Indianapolis, Nov. Mount and Attorney General Ketcham have had another private conference in regard to progress of the apprehension in the Kipley county lynchers. When the conference ended the attorney general would say nothing of the conference or of their hopes, but Governor Mount admitted that the topic of their conference had been the lynching-, and that the outlook was discouraging. "I begin to fear that nothing will result from all the work that been done." he said, "and I would regret tj see my various steps in the matter made public, if my fears are realizi-d. All we can do is to go ahead and do our best toward apprehending the lynchors.

TA.LMAGE GIVES CONSOLATION TO BEREAVED PARENTS. While He Admits That I-lfe Pleasant In Some He It IK Gain to Die 1897, by American Press Assc WASHTS-GTON, Oct. an unusual standpoint Dr. Talmage offer? comfort at the loss of children, and this sermon must be a balsam for many His text is IsaiahIvii, 1, "The righteous is taken away from the evil to tome." We all spend ranch time in panegyric of longevity We consider it a great thing to live to bo an octogenarian. If any one dies in youth, -we say, "What a pity!" Dr.

Muhlenberg, in old age, said that the hymn written in early life by his own hand, no more expressed his sentiment when it said: I would not live ahvay. If one bo pleasantly circumstanced, he never wants to go. William Cnllen Bryant, the great poet, at 82 years of age, standing in my house in a festal group, reading "Thanatopsis" without spectacles, was just as anxious to live as when at 18 years of age he wrote that immortal threnody. Cato feared at 80 years of age that he would not live to "learn Greek. Monaldesco, at 115 years, writing the history of his time, feared a collapse.

Theophrastus, writing a book at 90 years of age, was anxious to live to complete it. Thnrlow Weed at about 86 years of age found life as great a desirability as when he snuff ed out his first politician. Albert Barnes, 80 -well prepared for the nest world at 70, said he would rather stay here. So it is all the way down. I suppose that the last time that Methuselah was out of doors in a storm he was afraid, of getting his feet wet lest it shorten his days.

Indeed I some time ago preached a sermon on the blessings-of longevity, but I now propose to preach to you about the blessings of an abbreviated earthly existence. If 1 were an agnostic, I would say a man is blessed in proportion to the number of years he can stay on terra rirma, because after that he falls off the docks, and if he is ever picked out of the depths it is only to be set up in some morgue of the universe to see if anybody will claim him. If I thought God made man only to last 40 or 50 or 100 years and then he was to go into annihilation, 1 would say his chief business ought to be to keep alive and even in good weather to be very cautious and to carry an umbrella and take overshoes and life preservers and bronze armor and weapons of defense lest he fall off into nothingness and obliteration. But, my friends, you are not agnostics. You believe in immortality and the eternal residence of the righteous in heaven, and therefore I first remark that an abbreviated earthly existence is to bo desired and is a blessing because it makes one's life work very compact.

Some men go to business at 7 o'clock in the morning and return at 7 in the evening. Others go at 8 o'clock and return at 12. Others go at 10 and return at 4. I have friends who are ten hours a day in business, others who are five hours, cithers who are one hour. They all do their work well.

They da their entire work and then they return. Which position do you think the most desirable? You say, other things being equal, the man who is the shortest time detained in business and who can return home the quickest is the most blessed. The Quicker the Better. Now, my friends, why not carry that good sense into the subject of transference from this world? If a person die in childhood, he gets through his work at 9 o'clock in the morning. If he die at 45 years of.

age, he gets through his work at 12 o'clock noon. If he die at 70 years of age, he gets through his work at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. he die at 90, he has to toil all the way on up to 11 o'clock at night. The sooner we get through our work the better. The harvest all in barrack or barn, the farmer does not sit down in the stubble field; but, shouldering his scythe and taking his pitcher from under the tree, be makes a straight line for the old homestead.

All we want to be aniious about is to get onr work done and well done, and the quicker the better. Again, there is a blessing in an abbreviated earthly existence in the fact that moral disaster might oome upon the man if he tarried longer. Recently a man who had been prominent in churches and who had been admired for his generosity and kindness everywhere for forgery was sent to state prison for 15 years. Twenty years ago there was no more probability of that man's committing a commercial dishonesty than that you will commit commercial dishonesty. The number of men who fall into ruin between 50 and 70 years of age is simply appalling.

If they had died 80 years before, ic would have been better for them, and better for their families. The shorter the voyage the less chance for a cyclone. There is a wrong theory abroad that if one's youth ba right his old age will te right. You might as well say there is nothing wanting for a ship's safety except to gee it fully launched on the Atlantic ocean. I have sometimes asked those who were schoolmates or college mates of some great defaulter: "What kind of a boy was he? What kind of a young myT" was he?" and they have said: "Why, he was a splendid fellow.

