lie pointed to Jesus Christ as a man
who had q passion for influence such
us never burned in any other human
heart. He sought to influence all men
in the universally of His love for
them. He felt profound interest in
every human being, of all lands and
an ages. His purpose was to make
known God to man, ana his method
was love. Jesus gave us us vital
knowledge.
Not one Of the great men of an
tiquity ever dreamed Of the brother
hood Of mankind or caught the true
meaning Of philanthropy until the
Christian era. All grant that the
character of Jesus was perfect; then
must the teaching have been perfect.
the truth of God and the truth is that
God is our father, is love.
He impressed upon the graduates
the duty Of becoming shaping force
in some sphere. Working with Jesus,
suffering with Jesus, you may render
the highest service and feel the purest
joy of which you are capable.

THEY WANTED A BONUS.
Twentieth Ward Property Owners
Wanted to Get Good Compensa-
tion from the City.

The plans for the construction Of a
part Of the sewer system which is to be
constructed in the Twentieth ward pro-
vide for the running of one branch Of
the sewer through private property for
distance of several hundred feet.
Councils, realizing that damages might
be claimed. recently passed a resolution
directing the recorder, the director of
public works and the city solicitor to
meet with the owners of property af-
fected and endeavor to secure an amic-
able adjustment without recourse to the
appointment of viewers. 1t was thought
at the time of the passage of this reso-
luton that the fifteen or more property
owners affected would be content to
waive all damage claims, providing the
city agreed not to assess them anything
for the cost of constructing the sewer.
II this idea fingered in the minds of
either Recorder Connell Director of
Public Works Roche or City Solicitor
Watson. it was eradicated very shortly
after the opening of a conference yes
terday afternoon between the three Off
cials mentioned and the property own
erS.
The first man called upon to state
what he thought he should receive was
little bashful about making any esti-
mate until someone else said something.
Then the man. next to him said he
wanted his sewer assessment free and
bonus OF $400. This gave the first man
courage. and he said he'd take 5000 and
his sewer assessment free. Everybody
called upon wanted their sewer assess
ment free and all the way from $3.50 to
S4OO in damages.
Recorder Connell finally announced
that he and the other city officers will
visit the properties affected, in the near
future, and look over the ground per-
sonally before arriving at any definite
conclusion.

ORDINANCE IS ILLEGAL.
Hence Bids for Paving Portion of
Washburn Street Were All Re-
jected Yesterday.

City Solicitor WatSon's declaration
| that the ordinance providing for the
laying of a brick pavement on Wash
burn street, between Sumner and Van
Buren avenues, is illegal. resulted in
the rejection yesterday afternoon of the
three bids received for the work.
The solicitor declared that the sys-
TEN of assessment provided for by the
ordinance is unwarranted by law. The
ordinance provides for the assessme mt
OF built-up and agricultural property,
according to the foot-front rule. and
this is not permissible under the law,
the solicitor said. When there are diff
ferent classes Of property on thor
oughfare which is to be paved, he de-
clared, the suburban and agricultural
property must be assessed according to
benefits received, and by no other
method.
Another reason which contributed to
the rejection of the bids is that the
ordinance provides for the laying of
curb of a specific size and kind to take
the place Of curb already provided for
by ordinance. laid and paid for by the
abutting property owners. The latter
contend that this curb is in good con-
dition and that they should not be
charged for putting down new curb,
The bids received We're all rejected by
Recorder Connell and Director of Pub
lie Works Roche. but nothing has been
decided as to future plans. 1t is be-
lieved, however. that a new ordinance
will be prepared by the city solicitor
and introduced in councils at an early
date. The bids received yesterday were
as follows:
NJ H. Dale--Pavc under car tracks, s225 per
square yard from curb to car track, 81 90 Der
square yard; keeping in repair for five years, 2
cents per square yard; straight curb. s. cents

foot.

TRIP ESTATE APPEALS.
In the matter OF the Tripp estate
there were two appeals. The late Ira
Trip provided in his will that the In
come Of his estate should be paid to the
two grandchildren, or their survivors,
share and share alike, neither Of them
to receive more than one-half thereof.
Walter Trip and Catherine Broadbent
were the two grandchildren. Walter
died, leaving as his heir his daughter,
Rosane Trip. Rosane's guardian, the
Luckawanna Trust and Safe Deposit
company, asked that one-hnlf the es-
tate should be given the great-grand-
child, or else an allowance. The trus-
tees of Ira Trip estate opposed this on
the ground that Catherine was entitled
to the whole of the income during her
lifetime.
Judge Vosburg decided that the child
of Walter was seized of a one-half in
terest In the estate, but possession was
suspended until after the death Of
Catherine Broadbent. the surviving
grand-child, and that the at-grand-
child, Rosane. having IAN estate in
prospect" was entitled to draw upon it
for maintenance. The Judge fixed
Rosanes allowance at 800 per month.
Both parties appealed, the great
grand-child wanting to secure her
fathers half of the estate, and the trus-
tees desiring to defeat the allowance.
In the appeal of the Lackawanna
Trust and Safe Deposit company, the
decree is vacated and Sc, aside and in
the appeal OF the Trip trustees. the
decree is reversed. This means, ac-
cording to the opinion of the interested
attorneys, that the great-grandchild.
Rosane Tripp, can Immediately come
into possession of one-half of the Tripp
estate.
NETTLETON-CARYL CASE.
The Nettleton- Caryl case is one be-
tween +. e. Nettleton and j. d. Caryl.
Mr.. Nettleton sold lana to Mr.. Caryl
on contract. BY a mistake of his at
torney, so he alleged, the agreement
failed to make any provision for inter-
est. When the last payment was to
be made. Mr.. Caryl demanded re-
ceipt in full on rendering the balance
of the principle.
Mr.. Nettleton demanded the balance
Of principal and interest. The local
court was convinced that the agree
ment contemplated the allowance of
interest and reformed the contract ac-
cordingly. The superior court con-
cludes that the evidence was not suf-
ficient to warrant the court in insert
ing the usual interest clause.

CoYNE WOULDN'T COMPROMISE.

r. j. Philbin failed to appear yester-
day before Alderman Kasson to prose-
cute the charge of embe2zlement, which
he brought against Tax Collector John
j. Coyne, of Minooka. Mr.. Coyne was
present and insistent upon a hearing,
but at the urgent request OF the prose-
cutor's attorney, Hon. John p Quinnan
the case was continued until Saturday
Mr.. Quinnan took the responsibility
to offer to withdraw the charge If the
defendant would agree to make an ac-
counting according to form proposed
by the prosecution. Mr. Coyne refused
to consider the offer, saying that he
had honestly made an accounting ac-
cording to the form which his counsel
had advised him was the legal one, and
he proposed to stand by 1t.
At all events, he said, maximum PEN
atty for the specific offense with which
he is charged Is a fine of 800, and he
would diminish his stock of govern
ment bonds to that extent rather than
crafty the prosecution by a compro-
mise.
