HE TOLD THE TRUTH. Report of Pew and Ushers’ Committee Nearly Caused a Riot. (United Press Service) Toledo, Ohio, May 10 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The meeting of the congregation of the Trinity Episcopal church, Toledo’s most fashionable house of worship, almost broke up in a riot when the report of Harry Crandall, chairman of the pew and ushers’ committee, was read. Here is Crandall’s report in part; “Answered 108 foolish questions." “Took care of two booze fighters, who were noisy. “Kept five sleepers awake during a dry sermon. “Entertained about 12 dozen restless, wiggling babies. “Told 500 good stories to prospective joiners, to hold ’em. “Took up collections and turned In every cent, including ten cents found on the floor that should have been ours by right. But ’thou shalt not steal’ rubbed itself in on us. “Notified one woman her shirtwaist was not buttoned up the back and was told to 'mind our own business.' Never again! “Refused two invitations to go out and get a drink while on duty. “Cash on hand—nothing doing." o CONTINUED KL-rw PaOE one

THE DEATH TOLL — jnup<J tram Wskj of the Shakespeare club with whom she has met. A brother, Colonel William H. Irwin, died in Florida two months ago, and she was the last of the family, except for two nieces and a nephew. The funeral was held last Thursday. She was onelof the oldest members of the First Presbyterian church at Wheeling and continued her church activities until infirmity rendered her attendance impossible. Death a Relief. Coming as a great relief, were tho summons of the death angel, which were obeyed by John W. Parr of North Ninth street when he passed from this world to the great beyond Sunday morning at 6 o’clock. Mr. Parr has been a sufferer for the past seven weeks from abscess of the lungs and while everything was done for him that loving hands could do it was all for naught and his passing to the home that knows no suffering was a ! great relief. John W. Parr was born iin Logan county. Ohio, October 21, |IBSO, being at the time of his death, [62 years and 7 months old. On November 9, 1879, he was united in marriage to Emma Eliabeth Burr of Auglaize county, Ohio. They moved to Adams county in 1881 to a farm owned by Mr. Parr and a few years la- ■ ter moved to this city, where he followed the trade of bridge carpenter. Those surviving to mourn the loss of the kind and loving father besides the wife are one daughter, Laurine; and three sons, Fred, Harry and James, of this city, and one son, W. F. Parr, of Blackfoot, Idaho. Also one brother, J. Parr, of Auglaize county, Ohio, and one half-brother, William Baggs, of Auglaize county. One sister, Mrs. Mary Nepper, has preceded Mr. Parkin death.

The funeral will fee held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the Methodist church and will be in charge of Rev. Stephenson. Interment will be made at the Maplewood cemetery. Joe Geenen Dead. The sad news of the death of Joe Geenen reached friends in this city Saturday afternoon and came as a great shock to them. Mr. Geener. underwent an operation last Thursday evening at the Lutheran hospital. Fort Wayne, for relief from a severe case of appendicitis, the results of which caused his death Saturday. Joe Geeneen, born in Antwerp, Belgium, was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Geenen, one of the wealthiest and most well-to-do families in that part of the country, 'the father being rated as a millionaire. His father is the owner of a large bakery establishment in that city. Three years ago Joe came to this country with John M. Frisinger when the latter imported a cargo of the famous Belgium horses for his stock farm in this I city. He worked at the Frisinger farm about two years and then went to Fort Wayne, where he was employed In the Fort Wayne Knitting mills. It was while working at this place that a number of boxes fell on him, injuring him slightly, and also where he had the first slight attack of appendicitis. A cablegram was received in reply to the one Mr. Frisinger sent his parents Informing them of the death of their son, they stating that he should be buried in America. The purpose for which Joe. Geenen came to this country was that he might learn the English language and the ways and customs of this ednntry. At the time of his death he could speak the English language as good as an American born citizen, he being a very bright and intelligent boy. He was twenty years of age last February. His remains are now at the undertaking parlors of Klachn & Melching at 221-223 East Washington street, Fort i Wayne, and from which place they may be viewed by friends. The funer-

al services will be at 8:30 o’clock Tuesday morning from the undertaking parlors and at 9 o’clock services will be held at the Precious Blood Catholic church. Burial will be made in the Catholic cemetery. He is survived by six sisters, two of whom are married, and his father and mother. Mr, and Mrs. M. A. Frisinger, Messrs. C. A. i Dugan, O. L. Vance, D. M. Hensley and others will go to Fort Wayne tomorrow to attend the funeral. Death of George Sproul. After an illness of thirty-five years from Bright’s disease, being bedfast the past four weeks, George Alexander Sproul, aged forty-nine years, died this morning at 7 o'clock at his home on ( Nuttman street. He was born in Van Wert county, Ohio, February 4, 1861, and lived there until six years ago, when he went to Marshall county, and then came here a year ago. His wife, formerly Eliza J. Llntermoot, to whom he was married November 17, twentyi six years ago, survives. Os their three children, one daughter is living. She | is Bessie, wife of Jacob J.
