The big free parade of Itlngllng Brothers' circus next Wednesday will be a long way out of the ordinary with such things. The usual circus parade is a tame proposition of closed animal wagons, measly bands and bedraggled riders, with a relieving clown here and there, and a few sulky ele phants and camels, keeping about all that ls worth while in the way of startling or entertaining features for the exhibition un der tho tents. Itlngling Brothers have originated a street spectacle that ls dl Tided into thirty sections, each forming a separate and distinct feast of stirring nov elties. In one of these divisions there ls a mill Composed of the soldiery of mn m v Ä0nrHfe;laCCU,ra,tely' nd lea by a martial band mounted on by a martial band mounted on plendld steeds. In the elephant section there are twentv five enormous big fellows of this cleantle breed, who illustrate with their dragging mruens or war cannon, huge armor and massive war . accoutrements, the novel cene of tne punjaub war. Even the camels, said to be the least amenable to training of any of the wild beasts of a big menagerie, are made to draw court carriages and gold-lncrusted litters of state. In this great display over wu norss are useu. ana the music ls made . by ten different band?.

MONEY FOR SQUARE 36. Dlntrlrt Attorney Wlshnrd Give Statn of Federal Duildlns Affairs. United States District Attorney Wlshard will to-day forward to the authorities in Washington all the Information In his pos- ff??lon concerning the condemnation pro ceedings of Square 3, which will be used for the new federal building. The depart ment at Washington has already been In formed once of the status of affairs, but iKpartmental red tape requires that the a me ground fhall be, gone over again. Mr. Wlshard said yesterday to a Journal reporter that legal proceedings had pro gressed as far In this city as they could. and that the neat step would be for the Treasury Department to forward the money to pay the owners of property In Square 34 to thl city. Thoae who accepted the re port of the three government appraisers will receive their money without further ado. but those who appealed from tho ap praler report to the Federal Court will have to awiit their turn. Mr. WUhard thinks the muny will be sent to this city within a snort time. New Pianos, at Wulschntr'a. MODERN WOODMEN DAY HKMOIUAL DAY OBSKUVEI) IIY TIU2 LODGES OF THIS CITY The Service Held n( St. Paul' Church, with a Sermon liy Iter. Lewis C. Urown. Memorial day was observed yesterday afternoon at St. Paul's Church by the In dianapolis lodges of Modern Woodmen of America with services which were charac terized by their solemnity and beauty. Mar ion Ixxlge met at Its headquarters on Vir ginia avenue at 2 o'clock and,, headed by the Woodmen Band, marched to the cor ner of Delaware street, where it was met by other lodges and the procession went at once to the church. The services ryere In augurated by the Impressive processional of the Episcopal ritual, followed by choral anthems and responsive readings. The memorial sermon was delivered by the rec tor. Rev. Lewis C. Brown, and was un usually eloquent. Mr. Brown said In part: In the tenth chapter of St. I.uke" gos pel, twenty-ninth verse, win be found thi words of my text, 'Who Is my neighbor?' We regard It as a great compliment to-day the rector, wardens, vestry and congre gation of St. Taul's Church that the or der of Modern Woodmen have come here to have their memorial d3y services. It i3 a matter of congratulation to us that you have come within these walls to render that duty which every man feels It is a privilege to render to lives that have passed away into the great beyond. Man's uncer tain life la like a rain drop hanging on a cough amid ten thousand of its sparklins kindred, but which shall soonest loso its perilous hold we cannot guess. Tho great procession of men from the ages down to his time passing onward have gone into fchade and we sit here before tho great cur tain that men call death, knowing that ere long it shall part and every one present here In this church this afternoon shall go behind it, never more to be seen by human taces, never more to be touched by human hands, never more to be part of this great human world in which we live and yet not to be forgotten, for, as we pass hence; .caving behind us the story of a life well spent, of kindly deeds, of thoughtful ut terances, of tender emotions we live for ever in the minds of those left behind, who think of us In love. BENEFICENT PRINCIPLES. I rejoice at your order coming here thl? afternoon because of the beneficent princi ples which underlie its very foundations. It is a beneficial order; it stands here, with its 500,000 members and its two millions dis pensed throughout the last year in connec tion with legacies and in connection with those needing help, as an organization of vuamjr wwrmjr i tummuo.9 !rBaru. rur w l ... . 