FOR FORTY YEARS M INFIDEL

" RAM'S HORN" BROWN TELLS HOW HE WAS CONVERTED TO CHRISTIANITY.

CLOSED MEETING LAST NIGHT

His Visit to Richmond Has Been Profitable One in Many Ways.

Kam's Horn Brown, the evangelist and editor of the well known religious publication, the "Ram's Horn," ended the series of meetings lie has been conducting at the First M. E. church last night with one of the most interesting addresses that lie has ever given. IIis subject was "How I Became a Christian." Mr. Brown was a confirmed infidel until he was forty years of age. He said even as a child he gave no credit to the bible and although he was in no way influenced by the opinion of others, by the time he was in his teens he was a non-believer. Shortly after the war of the Rebellion Brown started a newspaper in Bellview, 0., and later he engaged in the publishing business. The business grew, Mr. Brown prosjered, and at the 'age of forty he had arrived at his ambition, namely he had placed his business in such a position that he might then retire on a farm and enjoy he remainder of his life. And all this time he had not only been a confirmed infidel but lie had done all in his power to convince others of his belief. He had met and become a close friend of Robert Ingersoll and believed Tngersoll's doctrine. "When forty years of age he was in Chicago and seeing in the newspapers hat a revival was being conducted by Mr. Moody he determined to go. He went to criticise and came away converted. Since that time Mr. Brown has devoted his time and money to spreading the ideas that he was at one time ridiculing.

Besselmau took out a license to sell liquor and died before it expired. Attention of the Board of Public Works was called to the condition of two buildings, one on Fort Wayne Ave., south of the biulding occupied by the Richmond Candy Co., and the other on North Ninth street, near Meerhoff's plumbing shop. The first Building was condemned some time ago but nothing was ever done owing to a change in officials, and it is now said to be dangerous.

O'NEAL OBJECTS

(Continued from Page 1.) jectionalije feature connected with them. lie' thinks that if the corners were carefully guarded so as to allow no vehicles to come suddenly upon the speedway in front of the racers there is no harm in permitting the sport. Mr. Haver said that it was n good thing. All of the other members gave their assent, with the exception of Mr. O'Neal, of the Sixth Ward. Mr. O'Neal, while not directly against the habit of speeding on Broadway holds that council would be setling up a bad precedent and this they should not do. He says that their action would not bo consistent

since they have fought the speedway of automobiles. Mr. O'Neal said it was not a question of sentiment with him, as he likes to see the races, but that he believed council would not be committing a just act if they allowed horse racing on a much used street after having cut down the speed of automobiles to seven miles per hour. As a unanimous vote is required to pass an ordinance on its first reading, the matter was laid over for two weeks. Mayor Zimmerman told the council that should a good snow come in the meantime, he would call a special meeting of the body to reconsider the ordinance.
