Mrs. Brewer was born in Cornwall, England. She has resided in Mamaroneck for the past forty years, and had drawn about her a large circle of close friends. The death of Mrs. Brewer removes from the community one of its most loved and most respected women.

While looking upon her home as her most sacred trust and devoting her life and energy in making it an ideal home still she found time to do much good outside her own home. All her many acts of kindness and charity were performed quietly, unostentatiously, with the true spirit of loving Christian character. As a neighbor and friend, her loss is sincerely mourned. In her home, she leaves a void that can never be filled. To the bereaved husband, upon whom the blow has fallen with unusual to the only son, Reuben G.

Brewer, is extended the heartfelt sympathy of the community. Funeral services were held at the late home of the deceased on Tuesday. Rev. Allan MacRossie, pastor of the Methodist church, of which the deceased was a member, officiated. The remains were interred at Rye Union cemetery.

The pall bearers were Elias R. Purdy, Thomas C. Palmer, William H. Boyd, William H. Halsted, William D.

Palmer and George W. Haight. Trip to Norway. A party of Mamaroneckers went to Norway via stereopticon on Thursday evening at St. Thomas parish hall.

The lecture was the first of a series of illustrated lectures. The subject was "Norway, the Land of the Midnight Sun," and the lecturer was Rev. C. C. Tiffany, D.

of New York city. The audience was small but appreciative. The lecture was instructive and entertaining and proved very enjoyable. The lecturer began with a short description of Christiania in the southern part of Norway and then described a few of the cities up the coast to Hammerfest, the northernmost settlement on the earth. Dr.

Tiffany's description of the scenery, the customs of the people, the buildings, the towns and the midnight sun, were delivered in a style of his own, at times humorous and at times narrative, but were very clearly and vividly portrayed. The views of the fiords and mountains, the lakes and waterfalls, the costumes and customs of the people were very interesting. Among the views presented were the following: Map of Norway, horse and cariole, costumes, fiords and mountains, cathedral of Trondbjem exterior and interior-shore scenes, natives curing fish, Lofoden islands, Laplanders and reindeer, Hammerfest, North cape, glaciers, Rodal and roadway leading to it, and ancient Norwegian church. Notice to Hackmen. The agitation of the hackmen nuisance at the depot has resulted in the following notices from Superintendent 0.

M. Shepard: Hackmen and drivers of express wagons and other public conveyances are hereby prohibited from entering upon any part of the premises of this company in the prosecution of their business except to leave pas-engers and baggage at the station platforms and to take the same when called. They are prohibited from standing their vehicles or soliciting passengers south of a line parallel with and twentyfeet distant southerly from the south line of the platform on the south side of the bridge. Station Agent Kane served a copy of this notice upon each of the hackmen, and posted copies in conspicuous places about the depot. The hackmen seem inclined to be rebellious, and with a few exceptions refused to comply with the notice.

Agent Kane says the notice will be strictly enforced, and hackmen who violate the conditions will be summarily dealt with. A refusal to comply may be expensivo for some of the hack men. Epiphany Choral Festival. An Epiphany choral festival will be the special order of service at St. Thomas church to-morrow evening at 8 o'clock.

The regular choir will be assisted by Mrs. Grace C. Van Syckel, of White Plains, soprano; W. Gowing. alto; Charles Hicks, tenor; Hermann Greinert, bass, of Trinity Chapel, New York city.

Following is the order of service: Processional, "There is Sound of Rejoicing" Draper Psalter, Isalm Ixxii, Plain Magnificat and Nune Dimittis in Gilbert unto the Travers "Lord at all Hymn No. 36...

The week of prayer has been observed In the Methodist church during the past week. All the services have been well attended and have proven very interesting. On Tuesday evening the meeting was led by Dr. Wilson, who took for his subject, "The Work of the Holy Spirit." The subject at Wednesday evening's service was, 'Am I My Brother's Keeper Dr. Baker was present Thursday evening.

His subject was "Power from God." The Friday evening service was in the nature of an old-fashioned prayer meeting and praise service, led by the Summerfield praying band of Port Chester. The last of the series of services will be held to-morrow evening and will be of particular interest. The regular service will be preceded by a praise service. TOWN MATTERS. Meetings of the Board of Health and Town Board.

