Wednesday night. AS is usual with
this event it was a grand success. A
large crowd turned out and spent a
very pleasant evening and part of the
next morning. The music this year
was excellent Many remarks to the
effect that it was the best ever heard
in the hall were heard from a few
people who knew something about it.
The hall was beautifully decorated
and the gay crowd helped very much
to make the affair an unusually bril-
liant one. The door prize, which
was put up by Kohen Brothers, the
local jewellers. was won by Mrs. w.
.O'Brien, and the five dollar gold piece
was won by John Musk, an employe
of Matthew Herman. The door prize
was a beautiful silver loving cup, and
needless TO say the winner was very
much pleased. The members of the
order are well pleased with the result
of the affair

John Tully, a resident of the bor-
ough for many years, passed away
this week. He was healthy man UP
until a short time ago, when he was
seized with a paralytic stroke while
he was eating his dinner at the
Chrome Steel Works At that time
ne was ruSned 10 the hospital and
was brought around again, but his
danger was that he might suffer an
other stroke. For several weeks it
seemed that he would completely re-
cover his health, and he was conf
dent himself that all would be we'll,
but in spite of all precaution he was
seized with another stroke and was
unable to stand 1t. Tully was well
liked around the borough and Is also
well known, as he is a member of
several fraternal orders.

Tottenville, Dec. President Van
Name has secured another additional
appropriation, $1,000 which with the
balance remaining OF the prior appro-

pecially, | have been with him con-
stantly, and have seen much of the
real worth of the man. His love for
his own, his fidelity to his friends,
and most of all his interest in the
church were marked traits. He set
his heart on building of a church
here, and though there was no money
and times were very unfavorable he
never gave up nor doubted that it
could be done. He was the first to
see the need of a house for the min
ister's home, and kept at it until all
the rest saw the need. Both of these
are now assured to the community
very largely through his fine vision
and courage.
In times of sickness and when I
knew he was carrying heavy loads of
his own, l have heard him respond
to inquiries after his health, "Oh.
I'm fine, if was any better I couldn't
stand it." This unquenchable spirit
of optimism not only carried him
through many hard places, but also
made him the best beloved man in the
whole community. 1t is safe to say
that there is not man in all this re-
gion that will be more missed, or that
was more respected by all than
George Graham.
There is little than we can say or
do that will help to comfort your
sorrow, and that of his brave little
wife, but we can stand together with
reverent hearts in the presence Of
his going. and realize together that
the nearest that God the Father, ever
gets to earth is through the lives OF
his own children and that through
these lives he is constantly very near
to all of us.
Sincerely YOUR brother.
