Golovin Home, Jan S.-Let me bring to you and the readers of THE NUGGET New Year greeting from the Golovin Home.
 The past year has been remarkable one in the history of mission work among tho Eskimos Never before have such a revival among these people and such change of life. Hundreds of them have come to mission earnest and anxious to know the right and wrong. An old man who had two wives, said to me last winter "Our condition in life is if have been asleep and did not know anything, but have been dreaming away tho time. But now have been walked up and see our reepon- sbity and reality in life'
 The shamans medicine mon, have como to and confessed their wrong doing in fooling their people with their supposed medicine work which they themselves did not believe would help
 young Christian native writes about these med- cine men and the old religion of the Eskimos fol- lows: "The religion of the Eskimos is the fear of the devil. Our defenders these medicine msn They tell that they have power tho evil spirit so they can mediate between him and us, and there fore, they called in onr language 'toonaraligt,' which means the men with power over tho devil. A sick man is willing to give almost anything, and in many cases, everything he has to the medicine men that he, through him, may get hslp against the indu- ence of the evil spirits which he thinks arc tho cause

Tho body is then covered with warus skin and carried onequarer of mile outside the village, where it s laid upon tho ground. Some wood is raised up around the body with openings to give the dead one chance to soc the light and Do happy at the sunshine"
 The last two years ten of these medicine men have been converted and baptized. They all have their sad story to tell from their experience in life. They have never found satisfaction with all thsir old super. stiton, and they have . rule, not believed in it for any length of time. As they have seen how use' less their work has been they have lost faith in it. but have kept because the people have believed in it, and have called upon them in of sickness These men, since they have been leaders of tho people in former years in heathsnism, arc now looked up tc as leaders in Christian way.

COUNCIL MEETS TO-DAY
ON EXECUTIVES SUMMONS
Brewery Tax, Telephone Ordi-
nance and Financial Transfer
VIII Be Considered by Body.
POLICEMEN WANT RAISE

Mayor Hoffman has issued a call for
special meeting of the Council to-day to
consider, among other things. the brewery
license ordinance on which the finance COM
mittee is ready TO report. The transfer OF
almost $4,000 to the general fund for the
payment of firemen will also be authorized.
The mayor is DESTROYS of having these
claims settled and has asked the finance
committee to introduce the ordinance.
The committee will also report on the
electric-lighting contract which has TO be
ratified by the City Council An ordinance
giving permission TO the New Telephone
Company to lease its ownings to the Indian
apolis Telephone Company will be intro
duced to-day.
1t is understood that the ordinance pro-
viding for the increase in the pay of the
policemen Will be amended at the meeting
so that the increase of salaries may take
effect on Jan. /, 1905 1t is said many coun-
cilmen will support the ordinance. Mayor
Hoffman said that since no provision was
made for the raising OF salaries when the
appropriation was first made, ii will be i'm
possible TO increase the pay of the police
men.
Many policemen believe that since the
firemen have secured a raise they are en-
titled to one. There is some talk about
taking steps TO enforce the ordinance passed
several years ago and providing that pa
trolmen be paid for overtime services.
This ordinance had become practically obso-
Most of the councilmen were not aware
that there was such an ordinance.

Nine Years Elapsing Since He Es-
poused Christianity, William
Green Celebrates Occasion.
WIFE JOINS IN THANKS

From a drunkard 10 a man respected in
his community and a leading worker in the
Rescue Mission.
This is the story told of the change in his
life by William Green. Nine years ago last
January, knowing that on the next day he
would be elected with his wife and two lit
tie children from the shabby two little
rooms they occupied for nonpayment of
yent--Creen was induced TO go to the Rescue

That night proved to be the turning point
in his life as we'll as in the life OF his
wife
At the mission last night the man, now
prosperous. celebrated what he termed his
ninth anniversary, and his wife shared his
happiness Green told the congregation of
the life he led before his conversion by the
Rev. r. v. Wheeler, who started the Rescue
Mission
Since his conversion the man has learned

fore his death, became of the hard

PASTOR PRAISES WORK
IN INDIANAPOLIS SLUMS
Tribute Paid by the Rev. Worth
NJ. Tippy-Sociological Condi-
tons Are Discussed.
LOCAL HOUSES PRAISED

