Recent reports from the Young Man's
Christian association iudicato that the value
of the general privileges to wblcli member
ship in the association entitles the holder i
now being appreciated nioro than nt any
previous tlino. At the last meeting of tbo
exoctlvo board , which took place last Satur
day evening , tburo were forty-livo nnjnos
added to tbo roll. Of those forty-one were
non-church members , ana this is regarded as
a good sli'ii , as Indicating the increased in
terest that is being felt in the asboci.itlon by
young men who make no prutentlons to being
what are commonly known as "Sunday school
young men. " The total number of additions
during the past four months has been 101 ,
and it Is thought the number would hnvo
been greater than tins had it not been for the
extreme dullness of thotimusand the scarcity
of nionoy.
At the present rate of mcroastt , the man
agement fear that the bath rooms and the
reading room will soon become too small for
tbo needs of the association , and It Is tholr
Intention to comuienco to agitate the project
of eroding a line building as soon as money
manors brighten up a llttlo. The work of
advancing tlio interests of the association Is
being pushed forward vigorously by Secre

J. O. Lemon returned last Prldny from
Greenville , S. C. , wliero be went to ot four
children who wcro to bo kept In the Christian
home. Whllo on board a train going from
Chicago to Louisville ho bad a chance to
view tbo practical operations of a real , live
Indiana feud , and ho can't say that bo Is par
tlcular about making a closer acquaintance
with the animal. Mr. Lemon's account of
tbo affair Is a voty graphic ono :
"I wns riding along , peaceably enough , In
a chair car , " ssdd bo. "when suddenly the
door opancd and a lot of passengers came
rushing In with fright depleted on tholr
fares.V'o learned that a couple of warring *
families had boarded tbo train and bad com
menced a pitched battle In the car In front of
vs. There were four on a side. A distiller
named Hass , about llfty years of ago , and a
younger man named Tcdd , who bad married
a daughter of Mass' against tbo Inttcr's
wishes , were tbo two cential llguros. Tbo
weildlng , It seems , bad rosulto.l in a deadly
hatred between the distiller and his son-in-
law which , as each bud boasted , could only
bo wiped out by blood.
"Tbo trouble was not diminished any by
tbo fact that Mrs. Hn s loft her husband
aud wont to live with tbo daughter and
her husband. Todil had subsequently
furnished information which led to the old.
man bclni * tried on a cliargo of 'moon
shining. '
"On tbo Kith , which was tbo day when
the bad feeling ro.iched its climax , Todd , his
wife , Mrs. Hass , and a neluhbor named
Turner , boarded tbo train to take a trip ,
.lust as the train was about to start , Bass ,
two of bis brothers and a friend cnteied the
car whore Todd and liK party wcro seated.
As soon as Hass noticed his son-ii.-huy , ho
drew a gun and lli 'd at him. Uv actual count ,
tbcro wcro seventeen shots exchanged , aud
as you may suppose , by the tlmo the two
men had finished their" friendly encounter
their audience had largely left them. That
accounted for tbo sudden increase of tbo
population of the car where I was. None of
tlio trainmen dared to put their noses insldo
tbo door , lor fear of getting hit , and the Uass-
Todd combination ran things their own way.
"Suddenly our door opened again , and
Mrs. llass rushed In. her hair disheveled ,
her face as palo us death , crying out , 'my
husband will kill mo because I loft him ' In
less time than it takes to tell it ,
every passenger in tbo car was
unilor the se.it in front of him , in
the expectation that Mrs. Hass would bo
immediately followed bv her husband , who
had showed such a reckless disregard of tbo
skins of the passengers who bad been In the
other ear. A bright notion suddenly passed
through my betid I seized Mrs. Hass and
shoved her into a toilet room , tcl'mg ' tier to
lock tbo door. In an Instant the door opened
airain and the Uass party rushed In with
pistols , on tbo warpath for the lleelng M s.
Hass. Tliov wunt through the cur , but forgot
to look in the toilet room , and Mrs. Hass was
passed by. If she had been found in tl.ocar
with us I suppose that half of the passengers
in our c.ir would have been perforated , and
very likely the Christian homo would have
had to get n new manager.
"As it was. Turner was knocked otT the
train while It was , going at full speed , re
ceiving a ghastly cut on the siclo of bis head ,
about ten inches long , find receiving internal
injuries that resulted in his speedy death ;
To.ld was shot in tbo back ; ono of tbo Hass
family was shot In tbo back of the head and
it wns thought ho would die. and another was
shot in tbo hand ; Mrs. Todd received a shot
in the hand accidentally from her husband' *
revolver.
' And ns thoiich nil this wasn't enougb ,
within three botirs after nil the excitement
took nlaco wo ran ever n drunken man
aim killed him Tbo next evening , while on
the same train , wo had u collision with a .sec
tion hand who was driving a balky mule , and
both man and mule were killed Instantly. I
made up my mind that I bail as much oxcltc-
inout as was good for my health , and when I
was ready to leave Grconvillo 1 took another
route home. "

