THE GREATEST 75 CIIABITY.
The Annual Meeting of the Consolidated
Benevolent Organizations.
Addresses by Rev. Myron W. Reed, Senator
Ben Harrison and Others—Progress and
Character of the Work.
The annual public meeting of the Indianapolis
Benevolent Society, at English’s Opera-house,
last night, called out an audience that filled
every seat in theauditorium —fully 2,2oopersons
being present The following societies were
represented in the meeting: Indianapolis Be
nevolent Society, Charity Organization Society,
the Flower Mission, the Free Kindergartens and
the Indianapolis Orphan Asylum, while the au
dience was composed exclusively of church-go
ing people of the city. Senator Harrison pre
sided and the opening prayer wa9 made by Rev.
Dr. Reuben Jeffery, who was followed by Rev.
M. L. Haines in a Scripture reading. Senator
Harrison then spoke as follows:
SENATOR HARRISON’S ADDRESS.
Ladieß and Gentlemen—The Indianapolis Benevo
lent Society is an old acquaintance of mine. Thirty
years ago, on a Thanksgiving evening, I attended the
tarst anniversary after coming to this city to reside.
And from that time on I was, while not an active, at
least an interested participant in its annual meetings.
I recollect it when it was vigorous; when it enlisted
the sympathies of the great mass of our people. I
recollect very tenderly, in connection with
it, some of these conspicuous men who gave not
only money but their time to its work. I recall the
time of its decline. And I remember a meeting in tho
First Presbyterian Church, seven years ago, -w hen not
more than seven or eight persons responded to the
call for its annual meeting. I recollect the feeling of
discouragement and depression which was felt then;
and I recall the resolution which was expressed by the
few that were present to reorganize, and revivify, and
make efficient for good again, as it had been in the past,
this magnificent _organization, which has associated
with it to-night, mono interest, several other charitable
organizations of the city—the Indianapolis Orphan
Asylum, the Free Kindergarten, the Flower Mission,
and over them all. binding them together in their
work, the Charity Organization Society, of this city.
I feel that great progress has been made in the ad
ministration of this work. I believe that it is to-day
upon a basis that commends it, not only to the sym
pathies—for this benevolent work has always had our
sympathies—but commends it to the business judg
ment and confidence of the people of Indianapolis.
There is no lack of benevolent disposition. Ido not
believe there is a city or town in the United States
where there is not both the disposition and the rev
enue to relieve any case of actual want. The difficulty
has been to bring the case of want to the attention of
those who had the heart to give. Men are busy in
their daily pursuits; if they are visited in their offices
by those who are soliciting alms, they have no assur
ance that they are given worthily, and so the fount
ains of benevolence are sealed up and dried up in
many hearts by means of the frauds that are frequent
ly practiced upon their kindly confidences.
•We have now in tho Indianapolis Benevolent Society
a society that not only deals with want and suffering
in a kindly and sympathetic spirit, but brings also
wisdom to bear, ana discriminates between the worthy
and unworthy. I do not hesitate to affirm that to
each of these societies represented here on this pro
gramme to-night every man whom I address, and
every woman, if deprived from personal participation
in this work, may with absolute confluence confide
their contribution to the care of these societies with
the fullest and most perfect assurance that every dol
lar contributed will be made to do its full work in
relieving suffering and distress.
It seems to me, therefore, that I may appeal to the
business men who are here in this audience to-night
and have not always the time to search out for them
selves the cases that are called to their attention to
give liberally to these several associations that are
represented here, with the assurance that their money
will do more good than it can possible do if distributed
miscellaneously and without judgment among those
who come to our doors or to our offices seeking relief.
It is a source of great comfort to me to think* that
we have here in the city an organization which pledges
itself to take care of and relievo every case of distress
that you may direct to their attention. They ask of
vou only two things; first, that you will put into their
hands tho necessary means to do this work, and,
secondly, that you will refer to them and to their ex
amination every case that appeals to you personally
for help, if you have not yourself the time to give
it investigation. Without detaining you further
to-night than to simply express the hope
that the society this year, in its
forty-ninth year, may receive from the citizens of
Indianapolis a larger contribution than has been
known in any past year, so that, on the semi-cen
tennial of its organization, we may hear, those of us
who may be alive, a report showing the society out of
debt, with no necessity for asking bank accommoda
tions, and amply able to give assistance to each and
all cases calling for the exercise of its helping hand.
