Funeral OF John J, Gill.

fuhefat oil John j. Glii.
The funeral services of John J
Gill were held Sunday at Il
O'Clock at the Presbyterian church
by Rev. A. A. Wallace and were
largely attended. The remains were
taken to st. Louis, his old home, fol
interment and were accompanied by
his son, Thomas M. and family.
The pail bearers were VIM. Pollock
James Pasqueth, J. ". Patton, Jno
j. Steele, S. j. Buckner and J. W.
Trimble.
For many years past Mr.. Gill has
been a prominent figure in the bus
mess and religious life of Mexico.
The esteem in which he was held by
his friends was exceptional. He was
a man of friendly disposition, oil
pure and honorable life of tenacious
purpose, ana of high and noble
character.
AS a Christian he was held in es-
pecial esteem by all who knew him.
His life of devotion to the church
and love for the services made him
prominent in all the affairs of the
Mexico Presbyterian church with
which he had been a member since
1874. Until within the past year OIL
two it was his habit to be in attend
ance upon all the services of Gods
house, and even when the weight Of
four score years hung upon him he
delighted in the study of the word in
the Sabbath School, and was ever
ready to take an intelligent and
helpful part in the mid-week prayer
meeting.
For the past few months Mr.. Gill's
health declined quite rapidly and
his pain was constant and severe,
but in all of his suffering there
reigned a quiet spirit of resignation
and no m%urmuring word ever found
expression from his lips.
A good man has passed to his re.
ward, a noble spirit has gone in
peace to its Redeemer. And we
"sorrow not as others which have no
hope. For if we believe that Jesus
died and rose again, even so them
also which sleep in Jesus will God
bring with Him.
Joe He, the Fulton horse, paced
a great race at Windsor, Ontario.
The summary of the race shows that
he was second to Rubenstein the

second again in 2:1O'a. The purse
was 81 100. Rubenstein, who won
the race, is a 4 year old, and his
2:O9i4 equals the champion record
of Diablo. Dandy Jim was beaten
by Shadeland Delmonia after win
ming two heats in 2:15's and
2:154. Vassar, Il full brother te
Wood Maddox's Light Hall won the

Record and Guide" in its issue yesterday. had this
to say about the action of the brokers who want
to make the Exchange something more than mere
auction-room:
THE brokers have once given Indications Of
another effort TO themselves and make OF the
Exchange something more useful than an auction
room with a Bureau of Information attachment.
The appointment of a committee this week by the
Board of Directors Is largely due TO recent dis
cusson OF plans by Andrew Powell and other brok-
and agents. by which they hope TO derive some
material benefit from their membership. The ques-
ton attracted considerable attention some years ago
and variety of plans formulated In the interest
of the broker members were followed until II was
demonstrated that their alleged utility was 10
very great extent chimerical. The present COM
mittee intends to pursue Its inquiry along different
lines but 1t Is doubtful whether 1t will be able TO
make any suggestions that have not been gone into
fully previous occasions. If 1t should do so
and the Board Of Directors becomes sufficiently i'm
pressed with the value Of the recommendations
made 10 justify their adoption and the making of
the necessary additional expenditures. the committee
will win the admiration and thanks of their fell
low-brokers. The committee will consider the forma
ton of board Of registered brokers and agents
which shall be bound by rules and regulations to be
laid down by the Exchange for the purpose OF
facilitating real estate transactions the providing
of room with attendant for the exclusive use
of the proposed board and the enlargement of the
scope of the Bureau of Information so that mem
bers Of the board obtain information regarding
restrictions and other matters relating to real
estate The committee is DESTROYS OF receiving such
suggestions from brokers may assist in the ac
complshment of the general object in view-the ad-
vancement of the interests OF brokers and agents.
