Dowie's Attack ON Christian Science

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
In your issue OF Oct. s Dowie is reported
to nave attacked Christian Science in an
address in New York city. He is reported
to have declared hat Mrs. Eddy's teach
ings that there is no such thing as feel
ing, tasting or smelling except in the
imagination of persons is all bosh." As this
is an incorrect statement of Mrs. Eddy's
teachings which might mislead some Of
your readers, 1 ask space to correct it
briefly. Mrs. Eddy does not teach that there
is no such thing as feeling. tasting. etc.
except in imagination, and no well-informed
Christian Scientists entertain such a notion.
Mrs. Eddy teaches that God, infinite spirit.
is omnipresent and, therefore, the only
entity and that the physical universe is,
therefore, phenomenal and not a reality in
the true meaning of that word, or the sense
in which God is reality. II follows as a nee
essary logical corollary that the evidences
of our physical senses, such as tasting, are
not matters of imagination on our part, but
are phenomena merely as cOntradistin-
guished from the realities of being. And
this teaching is being more and more
corroborated by the later conclusions OF the
physical scientists, who are abandoning the
former dogma in natural science that mat
ter is real and resolving matter, in it's ulti-
mate analysis. into a nonreality or phenom-
ena. If matter were an entity, instead of
phenomena. theism would be the only logical
outcome. But physical science is now PROV

PROGRAMME OF J.P. DUNN
1T MAY MEET WITH OPPOSITION
IN THE COUNCIL.
Committee May Not Report
FavOrabIy the O~rdinanc to
Appropriate &c 5000

The Hoffman administration will meet
with general opposition from the Repub-
hcans in Council in trying to carry out its
new financial programme. 1t Is understood
that the Republicans-and there is a Re-
publican majority in Council-do not look
with favor upon the financial methods the
new city controller, Jacob Piatt Dunn, is
trying to ~inaugurate.
In the first place it is understood from
an authoritative source that the ordinance
the city controller had introduced at the
special meeting of Council last week to
appropriate about $500 with which to pay
the salaries in the city engineers depart
ment the remainder of this year. will not
be reported upon favorably by the finance
committee, of which Joseph l.. Casper is
chairman. The old administration paid SAL
aries out of the general fund when the
regular appropriation was exhausted and
ii Is understood the Republican majority
Of Council will recommend, by refusing to
favor this ordinance, that the new admin
istration follow the method of the Book
walter administration.
City Clerk Fogarty failed to have this or
dinance ready for the examination of the
finance when it met at Mr.. Gas
per's office Saturday, but the committee
probably will hold another meeting to-
day and be ready to make a report on the
ordinance tonight. 1t was thought at
first that City Clerk Fogarty's delay would
prevent the mmit from reporting on
the ordinance until the next meeting.
The ordinance TO ratify the contract OF
ana Union Traction Company the right to
bring its cars from the Noblesville and Tip
ton line into the city over the Central
avenue line, will be reported upon by the
committee on franchises and contracts at
to-night's meeting. This is one of the mat
ters Mayor Hoffman has asked Council to
take immediate action upon.
The ordinance to transfer about 81, 700
from the bridge fund TO the B~rightWood
waterworks, the street repairing fund and
the blank books and stationery fund like
ly will be reported upon favorably by the
finance committee at to-night's meeting.
This ordinance was introduced at the re-
quest OF the city controller at the special
meeting last week.
Word has gone out that City Controller
Dunn's and City Engineer Jeup's recon-
mendation TO Council that the appropria-
ton for extra help in the city engineers
department for 1904 be increased 5000, will
never materialiZe in the form of an ordi-
nance. By increasing this appropriation
5000 the entire amount spent for extra
help in the city engineers office next year
would be SIP, 760. The recommendation of
the city controller and the city nginee
was referred TO the finance mmi and
il is understood the matter will never be
reported back 10 Council.

story Of the Work That the Rev. Will
lis r.. Hotchkiss and Others Are
Accomplishing.

