GEORGE P. ANDERSON DEAD.


George p. Anderson, who died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. w. G. Bull, at
No. COS East Twentieth street, early yes
terday morning. was one of the best known
Odd Fellows i'm Indianapolis. His death was
due to a stroke of paralysis about a year
ago, since which time he has gradually
failed in health.
Mr.. Anderson was born in Cincinnati, o.,
in 1924, and came to Indianapolis in 1888,
afterward returning to Cincinnati for a
short time and then locating permanently
In Indianapolis in 1s4S. He first engaged in
the dry goods business here, the firm name
being Drum & Anderson. Two years later
he became identified with the wholesale
dry goods house of Little. Drum & Ander-
son. In 1857 he became interested in the
Capital Touring mills. and later was the
owner of the Bates city flour mills, located
at Washington and Noble streets.
He became a member of the Odd Fellows
fifty years ago, n for thirty years was
secretary of Center Lodge. In 1866 he be-
came secretary of the Crown Hill Gene
terry Association, and held the position con-
%tinuously until 1899, when he resigned on
account of i'll health. Three daughters,
Mrs. w. c. Bull, Of this city, Mrs. J.. A.
z. Haugh, Of Anderson, and Mrs. ]. H.
Alexander, of Greensburg, survive him.
The funeral arrangements have not yet
been completed, but the service will be in
charge of the Odd Fellows lodge.

PUBLIC TEST RECITALS
At the ~Propylacum Morning, After
noon and Evening.

Devotees of the muse Calliope found her
shrine in the Propylaeum yesterday a most
attractive place to visit. since 1t was ten
anted throughout the day by the pupils of
the Metropolitan School of Music, who
gave abundant evidence of faithful worship
of the presiding deity Of harmony in three
public test r~ecitals. Three varied and diff
ficult programmes were rendered, the first
at 10 a. m. the second at 2:ao .. m. and the
last I'm the evening at s. Each was well at
tended and thoroughly enjoyed. The num-
bers given last night were, perhaps. the
most brilliant Of the days performance.
Mr.. Nathan Davis captured the honors
fairly with his superb rendition of the
"Andante' from viotti's twenty-second
concerto.
Two conspicuous features Of his playin~
were faultless technique and abundance ox
feeling-a somewhat rare combination. Miss
Elma Igelmann's well-modulated, bird-like
voice was heard TO excellent advantage in
the recitative and aria from Flotow's
'Stradella.' Another fine performance
was Miss Una Clayson's piano selection,
Sinding's "Fruehlingsrauschen." Mr., Henry
Massenet's "H~erodiade.' was a finished
piece of vocalization and won for him
hearty and sincere applause. Miss Julia
Kern played a two-part selection from the
works OF Mcdowell. the '.Idylle." Op. 80,
and Hungarian" with considerable dash
and cleverness. The programme was quite
long, containing seventeen numbers, al
though that of the morning had twenty
one and of the afternoon twenty-five. The
work OF a few Of the participants was
slightly marred by their seeming inability
to get away from the atmosphere and in
fluence OF the school, which made their eff
forts appear stilted and labored. Those
whose performances have been mentioned
In this brief review. however. were free
from this fault.

dicted with confidence that the time would
come when the town would be a city of
$500 population, never dreaming that with
in the lifetime Of persons then living 1t
would have a $2,00,00 Statehouse, a half
million dollar monument, a great system of
electric street-railways. a union station
large enough to seventeen
different railroads, with elevated tracks,
and a population OF more than 200 600.
Before concluding, however. allow me
TO congratulate the officers and the board
OF directors OF the Indiana Commercial
Museum end Auditorium Company upon
the indications which everywhere abound
that the enterprise you have in hand will
be a glorious success. The manufacture
realizes the importance Of having his
wares advertised, and no better or cheaper
method Of bringing them TO the notice of
the public can be devised than the one
here proposed. Indiana has come to be
noted for her manufactures. Located be-
tween the lakes and the Ohio. all east and

MIR. ROOTS TALKS.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Haggard's adj
dress Chairman Garvin introduced as the
next speaker francis T. Roots, of Corners
vile. Mr.. Roots very accurately defined
the present business conditions in the
State Of Indiana, saying that the time had
arrived when there was a demand
in Indianapolis for such a building
as the projected auditorium. He said that
Tomlinson Hall had for a long time been
equal to the demands made upon it. but
that the conditions were changing and it
was no longer adequate. Mr.. Roots spoke
very inter astingly of the Capitalization OF
purchasable commodities, which he said
had been begun in a small way by a Mr..
Newman, OF Chicago, n which had grad
ually evoluted into the great department
stores where one could purchase anything
from a threshing machine to a tooth pick.
The great museum and auditorium that
has been projected he said was a step be-
yond the great department stores and the
people of Indianapolis were to be congrat-
ulated on their enterprise.
Mr.. Roots was warmly applauded at the
close of his address. Following his adj
dress the project was informally discussed
by a number Of those present, the tenor of
their remarks being TO the effect that no

Every day adds to the list of deaths
attributed to heart failure. If the
truth were told the bulk of these
deaths might be written down as due
to stomach failure. For IL IS IN the
failure of the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition, that rweakn
heart, uweak y lungs, uweakn nerves and
other forms of PHYSICAL deterioration
having their beginning. The man whose
stomach is sound, who can digest and
assimilate the food he eats. and so keep
each organ of the body well nourished,
is the maj who is least liable to collapse
under the sudden weakness of some
vital organ.
The preservation of health which fol-
lows the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, is chiefly due to the
fact that it perfectly and permanently
cures diseases of the stomach and organs
of digestion and nutrition, purihes the
blood and increases the blood supply of
the body. Weak people will find in this
medicine a sure means of strength.

