President McGrew, of Missonri Division,
Is using every means possible to secure the
6,000-miIo book for all roads running in
and out of St. Louis. A meeting has been
called to confer with all local railroad pas
senger agents in St. Louis. ami a circular
has been issued to all associate members,
asking how many tickets they could use,
within the next thirty days, and, from an
swers received so far, over three hundred
books, amounting to over 00.000, conld bo
disposed of at once to St. Louis merchants.
The prospects for the adoption of the ticket
by all roads running out of St Louis are.
said to bo very encouraging. The matter
of these tickets is one in which every com
mercial traveler in the country is deeply
interested. All should lend their utmost
aid and co-operation.
The commercial travelers' excursion, Ang.
4, to Spring Fountain Park promises to be
a success in every way and a very large
delegation will attend. Fort Wayne and
Lafayette travelers w ill meet the excursion
at W arsaw.
Fifty contracts from hotels, liveries and
transfer companies have been received at
headquarters from Missouri.
New- Orleans is sending in quite a number
of renewals and with them a list of con
cessions granted the T. P. A. in Louisiana.
The United Commercial Travelers of
America are collecting a fund towards de
fraying expenses attendant on the pre
sentation to Congress of the commercial
travelers' amendment to the interstate
commerce law. If the amendment is
passed then no excuse can bo offered by
any railroad for deuying concessions to
tho commercial travelers in good stand
ing. Tho amount annually expended on rail
way fares and hotel bills by the commer
cial travelers of Canada, is estimated at
Srt.oCO.ttW. This is calculated on a basis of
270 days, at t per da v.
Tho Commercial Travelers' Association
of Canada has a membership of more than
3,000, and a cash surplus of $170,000, accumu
lated during the eighteen years of tho
association's existence,.
The is no reason why men representing
the great commercial interests of the coun
try should not have proper treatment from
hotels and railroads. It is within tho power
of the Travelers' Protective Association, by
concerted action, to bring about desired re
form, in these matters.
Shooting at the Targets.
The Ind ianarxlis Target-shooting Associ

A TRIUUTE TO IND LIN A.
Dr. Roml thaler's Eloquent Sermon Sojrfestel
by Corner-Stone Day.
At the Tabernacle Church, yesterday
morning, Dr. J. A. Rondthaler'a sermon
related to the event of the coming Thurs
day, when the people's attention will be
directed to all that pertains to the laying
of the corner-stone of the soldiers' monu
ment His texth was from the fourth chap
ter and seventh verse of Joshua: "These
stones shall be for a memorial." It refers
to the twelve stones the children of Israel
were commanded to plant to commemorate
tho passage of tho ark of tho covenant
over Jordan. The stone erected, said the
Doctor, to commemorate some special event
in the individual experience, in family life
or the nation's history, was man's earliest
attempt at historical record. First it stood
without mark or cut upon it; then rude
characters wero scratched on it or dug into
it, that recorded in briefest outline the
story it commemorated, and thus kept the
event fresh in the minds of succeeding gen
erations. It awakened curiosity, and when
ever tho reason of its erection was
asked the traditions that gathered
about it were told from father to 60U.
The art of printing has largely taken tho
place of these memorial stones. Wo go to
the library now," continued tho Doctor,
"when we would 'ask of the days that are
past And yet it is wise to preserve tho
ancient custom of monumental record. It
is appropriate that the great events in our
natiounl history should be kept in freshest
remembrance by these preachers of stone
and bronze. They are the object lossons to
tho growing generation. Every child in
our city knows more of Oliver P. Morton,
Indiana's typical hero statesman, because
of his statue on the southern border of the
Circlo than he would know wero it not
there. Next Thursday tho people of this
State will unite iu laying the corner-stone
of tho Indiana soldiers monument. Tho
splendid work of art that will rest on that
corner-stone, the object of its erection, tho
noble men and brave deeds whose memory
it will perpetuate, the blessings that have
come down to us out of the days it com
memorates, nil combine in making the oc
casion great and notable in the heart and
thought of every citizen.
