BISHOP FOWLER TALKS HIS LECTURE ON “GREAT MEN AND GREAT DEEDS” LAST EVENING. Robert* Park Church Crowded-En-tertninfnii Stories and Brief Character Sketches. Bishop Charles H. Fowler, of Buffalo, N. Y., delivered his celebrated lecture, ‘‘Great Deeds of Great Men,” at Roberts Park Church last night. A large audience was present. This lecture of the bishop’s is in ev m a more popular vein than his masterly essay on Abraham Lincoln, which created such a favorable impression several weeks ago. He told striking anecdotes of tho great leaders of all ages and all countries, coming to the Americans last. He recalled the sayings of the Greeks of antiquity—that it is better to have an army of stags led by a lion than an army of lions led by a stag. One reason of so much trouble in the last few years in this country in political circles, he said, was “because we have had too many stags trying to lead. Now,” he added, “if you can tell which party I belong to by that you can do more than I.” One of his stories was loudly applauded. It was about a colored man down in Mississippi who w'as the color bearer of a Union troop. In the midst of the tight men all around him were slain and he was far in advance of the line, bravely upholding the flag alone. The captain saw him. “Come back hire,” he shouted, “or the flag will be taken.” “Cap’n,” shouted he in reply, “dis heah nag nevah goes back. Bring on your army!” Whether a man is great or not, he said, can never be known until he is tested. “You can ne'er know what a man is worth until you need him.” Greatness, he maintained, is of slow growth, although now and then a man like Richard the Lion Hearted is born ready for the strife. “Nothing that is worth having comes on quickly. Coming events cast their shadows before. Mushrooms grow' in a night—so do mushheads, but great men grow in decades. Greatness is of slow growth. Great men are selfpoised, not self-centered. The self-centered man is selttsh. He digs the sand from under his own feet, prepares his own grave, and God always pushes him in and covers him up. The self-poised man believes in himself. Men who reach results believe in themselves, in their destiny, in their stars, like Bonaparte, in their voice, like Joan of Arc.” Bishop Fowler holds that the Anglo-Sax-ons are the bravest and greatest umong the people of the earth, and told many bright incidents of history illustrating the force and truth of this contention. Nevertheless, he said that Saxons are bad neighbors. “They never keep house without making somebody else do the work, and then please themselves about paying.” He traced the Saxon from the rirst glimpse the world caught of him—a pirate with a bloody cutlas—down through the ages when he was given a Testament, became baptized and after that was a “baptized fighter.” “We have never robbed a people without leaving them richer than they were before, have never enslaved them without giving them greater freedom than before, because in time the Saxon's love of fair play leads him to right the wrongs he may have committed." The bishop classed American and England as being much alike in all particulars, and spoke of the prowess of the stars and stripes and the union jack as standing aids by side in history. Fell Into n Kettle of Lard. Kate Pierce, an East Court-street woman well known to the police, walked into l’ouder’s meat market, at 232 East Washington street, yesterday afternoon. She was considerably under the influence of liquor and was attracted by a large kettle containing freshly rendered lard, which had been set on the floor to cool. She was naturally a bit dizzy and could not hold her equilibrium at this critical moment. She feil over backward into the kettle and was a sight when fished out. The lard was not hot enough to hurt her, but what it lid to her new dress and other apparel wasAmiply sufficient.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1897.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH SIXTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT SUBMITTED TO THE GOVERNOR. The General Appropriation of $4,000 ExhaHNted—Condition of the State’s Water Supply—Vital Statistics. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the State Board of Health, yesterday submitted the sixteenth annual report of the board to Governor Mount. During the year at the office of the secretary 2,860 letters have been received and 7,800 letters have been written. Analysis of water has been made in ninetyseven cases. Ninety-four diphtheria examinations have been made and sanitary surveys have been made of the State Prison, State Reformatory, the four insane hospitals, Women's Prison, deaf and dumb and blind institutes, Home for the Feebleminded Youth and Reform School. The report shows that after the salaries of the secretary and clerk have been paid, together with other necessary expenses, the appropriation of $4,000 is exhausted. The members of the board are not compensated for their services, and their expenses in attending meetings and in performing sanitary work are paid out of the general appropriation for tho board’s maintenance. The following summary of the year’s vital statistics is shown: Number of deaths, 16,224; number of births, 32,274; number of marriages, 20,419. According to the reports submitted to the secretary during the year the mortality of the following diseases was: Diphtheria, 942; pulmonary phthisis, 1,794; pneumonia, 1,181; scarlet fever, 55; typhoid fever, 655; measles, 92. Concerning these figures the report says: “Counting the population of Indiana at 2,250,000, the death rate from the above reported figures would be 7.21 per 1,000 of population—a figure certainly one-half too low, for the rate cannot be less than 15 per I,ooo—more likely 17 or 18 per 1,000. Even the number of births and marriages are not accurate, the former probably being one-tenth greater than reported and the deficiency in the latter is unknown. The question, ‘Why is this so?’ is most pertinent. Parke county has made no report for the year, and for the last quarter no reports have been received from Lake, Scott and Warren counties. The prosecutor of Parke county has been informed of this defiance of the law by Parke's officials, which is as far in the matter as the State Board of Health can go under the law. The health officers of Lake, Scott and Warren counties have been repeatedly urged to perform their duties, but no response has been received.” The report further say£: “Accepting the deaths from consumption to be 3,948, twice the number actually reported, then out of every one thousand deaths in Indiana during the year ending Sept. 30 last, 121 are to be attributed to this disease. The corresponding figures in the whole United States in IS9O was 121.5. It therefore appears that as far as this disease is concerned we are no w’orse oft than other States. The same metnod of calculation applied to typhoid fever shows 40.3 deaths out of every thousand deaths. The corresponding figures for the whole United States in ISbO was 32.2. This difference does not speak well for Indiana, lor typhoid fever is a filth disease.” On the question of establishing a sanitary laboratory the report says: "Without a well-equipped sanitary laboratory the State Board of Health can do very little toward determining the causes of diseases and t-P dun.cs and nOLhing whatever toward enforcing the laws against food adulteration. To establish a laboratory only S2,(X)O would be required, and the annual benefits would be one hundred times this amount. References to the chemical and bacteriological report will show that of the ninetyseven water analyses made it was found that eighty-two of these waters were sources of disease. The whole ninety-sev-en were suspected or they would not have been sent to us, and as a result of this work alone not a little sickness and possibly some deaths will be prevented. It is desired in this connection to call attention to the conditions . injuriously affecting sources of public water supply, which grow worse each year and the remedy correspondingly more difficult to apply. The population along our streams is rapidly increasing, and as villages grow into cities sewer systems are introduced and the streams made use of for sewage disposal. Often the same stream affords the only available source of a public water supply for such towns. Each is at the mercy of the town above. The remedy is to place the whole question of sewage disposal and water supply in the hands of a central authority.” The report observes that the appropriation should be sufficient to render it possible for the State Board of Health to fulfill the requirements of the law’ and the duties placed upon the organization.

