Debating Society Celebrates It's VIC
tory Over Kalamazoo.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
FRANKLIN, Ind, April Sin celebration
of its victory last Friday evening over Kali
amazoo College the Franklin College De-
batting Club was given banquet Tuesday
evening by the young ladies of the Pi Beta
Phi Sorority at their new chapter house.
The banquet was brilliant success in
every way. Miss Bertha Fletcher was
chosen toastmistress. and the following
toasts were responded to: "The Debating
Club. Miss Nell Kemp; 'The Present Oc-
casion," Prof. A. e. Bestor; How We Won
1t" Arnold b. Hail. 'The Future of the
Club" A. b. Murphy; ''The Visitors" Miss
Grace Stubbs.
The first baseball game of the season will
be played tomorrow afternoon with Shorte
ridge High School. This game was post
poned from last Friday on account of rain.
The prospects for Franklin are poor owing
to lack of the proper amount of practice by
the players and the lack of a good pitcher.
The inheld Is In fairly good condition, but
the outtield is poor, The positions for to-
morrow's game will probably be filled as
follows: Pitcher. Clarence Mullikin; catch
er, Captain Roach; shortstOp, Charles Jew
ett; first base. Eliza Silver; second base,
ler; left field. Mark Webb; center field,
Gilbert Dur; right field. Walter Beam.
The baseball game that was scheduled
with Rose Polytechnic Institute for next
Saturday has been Cancelled on account of
disagreement between the managers.
Franklin's prospects for track team this
year are about the same as those for base
ball. Branigan and Dur will show up well
on the jumps. Webb will be fast for the
short dashes, while Silver and Spurgeon
are showing up well in the shot put and
hammer throw. Unless some new material
is developed before the state meet at Rich
mond Franklin will not be represented in
all the events, although she will probably
show up well in some.
Prof. Z. s. Gardiner gave a talk in chapel
Monday morning in which he gave full
account OF the Northern Indiana Teachers
Association. which he attended last week at
Richmond.
After several weeks of consultation the
building committee of Franklin College ae-

TWAIN VERSUS EDDY.
Once More the Humorist, No Longer
Humorous, Returns to the Attack.


In the April number of the North Amer

titled Mrs. Edy in Error" closes for the
present his discussion of Christian science.
After citing Mrs. Eddy's recent declara-
ton through the newspapers that she does
not think the term mother" is applicable
to her and that 1t is used by the members
Of the cult against her wish, and that 1t Is
in her opinion ''self-deification is blasphe-
NOUS" Mark Twain quotes a number OF
passages from books and public utterances
of Mrs: Eddy. which, he argues. afford
claim to the exclusive title to the term
mother" and that she has also affirmed
that she is Of divine origin, gifted with
supernatural powers. He says:
"She has absolute control over all branch
churches she has over the supreme
church. This power exceeds the Pope's:
I'm simple truth. she Is the only absolute
sovereign in all Christendom. The author
ity of the other sovereigns has limits. hers
has none. None whatever. And her yoke
does not fret, does not offend. Many of
the subjects of the other monarchs feel
their yoke, and are restive under it; their
loyalty is insincere. 1t is not so with this
ones human property their loyalty is
genuine, earnest, sincere. enthusiastic. The
sentiment which they feel for her is one
which goes out In sheer perfection to no
other occupant of a throne; for II Is love,
pure from doubt. envy. exaetion, fault fault
seeking, love whose sun has no spot
that form Of love, strong. great. uplifting,
limitless, whose vast proportions are COM
pessable by no word but one, the prodfgfous
word, worship. And it is not as human
being that her subjects worship her. hut
as supernatural one, divine one, one
who has comradeship with God, and speaks
by His voice.
Mrs. Eddy has herself created all these

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April 9.-The en-
rollment for the spring term at the Indiana
Normal is falling short of the number ex-
pected. 1t has not reached 1000. and it was
thought there would be 1900 to 1900. The
falling off is solely in the men students.
There is larger per cent. of women than
usual. The explanation is found in the
prosperity in Industrial and commercial af-
fairs, which attracts young men from the
schoolroom to business pursuits. Many of
the teachers who usually teach during the
winter and come to the Normal in the
spring have accepted profitable employ
ment.
Notwithstanding the comparatively small
attendance Of men students, 1t is said there

RUSSIAN FEARS ALLAYED.


WASHINGTON, April 9.-The diplomatic
correspondence relating to China in the
forthcoming volume of foreign relations or
the United States discloses the firm position
taken by this government during the Boxer
troubles. In one of his communications to
Secretary Hay concerning the Niu-Chwang

American sailors and Russian soldiers,
Minister Conger said: THE Russians have
evidenced annoyance because the Engllsh
and American eunboats came there with
out permission OF or notice to them. The
Russian minister asked me yesterday why
this was done. / replied because Niu-
Chwang is an open treaty port. and We had
quite as much right there as they, ana
neither their special permission or special
notice Of the coming of the gunboat was
necessary. / said further that, since the
occupation was temporary and they were
soon TO leave IL was not thought. under the
unsettled conditions. to be safe to leave our
interests and our citizens unprotected DUR
ing the long and icebound season. He
quickly asked If that was the only reason
the gunboat was there. / replied yes, so
far as l was informed, and at any rate 1t
was the only ground upon which request
ed that vessel be sent. He said he was
pleased TO know this. for the Russians had
all believed that the coming of the Alger-
Inc anu Nicksburg was a sort of combined
naval demonstration against the Russians,
and was apparently the cause of the ap-
parent bitter feeling on the part of the Of
ficials at Niu-Chwang."

WHITAKER WRIGHT'S CLEW.
How the "ShadOws" Got on the Track
of the London Financier.
TnpAop Ta1aoranh

London Telegraph.
The story of how the detectives got on
to the track of Mr., Whitaker Wright is
interesting. 1t Is stated that on Feb. %
he changed a check at his banker s at
Godalming for 95O0, and received bank
notes in payment. The numbers of the
of the city police, and in due course IL
was found that one of them, for el00 had
been cashed at the Bank of England. This
note came from Paris, and accordingly the
representative in the French capital of
Messrs. Michael Abrahams, Sons q Co.,
the solicitors acting for the prosecution,
was instructed by telegraph to make In.
vestigations. 1t was then ascertained that
the bank note had been received by the
French TRANSATLANTIC Company In payment
for two berths on the steamship La Lor-
dreoni. On this information being COM
municated to Messrs. Michael Abrahams,
Sons & Co., on Saturday evening, II was
York police and Pinkerton's detective
agency, with instructions TO arrest An
dreoni. If he was identified as Mr.. Whita-
terday morning, and was Immediately
boarded by representatives of Pinkerton's s
and the police, with the result that Mr..
Whitaker Wright was apprehended.
1t Is difficult to trace the movements of
Mr.. Wright between Feb. 20. when he drew
the bank notes, and the 7th inst. when he
embarked on the French liner at Havre,
but 1t Is known that on Feb. q he pro-
ceeded with his valet to Southampton, and
left there on Feb. %. stating that he was
going to Cannes to join a yacht. As a
matter of fact, he seems to have gone to
Paris and it is worth pointing out that,
while Justice Buckley, after hearing the
application for an order to institute a
prosecution i'm the matter of the London
and Globe, reserved his decision on March
8, Mr.. Whitaker Wright sailed from Havre
on Saturday. the 7th. He had been Joined
at the French port by lady, who is be-
lieved to be his niece, and who accom-
panied him across the Atlantic under the
name of Miss Andreoni.
