The funeral of little Henry K. McNeil, younger son of Dr. & Mrs. kollin McNeil, took place yesterday forenoon at Il o'clock at the residence of his parents on Bradley street The house was filled to overhowing with sorrowing and sympathizing friends. Many people prominent in the city were present to weep with the sorrowing parents over their loss and share in their sorrow. The tributes of flowers were very many, choice and lovely, speaking of purity and innocence and the display was very noticeable for it's rarity and profusion. Among them was one from the pupils of room No. 1, Skinner school, Miss Galpin teacher. where the de- ceased attended. The services were con- ducted by the Rev. MT. Bray, pastor of Hum phrey street church, and consisted simply of the reading of the Episcopal burial service, which was given very finely andimpressively. Four of the young friends of the daceased were the pail bearers, and @ touching sight was the presence of many of the young friends of the deceased, who was . favorite with all who knew him. Twelve carriages accompanied the remains to the grave in the Evergreen cemetery.

 A Special Meeting to Consider Bids for
 the New Training SchoOl-shaH Dtf-
 trict Meeting be Called.
 A special meeting of the Board of Educa- tion was held last evening to hear the report of the Building committee in regard to awarding contracts for the pro posed new training school at the corner of Congress avenue and Vernon streets. All the members were present except Messrs. Plunkett and Zunder. The building committee reported in favor of awarding the mason work to Chatfeld Grant and the joiner work to R. T. Merwin. The committee made a statement in regard to the proposed improvements of the Ed wards street school and in view of the sum the district was authorized to borrow last fall ($25, ,Ooo) and the $5,oo0 that has been expended for the lot, they recommended that the Board call district meeting and ask for an additional appropria- ton of about $3S, 900 to build the new school and make improvements on the Edwards street school.
 There was long discussion as to whether 1t would be possible to go and borrow money without vote of the district.
 Mr. Pond advocated borrowing the amount needed, his idea being that the excess over the amount voted at the last district meeting would be met next fall.
 It was stated that there was Q State law which forbids this plan and it therefore ap- peared to be out of the question.
 The Building committee were unanimous in the opinion that the training school building should be erected before next fall. In this connection atten- ton was called to the fact that the Cedar street school was overcrowded and that both the Washington and Webster schools need to be relieved, and that unless the new building was erected it would be necessary to rent several rooms. It was also stated that for the city to have such 8 vote passed at dis triet meeting would be more matter of form than anything else.
 It would seem from the discussion that the members of the Board are apparently con. scious of the immediate need of such build ing, and only hesitate because of the unusual time of calling such meeting in the middle of the year. It would seem that to bring the matter squarely before the people at this time would be safe thing to do, as it would at least, bring the needs of the district more intelligently before the taxpayers and the question whether these needs should be pro vided for would be for them to assume. h case the negative vote was made the Board could not be held responsible for the results