The pulpit of the First Friends Church,
Alabama and Thirteenth streets. was occu-
pied last night by the Rev. Willis r. Hotch-
was sent by the Friends churches of this
country to found a Friends African Indus
trial Mission among the native tribes of
Kavirondo in Central Africa.
DR.. Hotchkiss, assisted by Arthur B. Chill
son and Edward T. Hole, DR.. Blackburn,
Emery Reese and their wives, have leased
S65 acres of very fertile ground from the
English government. $500 feet in altitude,
twenty-five miles north of Victoria Nyanza,
and about 600 miles in the interior of Africa,
where it is their intention to educate the
natives in the arts of husbandry, teaching
them to grow coffee, cotton and rubber and
at the same time instill into them the doc
trine of Christianity that they may go
forth and spread the gospel among their
people, the missionaries believing that a ma
tive can reach his people far better than
can a missionary.
In his lecture last night DR.. Hotchkiss
told of the many important changes that
have taken place in that country since he
went there eight years ago. When his party
first arrived in Africa it was necessary for
them to travel the 600 miles on foot into
the interior, where they located their mis-
sion. His party was frequently ambushed
by those natives who are to-day their best
friends. The English government, within
the past few years. has constructed a steam
railroad the entire distance from the sea
coast to Victoria Nyanza. W large
steamers have been placed upon the lake
by the English government. These steam
ers are of the newest designs, twin-screw
propellers, electric lighted and having large
and handsome state rooms.
DR.. Hotchkiss, during his stay in Africa,
has completely mastered the language OF
the Kavirondo and speaks it fiuently. The
first word he was able to master was the
word which means what is it," From this
word he has been able to build up a vocab.
ulary.
DR.. Hotchkiss has come to this country
to raise funds for the purpose of carrying
on his work in the dark continet. 1t is his
intention to erect buildings in which tC
teach these natives many industrial arts
If sufficient funds can be raised, a sawmil
will be erected, a manufacturing plant anC
other business enterprises will be estab-
lished which will tend to civiliZe them.
Many Of the members Of the church
pledged their financial support last night
to the great work which these mission,
aries wish to accomplish.

knocked down and seriously injured
yesterday afternoon by the Winnie
mucca hotels wagon, is resting easily
today, and while naturally bruised
and sore from the effects of the acct
dent, is as free from pain as coula be
expected.
The injuries were found to consist
of two broken ribs. on the left side.
and a number Of bruises. The broken
bones, fortunately were not shattered
to any extent, and their reunion will
be but a matter of a few days time.
DIR. Giroux stated today that the
shock to Mr.. Bonnifield's sys-

covered from it surprisingly well, and
there was nothing to indicate injuries
of an internal character.

to know hat his injuries were no
more serious. and will be glad to see
him out again after what certainly
was a miraculous escape from death.

PROF. WILSON'S LECTURES
Two Interesting Talks to be
Given Tomorrow

A rare literary treat in the form of
two able lectures on timely, prac-
teal topics will be enjoyed by all
who attend the lectures of Prof. N.
e. Wilson at the school building to-
morrow. Prof. Wilson has taken the
time from his duties at the University
of Nevada to deliver these lectures.
and the people of Winnemucca should
show their appreciation of the OPP
portunity by being well represented
in numbers at both lectures.
At 10 a. m. the topic discussed will
be The Sugar Beet from the Seed
to the Sugar Barrel" His experience
and study along the line of this i'm
portant industry enables Prof. Wilson
to give a description of it as valuable
and practical as 1t is interesting.
The subject for the afternoon lee
ture, at 2 o'clock. is THE Formation
of Coal" This undoubtedly will be
enjoyed by all, and especially by the
students in the higher grades.

TO CUT DOWN EXPENSES
No More Rural Free Delivery
Routes After July

Washington, Nay 13.-Postmaster-
General Payne yesterday announced
that there would be no more establish
ments of rural free delivery service
until July 1st, the beginning of the
next fiscal year. This is one result
of the investigation of postoffic affairs
and of the discovery that at the pres
ent rate of increase of routes there
would be a deficit in the rural free
delivery service by the end of the
fiscal year. Instructions have been
given to the Fourth Assistant Post
master-General to curtail expendi-
lures. 1t is not intended. however,
routes shall be suspended. and the
field work, therefore, will continue.
Mr.. Payne estimates that the total
number of routes fairly entitled to be
established in the entire country
would be SO, 900, and that at the pres
ent rate of increase this would be
reached two years hence.
Mr.. Payne said tonight that he had
asked the Civil Service commission to
have it's representatives make an in
vestigation Of the Washington post
office, in addition to the investigation
already made by p~ostofice inspectors.
He said this action was taken on ac-
count of charges of violations of the
civil service law in that Office. The
civil service men, he said. will make
their report tomorrow.
