NORTH SIDE LIBRARY. At will be remembered that Judge Williams decided about a year and a half ago that a dis- tribution of the property belonging to the New- berry estate could be made among the heirs even betore Mrs. Newberry’s death. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, and the decision Was reversed. Anapplication was then made fora rehearing, which is still pending, with no Indication as to what the Court will decide, al- though the fact that the reversal of Judge Will- lams’ decision was unanimous would seem to de against the probability of the rehearing being ranted. In case the decision of the Supreme Court stands as final, nothing can be done in the Ray of a d:stribution of the property until Mrs. Newnerry’s death. Tae Taiwenz has no desire to anticipate that e¥ent, and would not refer to the subject but for the fact that there bas been some talk of lete in regard to an allezed intention to devote the square bounded by Clark, Oak, Dear- born avente, and LaFayette Place to the use of the future library, provided for in the Newberry Will, In view of the unlikelihood of the Su- Preme Court's reversing its decision: of the im- Probability of Mrs. Newberry’s taking-off for Several years yet, seeing that she is in the en- Joyment of perfect bealth, and every prospect of attaining a good old age; and of the fact that the square aliuded to, and known as the Block on which stands the Ogden mansion is Dot actually in the possession of the Newberry estate, altliough it has a $75,000: mortgage on it—in view of all this, the contingency {s very temoteindecd.

