A MEMORIAL SERMON.


The Rev. Thomas j. Villers. of the First
Baptist Church. yesterday morning
preached a sermon that stood as a me-
mortal to General Harrison. He said Gen
eral Harrison was not a Christian in rep
resentation, but in deed. He spoke i'm
admiration OF the ex-President's industry,
patriotism and Christianity. making the
t.-ee characteristics subtopics for his ser
mon. The intensity with which the states
man entered into all things was spoken OF
as an ever apparent characteristic in Cen
eral Harrison's life. no matter how small
the details involved. The minister said
he was not slothful in spirit. but was
ever up and doing.
The minister said the patriotism of Cen
eral Harrison, which was closely asso-
ciated with his religion, was with him from
youth. he having had the example of his
man was OF a shrinking disposition regard
ing the public. but the true spirit OF the
man was brought out when his principles
and ideas were attacked. or things said
rejecting on his country or State. or
church. This brought him to the front
with his master mind, and, actuated by
a patriotic spirit. he overcame the argu-
ment against what he stood for. Another
distinguishing trait OF character presented
was General Harrison's cOnscientiOusness.
The Rev. Mr.. Nillers spoke extensively
OF Harrison as a Christian. and all the
tributes paid to his character contained
allusions to Christianity. He said the
ex-President was a man who enjoyed the
Bible class. a man who let no other en-
gagemen deter him from making room
for prayer service. and he was a man
ever willing 10 testify for Christ. Gen
eral Harris0n's address at the mission

ferred TO, and the minister read an ex-
tract from one OF his speeches on that

'HUMPY' HAVEN'S ARREST
HE TRIED TO SECURE ENTRANCE TO
THE HARRISON HOUSE.
Haven Was Intoxicated when Placed
Under Arrest-A Long Knife
Found I'm His Pocket

An unfortunate incident occurred at the
Harrison home, yesterday afternoon, about
100 o'clock, while the family and relatives
were in the home gathered about the re-
mains of General Harrison. TO hear the
short prayer that was offered by Rev. NJ.
L. Haines, before the remains were taken
from the house. The incident created a
little excitement at the time, but through
the alertness Of Attorney General Taylor
and two Of the police officers serious
trouble was averted. The excitement was
caused by "Humpy" Haven, a notorious
local character, trying to gain entrance
to the Harrison home. Sergeant Giblin
first noticed the fellow, who was dressed
in shabby clothes, and evidently under
the influence of liquor, following closely
behind Sergeant Lowe, just north of the
house. Sergeant Giblin called attention to
the fellow, and Sergeant Lowe ordered him
back on the sidewalk. Haven removed
his hat in a drunken fashion and crowded
his way through the people.
As soon as Sergeants Giblin and Lowe
had left the place., Haven pushed through
the crowd again, without being noticed
by the two officers stationed at the cor
ner. He walked rapidly towa@d the Har-
rfson home, and no one seemed to notice
him until he was in the yard and step
ping toward the porch. Attorney General
Iaylor snapped his fingers loudly and at
tracted the attention OF Patrolmen Miller
and Montgomery, who hurried toward
Haven. The latter, however, increased his
pace, and reached the steps OF the porch
before the officers overlook him. The po-
licemen placed him under arrest, and es-
corted him through the crowd and TO IL
linois street, where the patrol wagon was
called and he was taken 10 the police sta
ton. He was slated for drunkenness and
malicious trespass.
When searched a long knife was found
upon him, such as Is used by banana ped
dlers- When asked his motive for going
10 the house he claimed he thought he
had as much right 10 enter the house as
the people did to enter the Statehouse on
Saturday to view the remains of General
Harrison. In accounting for the presence
OF the knife he said he was a peddler,
and this was confirmed by other officers,
who said they knew him to be a peddler.
Detectives Asch and Gerber said the fell
low has a bad reputation, and has been
regarded as a desperate man. as he has
served terms in the penitentiary for rob-
berry and highway robbery. The detectives
said they saw him acting suspiciously
near the rear OF the house a short time
before he was arrested. Many who saw
the arrest believed that the fellow was a
desperate character who had desired to
enter the house for INSCRIPTIONS motives,
but the police believe that he was only
acting OF a drunken impulse.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, March list. Pat
rick's day was celebrated to-day with a
large parade for the first time in a number

not get ready. Then they decided to be

MR.. WANAMAKER A
HE CONDUCTS BIBLE CLASSES AT
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Address to Classes Formerly Con-
Quoted by Gen. Harrison and Gov.
MOunt-A Large

John Wanamaker, ex~-postmaster general
under President Harrison, whose fame as a
Sunday school superintendent is almost as
far-reaching as his personal and political
identity, yesterday addressed the Bible
classes in the First Presbyterian Church
Sunday school that were formerly taught
by General Harrison and Governor Mount.
The class, which is known as Governor
Mounts memorial class" and is now
taught by George T. Howser. is composed
of male members only, and it was this class
that Mr.. Wanamaker first consented to adj
dress. Later it was decided to include Gen
eral Harrison's class, and in the end sew
eral other classes Joined these two, making
quite a congregation for the ex-postmaster
general. Mr.. Howser briefly reviewed the
lesson and Mr.. Wanamaker was one of his
closest listeners.
Mr.. Wanamaker first talked of the lesson
topic, Jesus and PLATE" He spoke feel
ingly of the trial of Jesus before PLATE and
said the rulers consent TO allow Christ to
be crucifed was due to his failure to stand
by his convictions. He said Plate was of
the sincere belief that Jesus had done no
wrong, but he yielded to the clamors of
the people. The principle of standin by
convictions was then applied to men of to-
day. Then Mr.. Wanamaker drifted more
into a discussion of everyday topics and
said money and pleasure seem to be the
goal of many instead of Christ and the
church. 1T seems that money will do ev-
erything," he said; lit diverts us from the
church and causes US to find amusement
elsewhere. Sunday golf and excursions
take the place of comfort in the Bible class.
Ii is the old book We should live by"
Referring to General Harrison, he said
he was a man who never lost his convic-
lions and was a Christian. His life was
ever the same, he said. He had lived in
Christ's name here and death is now the
opening of the door into the more beautiful
country. He said General Harrison was a
Christian in deed and action and cared lit
tie for the possession of worldly things,
and that his love for higher and better
things ever shone out of his eyes and heart.
Mr.. Wanamaker also paid tribute to the
memory of Governor Mount.

principles, Benjamin Harrison stood among
