Yet formerly this same statesman was

King Charles to public obloquy as a

The difficulty between these two en-

have INDUCED IN, regarding the Sen
ator's refusal to be escorted 10 the

league, the Hon James II. Berry, on
the occasion Of his taking the oath of
Office as Senator. What took place in

cision of Judge Rabb early last June was
in favor of Frederick s. Chase, the court

SHELBYVILLE, Ind, Sept. @.-The new
First Baptist Church, which was erected
in this city during the past year at a cost
of $4,000, was dedicated to-day. Services
at all the other Protestant churches were
dispensed with to give the members of the
other congregations an opportunity to wor-

The morning service began at 1890
O'Clock and long before that time a large
congregation had assembled. DIR. Z. w.
Lounsbury, of Chicago, offic:ated at this
service. He is brilliant pulpit orator
The evening meeting was in the nature of a
song service and was attended by large
crowd, the seating capacity of the church
being taxed to its utmost. All the other
church choirs in the city took part in this
service. The programme of sacred selec-
tons rendered was the finest ever heard in
the city.
At the close of each service Dr. Louns-
bury made an earnest appeal to the large
congregation present to assist in lifting
the church debt of about $467o. After an
hours hard work in the morning he sue

KOKOMO. Ind, Sept. 20.-The plan of the
ladies Of the Markland-avenue Methodist
Church Aid Society to peel tomatoes in the
canning factory Monday To enrich. the
church fund may fail. The wide publicity
given the affair has aroused much OPPOSE
ton, particularly among the husbands of
the women, nearly all of whom against
the scheme. Not that the men regard the
work Of peeiing tomatoes as degrading. or
anything of that sort, but they urge that
such work should be left to the women
already in the factory, who need the money
for the support of their families. The dis
placement of needy working women by the
church people Is regarded as a poor form
of charity.
On the other hand, the women say that
the factory is needing more help in the peel
ing department. and that one will be
thrown out OF work on their account. They
say the work is honorable and the object
worthy. The ladies' society has pledged
itself to raise a large sum of cash to be
devoted to the construction of parsonage
and charging the church edifice, and the
members see no other way to raise the
money than TO go out and work for 1t.
Fairs. socials, entertainments, etc., have
ceased to be profitable, and some new
method must be resorted TO or the society
will fail to meet its obligations.
The canning factory plan is favored by
Rev. Mr.. Williams, pastor of the church.
The notoriety given the affair has caused
some of the women to shrink from further
publicity, and the plan may be dropped.
The husbands In nearly every instance have
offered TO contribute the amount of the
wages to be earned If the women Will stay
away from the factory. In either case the
LADIES have won their object. If the men
put up the cash sought TO be raised by
tomato peeing. the project will be aban-
doned, but the women want TO see the color
of the mems money first. The society has
about sixty active members. The officers
are: President, Mrs. Florence Tate; vice
president, Mrs. Crownover: secretary. Mrs.
Laura Albright; treasurer, Mrs. Maggie

A Pinkerton detective has been at work

frequent deposits of the river bed from
Yorktown TO a point below this city for
analysis in the effort to ascertain If the
destruction might have been caused by
some other means or agency rather than
the strawboard factories dumping their
refuse into the river. The detective said
that one of the farmers residing near this
city told of drug that would quickly clear
the river of fish by attacking the gills,
causing Suffocation. 1t is claimed that
the drug is very cheap, and that 1T had
been employed by persons along the river
to kill the fish and thereby enable suits
to be brought against the American Straw

STREET FAIR FIGHT RACES.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept. 20.-The lin
ing up of forces in the controversy over the
ACCESSIBILITY of having street fair next
month has gone SO far that a sharp clash
is inevitable. 1t is likely to get into the
courts. The promoters of the fair are max
ing contracts with shows and for other
features Of the weeks carnival. They
have about obtained all the 5000 for the
expense fund. The opposition protest paper,
now carrying the names of several hundred
well-known citizens, will be submitted
to the city authorities for the purpose of
preventing the use of the streets. The
fair people say they will have no booths
and that the streets will not be blockaded
There will be a few arches. The shows
are to be in vacant lots and in the court
house yard. The County Commissioners,
however. say the courthouse yard cannot
be used for the purpose. The street fair
officials also say there will be no immoral
shows and that the ministers will be asked
to inspect them. The opposition says that
immoral shows are the least of the evils
of a street fair: that II is the wide-open
conditions which work harm for the COM
munity. They make the issue against the
street fair solely one of morals. To-day
some of the ministers talked about 1t. Rev.
Charles Tinsley, of the Centenary Methodist
Church, devoted his evening sermon to the
subject
