Jennie MaLlord, the noted proprietress
ofMahogany Hall, was buried yesterday, and the
funeral was attended with all the imposing rites
provided by the ritual of the Catholic Church. St.
Augustine's Catholic Church for colored people,
on Fifteenth street, was the scene of the funeral

set for the ceremony, it was filled to

By curiosity, but there were a large num-

mournerS, or through some genuine interest in the
deceased. The gathering was composed chiefly of
cOlored people, though here and there were knots
ofwhite people, many ofthe females being closely
yelled, in order to avoid recognition. When the
funeral co-tege arrived from the house of the sis
ter of the dead woman, on New Hampshire ave-
nue., there were hundreds of people standing on
the sidewalk in front of the ediice unable to gain
admission. The casket was borne from the hearse
into the church by five colored men, who were
not distinguished by any badges of mourn
ing such as it is customary for pail
bearers to wear. As they entered the main
door with their burden the organist struck I'D a
low, sweet dirge, and the funeral procession filed
down the centre aisle to the altar. The relatives

been leading sinful and dissipated lives to turn
from the paths of wickedness and shame and enter

wholesome advice to those present in most elo-