THE residential quarter of a great city
is the definition which Or. Worth NJ.
Tippy, of the Broadway Methodist Church,
gave of the slums last night in inter
esting lecture illustrated by stereopticon
views.
Although the problem of every form of
business has been revolutionized within the
last ten years, the problem of the church
remains unchanged as well as unsolved.
Only within the last few years have the
different churches begun to grapple with
the missionary work of the Sums, said
the speaker. They have found that they
must accommodate themselves to the con-
ditions of this life so full of distressing
conditions and skepticism
They have found that they require a lot
of money to provide places more fascinat-
ing than glaring streets and gilded saloons.
The Y. Nj. G. A, which sends out its
workers through the slums to draw wan
derers TO furnished rooms where peace and
comfort may attend them while the gospel
of Christ may be preached them, is my ideal
conception of a Christian organization fer
boys and men. Then let there be an ele-
gantly equipped church with beautiful
music and subdued lights where the slum
element may cOngregate. This ministry of
the beautiful will influence them as moth
ing else will. Remember that the Trinity
consists of the beautiful as well as of the
good and the true"
The Rev. Mr.. Tippy then gave an iliu-
strated lecture in which he spoke about
the great churches and parish houses in
New York and London, and the work be-
ing done in them. In New York he said
that the Episcopal Church was the chief
promoter of the good work. while in Lon
don and throughout England the Methodist
Church took the most aggressive part.
In reference to the slum question in rela-
ton to Indianapolis he said: THE churches
have so admirably adapted themselves tC
the situation that they have destroyed the
seeds Of the many slum elements which
have been sown in Indianapolis before they
could bear fruit.
''One strong influence which we must
counterfeit is that exerted by the great
number of slums and houses of ill-famt
which are right in the heart of the resi-
Dental quarter of the respectable working.
men. This is what the church en- mass'
is now fighting and although the fight j:
long and hard the church must win.
by numerous agencies the good work Is
| pushed on-the Mccall Mission and Mr.
Wheeler's Mission the South Side, or
| Pennsylvania street. These are places where
| the hand of God is stretched out TO say,
| and thro ugh their help the present church
| militant feels confident of a victorious end.

MAN IS FATALLY CRUSHED
UNDER CAR At DANGER SPOT
Body, Flowing Deep Furrow Be
tween Rails, Is Horribly Man
gled, End Being Instant.
SCENE OF FORMER DEATH
Victim Received Warning but a
Moment Previous to Look
Out for Car"

George Cutshaw, aged ffty-two years,
a carpenter living at 1901 Morris street
West Indianapolis, was run down by a
West Indianapolis street car between Hard
ing and Blaine streets at s o'clock last
night. The car was No. 1S4. in charge Of
Motorman ]. L. Bowler and Conductor E.
S. Marlowe.
The scene of Cutshaw's death is but a
few hundred feet from his home. He had
just left the house and was crossing the
tracks between Harding and Blaine streets
when struck by the car. approaching from
the north at high speed.
He was thrown under the trucks and
dragged hundred feet his body blowing
deep furrow in the ground between the
rails. The body was wedged so tightly
under the trucks that it was impossible to
move it either way without further crush
ing the body. A wreck car was called and
the car raised before the body could be
extricated.
Forty minutes elapsed after the accident
before the dead man was taken from under
the car.
Cutshaw was probably killed instantly.
The body was badly mutilated. the skull
and chest being crushed and the limbs
mangled.
There are no lights within several squares
of Harding street, at the scene of the
fatality and the track being on a slight
grade, cars run down the roadway at high
speed. About a year ago Mitchell Raridon
was killed at the same point by a West
| Indianapolis car.
Motorman Bowler said that he did not
see Cutshaw in time to stop his car. A
few seconds previous to the accident Cut
| shaw was warned by a man standing on
| sidewalk look
/ wind was blowing sharply and Cutshaw
had his hat pulled down over his eyes. 1t
| is supposed he did not see the car until
/ too late.
| Cutshaw employed at the Indian
/ apolis abbattoir. He leaves wife and five
children.

WOMAN ADDRESSES
IN AUDIENCE OF MEN
"ManlinesS of Christ" Subject OF
Semi Sermon Delivered Sun
day at Y. M. c. A.

1.-The Manlness of Jesus was the sub
ject of a very practical talk given by Miss
Bette Beebe at the Y NJ. c. A yes
terday afternoon. Miss Beebe has a very
pleasing manner, together with an ability
of bringing out and impressing her hearers
with the points she wishes to emphasize
"A man among men is the conception
want you to have of Christ" she said. "A
man able to cope with men, a strong man
who closely associated with men and un-
derstood their follies as we'll as appreciated
their strength is our Savior Jesus Christ.
1.-The great majority of the pictures of
Christ make you think he was weak. Those
long slender arms and frail hands, that
drawn-out emaciated face convey the
impression of a highly developed spiritual
type unable to stand out and fight the bat
ties of life But | want you TO think of
II want you to read the Bible carefully.
and you will think OF Him as such. You
will see that in every respect you can match
will show you that Christ is the manifest
man among them all.
Fight clear of the idea that He was a
fearful man. The Bible records only two
instances of Jesus ever weeping and we
ourselves would have wept just the same
One was over the body of his dear friend
Lazarus, and the other was when He fore
saw the destruction of Jerusalem Christ
was kind and gentle with children as every
man is.
SHOW me man whose manhood Is sup
posed to have left him, and L will show
you a spark of it that can never disap-
pear. When a man, be he a brute or a
saint, puts his hand a child's head he
is humble and penitent.
What / want you to do Is to bring
Christ right into your life. He is just as
closely connected with it as He was with
the life of the Pharisees.
Make Him your example of a manly man,
aim at becoming as near like Him a S pos

a model which will inspire you with all that
is best-physically. intellectually, morally
