A meeting of delegates to the Catholic Federation convention to be held In Cin cinnati thl3 week was held last night in St. John's Hall. All of the delegates assigned by the pocietie of this city were not pres ent. At the meeting the question of In diana's part In the convention was dis cussed. It Is said that if the convention net year Is to be held In. a Western city a. rtrong flKht will be made to bring It here. From reports received 3,0 delegates will attend the Cincinnati meeting, represent ing 1,500 societies. As the meeting this week Is the tlrst since the organization of the Federation, one year ago, at I-ong Bianch. N.

Oxtoby, of Mimele, nntl Dedicatory Itemarka hy Her M. 1j. Haines. The dedicatory services at the new tem porary tdlfb to be used by the congrega tion of the First Presbyterian Church, at Alabama ami Fifteenth streets, were held yesterday morning. With the programme of exercises was printed the following statement: 'The First Presbyterian Church of Indianapolis now enters the fourth edifice erected by it since its or ganization. July 5, The first buildinj? stood on Pennsylvania street, near Market. It was a frame structure fifty-four feet by thirty-four, and was the tlrst church edifice erected in the city by any religious de nomination. After twenty years in 1843 the second edifice was erected. It was of brick and stood on the northeast corner of the circle and Market street. The main audience room was seventy-five feet by fifty, with a gallery over the entrance. It was spoken of at the time of Its dedication "as the largest and finest house of worship In the State." After twenty-four years in 107 the main audience room of the fourth edifice was occupied. This was the build ing which for more than a. third of a century stood on the corner of Pennsylva nia and N4jw York streets, and which has recently been purchased by the government and torn down. The fourth edifice now completed and to be dedicated this day is sixty feet by forty-two in size, with a transept or wing twenty-one by twenty four. Being located within so short a dis tance of the site of the new permanent edifice, which will soon begin to bo erected on the corner of Delaware and Sixteenth streets, it Is expected to furnish convenient and comfortable accommodations for the worship and work of the congregation un til that fifth structure is completed." ItKV. W. II. OXTODY'S SERMON. There was a special programme of music, a sermon by Rev. William II. Oxtoby, of Muncie, and a short dedicatory address by the pasto.r, Rev. M. L. Haines. Rev. S. C. Dickey was to havo been present to offer prayer, but was detained at home by the illness of a son. Mr. Oxtoby preached from the text found in the fifteenth chapter and fifteenth verse of the gospel of John: "Henceforth I call you not servants, but friends." Mr. Oxtoby discussed the friendship of man and talked of th friendship that Christ has for humanity. He said that even In this commercial age friendship com mends itself. Men have a way of saying that such a one will do "to tie to," mean ing that the friendship of that one Is to be trusted and valued. One glory of the friendship that Christ offers to each of us is the assistance that He gives to us in time of need. The friends that we can tie to are the friends that we can really prize, the speaker said. He spoke of the friend ship of IJncoln and of Tennyson and Car lyle. He asserted that one value of the divine friendship is the privilege of talk ing things over with the Savior. "And is not this the real meaning of prayer?" the speaker asked. Mr. Oxtoby thought that people should not think that prayer Is the vision of the Idealist ad belongs to the realm of the vague. "Could we have gone to the White House," he said, "the day before the battle of Gettysburg, President Lincoln mip:ht have been found on his knees pleading with God that this was His country, and His war." Mr. Oxtoby said that a few moments spent in prayer would enable the lawyer to write a better brl.'f. would enable the carpenter to plane a smoother board. The speaker thought there should be more of the spirit of righteousness In our public life; more of the ypirit of Christ in business not merely the writing of the Golden Rule on the wall, but the working of the spirit of God in everyday life. "There lU but one con dition on which the friendship of Christ Is based." said Mr. Oxtoby. "Would we be known as the friends of Christ we must first be known as His servants. This friendship can be given to us all if we are willing to walk through the valley of service." Mr. Oxtoby