The Philadelphia Giants went TO
pieces in their game with the Will
mington A. A. yesterday afternoon,
and they could not play with the local
men. Bell. their pitcher, was mt
hard, and the team behind him played
a miserable game. All kinds of errors
We're made. and the Giants threw uhe
bail all around the field.
About 1000 people had Travelled over
the bridge to see the game and expected
TO see a close contest Most or the
spectators were colored people, and It
was not their fault that the Giants did
not win. for their roofing could be
heard almost a mile away.
The Wilmington A. A. men played
fast game, and some very brilliant
plays were made at times. The best
play any OF the visitors made was the
great catch OF Manning, their centre
fielder. He was playing deep Held
when a hlgh fly was knocked over sec
ond base. Manning started in for IT,,
and what the spectators Thought was
a sure hit was captured by the little
colored fellow in a neat manner
TWO men were out at the time, and
two men ON the bags, and the play re-
tired the side and prevented The two
runs from coming in. Manning re
ceived loud applause, and had TO take
his cap on when he came in from the
field The batting and base running oil
the Wilmington A. A. men We're other
features of the game. The men land
ed on the ball repeatedly, and drove II
out for safe hits. In going around uhe
bases all the men showed good judg-
ment, but when Russell took drive for
home and had to slide twelve or hfteen
feet the crowd went wild.
Wilson pitched for the local men
and M was amusing to see how The
visitors would bat at his curves. He
pitched a good game. and at no time
did he have TO exert himself. Today
Wilmington A. A. will play the forh
! Y. NJ. c. A., and they will not return
TO this city until Thursday night Fri
day they viii play the Chester team
and It will be a good game.

their work in the field was better than
that of their opponents.

MRS. ELIZA G. WILEY DEAD
COMPLICATION OF Dis
EASES CAUSED HER DENISE. \
A wealthy Woman Highly Esteemed
for Charitable WOrk-Family Con-
nectiOns-Other Deaths.

Mrs. Eliza c.. Wiley. who was the widow
of Capt. William Y. Wiley and the mother
OF Frederick II. Wiley. died at an early
hour yesterday morning I'm the Fletcher
Sanatorium. on East Market street. Her
death. while sudden, was not unexpected,
she having grown gradually weaker during
the last few weeks. Mrs. Wiley had been
undergoing treatment for thirteen weeks in
the sanatorium for a complication of nerv-
Gus diseases. which had their origin in a
severe attack Of grip three years ago.
With her son Frederick, she had lately
returned from a tour of the Orient in search
Of health. The trip was beneficial. but the
seeds OF nervous prostration had been
sown and no permaent relief was obtained.
Her age was seventy-one years. Mrs.
Wiley was born in Pennsylvania in 1881.
She came TO Indianapolis in 1889. and for
some years taught in the McClain Semi
airy for Girls. Afterward she removed to
Jacksonville. Ill, where she remained for
several years, returning TO this city to be
married in 1869 TO Capt. William Y. Wiley,
who was at that time in charge of the
United States Arsenal.
She was a woman Of very active life,
ana asSiduous worker in a number of or
ganized charities and philanthrOpic move
ments- For many years she was associated
W. the Free kindergarten Society and
long served as its president. She devoted
a great deal Of time to the Flower Mission,
assisting the work with her time and gen.
erous benefactions. She was an active
member of the Woman's Club. Her connec-
ton with the Second Presbyterian Church
was of many years. and in all the depart
ments of the church work Mrs. Wiley took
a prominent part.
The surviving relatives are few. The son.
Frederick, and one sister and one brother
are the immediate relatives. Mrs. job c..
Wright. a daughter OF Captain Wiley by
his first wife. completes the number. Cap
tain Wiley died IN 1873.
The funeral, which will be strictly pri-
vate, will be held tomorrow afternoon
from the residence OF Mr.. and Mrs. John
c. Wright. 30 East Vermont street. The
Rev. ]. Cumming Smith will have charge
OF the services.
Mrs. Wiley was said to be the wealthiest
woman in Indianapolis.

tiers to two delegates. The third amend
ment proposed provides for one delegate TO
each one hundred members of chapters.
This. if adopted, would deprive many small
chapters of individual representation. The
question of representation has been under
consideration of n cOmmitte appointed at
the last congress-, which will report dur
ing the coming session.
Another clause in the present constitu-
ton that many are seeking to abolish
comes under the head OF discipline. 1t is
as follows: ANY member conducting her
elsewhere, i'm a way calculated to disturb
the harmony of the society, or to impair
it's good name or prosperity, or to inJure
the reputation of any member thereof,
may, after thorough investigation, be rep
rimanded, suspended or expelled, as the
national board of management may de-
eide" Many of the members believe this
provision is drastic n altogether I'M
becoming for such a body Of women as the
d. A. r. 1t is also said that one of the
members of a delegation from an Eastern
State is about to invoke this clause in the
constitution against a sister delegate, who,
she believes. has injured her. For this rea-
son IT is proposed to cancel the provision
before the Eastern delegate makes the
congress the airing place of her grievances.
"All indications point TO the largest at
tendance of delegates ever known on a
the president general. II hope the congress
will be harmonious, but, of course, in a
body of nine hundred earnest women there
are bound to be some differences, and the
natural desire to win a point may cause
some friction. / think, however, the con-
gress will compare favorably with con-
crosses OF men with like parliamentary eX-
perience. We mean right, and il is my sin
cere conviction that we are learning fast
the ways of tateSwomen."

