1T was an humble homo in which he was
born. 1t is a beautiful thing that to the end
of his life he bent reverently before that
mother whose example and teaching and
prayer had so fashioned his mind and all
his aims. The school came but briefly, and
them came to him the church with min
istration Of power. He accepted the truth
which 1t taught He believed In God and in
Jesus Christ. through whom God was re-
vealed. He gladly partook with his brethren
of the symbols of mysterious passion and
redeeming love &c the Lord Jesus Christ.
He was helpful in all of those benefcences
and activities. and from the church, to tn.
close of his life, he received Inspiration that
lifted him above much OF the trouble and
weakness incident to our human nature. and

! suppose no one ever attempted to an
.proach him in the way of bribe: and we
remember. with great felicitation at this
time for such an example to ourselves
that when great financial difficulties and
perils encompassed him, he determined TO
deliver all he possessed to his creditors;
that there should be no. challenge of his
perfect honesty in. the matter. A man of
immaculate purity shall we say? No stain
was upon his escutcheon;, no syllable of
suspicion that ever heard was whispered
against his character. He walked in per-
feet and noble self-control.
Beyond that, this man had somehow
wrought In him great and generous love
for his fellow-men. He, believed in men.
He had himself been brought up among the

Joint Session Not Held.

The first matter taken up in the Sec
ond Branch after the reading of min
utes had been dispensed with was to
adopt a resolution asking the First
Branch to go into joint session for the
purpose of electing city weighers. The
First Branch declined. l'he Second
Branch asked for a committee of con-
ference by vote OF 10 to 8, and Messrs.
Plant, Wiedner and Brown were ap-
pointed by PRECEDENT Shafer. Mr.. Weis-
gerber changed his mind and together
with Mr. Fitzsimmons voted to recall
the conference committee and proceed
with the regular order of business. The

The Second Branch of Council was in
session about three times as long as the
First Branch last night. the latter body
again refusing to go into joint session
for the purpose of electing the new city
weighers.
The proceedings in the Second
Branch were enlivened somewhat by un-
expected oppoition to the ordinance in
creasing the pay of firemen. 1t came
from some of the Democrats after the
Republicans had defeated the resolution
providing for the appointment of four
assessors to make the decennial assess
ment provided for by ordinance. Those
who favored the resolution argued that
much property is under-valued, and a
proper assessment would mean a con-
siderable increase in the revenues. At
ter it was defeated some of the Demo-
Gratis tried to hold up the fire depart
ment ordinance.

ing the salaries of firemen on account
of the financial condition of the city.
He called attention to the fact that the
