A~ SciiiillB Oi tue bridegroom NAV
be expected at any moment. The BIZ
Die distinctly says so. When Christ
comes as the Bridegroom he will come
as unexpectedly as thief in the night
at a place and at an hour when lie is
least expected. Rev. DIR. Wallace. late
American consul to Jerusalem. once
told me that nearly all the American
Christian residents OF the Davidic can
itai were living there in the belief that
when Christ should first appear upon
earth he would be seen standing among
the Judaean hills, and therefore they
were there waiting to welcome him,
But Christ when he comes will appear
unto us In America as well as though
we were in Europe or Asia or Africa.
Therefore, like old Robenk McCheyne
cry: Prepare, Prepare, Prepare
for the coming OF the Redeemer, for
the Son of Man cometh at an hour
when We think not"' VIII you now
prepare for the most momentous cry
of the ages: Behold the bridegroom
cometh. Go We out to meet him?"
Will you be prepared so that at his
glorious coming he can greet you and
take you into his banquet house and
lift over you the banner OF love?

NO FINAL DECISION IN
FAMOUS MERGER CASE
United States Supreme Court
Made No Announcement at
Mondays Sitting.

WASHINGTON. March 7-Contrary TO
expectations in some quarters, the United
States Supreme Court did not hand down
a decision in the Northern Securities Com
pany case to-day.
The court dismissed the case of Morris
Runkle VS.. United States Marshal Henkle'
of New York Runkle was indicted in the
Supreme Court of the District of Columbia
and was arrested in New York and held for
return to Washington. He sued out a writ
of habeas corpus but upon hearing the
writ was denied and he was held in $500
bail. To-day's order of dismissal was due
TO the fact that the record in the case was
not printed The effect of the order viii
be TO bring Runkle back to Washington for
trial. Runkle is charged with consplrlng
with Machen to defraud the government in
connection with the postoffice cases.
The court decided the case of the Owens
boro Water Works Company VS. the City OF
Owensboro, KY, in favor of the city. The
water company claimed exclusive right to
supply water TO the city.
Solicitor General Hoyt filed a motion
to dismiss the case of the United States VS..
Sing Tack and other Cinnamon held in
custody by the immigration officers of
northern New York. They claimed to be
citizens of the United States by virtue of
the fact that they were born in this coun-
try and therefore assert their right to
come in.

PREMIER BALFOUR
WAS READY TO EXPLAIN
House Satisfied and Voted Down a
Motion to Adjourn for
Purpose.

pOrtunity to relate the circumstances sur
rounding the designations from his Cabinet
last autumn, Mr.. BalfOur reviewed at
length the entire situation prior to and
after the crisis. He said he welcomed this
opportunity but failed to see a reason for
taking ~ the time of the country in dis
cussing a WORKOUT subject
Referring to his pamphlet which was
sent to the Cabinet members in August,
the premier turned his batteries on Lord
India, saying he had failed to deny the
statements attributed TO him until Mr..
Balfour had publicly declared them to be
totally untrue" In September came the
conclusion.
In conclusion the premier paid a tribute

assets of public life The motion of adj
jOurnment was negatived by vote of 237
to 172
Rumors were circulated in the lobby of
the House of Commons to-day that another
Cabinet crisis wits likely, and have been
made much of by the opposition. According
to these rumors, the crisis probably will in
volve the designations of Foreign Secretary
Landsdowne and Mr. Brodrick, secretary
FOX India, who strongly object TO the pro-
posals of the reorganization of the army.
1t is asserted that Premier Balfour appoint

displayed in Parliament recently because

LAFAYETTE, Ind, March 7--Purdue
and Indiana basketball teams clash in this
city next Saturday and on the outcome
hinges Purdue's claim to the state cham
pionship.
1ndiana's overwhelming defeat of the
Rose Polytechnic five, which Purdue de-
feated by narrow margin only, has caused
great alarm among Purdue's basketball
fans and if comparative scores count for
anything, Indiana University should win
from the Boilermakers. Should this hap
pen the Bloomington team and Purdue S
five would be tied for the state champion
ship. Purdue has already defeated Indiana
this year, but il was early in the season.
If Purdue loses this time a third game
between the two rivals will be arranged.
Captain Peck and his cripples are not over
confident. The loss of Hersch and Minor
has made it necessary to build up a new
team. Minor is at his home in Indianapolis
suffering from diphthera Hodson has TAX
en- his place on the team. Glover, the pole
vaulter, is playing in Hersch's place at
forward. This week will see some hard
practice in the Purdue gymnasium and it
is certain that the five will be much faster
than at present when it meets the strong
Indiana team.

