~, LIE and Death.
The fungtnl Of Maud Shepard, who was
burned 70 death at Viola De Forests house
in alley sixteen last Thursday night took
plhee Saturday afternoon, the services being
;.held :Ot Mendel'S. undertaking rooms ON |
Twelfth street, Rev, Samuel Steele and Rev,
Geo. E. Hite conducted the services by re.
quest Of the girls friends here. Mr., Steele
made most pathetic prayer, those present
kneelingon the floor. Only two persons Of
the dead ones own sex were present the
landlady Of the house in which she died and |
another inmate These two seemed greatly
affected by the prayer, and wept upfeigned
tears when the minister alluded to the man
ner Of life the poor girl led.
Mr.. Hite delivered the discourse, the
crowd In the room and about the door in'
creasing largely Us he progressed. He spoke
most impressively Of the shocking sudden
ness Of the girls death, Of her life Of sin, and
Of the pure girlhood from which she had
fallen. He referred to the heaFt-hroken
mother who had watched over her and loved
her In infancy, and painted wildly the
scene at her childhOOd's home when the
news OF her death reached 1t. He addressed
himself TO the dead girls sisters In sin, who
when he recalled TO their minds their lives
before they yielded to the Establishments Of
the tempter, gave way to uncomfortable
grief, and shook with conyulsiye, sohs, The
speaker then saldh would that the men who
sinnGd with these women were like them,
banned from society, and summed us they
are, And In the eyes Of the Searcher Of
Hearts they do stand upon an equality, and
the record in the Book Of Life set Opposite
thu, names OF these womens partners in
guilt, IRE as black as those OF the women
themselves, lie ex0Tted the weeping women
to torsako their evil lives while they could,
taking warning from Maud shepard's awful
tate.
The body In Us plain, caskCt Of rosewood,
was then placed in the hearse, and the min'
listers and the two erring women followed 1t
TO tho lonely grave where additional reltg'
ious exercises were held before the inanimate
clay was consigned to Us mother earth.