COLORED MAN MAY WIN IT. Butler's Oratorical Primary to Be Held To-Night. The primary oratorical contest of Butler College will be held to-night in the Butler College Chapel, at Irvington. The contest is to decide who shall represent the college in the state oratorical contest, which will be held in this city the third Friday in January. The contestants, with their classes and subjects, are as follows: Ezra C. Roberts, ’9B, “Government and Law;” C. Herbert Bass, ’99, “The Crime of Charity;” Robert W. Hobbs, ’99, “Bossism in Politics;” Emsley Johnson, 1901, "Daniel Webster.” Class rivalry plays a prominent part in the primary contests at Butler. There will be no fraternity rivalry this year inasmuch as the contestants are all “barbs.” The classes which have representatives in the contest have been holding meetings and will support their men with various class yells. Roberts is a colored man and stands a good show r of representing the college at the state contest. He has participated in three primary rontests, winning a place in each one. He Js of the Booker T. Washington type and is a forcible,, speaker. The other speakers have had experience in similar contests. COLUMBIA CLUB BUILDING. Committee Announced by President slacker Last Evening. According to the resolution adopted, providing for a building committee to superintend the work on the new clubhouse of the Columbia Club, President Hacker has announced the following: Dr. Franklin W. Hays, chairman, and Messrs. James E. Roberts, Roscoe O. Hawkins, I. S. Gordon, Charles M. Reynolds, Henry Rauh, Otto H. Hasselman, William E. Stevenson and George E. Hume. Much interest has been taken by members of the club in the appointment of this committee, as the work before it is of vast importance. It is regarded, in fact, as the most important committee that has ever been appointed. General satisfaction is expressed with the committee by the members, who say that it represents the conservative, business spirit of the club. Much satisfaction is expressed at the approval with which the new plans of the club are received and it is predicted that the most sanguine expectations will be realized. The club now has a membership of over four hundred and it is believed that the limit of 650 will be reached in the next few weeks. ■.■ Another of tlie Footpad* Caught. Detectives Aseh and Dugan yesterday arrested John O’Brien, of 332 West Merrill street, on a charge of highway robbery. He is supposed to have been one of the gang that was broken up Saturday night by the arrest of four of its members. The gang had been “holding up” people every night In the vicinity of Senate avenue and Pearl street. Samuel Hanway’* Will. The will of Samuel Hanway was probated yesterday. Mr. Hanway bequeathed onethird of his real estate to his wife, in addition to household furniture and a third of his personal property. His son and daugh-