ESTIMATES ON WORLDS
AGE BY PROF. LAWSON
Declares Three Million Years Have
Elapsed Since the First Up
lift Occurred.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. March
IA bulletin just issued by Professor Law
son. professor of geology in the University
of California, discloses interesting facts as
to the geological formation of this region
and gives also estimate of the time
necessary for these changes TO have taken
place. incidentally the age of the Sierra
Nevada mountains, the oldest part of Cal
ifornia. may be calculated from Professor
Lawson's conclusions According to his
estimates. nearly 100000 years have
elapsed since the beginning of quaternary
time, when the first great uplift took place
and raised that part of the mountain range
about $50 feet. Professor Lawson then di-
vides quaternary time into two periods
that. of the evolution of the high valleys,
following this upheaval and that of the
cutting of the present canyon system OF
the Sierra Nevadas. which followed a sec
ond and greater upheaval.

MAY TRY TO INFRINGE
THE MONROE DOCTRINE
French Syndicate Anxious to Grab
Territory Awarded to
Brazil in 1900.

WASHINGTON. March 7.-Regarding the
recent reports from Paris that syndicate
had been organized there and had pur-
chased four steamships for the purpose =
carrying a military expedition to the ter
ritory between the Oyapoo and Araguary
rivers it is understood that the Brazilian
government will resent any such action as
the sending of an expedition to what Is
claimed as Brazilian territory. 1t is this
territory which was awarded to Brazil in
December, 1900, by the Swiss government,
which acted as the arbitrator in the litiga-
ton over the territory and denied the French
claim to il. Ii is the belief of the Brazilian
government that any aggression on this
territory by France would constitute an
infringement of the Monroe doctrine, which
not only Brazil but the United States should
oppose.

FAvORS TYPESETTING
MACHINES FOR OFFICE
Mr.. Kennedy Believes Government
Printing Department Could Save
Money by Use
FEW OTHER ADVANTAGES

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March John L. Ken
nedy. formerly of Indianapolis, to-day
made an extended argument before the
House committee on appropriations in favor
of the introduction of typesetting ma
chimes into the government printing office.
He demonstrated that such an innovation
would annually effect a saving of thou
sands of dollars in the printing of public
documents, and that the Government Print
ing Office was the only institution of its
kind in the United States that had not
adopted modern methods in the composing
room Mr.. Kennedy who was formerly a
member of the Industrial Commission, and
who is connected with the typographical
Union of Washington, is at present the rep
resentatiye of one of the linotype compa-
MES. He claimed that the machine had
many advantages over hand work; that it
turned out cleaner work.. that a new
dress" was made possible each day; and
that the use of the machine substituted
metal at Z cents a pound for type at 40
cents and upward Mr.. Kennedy showed by
reports that the cost of running the Gov
eminent Printing Office has increased from
$3OO0,O00 in 1893, to more than $6,1S2,000 in
1903. ''Labor-saving devices" he said,
have been introduced in all the depart
ments of the office except the composing
rooms.
'Labor-saving machines do not disturb
the equanimity of organized labor" said
Mr.. Kennedy.
The argument for the use of typesetting
machines in the Government Printing Of
fee undoubtedly made an impression on the
committee. While expressing no opinion
on the subject, Chairman Hemenway said
he was convinced that the adoption of the
machine would materially lessen the cost of
public printing. This subject comes up in
connection with the sundry civil bill, which
will soon be reported to the House. Labor
leaders stoutly oppose the introduction of
the linotype in the Government Printing
Office.