1 . m . .- charity is a cold thing if you simply trust the promptings of the heart that come from men and women day by day. It may last for a little 'while, but very soon people grow somewhat weary of exercising it. But when charity becomes an established prin ciple, as in your order, and this money comes year by year as a right and not as a gratuity, that i3 a kind of charity no one possibly can find fault with; no one possi bly can escape if he needs it. And so tho . , " , "w I power of just such movements as these i the power of the right kind of a recognition o the needs of mankind, lie who looks aft er those that are to come after him in some such way as this ls rightly standing by tha world; he is preventing the pauperism and the beggary in the streets, and he ls mak ing it possible for other lives to go forward and do their best In days that are to come. For I tell you the sorrows of the widow and the fatherless are the sorrows of this world causing the saddened faces and the tear stained faces day by day, and there is nothing I think In all the world that is harder to bear than Just such a condition as that death coming and leaving behind that legacy of care and anxiety and thosy who ought to be kindly tended going on and bearing the burden, walking under neath that burden day by day and en deavoring simply to keep body and soul tcgether by the hardest possible means And so I thank God that this ls a benefi cial order." Dr. Brown commended the Woodmen for the ethical feature of their order, say ing that it stands for pure morality. Hs also said that the order believes in the ex emplification of Christllness and in teach ing the fatherhood of God and the broth crhood of man. In closing he said: INFLUENCE OF BROTHERHOOD. "Wherever you find brotherhood touch ing the lives of men and women in thlä world you find noble men, and you may have as many doubts as you please about that man's religion, but I say that man i? a religious man and he deserves a high place in the other world and he will get that place there. He may never have said in so many words that he Is a Christian, but I tell you the God of the universe realizes his Christianity and he will go In at .the pearly gates. And so I say to-day that I believe in these conditions for which you stand, for they stand for the cqultabla conditions of human life. You are standing for the best conditions that come to you Irora day to day. And so my text to-day, Who ls my neighbor means simply this; Your neighbor is every man and woman in this world whom 3ou can help as the days go on, and as you remember in this memor ial service this afternoon some who have walked by your side, who have been uivo naiaeu uy )uur muc, wnu nave Deen In your lodge room perhaps, whom you are ramemoratlng in this church this after- noon: as vou remember them, rcmrmr noon; as you remember them, remember also the best Idea you can have In con nection with those who have gono before ls this: To live to be better men and women because they are looking back over the dis tance to see how we are using life." The sermon was listened to with close and approving attention by the large num ber of oodmen and their friends who almost filled the church. Yesterday morning committees appoint ed ior tne purpose visited Crown Hill. Glenn s alley and Anderson cemeteries and decorated the graves of "neighbors." very few deaths have occurred In the or der In Indianapolis. In some of the lodges none at all are recorded. Three graves were decorated at crown mil. two at Glenn s alley and only one at Anderson cemetery, near Irvington. DEATH OF DANIEL FISHER. He Wai a Wcll-KnoTrn Carpenter nnd Contractor.

There was a crowd at the Union Sta tion till midnight last night waiting for excursions to Cincinnati, Dayton, Fort Wayne, Lima and other points to come In- - - -T The trains were nrst marked on the bulle- tin boards to be in at 1Q:3 but the time went by without their appearance and the employes of the station were soon targets for hundreds of questions regarding the arrivals. Several hundred people took ad vantage of the excursions, the largest crowds going to Cincinnati and Dayton. THE CORONER CAIXED To InventlKnte the Heath of Knielln K. Illedllnjter.

