In the Methodist church last evening,
Rev. John w. Wadman gave an account
of his recent tour of nearly four months
on the mainland, which covered dis
lance of 10000 miles and included
| seventy-eight addresses of various
| kinds Most of his time was spent IN
| Indiana and Pennsylvania, where he
visited such cities as Indianapolis,
Pittsburg, Harrisburg, Wilkesbarre, and
Philadelphia.
Indianapolis was described as one of
the most beautiful and interesting
cities in the Union. Its magnificent
monument to the memory o. the sol
diers and sailors of Indiana who gave
| their lives in defense of their country,
| is. if it's kind, the finest in the world
and occupies conspicuous place in the
very center of the city from which the
| broad shady avenues radiate in unique
directions. The public buildings, includ-
| ing a $750,000 Masonic temple, $780,
| 600 Y. NJ C. A, a 100000 postoffice
! and a number of very fine modern
| hotels, are a great credit to its progress

wind of eloquence and food of burn
ing logic, is overwhelmingly convincing.

tion to visit Hawaii in his oyer

assent lie on Punchbowl and give him a
cordial welcome.
