their skill. The male euartette of vocaiists,

reading with illustrations painted for the

4 Rare Tale Of Priestly Brutality,

The following is published in the Chicago
Times, July II, AS a special dispatch from
Battle Greek. Michigan:
Last week Mrs. E. Hafity, poor irish
woman residing in this city, died after a
severe sickness, and because she had been
unable to pay the assessment made against
her for the support Of the Catholic church,
the priest refused to otficiate at her funeral.
He made q proposition TO her daughters
that if they would pay him Sc and give him
the youngest boy for servant he would
permit them to take the body into the
church. and would give them one candle to
burn. This they could not do. The funeral,
unattended by priest or minister, took place
at their home on Fremont street, and owing
to the sympathy. which the facts in the case
had aroused among the neighbors, was at
the city. The eldest daughter otficiated at
her own mothers funeral, and, standing at
the head of the coffin, read the Catholic
funeral service in a voice trembling with
emotion, at the conclusion Of which her
feelings Overcame her, and bursting into
tears she gave vent to her sorrow in sobs
and agonizing cries. There was not single
inmate of the room but what became go
affected at the singularly sorrowful scene
that they shed tears in profusion. Sadly
the coffin was carried to the hearse, and the
procession, consisting. of just one carriage,
containing the mourners, was formed and
slowly proceeded to Oak Hill cemetery,
where the remains OF one who in life was
so dear to them we're deposited in the silent
tomb, without having the ceremony per-
formed by the priest which every devout
Catholic at death hopes for.