CEE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY. MARCH 23, 1879-SIXTEEN PAGES. DUST TO DUST. Funeral of the Rey. James De Koven, at Racine. The Impressive Services in the Chapel and at the Grave. Tho Profasion of Flowers---Clereymen and Laymen in Attendance. ‘The body of the late Rev. James DeKoven, D. D., Warden of Racine Episcopal College, at Rucine, Wie., was laid to rest yesterday noon within the grassy plot that borders the little College chapel, and uuder the suadows of the in- sutution of learning which he helped to vro- note, and which stands a lasting record of his unilagging devotion to and zeal in church work. ‘The sudden death and the life Iabor of this disciple have been fully set forth, and it now re- mains to record the unostentatious ceremonies attendant upon the obsequics in which loving hearts participated, and devout and dignified fathers of the Church emphasized the im- Pressiveness of the occasiun hy presence and fervent prayers. At the hours of 7,8, and 9 o'clock yesterday forenoon the office of the Holy Communion was celebrated in the College Chapel. These serv- ives were attended by the College students, church people of the City of Racine, together with the local clergy and the reverend gucsts |. from abroad, many of whom had arrived on the |. Previous evening. The celebrants of the first |: Communion weré the Rev. Dr. Falk and the Rev. W. Gould, of Racine College; of the sec- oud Communion, the Rev. Messrs. Converse aud Luther, of the College; of the third Com- munion, the Rt.-Rev. Bishop Welles, of Wiscon- sin, and the Rev. Dr. Ashley, of Milwaukee. ‘The services were unusually impressive, and characterized to a certain degree by those cere- monies which the departed churchman had so long espoused, and which forined so essential a part of his religious convictions. THE CHAPEL wore no sombre hues, its richly-tinted windows Sered their wealth of color upon floor, and wall, and chancel, and, save that the grand oricl window above the communion-table was hidden with purple cloth, which fell as a curtain, hiding window, table, and floor of the chancel down as far as the communion-rail, there was naught to suggest the sad event that had called together 60 many pcople whose eyes were tear-filled and whose hearts were heavy with mourning. Yes, there was one thing besides,—the profusion of Howers. It is seldom that such a display is seen, for that portion of the edifice where the holy offices are performed was literally filled with the most beautiful and fragrant flow- ers that ture ever made. On com- munion-des! and reredos, and _bap- tismal-font,' and reading-desk, and Bish- op’s onair, aud on the walls, and gas: tures, on floor and slips leading to the chancel, —wherever they could be made secure, there were flowers. Flowers white, and purple, and yellow, flowers blue, and yellow, aud white,—the Stately culla, the sensitive camellia, the delicate bouvardia, the fragrant carnation, the perfume laden tuberose,—flowers arranged as pillows, crosses, crowns, shepherd's crooks, sickles. anchors; flowers in vases, iv baskets, in bouquct- holders; flower movograms und letters sym- bolical; white gracefully clinging to gas-fixtures inge i tie festouns from point to point was the deficate smilox, with here and there a sprig of emblematic evergrpen. ‘This display of floral wealth wes something that carried to the heart of every be- holder the fullest measure of the venera- tion in which the deceased priest was held, and emphasized the effort which loying hearts were making to manifest that affection that had developed througn association with and knowl- edge of the eminent quaticies of heart and mind of bim who now lay dead. STRIKINGLY BEAUTIFUL, amongst all this gathering of rare and fragrant flowers, was a cross which was the gift of the Chicago alumni of Racine College. It was placed on the right of the chancel floor, and, rising over five feet, it overtopped the reading- desk, immediately in front of which it stood. It was Composed of white tlowers,—tuberoses and camellias,—relieved at certain points with pur- ple, and blue, and licht. yeltow. Pierced by the upper end of the upright section was a crown, and, resting upon.the basa ard reclining against the main standard, an anchor. Upon ihe base, in purple, was the following from the ancient prayer for the dead, ‘ Graut, O Lord, Eternal Rest.” At the left of the chancel, and reclining against the vas standurd, was'a shepherd's crook, of white flowers and a delicate suggestion of green stauding out bere and there. Surmount- ing the baptisinal-font, a crown, encircled by a wreath of cvergreen; above the cbair, a crown; upon the communion-table, flowers, and dowers, und flowers, In the centre of the purale cover- ing, and immediately above the communion- table, stood forth a large white and plain cross, uurelieved dy floral adorument. THE BURIAL SERVICE was fixed for lL o'clock. Promptly at that hour the clergy met and roted in Taylor Hall, one of the College buildings, a few rods from the chapel, and then the procession formed, and walked with measured tread to the church, where thevotlin containin the body had already been taken and placed within the main entrance, ‘The order of the procession wa: Students of the Grammar-School. College students. Clerey. Pall-bearers. Relatives. Members of Facuity not in Orders. College Trast Alumni from various cities. As the processional movement hegan, the choir of students. uttired in robes, bezan singing the 509th selection of the “Church Hymnal,” Paradise, O Paradise, which was continued until the entire body bad entered the church, the choir breaking into two ranks as itreached the entrance, and the re- mainder of the procession entering between. Upon entering the church the clergy proceed- ed tothe chancel and its vicinity, the choir to the seats provided for them, and the various guests to various portions of the edifice, which was by far too small to accommodate all. Bish- op Clarkson, of Nebraska, then took his place in front of the coffin, the pall-bearers ranged three on either side (the coffin being handled hy work- men employed by the college), and immediately in the rear followed the mourners. As the pro- cession moved uo the aisle, Bishop Clarkson be- gan readin: the sentences in the * Office for the Dead,” which were contioued until the chancel was reached and the cofliu deposited therein. ‘The casket was closed, and was covered with a purple pall, bearing a white cross. At the head of the coflin was placed a beautiful floral cross; resting thereon, a crown of flowers; while at the foot, resting on the floor, and reclining against the foot of the coffin, were two Maltese crosses, one surmounting the other. Bishop Talbot, then advancing to the desk, began the readiug of the lesson, from I. Cor- inthians, xv., 20, beginning: = - Bat now is Christ risen from the dead, and be- come the sret fruits of them that slept. With a voice tremulous and faltering the Right Reverend gentleman delivered this por- tion of the office for the dead, and with it was terminated that vortion of the burial service which is observed within the church, There was no Sermon, no address, no music beyond the simple yet beautiful burial chant, “ The Lord is my Shepherd, therefore shall I want nothing,’ wnich the choir sang, with an accom- paniment by the organ, as the recessfonal movement began. This was in the following order: z Pall-Bearers. Treatces. Faculty not in Orders, College Students. Grammar School. Alumni Upon emerging from the vestibule the choir gen singing the 187th bymn, “The Lord is ye Shepherd.” which Was continued until the procession reached the spot prepared for the re- ception of the remains. This is about fitty reet from the main entrance to txe chapel, und be- tween the chapel south wal! ard the walk lead- ing from Parke Hail to the chapel. Gathering close about THE GRAVE, and with heads bared to the chilling winds, which swept across the enow-clad fandscape, the Jast ead rites were becun by Bishop Robertson, of Missouri, who read the eentences beginn! “For ag much as it bas pleased Almichty God in His Providence,” etc. This portion of the ritual was followed by a chant, beginning, “T heard a voice from Heaven, cayiag,”® the music for which was composed by one of the Faculty for this occasion. a Bishop Welles, of Wisconsin, then delivered the committal to the grave. The Rev. Prof. Converse, of the College, cast earth upon the coffin, the Lord's Prayer was recited, and Bishop Talbot, of Indfana, con= cluded the offices os set forth by the church, by offering the prayer, “Almighty Goa, with whom vo live the spirits of those who have died in the Lord,’ etc., when the choir once more chanted ‘Jesus lives; henceforth is death but a gate immortal,” and the solemn and religious rites were over, ‘Then, passing around the open grave, each one plucked a sprig of cedar from huge branches which had béen brought in from the forest, and threw the evergreen memento of affection and symbol of immortality upon the covering. Loving hands also dropped frazrant flowers within, and when all had participated who desired, the box that held the coffin was obscured. The clergy to a certain extent. to- gether with other spectatcrs, then withdrew, while the pall-bearers remained,together with a few of the college choir, and sang hymus until the task of filling the grave with earth had been. completed, when all but the sturdy sexton fell away, and left him alone to complete the fash- ioning of the mound. - And there, no doubt, till “ the day when the trumpet shail sound,” will rest the dust of James De Koven, above whose grave there could be erected no fitter mouument than the college and the chapel, which will throw their shadows across his grayo, aud tell how carnest- ly he labored more fully and practically than could any epitaph that might be written.

