THE BAPTIST UNION.
The Metropoie Club CriucIssd-Reputabls
Young Men Condemned.

iouHs 4"Sh NOAuGmnE q.
The Baptist Ministers Union held q
meeting on last Tue day and among
other things considered was the newly
organized MetrOpole Social Club
composed of some of the leading and
most representive men in the United
States. The Baptist Ministers Union
an organization that will wink at soma
things and condemn that which
does mt concern il. The Star
speaker of the occasion was Rev.
Walter II. Brooks who seemed to be
chagrined benause this club is organ
ized for 4 strictly social purpose
Rev. Brooks it will be remembered
MAS a candidate a few years ago for
delegate, from this city, 10 the Ma
tiOnal Republican Convention and was
defeated. The question is, is IL any
more harm for representative men to
organize 4 social club that il was for
Kew. Brooks 10 run game of chance
of being defeated for delegate? Can
the Baptist Ministers Union, as a body
afford, 10 condemn anything that will
tend 10 correct the morals of this
community? Are those gentlemen in
position to condemn men who are
their superiors in every particular?
Doesn't this same body white wash
every charge that is made
against many Of its members. What
has the Baptist Ministers Union done
to condemn the morals of its own
members, since its organization? The
young man whOl was attacked this
week stands above reprOach il this
community and there can be Rothing
said against him, 50 far as his morals
are concerned. Can his traducers say
as much? Suppose the light were
turned on many of those who took
occasion to condemn this club? What
would the community say? The Metro
pole Club is strictly a social institution
and one of which any city would feel
proud.

DOG WORTH OWNING.
Strange FeatS of a Pointer Who
Knew & Thing or Two.
Pointing Got to BE "a Regular Mania
with Him Until Everything That
Wore Feathers Attracted
His Attention.

Talking about bird dogs" said the
man with the shifty eye, in the rear
seat of the trolley car-.and nobody,
suggests the Washington Star, had
said word about bird dogs or any
other kind of dogs-"I had the most
remarkable bird dog that ever hap
pened, l guess, when l was living out
in Santa Barbara, Cal. in '95. l don't

that dog on this earth again. / raised
him from a pup. He was a pointer
from away back. 1t was Just as
natural for that dog to flop on 10 his
launches and point at bN,d as II is
for us humans TO eat things that don't
agree with US.
He began to point before he had
shed his milk teeth. 1 took him out
for a walk one day when he was only
about two months old, and it took US
about four hours 10 get over four
miles Of ground, for that dog would
sit down and point at a bird about
every ten feet of our progress. Il did
not make any sort Of difference what
kind of bird it was that he pointed at.
He'd point at any old kind of a bird.
If a little bunch of English sparrows
would settle down in the middle Of the
street he'd just sit down and point at
them, and it was all ! could do 10 get
him TO come along with me. He'd
point at a robin sitting on top Of a
cottonwood tree, and he'd point at a

Will Cumback Says liz Is the Pre-Em-
inent Science of the Time.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SHELBYVILLE, Ind, May 30.-The usual
ceremonials of Memorial day were observed
here. The cessation from business was
more general than usual. The address was
delivered by Col. Will Cumback, his CEN
trail idea being that the end of good gov
eminent is TO elevate and develop man
hood and TO give the individual greater op-
portunities. In part he said:
1T should constantly be borne in mind
that the science of sciences, the very acme
of human knowledge, is that of knowing
how to live. The end and aim of all knowl-
edge should be TO magnify and elevate the
individual mantle noblest work Of God.
has organized the great forces
of this active age. 1t is this that has lifted
from the shoulders OF humanity the unnec-
eSsary burden that despotism has imposed
thereon. 1t is this that is overthrowing
autocracy and declaring that no govern
ment shall exist without the consent of the
governed. 1t Is this that is u~nbinding the
faith of man from the shackles that super
stition and dogmatism have fastened on
human belief. 1t is this that is slowly yet
surely correcting a false and corrupt pub
lie sentiment that elevates riches above
righteousness, and estimates money higher
than merit. When the last page of the
worlds history is written that page will
be the brightest that contains the records
OF that peerless time In which more than
any other was accomplished in subduing
hate and conquering human selfshness, in
eleVating the great mass OF humanity out
of the marshes and malaria of discord and
constant regard for others rights and rep
utatiOn."

