In Memory.

A memorial service for the beloved
president of Tennessee's w. G. T. U.
was held at the Methodist Church
Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 20, from
8 to 5. Quite large concourse at
tended this service.
Among those present were many
of the delegates from the State
Christian Convention in session here,
and this was most fitting, as Mrs.
Holman was devoted member of
this church.
Glowing tributes were paid this
wonderful woman by many of her
admirers; one man speaking of her
in the Legislative halls as she plead
with tear stained face with our law
makers to sustain the measures that
would protect our men and boys.
Another spoke of her as wife and
mother, and still others as the great
leader she was in the cause of tenn
perance. Many women present spoke
of their intimate association with
her, and their tears and quivering
life showed beyond all words how
she was beloved.
Mrs. Lem Gilreath, of Carriers
Vile, Ca, closed the service with an
intimate talk on Mrs. Holman. Mrs.
Gilreath said for all of her life, of
almost fifty years, she had known
Mrs. Holman; known her and loved
her. She told how Mrs. Holman
worked in this cause when it was
an unpopular cause, how she plead
with men and women in Fayetteville
years ago to stand against the open
saloon, how she wrote letters and
cards all over the State pleading and
calling attention to this great cause
until men and women needed her
plea and the great reform measure
was on.
Mrs. Gilreath said last fall she
was in Bell Buckle and was intro
duced there by Senator Webb and
in this introduction he said, Mrs
Gilreath is sent to us by Mrs. Hol-
man and of Mrs. Holman / would
say-once Illinois was offered a
niche in the hall of fame in Wash
ington to put there the statue OF
her leading citizen and she put there
the statue of Francis Willard. Sc
one day Tennessee will be offered
such a niche and if I have voice
there l will cry out to put there the
statue of Silena Moore Holman, the
leading citizen of Tennessee"

FEARS HERE FOR SAFETY OF
WOMAN FOUND INSANE

The family OF Samuel Hyman, of
the Amboy Lighting Company, at
17S Smith street, fear for the safety
of Mrs. Fannie Hyman, sixty years
old, who was adjudged insane yester-
day by DR.. M. s. Meinzer and DR..
William E. Ramsay and was about to
be committed to the state hospital
for the insane at Trenton.
When City Marshal Desmond went
to the home to escort her to the in
stitution yesterday afternoon, Mrs.
Hyman was missing, the family be-
ing unable to tell where she was. 1t
is thought that she took refuge in
the home of a neighbor and is there
being harbored. The woman has re-
fused food for two days having had
the hallucination that some one was
trying to poison her by placing some
drug in her food. The physicians who
examined her fear that If she Is not
placed in the asylum shortly she may
end her own life. The commitment
papers allowing her to enter the
asylum remain in force for only five
days and If at the end of that time
she is not found before she is COM
mitted she will have to be re-exam-
ined and new affidavits made out by
the physicians, entailing q double
expense to the city.

Public park No. /, as Chairman
John ). Clark of the committee on
public grounds and buildings, has
chosen to call the recreation place at
New Brunswick avenue and Fayette
street, until more suitable name
is decided upon, is nearing compile
ton. That is so far as the labor is
concerned. Trees, privet hedge
plants and other plants will be put
in place and then nature will have to
do the rest, Mr.. Clark states.
1t is proposed to have the parks
known by numbers as they are estab-
lished until other names may be
given them Park No. / is the first.
1t has been laid out by City Sur
veyor S. J. Mason and Alderman
Clark, who finally completed that
task today. There will be gravel
walk around it and a flower bed
will adorn the center. Suitable
trees will be planted and there will
be rows of priyet hedges around the
edges and along the westerly bound
ary line. Suitable park benches will
be installed along the line between
the grass plot and the gravel walks.
In the opinion of Mr.. Clark the tract
will be greatly used by persons wish
ing to sit out of doors in summer
and rest, particularly by people COM
ing from distant points in the north

shoppers.

Cleanup week is being well OBJ
served by people from all quarters
of the city, according to reports
from the city street department and
the garbage contractors. The clean
ing progress seems to be under way
to a greater extent than it has ever
been since the scheme was adopted
here. Huge loads of refuse may be
seen en- route to the dumps almost
any minute of the day.
Several persons have called Mayor
Ferd Garretson to ascertain If refuse
would be removed the same day it
is put on the curb line. For the
information of the public again, the
mayor repeats that the street depart
ment workers and the garbage con-
tractors are doing all in their power
to keep the street rid of refuse as
fast as it appears, but in event there
is a large amount of rubbish at hand
for removal, it is desired that the
persons concerned call up the street
department, 290, of Assistant Street
Commissioner l.. G. Dayton, 505-M.
informing them regarding the loca-
tion of the rubbish.
