Arrangement OF Figures.
The arrangement of the group was
such as to give the impression from the
life-size appearance of the statues. that

dark shade. The dimensions Of the
stable were about twenty feet wide,
eight feet high and thirty feet long.

statue Of the Sacred Heart was en-.
shrouded in fragrant evergreens, ana
was overspread with a canopy of red
nlush The family cleaning lights ad-
ded an indescribable charm. The statue
was wreathed in smilax, holly and
palms and was surrounded by bower
of ferns.
The main altar was bedecked with the
same floral garniture, except that wnat
was used was cultivated plant, but the
remainder throughout the church was
wild growing. There was grand IN

The death of James G. Fair re-
moves one of the greatest figures in
the world of finance. The dead
man possessed many qualities
which made him a most interesting
character. His remarkable shrewd.
ness in financial matters, his tire.
mendous operations and his al.
most fabulous wealth made him a
conspicuous parsonage during the
many years of his life on the Pacific
coast. Senator Fair generously re.
membered his relatives and several
trusted employees in his will. The
bulk of his fortune is to be held
in trust for his three children, Mrs.
Hermann Oelrichs, Miss Virginia
Fair and Charles L. Fair. This
trust continues as long as the three
children live. They are to share
equally during that time the entire
income. Mrs. Charles L. Fair Gays
that she has no reason to be dissat-
isfied with her father-inlaw's pro-
vision for her husband. She said
she did not marry young Fair for
his money and that they have been
very happy without wealth.