I have the honor of introducing to you Mr. W. A.
Johnson, of Cincinnati, the head of the charity or
ganization of that city, who will address vou on
the subject of the “Value of Systematic Effort in
Charity/'
W. A. Johnson, of Cincinnati, then spoke, giv
ing an interesting account of the work of organ
ized charity in that city during an epidemic of
smallpox, and during the floods of 1883 and 1884,
being a conclusive showing of tho value of sys
tematic effort in charitable work.
Mrs. Lois G. Hufford read a paper of marked
merit on the results of kindergarten work in this
city, where there now are four schools which
care for over 300 children. She asked the ques
tion whether there was not in this city a man or
woman of means who would do something for
this cause by building in one of the poor neigh
borhoods of Indianapolis a house for the use of
one of these kindergartens.
Judge E. B. made an excellent
business-like address, showing the work and the
needs of the Indianapolis Orphan Asylum. Over
2,500 persons living to-day and enjoying citizen
ship, owe the blessings they have to this institu
tion. These persons, taken when infants, have
been saved from lives of pauperism and crime.
They have been fed, clothed, schooled, and at
last placed in pleasant and comfortable homes,
and are now scattered over nearly all the States
of this Union, and but one child was ever sent
to tho Reformatory. By love and kindness, even
cases that seemed almost hopeless have been re
deemed. A mortgage of SB,OOO rests upon this
institution, which should be removed.
Mrs. Hannah G. Chapman read a paper on
“The Results of Flower Mission Work,” showing
the ministrations of the noble-hearted women
who are engaged in that work.
Rev. Myron W. Reed then came forward, and
spoke as follows:
REV. MYRON W. REED’S ADDRESS.
Ladies and Gentlemen—What with lecturing, and
preaching, and visiting, and the eating of successive
turkeys, 1 find my notes somewhat mixed. I am
somewhat in the condition of a friend of mine, a
minister [a conscious look on the part of Rev. O. 0.
McCulloch], who came from Colorado Springs to Den
ver to look tip a friend. He had taken his residence
on a piece of paper and put it in his vest pocket. Ar
riving in Denver, he took the street cars as far as he
could, and then undertook to look up the corner of
I and Sixth streets. He found, after a time,
that he must ask for information, and so inquired
for the corner of I and Sixth streets,
and was told that there was no alphabetical
street in the city. After looking in the Directory ho
remembered, and reached into his pocket and found
that he had made a mistake, and had simply taken a
reference to a favorite text, I Cor., 0.
I was reminded, when I came here, that a year ago
to night Governor Hendricks, whose body lies clothed
in the majesty of death, was kind enough, on this plat
form, to speak of my absence, and say that he missed
me. Ido not speak for myself, but I speak for ns all,
when I say that we miss him to-night The Charity
Society and this society have received kindly impulse
from him since I knew him. I remember
especially when we desired to investigate the county
house, the poor-house, the poor-farm, that he volun
teered his assistance and worked for us without pay
for nearly a month, and was very instrumental in the
work of reform that was carried on in that institu
tion. and we have over received nothing but encour
agement from him.
1 am at the present time a missionary of the gospel
in anorganized society in the foot hills, being a grad
uate in Indianapolis. I went there with a distinct
feeling in my miutl that I would repeat the work that
has been done here. Precisely a year ago to-night
we met at the Tabor Opera-house, and filled it aud the
churches adjoining. 1 laid out a plan of work some
what similar to this. A week following a gentleman
took the street, and in seven days we had collected
SO,OOO. The organization is not as perfect as this
here, but it will be as perfect. We have already a free
kindergarten in the poorest part of the city, where the
children of the poor women who go out to work are
gathered in the morning, entertained through the day,
and sent home cheered by the dav. I venture to say that
these little children look upon these days as the bright
spots in their lives. We want no more children with
the eyes of a hunted animal in our streets. These lit
tle children remind m<i of an incident that took place
sometime ago. Perhaps you remember that large elm
tree in the yard of the place where I used to live.
