NEGLIGEE DRESS AT CHURCH
Men In Shirt Sleeves, Women Bare
headed and In Shirt Waists.

Men In Shirt Sleeves, Women Bare
headed and In Shirt Waists.
There was a decided innovation In
the attire OF ladies and gentlemen at
church the other day when 200 business
men Of Alexandria, Ind, and all the
women Of the congregation appeared
at the Main Street Methodist church,
the largest in the city. in negligee cos
tunes. the men being in their shirt
sleeves and the ladies in shirt waists,
says an Alexandria dispatch. All
promptly removed their hats when they
reached their pews. Some of the ladies
came bareheaded and all sat barehead-
ed during the services.
The change was brought about at q
meeting on recent Sunday after
noon, when it was proposed to the
congregation that during the heated
term the male members should appear
without coats. The advocates Of the
new departure said that the most IN
comfortable day Of the week to them
was Sunday, made so by the enforced
wearing Of coats to Sunday school and
the religious services that followed.
They said they We're accustomed to
dcf their coats when reaching their
places of business during the week and
many Of the merchants and others
waited on customers in their shirt
sleeves.
They were extremely uncomfortable
in church on Sunday and they proposed
that a resolution be adopted that no
coats be worn. This was heartily
agreed 10. and the male members Of the
congregation appeared at all the serl-
ices in their shirt sleeves. The women
heard Of the proposed action and wore
shirt waists and took OF their hats.

CHRIST CASTING OUT DEVILS.
By Rev. G.. Tabor Thomps


Text-'Go home to thy friends, and
tell them how great things the Lord
hath done for thee. Mark v 10.
am glad that we have Savior who
has power over devils. There are peo-
pie in our day who are demon possess
ed. Would that we had the power to
cast out devils! When the Master sent
the disciples out in the early days Of
the church to preach the Gospel every
where, he gave them power to heal the
sick and to cast out devils. The church
has wandered so far from the Lord Je-
sus that now we have no power to cast
out these demons. But Christ still has
this power, yea, even to this day.
The Master wants to heal souls on
the right hand and on the left, and
send them, not on to the rostrum but
into the home to tell their friends the
wonderful things that the Lord hath
done for them and what wonderful
things the Lord can do for lost souls.
This devil Of theft is getting a ter
rible hold on the American people. If
you will stop for moment to think of
1t, 1t Is perfectly awful. Not great
store in Pittsburg, in Philadelphia, In
New York City, in Brooklyn, in Boston,
In San Francisco, or anywhere in the
United States to-day, but must employ
private detectives to watch these light
fingers; and in nine cases out of ten
they are women. Why? Just for the
reason that the devil can use the wom-
ans costume to better advantage than
a mans. A woman can hide under her
shawl or dOlman that which a man
could not get into his pocket. So the
detectives are watching for those light
fingers
My friends, If you have had any de-
sire In your life to steal, or If some
times In your life and experience you
laid hands on that which was not
yours, If you have repented, If you have
restored to your neighbor that which is
his, If the Lord has healed you and If
you have no more desire for that which
Is not yours, go home to your friends
and tell them what great things the
Lord hath done for you.

Topeka.-'This Is one of the great
est II not the greatest, years In Kan
sas' history" said Secretary Coburn,
the famousscore keeper for the States
prosperity, to Topeka correspondent
the other day. ''The farmers are getI
ting the best Of It No mOrtals on
earth anywhere are SO well prepared
for happiness"
He had just completed his estimate
Of practically 10O,0O00O0 bushels of
high grade wheat as the crop of tho
State this year. And this great crop
the greatest raised by any State In the
nation-comes not after famine, but
as the climax Of seven prosperous
years in which debts have been paid.
mortgages Cancelled, improvements Of
every sort added.
They are saving their wheat money.
Much Of It Is going into banks. The
State has bank to every 1884 people,
more than any other State. Hundreds
of them have farmers for shareholders
chiefly. Their only difficulty Is to find
places TO loan the deposits.
One country bank with $4,000 capi-
tai recently had 100000 deposits, and
three-fourths of this in cash, because
no one in the neighborhood wanted to
borrow it 1t was in the heart of the
wheat belt where 20 new banks have
been chartered in the past 90 days.
But they are getting good things out
Of life, too. Why not with $60,0O0,O0O
In cash for single crop?
Ten years ago a house furnace was
rare In Kansas. Now the hardware
and plumbing wagons are scattered
through the country setting up fur
naces In farmers houses. Same way
with bath tubs, same way with tele-
phones, rubber-tired buggies, pianos
(not organs as of old) and all the
multitude Of things that go to make up
prosperity.
In one little town 300 monographs
have been sold in the past year, at $50
to 500 each. In that county are 1000
farmers telephones-two of the 25 ru-
raj mail carriers make their trips dai-
ly In automobiles. Every farm has
daily mail; covered wagons take chill
dren to union schools.
Wheat money Is "velvet" more than
any other the Kansas farmer receives.
Only 1,650,00O people live In Kansas
though more are coming rapidly be-
cause of the promise of competency.
This is about the same as Philadelphia
has. They have put $129OOO,OOO in
the banks and areaddingto the amount
regularly. Think what it means to
dump S6O,OOO,OO0 in cash into the State
from one crop alone.

India's material development in the
last half-century is Illustrated in the
growth of the cotton industry in the
Bombay Presidency, its chief center.
The first mill was built fifty years ago.
There are now one hundred and ninety
seven mills, and fifteen or twenty more
are under contraction, with over five
million spindles, employing two hun
dred thousand operatives, and consum-
ing one and three-quarters million
bales of cotton. They produce nearly
six hundred million pounds of yarn,
half Of which Is exported to China and
other foreign countries. The dark side
of the picture Is the condition Of the
mill handsaand their wages. The work
ing hours In most of the mills are from
sunrise to sunset and there Is a grow
Ing tendency among some Of the mill
owners to prolong the. hours of labor
BY the installation of electric light. In
these mills the same set of hands work
from fve In the morning till eight at
night. with only half an hour for rest.
The hands are paid by the piece, and
the average weaver, says our consul
at Bombay, Mr.. Fee, from whose re.
port these facts are taken, working
thirteen hours per day for twenty-six
days In the month, would earn less
than eight dollars and a half.
