Impressive FHnera1 Services over the
 Remains of Mother Angela.
 All that was mortal of Sister Mary Angela, the late Mother Superior of the St. Francis orphan asylum and formerly the reverend mother of the Sisters of Mercy of the Hart ford diocese, was laid away in St. Bernard's cemetery Saturday morning after impressive funeral services at St. Mary's church. The pallbearers were: Major Thomas A. McManus and James Ahern of Hartford, Dr. M. A. Cremin, Dr. M. c. O'Connor, Patrick Mo Kenna and Dr. Deveraux. The remains were brought to the church from the asylum soon after o'clock. The church was filled to overfowing by mourners. A pontifcal high mass of requiem was celebrated by Bishop McMahon assisted by the Reverend Fathers Russell, McKeon, Edwards, Mulhol- land and Tierney. The Rev. Father Tierney paid beautiful tribute to the deceased, and Bishop McMahon then gave the final absolu- ticn. Only simple sheaf of wheat, indi- cative of the dead woman's simplicity and usefulness in life, relieved the sombreness of the droopings of death. Thirty carriages composed the funeral cortege, and after the customary religious ceremony at the grave the remains of the noble and beloved woman were consigned to their native dust

NOT A SUICIDAL ATTEMPT

But a Case of Smallpox As 1t Is Fearl
 ed-An Excitement at the Franklin
 House Last Night.
 Last night shortly after Il o'clock the police were notified that a man had attempt ed suicide at the Franklin House on Greene street corner Franklin. An ambulance was dispatched to the scene immediately. On It's arrival the driver was notified that it was not a suicidal affair as it was first conjectured, but that the patient was supposed to have the smallpox. As the police ambulance is not allowed to carry smallpox patients the ambulance was driven back to police quar- ters and the almshouse authorities were noti- fled to send and remove the patient to the pest house. Before the police ambulance ar rived at the house Dr. Fleischner, who had been called, attended the patient, who was supposed to be Michael Conway who up to within few days resided on Hamilton street. About 6 o'clock Saturday night Michael Conway enquired at the central police station for his three children, who, it seems, had just been taken to the Organized Charities place on Church street, to which place Conway was directed. The children street by Officer Streit as they needed care which Conway was unable to give. Conway was absent arranging to have them sent to the St. Francis orphan asylum, and when he returned found that his children had been sent to the police station. He went to the charities house and soon had the children placed in the asylum. Conway's wife died few days ago and he had no way of caring for the little ones. He was visiting at the Franklin House last evening and was taken suddenly and alarmingly ill there, and it was at first feared that he had taken poison as he was very much depressed. Upon examination made by Dr. Fleischuer he found that the symp- toms and indications pointed to @ case of smallpox, and the doctor thought it best to have the patient removed to await further Conway was taken away at about midnight.

SEVEN THOUSAND SOULS.
Many Weddings i'm St. Patrick
 GhmFch.

Many WeddiRgs i'm St. Pasrick's
 Church.
 Rev. Father Rigney at St. Patrick's church yesterday gave announcement of several more marriages For the next six Sundays there will be no marrying or giving in mar riage in the Roman Catholic church, there being no weddings in the Lenten season. Hardly Sunday passes outside the Lenten season without the announcement of one or more weddings to occur, but this is nothing strange as St. Patrick's parish numbers about seven thousand souls. The three priests in charge of this parish, Rev. Fathers Russell, Rigney and Kyle, are kept extremely busy in the work of the parish, and a fourth reverend father would, members of the congregation say, find plenty to do, the parish being so large and the calls to visit the sick and dying so numerous, to say nothing of the church services, weddings and other duties pertain ing to the priestly office.

UnIfed Chureh

The evening service at the United church was not as fully attended as that of the mor- ming. Those not deterred by the slippery walking and clouded sky of the afternoen and evening listened to good plain sermon from Rev. John F. Franklin, son of our well known townsman Ar. William Franklin. His son, although recently filling very accsptably a pastorate in New York State, is pursuing postgraduate course in the Theological semi nary here. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God," Matt. v, 8, was the text. This blessedness, the speaker said, is attained only by help of the holy spirit to our striving and effort to be like Christ. This seeing God is heart union. A perfect change of our fallen nature is necessary. We need to become like Christ, pure with no taint of impurity. Lessons of faith and duty were drawn from the subject and from the verses of the context. Dr. Munger, the pastor, was present in the pulpit and gave out the hymn before the sermon. Many strangers were in the audiences. The singing, as usual, by the ouartette choir was excellent, the congrega- fion joining in it. Like the Rev. Robert Hume Mr. Franklin was one of the members of the old Third church and many of his companions were present-ushers and Chris tian workers in the church.

 The regulations for Lent were read in all the Catholic churches yesterday. For the first time, by order of the Pope, they will be uniform all over the United States. The de- cree sent from Rome makes some changes in the old rules. Meat is now allowed to be eaten on Holy Thursday and by those who are excused from fasting several times a day on those days that are not of abstinence, and dinner can be taken in the evening and the collation. at noon when custom or convenience demand the inversion of the regulations. The fast of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and will last for the following forty days. The name Ash Wednesday comes from the ceremony of putting ashes on the heads of the clergy and the people, which will be ob- served in all the churches on Wednesday morning, a custom which dates from the time of the prophet Jeremiah. The three days following yesterday are called Shrov G. tide. Yesterday was Quinquagesima Sunday in the Catholic church calendar-the fftieth day from Easter. It is the time for forgive ness, the time of penance and remission of sin by fasting and self-denial

until the whole nation goes against the liquor traffic. Local option is simply skir- mish with the enemy and it will never win: The victory must be won in the national government, and it is radical and heroic remedy. The people cannot endure the saloon system much longer. The liquor deal CTS are getting aroused for they see the strength of prohibition. National prohibi- tion is our objective point. When we get that
 we will change the government from Con-
 gress down, and then we will see an end to
 this In no other way can we win. Prohi-
 bition is from two to four times more eff
 fective in reducing saloons than any other
 thing. There is to-day a conflict between
 the old and the new civilization. The old
 allows drinking and saloons; the new, total
 abstinence. Let us espouse the new, for we
 will indeed be in new heaven when we
 have no saloons.

 to hear Rev. Volney Cushing of Maine speak on temperance. He spoke of high license. He said the churchmen who advocated high license only advocated perpetual liquor traf- fc. It has been said that high license in certain States protects them from prohibi- ton, A distiller of Nebraska writes that high license is barrier to prohibition, and that it has not affected the sale of liquor in the least, and the dealers, if put to test, would all vote for high license. Local option is good as far as it goes, but it does not go far enough. Local prohibition is very hard to prohibit. Prohibition is very incomplete. It has never had fair trial, and never will