thought that in most of the large cities there are three unsaved souls to one Joined to the Savior. There Is work to do in every community, he said. REV. M. I HAINES'S REMARKS. Following the sermon and preceding the special service and prayer of dedication the pastor, Rev. M. L. Haines, made an address. In the course of which he said: "This day marks the beginning of a new era in the life of this historic church. We believe it Is the first step towards enlarged power and usefulness. It is an Important movement for us because of so great a change In location. The changes In lo cation of the first three edifices occupied In succession by the church were compar atively small. For all three of those edi fices were down town and not far from the Circle. Rut now at one stride the church has moved more than a mile to the north. And yet In this northward movement the church has been preceded by the majority of Its members, who now have their homes In this part of the city. So in coming here we are coming much closer to our people, and expect to have from now on the added advantage and efficiency which comes from work at short range. "The change from the stately edifice on the corner of Pennsylvania and New Y'ork streets to this exceedingly plain structure Is Indeed a marked one. Rut, as you see, we have, here an audience room which is home-like, and. I may add. churchly. "This structure was erected In less than four weeks, and the credit of pushing the work to such a speedy and satisfactory conclusion is due to three of your officers Messrs. C. C. Foster, James W. Lilly and 1. Hamilton Pattlson. While so plain and unpretentious on the outside, the church rooms, as you see. heated by a hot water service, and lighted by electricity, afford pleasant and comfortable accommodations for our worship and social work. We do not expect to be frozen out, as we have been for two or three weeks, each winter durin the last four years. I believe that our stay in this building will be a help to our church life by bringing us closer to gether; by breaking up that bondage to a routine formalism which long abiding in one place tends to develop. We have been peculiarly blessed in this church In the years gone by in maintaining what the apostle beautifully describes as the 'unity of the spirit In the bonds of peace. Made up. as our church Is, of all sorts and con ditions of men, we have yet maintained unbroken by discord or dissension a unified fraternal fellowship. Intellectually stami nating. spiritually elevating. "Such a church life as we have and re joice in cannot be built up in a day or a year. Some people seem to think that when they have built a new houe, with all modern improvements, and have It well furnished, they will have a home ready to walk Into. It is a mistake. You cannot walk Into a ready-made home, or a ready made church. "A true church, like a true home, is the result of long ywars of growth, until that church comes to be a part of our life. It is ttullt Into n ami we u re hullt into it by a thousand tender and sacred experi ences. In "Elsie Venner" the tory U t l 1 1 of n ronnrtgatlon that built a. new edifice. Hut they had such precious ex- perknees In the old chapel In which they had worshiped that they could not Rive it up; and so decided to brlnx the chapt-1 ami Inclose It within the wall? of the new and lrer bulKlln. So we pray and hop it will he with us. All that has ben rich and sacred In the life of this church In the hmp years of its history we believe we shall brinx with us now to this new loca tion. To-day the call of (Jod comes to us not merely to dedicate this building, but to dedicate ourselves anw to I Ilm and in the sacred fellowship of His worship and i work, in the confident faith that He will l-ad us onward in paths of richer experi ences and greater efficiency. Most of all we shall expect to prize this place because here, if we are loyal to Him. God will ful fill His promise and make this structure that we now dedicate a true 'tabernacle of the congregation.' As it is translated In the revision 'tent of meeting.' That means the place where Cod meets His covenant people and gives unto them ever new and richer disclosures of His wisdom and lov." Three Cnrly Mnrntiii? Fire. A fire early yesterday morning at the Atlas ftijnm- works damaged the old build ing formerly used as a letting room to the t-xtent of Jljo. The fire Malted from a zu jet. A dfe-tl- tlu in the house occupied by Matt luukwuui1. at lTlu Ilrookaldu ttvenue. caused a fire at 5 o'clock yesterday morn ine. the loss being estimated at $1.J".

