FAST ST. LOUIS SERVICE
VANDERBILT LINES WILL PUT on
TWO FAST TRAINS LATER.
Paving the Way to Unity the st. Louis
a San Francisco and the Chicago
a Eastern Illinois.

There is excellent authority for stating
that the Vanderbilts are quietly arranging
for the installation OF two new New York
81. Louis limited trains, in addition to the
through trains that will be put in service
on June D. No official announcement has
been made of this intention, but the of
ficials of the Big Four and the Lake Shore
nave received such information in a way
which proved its correctness. These trains
VIII be ready for service in the latter part
or June, when heavy travel to the exposi-
ton is expected to begin. They will leave
New York at different hours of the day
and make the trip to st. Louis in much the
same time that the new limited will re-
qure for the run. 1t is probable, however,
that the speed of the new trains will be a
little faster. Equipment for these trains
is now building in the Pullman Company's
shops, on lines similar to the equipment
In Use on the Twentieth Century and Lake
Shore Limited. 1t is understood that one
OF these fast trains Will be continued after
the exposition and run on the same time
as Is the famous Twentieth Century Linz
tied. From all indications the ST. Louis
business over the the Vanderbilt lines
will exceed expectations. Early in the
spring, when the additional service for the
falr was under discussion. it was thought
that one extra train with one extra coach
on regular trains would accommodate the
extra business, but it is now believed this
was erroneous, and arrangements nave
been made for two more trains Present
trains are crowded in both directions be-
lore the exposition business has fairly set
iii. The new train will be run over the
route OF all the New York-St. Louis trains,
namely, the New York Central, the Lake
Shore and the Big Four.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, May 10.-The cotton market
opened at an advance of to points in
sympathy with slightly better cables than
expected During the forenoon II ruled
very quiet but about steady in the absence
of pressure, with prices fluctuating within
a range of about 4 or points. AT mid
day. however, the weekly report of the
Weather Bureau, showing a quite general
Improvement in cotton crop conditions over
the belt. Notwithstanding the private ad-
vices claiming damage by continued cold
weather, caused active liquidation, and the
market sold TO a net loss of about TO IA
points on the more active months under
liauidation.. The decline to around 1S.50c
for July however, attracted considerable
buying of that position by various spot
houses and shorts, including some of the
interests who were credited with stopping
MAY notices, and in the late trading the
market was rallied a few points, being
finally quiet at a net decline of to u
points. Sales were estimated at 100000
bales of which by far the greater proper
ton was made this afternoon

Ecclesinsticus and Christian Science

To the Editor OF the Indiana polls Journal:
On the eth inst the Journal copied an
article under the bold headline, "Ecclesias-
ticus Settles Christian Science" stating
that "an English priest" who had spent
some time in indianapolis. was in the habit
of designating American Bibles as mutt
lated editions, because as rule, the
apochrypha is omitted" And then the
article quotes from the 3Sth chapter of
the apochryphal book of Ecclesasticus,
in which occur several verses which praise
medicines dug out of the earth and the
physicians who use them Upon this as
the sole basis therefore. the article pro-
claims that this chapter in Ecclesasticus
would seem TO settle forever the question
of science miscalled Christian. "
Hardly: The undersigned begs to SUBJ
nit the following reasons why Ecclesiasti-
Gus does not settle Christian Science
Ecclesiasticus is the title of a book
placed by Protestants and Jews mot by
ings The English priest abusively
styles the Protestant Bibles, under the de-
ceptive name of American Bibles" ''mu-
tilated editions" of the Holy Scriptures
The author of Ecclesiastcus calls himself
sJesus the son of Srach. Originally COM
posed in Aramaic. the book was translated
into Greek by the supposed grandson of
the supposed author. supposedly about the
third or fourth century before Christ's adj
vent.
The apochrypha were not written in He
brew. like the books of the Old Testament
which the Jews admitted genuine re-
jecting the apochrypha as not being en-
Titled to any place in their sacred writings
Besides the apochrypha there are many
spurious books which have never been
admitted 10 a place in the Bible The Greek
Christian Church excluded the apochrypha
a spurious in $50 of the Christian era at
the council OF LaOdicea- They were never
admitted by the Church OF Rome until
1916. by a decree of the Council OF Trent
The Anglican Church says THE church
does not apply them 10 establish any
doctrine" And IL is Protestant Bibles,

English priest denounces as ''mutilated
editions" because they omit the apochry-
pha. including Ecclesiasticus.

UNION STOCKYARDS, Indianapolis,
May 10.-While the receipts of hogs to-day
were larger than they have been for some
time past. the quality and condition of the
offerings were more satisfactory than for
a few days past, on account of there being
a larger proportion of good, heavy hogs.
The market opened with a better demand
from outside sources than there has been
for few days, and. with a steady demand
from local butchers and strong COMPETE
ton for the good medium to heavy grades,
this class sold promptly from the start at
a general advance of about &c in prices
The demand for light hogs was not aggres-
sIve, but the supply was probably no larger
than required, and strong average prices
were secured, while occasionally there was
possibly a little advance. With packers
and shippers buying, and a good demand
from all sources, IL did not require long TO
exhaust the morning receipts, and there
was no quotable change suffered in prices
as compared with the opening. A little less
than 1,0o0 arrived on late trains, but they
were fully up 10 the days average in quail
ity and condition, and, with all buyers still
IN the field. a clearance was made on a
basis of firm prices compared with the
opening. Sales of the day ranged from
$40 TO s495 and the bulk of the supply
sold at AS0d4.0. Quotations:
