his home at East Mortified at noon Fri

came in to see you"
A little later Mr.. Moody talked freely to
MS sons, saying: 81 have always been an

Impressive Funeral Services.

Tributes From Bishop MalIRIIeu, John
wanamaker, Drs. Torrey, ScOheId,
Chapman, Weston and PIerson, and
w. II. Moody.
The funeral services over the body of
Dwight L. Moody were held on Tuesday
and never was there more beautiful win
ter morning. cloudless sky and warm
bright sunshine, with the loving efforts of
friends, did much to tighten the gloom and
comfort the aching hearts of those who
loved him. Early in the day people began
to come from far and near to pay their last
tribute to NorthhelIs greatest son and Of
fer their silent sympathy to the bereaved
family. AS the body was to be removed
to the church early in the day to give the
public an opportunity to look upon his
face for the last time, an early service pre-
coded the removal. At o'clock, in the
presence of the immediate family and rela-
tives, Rev. Dr. Scofield read selections from
the scriptures and Rev. DIR. Torrey offered
prayer. The friends then viewed the body,
and after the family had withdrawn, the
body was removed from the couch where it
had reposed, and placed in plain black
casket opened full length.
The body was borne to the church on an
oblong black bier by 32 students from the
Mt. Hermon school, being led by Rev. DR..
Scofeld and Rev. DR.. Torrey, and followed
by the pail bearers and family. Reaching
the church at 10:45 O'Clock, the body was
placed in front of the altar and the lid re-
moved. The floral decorations at the
house and church we're simple and beauti-
full, in keeping with the quiet taste of the
deceased. At the head of the casket was a
- ,rft l,o do. 81
in white upon it, above which was purple
ribbon, with some of Mr.. Moody's last
words, "God is calling me-" upon it. This
was gift from the trustees of Mt. Her
mon school. Over this was a wreath of
palm leaves and roses from the teachers of
the seminary; across the foot was a bunch
of cycas leaves from the Bible Institute of
Chicago, while at the foot of the casket
was large floral design representing the
Bible. The pages were white with bor-
der of purple, and base of green. On
the left hand page was the word, Victory
l. Corinthians, XIV, 55,57, and on the OPP
posite page was the reference, III. Timothy,
w., 7-8.
Professors from the boys school stood at
each end of the casket while hundreds OF
friends passed by, many whose span of life
extended far beyond the time allotted to
man. Mr.. Moody's face was serene and
peaceful and very lifelike, the body being
clothed in his accustomed dress.
At 2:30 O'Clock, the appointed hour fol
the funeral, the family and other relatives
arrived, being seated in the body of the
church. All ministers and evangelist
present were invited to the platform, 8
large number being seated there. The ser

The entire services, although long, were
marked by the greatest simplicity as would
have been the wish of Mr.. Moody. The
eulogies spoken were eloquent and impress

they paid him loving tribute consecrat-

he had laid down.

SALOON AND SCHOOLS
Director Lewis Resolution Of
Protest Against Various
Licenses Adopted.

A protest was made by the Board OF
Education, last night against the grant
ing of any license for saloons on the
corners of Erie and Fourth streets A
few night ago the Aldermen listened to
Director Lewis. who represented that the
proposed saloons were close to School
No. 2.
He made report last night to the
Board of Education concerning his ap-
pearance before the Aldermen
'I told them" said Mr. Lewis, that
the saloons were too close to Public
School No. e. which is attended by over
fifteen hundred children. the most of
whom have to pass and repass that corner
and many Of them at certain times of the
day make that corner a playground.
Saloons are not blessings and are not
desirable. especially near our public
schools and believe It to be the duty Of
this board to give expression Of its OPP
position and enter solemn protest to
the Board of Aldermen against licenseing

Whereas, 1t is reported to this Board
that applications have been made to the

saloon license on the southwest corner Of

a5yhereas. III the judgment of this
Board liquor saloons in such close proxlm-
ity to a public school are destructive TO
rhe public welfare and baneful N their
influence upon the children attending the
school and because of the public school
located there two applications for licenses
ought not to be granted; now therefore
be It y,
'.Resolved, That we protest against the
granting of license for a saloon where
Intoxicating liquors are to be sogd On
these two street corners IN sucn etose ,s,ts

hereby request the Honorable the BoaTq
of Aldermen to withhold their approval
and to refuse to grant the licenses III
question.
Director Ward said he was in SYM
pathy with the spirit of the resolution,
but preferred not to offer it, as 1t was an
ticipadfng that the Board of Aldermen
was going to do something it ought not to
do, and he thought it would be dis
courteous for one official Board to assume
that another would do any such thing.
In his opinion they had no reason to be
Meve that the Board Of Aldermen intendeu
to grant these licenses.
Director Lewis Was surprised that his
resolution would meet with any objection.
He believed 1t to be right and proper for
the Board to adopt.
Director Ward replied THAT it were bet
ter to wait until the Board of Aldermen
acted in the matter and if they granted
the license then the Board could take ac-
ton
Director Cullen was of the same opin-
ion as Director Ward. He thought it
would be assuming too much to believe
that if this Board did not protest the IL
,censes would be granted. This was deli-
cate step to take, if not a dangerous one
Director BirdsaN advocated the adop-
tion of the resolution; action should not be
delayed.
Director Egbert objected to delay, he
cited the case of his entering protest
against saloon after 1t was licensed
near No. 10 School, and was asked by the
Aldermen why he had not protested be-
fore the license was granted.
Director Lewis upheld his resolutions.
Director Kennedy stated that several
citizens had asked him if the Board of
Education was not going to- take some
action to prevent these licenses being
granted. The people expected this board
to act in the matter.
President Mulvaney said it was the duty
of the Board to look after the welfare of
the children of the public schools. The
Board should not hesitate for moment
to adopt the preamble and resolution in
the interest of the public schools. 1t
should face what appears to be danger
and do it now. not lie idle and when too
late complain.
1--WE must not appear weak, but act
promptly in order to possibly prevent
wrong being DONE"
Director Baker favored the resolution.
The preamble and resolution were then
adopted by unanimous vote.
