A Sunday-School Worker.
Special TO the Indianapolis journal
Brazil, June 1.-THE Sunday-schools of
this city have received new impetus
through the presence and labors of the
State superintendent, Rev. DR.. Gilbert On
Saturday evening last he held parlor
conference of pastors, superintendent,
teachers and earnest workers, inquiring
carefully into the condition of the schools
and presenting the new plans of work pro-
posed by the State union. Yesterday he
moved quietly among the schools, making
personal and minute observations OF the
system of management. At 1880 he preached
in the Presbyterian Church on the His
tory of the Sunday school Idea." In the
afternoon there was a mass-meetlng of
children and youth in the Methodist
Church. At night a union of the congre-
cations was effected when the subject of
teacher training was presented. Doctor
Gilbert appointed a committee to arrange
the preliminaries for normal class and
for his system of house-to-house visitation,
and promised to return early In the fall
and to begin this work. The leaders of
Sunday schools here were much interested
in all that was proposed, and this city will
undoubtedly have a large part in the ad-
vanced work now being done in our State.

of Henry Adams, of this place, yesterday
morning began to develop strange symp-
toms, and was taken to the office of ply
sician, who submitted the usual test by
offering the child water. Each time the
water was presented the little patient
manifested the utmost terror. The test
was applied three times, with the same re-
suits. the symptoms growing moro pro-
nounced each time. The doctor then in
formed the parents that the child had the
hydrOphobia. Since that time the child
has grown worse. and its condition to-day
is critical. Any attempt to administer
liquids brings on the most alarming con-
vulsions. The slightest sounds tend to
irritate the child's nerves, and the spasms
this afternoon are very frequent. Several
physicians have examined the patient, and
they all agree that it is hydrophobia. One
of the attending physicians has seen one
case before, and does not hesitate to pro-

YELLOW FEVER AND how 70 TREAT IT

DIR. GIBIER, THE PARIsIAN EXPERT, TELLS THE
RESULTS OF HIS INVESTIGATIONS.
DR. Paul Cbicr, Of the Paris Hospital, who, on
behalf of the French Government, visited Jackson
VILE during the recent prevalence Of yellow fever and
investigated many Of the cases treated at the hos
pitfalls, last night read a paper at the Academy OF
Medicine on the result of his researches lie looked

seated while he read He dealt mainly with the ques-
ton, was II verltable yellow fever which was OBJ
served last year in Florida and II not was Il new
disease or an epidemic OF bilious fever complicated
with malarial intoxioationi
Dr. Gbier seemed much inclined TO adopt the
views Of the scepcs and in support of his argument
said that the blacks, who generally enjoy immunity
from yellow iever in the present case suffered out OF
All proportion to the whites. DR.. Gibiee described
technically certain OF the symptoms Of established
yellow fever and those of bilious fever, differing
widely IN their elimination, but all classified under
the common name. Tho cause of bilious and malarial
fever he said might easily be traced TO the shallow
pools around the st. Johns River, Just outside ue

Or cause for the failure Of our roadways, irrespective