Issuing from the college residence about 11 o'clock, the girls evaded the crowd of boys who were waiting to take down the freshman flag that was put up Friday night, and started for the nmfpssors' residences to favor them with tneIr midnight music. Kvery professor's house was visited and given a serenade, which, although probably not enjoyable at that time of night, was many times better than the boys' serenade of tin pans and hoarse voices of last Thurs day night.

They Have Some Fan vrith Their Friend, the Seniors. The Juniors at Butler College have mani fested little class spirit so far, in compari son to that so apparent among the seniors and freshmen, but Saturday night the bounds of restraint were thrown off for a brush at the advanced class. The seniors gave their annual class exhibition and the juniors got out duplicate programmes of . . . . . the affair and distributed them through the audience at the beginning of the exercises. The make-up of the programme was an exact counterpart of that of the seniors and typographically the same, but the wording was of an entirely different nature. The front page, under the caption of "Stupidity," says it is "a headache farce, rendered by the seniors on Saturday night. because the girls in the class can't get off any other time," and is finished off below with skull and crossbones. The programme announces that "between naps the following balloons will be punc tured," and this is what is written below: "Lying as an Art," John Cheatem Carr; "Once a Farmer. Always a Farmer."

QL'AYLE'S SERMON AT MKItlDIAX-STUEET CIIVIICII. Delhrrrd In Interest of National Chll- dren'n Home SocietyServices at Other Churches. Dr. Quaylo talked In behalf of homeless children at Meridian-street . Methodist Church last night with an eloquence of pathos that more than once brought tears to his hearer's eyes. The service was de voted to the Interests of the National Chil dren's Home Society, which will hold Its annual meeting here Wednesday and Thursday of this week. In the pulpit with Dr. Quayle was the Rev. F. M. Elliott, su perintendent of the Indiana Children's Home Society, a branch of the national or ganization. As a preface to the minister's appeal for support for the society Mr. Elliott briefly outlined the objects and purposes for which it was formed. He said that the Indiana branch has only been In existence seven years, yet in that time has succeeded in providing 5Ct children with suitable homes. The receiving home is at West field, where the little folks are kept until homes are obtained for them. It is the de sire of the 'society to build a home of its own, to cost $12,000, and subscriptions are solicited for this object. Four thousand dollars of the sum required has already been raised. Dr. Quayle's text was the twenty-second versa of the forty-second chapter of Gen esis: "Do not sin against the child." Some of his striking and forcible utterances were: "We aro to do no harm to a child, whosever's child it is; whether wo aro any relation to it or not. See to it. By no posi tive act of positive assertion; by no means of any order is anybody to do any evil to a mV.I14 ' ."u. THE SOCIETY'S OBJECT. "This society, under whose auspices we meet to-night, proposes to put children into homes, and It proposes to provide homes with children two things, and two Very necessary things, indeed." "We ought never to refer to a human be ing as 'it,' because it is somehow very easy to forget that there are capabilities for good and evil in every human soul. There is neither neuter nor neutrality in the soul. iou can t compute what a soul will do. You can't count stock in human nature. You can breed- cattle and horses, but you can't breed manhood. Y'ou can't make a genealogical tree which will certify to char acter. There Isn't anybody doomed from his birth to either goodness or badness. You are not wholly responsible for your ancestor a doings, and God elves us I be IIova und shall maintain until now llo-ht la brought t0 my mInd 1 wI11 malntaift that before every human being's feet, if that human being be not an imbecile, there is a road which leads out to manhood and womanhood, and surely out to usefulness and good." 'Every bad life has a hope in it. For every life coming into the world God has made some possible projection and per spective or noDiiity and worm, iou must not suppose that because a child is taken om me siums n is a nopeiess cniia. xou must nQt suppose that becuse a chlld ls a tiom the slums it Is a hopeless child, iou drunkard's chlld it Is a hopeless child. You must not suppose that because a chlld ls a murderer s child 'it must necessarily be a murderous child. You must not suppose that because a chlld has come from an an cestry of all venom and violence you must not therefore suppose that that child i3 doomed to di-j a vicious death. I don't deny that some people have better chances than others and some people have better blood tnan others, but I do deny that there is no hope for