"Indiana has a history that may well
stir the pride of every citizen, whether ho
be 'to tho manor born' or enjoying her priv
ileges and blessings by choice and the lead
ings of Providence. Our national propen
sity to poke fun and ridicule on the slight
est pretense has in the past frequently ex
ercised its gilts on this State, and her citi
zens have sometimes been too apt
to let the tribe pass without re
tort or decided protest. We are such a
fun-loving people that we will often take a
banter or railery Hung at us and wear
it in mock prido as an honor. It is certain
ly a most excellent quality; it avoids much
bitterness, and jests at many a keen thrust
that would deeply wound more sensitive
natures. Hut I think there is a limit to
such forbearanco and endurance, and
the t citizens of Indiana have
certainly every right and reason to
resent tho proverbial expressions of
railery that had somehow fastened upon
her. One is impressed with tho injustice
and untruthfulness of such things. We
have such an example in this case of one
of the counties in our State. Since my
residence hero, I have frequently heard
Posey county quoted in the spirit of good
humored ridicule and disparagement. For
what reason I could not tell, but supposed,
of course, that it was well merited, and
concluded that the bottom of 'the Pocket'
had lit tlo to commend it. And yet, when I
come to study the history of the State, I
am taught that Posey county has enjo3cd,
in tho past, an eminence as regards great
and learned men, of which any section of
country might well bo proud. At the time
when that odd aggregation of religious
folly and shrewd wisdom, known as the
New Harmony Community, was in its palmy
days, there was scarcely another locality in
our whole country that was so well and
favorably known in tho learned and scien
tific circles in Europe as that littlo corner
at the conlluence of the Wabash and the
Ohio. There were gatbered at New
Harmony as fine a score of scholars as
ever graced village or town. The senti
ment that attracted them thero was as ab-
sured as tho theories that xnado Prook
farm in Massachusetts the laughing stock
of tho world, but some of thoso New
Harmony men had this one advantage
over the Brook farm enthusiasts, that they
had a Practical turn to which the dream
ers of the Thoreau stamp never rose. In
stead of idle vagaries only, they worked
for the world's profit, and were thought-
prodncers for the world's improvement. I
have been much interested in tracing tho
individualities of that New Harmony com
bination, and have been surprised by the
names it enrolled. There was Gerard
Troost, chemist and geologist, an authority
to this day in his line. lie was ono of the
founders of the Philadelphia Academy of
Natural Sciences and its iirst president.
There was Thomas Say, another of tho
founders of tho Philadelphia Academy,
and tho author of scientilic books of first
value. And there was Kafenesque, the
friend of Audubon, the naturalist, and one
of the most valued correspondents and help
ers of the great Cuvier. There, too, was
Wm. Maclure, the father of American geol
ogy, who gathered, at New Harmony, that
costly library of 2,2."D volumes, with many
maps and charts of ereat value, which ho
afterward gave to the American Geograph
ical Societj. at Now Haven. I have the au
thority of our State Librarian, Mr. Dunn,
for tho statement that up to tho year 1SS1
all tho reliable geological researches in tho
State of Indiana was the work of those New
Harmonists of Pose3 county.
