During the mass the Right Rev. the

the altar and delivered the following
eulogy: This service is for the memory
OF great King. Every Sovereign has a
| claim to our respect. The late King of
Spain has a claim on our sympathies.
Born on the throne, he was exiled in his
| eleventh year, but recalled by his sub
jects and placed on the throne OF his
ancestors. He was held in high esteem
by the Sovereigns of Europe, and re-
spected by his own people. One quality
| he possessed, which stood out more
prominently than others, was that King
Alfonso was 4 noble Christian. One in
stance, which is fresh in the memory of
| everyone, speaks volumes, and is held
| in high admiration by the whole world
| When his people Were stricken down
with that dread disease the cholera, the
late King, inspired by his Christian
| instincts, was determined to visit among
| the sufferers and render assistance. His
| physicians entreated him not to go, but
fering people, And he went and min
ister0d to their wants, and everywhere
received ovations for his heroic act of
charity, Long live all Kings who have
feeling for the sufferings of their people.
His Lordship then explained at consid-
cradle length the meaning of requiem
mass
The entire service throughout was
grand and inspiring, and was concluded
| about twenty minutes past II o'clock