anybody and I do deny that a oad person s blood is so poisoned that he can t, by the grace of God and by his own f trength and by the help of influences that can be brought to bear upon him, lead c '.vholesome and healthy life. MUCH IN ENVIRONMENT. "There is a good deal more in environ ment than there is in heredity. God wants to give the best environment He can and God wants to give the best heredity He can. If He had His way He would give first-class heredity to everybody. He doesn't want poisoned blood; He doesn't want mat formation of character. "Did any of you ever undertake to make a genealogical tree of a good family? Don't you do it. Don't you smile at me. I am not talking any humor now. I am talking God's truth. Bad children come out of good fami lies as wen as out or Daa xamuies and a genealogical tree won't turn out very well 'ine lewer genealogical trees you keep arouna your iamuy, tne Detter ort you are. Don't inquire too closely in to the genealo gical trees or good families. 'iou cant construct goodness. Souls are not mechanical, but dynamical. You can't r.rohesy bad character, and you can't frame character. You can frame clay into model3 una you can shape marble by delicate touches into the most gracious figures that ever came from the touch of Phldlas's skilled hand, but you can t shape charac ter. liut this thing you can do: You can give character the best conditions under wmcn to grow into perfect form. This society proposes to take children out pf the 'yellow fever districts of the fcoui ana to put them on the highlands of the soul where the best air blows." A good environment ls the greatest t,i0(tein(r that M. f and of Cod "I never like to speak of gove A ."; -i0 w -i"4- ul.ove tne open governing chil dren, for I fear some members of the con gregation may have visited my home." "It is a sood thins to give a child the best chance to grrow into symmetry and ceauty UKe tne beauty or the pine. We must never forpret that there are Immense Influences In childhood especially In this matter of environment." I am of opinion that the time will come when children will be taken from bad par ents, wneiner tney win or not, and be put into good housings and into good circum stances of virtue and morality. I am of the opinion that systematic criminals ought rot to De allowed to keep their children. I am of the opinion that a murderess. whether In prison or out, ought not to he allowed to nurse her own babe." IX AN INSANE WAY. "I have seen some good people who were doing God's work in an insane way. I don't pray for them. I pray for people who know what they aro doing. I think the less Insanity there Is the cheaper it will be for the State to keep the insane, don't you? I wish that all people who mean to do well would please to do their goodness in a sane way." "A child will thaw you out, however mean your nature ls. They will make your barren ground blossom with tenderness." "If you can come along the street and a little tot of a child can come up and hand you with a dirty fist a piece of paper on which Is a smirched scrawl, or an old bouquet In which there is a flower or two, and you don't want to get hold of the child and kiss his dirty face, there ls something radically mean and wrong in your heart. Some people need more to kls somebody's dirty babo than they need to go to a presi dent's reception." "It ls wonderful what a sweet face can hide undr the shade of a sunbonnet." "A child's helplessness, a child's impor tuning questionings, a child's querulous ness educate the best qualities of the soul. If you want to learn to be unselfish, have a sick child at your house. You will for get to primp once. I don't object to people primping who need it. I don't think any woman has a right to be a slattern." "You talk about the microbe. The microbe Is the point of attack of all medicine In our time, and rightly so. The child is the microbe of society and It may be a microbe for good and it may bo a microbe for evil." 'TUR IIir.lir.lt SnXSITIYESESS.' An Interentlna: Sermon nt the Taber nacle by Iter. J, CnmmtnR Smith. Rev. J. Cummlng Smith, pastor of Tab ernacle Church, preached to a large con gregation yesterday morning on "The Higher Sensitiveness." He said In part: "Paul Is on the wclltrod caravan road to Damascus revolving plans to crush the new and mutinous sect when a strange voice speaks and opens up new and un dreamed vistas around him. 