I bad no idea be could ever go into such an outrage." The fact is the great temptation of life sometimes cornea far on in midlife or in old age. The first time I crossed the Atlantic ocean it was as smooth as a mill pond, and I thought the eea captains and the voyagers had slandered the old ocean, and I wrote home an essay for a maga- on "The of the Sea," bat I afterward conlcmato written tDa-, thing, for before we got home -we got a terrible shaking tip. The first voyage of life may be very smooth; the last may be a euroclydon. Many who start life in great prosperity do not end it in prosperity. The great pressure of temptation comec sometimes in this direction: At about 45 years of age a man's nervous system changes, and some one tells him he must take stimulants to keep himself ap, and ho takes stimulants to keep hirn- self up until the stimulants keep him down, or a man has been going along for 80 or 40 years in unsuccessful business, and here is an opening where by one dishonorable action be can lift himself and lift his family from all financial embarrassment.

He attempts to leap the chasm, and he falls inco it. Then it is in after life that the great temptation of success comes. If a man make a fortune before 30 years of age, he generally it before 40. The solid and the permanent fortunes for the most part do not come to their climax nntil in midlife or in old age. The most of the bank presidents have white hair.

Many of those who have been largely successful have been flung of arrogance or worldliness or dissipation iu old age. They may not have lost their integrity, but they have become so worldly and so selfish under the influence of large success that it is evident to everybody that their success has been a temporal calamity and an eternal damage. Concerning many people, it may be said it seems as if it would have been better if. they could have embarked from this life at 20 or 30 years of age. Do you know the reason why the vast majority of people die before 30? It is because they have not the moral endurance for that which is beyond the 30, and a merciful God will not allow them to be put to the fearful strain.

On the Defensive. Again, 'there is a blessing in an abbreviated earthly existence in the fact; that one is the sooner taken off the defensive. As soon as one is old enough to take care of himself he is put on his guard. Bolts on the doors to keep out the robbers. Fireproof safes to keep off the flames.

Life insurance fire insurance against accident. Receipts lest yon have to pay a debt twice. Lifeboat against shipwreck. Westinghouse airbrake against railroad collision, and hundreds of hands ready to overreach you and take all yon have. Defense against cold, defense against heat, defense against sickness, defense against the world's abuse, defense all the way down to the grave, and even the tomb- Stone sometimes is not a suflkient barricade.

If a soldier who has been on gnard, shivering and stung with the cold, pacing up and down the parapet with shouldered musket, is glad when some one comes to relieve guard and he can go inside the fortress, ought not that man to shout for joy who can put down his weapon of earthly defense and go into the king's castle? Who is the more fortunate, tha soldier who has to stand guard 12 hours or the man who has to stand guard six hours? We have common sense about everything but religion, common sense about everything but transference from this world. Again, there is a blessing in an abbreviated earthly existence in the fact that one escapes so many bereavements. The longer we live the more attachments and the more kindred, the more chords to be wounded or rasped or sundered. If a man live on to 70 or SO years of age, how many graves are cleft at his feet. In that long reach of time father and mother go, brothers and sisters go, children go.

grandchildren go, personal outside the family cir cle whom they had loved with a love like that of David and Jonathan. Besides that some men have a natural trepidation about dissolution, and ever and anon during 40 or 50 or 60 years this horror of their dissolution shudders through soul and body. Now, suppose the lad goes at 16 ears of age? He escapes 50 funerals, 50 caskets, 50 obsequies, 50 awful wrenchings of the heart. It is hard enough for us to bear their departure, but is it not easier for us to bear their departure than for them to stay and bear 50 departures? Shall we not by the grace of God rouse ourselves into a generosity of bereavement which will practically say, "It is hard enough for me to go through this bereavement, but how glad I am that he will never have to go through it?" So I reason with myself, and so yon will find it helpful to reason with yourselves. David lost his son.

Though David king he lay on the earth mourning and inconsolable for some time. At this distance of time, which do you really think was the one to be congratulated, the short lived child or the long lived father? Had David died as early as that child died he wonld, in the first place, have escaped that particular bereavement, then he would have escaped the worse bereavement of Absalom, his recreant son, and the pursuit of the Philistines, and the fatigues of his niilitarr campaign, and the jealousy of Saul, and the perfidy of Ahithophel, and the curse of Shimei and the destruction of his family at Ziklag, and, above all, he wonld have escaped the two great calamities of his life, the great sins of uncleanness and murder. David lived to be of vast use to the church and the world, but so far as his own happiness was concerned does it not seem to yon that it would have been better for him to have gone early? Temptation. Now. this, my friends, explains some things that to you have been inexplicable.

This shows yon why when Gcd takes little children from a household he is very apt to take the brightest, the most genial, the most sympathetic, the most talented. Why? It is because that Mad of nature suffers the most when it does suffer, and is most liable to temptation. God saw the tempest sweeping rsp from the Caribbean, and he put the delicate craft into the first harbor. "Taken away from the evil to come."