A regular meeting of the Mamaroneck board of health was held Monday evening. Present Supervisor Baxter, Justices Boyd, McLoughlin and Perrin, Town Clerk Fairchild and Dr. John F. Hunter, physician. The minutes of the last meeting were read.

The clerk reported that he could not find the minutes of the meeting held Nov. 13. The committee on repairs to the town hall reported progress. The clerk reported that a complaint had been made to him of a nuisance caused by surface water on a lot on Mamaroneck avenue owned by Peter H. Spader.

Discussion brought out the fact that the nuisance also existed on the lot owned by William Moore, adjoining Mr. Spader. The clerk was instructed to notify Messrs. Spader and Moore to abate the nuisance. The clerk reported that the book ON health laws which he was directed to purchase several months ago, had not yet al'rived, but had been ordered.

Dr. Hunter reported that there were several cases of chicken pox in the town. This is a contagious disease and he thought parents or guardians should not allow children who had been ill with the disease to attend school until a physician's certificate that all danger of contagion has passed was obtained, and also that other children in families where the disease existed should be detained at home. The board thought it the duty of the principal of the school to refuse admission to children where there was the slightest suspicion of contagious disease. The report of the physician that there were several cases of chicken pox in the town brought out the fact that a not single case had been reported to the clerk of the board of health.

The clerk was instructed to notify physicians that they must comply with the law respecting the reporting of contagious diseases. Justice Perrin asked for information regarding the water supply question. The investigation and subsequent action of the board were reviewed for his benefit. It was believed that the most serious nuisances discovered had been abated. The water now being supplied by the company had been analyzed and found up to if not above the standard.

It was thought, however, that it would be well to go over the course of the streams again before warm weather. The meeting then adjourned. TOWN BOARD MEETING. Immediately after adjournment as a board of health a meeting of the town board was called to order. Minutes of previous meeting read and approved.

The complaint of Adam G. Coles that surface water overflowed the sidewalk in front of his property, which was referred to Road Commissioner Anthes at the last meeting, was taken up. Commissioner Anthes quoted from the highway manual as follows: "Highway commissioners are not bound in grading a highway to provide a channel for the drainage of surface water, and the town is not liable for injuries resulting from their omission to do so. But if by such grading surface water is collected and discharged at it different place from its natural course, if any, the town will be liable for damages therefrom." It was decided that the surface water was diverted from its natural course by reason of the obstruction of the gutter in front of the property of Michael Cronin and Thomas J. Coles.

Road Commissioner Anthes will clear the gutter and see that it is kept clear. Supervisor Baxter raised the question of rates for wharfage at the town dock. The dock was now in proper shape for the unloading of barges or vessels. A rate should be fixed for wharfage and some one should be appointed to take charge of the dock. Capt.

Thomas Lynch had already made application for the lauding of cargoes from barges. The supervisor was, 011 motion, anthorized to draw up a schedule of rates of charges, and to appoint some one to take charge of the dock. The following resolution was also adopted: Resolved, That there be levied and assessed upon the taxable property of the town of Mamaroneck, outside the incorporated limits Larchmont, and collected, the sum of $1,393.50 to pay the following bills: S. J. Stilwell, for professional services and $1,193.50 J.

F. Fairchild, civil 200.00 81,393 50 On motion of Justice Perrin, the janitor of the town hall was instructed to have the hall heated properly on the first Monday evening of each month for meetings of the hook and ladder company. Justice Perrin brought up the question of encroachment of the store house owned by William Purdy on town dock property. It was decided that this be referred to the trustees of public lands. The supervisor was instructed to call a joint meeting of the town board, highway commissioner and trustees of public lands for Monday, Jan.

15. In matter of grading sidewalk on Post Road from Mt. Pleasant street to school, referred to Road Commissioner Anthes at the last meeting, Mr. Anthes reported that the walk could be graded for $200 and bluestoned for $500 additional. It would be necessary to remove a pump which stood in the middle of the walk.

It was thought it would be much better to lay cross walks at Mt. Pleasant street, Rockland and Grand Park avenues, and to leave the laying of walks to the propertyowners. No definite action was taken. The meeting then adjourned. Lawyer: "Are you a single man?" Witness: "No, sor, Oi am a twin." Mrn Goods, Etc.