A. Hull preached yesterday morn-
tnguttho First Iluptist church , oil iho sub
ject , "Wnitt Saves a MniH" The cnurcb
was well tilled , n largo number of members
of other denominations being present In addi
tion to the members of hU own church.
"Thcolegy changes , " said the speaker ,
men's needs do not change. Human nature
has been tbo same flora the beginning of
i hutnuu wcauuossos are ibo tame today
us a thousand years ago. The moans of I
sntUf.ving .some of thotto need * have changed
to a certain extent , although In general the
mode U the same now M it has always been.
Thosnmorulo prevails In religion. Thcro
have boon ologlos ami isms by the doren ,
yet man's salvation hos In the fact that
Christ dlod for sinners , slnnora of all kinds :
the man who doesn't know enough to hide
his wickedness under the cloaK of apparent
respectability , and tbo dude who sins with
bis kid gloves on. Tno polished gentleman
who knows how to sin without transgress
ing the Inws of otiuuottc Is the more danger
ous of the two.
"Sin never changes. It has many mani
festations , but they all resolve themselves
Into plain , unvarnlshod sin. All those mani
festations are leaves stripped from the tree
of sin. Reformers climb the tree and care
fully trim oil the leavo1) . The trco goes right
on growing , until God strikes at trio root and
the tree falls.
"No ecclesiastical rules can do away with
sin. The only romoJy Is evcilastlng life. A
man may bo the greatest schemar in town
and yet bo dead. Life comes with Jesus ;
without Him It is only cxistunco. You never
heard of a trco taking up the nourishment
from the ground without life power which
hfo gives It ; you never heard ol a sinner re
ceiving the holy spirit without help from
above. .
"When a man fasts ho comes Into closer
connection with God. When a man attends
urayer meeting hU spirit Is revived. Consequently
quently many fast nnd attimd prayer meeting
In order to rome in closer communion with
( oil Hut they commence at the wrong end.
Ttio reason why a man fasts Is tUat ho already
has In his soul the germ of everlasting life.
You can never mnko a man good by getting
him into the church or by giving him the po
sition a good imtn should have. A man
should bo led to join the church by the dovel-
opoment of the germ of life that was Im
planted In him by dlvlno agency.
" 1 don't care whether a man believes in a
heaven or a hell , in sprinkling or Immersion ,
Just so bo has eternal l fn. I don't say that
beliefs are unimportant ; ' I do say that there
are those , who in heathen daritncss have
found the true light , while In civill/ed
countries there are many who arc depending
for salvation on what Is merely ono of the
wheels of the machinery of salvation. On
judgment day the question won't be , wlun
position did you have in the church , but ,
have you light ! "
"When wo see n man or n woman trying to
satisfy his loticings on the husks of tbo
world , wo ought to icjoicc , for it shows
merely that tuoy are seeking after C5od. Tbo
covetous man , \\lio approaches the uravo
with his back stooping under the weight of
years , whoso wife has been deprived of all
tbo blessings of life in order that her hus
band may noar.l bis monoy. that man is seek
ing after Ciod. Ilo will d"io with the bag full
of money , but bo will not die
satisfied. Bternal life Is what ho
wants. Christ offers you this llfo this
morning. It moans continual ups nnd downs.
Hut look at a .ship making Its own way across
tbo ocean ; it goes ilrst In ono direction , and
then in another. At almost no tlmo it is
point : In the exact direction of Its destina
tion. And yet , viewed as a whole , tbo direc
tion of the Journey is almost in a straight
lino. There's life in the eneines of the boat
nnd she goes on buttling with the waves and
the winds.
"I've no sympathy with the sanctified
Christianity which is dead to sin , dead to the
world and dead to humanity.Vvo got
thousands of that kinds of Christians in the
grave yards. I like a Christian that has llfo
enough to scratch around. Unless n church
has lifn there will bo no spirit. And unless
there Is spirit there will bo no friction and
the church will go to the wall. Go into tbo
Sunday school , the workshop ; go every
where , and bring in sinners. Go drink of
the water of life , got on board a largo stork
of surplui energy , and you will bo surprised
how much more easllv your work will move
along. Got life , and you are all right. "