"The name of Pobert Dale Owen is also
intimately associated with that region. He
purchased tho Now Harmony estate from
George Pa pp. aud endeavored to establish
his peculiar ideas of community life. It is
true that we haveno sympathy with Owen's
religious views, but wo aro coming, in
these da3's. into what might be called
the Gamaliel period of the church. That
noble old teacher of tolerance moves us
to refrain from men, and let them alone,
because of their religious opinions, 'for if
their counsel or their work be of men, it
will come to nought; but if it be of God, yo
cannot overthrow it, lest haply yobe found
even to tight against God? Kobert Dalo
Owen, however erratic we may think him
concerning his religious views, was cer
tainly a valuable factor in the history of
Indiana. Every woman in the State owes
him a debt of gratitude for the valiaut
victory ho won for them in gaining for
married women the right to acquire and
possess property to their solo use and dis
posal. One of his biographers truly says:
Tho women of Indiana are more indebted
to Robert Dale Owen than to any man, liv
ing or dead, for some of the most valuable
of their legal rights.' Purely tho roll-call
of such men as have been named brings
Posev county to the frout. Wo only dis
play OUT jfiiiorance and want of appreci
ation of some of the best brain work ac
complished in the State, when we ridiculo
the place that the learned of two conti
nents hold in high respect. As with that
little southwest corner, so with the whole
State. There is more inker history to com
mend than to condemn, moro to honor than
to ridicule, far more to praise andadmiro
than to depreciate."
The Doctor then reviewed tho settle
ment of tho State, the struggles of tho
rionecrs and the perils that sarrotinded
them. He said that part of Indiana's his
tory is replete with interest and full of in
spiration; that it is a story of patient toil
vicing with that of the ancient builders
of the great cities on the plains of Shinar.
He paid an eloquent tribute to the indus
trv, bravery and religions devotion and
faith of the pioneers. "There can be no
doubt," the Doctor aid. "of the sincerity
and earnestness of the faith of those days.
Many a pioneer brought his Hiblewith bis
ax from hisEasternhome.andafterthehard
day's labor in the relentless wilderness
found his rest and refreshment in tho green
fastures and beside the still waters of tho
'ather's promises and the Savior's gospel.
Though tho stories of these davs
abound with accounts of a mile
and boisterons life, they are not wanting in
evidences that the power of tho gospel
came in with the pioneer and was given a
large place in his life. We cannot over
estimate the formative Influences some of
these Christians had upon the succeeding
progress of the church m the State. The
Quaker from North Carolina, the
liaptist from Kentucky, the Pres
byterian from Virginia and Pennsyl
vania, and the Methodist from everywhere,
brought with them their faith and earnest
devotiou, and tho impress of their power
and influence is readily traced in the church
of to-dav. The period from the earlier set
tlement of the State to the beginning of the
war is marked by a steady progress in ev
ery department of life. The rude log hut
gave place to tho neat frame cottage and
substantial frame house. Town .and city
grew with the usual American rapidity;
the railroad and tho telegraph brought
their civilizing influences, so that within
the life of a single generation tho wholo
face of the conntrv was changed. Man
had mastered the wilderness; that to which
ho had been a slave now yielded to hispower
and control, and gave him time for the cul
tivation of those better manners, kindlier
ways and gentler modes of life that como
with all human progress and development.
'Then came that dark and stormy period
of tho civil war. Far better than I could
rehearse it here will its story bo told this
week on the site of tho monument and by
the Grand Army camp-tires. Voices that
have been made eloquent by experience,
men upon whom remain its scars, will make
vivid that terrible picture of the past.
This, however, demands utterance
here. Through all that bitter struggle
the Indiana soldier sustained himself with
highest credit and honor. Tho pluck and
determination, the courage and cheerful
endurance of tho hardy pioneer repeated
itself in tho young men who responded to
Lincolu's proclamation and Mortou's call.
Tho President's lirst call for troops was
made on the 15th of April, 1SC1, three days
after the attack on Sumter. I find in the
records that on the same day Governor
Morton telegraphed to Lincoln at Wash
ing: On behalf of tho Stato of Indiana I
tenderyon for the defense of tho Nation and
to uphold the authority of tho
government, ten thousand men. And
the men of Indiana honored the faith
of their impetuous Governor. Ono
of our Stato historians makes tho state
ment that in seven days from the date of Gov
ernor Morton's oiler over threo times tho
number of men required to rill In
diana's quota of the President's call
ottered their services to tho govern
ment. Tho struggle was to get into
tho army, not to keep out of it. Never
in tho world's history did the people of a
State respond more cheerfully and en
thusiastically to tho call of duty than did
tho freemen of Indiana in the6nringof
1WJ1. From Catherine Merrill's 'Indiana
Soldier 1 quote this statement: 'The lirst
regiment to open tire on the enemy was tho
Indiana Seventh, at Philippi, June 3, 1SG1.