The top is cut, off, 1 understand; l haven’t looked at
it. In that tree was a neat of sparrows, and I re
member distinctly when my little girl came in and
asked me to go out and see what had hapened
on the pavement. I saw lying there on the hard stones
three sparrows that had fallen out of the nest, and
were inangled to death. 1 thought then aud think now
THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, NOVISMPER 30, 1355.
of the Orphan Asylum in this city, which comes in
somewhere between the limb of the tree and the hard
tCT e catch the poor sparrows that may fall.
A eoldtcr Zp en *l of mine in this city tells me of his
hospital days. TVonn/ A d- sick, he lay on his cot and
the prefunetory little chaplain to hustle in, and
say, "Soldier what can Ido for y6u." Re nl 'l not
■to anything for him, was not made right, his voice
was metallic and his heart in the wrong place, and
then he tells me that the good old Catholic father
would stroll in and sit on the side of the cot, and say
nothing, put his cool hand on his hot forehead, shake
up his pillow, turn it the cool side up, mix him a
pleasant drink, write a letter for him, keep the flies
off, tell stories, sing an Irish ballad, coax him to sleep.
The money that is expended by this society does not
represent at all what is done. It is money and a visit,
and the visit is as much as the money.
I have oftentimes tho ught what it might be to be in an
absolutely healthy, rich and perfect world. There are
some considerations that make me think that this is a
better world than that would be. We are imperfect
ourselves,, and are not adapted to an absolutely
healthy, rich, and perfect world. A perfectly rich and
perfectly healthy community is like the community of
Sparta, in which the children deformed, or indolent,
were exposed to death. It is a well com
munity; but it is a brutal community. Better
have sickness in this world, ana poverty,
than for us to grow up without sympathy
and without friendship. I am glad that wo are in
a world whei eso much remains to be done. The
captain of Company F came to me after we mustered
out, at the closo of the war, and said: "Captain, we are
out of a job,” and I look back now to the few weeks
that came after the war as the most wretched weeks
of my life. There is a kind of encouragement in
being now in the midst of the battle. I shall go back
to the foot hills, and shall report the beginnings of
this movement in this city as I saw them, and I shall
report the progress as I see it to-night, and shall pro
voke the city of Denver to good works. I find where
I live now no trouble whatever in getting the money
that we want. We get the money as
we ask for it; but I find exceeding
trouble in getting a man’s time. Time
is what we want. The time of men that a~e able to do
this business intelligently. Not every man is a good
collector. We want the best men in every city to
take this work in hand and carry it forward. .There
was a time when men magnified the passivfe
We are coming now to a time when tho active virtues
can be magnified. The old world, we are told, is a
discipline; the new world is an opportunity. I often
read the story of the Good Samaritan, and always find
something new in it. I read it newly the other
day. The Good Samaritan was a man of
means. A poor man can be a Christian, but
to be an active Christian, and to do real good ha must
have a beast, and wine, and oil; and you must have
more than this—an inclination to lend your time, to
stop right in the road when you are on an errand of
business to attend to an errand of love. I want to
impress this matter of time upon you because it is the
real question. At Denver our committee of last year
wanted to retire for anew committee. There are not
two good committees in one city. It wants the same
men over and over again, the men who have had ex
perience. A few men of this kind can go upon
this city or any city, living in it,
acquainted with it, with its wealth, and raise the
money. The difficulty we find, as [ said before, is to
get these men’s timo, and their lime is valuable. I
propose in Denver to go forward until we gather ev
erything into this organization, and to so unify all
thes9 things that one collection made every fall shall
include every benevolent thing that there is carried
forward in that city. I am peijyjaded we are on
the right track, and this is the I seem to hear
the voice of God saying, walk ye in it.