'Saul. Saul, why persecutest thou me?' The sudden en largement of view staggered Saul. It was as if a man strolling along a lone path found the mist rise on his right hand and on his left and stretched out before him a panorama of illimitable landscapes, and yet nothing Is more agreeable to reason than the breadth and farreach of life. Our actions touch the farthest eternities. Paul persecutes not alone himself when he per secutes the young church, he persecutes the unseen Christ.. "Our world is as a sensitized plate. An eclipse of the sun disturbs our clouds and sunspots thrill our northern sky with sub tle magnetic currents. Mountain summits dominate the dingiest canyons and equator bows Its acknowledgments to the arctic. "As reason and refinement bind the world Into one vivid whole an event in one clime casts a shadow over all. In a city a great strike occurs. Hundreds of men in obedi ence to a superior commund lay down the tools of industry and at first orderly soon find themselves carried onward to scenes of tulmut and inexcusable cowardice: at first aflame against tyranny they soon become tyrants themselves. But St. Louis only happens to be the locality of an out break which touches every chord of our modern civilization and a million minds watch the course of the riot. Whether in sympathy or not. the event itself reaches out and chains the Intelligent world. Across the broader sea an empire seems in tne throes of a vest intestine conflict. An army of half patriotic and half anarchistic war riors are avowing vengeance on foreigners In China. An earthquake may irignten on corner of that enormous empire and never cause the faintest tremble in another cor ner, but this movement so volcanic and violent and understood to be nursed by the tacit approval of the Empress is an earth quake that shatters every part of that hoary empire. What will be the upshot? Will it result in unitizing those heathen millions into a fiery nationalism? Or will it act as a disintegrating force? Is it really the death knell of her unity? will it facili tate the carving process for the powers of Europe to take a share and compel me sluggish immobile Mongolians to adopt modem methods and no longer block the path of a world's progress. How easy to sit at home and sketch possible policies. As easy as financing with other people s money or legislating for other people's children. But of this we are sure, that whatever the fate of Asia a mob in Peking is followed bv the lntenest sympathetic Interest of London and St. Petersburg. At cur breakfast tables the farwlnging press sets us down in Ladysmith or Calcutta. The hundred Interlinking lines of com munication are blotting out superficial dis tinctions and the forerunners of common problems are welding the races Into one. We are developing in the direction of a high nervous sensitiveness. This is a crowning glory of our time, and now ir we allow reason to ripen still more and to sweep many worlds Into one view and place an infinite, sensitive, highly organized intelligence on the throne, then we have a philosophic basis for religion. This ls a sacrament to-day, but a sacrament carries us all afar. A sacrament affirms an in carnation and Calvary, and a Calvary in volves the fact of sin against an unseen God. We cannot deny these remote rela tions without breathing a blight on our service. Why 6peak of submarine cables to another continent if you are agnostic upon that continent's real existence? Our gospel rolls up the blinds and throws open the shutters of our world s present home, and reveals not a dead God or a mythical force on a glorious marble statue of cold indifference, but a vital life-giving God, who feels a wound every time we sin and is rent with pang when any child slights His offered love. Hence our Calvary! Given a universe shot through with love as the final clew to its meaning, then our Calvary becomes one of the love forms. If I walk in pine forests I expect cones to fall, or if I walk through groaning orchards in mellow autumn I expect the rosy fruit to fall. This is normal. But if apples fell in pine woods or, out of a clear sky, or cones fell In freighted orchards, it would be abnormal. If love is not the pervading temperament of the world's background, then Calvary ls more than supernatural. It is abnormal. It is a grand exception. It is but a tremendous spasm. But If love infinite, unfathomable and far-ranging be the very secret of the universe, and love, too, of a type so strong that it stoops to the low and weak and weeping, if I say love of that holy type be the ultimate philosophy, then Calvary ls Just as natural as the visit of a mother to the crying cra dle at midnight. I preach no mushroom benevolence on high. Love insists on holi ness and repentance and manhood: but I affirm that infinite love, with all its im pulses toward purity, cannot see a soul drift away from home without going forth to win it back. I want no Bible to codd!e us in our errors or caress us in our crimes, but one cannot believe in a strong, re sourceful God, unable to persuade His chil dren back to righteousness, without which a soul must ever dread the face of God. A lost soul ls a possibility only on the suddo sltlon that it has the power to hold out forever against the infinite persuasion of innnite love, and a coercion of our free dom would only make a mongrel heaven. If God is bound by every force of His lov ing nature to come to men, men are bound by every force of their nature to come to God. When and where both meet, you nna neaven. wnen and where they part.

