LAID AT REST.
Funeral of the Late Miss Fitzpat-
rick From the Cathedral.

The funeral Of Miss Aggie Fitzpat-
rick, whose sudden death at Washing
ton, d. c., on the evening of the 18th
inst. has already been chronicled, took
place yesterday from the family resi-
dence. 273 Dayton avenue. The serv-
ices were held at the cathedral, which
was crowded with the friends of the de-
ceased, atteSting the esteem in which
she was held in the community. Pontif-
ical requiem mass was celebrated by
Rev. J. r. Fitzpatrick, brother of de-
ceased, assisted by Revs. Byrne and
COrbett, as deacon and subdeacon, and
Father Gibbons as master of ceremO-
MES. At the conclusion of the mass,
and after the prayers for the dead had
been recited, Father Stanley spoke a
few words of consolation to the mourn
ers and of advice to the congregation.
In the course of his remarks he said:
81 feel myself unable this morning to
speak the words that such an occasion
calls for. Within the past week death
has visited one of our Christian
its fairest flowers. Only few
full of life and hope and youthful vigor,
In the midst of happiness and JOY she
was called away without SO much as a
moments warning. IT'S an awful thing
to be summoned out of the world with
out time for preparation, but have no
fear in her case that death found her
unprepared. Hers was noble ltfe,
full of piety and self-sacrifice. She
found her greatest jov in doing good,
her greatest happiness in the domestic
quiet of the home circle. The hearts OF
this large congregation go out in sincere
and heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
family. We should learn useful les
son from this sad occurrence, and that
is, be always prepared for death. That
one among us who considers himself
least liable to be touched by death may
be the first called away. 1t is the part
of prudent men to prepare themselves
well by leading truly Christian lives"
