HIS VIRTUES TOLD
IN GLOWING WORDS
Impressive Services Over the
Remains of Rev. DR.. Alex
ander Gilchrist.
MANY ATTENDED FUNERAL
THE REV. S. r. LYONS OFFiCiAT-
ED AND OTHER MINISTER'S AS
SISTED - FLORAL TRIBUTES
MAGNIFICENT.

In the church which he bur SO re-
Gently dedicated and amidst the glow
ing tributes to his sterling worth,
character, and christian fellowship,
the funeral services over the remains
of the late Rev Alexander Gilchrist,
were held yesterday afternoon at two
o'clock in the United Presbyterian
church, the Rev. S. r. Lyons, pastor
of the church and an almost life long
friend of the deceased officiating.
Probably no more impressive funer-
al services were ever held in this
city. Hundreds of the friends and
former Pensioners of DIR. Gilchrist,
were present to pay their last tribute
to the man who in his all confiding
life, his goodness, his christian but
broad and liberal mind, had been an
inspiration for them to follow in the
various walks of life.
Through the Rev. Allen Jay and
the Rev. Conrad Huber the heartfelt
was extended to the bereaved wife,
son and daughter.
Beautiful Floral Tributes.
The pulpit at the church was bank
ed in beautiful floral tributes which
came from points far and near.
From 1870 o'clock in the afternoon
until two o'clock, the time which the
funeral cortege arrived at the church
from the home of James Seaton of
North Sixteenth street, the great bell
in the tower of the magnificent struc-
ture tolled out the sorrow, which lay
heavy on the breasts of the former
friends of the deceased
After the remains had been carried
to the church, the Rev. S. r. Lyons
gave the Innovation, while the Rev. Jos.
Kyle, d. d., of Xexia, o., read the fol-
lowing portions of scripture, / Cor
inthians, 18th chapter, / Thesolonians
18th to 10Th; Revelations, 21ai to a2nd
chapters.
The Rev A. G.. Hastings of Muncie,
Ind, followed with a short prayer af-
ter which addresses were given by the
Revs. Jos. Kyle, s. r. Lyons, Allen
Jay, Conrad Huber and A. G. Hast
ings.
Rev. Hastings Tribute.
The Rev. Mr. Hastings who spoke
first, told of the high christian char
acter of the deceased, his manliness,
his kindliness of spirit and of the loss
which he personally felt in the man
who had been both a friend and teach
er to him. The home life of DIR. Gil
christ he said was the same as where
outside duties called him, always
showing the same gentleness of spirit
and love and candor. He during his
entire life looked on the more joyous

JAIL ROOF LIKE A SEIyE
SHERIFF WAS RAINED ON
Had to Move His Bed During the
Niqht i'm Order to Keep From Get
ting a Cold Shower Bath-Improye-
ments Badly Needed.

The roof of the County jail both
over the prison section of the build
ing, and that part occupied by Sheriff
Meredith and family is in a decidedly
bad condition. During the rain yes
terday the water leaked into the sleep
ing apartment of the sheriff and he
was compelled to move his bed into
another room. Repairs will be made
at once.
The county commissioners have
several proposed improvements at the
Jail under consideration, the most
important being the construction of
padded cell for insane prisoners.
1t is likely that the board will award
a contract for this work at the reg
ular meeting next Monday.

sister of the deceased, in the course
of her testimony before the coroner.
She said that upon her return home

Moore had disconnected the meter,
and an attempt had been made to

had once caused the downfall Of a
brave soldier.
In the course of the sad story he
said:
Sometimes, after debauch. the
man would be repentant, humble. He
would promise his wife to do better
But, alas, the years taught her the
barrenness of all such promises.
"And one night, when he was get
ting to be an old mana prematurely
old man, thin limbed, stoop shout
dered, with red-trimmed eyes-he said
to his wife, sadly:
"'You're a clever woman, Jenny; a

should have married a better man
than | am. dear
"She looked at him, and, thinking Of
what he once had been, she answered
in a quiet voice:
