found a man unconscious. 1t was sup

POLLUTED WELLS.
Found by State Board of Health in
the Town of Darlington.

The sanitary survey Of the town of Oar
lington, Montgomery county, by the State
Board of Health, shows the cemetery, situ-
ated on the western border of the town, to
be a menace to public health. The we'll in
the cemetery and the wells at four houses
near by were found to contain the same
kind of pollution. In these four houses nine
cases OF typhoid fever have occurred within
the last two years. Houses TO the east Of
the cemetery have been entirely free from
typhoid, and their wells contain potable
water. The town trustees have been di-
rected by the State Board Of Health TO
close the cemetery, to renoVate the four
houses found to be infected and to abolish
the polluted wells. The communication of
the State Board of Health further says:
1T is 10 be expected that d%iphtheria and
other diseases will appear upon the opening
of the school in the fall. To prevent such
a calamity, or TO reduce such possible Visi-
tation to the minimum, the town trustees
shall thoroughly clean and disinfect the
schoolhouse, clean and disinfect all out
buildings, make certain that the drinking
water is pure and that it is supplied to the
pupils in a proper sanitary way. Upon the
opening of the school the town health Off
Ger should make a medical inspection of
teachers and pupils, and any one afflicted
in the least degree with a communicable
disease should be excluded"

TWO COLLEGES BARRED
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED AT A MEET
ING OF STATE MEDICAL BOARD.
Graduates from Two Indiana Medical
Schools Must Stand Examination
Before the Board.

The State Medical Board yesterday
passed upon the cases of the American
Medical College, of this city, and the Curtis
Physio-Medical Institute of Marion, as well
as the application of Don Sang, the Chin
csc doctor from Hammond. The board de-
ciGed not to recognize the Chinese diploma
of Don Sang and if he wants to practice
medicine he must pass IN examination.
As to the two medical institutions men
toned, the board determined to recognize
such of their graduates as had already re-
into effect, inasmuch as the law requires
it to do this, but it will not recognize their
diplomas and any of their new graduates
applying for license must stand an exam
nation. The resolutions adopted embody-
ing this decision are as follows:
Resolved, That the licenses granted upon
diplomas issued by the Curtis Physio-Med-
ical Institute OF Marion, Ind, and the
of indianapolis, Ind, ii sisued prior to
March 8, 1857, and if H. appears that the
same were not procured by fraud be recog-
niZed by this board as valid and that GER
tiicates be granted to the lawful holders
thereof whose applications have been re-
ceiyed by this board on or before the 18th
day of July. 1897.
Resolved, further, That applicants for GER
tiicates upon diplomas issued by the above
named colleges be required to pass a sup
Elemental examination by this board before
certificates will be issued to them.
A week ago a list Of colleges not recog-
nized By the board was published and the
name Of the American Eclectic Medical
was a mistake. The board has not black
listed 1t.

FUNERAL OF REV. HENRY DAY.
Services Conducted Yesterday at the
Home of Nicholas McCarty.

Tbs funeral of Rev. Henry Day, which
occurred yesterday afternoon at the home
of Nicholas McCarty, on North Pennsyl-
vania street, was very largely attended.
All the Baptist ministers of the city and
many of other denominations were present.
In DIR. Day the ministers OF the city recog-
nized a man who was broad enough TO in
clude among his friends all workers for
the cause of Christianity and humanity,
regardless of creed or dogma. He was the
oldest Baptist minister in the State.
III honrary pallbearers were DIR. II. c.
Martin, DR.. G.. V. Wooden, A. A. Barnes.
L. c. Atkins, S. C. Hanna. Alexander Shall
lenberger, Joseph NJ. Sutton and Edgar j.
Foster. The services at the house were
conducted by DR.. d. J. Ellison, pastor of
the First Baptist Church, and Rev. w. T..
Taylor, of Dayton, who was pastor of the
First Baptist Church prior to the coming
of DR.. Ellison. These two ministers We're
assisted by Rev. Il. f.. Neighbor, one of the
editors of the Indiana Baptist, who was
pastor of the College-avenue Baptist
Church at the time DIR. Day was pastor of
the First Baptist Church. Rev. Mr.. Neigh
Dor offered a prayer and there were short
addresses by the other two ministers. DIR.
Ellison was in the Catskills, spending his
vacation, at the time Of the death of Dr..
Day and did not reach the city until noon
yesterday.
There was much to be said by the minis
ters in regard TO the loss to the city by the
death of DIR. Day, which formed the chief
topic Of their remarks. DIR. Ellison spoke
of the appreciation by the church of DR..
Days work. He came here when the af-
fairs of the First Baptist Church We're in a
rather critical condition, and its present
condition Is largely due to his tact and en-
ergy. His influence and connection with
people of wealth and means was largely the
cause of bringing the church out of finan-
cial distress. The prosperity of the church
dates from the time of his coming. DIR. Day
was a very earnest and enthusiastic preach
or, said DIR. Ellison, but that was not his
greatest forte. He was q pastor in the
fullest sense OF the word and knew person.
ally the conditions and circumstances sur
rounding each family in the church. He
knew their troubles and their joys and was
an equal sharer in both. He had the per-
sonal confidence OF the members in their ar
fairs not concerning the church..
Another trait OF his character that always
etldeared him to other ministers, and es-
pecially to those who succeeded him in the
Church, was his appreciation Of their
work and his entire lack Of jealousy at
their success. DIR. Ellison spoke of this
especially. He said that DR.. Day was as
much rejoiced at the success of those who
followed him as at his own success. He
was a constant support TO other ministers
and gave them every encouragement pos
aible, with much assistance. He was a
pastor of pastors said DR.. Ellison.
The burial was private, but there was a
large gathering Of friends at the house to
honored and who Will be much missed by
the entire community.