The Board of Trustees held a meeting Friday afternoou, all present except Mr. Murphy. ‘A petition from the Northwestern Fertilizing Company was presented astting for the privi- lege of removing material in boxes from the ‘Town of Lake. Referred. ‘The report of the Treasurer, Mr. A. B. Con- dit, was read and referred to a Special Commit- tee, consisting of President Montgomery and Trustees Murrnead, Noian, and Muroby. ‘The Treasurer's anuual report shows that he has received from all. sources during the year $251,144, including a balance of 320,531 on hand as shown by last report. He has disbursed dur- ing the year $236,683, leaving a balance of S1i,- 461 in cash on hand. The total indebtedness of the town, according to the Treasurer's report, ia 509,944, which is a reduction of $65,001 for the fiscal year. The assessed valuation of the town for 1873 was 37,5183.072, the tax levy $118,595, the rate per cent of taxation for the town tax per $100, for 1878, $1.58. Accompaning the Treasurer's report is the report of the expert accountant, Mr. F.W. Russell, who was em- ployed to examine the Treasurer’s books and make out a new set for the three years ending March 31, 1878, The accusations against the Treasurer and the numerous suits commenced against him made it necessary that the books should be gone over and a_ more accurate set made out. Mr, Russell says: “I have examined the books of the Town of Lake, and of Mr. Condit, your Tzeasurer, for the three years extending from April 1, 1875, to March 31, i875, and have rewritten the booxs for the Treasurer, sbowing accurately how he stands {n relation to the town. In doing this tt has been necessary to examine every voucu for which he claims credit, as well as cer copies of the Town and County Collectozs" ac- counts so faras they relate to payments made by those officials to your Treasurer.” After ex- plaining a few trifling errors. be says: "In ctos- ing thie report, I desire to state that J think the gccounts as pow rendered are substantia‘!r cor- rect, showing a balance in the bands of Mr. A. B. Condit, Treasurer of the Tows of Lake, on the 3ist day of March, 1$78, $20,699.22."” ——— CUSTOM-HOUSE NOTES. The 4-per cent subscriptions at the Sub-Treas- ury yesterday amounted to but $900, but the currency disbursements were $65,000.

Of this amount, tsx-paid spirits contributed $7,564, tobacco and cigars $3,139, and beer $1,332, ‘The giant-like dimensions of the notorious Dan Webster thrust themselves Into Commis- sioner Hcyne’s office yesterday afternoon, and ft aopeared that the job about to be undertaken by the swarthy professicnal fn the bail business was togo on the bond of Robert Taylor, the fellow who bas been in jail some time on the charge of having robbed the Post-Oflice at Palatire. ‘The Commissioner, with Dan’s unsavory reputation before his eyes, was pretty suspicious and refused to take the bond presented. Dan will probably try it again Monday, aml if wise, will profit by the lesson received yesterday.

Onr readers will find in to-day’s paper an adver- tisement of the Apollinaris Company, to which we invite their attention. The Apollinaris Company have always sent to this country the purely natural mineral water just as it comes from the Apollinaria Spring, and this only, in the future, as in the pest, will be offered to the American people by the Apol- Unaris Company. The success which the Apolli- nacis water has met with in the United States has made it the object of attacks, as unwarranted as they were unscrupulous, aud the main charge has been that the Apollinaris water, as imported to the United States, is not the water in its natura] state just as it comes from the Avollinaris Spring. If any doubt existe in the mindsof the American peo- pie as to the fact of the water ae offered to them be- ing the genuine article in its purely natural condi- tion, such doubt, we think, must be set at rest by acareful reading of the report of Assistant-Sec- retary French, and the certitieate of that eminent scicatist, Prof. Virchow. of Berlin, both of which are embodied in full in the advertisement to which we call your attention. ze — TO DENVER AND LEADVILLE.

When every other remedy has failed, when physicians have pro- nounced a cure impossible, it has by its power- ful alterative and resolvent properties acting through the blood, and by its healing, balsamic properties actin upon the diseased nasal sur- faces, lifted the afflicted, a3 it were, from the very grave.