ter. Thomas Hanway and Martha J. Arnold. are each to have one-third if their parent's estate. The will requests that the Union Trust Company be named as trustee to care for the bequests of the son and daughter. John S. Berryhill was appointed executor of the will. He qualified by giving a bond of $5,000. The will of Marv Ann Scarry was also probated. After making one or tw r o special bequests the testatrix left her property to her brother and sister. ZAHNT FAMILY’S LONG WALK. Natives of Switzerland Trying to Get Back Home. John Zahnt. wife and four children visited the police station last night and sough; shelter. They are a Swiss family on the ! r vay to the old country. Zahnt said he had been in the United States eight years, and had been living in Washington State. He concluded last spring to return to his native land and started out with his family to walk. Tho children are fifteen, ten, six and three years old, respectively. The members of the family had probably not had a bath for six months. They were the dirtiest and sorriest lot of human, beings that had ever been seen about police headquarters. While they sat about the fire the room was rendered so foul that the officers on duty were driven from the room. They w r ere taken to the Door of Hope, given a bath and put to bed for the night. They have tramped all the way from the Pacific slope and expect to tramp to the Atlantic. A HIGHWAYMAN’S BLOW BELIEVED TO HAVE CAUSED THE DEATH OF JOHN J. BREMER. , . He Was Assaulted by Footpads a Few Weeks Ago and Robbed of SIBO. John J. Bremer, who was discharged from the City Hospital Monday morning after undergoing treatment for morphine poisoning, died yesterday evening about 6 o’clock from the effects of a wound received two weeks ago in an encounter with footpads. Bremer’s last three months on earth were attended with many misfortunes. First his wife died and he became despondent. He w’as a carpenter and had saved a small sum of money. He lived at 20 (old) Henry street, on the second floor. Shortly after the death of his w’ife he became infatuated with a woman living in the neighborhood. Not long after he met the woman he was held up and robbed of SIBO by footpads and he received some painful injuries at that time. About two weeks ago he was knocked down at the corner of Illinois and Merrill streets and robbed of his watch and a small amount of money. Last Sunday he took some morphine and fell in the street near South and Missouri streets. He was unconscious when taken to the City Hospital, but recovered and was discharged next morning. Yesterday he went to the home of his son-in-law, Charles Nankervis, 1613 Ludlow avenue. About 5 o’clock last evening he complained of feeling ill and went to his room. An hour later he was dead. Deputy Coroner Dodds viewed the remains. He is inclined to believe that Bremer’s death resulted from the blow given him by the footpads. It is said that after Bremer’s encounter with the highwaymen he was never quite right in his mind and his friends believe that the blow received on the head caused the mental weakness.

MOTHERS BELIEVE IN MUNYON

Read the Stories of Mrs. Plain, Mrs. Hagan and Mrs. Nichols —They Are Interesting.

Mrs. Lucy Plain, Line street, corner of Oak avenue, Irvington, Ind., says: “From the age of fourteen years I was afflicted with epilepsy, and my mother had tried every remedy that held out any hope of relief. The spells were frequent. 1 dreaded to be alone and despaired of ever being cured. I began using Munyon’s Epilepsy and Nerve Cures. The attacks became less frequent. The headaches disappeared and my whole condition is different than before using these remedies. Life is brighter to me—thanks to Munyon.” Mrs. M. Hagan, No. 610 Sanders street, Indianapolis, Ind., says: “I was a great sufferer from extreme nervousness. There was constant dizziness. I was unable to sleep, easily worried and fretted very much. Indeed, I was miserable. It was a case of general prostration, acompanied. by rheumatism. I was not able to secure relief from local physicians. 1 called on Munyon’s physicians, was prescribed for and in a few days I was greatly improved. After a short course of treatment I have been entirely cured. I have great faith in Munyon's Remedies.”

Mrs. M. E. Nichols, of No. 88 North Illinois street, Indianapolis, Ind., says: “I take great pleasure in bearing testimony to the efficacy of Munyon’s Remedies in the case of my son Harry. He had a very bad case of catarrh of some years’ standing. So serious, indeed, was it that he became almost entirely deaf, which compelled me to take him from school. Kind friends advised me to try Munyon’s Remedies, which I did, with most gratifying results. After two months’ treatment and use of the medicine his hearing is now almost completely restored and his general health much better than it has been for years.” No matter what the disease, Munyon has the cure. Many thousand grateful mothers have sent us testimonials for the cure of their loved ones. We charge nothing for advice, examination or medical attention. Open all day and evening; Sunday, 10 to 12.