Oorgp Rosenthal nntl Lewi "VI1- IlnniN, Floth Colored, I nder Arrest. Patrolman Ixe, as he was going from early morning roll call yesterday, found George Rosenthal, colored, sitting on a bread box In front of a grocery store. He had with him five ducks, two chickens and one turkey. Lee thought It was either too earlj- or too late for a negro to be in le gitimate possession of so many fowls, and as he could not give a good excuse why they were with him. he was sent to police headquarters and charged with petit lar ceny. He claimed a man named Louis Williams had given them to him. I-.ee found Williams on the street and sent him In alo. A few questions showed that Williams knew something about the plun der, und later it was learned that the poul try house of J. R. Uudd &. Co. had been en tered during the night and a number of fowls taken. The additional charge of burglary was put against both Rosenthal and Williams. STABILITY OF THE TRUTH SUIJ12CT OF SEHMOX HY THE HEY. YIUGIL. Y. TEYIS. Ilenvrn nntl Earth Will Pass Airny, nntl J'lnnvti llre IleI, but IIa mau Nature Is Same. At the Fletcher-place Church yesterday morning the Rev. Virgil W. Tevls, the pas tor, preached from Matthew, xxlv, 35: "Heaven and earth shall pas away, but my words shall not pass away." Mr. Tevls said in part: "Apparently the world was made to stand forever. Its hills look eternal. Its founda tion is of granite. The cords of gravity which hang it are as powerful as when God hung it out in the spaces. The sun is Just as lavish in scattering light as when it smiled upon the Garden of Eden. Rut the seeds of dissolution are in everything. Some planets are even now dead. The moon is but a planetary corpse, whose pale face merely retlects the light of the King of day. The dissolution goes on. Old things pass away, and the new comes upon the stage of action. Flowers bloom but to fade. Heaven and earth will pass away. Time Is a wonderful magician, who transforms ev erything he touches. "Christ says that amid the changeable His words are enduring. A word Is but the expression of an Idea a thought, a truth. His words have the Immortality of truth. Truth is eternal. A fact Is always a fact. Human nature has been the same in all ages. Men are constituted now precisely as they were In the beginning. It Is pa thetic to study the romances of years ago and reflect that nothing is left of the actors but ashes. Hearts were wooed and won yesterday, as to-day. The comedy and tragedy of life were as real yesterday as to-day. The stage settings and the cos tuming were different, but the actors had the same play. The same underlying laws govern men to-day as when the Saviour was upon earth. Money cursed men when the young men of great possessions went away sorrowful. The red hand of murder has smeared the pages of the history of every age since the days of Cain. The sighs of the human heart for a better life have swelled into sounds like the breathing of the ocean in the years gone by. The soul In all ages has had Its divine original stamped upon it. and the rough hand of sin has not wholly ohllterated it. Now, the words of our Saviour dealt with human character. Regarding this the truthfulness of Christ's words stands unchallenged. He taught men how to reach an ideal ' fe. It Is one thing to make a visionary pattern for a life, and quite another to live It j'our self and to teach men how to obtain it. Christ lived the ideal life and taught men how to obtain the same heights. The put ting Into practice the precepts he taught made St. Paul out of Saul of Tarsus. Saul was only a man like other men, but with his silent partner ho became Paul, unlike the most of men. These same precepts have lost none of their efficacy to-day. He taught men how to die an Ideal death. He robbed it of its sting and snatched victory from the Jaws of the tomb. The boast of the founder of our church was, 'Thank God, our people die well.' It Is true that since that day conditions have changed, but a man Is still a man. A modern organ has been evolved from the old melodlan, but It has the same keyboard and the same combination of sounds. "Christ spoke with authority. His style of oratory was unlike that of any man. 'He spake as one having authority." His messages were from beyond the stars. They were the Father's loving, tender words to a lost world, which he loved. "His words were of infinite depth. Some words convey all their meaning in one com prehensive glance; His were profound. Men have grown since those days wondrously grown. To-day we touch the stars. We have brushed aside the sable garments of mystery, and, like Jupiter, we hold the lightnings In our hands. Still all His words are deeper than our knowledge. "As long as the world has its sorrows that long-will it need the balm of Glload. As long as the troubled mariner on life's high seas seeks the harbor that long will his eye3 seek the star of Bethlehem. As long as death seeks victims among men that long will the hungry eye seek the pres ence of Him who said: 'I am the resurrec tion and the life.' " THE n00K OF J0II. "Illtthteouanenn for It Own Sake DiNcnneI hy Ilr. Stannfleld. The Rev. Joshua Stansfield, of Meridian street Methodist Church, yesterday morn ing preached the second of his series of sermons on the Book of Job. His subject was "Righteousness for Its Own Sake." He said the book reveals the various concep tions of God, and that the great thing Job had to fight against was the theory that if men were good, religious and true God would take care of them and they would be prosperous. He said it Is a most griev ous error that conditions the goodness of God upon the character of men, whereas, the truth is God is so Infinitely good and wide and holy that He shows himself in all His grandeur of character toward the weakest, neediest and worst. This errone ous conception of God brought great dif ficulties in Job's case. But through . all these difficulties, he said. Job remained a tirm believer in God and uttered the text, "Though He slay me. yet will I trust Him." The visit of Job's friends. Dr. Stanstleld said, helped to make his difficulties more perplexing, with their false views of God and false philosophy of life. Rather than he untrue to himself an1 tol. the speaker paid, Job renounced the religions views of his age because they did not properly ap ply to th rinhteousness of living, and be cause they reflected a selfishness as a work for wage theory.

