A FIREMAN'S FUNERAL.
Remains Of George W. Sullivan Laid
to Rest-Choral Service by Visited
Choir.

A very largely attended funeral
took place yesterday afternoon from
st. Anne s Church, where the last
rites We're said over the remains of
George w. Sullivan, a member of the
Volunteer Fire Department.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by the Rev. DR.. Joseph P. Me
Comas, rector St Anne's vested
choir, of which the young son of the
deceased is a member, sang at the
services. Members of Independent
Fire Company No. 2, of which the de-
ceased was n member, attended in
large numbers.
Members of Water Witch Hook
and Ladder Company turned out in
goodly numbers and made fine show
ing in their neat blue uniforms
with box coats brass buttons, blue cans
and white gloves. The uniformity Of
their dress made a good appearance
in the funeral cortege. Members of
the Bricklayers, Plasterers and Ma
sons Union, to which the deceased be-
longed, also attended the obseouies as
did the Modern Woodmen of Amer
lea.
The pallbearers were chosen from
the Independent Fire Company No. 2.
the Modern Woodmen and Bricklay-
ers' Union. They were Messrs. John
H. Wells, Louis II. Martin, John
Boucher, Ferdinand Dammeyer, Jos.
eph Jewell and Meyers Boucher.
A beautiful and rather novel fea-
ture of the funeral service at St.
Anne's, was that the full vested choir
sang the full choral service. This is
only the second time this has occurred
at st. Anne's. As the remains en-
tered the church by the north door.
the choir assembled around the bier
and the vestmants of the deceased.
who had been a member of the vested
choir, both as a boy and as a man,
were laid aross the coffin. The coffin
was carried up the aisle with tie

vice made the funeral service most
/ impressive.
There were many beautiful fora
I tributes. The remains were buried

is survived by widow and four small
children.

DR.. LILLIAN WEIGH TALKS.
Give Instruction to Women in Socia
HYgiene.ss

II was most interesting and instruc-
tive talk that DR.. Lillian Weleh, Of
Goucher College, gave to number of
women who gathered Saturday night
at the Woman Suffrage headquarters.
State Circle, to hear her
DR.. Welch has been engaged in the
practice Of medicine some years and
is instructor in physiology and hygiene
at Goucher College, Baltimore. Her
subject Saturday evening was Social
Hygiene, "a subject of broad scope and
Of interest to humanity, or that por-
tion of it who are striving for sani-
tation and curative methods.
incidentally, DR.. Welch referred to
the dirty condition Of Baltimore's
streets, and said it was very pleasant
to feel that women who had not the
right Of franchise at this time had
no responsibility for these dirty
streets. Clean streets she said. is a
matter of municipal housekeeping.
She spoke of the beautifully kent
streets Of Munich and Berlin that
are so clean you can eat off them.
There is a certain pleasure in feeling
the responsibility for such clean
streets
Speaking Of statistics along medical
and sanitary lines, DR.. Welch said il
is impossible to get expert opinions
from men.if science must have expert
opinion, it is only to be got from
women along the lines of social work
and the work Of social hygiene. Ger
tain diseases are reportable, some are
not. 1t has been only a few years,
comparatively, since tuberculosis and
typhoid We're reportable by munich
palities. Typhoid, she said, is a dis
grace to a municipality, but not to
the individual
Dr. Welch talked long and earnest
ly about social evils, their cause and
effect, and the possible remedy. AT.
ter Dr. Welchs instructive talk she
invited general discussion, which was
entered into by some of the ladies
present. 1t is expected next Satur-
day night to have another talk for
women at the State Circle Apart
ments, of which due notice will be
given in these columns.

WANTS ONE BRIDGE
Severn River Association Com
mittee Confers With Governor
Goldsborough on Plane.
TOO MANY DRAWS NOW.
Consolidation of Railroad and County
Structure is Urged-Furlher Con-
ference Coming.

For the purpose of urging the
consolidation of the present county
bridge over the Severn River with
that now used as a railway causewav
by the Maryland Electric Railways
Company. a committee composed OF
P. NJ. Womble. Arthur d. Foster.
Henry D. Riggs. James NJ. Munroe
and Alton r. Arnold, representing
the Severn River Association, call
ed on Governor Goldsborough this
morning.
The Seven River association, com.
posed of property owners along the
Severn, is desirous of doing away
with one of the bridges and reducing
by one-half the de lays to navigation
through waiting for two draws to be
opened to craft of any but the small
est kind.
The present county bridge, which is
considered unsafe and has been so
posted by the County Commissioners.
is bone of contention between the
Commissioners and the State Roads
Commission, it being claimed bv the
former that the commission should
take il over as a part Of the Baltimore
to Annapolis boulevard. The Roads
Board, on the other hand, claims that
the act providing for the construction
of the road, does not contemplate the
taking over Of the old bridge or the
immediate erection Of a new struc-
ture.
THE Short Line bridge has also been
suspected of weakness for years, and
has been many times repaired, and
with both bridges in condition where
new ones would be a big step for
ward in safety, appearance and con.
venience, it is thought that the pres
ent plan of the Severn River Asso-
citation will, in all probability, meet
with such encouragement as will lead
to something at last being accom-
plished
The committees visit to Governor
Goldsborough this morning resulted
in the arrangement of further con-
ference on February Is, when in ad-
dton to members of the committee.
representatives from the Short Line,
the Federal Gvenment, abe State
Roads commission and the County
Commissioners win be on hand.