The music of the occasion was furnished by
Mr. Levi, Mrs. Levering, Mrs. Watson, Mr.
Allen and Mr. Leckner. The exercises closed
witn a benediction by Rev. R. V. Hunter.
Needed Fire Protection.
Chief Fire Engineer Webster has visited the work
house, and with surprise, not unmixed with alarm,
has noted the dearth of fire protection. Not only that,
but, by a singular fatuity, the family of the superin
tendent is lodged in rooms directly over the great
furnaces that furnish heat for the large buildings.
Immediately over the furnaces, and not more
than a foot above, are the pine rafters
that support the floor. Already this woodwork is as
dry and inflamable as tinder, and the slightest acci
dent would ignite it. Tho stairway leading up to the
rooms of the superintendent’s family would not
afford egress in case of a fire, as the exit from it is
along the very hallway that lies immediately over the
furnaces, and would be first to burn. Asa further
precaution, to actually insure an auto da fe, the win
dows of every one of these family rooms are as se
curely barred, and in the same manner as the win
dows of the cell-house. There should not be a day's
delay in repairing these blunders.

Killed by a Fall.
Mrs. Maria Woods, 102 years old, was fatally in
jured by a fall from the third story of the county
poor-house some time Saturday night, her death re
sulting yesterday morning. She was so extremely de
crepit as to scarcely bo able to walk from her bod to a
chair, and it is a mystery how she got to the window
sill. She was found by tho watchman on the brick
pavement where she had fallen, wrapped in two
blankets. Her spine, shoulder blade, collar bone, two
ribs and her hips were broken by the fall. There is
no question about her great age. She had relatiyes
in the city who have done nothing for her for years.
A Series of Gospel Meetings.
Maj. George A. Hilton, of Washington, D. C., a
gospel-temperance worker and evangelist, will begin a
week’s series of meetings in the city, under the aus
pices of the W. C. T. U., on Wednesday, Dec. 2.
Bible readings will be given every afternoon in Christ
Episcopal Church, and public lectures eaoh evening
at places to be announced hereafter. Mr. Hilton is
said to resemble D. L. Moody in appearance, zeal and
methods. Ladies especially are invited to attend the
Bible readings.
A Narrow Escape.
The fast express west over the C., St. L. & P., dne
at 11:37 A. M., yesterday, narrowly escaped a serious
accident, some careless fellow having left a switch
open near Irvington, where there are several side
tracks. Fortunately, the engineer had his train well
under control, and although the engine collided with
two freight cars standing on the side-track, no person
was injured. One of the cars was badly broken, and
the front of the engine somewhat demoralized.
While deliberating what to buy for Christmas
presents, remember that Heron, the jeweler, at
4 East Washington street, buys everything in
his line at the lowest figures, and always gets
the choicest poods because he buys exclusively
for cash, and is by this means enabled to give
you the lowest prices. He warrants all goods
exactly as represented.

Mr. Hendricks carried but one thousand dol
lars insurance on his life, which was with the
Industrial Life Association, of this city, having
become a member Dec. 7. 1878. This is the only
company, according to Mr. Hendricks’s idea of
equity, that does justice to both insurer and in
sured. While the company is organized on a
substantial and paying basis, with ample cash
capital, but, owing to its plan of limited reserve,
with large and liberal monthly discounts, it does
not. like companies of the East, absorb from its
insured and acquire from foreclosure millions of
capital, that lies like a drug in its vaults or is
loaned at high rate of interest to the unfor
tunate Western farmer.

Redaction in tie Price of Gas!
Notice to Gas Consumers
and Others.
Tour attention Is railed to the marked reduction fit
the price of gas, which took effect on the Ist day o?
March. The company is now furnishing gas to ail
consumers at SI.BO per 1,000 cubic feet. Thisprica
is certainly within the reach of all, for both lighting
and cooking purposes. The convenience ami comfort
of cooking by gas, especially during the summer
months, where a fire is not otherwise required, can
only be thoroughly appreciated by those who have had
experiencein its useful application for that purposes
