In the death of Mr.. H. H. Byram. of the
Chronicle Telegraph, the Press Club has lost
one of its or1ginators and incorporators, and
one of the most active and efficient members
We feel his'loss as deeply as we know it is felt
in the newspaper office of which he was the
capable directing head and In the community
of which he was an honored and valuable
citizen. The calling away of men of such use
funess as Mr.. Byram in all the avenues of life
public and private, in the prime and vigor Of
lusty manhood, with magnificent prospects
opening before and around them, is one Of
those dispensations of Providence unaccount-
In him the Press Club had one of its best
friends, prominent and every-ready promoter
of its interests. AS a member his social quail
ties made him popular. In his profession he
was at the top-a position reached by hard and
earnest endeavor, and sustained with ability
and credit. The profession has lost one of its
brightest, most progressive members, and
every newspaper man a friend.
A mourning family has been called upon to
lament the irreparable loss of a devoted hus-
band and father, whose death causes a pain
which only time, the healer, can assuage. Bow
ing to the inevitable, the Press Club mourns
with the bereaved ones, and extends to them
the most earnest and heartfelt sympathy
The resolutions were adopted BY a rising
vote after which the meeting adjourned.
A meeting of newspaper publishers was
also held yesterday at the Commercial
Gazette office. Those present were: n. P.