SOME MOON
observations by Professor Pickering,
of Harvard.

Boston Journal.
In a broad. fiat expanse on the moons
northern hemisphere, known to astrono-
mers as the Mare Serenitatis, there is a
whitish spot some four miles in diameter
to which the name of Lime has been given.
1t has been assiduously watched for many
years, because about 1866 something &C.

crater but little elevated above the plain
and its throat filled with black shadow.
Suddenly. instead of a crater. IL appeared
as a white. spot. Later on a dark center
showed In the spot, as IL the missing crater
had yawned again beneath its mysterious
covering. But no further change occurred.
and as more than thirty years have since
passed without any alteration in the aspect
of Lime some astronomers have begun to
question whether the observers of a quar-
ter of a century ago did not make a mis-
take.
Now Professor Pickering rescues Lime
reputation as a genuine marvel, but at the
same time increases the mystery. Watching
IL during the eclipse, when the shadow or
the earth passed like a cooling cloud across
the face of the moon, he found by careful
measurements that the size Of the white
spot surrounding Lime increased while
buried in the shadow. the amount of the
expansion in the diameter OF the spot be-
ing about one-sixth of a mile. AS the
eclipse passed of it began to contract

But this is not all. Measurements of the
enigmatical spot made when there was no
eclipse showed that IL undergoes a similar

Broad Ripple yesterday evening to get a

wagon was badly damaged and both boys
received severe bruises. DIR. Hicks and a

READY FOR BUSINESS
In THE CONTEST FOR THE
GOvERNORsHIP.
The Fight Between John w. Kern
and Frank II. ~Burke-Early Ar
rivaIs-PoIitical Notes.

The end of the week preceding the Demo-
cratic state convention found the interest
chiefly conferred in the race between John
w. Kern and Frank B. Burke for the first
place on the ticket. Both Mr.. Kern and
Mr.. Burke were out of the city yesterday
looking after some of the out counties.
Notwithstanding the frequent denials of
B. f. Shively that he is a candidate. it is
believed his name will be presented by
some of his friends, and that he will re-
ceive votes 1t is also believed by some
that Mayor Taggart's name will be before
the convention. The mayor. however, de-
clares that his name will not be presented.
Nelson j. Bozarth, of Valparaiso, is also
an avowed candidate.
There is a good deal Of speculation as to
what the action of the resolutions commit
tee will be. 1t is conceded that this com
mittee will have no soft job, since there is
a difference of opinion in the Democracy
over what should go in the platform. One
man. a very prominent Democrat. and a
friend Of Frank b. Burke, expressed the
belief yesterday that the machine" fell
ows-those who are trying to lay free
silver on the shelf for a time-would not
only attempt to keep the '16-to-1" feature
out Of the platform, but would also want
a plank dealing rather mildly with the
question of Imperialism. Democrats in both
branches of the party feel assured that
the committee on resolutions will have
more than one platform submitted for its
consideration.
Although the Grand Hotel will be head
quarters for the Democracy during the
convention, some of the leading members
of the party will be at the other hotels.

treasurer of state, has been at the Grand

be here early this week. IL Is not known
definitely whether Representatives Zenor,

BIBLE NOT TAUGHT RIGHT.

Philadelphia Press

Philadelphia Press.
The number of things people ought to
know and do not know is far larger than
is ordinarily conceived. Between vague
knowledge and i~ncapacity to tell what is
known, the exact examination paper al
way probes black depths of ignorance of
which no one dreamed. A like examina-
ton on Shakespeare or any science would
show worse ignorance. The average hu-
man capacity for resisting the entrance
and avoiding the memory OF knowledge
is far greater than any are aware but those
whose sad lot is cast in marking examina-
ton papers.
The difference between the Bible and
other books, studies and subjects is. how
ever. that there is a large and powerful
organization, called the church., which
spends In all some Sso.ooo.ooo a year in
and privately, has q .7O0.00 members
pledged to it's belief. circulates it by the
million, breaches 1t and teaches 1t once a
week 10 9.7lS,0 900 Sunday-school scholars.
If, with all this, intelligent and educated
men and women are still as ignorant as
DR.. Thwing's questions show, 1t is neither
because people in general. are ignorant or
forgetful of what they should know. but
because the Bible is badly taught. Take
1t all In all. 1t Is, from the human stand
point, the most interesting collection of
sixty-six separate histories. tales. treatises.
poetry and biography extant. But IL is so
taught as to dull all interest. IL is still
published in a single, chunky, awkward
volume. II is wrenched out OF all its
proper relation 10 history and the real
life OF its day. If any teacher brings il
into living relations with contemporary
history and makes its narrative vital, he
is extremely apt TO be tried for heresy.
Instead Of teaching the Bible itself, dogma
and doctrine are taught, and any revision
Is resisted in the face of emptying pews
and widespread ignorance of the Bible. due
TO the attempt 10 teach some form made
by men to the neglect Of the inspired word
itself.
II the Bible is read it is used as a sort
Of fetish. So many verses or chapters
both arbitrary and numbing divisions-are
treated as a dose. A great wealth OF dis
covery and study in the past twenty-five
years has set the Bible aglow with fresh
meaning. brought it's lesson and teach
ing into harmony with the development
of the race and left its august message
no longer an isolated utterance. but part
of the divine plan unfolding the divine will
TO those in every nation hat fear God
and work righteousness Yet the Bible is
still studied in texts and isolated pas
sages. Each is loaded with traditional COM
ment. and all are so scattered. peeled and
divided that the majestic sweep and prog
ress OF the divine story. it's convincing mar
rative and its words Of power are lost In
