He was taken to his home on the boul-
evard.
An enterprising undertaking firm Of
the West Side has secured probably one
of the finest and most up-to-date style
of hearse owned in this section of the
country. II arrived yesterday. and
when It was being taken from the car
much comment was excited. The
hearse is built on a new plan, being
excessively plain and massive looking.
The style of the vehicle was obtained
from the Greek temples and mauso-
leums. The firm sent man abroad for
the purpose of getting data.
The body of the hearse rests upon a
running gear fitted with cushioned
tired wheels. Inside 1t Is finished in
quartered oak and dark green hang
ings. The outside Is an imitation Of
ebony wood. The top is after the
temple roof style, with pillars support
ing, a combination of the Ionic and
Corinthiar style of architecture, with
imitation French plate mirror glass in
the sides and end. A handsome black
veneer sets off the whole vehicle. This
is the first one of its kind shipped east
and its cost was great. 1t will be
drawn by a team of Jet black horses
with metal trimmed harness, to cor
respond with the nickel trimmings on
the beautiful funeral car"
There can be something artistic about
a funeral after all.

appointed 10 the place made vacant by
Miss Hicks promotion.
The one disorderly period of the
meeting came when Mr.. Devaney
started to make a complaint that Miss
Durkln, who taught in No. 3 annex,
was to be put in No. 10 in a grade
higher than Miss Malta, who had been
a teacher at No. 10 for a number of
years and so on Mr.. Notz started out
to break up the quorum, but came back
at Mr.. Jacobs solicitation and listened
to Mr.. Devaney's lay.
To get the matter out of the way
some one moved to refer II to the
superintendent and controller of the
ward and 1t passed before Mr.. Notz
awoke to what had happened. When
IL had been explained to him he fumed
and frothed for awhile, declaring II to
be an imposition to resurrect bother
some thing that he had already settled,
and swore he would not remain another
minute. Mr.. Devaney hung onto his
coat tails until after he cooled down
and when the board gave him and the
superintendent full power to arrange
the teaching corps at No. 10 any old
way they wanted it, he nodded a nod
Of satisfaction and took his seat.
Mr.. Davis moved to appoint Mary
Daniels to the vacancy in No. Ia, but
when informed that Superintendent
Howell advised that the staff there was
sufficiently large, he withdrew his mo-
tion.
on the suggestion of Architect Duck
worth the building committee was in

mendation of Architect Lacey, p. F.

watchful lest he should hear any un-

was to acquire. He had a nice broad
trimmed sailor hat with floating ribbon
ends, such as add special charm to a
nice little boys outfit, but Willie evil

he jerked them off and regarded his

she sewed them on again, while deliver

little boys. When she had concluded

 The Kaiser's Project Bound to Fail. How little likelihood there is of either Russia or France joining Elm peror William in his projected coali- ton against England will be seen by the recently issued official trade re- ports, which show that more than 30 per cent of Frances foreign com merce is transacted with Great Brit ain, a country which constitutes the market for more than third of the entire production of Frances indus try No less than 32 per cent of Rus sia's foreign trade is with Great Brit ain, which is the best customer for Muscovite grain: 59O, 100000 poods go to England each year, whereas Ger many takes only 5S000,000 poods. It is ridiculous, therefore, to imagine that either France or Russia would sacrifice its best markets and subject its staple industries to downright ruin solely for the purpose of satis- flying a purely personal spite of the kaiser against his English relatives.