"Work of nn Indiana 3Inn Who AVa Pofttmanter for n Minute Sun day Visltorn nt Hotels. The story of how Col. John C. Wlngate happened to have a town named after him was brought out In an Interesting way in a conversation in the lobby of the Denton Hotel the other evening. Wlngate, a vil lage of about live hundred people, Is situ ated in a prosperous district of Montgom ery county, on the line of the Clover Leaf Railroad. It Is there that Colonel Wlngate, of the State Tax Board, has his home, and it is there that the colonel has lived for a good many years. Back in tho eighties, when the Clover Leaf was first built, it was made a narrow gauge road, and Colonel Wlngate was one of those who took an active part In Its pro motion. The town where Colonel Wlngate lives ;as then known as Pleasant Hill. It so happened that the line of the Clover Leaf touched a town in Ohio of the name of Pleasant Hill, and the officials of the road decided to change the name of the Montgomery county town. The question was, what should the town be named? It was decided .to name the place after John C. Wingate as a sort of recognition of his services in behalf of the road. It has been intimated since that the naming of the town was about the only remuneration Col. Wingate ever received for the Interest he took in the road. General Corse was pres ident of the road at that time. Eli Mar vin, of Frankfort, was a director, and Capt. W. H. Hart, who then resided at Frankfort, was also a director. At length, when the road was finished as far as Pleas ant Hill, it was decided to have a gala day at Wlngate In honor of the event. A day was selected, and a train was run down from Frankfort carrying a great crowd of excursionists. Ell Marvin brought with him a telegram from the president of the road announcing that he should make known to the people gathered there that It had been decided to adopt the name for Pleasant Hill that had been suggested. Mr. Marvin called Colonel Wingate aside and informed him of the contents of the tele gram, telling him that the town was to be named in his honor. The colonel was very modest about the matter, and reluctantly consented, but finally allowed Mr. Marvin to make a speech and announce the news. Of course, there was great cheering, and Colonel Wingate made a happy response. Subsequently, however, the Democrats of the locality kicked up a rumpus over the naming of the town, and the matter was made a political Issue. It finally reached Washington, and the Postofflce Department changed the name of the postofflce at Wln gate to Whitlock. For a time the postof lice and the town had different names. During General Harrison's administration the postollice was changed back to Wln gate in a rather unusual way. An Indiana man. happening to be in Washington, called at the Postohice Department and was asked by Mr. Clarkson, of that depart ment, what he could do to better the serv ice in Indiana. The Indiana citizen re marked that he knew what he would do if he were postmaster for just one minute. "Well," responded Clarkson, "I'll make you postmaster for one minute." "All right," said the Indiana citizen, and he then asked for the papers in the Wingate Whltlock muddle. After hurriedly going through the documents he wrote an order declaring that the postoflice at Whitlock was to be changed to conform with tho name of the railroad station Wingate. "Your time's up," said . Clarkson. "All right," replied the Indiana man, "I've ac complished all I want to, and am ready to be a private citizen again." Thus took place the metamorphosis of the postoflice of Whitlock. CO-EDICATIOX AT AVADASII. Dr. John L. Campbell Point Ont the Reason Why It In ot Feasible. Dr. John L. Campbell, professor of phj'sics and astronomy of Wabash College, spent Sunday in the city. Dr. Campbell has long been connected with this hon ored institution, and his name Is associated with its most sacred memories. He says the financial agent of the institution, a Mr. Leonard, is now hustling hard to raise funds with which to construct a dormi tory where those young men who are not able to afford more sumptuous quarters may sleep and dine in a boarding house that will be connected for less than 3 a week. It is the purpose to erect a build ing that will cost about $-k),eX, if the finan cial agent is successful in his work. Dr. Campbell says he believes the class of younK men who cannot afford to pay much for their board and lodging really make the best class of students. About 175 stu dents are now attendinK Wabash ColleRe, which Is an increase over hist year. Dr. Campbell Is not opposed to coeducation in the abstract, but is rot hopeful of the col lege being able to admit women in the near future. "In our present condition to have co education would be disastrous," he said yesterday. "I am not opposed to coedu cation in the abstract, but as a practical question In connection with Wabash Col lege at the present time it does not seem to me to be feasible. To make coeducation a success there sho ild be ample accommo dations and supervision, so that parents would feel that their daughters, when they were pent to Wabash College, were being well cared for. There would have to