FUN ON A STREET CAR.
And This Nonsense Was Heard In
the Sedate and Sensible City
of Philadelphia.


On Walnut street car the other day,
says the Philadelphia Record, two women
" tTyeE ths oshs1 but
Mrs. Brown! How dye dor" How dye
da, Mrs: Green? l wasn't sure it was you
at first" Yes, it's me, all right. How's
Mr.. Brown" "Oh, he's all right. HoY's
Mr.. GIeen?'' He's all right, too. H5ws
the children?" They're all right. Hows
yourn:" They're all right"
There was slight pause, as though
neither knew what to say net. Suddenly
one had an inspiration. She giggled a
minute and then said: Say, my husband
asked me the other day what your first
name was, and to save my soul couldn't
tell him. What Is it?"
Then it was the -other woman's turn to
giggle. why, it's Millicent." she said.
'MIllicent?- How do you spell it," ooh,
it's an easy name. M-i-ll-i-c-e-n-t." "Well,
you can't never say you amt got cent
to your name, can you?"
A scream of laughter followed this wit
ticism, and they began to slap each on the
wrist.

Methodism," and Philip Embury, To-
cal preacher. This small band was fol-
lowed in 1865 by another party of Irish
"backslidden." Soon after the arrival
Of the second party, Barbara Heck en-
tered room and found number of
them playing cards. She snatched the
cards, and threw them into the fire,
and exhorted them to return to God.
She then went to Embury's house and
told him he must begin holding relig-
ious services, saying: you must
preach to us, or. we shall all go to hell
together, and God will require our
blood at your hands" Embury began
preaching at once, his first congrega-
ton consisting of five persons. A
Methodist society was formed and in
October, 176S, the first Methodist
church in America-John Street church
was dedicated.
Mr.. Wesley was informed of the rap
Id growth of Methodism in America,
begun and continued in this unofficial
manner, and was urged to send men
who could devote their whole time to
the work. In 1863 he sent Richard
Boardman and Joseph Pilmoor, and
two years later Francis Asbury and
Richard Wright. Asbury afterward
became the great leader. Many of the
preachers were so strong in their SYM
pathies with the king that when the
war of the revolution broke out, they
returned to England, leaving their
docks shepherdless. 1t became evident
that as a result of the war an indie
pendent Methodist church must be or
ganized. BY authority Of Wesley a
conference of all the preachers was
held at Baltimore, Md. December "a,
1854. This is known as the Christ
mas Conference" BY 1t was organ

Referring to the early Methodist
preachers President Roosevelt, in an
address at New York, February 26, 1903,
said: "Since the days of the revolu-

has played peculiar and important
part in the pioneer growth of our coun-

Alleghenies, which has been added to

der, with it's grim struggle against the
forbidding forces of wild nature and
wilder men, there was much to pull
the ,frontiersman down. If left to him
self, without moral teaching and moral
guidance, without any of the influences
that tend toward the uplifting of man
and the subduing of the brute within
him, sad would have been his, and
therefore our, fate. From this fate we
have been largely rescued by the fact
that together with the rest of the pio-

TWENTY-FOUR ROUNDS
OF VERY FAST BOXING
Very Entertaining Fistic Pro-
gramine to Be Given at the
Auditorium Rink.
MEN WILL ARRIVE TO-DAY

Twenty-four rounds of the fastest kind Of
boxing will be offered to the lovers Of the
fistic game at the Auditorium tomorrow
evening. The indianapolis Athletic Club
has arranged a programme of four bouts
that should furnish plenty of action and
interest during the evening. The main bout
will bring together Otto Sielof and George
Memsic. two very clever and hard-hitting
lightweights Of Chicago. and the semi
windup of six rounds will be between Rollo
kid Emig. OF Columbus. and the Ca
madam Kid" of Indianapolis. The club has
not overlooked the preliminary card, and
two very fast four-round curtain-raisers
will be offered. In one of these bouts Wal
ter Griffith, of Fortville will meet Sam
Young. a very clever local boxer. The
other preliminary will bring together two
of the best local lads.
All of the principals are now in shape for
the contests. Interest, of course. centers
in the main contest of ten ROUNDS. and the
Indianapolis friends Of Sieloff pick him as
a winner. as they know his ability and
have never seen Memsic In the ring. They
believe Sieloff will be able to land few of
his right and left swings that will take the
boxing aspirations out Of Memsic. The rec
ord of the latter. however, shows that he
is not be underestimate, he has fought
a six-round draw with Young Corbett and
only recently boxed six-round draw with
Sielof In Chicago, the bout being one Of
the fastest ever pulled off in the Windy
City. They will go for decision. and un-
less the bout should end decisively for one
of them before the expiration of the tenth
round the spectators will see thirty min
utes of very fast milling.
Great interest has been taken in the
bouts. The men will be here by tomorrow
night and will be ready to weigh in at
Tyler's at o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Seats are on sale at Tyler's II West Market
street.

two-base hit and single. His two home
runs were the longest hits ever made on

work IN the box, striking out thirteen men
and allowing only four scattered hits. For