The closing meeting of the Christian Mis slonary Alliance at the -Second Presbyter ian Church last night was well attended. Rev. A. B. Simpson, of New York, general superintendent of the Missionary Alliance work in the United States, preached from the text Hebrew lv, 14: "Seeing then that we have a great high priest that ls passed Into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession." He said in part: "In the days before the coming of Christ there were many imposing figures, but none of them surpassed the imposing personality of Aaron, the great high priest and prophet. So esteemed and beloved was he that it was hard for tho people to believe that any other priest was to come who was to excel Aaron In virtue. It was tnererore difficult for Paul to con vince the people of the superior priesthood of Jesus Christ. But Christ came and of fered himself as a sacrifice to cleanse us from ,all sin. Christ died for us, yet He ever lives to intercede for us. He is ever keep ing our names pure with the Father. He is ever Interceding for us and so we aro dependant upon Him and will be saved through His priesthood. We are told that Christ ls the greatest of high priests. If you had a difficult case on hand you would want a great lawyer, and the services of such an advocate would be very valuable. But we have an advocate up there who ls epual to the Judge He ls the Son of tho Father and our brother and we don't have to pay Him a retainer. His whole time in heaven Is given up to looking after our interests. He ls committed to our cause. "Then again Jesus is not only divine, but He is also human. He has a mind and body just like you and me, and if to-night we could reach that realm where He dwells, we would find our Savior as He was on earth, and know Him as our brother. God the Father has bound His only Son with humanity, so that if we should he wrecked Jesus would be wrecked with us. He 13 a man and our brother. The angels don't own Him. He belongs to the human race; let us use Him and let us love HIra. We arc told that Jesus has passed through the heavens, and therefore. He is fit to bo our advocate. How glad we ought to be that we have somebody in that other world who belongs to us and will look after our interests. We have somebody up there that makes It home. Again, He can sympathize with us. He reaches down to us In our deep est depressions nnd shares our joys with us. He sympathizes with us in our Infirmi ties. There are women who cannot sypa thlze with their fallen si.tcrs: there are men who cannot touch the Finking soul of their fellowman, but oh. tho sympathy of Jesus, it enfolds us all alike. As the biood rushes to tho wound on the hand so the love of Jesus Is always for those who need it most. Jesus is the comfort of every lonely heart. We would die without Him, tut we will be saved by His love." GATEWAYS TO HELL.. Wlneroonm Are Thus Denominated liy the ReT. C. C. IlorrlIon. The Rev. C. C. Rowllson, of the Third Christian Church, preached last night on "Saloons.". He said tho saloon was a social menace and should be prohibited for this reason if no other. He said In part: "We Fee the effects of the Faloon much more effectively in the smaller communi ties. The fact that we in the cities are used to them docs not relieve the situation. Why is It that saloons are not allowed in the more respectable portions of our city? It is because wc know it would be the rula ASTHMA ji a CURED ft" DUY THE GUARANTEED CURE, ACME COUGH SYRUP.

The saloon nas sometimes peen cauea the poor man's clubhouse, and some men have sought to excuse the saloon ior tnis feature. That is one of Its worst features. The winerooms in connection with most all of the saloons of this city are the gateways to hell." Mr. Rowllson took un the legal status of the liquor traffic, and In comparing the li censed liquor dealers with registered and licensed pharmacists became quite sarcas tic, reterring to liquor dealers as experts in their business and suggesting colleges for them as well as for druggists.
