visits to the poor and needy, those who
might be helped and benefited by their
ministrations. II sewing was done by the
club and articles of wearing apparel were
produced by that process for those in need
OF things TO wear. these members of the
club were of opinion that they should take
tnem, In person, TO the women and children
for whom they were designed.
A small but active minority of the men,
bers OF the club were willing to occupy a
part of their time with such deeds of mercy
as the sewing of baby's dresses and the
manufacture Of aprons and doilies for in
digent old women but they objected to the
personal bestowal of such favors on the
poor unfortunates for whom they were de-
signed. Such close contact with the great
masses OF the common people was not to
their liking. and they were not slow to ex-
press themselves. They thought there were
enough charity organizations and societies
In the city to do the bestowal act for them
and that they would much prefer the proxy
plan 10 the giving in person method
A wordy war .ensued between those in
favor of the close contact campaign and
those preferring the long distance method of
work. The war lasted for an hour and a
half. II ended with the declaration of an
armistice and compromise. IT was decid-
ed that those OF the club members who
wished to bestow the light OF their pres
ence upon the benighted ones of Indianapo-
lis could do so and that those who preferred
to stay at home and allow their light to
shine through their work-in the hands OF
other people-could do so.

CANNOT DOMINATE PORT
Canada Thinks America Will Not
Fortify Islands.

VICTORIA, B. c.. Dec. 14.-Lord Dundon-
aid, commander-in-chief of the Canadian
forces, to-day returned from Port Simpson
and vicinity, where he went to look over
the situation with respect to the report that
the United States intended to fortify Sitkan
and Kannaghunut islands. He visited both
islands and also Pearse and Wales islands,
which were both awarded to Canada, and the
Kitamaat and Work canal, on which the
terminus for the Transcanadian Railroad
has been suggested.
Lord Dundonald declined to talk OF his
visit, but from others in the party ii was
learned that he regards Sitkan and Kan
naghunut islands unable to dominate
Port Simpson If fortified. Vessels pass close
to these islands when entering Port Simp-
son, but Wales island is so much higher
that q fort there would make any FORTH
cation on the United States islands untena-
BILE.

LECTURES FOR POOR.
Father Vaughn Gives Benefit for
Poor Boys of His Parish.

Father L. j. Vaughan, Of Eau Clare,
Wis, priest of the Lacrosse diocese, de-
livered an eloquent address on Tine
Power of Love- last night before large
and appreciative audience in the knights
of Columbus Hall under the auspices or
the knights of Columbus. Rev. Vaughan
is considered one of the ablest drama tic
orators among the ministers OF the Catho-
lie Church in the United States and he has
a direct way of addressing his audience
that compels attention.
Rev. Vaughan dwelt upon the power OF
love as a motive for doing great, noble and
self-sacrificing deeds. The love of which he
spoke was not the conjugal love, the love
of husband and wife, but the love of the
Creator.
The address was given for the benefit of
the poor boys of Father Vaughan's diocese
and the compensation received last night
Will be used in that worthy cause.
