sang a solo,
Lead, Kindly Light" At the conclusion
OF Miss Iglemann's singing the Rev. j. h.
Henry, pastor of Emanuel Baptist Church,
read several passages from the scripture.
This was followed by q short talk by the
Rev. Mr.. Henry on the life and character
of President Mckinley. Il sometimes do
not understand the words quoted from
the Bible when it says: God works all
things for good and we'll l do not know
what rave the power to the cowardly as
sassin who directed a bullet toward Mr..
Mckinley on that fatal day. If Cod hand
was in the act we must take il for evil
dence that much good will come from the
dastardly act. The ways of God are ever
changing n the mind Of man is at a loss
sometimes to understand the mysterious
than half a century three Presidents Of
this Republic AVE been shot down by
cowardly assasSins. Each time the Nation
has grieved over the act. In neither OF the
other two cases did the American people
feel so deeply as we do now at the death
of President Mckinley. l cannot under
stand how any man can hate this govern
ment to the point that he would take the
life of the chief ruler"
The Rev. Harvey Il. Simon, pastor Of the
Second Lutheran Church, followed with
a short address in which he spoke feelingly
of the good works done by President Nc
Kinley; of the lovable nature of the man
and his devotion TO Christianity. During
the address Of the Rev. Mr.. Simon the peo-
pIe Wept at the tender words he uttered.
meeting was concluded by prayers for
Mrs. Mckinley and President Roosevelt by
Mrs. Underwood, Mr.. Armstrong and Mrs.
Fehr, the last named praying in the Ger
man language.

the Central Christian.

The Christian churches of the city held a
union memorial service in the Central
Christian Church yesterday morning. The
Rev. Allan B. Philputt, pastor of the church,
presided. The services began witt the con-
gregation singing My Lord, Thy VIII be
Done which was followed by the reading
of the ninetieth and first Psalms by the
Rev. G. VI. Anderson, of the Fourth Chris
tian Church, who also offered a short
prayer. Mrs. Philip Goetz sang Nearer,
my God, 10 Thee" AS she sang the Presi-
dents favorite hymn nearly every head in
the audience bowed and handkerchiefs
were moistened with tears.
The Rev. c. c. Rowlison, OF the Third
Christian Church, delivered the first ad-
dress. He said in part:
1T is difficult for as at this time TO think
of being just and merciful. We nave been
prone 10 think OF justice after an expert
ence that has been felt through the entire
country. We gather here TO pay tribute to
the life of a Christian gentleman and a rep
