Church, corner of Broadway and Van Ness
avenue. The girls numbering forty, were
arrayed in spotless white, and flowing wells
and wresths of white lilies. As they
marched in lines to receive the holy unc-
tion, they presented very edifying sight.

Death Of Father Lebel, Of Kalamasoo.-..
On Wednesday evening, March Goth, he
was in his usual health and high spirits.
In his beautiful church the solemn service
of BenedictionTw was that evening performed
and he retired without having complained
of any illness. About one in the morning,
however, he was troubled with slight dis
turbance in the bowels, but nothing seri-
GUS was appreheuded by himself or his neph-
ew and niece, who were both in the house.
Still later in tue morning tabout 81 low
moan was heard to come from his room,
their unspeakable grief found him dead. 1t
was his death groan. He died apparently
without a struggle and with little pain.
Anthony Isadon Lebel was born in Quebec,
March 3, 1917, of French parents. He was
sent to Montreal when twenty years of
age, to complete his education, after
which he entered the priesthood. In
1850, he went to Chicago, and soon after
built Church there. In 1856 he came to
Calamazoo, and entered upon what he, and
all who knew him, may justly consider the
great work of his life, the building up of q
great Catholic Church and parish.-West

uft, Hon. VIM. Lansing Stout. VIM. Ian
sing Stout was o native of the State of New
York, and was born in 1928, thus not yet
having completed the AID year of his life.
He was a lawyer by profession, and has
served the State of Oregon, to which he
its first representative in Congress, where
he was instrumental in introducing many
useful measures for his adopted State.
Previous to shis election to Congress he
served a term as County Judge of Nj ulthoma
County and was in 1868 elected State Sena-
from the same county. But the browning
act of his useful and active life was one
which, though long resolved upon, was yet
deferred from time to time, for reasons
deemed valid in his own mind. 1t was
that of his conversion to the Catholic
Church, which act of grace occurred some
three weeks before his death. His abjura-
ton of the errors of Professionalism was
uttered with such sincerity of faith that
it brought tears to the eyes of those who
witnessed the ceremony and the tears of
joy shed by his amiable and pious wife,
whose darling and long-desired wish had
at last found realization, must indeed have
gladdened the neophyte's heart at that
suspicious moment. Besides the Sacra-
ment of Baptism, administered by Very
j. F. Fierens, v. G., Judge Stout received
those of Penance, the Holy Eucharist and
Extreme JUNCTION, with the most consoling
and edifying ardor and piety, thus being
fully prepared to appear before the dread
tribunal of his Divine Judge. May His
| infinite justice be tempered with as infinite
| mercy is our most earnest Draver
