League Course with his lecture last We'd
nesday night on the modern scientific
marvels. Wireless Telegraphy. Radium.
and Liquid Air. The lecturer was almost
too III to keep his engagement. which may
have accounted for the "grouohiness" of
some Of his remarks and the indistinc,iye-
ness OF his words. But his scientific
demonstrations were very interesting and
held an attentive audience. The attend

CHAPEL EXERCISES IN

RevS. Hiatt and TebbettS
Made Good Talks.
FOOTBALL TEAMS WORK.

II Prof. Ellabarger is as fortunate in
filling up the program for chapel exer-
cises every Monday morning as he was
this morning, the school will indeed be
lucky. The Rev. G. S. Hiatt, of Mum
Gle, who has been attending the yearly
meeting, was first introduced to the
students and talked very interestingly
for a few minutes on the question Of
education. after which he introduced
Rev. Chas. Z. Tebbetts, of Whittier
College, California, who addressed the
students on the dangers of trying to
get through school too hastily. Rev.
Tebbetts advised the students to take
their time in preparing for their future
life. and expressed himself as being
averse to the practice of going part of
the way through the high school and
then quitting and going to a business
college with the hope of getting into
business so much the sooner A very
pleasing selection was given by the or
chestra following the Rev. Tebbetts'
address.
The high school tennis organization
has been informed that 1t will have the

ficient direction of Prof Waldrip, is
becoming confident of winning Tau

JOHN {. STOKES, rs,
EXPIRED SUDDENLY
End Came Unexpectedly to a
Well Known Man.

John Z. Stokes, a well known man

urday afternoon at his home two miles
west of Richmond, of heart trouble.

Attendance on Indiana YEARLY
Meeting of Friends Not
Large as Usual.
NO EXCURSIONS ARE RUN.
BUSINESS SESSION WAS RESuM-
ED THIS MORNING AND REPORT
WAS HEARD FROM WHITES
INSTITUTE.

Although not featured by the large
attendance which has characterized
it for some years past, due to the in
clemency of the weather. thousands of
people from towns throughout Eastern
Indiana and western Ohio. attended
the sessions of the Indiana yearly
meeting of Friends. Sunday 1t was
estimated that there were at least four
thousand people in the city who came
TO attend the sessions. The attend
ance was decreased by the railroads
willingness to accede to the demands
of the ministers and elders, that no
special yearly meeting excursions be
run on Sunday. The Friends are op-
posed to this feature, but il is thought
the passage of the two-cent rate law by
the last legislature was responsible for
the readiness of the railroads to take
off the excursions. The interurban
lines, however. ran three special cars
into the city from the west Sunday. all
of which were heavily loaded. The
regular cars also carried a large num-
Der of yearly meeting attendants. Dur
ing the morning hours and before the
converting of each session at the
Friends church on East Main street.
long lines of people went eastward
through the uptown districts. Devo-
tional services were held during the en-
tire day. The meetings were also the
scene of the reunion of relatives and
the renewal of old friendships as has
been the custom in years past.
Business Sessions Resumed.
The regular business sessions of
the meeting again convened this morn
ing with the reading of epistles from
Wilmington, Oregon and California
yearly meetings. Minutes of the per-
manent board were read, as were the
returning minutes. The bible institute
sion. The annual report from Whites
institute, the school near Wabash, was
read and elected some discussion. The
report showed the school in good con-
dition.
In this day of advanced ideas, the
pleas were made in the sessions by
ministers that the Friends should not
be so willing to discourage the young
ministers by crying "unsound, un-
sound" as has been the custom in
past years. The proposition was dis
cussed for some time and their consen-
sus of opinion was that the ministers
of the church should be willing to take
suggestions given in kindly manner
and with the proper spirit.
