FUNERAL OF SAMUEL w. DREW.
A Number of Early Settlers Attend the
Funeral-His Career.

Although the long retirement of the late
Samuel w. Drew from places of business
had made him a less conspicuous character
in the life of the city than he was a quar-
ter of a century ago, yet enough remained
who knew and loved him to make his flu
neral services full of interest to them. This
took place yesterday afternoon from the
residence Of Mr. Joseph =. Wells, at So
East St. Clair street Sr. Wels's wife is
a granddaughter of the deceased. The
services in the absence of his pastor, DIR.
Sims, of the Meridian-street Methodist
Church, were conducted by Rev. DR.. Gill
bert. a former pastor, and d.. Goodwin,
who had been nearly forty years associated
with him in almost every department of
church work, and it was numerously at
tended by that rapidly diminishing band Of
early settlers and their children. as well
as by many who had been associated with
him in church and business life in later
years.
Samuel w Drew was born in Dover, n.
H, in February, 1898. and died here last
Thursday. at the age of nnety-siX years
and six months. His early life was spent
at HOlowell Me. and in Massachusetts,,
in the business of carriage making. In 1916
he moved 10 Cincinnati, and in 1852 to In
dianapols. Here for more than thirty-twO
years, and until he was nearly eighty-tive
years of age, he was known one of the
leading manufacturers of carriages. always
diligent in business and successful under
many adverse conditions. At the mature
age OF eighty-five he retired from business.
While Mr.. Drew's business life was char
acteriZed by those traits of industry and
honesty which are worthy of mention and
of imitation. he less marked in his
religious life He was in the true sense a
religious man. He was converted when
quite a young man through the instru-
mentality of Melville Il. Cox, a devoted
young associate. who afterwards became
the first Methodist missionary TO Africa.
and whose singularly heroic death in that
mission field became an inspiration to the
American churches in the interest of that
dark continent. Mr.. Drew became a Chris
ton not in word only. but in deed and in
truth. In this city he became a member
OF Wesley Chapel He soon became a class
leader. a steward and a trustee. dscharg-
ing all the duties of these several positions
with ability and faithfulness. His closing
years. after retiring from business. were
marked by patience and a constant readi
ness for his change.

revolver and fired once at the keeper,
fortunately missing him. There were many
people standing around. After firing the
shot Aust fed eastward. pursued by Off

GAVE THE POLICE A FIGHT.


Patrolmen Warren and Sutphen were de-
tailed, yesterday afternoon, to watch the
saloons in the vicinity of the cerealine
mills, North Indianapolis, for violations of
the liquor laws. They saw a large crowd
of negroes in a grove a short distance from
the saloons. James Parker, a one-armed
negro, rushed the can" several times for
the crowd, and the officers started towards
him as he left a saloon to subpoena him
as a Witness for they intend to swear out
warrants for the proprietors of the saloons,
charging them with selling or giving away
liquor on Sunday. Parker ran TO his COM
panions. who surrounded him and defied
the officers to touch him. Warren and SUIT
phen told the negroes what they wanted,
but William Bryant, a tough character.

at them.
Sutphen pushed his way through the
crowd and caught hold of Parker by the
arm. At the same time Bryant struck War

large pocket knife and started towards the
officer. The latter covered Bryant with his
revolver and told him to put the knife in
his pocket and to consider himself under
arrest Bryant put the knife in his pocket,
but Immediately threw his hat on the
ground, and, as he rolled up his sleeves,
said This will be a fight to the death
between you and me. will die rather than
go to the police station
Patrolman Warren said: "All right, let
it be a fight, then" He started IN with a
vim, and Bryant. getting the worst of it,
shouted that he had enough. Bryant'S COM
panions did not attempt to interfere in the
meanwhile and Parker made no effort TO
to the police station. Bryant has served
several terms in the penitentiary.

