The news OF the death Of Louis Silo-

to the funeral services. which were to
be held in the late afternoon. Among
them was Joseph Herschlon. aged 81.

the body. a feather was held to the lips.
II seemed TO the overwrought watchers

The aged mans voice broke with the
Joy Of the words and he seized the
hands Of those nearest. him. Then
great trembling seized him. They tried
to hold Herschloff. but he fell.
A few minutes later when a physician

this being that every city commissioner
