Doctor Isaac K. Funk


The sudden closing of the active career of Doctor
Isaac K. Funk senior member of the firm of Funk and
Wagnals N Y. City, has brought weight of grief
and to widely extended circle of friends and
associates. Few persons who came in touch with
this great intellect and gentle heart have failed to
ceive an IMPRESS which will abide until the closing
day. Doctor Funk, while pre-eminently a Of

merc1a ability actively and personally interested
in every great which sought the betterment
Of individual social conditions Without fanaticsms

During the life of this PERIODICAL every atom of it's
influence exerted the end that friends might be
made for the of decency and sobriety and
of its energies expended in the direction of the
abuse of others who saw not this great problem in
accordance with its statesmanlike vision.
For many years Doctor Funk has been an ardent
ally and generous supporter of the Anti-Saloon
League propaganda, in both state and nation He has
long been active and efficient member Of the head
quarters committee Of the New York Anti-Saloon
League and has brought to each monthly meeting all
that rpeness of wisdom and business acumen, which
has made his adventures in the commercial world so
eminently successful. Through his publication of the
Homiletc Review and the Literary Digest, he has done
as much to shape the Christian thought and provide
clean reading for the homes of the nation as any
in America.
His beloved wife preceded him to the better land
within the year, and he tarried here uncomplainingly,
under the shadow of the great sorrow while he pressed
forward with all the vigor which his advancing years
allowed, in the prosecution of the great tasks which
lay nightly upon his hands and heart.

BERLIN. November 9.-Prince Nicholas
of Thurn and Taxis has been sentenced
by a military court to three weeks cham
ber arrest under somewhat peculiar cir
cumstances. He retired from the navy
early this year and thereafter belonged
as lieutenant to the reserve.
At the beginning of June he received a
communication from the naval authorities
in connection with mobilization move
ments. but took no notice of the docu-
ment. During the following month no
fewer than nine similar communications
were sent him. but none Of them succeed
ed in attracting the princely attention
The result was that he was summoned
before military court charged with OBJ
stinate disobedience and sentenced to con-
nnement 70 his house for three weeks.
The princes excuse was that he was
travelling and so neglected to answer the
communication.

CHICAGO. November 9.-Climbing ivy

of the members Of the board of education.

of five-year custom to paint the build
ings red was vigorously opposed by Roth
mann, who succeeded In staying the pro-
posed action Of the board.
This idea of painting schoolhouses red
every five years is a bad one," said Mr..
Rothmann. THE color strikes you in the
face two blocks away. 1t makes the ba-
bies in the neighborhood so cross no one
can sleep at night.
I'VE should plant ivy and other vines
and the buildings will be covered by ma
ture in a few years. This will eliminate
the cost of painting and will be more
beautiful than any paint as well as acting
advantageously on the minds of children" !"
The board suspended action until the
plan could be investigated.

RELIC OF TWELFTH CENTURY.
Stonework Of Arched Doorway in
Famous Church in London.
,ecial Correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON. November 1, 1912.
A wonderful transformation has been
brought about in the western porch OF
the famous Round Church of the Temple,
that relic Of the twelfth century which is
always happy hunting ground of Amer
ican visitors. In the course of restora-
ton work recently carried out on the
porch 1t was discovered that the stone
work of the beautiful little semi-circular
arched doorway was covered with a thick
deposit of some preservative stuff. put
on probably during the restoration and
alteration of the early part Of the last
century. The deposit was carefully clean
ed off with chemicals. and underneath
was found the original stonework and
carving of the arch.
Having been thus protected from the
London smoke and fog, the whole was
found to be in perfect state of preserva-
tion, the carving-of the most intricate
and delicate kind-being almost as fresh
as the day on which it was wrought.
The archway is now in practically the
same condition as it was in 11S5, when
the knights Templar built the Round
Church as their place of worship, the
style being transition Norman.

The utilization of convict labor for

It has been done with excellent results
In a number Of states. In Georgia. espe-
cially in Fulton county. there is a sys-
tenn of public roads built by convicts,
which has become the pride Of the state.
The same may be said Of Virginia, where
it was arranged that counties desiring
TO improve their roads should furnish the
raw material and the state would supply
convict labor. 1t has been found, how
ever, that in many instances the cost of
conveying prisoners some distance to the
work and of maintaining guards over
them while at work, was more expensive
than to hire outside laborers. There are
several other objections entering into the
mitigation OF convict labor outside of the
