great difficulty of submitting to the

The pain Of the unexpected parting is
deep, but the lilies of Easter, still in
bloom, give promise of the glorious life
that follows death, and the firm belief
in immortality bouys us up in our Sor-
row.
Mr.. Wells address did not occupy
more than Is minutes, and was followed
by the beautiful hymn, Nearer Home, y
rendered as solo by Mrs. E. p. Frcst.
A touching and eloquent prayer by Mr.
Wells closed the brief exercises. Feel

of Mr.. Milliken, now in California.

lecture room on the second floor.
The park policemen let in 400 children
and then closed the doors. There were
400 left outside, and only about 800 of
those inside the building could find seats.

New York, April misunderstanding dull
ness marked the dealings In stocks. to-
day, from start to finish. The total shares
go and dealers and brokers found their
occupation practically gone. Tobacco
was the only stock dealt In to the extent
of IO.0e0 shares and there was ~ selling
movement. In the railway list outside the
coalers the only stock which varied its
price to the extent OF point was Burl-
ington and It's net change was only W.
Such market offered no inducement. ex-
cept to the strictly professional element
and to them only for a very quick turn
on In almost infinite small margin. The
whole market continued to be dominated
by the war situation In Europe and the
opening adhered closely to the level al
ready established for the days trading
In London.
There was a slight squirt of activity
shortly after midday. In spite of the
inaniation in the market II Is noticeable
that the bears were very sharp OF making
any wholesale onslaught upon II or OF
putting out new shares. The indications
point also to Il large decrease In the exist
ing short interest in the last few days.

buted to the bidding up OF loan rate

row market were alleged specialties. In
tobacco, the decline was due TO reports
from the West of the hostility to the