There was a general suspension Of business.
The memorial address this afternoon was
by Smiley n. Chambers, Of Indianapolis.
whose subject was THE Blessings CT
Peace In the course of his remarks. Mr..
Chambers referred feelingly to the death
of his old comrade. Thomas Hanna In
this connection he said:
Since last Memorial day many comrades
have died. The reports of Grand Army Of
ficers to the Encampment show an increas-
ing death roll. We mourn the loss of all
departed comrades. But TO you, people Of
Greencastle, and to me, a comrade of the
Indiana Brigade, the death of our friend
Thomas Hanna is a personal grief. For
many years he was a citizen of your city,
your neighbor and friend, loved by all, 7
am sure. for he was a lovable man. With
me it was the loss of a comrade. We
marched and suffered together in that hOr-
rible campaign in East Tennessee of the
winter of ~lS63-lS6i. He was "A good soldier;
always faithful, never complaining. He
was a good citizen, devoted to his family
and his comrades. The Indiana Brigade
has lost its most devoted member; the
country a loyal citizen: his family a faith
full husband and father; his comrades a
jealous champion of the soldiers rights"

CHICAGO MACHINISTS.


CHICAGO, May 30.-"If to-day were not a
holiday the m%achinists' strike would have
been I'm full blast before the manufacturers
had eaten their morning meal" said Bust
ness Agent Roderick. of district No. S. of
the international Association of Machin-
lists. II is regarded as an advantage by
the union men that they have a holiday
preceding the strike, which was ordered
here yesterday, as all the workmen can be
so rounded UP i'm the interval of one day
that the tieup of the local machinery plants
will be made practically complete to-mor-
row, morning. According to the calculations
of the union strike leader, Roderick, about
1900 machinists will be involved at the
start in the general walkout. This is only
half the number of union machinists in
Chicago and vicinity. 1t is claimed by
Roderick and others of the unions execu-
tive board that the reason why the other
1000 Will not be affected is that their en-
ployers have either signed the union scale
of wages already. or expressed their will
ingness to sign. 1t has been the claim of
the union machiniStS that a strike by them
would result in the complete tieup of every
foundry and workshop under the ban of
their strike order. If these claims are made
good the general strike now declared would
throw. perhaps. 5000 or $4,000 men out of
employment in Chicago.
Chicago district, No. 8, international As
ISOLATION of Machinists. took further steps
to-day to avert the strike. President Mel
ncan prepared a draft of an agreement
with the manufacturers of Chicago. This
agreement calls for an increase of 12R per
cent. over wages paid May 20. a nine-hour
day, time and a half for overtime up to
six hours, and double time for time ex-
ceeding six hours more than nine hours a
day. and also double time for sundays and
holidays All shop committees were to-day
notified that If i'm any shop the agreement
Is not signed by 10 o'clock tomorrow every
machinist employed in hat shop shall quit
work and remain idle till further orders
from his organization.

GRANTS GRANDDAUGHTER.
Miss S~artoris VIII Be Married I'm Eng
land In July.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
The marriage of Miss Vivian sartoris to
Mr.. Archibald Balfour, of England. VIII
take place in July from the London resi-
dence of Mrs. Gordon, aunt OF the BRIDE
elect. Ii was while on a visit 10 Mrs. Cor
don two years since that Miss Sartoris met
her fance. Captain Algernon Sartoris will
go to England TO attend the ceremony and
bestow the hand OF his sister in marriage.
Miss Rosemary Sartoris will attend the
bride as maid or honor. The marriage VIII
be one of the fashionable events of the
early summer in London. after which the
bride and groom will spend some time on
the Balfour estates in Scotland.
In September Mr.. Balfour will bring his
bride TO this country for a visit 10 her
mother and grandmother. as the health OF
neither of the latter will admit OF their
crossing the ocean for the happy event. as
they had desired. Mrs. L. $. Grant and
Mrs. S~artoris. both of whom have been
invalids during the past year. have closed
their Washington home and are now in
New York for a visit before going 10 CO.
burg. Canada. where they have leased the
Ladd place for the summer.
An interesting feature OF the coming
marriage is that the entire trousseau OF the
bride-elect has been made in Washington
by one of the leading mOdistes. From this
establishment four Immense trunks have
been sent recently TO London. containing
one of the daintiest collections OF gowns,
etc. Of which any fashionable bride can
boast.
The wedding gown IS a superb creation OF
white satin deliberately trimmed with point
lace. which possesses the historic value OF
having been worn by Mrs. Grant when. as
first lady OF the land, she presided I'm the
White House. Some Of the other lace used
on the trousseau is that which formed part
OF Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris's wedding
gifts and Is almost priceless In value.
The stay of Mr.. Balfour and his bride in
this country will be a short one. They viii
make their permanent winter home IN Lon
don and spend the summers at the BalfOur
estates in Scotland. The groom-el CT Is a
lawyer I'm fine practice in Lond~n, and
cousin OF the Hon. Arthur Balfour.
