'It is not for me to dwell upon the
life of the man who has just passed
out of our midst. AS / have been
thrown into his society 1 have found
he was faithful. to the obligations of
his life. His life was characterized by
loyalty to conviction, as many of you
know. Whatever else can be said of
him, he was true to his convictions
even when they meant great. loss. He
was a true and devoted father, a low
ing husband, loyal friend and brother
in the order to which he belonged, and
as such he will be remembered by you
all as long as life shall last"

MAY DEMAND LICENSES
FROM CREAM SHIPPERS
Opinion of Former Corporation Counsel
Missing-Health Officer Asks New
Ruling.

The Corporation Counsel will be asked
to decide whether it is necessary for a
person shipping cream into the District
of Columbia to obtain license from the
District authorities.
From the report of the Health Officer
it appears that the former Corporation
Counsel has decided that no license is
required in such cases, but the Health
Officer states that he is unable to find
a copy of that ruling. and for that
reason would like to have the question
passed upon by the incumbent Corpora
ton Counsel.
The case is that of Edgar McGray. adj
ministrator, who has been shipping
cream to the city without a license from
the dairy of c. c. Mercier, at Hamilton.

Governments unchanged.
The stock market opened steady in

One of the most prominent commits
sion houses in the Street writes TO its
clients: Never before have we seen
the Street so bare of authentic infor-
nation of value from quarters where
it should be most expected. The best
opinions are contradictory as TO the
causes of this long continued liquida-
ton, but all agree that there is large
amount of ill-advised selling" Broker
age opinion of the market is mostly
negative. but a number of houses where
clients buy for the "long pull" and can
afford. therefore, to ignore fluctuations,
are beginning TO favor conservative
purchases with a view TO averaging on
q scale down if prices should go lower.
IN those quarters a more hopeful view
Is taken of the situation than generally
prevails in speculative circles.
