for the funeral services OF Miss Ar

Friday. after an Illness of only two
days.
while there were a number of fash
ionable people in the assemblage, It
was particularly notable for the many
poor and moderately circumstance
mourners. whose grief none could ques-
ton. Miss Smiths benefactions reached
some of the humblest homes in town,
and the love and generation of those
for whom she spent her life followed
her even to the grave.
There was hardly dry eye among
the women whom her employment
bureau. connected with the church, had
assisted. The members of her Bible
class, of Holy Trinity Chapel, St
Jamess parish, were on hand to testi-
fly by their presence to the loss OF not
only beloved instructor but a tender.

PELZER IS EMPLOYED
WILL FLOAT CTTY's REFUNDyNc
BONDS.


The adoption Of an ordinance author
izing the Mayor to employ Arthur Pei
ger as an agent to float $4,000 of re-
funding bonds was the feature Of the
very short and busy special session
that the City Council held last night.
The ordinance carries an appropriation
Of $3.50. the amount of the fee that
Mr.. Pelzer will receive.
The ordinance was introduced by
Chairman Lobman Of the Finance Com
mittee and adopted with but one dis
senting vote, cast by Alderman J. c.
Tyson. who spoke in opposition to the
practice of hiring an agent every time
the city wished to float bonds, a task
which he thought might well be per-
formed by the Mayor or the Finance
Committee itself.
The bonds, $1,000 in amount. are is
sued for the purpose of refunding
bonds which will become due July /.
Those present were Aldermen Ruth,
who presided. and Aldermen Coins, J.
C. Tyson. Roemer, Lobman, Foster,
Griffith, TAFT, Ryan and Jones.
The first business called was the
consideration of the ordinance author
izing the Mayor to employ, at an ex-
pense of not more than $3.50, Arthur
Pelzer as an agent to sell the $S1, 900
of refunding bonds, the issuance of
which is to be made to take up bonds
due July 1, Mr.. Lobman introducing
1t.
Mr.. J. c. Tyson opposed the ordi-
nance. He deprecated the employment
of an agent every time the city wishes
to float bonds and expressed doubt of
the legality of the payment of a COM
mission which had the effect of reduc-
