A MILD PROTEST.
The Journal ON Methodist Preachers
Attitude Towards Sunday Papers.

The Journal on Methodist Preachers'
Attitude Towards Sunday Papers.
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
am not altogether pleased with the Jour-
nails criticism of the attitude taken by the
Methodist preachers in regard to Sunday
papers. True. the spirit of the editorial is
not unkind, and ii admits a growing SEN
timent in favor of Sunday papers. but it
seems to me there is not the respectful
recognition of the inevitable slowness of
change from traditional notion to more
modern thoughts and practice. especially
among the old; and how 1t grieves them
to see their early notions disregarded. The
first Methodist conference / attended was
at Lawrenceburs in 1899. Among the prom
inent figures of the conference was Rev.
John S. Bayless, who three years later be-
came the first pastor of Roberts Chapel
in this city. He had just been married in
a suit of store clothes, the coat of the pig
eon-tail style. and the breaches with mar
row falls. then all the fashion; topped with
a stove-pipe hat, the only member of the
conference that wore store clothes in any
fashion. As he moved among the breth-
for his utter disregard of traditions of
Methodism, which criticism ultimately
found shape in a resolution offered by Rev.
Daniel c. Cooper and adopted almost unan-
Resolved. That every member of this
conference be required TO attend the next
session Of the conference wearing a broad
brimmed hat, with coat cut straight
breasted or shad-bellied, and breaches with
broad falls"
Everybody intended II as at once a re-
buke to the foppish preacher and a pledge
to maintain old-fashioned Methodist usages
But more preachers wore store clothes the
next year. and from year to year after
wards, though the old men adhered to their
1{or ont ~ az If1x7~ <1xox~
liked, but later on some wore broad
cloth when they could afford IL, and I well
remember one Methodist preacher who new
er would wear "galluses." denouncing them

Family feuds and vendetta practiced in

mailing a lriddance of dangerous charac-

VALUABLE AID TO MARINERS.



SAN FRANCISCO. May l2-The stellar
Azimuth machine, invented and patented
by Capt r. T. Lawless. of the Oceanic
Steamship Company. has been given the
test of practical use and has proved a most
valuable addition to the mariners aid in
navigation. One Of these machines was
used on board the flagship New York dur
ing the just ended cruise of the Pacific
squadron and the trial not only proved its
value but demonstrated the wonderful pos
sibilities of Captain Lawless's invention.
According TO the navigating officer of the
New York the stellar Azimuth machine Is
an advanced step in the direction of a me-
chanical navigator which will solve the
problems of position and courses with abso-
lutte accuracy the factor of mental mis-
calculation being entirely eliminated. Rear
Admiral Glass speaks very highly of the
machine and the one that went with the
squadron will be sent to the Navy Depart
ment at Washington to be tested in con-