be some change In the curriculum of the college before we could admit women. The main purpose of a man Is to earn the liv ing. The main purpose of the woman Is to make the home. Consequently the training for these two must be different. We would have to add to the curriculum those things that are essential to the proper training of a woman." Dr. Campbell is in doubt about co education coming to Wabash until its financial condition is such that It can pre pare to receive young women and care for them as carefully as their parents would desire. i Gossip About Senator Fleming. The presence of Senator Sam B. Fleming, of Fort Wayne, in the city last night re vived the gossip concerning him and the chairmanship of the Democratic state com mittee. Mr. Fleming has made a number of visits to the city recently, and although he unblushinKly denies that there is any political significance about these trips to Indianapolis, it is asserted that he is being strongly urged to take the chairmanship of the new committee, and some of the wise ones go further than this and declare he will accept the place. Those who are well acquainted with Mr. Fleming declare that he is one of the most popular Democrats in the State, and this fact, they' say, tak-n with his recognized ability as a business man and manager of Important interests. would make Ills services very valuable to the committee. IlellpTen In Heireeiiln(l vr I.n ml la. A. R Anderson, of Crawfordsville, a close personal friend of Hepresentative C. H. Landls, was at the Denison Hotel last niht. Mr. Anderson says that since How ard county has been added to the Ninth district that district Is more reliably Re publican than ever. "Mr. Landis will lo renominated without opposition." said Mr. Anderson last night. "He Is stronger in thi district than ever before." Mr. Ander son's name is bein mentioiif-d in connec tion with the United States circuit judge ship. Meeting of Lincoln I.engne, Arrangements are making for a meeting of the officers of the Lincoln . League, at the Hotel Denison, the night of Dec. CO. This will be the nicht before the Republican love feast to be held in this city. The league meeting will also be In the nature of a love feast.

Openshnvr Sa They Arc FT 1 e n 1 1 y to Mlaalonarle. Rev. H. J. Openshaw, a missionary re turned from China, lectured at the College-avenue Baptist Church last night. He Is on a vacation, after spending seven years In the extreme western part of China. In the district where he was lo cated he says the Chinese are unlike those of the eastern and southern part, the pre dominant class in this country, and the men are of fine stature and as large as white men. Mr. Openshaw said the popu lation of western China Is about 50.0X),e, with but 200 missionaries to spread the gospel. Mr. Openshaw is an Interesting story teller, and held his audience for an hour, describing the manners, customs and char acter of the Chinese. He said the first thing a missionary had to do upon enter ing China was to conform as nearly as possible to Chinese customs. He went to China with a party of twelve, and told how they all had their heads shaved and used for a cue a small hat with a braid of Chinese hair fastened on the inside; the adoption of Chinese wearing apparel, and lastly a mastery of the language. The method of spreading the gospel he said had to be closely studied. The mis sionaries have churches in which services are held, but this Is not the only means of preachrng. The tea shops are resorts fre quented by all Chinamen, and they sit about and gossip, telling each other the happenings in their respective communi ties. The missionaries go to these places, talk their religion and It Is carried from one to another until the whole community is talking about It, discussing It and in quiring what it is. The missionaries and Chinese soon become the best of friends he said, and they are easily converted to the new faith when once interested. WOODRUFF PLACE MYSTERY. Attempt of n Yonng "Woman to Take Her Own Life. Woodruff Place has a mystery. It has existed since Friday afternoon, and per sons living there have been unable to as certain the facts, so closely has the secret been kept. Friday afternoon two young women went to a drug store on East Tenth street and asked for a physician to attend a young woman of Woodruff Place who had taken poison. Dr. Stevenson was sum moned. He attended the young woman, but did not learn her name. Neither did he learn the name of the family living there or whether the woman who had taken poison was a member of the family. Families living next door said. they did not know who lived at the house to which tire physician was called. Some of them had heard of an attempted suicide there, but were unable to learn the facts. One per son said the woman was despondent be cause of domestic trouble, which caused a Reparation between herself and her hus band, and also because she had the day before lost her position at a downtown store. The family moved to Woodruff Place very recently, and either be cause its members are of a retiring dis position or residents of Woodruff have been neglectful of social duties their iden tity has not become known.
