Death of u Sister OF Mercy.


The city eG Ottawa has, within the last few
DAYS witnessed d scene which shall long live in
,he memory Of those whose hope and love fol-
low their dear ones beyond the grave. Death,
sad as il must ever be TO the survivors, is bright
and blissful TO her whose lie vas all for God and
who sinks to rest in His loving arms, closin.,
her eyes to tno Z nmering OF poor earth to op-
en- them n '.g glory OF Heaven.
Mo-. Mary Francis Xavier NJ ctiirr died on
Tuesday HOrninS, the ID inst, at Mercy llospi-
tai, Chicago, whe~e she had gone for medical
treatment. Failing rapidly and unexpectedly,
she was unable to return to die, she go ardent
ly desired, in the bosom OF her beloved commun-
ity and among her sincere friends the people Of
Ottawa Her precious remains were brought
home by her devoted sisters; and on Thursday
were borne to their resting place in the Catholic
cemetery. 4 solemn Office for the dead, follow
ed by a Requiem High Mass, was previously ccle-
brated in st. Columbus Church. The clergy
men present were, Eev. p. \. Terry, Rev D..
Rordan, Rev. Father Noonan, Rev. NJ Byrne,
Rev, Father Eberhard, Rev Father DUnfry, Rev.
Father Haphcy, Rev. Father OConucr, Rev.
Father McDonough and Rev Father Gray. The
High Mass was sung by Rev Father Byrne, Faith
crs O'Connor and Highly, deacon and sub-deacon.
Rev. Father Dunfry preached short but impress.
siyc serIaon, urging the audience TO profit by the
bright example of the departed reigieuse, in or
der to inherit the crown Of glory which is the re-
compcnse OF the good and faithful servant.
The bere0vcd community and a numerous
crowd of the citizens, accompanied the beloved
remains to the graveyard. Nothing could cx-
ceed the kindness and devotion manifested by
the people OF Ottawa on the occasion; no mark
of respect that the most heartfelt sympathy and
unfegncd friendship could suggest was want
ing on the part Of the noble.h congrcga-
tion. The coffin was carried the entire distance
by the gentlemen, who absolutely refused to al
low it to be placed in the hcarse. Rev y Terry,
who, for seventeen years has been the kimdest
of fathers and the constant friend and benefac-
tor to the Sisters of Mercy, surpassed himself as
it were, in order to show love and respect to the
memory of his departed child. He accompanied
the coffin on foot, notwithstanding the rain and
consequent exposure to his health.
Mother NJ Xavier was born in youngstown,
Penn, IN 1S2S Her father was DR.. ?. McGirr, IA
well-known physician in Chicago some years
ago. He and her pious brother were noted for
their moral and christian virtues, which seem to
have descended as an heirloom to the children.
She was the first superior Of the Convent of
Mercy in this city, founded about seventeen
years ago. She is also the first of the commun-
ity who has been summoned to enjoy the reward
promised by the Spouse OF her soul to those who
devote their lives to the service of His poor and
afflicted members.
We may hope that she will in:erccde before
the Throne Of God to obtain special blessings
for her devoted community and the people of
Ottawa. RcquicScdt IL pare

HOME MATTERS.
THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
A Big Time "A.Comin'."

About the most enthusiastic meeting ever
held here on the subject of celebrating the
Fourth was the meeting at the Court House on
last Saturday evening, in response to the can oi
many citizens, Thorough the city press, dodgers
drums and flies, Bach's band and fire crackers,
for all conspired to bring out crowd. Inc
court room was by far inadequate to hold all tnc
people and many turned away.
Mr.. T. +. Bull WAS made chairman ana u ~
Trimblc Secretary After some music ny Bachs
band, Mr.. Chas. Blanchard suggested the ap-
pointment Of Il committee to start things.
Mr. l.. A. Rising moved that the chair appoint
a committee of FIVE, to name committee OF
forty to make arrangements The chair then
anpointed L. A. Rising, Chas. Blanchard, Henry
Mayo, w. E. Bowman and II. Wather such com
mittee.
While these gentleman were making up their
committee of forty, short, appropriate and pa
triotic speeches were made by Capt. Thompson,
and Messrs. White, Ebersol, Trimbe, Smith,
Allen and Russell.
The committee of five then reported the fol-
lowing committee of forty, which was adopted;
A, Lynch, Chairman; Z. c. Allen, Jno f. Me.

y. Cash, Thco Horn, Henry Wolf, Il. F. Dyer, G.
II. Hook, L, Perkins, B. B. Griffith, VIM Carey
and Dr. Petit
The secretary was then instructed to furnish
Mr.. Lynch with list of his committee, 10 mem
bers of which to form quorum, and the meet
ing adjourned with grand "hurrah'
The fact of big celebration is therefore set
tied. The management was never in better
hands and there is no danger OF its running
into catch.peRny affair AS has been the case
too often. The managers are business and pro
fessional men of the best standing, and mean
business They mean to make this the most
elaborate and successful celebration Of the
Fourth ever held in the county, and to include
the entire country in the affair and they desire the
cooperation Of our neighbOrs interested IN the
matter to make it such. The plans have not yet
been arranged, but an interesting programme
may he Guaranteed.

Fox River Dam.

This daia swindle on the people of Ottawa,
which escapes deserved abjurgation only
by the meager catalogue of dam words, has been
partially repaired,-uo ot course, by the parties
who own il, but by the owners Of the paper mill
who are not quite willing yet to suspend oper-
ations by dam site, as the Nanufacturing(o
Co. apparently wish to have them.
The repairs consist Of a structure built like a
bridge. 1t Is long enough to lap the sides OF
the break; in width, the height Of the dam.
Standing as built it is perfect bridge without Il
floor. This was drawn across the crevasse and
thrown over its sides across the break aad then
covered with heavy siding, forming Golfer dam,
and raising the water sufficiently to supply the
mill. This piece of work cost them upwards Of
$500, we are told, and will stand till the next
frcshet brings down enough material TO break
it down, when in all probability the remainder
Of the original dam will go with it, and the
paper mill will be compelled to close for good SIC
transit gloria of the Ottawa Manufacturing Com
pany, which was TO make Ottawa the Manufac-
turing center of America,-the queen city of
the Mississippi valley,-but which has since
proved 10 be the biggest dam swindle ever per

On last Tuesday evening the ladies of the
Episcopal church gave one Of their pleasant So
ciables at the Clifton which was well attended,
and which proved highly enjoyable. This is, we
hope, the beginning of a series of these enter
tertainments to last during the summer, We
know how pleasant they were last summer.
Something Of the kind is needed during the
warmer months TO keep US from stagaation in
social matters, and these entertainments have
proved in the past just the thing; and, We have
ne doubt if they are sufficiently successful pc
cuniarily the ladies will continue them through
the coming summer.
On Thursday evening, May 18th, they will give
Calico Sociable at the Clifton, which we can
promise will be enjoyable. The ladies will APP
pear III calico and the gents as their tastes die
tate.
