 of the Dead.

 My Dear Mr. Peckham--I wish there was some day in which could express my profound sense of personal bereave- ment in the death of Abram s. Hewitt, and, above all. my feelings at a citizen of what we all owe him. His presence has been in the literal sense of the word an inspiration to the decent performance of duty by all who wished well to the State and the memory of his life is a heri- tage of honor for the city.
 Sincerely yours,
 Therefore Roosevelt Former President Cleveland said in part:
 The universal grief that has troubled this great city, where Ahram s. Hewitt lived so long and wrought so vel, Indl- cates the true value of his life.
 We have fallen upon a time when many disturbances in the currents of our social political and industrial life. nearly give'rtse to the fear that the stalwart and patriotic popular views essential to our national success and happiness are grow lS "eak ana pefhaps waning to eXttnc- ion.i But from the dead whom we here lament comes reasSurapce. and we are taught by the spontaneous tribute paid on every side to his civic usefulness. that tho American people still gratefully dwelt upon distinterested service for tho public veal, and that patriotic impulse and high aspirations still have an abiding place tn the hearts of our countrymen.
 "As members of a nation more favored by God than any other which He has permitted to exist. let us realize our ob- liigatibns to make safe and secure the government by the people which has been entrusted to our keeping Let us remem- Der that 1t can thrive and grow only in the atmosphere of popular devotion and unselfbh attachments; and. above all things let us open our hearts to such ins fiuencts and teachings as emanate from he lift and death which we today memo rializeI'

THE BOARD OF REVENUE.
Henry Mitchell Files a Claim for
 S1S4,

Claim was made for $1s4 by Henry Mitchell, contractor for the Carter Hill Lane yesterday at the meeting of the Board of Revenue of Montgomery CQun- ty. Notice was given that if the claim was not paid suit would be brought against the County.
 When the Carter Hill Lane was com- pleted several months ago, Mitchell was paid for his services. Later 1t was dis covered that he had received S1S4 less than was his just due by the contract, through a mistake in addition. It was also dis covered at this point that an error had been made in the measurement of some gravel by which Mitchell was benefited to an amount about equal to $1s4.
 The Board proposed that as a matter of equity. matters should stand as they were. Mitchell demurred on the ground that both errors were chargable to the Board and were not his fault.
 The Board postponed action on the claim until Monday.
 Repair work was ogdercd done on the bridge over Black Slough on the Wood ley road.
 The Board then adjourned until Mon day.
