eighty seventh year at the home Of his
son, DR.. Ellis Z. W. Given, 2714 Co
lumbia avenue. He will be buried
Saturday.
Few men have a more interesting
past than Mr.. Given. and few have
extended their activities over so long
period. Tn his hunting trips he was
able to tire out younger men who
seemed more rugged. and he retained his
building activities long after most mel,
Of his age retire.
Mr.. Given. in building. devoted most
Of his attention to the construction Of
churches. In this, he made business u
pastime.
"Some men," he once said. "builtl
great monuments for themselves.
want my monument to be the churches
I build--structures to which people
may go and find solace and better
ment."
Mr.. Given was born January IL.
1886, at Andrews Bridge, Pa. His

full from the start.
When the Civil War started ne en-

the war he resumed his business as o
contractor.
Since that day, Mr.. Givcn's hunting
trips extended to almost every part Of
the North American continent. lie
was known from Arizona to Oregon.
Mr.. Given built the Baptist Temple
here at Broad and Berks streets. and
other important church structures.
When the Rev. DR.. Russell II. Con.
we'll, pastor Of the Baptist Temple,
learned of his death he put, aside the
sermon he had prepared for the services
last Sunday morning and spoke. of the
life and character Of Mr.. Given. The
two were warm friends.
One of the notable achievements OF
Mr.. Given in church building was the
construction Of the First Presbyterian
Church in Pittsburgh.
Mr.. Given also built churches in Will
kInburg and in many other cities and
towns.
Mr.. Given is survived by two chill
drcn, DR.. Given and Miss $. Ella Given.
His wife died about ten years ago.
lie was the eldest of eight children.
His youngest brother, Henry G.. Given,

BRIDEGROOM'S STRATEGY

stroke Of finesse was successfully per.

when he and Miss Anna Saunders, of
this city. were married n few days ago.
The incipient groom and his imminent
bride were visiting the formers par
ents in the old homestead at Colling,
dale. When the time came for Miss
Saunders to leave for Darby, where she
could get n car for Philadelphia. the
senior Mr.. Murphy was persuaded TO
accompany the pair.
All unsuspccting. he journeycd to
Darby with them, and received his first
intimation Of the approaching nuptials
when he was piloted to the All Saints
Protestant Episcopal Church, Summit
avenue
Here the Rev. G. A. Rcichsccher was
awaiting. their coming. in accordance
with the wcll-laid plans Of the younger
Mr.. Murphy. The ceremony proceeded
at once. the bridcgroom's father being
too surprised to utter Il word.
He was finally revived sufficiently to
give q hearty. il feeble. blessing.

Augustana athletic followers will

One bright light this year is the

Swedes are collecting enough hits

of ball games.

club emulating Ken Williams bat

one better, by 1arruping three
home runs in succession in the
fourth inning of the game against
Washington. Will wonders never
cease? Or are they just really be-
ginning?

American league has not lost its
western contender against the
Yanks. A prominent baseball man
has made the prediction that the
Yankees will not finish better than
third. He figures that the strong
batting ability of the ST. Louis

with few games to spare, yet it
is early to predict May has scarce
