Funeral of Harry R. Jackson. ^
The final^scene in the lamentable
death of young Harry R. Jackson,
was the impressive funeral services
at the Methodist Episcopal church
on   Saturday afternoon.     A  very
large audience of mourners gathered in the sanctuary and the services
were conducted by the Rev. Apple-
ton  Bash.    Many beautiful floral
tributes represented the regard of
friends.   Addresses were made by
Rev. Bash and by the Rev.  J.  J.
Hill, a former pastor of the church
and  a very   close friend of -the
family, he   having been   a   great
comfort to Harry during his prolonged illness^some five years ago.
He spoke   of  his "good  Ghristian
character, his  lovable   disposition
and his kindness to his mother, and
how comforting it was to know that
he had gone to be with his Maker.
Impressive indeed was the silence,
of the throng and the eloquence of
the speakers.   The loved remains
were    taken    to   the    Sewickley
cemetery where, amid evergreens
and flowers they were lowered to
their last resting place.   The pallbearers were Messrs. Milton Luty,
Jr.,   Anson Hill,   Walter Kunkle,
Mansell   Griffith,  Ralph Kimball,
and Arthur Warner.   The impress-
iveness   was   deepened   by   the
melody which floated through the
church.   It was supplied by Prof.
F. A.   Albrecht,   organist;   Miss
Mable Shaw, Soprano; Miss Margaret Ritchey, Gontralto; Mr. M. N.
Luty, Sr., tenor; Mf. Paul J. Quinn,
bass.   The selections included the
noble hymns "Lead Kindly Light"
and "Jesus,  Lover of My Soul."
The deceased had   played   these
hymns the day before his death.
Didn't Like Circus Life
Homer Thompson and Joe Henderson,
two young fellows who said their home*
were in Canonsburg, came to town with
the circus the other day, but decided that
circus life was too strenuous for them
and they left the show. The lads had
no money and they appealed to Chief
Roach who gave them lodging in the
"Annex" and sent them home to mother
in the morning.