THE BEE'S ' GREAT BUREAU OF CLAIMS ,
It ItpfViPiKtM Srttl6r ,

nnil N Conimemlctl hy the
HlKlicjt Authority.
Mtn who have had claims against tbo pov
eminent and employed professional agents to
represent them before the deoartnionts In
Washington , toll strange stories of tricks
nnd rascality to which they were subjected
nt the hands of these merciless .creatures
There are of course , some honest men among
these agents ; but there are so many that are
notoriously corrupt , that It Is almost im
possible for a claimant , unless ho bo direct
ed by n well-Informed Individual , to llnd ono
in whom ho can place Implicit conlldenco.
Tun HIE has received hundreds of com
plaints from soldiers and other * who had
advanced money when so desired and who
waited for years nnd yet failed to receive any
information as regards what the sharks had
done with either money or claim.
Tun IU.RUIXS also been requested to recom
mend reliable ngonts nnd has , In this way ,
served to protect the people from fraud and
robbery. Hut that did no eood to the people
who had fallen Into the hands of sharks. As
rapidly as the latter were shown up , now
ones with new Iricks and rascality took their
places.
There was but ono means loft and that waste
to establish n great bureau of claims. This
idea was suggested to n numuor of people but
was put Into practice ) flrst by the San Fran-
cico Examiner.
With the Examiner , Tun ltiilms : cooperated
ted 1 n the great work of alfordlng relief to
worthy claimants.
The Washington correspondent of the Ex
iiminer , Mr. John VVcddcrburn , who has nlso
acted as private secretary to Senator Hearst ,
was detailed to organize and take charge of
the bureau. His long service in Washington
in both these capacities had given bun a largo
acquaintance with government ofllclals and
government methods. Knowing the men
and the proper procedure to follow , ho was
chosen as well quallllcd to pusli claims
through in tbo shortest time If they wore
Justly duo.
The best lawyers to bo had were then em-
traced and a full clerical force put into the
bureau. In every Instance the men wcro
chosen for their knowledge of the work to bo
dono.
Congress was not los < anxious to protect
claimants from robbery. The snino kind of
complaints had como to Tin : fir.i : and gene to
the members of congress as well. The com
mittees that had the Indian depreciations bill
under consideration investigated the opera
tions of the claim agents and attorneys In
connection with the Indian depredations
eluiins. They fouud that the claim aircnts
had demanded : ! : ! ' ( , to 50 per cent from the
men holding the claims , mid in hundred * of
cases held contracts at tbeso ligures. While
the bill was still in congress , with llttlo np-
patent chance of pjssngo , they were able , by
metnods dangerously near the line of false
pretenses , to induce the claimants to sign the
exorbitant demands.
There appeared to be only ono way to pro
tect the claimants. That was to cancel all
contracts by law and limit the fees that at
torneys might collect. The claimants would
thus be enabled to cheese another agent if
tlio one they nad lirst engaged had attempted
to defraud thorn , and ttio contracts could not
demand moro than the specified rate.
Tno ninth section of. the bill was thus
drawn to annul "all sales , transfers or as
signments of claims" and "all contracts here
tofore mado. " The maximum fco to bo al
lowed was put at 15 per cent of ttio amount
collected except in case of claims under KQO
or where unusual work had to bo done , when
20 per cent might b < j allowed.
The amount of business received imme
diately after the opening of the bureau is a
proof of the confidence In which the people
bold It and of the distrust which the ordi
nary claim agent lias aroused. In the six
weeks , front April 1 to May 15 , claims to the
amount of $4J' > .r > , : ui.li5J < ! were filed with the
uurcau on account of Indian depredation
claims alono. All these go to the court of
claims under the act and are in various
stages of preparation and prosecution. He-
sides the claims unuur the Indian dcprcda-
tion act thcro had boon Hied at that date
treasury claims to the amount of $ J'I)4 : ! ( ! ! ) ;
French spoliation claims to the amount of
$ > . > S > , S < 33 : laud claims , $ JS9UO : ; and patent
and other claims to a largo amount. Since
that date some j > J,000OUO of claims have been
filed with the bureau , and It is now attending
overOUOOOOof claims.
The need for the bureau may well bo seen
by the fact that it now has on hand moro
claims than all of the claim attorneys of
Washington combined.
Tlio efforts of congress and the establish
ment of the bureau was not appreciated by
the claim agents. They wanted to continue
to thrive in their business of lleocbiR tlio
needy claimant. They accordingly denounced
the government niul the bureau. They hold
that the former could not cancel the contracts
they hull made with their victims. Hut the
cancellation was imido In tbo interest and
name of the pcop'o. And it need not bo
doubted that the eminent constitutional law-
> oars who framoi1 the act in question did not
do so without knowing what they were
doing The threats of the sharks undoubtedly
hud n > i olfect upon some men who desired to
make now contracts and secure the services
of some other nt tornoy , hut this effect will
soon bo destroyed and the emancipation of
tlio claimant from the tyranny of the shark
will bo complete.
The amount of raonov that will bo saved to
the people by this work of Tin : Hiu : Hi KUAU
or Ci.UMS.may not bo calculated. It will cor-
tuiuly bo very great. Tlio work will bo done
as near n.'tu d cost as possible. Some of it
will not cost moro than 5 per cent , while
much of It can bo done within the 1.1 and 'JO
per cent allowed by law. In some cases the
JO per cent may bo required. It is the Inten
tion , however , to give the claimant the betio-
lit of the lowest charges that will cover the
expenses of the .service.
Tin : Dm : Ik iu.uf : will prosecute claims In
the supreme court of the United States , the
court of claims , thosovoral courts of the Dis
trict of Columbia , before the committees of
congress nnd the executive departments. U
will sccuio the piymontof just. Indian dopro-
datlou claims , land claims , pension claims ,
mining pru-emptlon and homestead eases and
obtain patents at minimum cost and the