anchored off the coast of New Guinea
and that several OF the explorers landed.
After an apparently friendly reception
from the natives the latter treacherously
attacked them during the night, murder

THE WISDOM OF YOUTH
REV. Il. A. CANTRELL, OF PEOPLES
CHURCH, AT PROPYLAEUM.
A Large Congregation Listens to the
sermon-Christ Church Services
Talk on "~LfncoIn."

Rev. E. A. Cantrell, of the Peoples
Church. addressing a large congregation,
took for the subject Of his remarks yester-
day afternoon at the Propylaeum, 1.-The
Wisdom of Youth" There are" said
Mr.. Cantrell. two attitudes, the attitude
of the radical and the conservative, the
prophet and priest. To youth all things
are possible. while, as age comes on, man
grows more conservative and fears TO un-
dertake the great risks of lie. We talk
of the follies OF youth. Is there not a wis
dom in the daring which attempts the APP
parently impossible? Isn't it wise to grow,
TO progress? Is there not a higher quality
of wisdom in the dreaming which lays hold
of the stars than in the conservatism
which holds tenaciously to custom?
. There is a quality of egotism about re-
form movements, about radicalism. But
what reformer has not said I?' Emmanuel
Kant rose to the superlative degree of
egotism when he said. I am the truth
| once heard Vending say. Jesus was
the consummate egotist of the centuries
When L rise to a vision Of principles, of
eternal laws. and feel within myself the
power in the universe, can L not say, L
am the way, the truth and the life?' The
world needs the right kind of egotism.
tages Of modern education sees what his
fathers did not see, it is not egotism to
say so. We see more than Wesley and
Calvin, not because we are greater than
they. but because we nave advantages that
they had not.
ITO the young men in the audience the
preacher, who Is himself a young man,
said: Rise with your vision of the un.-
versal, come back from your dreams and
take UP lfe's tasks. Launch out, don I
stand looking into the past What we
need to-day is more room. Do the thing
that you are afraid TO do, break the ropes,
feed on the universe. There is no danger,
the pasturage is good"

QUESTIONS ASKED BY WI
INCIDENTS OF THE MINISTER'S RE-
CENT STOP AT FORT WAYNE.
Trouble with the Word TippecanOe-
Why Lii Hung Chang Asked the
Age of Women.
ecial to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE, Feb. 16.-The Chinese
minister, WI Tingfang, demonstrated his
powers of Interrogation during his recent
enforced stay here owing to an accident to
his train in the Pennsylvania yards. Will
lam c. Geake, the young president of the
Tippecanoe Club. was one of a party Of
local citizens who called on him with sew
eral Of the newspaper men. Mr.. Geake was
presented to the diplomat by Congressman
Lands as the president of the Tippecanoe
Club.
What club?'
The Tippecanoe Club"
Here the minister made several attempts
to pronounce the word and asked its mean
ing. When explained to him he gave an
inarticulate grunt of satisfaction. He
had never heard the name before.
"Are you married?' he asked Mr.. Geake.
mo, sir" was the reply.
Why not?' asked the minister.
The minister kept up a fire of questions as
to Fort Wayne. asking about the churches,
the denominations, the politics of the
mayor the number of newspapers and their
politics. When he learned that there are
four Democratic daily newspapers, German
included. to one Republican, he turned to
Mr.. Lands and said:
Here, Mr.. Lands, why don't you come
here and start a Republican newspaper
In the course of a conversation with the
newspaper men WI denied that he ever
asked an American lady her age.
Lii Hung Chang" he said, fused TO do
that. but the reason was that his education
In the English language was such as he
could obtain in China. and he learned only
the words without acquiring any knowledge
Of the manners and ideas of the country.
There is nothing out of the way in China
about asking the age of women, but here /
know the ladies do not like to tell their ages
and have not offended them, having been
educated in this country in English
Whenever any interviewer asked the min
lister about the problems of the far East
affecting his country, he would frown and
wave the questioner off with the remark:
Il can't talk about that. You must not
ask me that"
Minister WI seemed to nave some feel
ing against the Germans, and suggested
several times to the reporter of a German
newspaper present that there ought to be
no papers printed in any language other
than the language of the country.
