rhe Late Josenh Burton Hine

The Late Joseph Burton Hine. The funeral of J. Burton Hine will take place this afternoon from his late residence, 87 Howe street. MT TIine's health had been falling for several months, but his strength and clearness of mind remained till near the end. MT. Hine was in his eighty first year.
 He was quite large real estate owner
 in the Eighth ward. Thirty or forty
 years ago he purchased tract of sev-
 eral acres on Edwards and State streets,
 most of which he had sold to others for
 building lots or had erected houses upon for rental. Hine place, which was cut
 through his land, was named after
 him. He was brother-in-law of the
 late w. w. Merwin, who was for many
 years a grain and feed dealer on State street, corner of George street. Many years ago while proceeding in the then far west, MT. Hine suffered terribly from exposure while endeavoring to reached a settlement and remained over night in the shelter of hollow Log.
 He was so badly frozen that both his legs had to be amuptated. Notwith- standing this great misfortune MT. EIine, with indomitable will, engaged in business and by his foresight and business ability, gathered together a small fortune. He was a man of the strictest integrity and honor, true, patient and worthy citizen and those who knew him best will sincerely mourn his death

The Holy Grunt.

a
Sir-The land sof Palestine was divided
into three provinces, Judea Samaria and
Galilee. and the inhabitants of each prov
ince had popularity in their dialect, in
somuch that when Peter swore he did not
know the Man of Nazareth he was ac-
cused of being Galileean, for his speech
agreed thereto.
Today a popularity of the English peo-
pie Is to supply the letter "h" where it is
not needed and hence we sometimes
hear ministers from that country praying
in the pulpit for all the hends of the earth
A peculiarity among the Germans who
try to learn our language Is the omis-
sion of the sound of 18th" and hence many
of them say dis" dat" dare" and
"den,' instead of this, that, there and
then. The Irish culver their tongue
when they pronounce the letter "r' and
say "war-rum'' and char-rum."
But the habit that all nations seem to
get into, more or less. in learning our Ian
guage Is the supplying of an appendage
we call 1t the Holy Grunt. In a revival SER
vice that once had charge of n fine, in
telligent young fellow was converted
and he was greatly gifted In prayer. but
would use the Holy Grunt" as follows:
20. Lord, eh, we beseech thee. eh, have
mercy upon us, eh, etc" How often do
we hear Intelligent men and women in
their conversations supplying this unnec-
essary adjunct, And, en-" "and II was
80, eh?" Why not try to correct ourselves
from such foolish habit? John Davy.

Rev. j. r. Angels lecture last night
on "Blunders" was a great treat to the
large audience which had assembled.
The term "blunder' had a wide range
and included errors, mistakes, etc,
amusing illustrations of which were
given. He defined errors and mistakes
in an interesting manner and said that
a blunder was a mistake or an error of
the grossest kind. A dentist drawing
the wrong tooth would be q blunder.
but druggist or physician giving the
wrong medicine would be a criminal
blunder. Errors may be corrected and
mistakes may be overlooked, but q
blunder- Is generally considered blame
able and exposes person to ridicule
All, however, made mistakes, and we
should not judge moral greatness by
the individual, for to err is human and
to forgive is divine. Mr.. Angel was very
effective in dealing with laughable
blunders; the 1rishman was generally
accredited with their invention, and he
gave samples as follows: when 1

ciety demanded the sum of $1,113.9S as
half of the net proceeds. The county

favor of the plaintiff.
The defendants appealed from the
award and Judge Archibald took the
papers and passed upon them. He
handed down an opinion yesterday set

that there were sufficient reasons to let
the case go to a jury and be heard in
court. The case will go on the calendar
and be tried in it's regular order.

Many Unworthy Applicants.
There are unworthy applicants for

claims before the voters and it Is the
| duty of good citizens to relegate these
men to the oblivion to which they prop

with "boodler," and who have been

other forms of political debauchery to
| thwart the honest expression of the
will of the people, now loudly proclaim
| their ambition to be numbered among
| the city fathers.
Their very audacity has the effect of
partially paralyzing decent. honest cti-
zens, and the fear is that they will not
recover from their inertia until two
| late to give these political buccaneers
the drubbing they 50 richly merit.
