POOR HOUSE
HIS CHOICE
Its Friendly Shelter Sought by Former
Heavy Taxpayer.

CHICAGO, May ia dispatch to
the Tribune from indianapolis, says:
William Hendrick, a pioneer citizen
of Madison County, and once the larg-
est land owner in the State, was yes
terday admitted to the friendly shelter
of the poor house. Years ago when
Mr.. Hendrick was rich man he got
the idea that the Bible had been pur-
posely made mysterious, and he set
about to revise it. This work absorb
ed him completely, and for years his
business was neglected and his prop
erty slipped through his hands
He had settled his sons on fine
farms, and they offered to care for
him in his old age, but he refused,
saying that it would be no imposition
upon the county if he went to the poor
house, since ne had once been it's
heaviest taxpayer.

GREAT UNION
SERVICE
WILL BEGIN IN COLUMBIA ABOUT
JUNE f.-cEFVlcES CT REV.
GEORGE GATES, CT LOUIS
VILE, SECURED.
HAS BEEN EMINENTLY
SUCCESSFUL.

At the regular meeting of the Pas
tors Association of Columbia Monday.
the question of great union service
for Columbia was thoroughly discussed
and it was the opinion of the pastors

sent the matter to the various church
boards.
This plan was carried out and the
laymen comprising the church boards
endorsed the plan and appointed com
mittees from each church to meet and
make the necessary plans for the ser
vice.
These committees met Wednesday
night at the Y. M. c. A. and after or
ganizing, appointed a committee on
location, committee on tent, etc.
Rev. Spencer Tunnel reported that

KY, pastor of one of the Louisville
churches who has done a great amount
of evangelistic work, and who has been
eminently successful. That he had writ
ten to a number of cities and towns
where Rev. Gates has held meetings
and the same report came from all.
That he is eloquent, powerful in spir-
itual influence and his meetings have
not only been largely attended, but
have resulted in great good. At a
meeting held by Mr.. Gates in Pa
ducah, KY, there were more than 1000
additions to the various churches. Mr.
Gates has also held a meeting at Ok
ford, Miss, and the Methodist pastor
there, writing TO Rev. ]. w. Cherry
here, reports fine results and gives
Mr.. Gates very high endorsement
Mr.. Gates wrote Mr.. Tunnel that
he could come to Columbia about

PREVENTION OF
CHURCH UNION
TO BE VIGOROUSLY FOUGHT FOR
BY c. p. LoYALISTS-MEET-
ING AT DECATUR, ILL.

DECATUR, ILL, May 16.-Judge
William Reister, of Evansville, Ind;
Maj. G. V. Menzies, of Mount Vernon,
Ind; Judge G. B. Green, of Mount Car
mel, ILL.,, and other "loyalists" opposing
union of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Churches, went into conference here
today to complete a petition for in
junction restraining the General AS
sembly of the Cumberland Presbyter-
ians, which meets Thursday from eff
fecting the proposed union.
The grounds for the application are
that money with which the Cumber-
land Presbyterian property was pur-
chased, was given for the promulga-
tion and perpetuation of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian doctrines and that
said property is not to be diverted to
any other use; that the church has no
constitutional right to give itself away,
and that there are errors in the man.
ner in which the arrangements for the
proposed union were made.
During the day the petition for an
injunction was finished by the loyal
lists. The petition consists of about
10000 words. 1t gives a complete
history of the movement for union
and asserts that the Cumberland Pres
byterian Church has no authority to
consider union. Therefore, all pro-
ceedings on that line are ineffective.
The doctrines and history of the two
churches are given at length.
The attorneys for the loyalists have
agreed with attorneys for the union
lists, headed by Judge John M. Gaut,
of Nashville, Tenn, that the petition
for the injunction shall be presented
to Judge Johns Friday morning. Judge
Johns has announced that he will i'm
mediately begin the hearing and con-
tinue it till the matter is disposed of
as far as his court is concerned.

WEDDING PRESENTS.

AS soon as May had named the day
She issued invitations
To all the crew our mothers knew
(Including poor relations).
We were aware they all would swear
In language far from pleasant,
"Confound It! l shall have to bny
The blessed pair a present"
Then boy and man in cart and van
And motor car came driving,
With gifts galore, and more and more,
And still they kept arriving;
And housemaids few, and postmen too,
Till all the terrace wondered,
And night and day they rang away
Lord! how the knocker Numbered.
We worked in shifts upon the gifts,
And when we had unstrung them
We'd twenty scores Of forks and more,
But not knife among them;
And as we two had scarce a sou
There seemed to be caret
When silly mugs gave claret jugs
But not a drop of claret.
Wed endless gongs and sugar tongs
OF every shape and fashion,
AS IL sweet tea was bound to be
Henceforth our ruling passion.
We'd sachet, too, of pink and blue
With sickly perfumes scented,
And oh, the show of art nouveau
With which we were presented!
And now we've got the little lot
We're under obligation
To every guest we most detest
And every poor relation
And by the time the church bells chime
And hymen ties the true knot
We find-too late-we've all we hate
And nothing that we do not.
