FUNERAL DIRECTORS.
Various Lectures and Talks Delivered
Yesterday.

The Indiana State Funeral Directors AS
ISOLATION continued its convention yester-
day. The convention is more like an insti-
tute than like convention. There has been
engaged a lecturer from the leading school
of embalming in the United States and
about half the time of the sessions is taken
by him in practically demonstrating theories
of embalming. The members of the associa-
ton seem to be students of a class of which
Professor Hohenschuh is the instructor. In
addition, however there are papers and adj
dresses by members in which ideas are ex-
changed and much practical good results.
Yesterday an address by Governor Mount
was on the programme, but the Governor
had to go to Columbus to attend the G. A.
r. encampment and did not respond. j. N.
First, of Clinton, was to discuss the de-
tails of the plans for legislative work in
the interest of embalmers, but on account
of the absence of one of the leaders in the
discussion of his paper, the subject was
made special order for this morning at 10
o'clock. Mrs H.. c. Vehling talked of wom-
ans work in the profession, A. V. Weis-
singer, of Mount Vernon, discussed the pos
sibilities of disinfection and Prof. Hohen-
schulz lectured on the artificial circulation
which embalmerS employ.
The address of j. H. Sharer, president of
the NaLlOndl Funerai directors Association,
was one of the leading features of the day.
He made a practical talk which was said
to have been one of the best in the line
ever delivered. He spoke of some of the
nusances which the funeral director has
to contend with. Among them was the flow
err nuisance. He said that flowers
unnecessary and expensive luxury, which
were generally given with view of adver-
tisement rather than out of respect to the
dead. He also scored the funeral sharks
who take advantage of the fact that no
deals are made in advance to rob the
patron.
o. G. Davis, of Williamsburg, read a
paper i'll which he gave reasons for laws
governing embalming. Among the reasons
were the following: 1t would cause the noti-
fication of the coroner in cases where there
was suspicion concerning the cause of
the death; it would protect the public in
visiting places where contagion had ex-
listed; 1t would guarantee protection as to
the ability of the embalmer.
Charles L. Miller, treasurer of the ma
tional association and ex-treasurer of Ham
ilton county, Ohio, was present yesterday
afternoon and made a brief address. Prof
Hohenschuh closed the days work with a
lecture on cavity embalming.
To-day will occur the discussion of pro-
posed legislation, the election of officers,
papers by members and lectures by Prof.

MufDarSer-GenIe wrestling Match
Disappointment.
The Murbarger- Gehle wrestling match
proved a great disappointment to the six
or seven hundred persons who saw it. 1t
was declared draw after the men had
labored to throw each other for an hour and
fifty minutes. The men perspired so freely
that it was impossible for either to retain
a hold on the other and they might have
worked for another two hours without
fall The crowd did not understand this
thoroughly and did not like the idea of not
seeing a finish. Outside the theater the
men gathered in knots and talked of the
throwing down" they had received.
When the men left the mat Gehle was
almost worn out. He had done most Of the
aggressive work during the two hours the
bout continued. Murbarger was apparently
as fresh as when he began, but his body
was blstered and his right arm was rem
dered almost useless and was beginning to
turn black. This was caused by Gehle, who
used his leg, springing upon Murbarger's
arm with MS knee repeatedly. The blsters,
which were on the abdomen, were caused
by Gehle's arm.
The men went on the mat unevenly
matched: Murbarger weighed 14S pounds
and Genie claimed that he weighed l55. He
was under agreement with a $50 forfeit to
weigh below 1853. Murbarger's friends claim
Gehle weighed 166 pounds, but they allowed
him that much the best OF 1t rather than
