A Ramnrtable Funeral.

Many great men are respected while
living, but few are sincerely mOurned
when dead. The burial of a celebrated
local politician in New York last Sun
day was noteworthy in many respects.
He was not ia any sense great man,
Judged by strict standards of emInence,
but in his sphere of activity he must
have done well, for 10000 people follow
ed the hearse through a pouring rain.
To have Inspired this tribute of affec-
tiouate remembrance he must have had
a wonderful hold on their sympathIss.
But the secret of 1t all is found in the
truthful euloEy of the rabbi who con-
Quoted the services, and who said: HE
never deserted friend; never violated
a trust. Born of humble parents, he
worked his way to the front in the af-
fections Of the people. He was an I'M
FURNISHED gem. He had his faults, but
there is many a poor person who will
miss him."
And what are faults in comparison
with such humanitarian virtues. There
is true greatness in the man who lives
in the hearts of the people rather than
in the cold and analytical sauctuarIes
Of their minds.

OPPOSITION DEVELOPS.
Citizens object to Railway Passing
Through Town.
| Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, October 16, 1899.
Within the past week or ten days it has
developed that several prominent citizens
of Rockville are opposed to permitting the
Washington and Rockville electric railway,
now being extended from Bethesda Park,
to traverse the main street of the town.
The opposition was especially pronounced
on the part of one gentleman, and he went
SO far as to threaten to institute legal pro-
ceedings to prevent the laying of the tracks
as proposed The threat reached the ears
Of the railway officials, with the result that
the trolley poles, which were strewn along
the main street prepa ra tory to their erec-
ton, were a few days ago gathered up and
removed to a point outside of the corpora
ton limits.
In explanation of this move on the part
Of the railway company it is stated that
the company has decided to construct the
road no further than the extreme eastern
end of the town, thereby avoiding the legal
entanglements threatened
AT recent meeting of the Rockville
Business Mems Association a committee,
consisting of Messrs. VIM. Veirs Vouc
Charles d. Morgan, Benjamin F. Hicks,
Charles B. Jones and William H. Lamar
was appointed to ascertain the sentiment
of the citizens of the town in regard to the
route of the road. petition was pre-
pared by the committee and circulated, and
shows the people with only three or four
exceptions, to be in favor Of the road TAX
ing whatever route the company desires.
1t is not definitely known what will be
finally done, but the citizens are earnestly
hoping that the matter will be adjusted
that the road will be built the entire length
Of the town.
It is stated that it was the purpose Of the
railway company to expend about $4,000
in improvements to the streets of the town,
but it is now said the opposition that has
manifested itself will deprive the town of
these much-needed improvements, as we'll
the railway accommodations.

JUDGMENT AFFIRMED,
Court of Appeals Renders Opinion in
LOcaI Case

The Court of Appeals today handed down
an opinion, written by Mr.. Chief Justice
Alvey, in the case of the National Express
and Transportation Company against Mar
tin F. Morris, executor of Richard T. Mer-
rick. deceased. The judgment Of the lower
court is affirmed.
The action was brought by the National
Express and Transportation Company
against the defendant to recover an assess
ment of 80 per cent on certain shares of
the capital stock of the company, alleged
