OBITU4RT.
D.ath of Mrs. John S. Grimng.

Tn the death of Mrs. Mary Coley, widow of John Starr Grifing, which occurred at half past twelve o'clock yes- +e,5av noon. a much esteemed lady has oossad away and large circle of friends is called to mourn. She was en- dearsd to all who knew her owing to the oracas of her character and her mem- cry will ever be cherished in affec- tionate remembrance by all who had the uriyilege of her friendship. The de- ceased succumbed to an attack or tne erin with which she was prCstrated about two weeks ago. All that the ten der ministrations of those nearest and dearest and the best medical skill could do were unavailing. When her illness became very serious a consultation of physicians was had in the case, but oW- ing to her advanced age-she was in her seyenty-ninth year-all efforts were powerless to check the progress of the weakness which caused her death.
 She was the widow of John S. Grifffng, who was for many years one of the old time prominent merchants of State street. and who was a man greatly es- teemed in our community. Her father was the late John H. Coley of this city, who was in the latter part of his life a merchant of no in New York city. She leaves four childrsn-one son, Frederick, who is in the west, and three daughters, Miss Mary s. Grifing and Miss Joseph inc Griffing of this city, and Mrs. Tillie Bancroft of California, wife of Hubert IT Rancroft famed as the historian of the Pacific coast. Mrs. Bancroft is in the city,spending the winter here among the associations Of her youth.
 The deceased lady was one of the old est uemb bers of Center church.
 The funeral services will take place from her late residence, No. SS Trum- bull street, on Friday afternoon at half past two o'clock

athletic and social features. The boys have many good times together in their social gatherings, and the spirit Of brotherhood breathes through them all, The annual camp is most helpful, and the young men look forward to it with great expectations. The monthly mis- sionary meetings held under the lead ership of the pastor or his assistant has netted about $50 for the cause of the gospel. The company was never in better shape in all ways than at pres ent, under the able leadership of MT Bodwen and his faithful officers, com- missioned and commissioned.
 The Humphrey street church Bible school, more commonly known as the Sunday school, reported through it's secretary Frank l.. Coleman, an en- rolled membership of 43S, with an ave- age attendance of 2S2. By means Of a new arrangement whereby the eX- penses of the school are paid out Of another fund provided for that purpose, all the offerings of the school have gone to different benevolent objects. In this way the sum of $5S0 has been given to various forms of missionary and benev- olent work. By this arrangement every incentive is given to the children and parents to be liberal in their contrlbu- tions towards the class collections on each Sunday. One of the most helpful and hopeful things about the Bible school is the large and well attended teachers meeting held weekly to dls- euss and study the lession for the fol- lowing Sunday, under the leadership of c. J. Hawkins, who carefully pre- pares himself for this work as the as- sistant pastor of the church. With such a successful meeting of a fine body of trained teachers the Bible school is sure to be, as it is, the most efnclent l and important branch of this church ! work FEE. Mix,for many years,as now , the superintendent, and his faithful as 1 sistants, Mr. Hayes, MT. Atwater, Mrs Perry, Mrs. Armtsrong and Mrs. Elm { merich are to be congratulated upon the good work done and in store.
 At the close of these reports the pas | tor, Rev. Frank R. Luckey, gave the i total membership of the church De cember 27, 1898, as 4S7. There nave 1 been received in membership during the year a total of Is; by profession ol faith. and z by letter. There have beer removed a total of eighteen, by deatf l and F by letter, and by revision of the
