the best class of patients in this sec
tion. But notwithstanding this, he
never refused a call for fear that his
fee would not be forthcoming, and
the poor as well as the worthy, ere
the recipients of the benefits of his
skill. Had he been a good collector,
and had he received fees for one-half
of his practice, tie would nave died a
rich man. tie was a man 01 literary
tastes, a great reader, and conse
quently, well informed on all subject.
He had a keen sense of humor, and
many of his quiet witticisms Stave
been related over and over by those
who heard them, but they do
not grow old or stale, because of their
bright humor. Since his retirement
from active practice he has been
missed by many, some of whom he
had attended for more than a genera
tion. Profound sorrow is felt by the
entire community at the manner of
his death, and members of his family
have the sympathy of a wide circle
of friends.

the Normal School team before a
large and noisy crowd in the gymna

what might be termed a beauty. The
play from beginning to end was clean
and sharp. While the result was not
very decisive, still it was a victory
just the same, and one that was well
earned. This was the first game of
the series between the two teams.

whom he and his parents, Mr. and

for the past three months. The
young man had been a victim of the
dreaded lung disease for about six
months. Early in August he took a
heavy cold, and being of a weak con
stitution, the disease settled on his
lungs. The deceased was a quiet,
inoffensive young man and generally
admired. He learned the barber
trade and as long as his health would
permit, worked at it, being at one
time in the employ of James McEwen.
He was in the nineteenth year of his
age.
The funeral was held yesterday at
half past nine o'clock. Services were
conducted at the house by Rev. G.

$2,000 had been provided for before
the dedication on Jan. 6th. The
morning of dedication $3,500 were
asked for and the amount raised was
$2,450, leaving about $1,100 which
the Trustees pledged themselves to
see paid. During the week of service
the pastor began to canvas for sub
scriptions, up to Saturday evening
there had been placed on good sub
stantial subscriptions $600 of this
amount unprovided. On Sunday
evening after the pastor finished his
sermon he made a statement of the
amount raised and the amount yet
needed to clear the building of all in
debtedness, $500 yet being the
amount, and before the people went
home they subscribed and paid in cash
and good subscriptions in full round
numbers, $500 clearing all the in
debtedness and putting it in good
shape. The Doxology was sung with
a mighty ring and the great crowd
went home praising God and were
happy. StvlUs.
The Lackawanna Railroad, under
the direct supervision of its dining car
department, has opened a restaurant
and lunch counter in the Hoboken
terminal. For more than four months
carpenters, plumbers, electric light
men, painters and decorators, have
been at work upon these rooms,which
now compare favorably with the best
restaurant plants in the city of New
York. 1 he kitchen has been thor
oughly fitted with the most perfect
modern equipment, and is prepared
to handle, rapidly and thoroughly, the
great variety of dishes which are in
cluded in the menu. Their restau
rant proper is roomy, light and airy,
and its tables are fitted with high
grade China, crystal, silver and linen.
The bill of fare includes that lare
variety of perfectly prepared dishes,
which, within a year, have made for
the Lackawanna Railroad the reputa
tion of giving to the public the best
all-around dining car service in the
United States. The same care, dili
gence and energy, wnicn nave ouiit
up this enviable reputation for the
dining cars, will control the manage
ment of this Hoboken restaurant.
In addition to tne restaurant a large
lunch counter will be maintained in
the Hoboken terminal for the accom
modation of those who desire auicker
service and less elaborate meals. It
is the aim of the management to pro
vide the beat possible meals at the
most reasonable rates, and prices
have been fixed in accordance with
this idea. it
