4 SAD DEATH.
NisS Carrie Christian Borne to the
Grave by Loving Hands


Grave by Loving Hands
Miss Annie Christian. one OF the
brightest and most popular young
ladies of this city, died at the home of
her parents Sunday afternoon ut 9
o'clock.
Miss Christian had been i'll for some
time. She graduated at Hollins ms
titute this Spring with high honors
and came home to enjoy a we'll earned
rest. 1t was not long before she com.
planned of being unwell, however, and
though everything that medical skill
could do WAS done, she gradually
grew worse and soon the end came.
1t was terrible blow TO the loving
family and the large circle of friends
Nothing in life is so sad as the death
of a young and beautiful girl just
budding into womanhood, with loving
friends and kindred to pluck the
thorns FROM the wayside and smooth
the sometimes rugged path.
The deceased wassthe daughter of
DR.. S. p. Christian, and the sister of
Messrs. J. F. and S. P. Christian.
They have the sympathy of Il whole
city with them in this sad bereave-
ment. The funeral took place from
the residence of Dr. Christian on
Eleventh avenue yesterday afternoon
at 4 o'clock, and the interment was at
Fair View Cemetery two hours later.
Despite the threatening weather the
crowd that followed the sad cortege
to the last resting place OF the de-
ceased was one of the largest ever
gathered on similar occasion in this
city. The floral offerings were nu-
merous and beautiful, and the grave
was covered from view by flowers OF
every variety-titting emblems OF a
pure and spotless life.
The funeral services at the grave
were simple and touching. The
preacher in few well chosen words
referred to the young life cut oil at
its very beginning, and drew a beau
tifnl picture of that more lovely life
that comes after.

some twenty Chinese, and the cases were
tried in the United States Circuit Court.
The result was that the ordinance was de-
feated, and Immediately upon the heel of
this ruling these twenty damage suits were
brought against Bingham. 1t costs SO to
file an answer in that court, hence the $500.
Boyd opposed the measure in some very
sharp talk. He said it was Bingham's per-
sOnal fight and he did not see why the ex-
pense of it should be saddled ON the city.
He was convinced that if the board were to
commit itself to such mean little petty lar
eeny steal as that the very last thing before
retiring from Office it would damn them to
the end Of time.

Wright defended the resolution, and said

Boyd said he was not opposed to the law,
but was very much opposed to any Super
visor assuming the functions of policeman
and trying to enforce it.
Bingham said he acted under the advice
of his counsel.
The resolution was carried, Boyd, Ebert
and Becker voting against it..
Right in the wake of this proceeding
another resolution was proposed. authoriz-