Tho lirst man who fell on the lield was an
Indianian, William T. Gerard, of theNinth,
killed at Laurel Hill, W. Va., July 7. It is
believed that John J. Williams, of
Company P. Thirty-fourth Indiana,
killed at Palmetto Ranch. May 13,
1803, was tho last man slain in tho
war.' Theee are but incidental items.
What is of great importance and value is
the fact that Indiana's 200,000 soldiers did
noble, valiant and true service through all
that conflict. Their praise was in all tho
army. We need not depend on Indiana his
torians for testimony to tho honor, bravery
and valuable service of her soldiery; but
wherever you rind a war record you meot
with the heartiest appreciation of the Indi
ana regiments. Tho names of Indiana
troops appear in tho records of over
three hundred battlo-tields. Twenty
live hundred of these bravo men
yielded their lives in tho cause.
You cannot build too costly monuments to
their memory, you cannot exaggerate their
noble deeds, or speak too highly of their
self-sacriiice, or lament too deeply their
death. Let reverence akin to the old hero
worship bo mingled with the celebrating
this week, and let thankfulness to our God
lind a large place in the services that those
who gave their lives died not in vaiu. No
battle-tield has been baptized with moro
procious and purer blood than theirs, and'
upon none has it set more clearly tho seal
of His approving 'well done " than upon
these bravo boys of the sixties. The history
of pioneer life, tho story of the war does
not tell all that can be or should be said of
Indiana. Were our time this morning pro
portioned to the material at hand 1 might
go on by the hour."
In other lines, tho Doctor said, much
might be said of Indiana's pnblic-school
systems, her splendid chantablo institu
tions, and the abundant aggressive and pro
gressive spirit of her church life. He had
een greatly surprised to lind how long is
'. ndiana's list of literary characters his
orians. pOets. novel-writers, essayists,
pamphleteers of the highest order are lound
among her people. In every department of
life, in every industry, Indiana is second
to nono in enterprise, energy, tact and
ability.
The Doctor closed with an eloquent ap
peal to the congregation to remember tho
past, and in Christian devotion and manly
conduct emulate tho teachings it gives.
IlETIf ANY PARK.
A Great Crowd to Hear the Closing Sermons
at This Year's Assembly.
It was claimed that Pethany Assembly
reached its limit last Sunday so far as at
tendance was concerned. However this
may have been, tho attendance was consid
erably larger yesterday than ever before.
The prospect for a crowd did not seem so
good early in the morning, but tho pleasant
weather and the fact that this was the last
day- of ths session brought the people to tho
grounds in great numbers. From Indian
apolis came twenty-one cars, while Colum
bus sent live and Vmcennes eighteen, each
filled with excursionists. During the
greater part of tho forenoon thero was a
continuous procession of vehicles from tho
surrounding country, and at dinner-time
there wero more than 7,000 people in tho
park. Tho Sunday-school of tho morning
was conducted by R. H. Waggeuer, of tho
Standard Publishing Company, Cincinnati.
There were C1C people in attendance.
The first sermon of tho day was by tho
Rev. P. P. Tyler, of New York. His text
was taken from tho iirst chapter
of Hebrews, and applied to his
theme, "The Creed of Christianity."
He lirst spoke of the difference in the faith,
as shown by the various denominations;
but ho held that these dilfereuces were more
numberous between Protestants and Cath
olics. Thero is a principle in each religion,
he said, fioni which springs its peculiarity,
but in speaking of Christianity wo must go
back of all denominational conceptions of
it to that religion which enlightens tho
mind. In the sixteenth chanter of Mark
the Master converses with His disciples,
and asks: "Who do men say that I, tho
son of man, am?" Christ at onco said:
"Plessed art thou, Simon Peter, for flesh
and blood hath not revealed it unto thee,
but my Father which is in heaven." This
was the Master's own indorsement. Tho
creed given by Christ was: "Thou art
in very truth tho Son of God."
