FUNERAL Or MISS RIPPLE.
Reninlns Were Laid nt Ilcst in Dun
more Cemetery.
There Is sorrow when the little child
whose tender hands cling to many
heat t-sti lugs drops Into a slumber
from which no word of anguish enrt
awaken It fotever. There li grief for
the aged, who, with their life-work
ended, lay down the fiaglle threads
wearily for a last, long rest. Hut
sometimes there comes ii day when one
who hns Just stepped Into the happy
land of tomance nnd sunshine and Joy
Is suddenly called to leave It nil and
fair, forth through the gateway of
death Into another rountty whose ob
scurity those who wait neninn may not
yet penetrate, and then for these In
deed the world Is lonely
It whs with such feelings as these
that a throng of friends gathered In
the home of Colonel and Mrs. K. H.
Klpplo yesterday for n sad farewell to
Sue, the darling youngest daughter
of the house, the fair girl, whose brief
eighteen years had so blessed the lives
within range of her sunny lnlluence.
Itobed in white, which had been her
glrll"h choice In happy seasons, lying
In the white casket amid the flowers
she so loved, the tranquil young face
seemed to bear few traces of the
months of suffering.
Flowers were everywhere In the
beautiful loom. A magnificent bas
ket of loses testified to the sympathy
felt b the post office employes for their
chief In his gieat aflllctlon. Close to
the dead girl lay the wreath sent by
her coterie of friends, the Qui Vive
i lub.
They trooped In. the young people
who hail so loved this companion, and
the sorrow they felt was evident. The
old weie there whom her gentle minis
trations had gladdened: the middle-
aged, who wept with those who
mourned.
The llev. Oeorgc I,. Alrlch, pastor of
rjrace Heformed Kplcnpnl church, lead
the set vice for the dead, and concluded
with an address, the theme of which
was fiom .lohn "We would see Jesus
He (the Sphlt) shall testify of
me." He emphasized the thought of
the dead as sleeping only, and that
the Spirit of (lod would biighten
the parage to the grave. He offered
the meat hope of the resurrection of
the body; giving far mote than death
can take away. The thought that re
demption place man back In the glor
ies of Kden I not commensurate with
the 1 1 lit li. for it gives mole than lMen
enr had. since 'hrlt is ilsen, the
first fruits of them that sleep.
He spoke of the lovely life of the
young girl who had gone away and of
the beauty and grace of such a life
sweetened thus by her faith, nnd he
urged her young friends to follow the
light as she saw it, not meiely to die by
In a peaceful end, but to live by, blessed
nnd blessing others.

NO RELEASES SIGNED.
Ordinance Providing for Grading of
Streets in Second Ward to Be
Fought in Select Council.
There's going tn be a tight made
In select council against the tlnal pas-sage
of an ordinance providing for the
grading of cettnln Mrects In the Sec
ond ward, whlih passed third rending
in common intinvil on Thuisday night.
The ordinaiue In question provides
for the guiding of McDonougii ave
nue from Cayuga to Lnutcl streets,
of Heaumont avenue from Cayuga to
l.auiol streets; of Perry avenue from
Warren to Oak stieets, of Warren
stteet from Hrlck to Bloom avenue; of
Laurel street from I'etry avenue to
McDouough nveniie, and of Oak street
from Htlck avenue to Leggett'w cieek.
Thcie Is about half a mile of road
way in the block above mentioned,
and no one, for a moment, contends
that it does not need grading. The
trouble is that those behind the scheme
have not gone nbiftlt it in the proper
way.
It Is one of the very few grading
ordinances which have ever been pie
sentcd to councils, without n iclense
fiom damages, signed by all the prop
el ty ownets along the Mieets to be
graded. No televises have been pie
sented for the simple tensnn that the
promoters of the ordinaiue couldn't
begin to git all the pioperty owners
to sign.
The oidlnance piovldes that the cost
of grading shall be assessed against
the abutting pioperty ovvnoi. "accord
ing to benefits." This, it Is. contended
by those favoring the ordinance, an
swers the same piuposo us a release.
The man who might be damaged' by
the gliding would not be assessed nt
all nnd the man who might be bene
fitted would lie heavily nssoseed.
The cotincllmen opposing the ordin
ance contend that theie are bound to
be suits for damages where no lelease
litis been signed no matter what way
the cost Is assessed, anil on this
giound the fight against tho mcasuio
Is to bo made.
