sity of Berne, TO examine the case and
give legal opinion of the action of the
Venezuelan Executive toward the COM

lication for a license to open a saloon at

the Alderman and denied that fraud ex-
isted, owing to the fact that the building
is No. 1874 Virginia avenue end nothing
else. Counsel admitted that there was
only hallway entrance from Virginia
on the Boulevard. Counsel contended
that license having been granted the AL
dermen could not in view of the existing
circumstances revoke it.
Alderman Decker made a vigorous
speech favoring the revocation of the IL
cense Monroe Simmons said a great

William H. Beach said the saloon would
depreciate surrounding property, ruin the
locality as home centre and be a menace
to the morals of children who would have
to pass it going to and from school, The
committee reserved it's decision. A report
will be presented to the Board at It's next
meeting.
The remons trance agaiHst the opening
of saloon at No. 779 Newark avenue by
John Tamouri was taken up. No one ap-
peared against the applicant and his case

SERVICE FOR THE DEAD.
Beautiful and Pathetic Ceremonies
at Cypress Lawn.

Beautiful and Pathetic Ceremonies
at Cypress Lawn.
The festival OF All Saints was celebrated
at the chapel of Cypress Lawn Cemetery.
The service was conducted by Bishop
Nichols, assisted by Rev. MIR. Kip of the
Mission of the Good Samaritan and Rev.
Mr.. Lincoln of the theological seminary of
San Mateo.
The beautiful chapel was profusely orna-
mented with ferns and palms and the
altar was embellished with large cross
com posed of the choicest flowers. An
audience filling the chapel was present.
Every one attending seemed to have been
drawn to the service by the memories of
friends who were buried in the inclosure,
and there were but few whose eyes were
not dimmed by tears.
Holy communion was administered by
the bishop, who preached a remarkable
sermon on the lessons of the day.
The Communion of Saints" was the
theme, and upon this subject the Bishop
drew comforting pictures of the triumph
and faith of the church in Immortality
and the certainty of again communing
with the lost and loved in the paradise
which is promised as the reward of those
who love the Lord.
The sermon was full of cheer to the af-
flicted and was beautiful exposition of
Christian hope. A large number of per-
sons of various shades of belief partici-
pated in the communion.
The music was especially adapted for
the pathetic and beautiful ceremony and
rendered by the vested choir of the Good
Samaritan Mission, under the direction of
Miss Brown, the organist.
