nRoUGHr BACK FROM THE GRAY

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 52s w. Peril ST., Indianapo-
lis. Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to skeleton;
his lungs a mass of ulceration; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept i'll constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
OH the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and i'll February he
returned TO work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
In his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.

SERMON BY BISHOP DOANE.
Preached Before the Board of Missions
 Yesterday Afternoon.

Preached Before the Board of Missions Yesterday Afternoon. Bishop Doane spoke before the board of missions at St. Pauls church yester- day afternoon.

 This series of addresses, of which Bishop Doane's was the first, is given by invitation by the diocesan committee appointed to bring about more efficient cooperation between the board of mis- sions and the diocese, and the purpose is to give information. to set forth great principles and to deepen the interest in the work of extending the church and kingdom of Christ in the world
 Bishop Doane spoke yesterday on the large duty of the church to the world and the great principles of missionary work His address was a most inter- esting one, in which he spoke of the great work already done by the mis- sionares in every country in the world, and the tremendous work yet to be done He said that missionary workers of the present time were confronted with many difficulties and that in or der to remove these, cooperation be- tween the board of missions and the diocese such as never existed before must be a necessity.

OBTIEIR RY NOTES.
GustavG V. Engel, Formerly Salesman
 ntJ. J.JOhnsOn & Sons

Gustave V. Engel, who was for five years employed as clerk at Johnson & Sons clothing store on Church street, died in Denver, Col, this week. The news will bring sadness to the hearts of many friends of the deceased in this city. He had been in poor health for few years past, and in July last went to Denver hoping that the change of climate would restore his health, but the trip did not benefit him.
 MT. Engel was forty-one years of age. He was a son of Major Engel, who died several years ago. He was at one time a member of the City Guard and was recently considered by the company as a candidate for the cap taincy. MT. Engel was also a member of Yale Conclave Improved Order of Heptasophs. He leaves four children. Two brothers, William F., salesman for M. Steinert & Sons, and Robert A.. of Spruce street, and two sisters, Mrs, Reichter and Mrs. Blum also survive him. The remains will be brought to this city.

Stricken With Paralysis Some Time
 Ago at a Political Meeting.
 Nebraska City, Neb. Dec. 5.-United States Senator Hayward died at 6:20 a. n., to-day. He was fifty-nine years old, and although lawyer by profession he made his wealth largely through in vestments in lands in Nebraska and Kansas. As the republican nominee, he was defeated for governor by Poyn- ter two years ago, reducing the fusion majority from 1S,000 to 5000 and was elected to the United States senate by the last legislature, Soon afterwards he was stricken with paralysis while addressing a political meeting and since then his death has been daily expected
 Senator Hayward was veteran of the Civil war, serving in the Twenty second regiment of New York Volun- teers and later in the Fifth cavalry. He married Miss Jennie Pelton of Putnam county, New York, in 1870, and his widow and two sons survive him.