Time and time again is this
creed repeated in the New Testament.
This creed must bo accepted personally.
The saving faith is not to believe some
thing about Christ, but to believe in Christ.
When one believes in a person he is willing
to risk himself in his hands- and so tho
Christian must conlido wholly iu Christ.
This creed welds together the Old and New
Testaments, (iod made himself known in
them by revelation. If ono declares faith
in tho creed of Christianity, he declares
faith in the Pible. This creed is the only
platform of unity upon which all can unite.
At J:IX) r. M.IJev. J. U. liriney, of Illinois
preached on "The Intermediate State of
tho Dead." His text was Second Co
rinthians, i, 10. There are two positions,
he said, regarding tho stato of the dead.
The old orthodox view is that thero are two
intermediate places for departed spirits
one for the richteons and another ono for
the wicked. The place for tho righteous is
called paradise, and the spirit of the right
eous man, upon leaving the bodj-, it is said,
goes there, to remain until the resurrection
of tho body and the judgments Under the
gospel teachings, the preacher held, there
is no such intermediate place. A righteous
spirit, he said, upon leaving the body goes
at once to (jod. and enters into His enjoy
ment and fellowship. When Christ shed
His blood it was retroactive in its effects,
ami destroyed the record of tho sins of
(iod's people. The only thing separating a
soul lrom Ood is situ
At 4 o'clock tho commnnion services
were held, and in tho evening Kev. L. H.
Stine, of N'ew Albany, preached from John,
first chapter, ninth verse: "Ye are tho
light of tho world." tho Christ, ho said.
is the real, the true, tho essential light.
Tho light of Christ brings righteousness,
and adorns man with spiritual grace.
Christ is the universal light, and lights
every man coming into the world.
To-day will be devoted to tho work of
moviug, and tho park will bo closed an
other year. This has, without doubt, been
the most successful session in the history
of Pcthany Park.
As to Dr. Ilayllfts's Death.
At Roberts Park Church, yesterday morn
ing. Dr. Keen, in the opening prayer, re
ferred very feelingly to the death of Dr. J.
H. IJayliss. a former pastor of tho church.
In his sermon, also, ho spoko of tho high
character of the deceased as a man and
minister. He referred to his great service
as an editor, and paid a high tribute to all
tho qualities he possessed that made him a
successful pastor. In Dr. Payliss the
church, ho said, lost one of its most ardent
supporters. He was loyal in everything
that won his convictions of right, justice
and Christian manliness. At tho Suu-
day-school, in tho afternoon, the
committee appointed the Sunday before,
to draft resolutions expressivoof the school
and church's high appreciation of Dr. Pay
lis's character and service reported. The
action in selecting this committee
was prompted by the premature an
nouncement at that time of the Doctor's
death. Tho resolutions expressed tho loss
the church and Methodism had sustained,
and the sympathy his parishioners and
children of the Sunday-school felt for tho
bereaved family.
MONUMENT DAT.
A Great Throng of Visitors Coining to Witness
the Corner-Stone Ceremonies.
i
Tho corner-stone ceremonies and tho
visit of tho President to his old homo to
take part in them and greet the veterans,
who will gather by thousands to witness
this event in tho erection of the monument
to dead comrades, is pushing aside for tho
time all other considerations. From now
until the last speech is spoken at the camp
fire, the public mind will bo directed to
everything that belongs to preparation for
tho great day. The event itself would bo
sufficient to attract a great crowd, but as
the railroads have offered liberal rates the
promise is of a throng of people being here
larger than any that has ever collected at
the capital city of a great State.