Greenwood carrying Mr.. and Mrs. Francis
Murphy and active members of the league.
The Indianapolis visitors were accorded
seats on the platform, which was also
occupied By prominent citizens of Green

Fletcher talked enthusiastically of the tenn

based solely upon his knowledge of the
medical profession as 1t relates to the use
OF alcoholic stimulants. His argument
against the use of liquor was powerful.
From statistics he proved the fallacy of
the theory that alcoholic stimulants are "a
necessity in various malades. Dr. Fetch

thority for many of his statements.

TO CALL MIR. JACKSON
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH MAY Sc
CURE A GRAND RAPIDS DIVINE.
He Is to BE offered FOur-ThOusand-
Dollar Standardization of
South-Side Bethel.

The First Baptist Church will call Rev.
]. L. Jackson, of Grand Rapids, Mich,
to the pulpit made vacant by the resigna-
ton of Rev. Mr.. Taylor.
A week ago yesterday Mr.. Jackson
filed the First Baptist Church pulpit.
and those who heard him became
convinced that he was just the man the
church needed for it's pastor, and the feel
ing in favor of calling him is unanimous.
The pulpit committee has been pressed to
take immediate action, and yesterday
afternoon the committee met and although
a quorum was not present it was prac
tically decided to call Mr.. Jackson
as pastor of the First Baptist Church
at a salary of $4,000 a year. If salary
causes hitch in his acceptance, the church
will do still better. The hope of getting
him is not considered excellent. as at
Grand Rapids he has a large church and
a large congregation to listen to him every
Sunday, and the ties between the pastor
and his church are very strong The hope
of the committee OF the First Baptist
Church of this city is that Rev. Mr.. Jack
son has that field well worked, and may
be induced TO come 70 Indianapolis that
he may have larger field and more OPP
portunity to work. At Grand Rapids he
receives $1,000 salary year:
At its session yesterday the pulpit COM
mittee thought that it would be best to
send two or three of its members 70
Grand Rapids and extend the call and lay
the case fully before Mr.. Jackson; the
committee believing that when it is shown
that the church is unanimous in calling
him and that he has such an opportunity
of enlarging the church at indianapolis he
will yield TO their wishes and become pas
tor of the First Baptist Church 1t is
stated by those who well know this field
that never before have the members of the
First Church been so thoroughly united in
the calling of a pastor since Rev. Henry
Day was called back in the sixties.

A SOUTH-sIDE "BETHEL.v
Dedication OF a New Building of the
Church of God.

Situated at the corner of LeGrande ave-
nue. and Leonard street is a new Bethel
Of the Church of God" The building is a
small, quadrangular-shape white frame,
surmounted by small belfry. The building,
with the ground upon which it stands, to-
gether with pretty five-room cottage i'm
mediately in the rear of it on Leonard
street, to be used as a parsonage, is the
gift of Mrs. Mary Jane Vinson. The total
cost of church, parsonage and all appur-
tenances was about s. 400, all Of which was
paid by Mrs. Vinson in her desire to pro-
vide place to worship God according to
her conception of the right. The religious
society which calls itself the Church of
God" adopted the name because the church
is so called in the bible. They believe that
all of the regenerate are of and should be
called the Church of God" They accept
no doctrine or creed Of any kind char
acter save the bible. This, they believe, con-
tains all the creed needed by Christians.
They say the Scriptures are infallibly right
and contain enough, and not one whit too
much, for the faith of man. They use
scriptured words and phrases for scriptural
things and In the declaration of scriptural
ideas They believe all Christians can and
should unite in religion of the bible and
It only untramelled by creeds. They be-
Heve in the washing of feet in the literal
sense, and hold 1t a positive duty to OBJ
serve this ordinance which Christ taught
the apostles and ordered them to teach
others. They believe in public and private
prayer and that al the teachings of the
bible are equally essential to the salvation
of the soul.
The new Bethel" at LeGrande avenue
and Leonard street was opened for the
first time yesterday morning, and fair
sized congregation attended the services
Elder J. Ninson, the son of the donor of
and his sermon yesterday morning was
from the text Roman iii, 24-25.