There nro thousands yut who are entitled

ately to the bureau. There are thousands of
heirs , widows , minor children , dojumdont
mothers , fathers and minor dependents ,
brothers mid sisters who are entitled to pen
sions and should write .to Tin : HIK : bureau
concerning them. Uudnr recent legislation a
liberal incivasoin petitions has been allowed
and Ilio-io who are ( infilled to this should
write to Tin : Urn Hurean Claim association.

"Fow public men hnvo as much to im
pel them as Major MeKinley , who is
Ohio's republican candidate for gov
ernor , ' ( said a woman to a reporter of
the Hallimoro Amotican. "If the people
ple only knew as much about Major
McKinloy's domestic life ah I do , ' ' con
tinued tlio woman , "they would admire
Hie man moro. On , hut how Mrs. Me
Kinley does love her husband and
inspire him in his win-k ! Slio is an
invalid of many years' snlVering , but she
is the most patient , Hwoot-tL'tnpcreil
woman you over saw. You know Major
and Mr ? . McICinley have lived hoi out
lliis hotel twelve or llfteon years , and
wo who have lived here , too , during
that time have s-eon something of the
devotion between the wife and Iho
author of Iho now larill law.
"Most mon win ) hnvo so many atten
tions shown them by the public , who
are invited out every day and night lo
homo dinner , lunch , supper , caucus , con
ference , political or other mooting ,
would , nfter a number o' years at least ,
bo forgetful of their wives , especially if
tlio wives were invalids , and would
seldom bo found at homo of mghls. lint
it is not so with Mayor Mckinley. I In
would always prefer to sit down hero in
his littto parlor , just oil from their bedroom -
room , and spend an evening with his
wife , than attend the grandest banquet
and receive the applause of tlio people.
"Mrs. Mclvinloy can never hnvo too
much other husband's presence , " con
tinued tlio woman , who had
known these two persons for very many
years. "Sho invariably sits at tlio
window where she can see her husband
depart in the morning and got the lirst
possible glance of him when ho returns
for lunch or dinner , and you can see her
eyes dull with pain or light witli happi
ness as ho leaves or disappears around
the corner , and then reappears upon his
return. Her husband is everything to
her for she cannot walk without hU sup
port , and never goes out without her
husband. She lias trouble with lior
spine , poor , sweet woman , and looks as
delicate as a lily. She always has his
photograph in her lap when ho doee
any needlework , of which she is fond ,
anil her maid can tell at a glance in her
eyes if she is thinking of tlio
absent husband , for she looks hap
piest then. Never a word of coin-
plaint escapes her lips. No pain , anxi
ety or suspense shows itself if ho is
about. They are like two sweethearts
indeed. Such devotion between man
and wife after a married life of well , I
suppose It must ho about twenty years
I haven ever soon.
"When Major and Mrs. McKinley
were leaving the hotel , and wo had all
s.iid good-by , one lady remarked that
'the next time you come back , Mrs. Me-
Kinley , it will be to live at the white
house. ' 'No , ' was the reply , 'I hope
not. ' When asked whv she would netlike
like to bo in tlio white house , whore
every woman wanted to live , she said :
'I hnvo seen so little of Major McKin
ley at times .hero that I hope wo may
never return to Washington.1 And I
know she meant it. Mrs. MeKin oy is
tlio most sincere woman you could find.
There is nolhinir affected by her. You
can toll it all in her at a glance.
"And she helps her husband so much
in his work. Not by suggesting to him
what ho should or should not do , but by
giving him bolf-rolianco. I doubt if she
lias much of an idea what ho Is going to
say in a hlll-or speeeli or report. Shy'
tolls him that ho will bay just the right
thing ; that ho is strong and good and
wise , and that if ho only tries ho can do
anything , My ! hut she fairly forces into
him conildenco. Tlio man who said ho
would rallior hnvo confidence than capi
tal must litivo known of Mrs. McKinloy's
confidence in her husband.
