one dieests and assimilates that makes him
strong in both, as In material life. The
school problem and the church problem
is to put the young and plastic-minded in
the habit and attitude to digest and assim-
ilate intellectual and moral truth and not
to gorge and cram beyond powers of diges-
tion and assimilation. Both are trying to
do this with marked success in thousands
of instances and / think with present eff
cheney the failures are greatly exceptional,
but one crime and one criminal makes
more noise in the world than a thousand
just persons. But in saying this 1T must
be apparent to all that there is room for
Improvement i'm the methods for increasing
intellectual and moral digestion and assim-
ilation of the truths which enter into our
mental and spiritual fiore The wide read
ing of condensed historical fact touching
human experience and more concrete teach
ing of the gospels of Jesus Christ for both
intellectual and moral training will help
As respects the genuine millions of pure
life and character found in the church
statistics show conclusively that 80 per
cent. has come through the Sunday school
and church nursery of the young, just as
the faithful teachers i'm our public schools
are sending the thousands through TO high

New interpretations.

The indianapolis & Southwestern Traction
Company QorInerly the indianapolis, Mar
tinsville & Southern Railroad Company
yesterday took TIE first steps toward the
building and equipment of the longest cleo
trio interurban railroad In Indiana, 1t is
said by prominent members of the company.
Articles showing an increase in capital
stock from $4,000 to 500 O00-S6O0 900 COM
mon and $4,000 per cent. preferred-were
fled with the Secretary of State. The
articles also give notice of the change In
name and the enlarged scope of the COM
pany. Large amounts of foreign capital
have been interested in the company and
the line will be built to Evansville. through
Martinsville and Vincennes. When the
company first organized all the capital in
terested was local and the purpose was 10
build only TO Martinsville. Under the new
organization Evansville will be the southern
terminus. with this city the northern. 1t
was given out by n prominent member of
the company last night that all the capital
had been subscribed.
The line 10 Martinsville will be completed
and i'm operation by Jan. l, 1895, il was
announced The capitalization will then be-
increased TO a large enough figure-perhaps
81 10000 1900. Geo. II is said-to extend the
line on to Evansville. The route to Evans
'vnle has not yer been surveyed entirely.
and IL cannot be told just how long the
road will be when completed but that il
will be the longest electric line in the State,
the promoters OF the project say there Is
no doubt The articles filed with Secretary
OF State are signed by Albert w. Moore,
secretary of the company.
Including the Indianapolis & Southwest
ern's Increase OF $4,000 the companies in
corporated yesterday have an aggregate
capitalization OF Sl.79o.c00. The incorpora-
ton fees paid TO the Secretary of State from
these concerns amounted 10 little more
than 81. 100 This week has been one of the
largest during the present year in the way
of Incorporation fees. Including the bus
mess to-day and tomorrow the fees will
amount TO something like $1,000 for the.
week, Ii Is thought.

"some Christian Science Figures,

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
In your issue of last Sunday is copied an
article from the New York Independent, a
professedly religioues periodical, which
rsatirizes Christian Science for the remark

members of the Christian Science Church
at Boston is remarkably small 1t correctly

would have remained no basis for its insin-

ind Profits-Od Man Cheers
News or the Courts.

The fret and second petitions Of the plant
III in the case Of Frederick s. Chase against
Charles Duhnfc and Ophelia Duhme were
filed in the Federal Court yesterday They
involve the dealings Of the Duhmes lii the
requirement Of the property of Moses Fowl
cr Chase. The petitions state that young
Chase was declared insane before he left
the sanitorium at Flint, Mich, and that
after that time the Duhmes, through false
representation, usurped the property OF
Chase and the use OF his rents and profits
To the amount of $4,000 1t is also stated
that since that time, which was in 1895, the
Duhmes have failed to pay the rents on the
property. and are now withholding all the
rents and profits arising from the land and
the property on them. The bills ask that
the Duhmes be enjoined from asserting any
right to have or receive the rents and IN
comes and also from interfering in the man
asement and control Of the property.

OLD MAN CHEERED.


Three cheers were given by old Joseph
Hambright in the Criminal Court when he
heard that George Lawson had been sem
fenced by Judge Afford for from one to
fourteen years for horse stealing. The old
fellow is very deaf and was compelled 10
ask Detective Kinney TO tell him the YER
dict, and heard only the fourteen, so he
gave vent to his satisfaction by cheering.
Some time ago George Lawson stole
morse from Hambright, for whom ne mao
been working. drove il to Indianapolis and
sold IT, He then boldly returned to Ham
brightis home and told him that he had
found the horse In livery barn and that
It would take 81 to pay for his feed and get
him out. The old man believed him, and
the two came TO Indianapolis and Ham,
bright gave Lawson 81 to get the horse.
Lawson started to get the stolen horse,
leaving the old man standing on the cor
ner while he pretended to go TO the livery
barn. After waiting about half day for
Lawson TO return the old man concluded
that he had been fooled and complained to
the police He would have been there wait
ing still, for Lawson never returned. Law
son has been before Judge Afford before.

and freight agent of the Mobile, Jack

course of conversation on the pres

''I want people to come here, of
course, and there's land for them all !;
but I want those who do come to be
satisfied have watched this thing
very closely, and find that the North
ern man comes down here i'm
bued with the idea that this is a
country of the most prolific soil and
the cheapest labor. He buys or
homesteads place, and while finding
the land firstclass, everything else is
different from what he is accustomed
to. He cannot depend upon the Ia
Dor; he does not understand the eli
mate, and often fails in producing
crops for which he may have been IA

schools, churches and society generally
are different. So the first thing one

position of President Roosevelt on the
negro question is helping the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Vardaman. There can
be no doubt that the presidential view
of such matters will bring many votes
to him. Vardaman has developed
into first-class orator and has made
some excellent speeches during his
campaign, and his position upon the
negro question has taken the state
strongly, supported as it is by the rad
ical holdings of the president.
