MISS TlLFORD DEAD /;
BURIED ON TUESDAY

4
The funeral Of Miss Gracia Tiliord,
VINO died at Asheville, N. e., last Sum
day' took place Tuesday morning from
the Southern depot, corner Of Walnut
ana Central on the arrival Of the train
bearing the remains.
There was large concourse Of the
friends Of the deceased at the depot TO
paya last sad tribute to the noble
young woman who had won her way TO
their hearts by her gentle and loving
disposition, and all sorrowed for the
devoted father and loving mother who
had undergone such sore trial, as
for the friend who was to be laid to
rest.
Fhe train arrived at 1l:45 and the
casket containing the body was trans
ferred to the hearse and taken to the
city cemetery, where Rev. Quincy Ew-
ing performed the last sad rites over
the remains. After the singing Of
Two hymns by the Episcopal choir,
beautiful floral tributes were placed
by hands upon the grave, cover
Ing 1t at least foot deep in flowers
The floral design placed there by the
Eiks, OF which society Mr.. Tilford is a
member, was beautiful thing. It
consisted Of bed Of flowers in which
the name of Gracia was spelled with
different colored roses; over this stood
a beautiful white dove with its wings
spread as il justin the act of flying.
4 The deceased, last January, left with
her mother for New Orleans to study
art at the Sophia Newcomb College.
1t was while there she contracted the
disease which caused her death at
,Asheville, where she had gone with
the hope of improvement.
Gifted in music and art bright in
mind, loyable and winning in dispos-
ition, she was a favorite OF all who
knew her, and her death causes deep
sorrow and regret in many homes.
Throughout her illness the hand OF her
mother tenderly nursed her, and all
that her parents couldsdo, and nothing
that would alleviate her snfferings or
add to her comfort wree denied her.
10 them the blow is hard one, as
she was the only star,at home, whose
brightness shone forth day and night,
causing a halo Of happiness to sur
round it. The only comfort one can
get out Of SO sad a lesson is that it is
Gods will, and His will shall be done,
always forthe best.a
The Times notes the end Of this
bright life with sorrow and extends
sympathy 70 those Who are called upon
to mourn her loss.

"i@the human mind sensible Of the
grandeur Of human events, there Is no
scene more beautiful than that Of q
perfect type Of manhood, aud i woman
of grace and beauty standing before a
church altar to seal the solemn vows
that are to unite them forthe journey
Of life. and added beauty is given to
the scene by the glowing lights, the
profusion Of floral effect, the brilliant
array of friends and the appointed man
Of God who pronounces the solemn
words that seal the troth and make
them man and wife till deathSdo them
part.
"The church was beautifully dccorat-
ed for this occasion with towering
palms, graceful ferns, and the deep
green boughs Of the magnolia, the ia
vorite towering tree Of the Southland,
mingled with which was thousands Of
daisies. It was an artistic effect pre-

A $4,000 DEFL
500 Road Makes a Challenge to Its
Competitors

Chicago. H. Ag. General Passen-
ger Agent Galloway, of the 500 line, has
offered to wager $4,000 that his road is
not a. rate-cutter. The offer Of the 500
line passenger agent-and he makes 1t
with the approval of the president of
the company-is to the managers Of all
roads operating between Chicago and
St. Paul and Minneapolis. He says he
will place a certified check for s., 900 in
the hands of the chairman of the West
ern Passenger association. in Chicago,
with the understanding that the six
Chicago-St. Paul lines put up checks
for the same amount with the same Off
cial to be used for the payment of
fines levied against any road found
guilty Of shading a rate one penny.
Mr. Galloway says If his road or any
of the Chicago-St. Paul lines is found
guilty OF any sort OF manipulation of
the passenger rates, the guilty corpora
ton is to be fined $500 for each and
every offense, the money for the fines
to be taken from the $1,000 deposited by
the different companies.
For years the 500 line which is an
auxiliary company of the Canadian
Pacific operating between the 500 and
the Twin Cities, has been continually
accused by Chicago-St- Paul roads of
cutting through rates from the north
west to eastern cities.