Nor is this interest contined to old sol
diers, for word comes to many that secret
societies and organizations of all kinds will
be in tho procession. A prominent Odd
fellow yesterday expressed his rogrets that
the Sovereigu Grand Lodgo meeting at
Columbus. O., within a short time, would
prevent many cantons of tho Patriarchs
Militant being here. "Of course,"
he said, "wo would liko to have
them in lino when the corner-stono
is laid, and some will be here, but
not as mauy as we would wish. Tho mem
bers of the cantons feel like that they can
not spare the time for two events coming
so near to each other. They had prepared
to go to Columbus, and hence think they
ought to follow the original programme.
But aside from tho Patriarchs Militant
thero will bo thousands of visiting Odd
fellows in tho city. Many will
come as lodges and encampments
and bo in tho procession. In addition to
these, thero will bo in tho throng, on the
streets, many more. So, notwithstanding,
tho absence of tho cantons, which will bo
represented ouly by those of this city and
Terro Haute, the Odd-fcllows will bo
largely represented."
1 his is only ono instance of what the or
ders propose to do. The Masons, Knights
of Pythias and many of the benevolent so
cieties will bo represented by largo delega
tions from this and other places. Put the
old soldiers will predominate and give the
coloring to tho assemblage of the masses,
as thoy should. It seems to bo their de
sire to come as posts, and to make
theso delegations as large as pos
sible, the veterans who havo not
heretofore joined the Grand Army are
responding readily to Commander Travis's
appeal for them to become members, and
gather hero wearing tho badge of
the order. Assistant Adjutant-general
Walker is answering many letters
daily that are sent by thoso inquiring
as to the details of the processsion
and exercises attending the laying of tho
corner-stono. Put there is still another ele
ment that will enter into the procession,
the militia, many companies of which are
to be in line. If the hotels and boarding
houses should be pushed to their capacity
there are means at hand to provide lor tho
visitors. Tents havo been pro
cured from tho Stato to be
placed on tho State-houso campus,
ami in addition there are halls where lodg
ing can be provided.
Tho many features of tho day's exercises
have already been extensively noticed, and
thero is littlo left for tho Monument Com
mission to do but to look after minor mat
ters so necessary for complete success. Theso
aro well in hand in arranging platforms
and seats about the base of the monument.
The committee of citizens aro actively en
gaged in their several duties, such as secur
ing subscriptions to the fund to be used in
Sayiug expenses, obtaining promises to
ecorate business houses and resi
dences, and preparing for tho
reception of the President. A Boird
of Trade and citizens' committee, consisting
of Mayor Denny, W. H. English. E. U. Mar
tindafo, Albert Gall, J. A. Wildman, Wm.
L. Elder, George G. Tanner, Wm. Scott,
Rev. Dr. Matthew L. Haines and John P.
Frenzcl, has been appointed to escort the
President to the citv. At tho time it was
selected tho possiblo route of his com
ing was by tho Pennsylvania, and that com
mitteo expected to meet him at tho Stato
line. As it is probable he will
como by the way of Cincinnati, the com
mittee will have to go down tho road, per
haps, as far as tho city named, to receive
him. To-dav the arrangements forreception
will be completed, as the G. A. R. committee,
charged with that order's share in it, will
meet at the monument commissioners' room
this afternoon at 4 o'clock. Thero will also
be a meeting to-night of the chorus that is
to sing at the laving of tho couner-stone,
at High-school Hall, for its lirst rehaersal.
Amusement Note.
Thero will be a variety of amusements at
tho local theaters this week. At the Park,
this afternoon and during tho entire week,
George O. Morris and a good supporting
company will produce "A Legal Wrong," a
melodrama with lino scenic effects.

and muddier and dirtier than our own Mis
sissippi. yet chemists from all parts of the
world have come to examine it because of
its marvelous properties for dyeing ami
washing. Tapestry etrocts aro imitated in
wall-papering now with good results.
