Three Ministers and Six Funeral Services. Albert Boss Is Laid Away With Pomp and Circumstance. The funeral procession of Albert Boss of 1046 Noble Court, a colored man who had been a member of six fraternal organizations, passed through the principal downtown streets Sunday afternoon on its way to and from the Allan temple, attracting great attention on account of its length and the elaborate display of uniforms. The cortege was headed by a brass band playing funeral marches. Back of the band marched the colored Masons, Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, Knights of Tabor and the True Reformers. A dozen carriages brought up the rear. At the cemetery three ministers preached funeral sermons, and each of the organizations performed their services for the dead.

Why Don't You. Why don’t you answer your friend’s letter at once? It will have double value if written promptly and will take no more time now than by and by. Why don’t you make the promised visit to that invalid? She is looking for you day after day and “hope deferred makes the heart sick.” Why don’t you send away that little gift you’ve been planning to send? Mere kind intentions never accomplish any good. Why don’t you speak out the encouraging words that you have in your thoughts? Unless you express them they are of no use to others. Why don’t you try to share the burden of that sorrowful one who works beside you? Is it because you are growing selfish? Why don’t you take more pains to be self-sacrificing and loving in the everyday home life? Time is rapidly passing. Your dear ones will not be with you always. Why don’t you create around you an atmosphere of hapiness (sic) and helpfulness so that all who come in touch with you may be made better? Is not this possible? – Class Mate. Dr. Baehr Was Shot. Dr. Edward W. Baehr, physician for the Robinson circus and a son of L. K.

FATAL HURTS RECEIVED IN FALL FROM INCLINE. EYE WAS TORN OUT. Walter Chaney Fell from Water Works Incline. Skull Was Fractures and Other Serious Injuries Received. Carried to His Home by Friends, It is Feared He Will Not Recover. Walter Chaney, a nineteen-year-old boy of 2458 Columbia avenue, will probably die from the effect of injuries receiving in a fall at the Western pumpin station of the Cincinnati Water-works on TOrrence road, Sunday afternoon Young Chaney was playing on the incline in the rear of the water-works, an elevated structure used for hoisting coal to the engines. In some manner his foot slipped or else he did not pay attention to his footing and stepped through the space between the ties of the incline. He fell to the hillside below, a distance of thirty or more feet, and alighted upon his head. He was unconscious when picked up by friends and carried to the top of the bank. Dr. A. E. GILLETTE was called and administered such relief as possible. Chaney's right eye was forced from its socket, the right frontal bone was crushed and the scalp on the right side torn so that 20 stitches were needed. He was also badly bruised all over the body.

FOREMEN HAD PICKETS OUT. Why some Soapmakers Did Not Join Union Sunday. Despite the fact that foremen allegedly representing the employers conducted a system of espionage that made many men turn back, the soap workers were formally organized at a meeting held at Workmen’s hall Sunday, under the direction of Frank Rist. Eighty-two memberrs pledged themselves about one-quarter being of the fair sex. It was estimated that fully 200 men who left their homes with the express purpose of joining the union were scared by the appearance of their foremen at points of vantage near the hall. Every side street was picketed. Thirteenth, Mercer and Allison streets where they touched Walnut street were crowded with a know of men, who caused many would be unionists to falter. One forman stated openly that he would discharge every man that went into the hall.

*Man Arrested in East Known in Cincinnati.* Police Believe Graham Had Escapades in Queen City. “I cleaned up Cincinnati good and proper,” was the declaration of a man named Edward Graham, who has just been arrested in New York for forgery. The Cincinnati police are of the opinion that the prisoner is the same young fellow who created somewhat of a sensation here over a year ago by his escapades and who gave the name of Edward Simpson. He claimed to be a rich corporation lawyer and walked the streets in January wearing a light suit of clothes and a straw hat, which failed to shelter what the police believe to have been an unbalanced mind. He ran up a wine bill of several hundred dollars and put the finishing touches to his erratic career in the Queen City by swooping down upon a resort and carrying away a girl to the marriage altar. The police believe that the man now under arrest was held before on charges of forgery and that being a lawyer he defended himself and was dismissed on three counts and pleaded guilty to a fourth. He forged the names of wealthy people to checks and then passed them on their grocers.
