Many citizens-ladies as well as gen
tlemen-united yesterday in paying the
last public tribute of respect to the
memory of the late A. w. Campbell.
st. Matthew's Church was well filled
with relatives and friends of the de-
ceased, and there have been few occa-
sions of a similar nature in recent
years attended by SO many people fig
uring prominently in the daily life of
this community. Banker and business
man, members of the learned profess
sions, retired citizens, and young men
with a career still before them, editors,
reporters and printers, men and ONE
from the city and from the suburbs,
were there alike, in sorrowful recogni-
ton that the learned writer, the stead
fast friend, the gentle gentleman, had
departed no more to return TO US, and
that all that remained was to mingle
regrets at the sudden and irrevocable
parting with admiration for his char
acter and profound affection and re-
spect for his memory.
The services in the dimly lighted
church were unusually impressive,
though in themselves simple. The cas-
ket at the chancel rail was surrounded
by a few floral pieces, sen by those
near and dear to the deceased. On the
right of the central aisle were compact
ly gathered the attending newspaper
men, with the pall-bearers directly in
their rear. Near by were the mourning
sister and children, and then the body
Of the church was filled with the
friends there to attest their sorrow.
The services were opened with an
organ solo, the majestic funeral march
from Beethoven's Sonata, opus 26, and
this was mOdulated into the same com
poser's Burial Chant" in c minor,
rendered by the quartette, made up of
Mrs. George B. Caldwell, Mrs. PEBBLES
Tatum, and Messrs. Clemans and Zu-
lauf. The Scripture selection was read
by Rev. N. 3. IhOmaS, rector or st.
Matthew's, followed by the chant, THY
Will be Done" by the quartette. Rev.
Oliphant, pastor of the First Christian
Church, delivered the eulogy, and his
remarks well depicted the life and
character Of the deceased. The quar-
tette, Peace, Perfect Peace" was fol-
lowed by an earnest prayer by Rev.
DR.. D. A. Cunningham, pastor Of the
First Presbyterian Church, and the
services were at an end. Many took
a last view of the remains, and then
the body was conveyed to the hearse
and removed, followed by a large num-
Der of carriages, to the final resting
place in Greenwood cemetery, where
the usual closing services occurred.

latiOn in reading room, 1,105; average
circulation per day, 28S; amount re
ceiYed from fines $11.
The committee on accounts reported
bills aggregating $993.26, and they
were ordered paid.
The committee or library submitted
bills ~aggregating $170.60, and they were
ordered paid, and new books aggregat-
ing $53.7 II were ordered purchased. The
committee also recommended that the
lease of the library room be extended
for two years from April LIST, at the
annual rental of $1,000. 1t was amend
ed to extend the time one month to
April 80, 1901, and in that form was
approved.
The report of the committee on rules,
that all resolutions presented to the
Board be reduced to writing and sign
ed, provoked some criticism, but was
adopted.
Superintendent Anderson asked for
an appropriation of $z25 for instruc-
tors for the institute to be held the
first week in September. Mr.. Miller
moved to amend by inserting com
mencing the last Monday in August"
instead of the first week in Septem-
Der, and this led to the usual talk,
largely along the line that VALE the
Board could not compel the attend
ance of teachers at the institute, it
might be possible to refuse to re-
appoint or confirm teachers who failed
to attend the institute.
Mr.. Waterhouse and Mr.. Milligan
offered a resolution looking to plans,
Specifications and cost of a new per
manent foundation under Centre
school. 1t was adopted.
Mr.. Cranmer submitted the resigna-
ton Of Mr.. B. S. Mcclure, commissioner
from Clay, and it was accepted. DIR.
E. A. Hildreth was chosen to fill the
vacancy. When worn in DR.. Hildreth
will take Mr.. McLure's place on COM
mitteeS.
Superintendent Anderson called at
tention to the fact that the first of
April this year fell on Saturday, and
suggested that the April vacation com
mence on Monday, the Sd. Mr.. Noble
made a motion ito that effect. Col.
Miller opposed it for several reasons,
one of them being that more and more
people were moving on the first Of May,
rather than April, and if any change
was to be made, the vacation should be
changed to the first week in May. Mr..
Schaub agreed with Mr.. Miller, and
favored abolishing the vacation alto
gether, and Mr.. Schrebe made the same
suggestion. Mr.. Noble defended the
spring vacation, on the grounds of rec
reation, if nothing else, and the de-
bate ran on for quite a while, during
which Mr.. Mobiles motion t o suspend
the rule was lost. Mr.. Schaub then
moved TO strike out rule No. 100, so
as TO do away with the spring vaca-
ton altogether, and Mr.. Milligan
moved to refer that to the committee
on rules. This caused more talk, the
motion to refer was laid on the table,
on motion OF Mr.. Sohrebe, and took the
whole matter with 1t.

A SMALL FIRE
At the Heilmeier Dying Establishment,
Yesterday Afternoon.

Yesterday afternoon about a quarter
after one an alarm from box No. % called
the entire fire department to Market
street and alley twelve.
The fire was in the second story OF the
John Heilmeier dyeing establishment,
having broken out in a large closet, and
ate its way up under the roof, but was
easily handled by the chemical company,
once 1t got to work.
The deep snow and slush made 1t very
difficult for the horses to move the APP
paratus at a good speed, and some com-
panies were unavoidably late as a result.

Here" whispered Judge Goldfogle
to the waiter. I'm an officer from

Very good. sir" replied the waiter,
bowling very low and pocketing the 81
tip Judge Goldfogle had given him.
Now let us have pie and then a
small cup of French coffee" said Mr.
Blumenthal TO the waiter.
II will take the same" said Judge
Goidfogle.
The waiter brought a portion for the
Judge. but none for the Assistant Dis
trtct-Attorney.
No coaxing could induce the waiter
to serve Mr.. Blumenthal. Then he be-
came angry and told the manager that
he m ct discharge the waiter.
Why, that fellows crazy!" said the
waiter, His keeper there told me
So"
Mr.. Blumenthal paid the bills. He is
now trying to get even with the

AN ExPEOIENT.
Aud 1t Caused the Young Man &c
Change His Mind

There is a rich man living out Hoyne
avenue way, and he has a promising
son whose only weakness Is an ina
bility to get into the house In the even
ing at an hour regarded as correct by
the two heads Of the family and who
object to letting him set fresh time
OF his own.
The rich man has had a good deal OF
trouble with that son, and at last he hit
upon rather odd expedient OF sending
him on pleasure trip to Europe. He
gave the boy all the money that would
be needed for the journey, provided
him with letters of introduction to men
in and out OF official life who might
