REMARKABLE PRESERVATION or A CORPSE.
The body of Mary Ann Gricr, who disap-
peared from her fathers house near Wana-
tah Ind, nearly forty years ago,
has been found in an abau.
doned IRON ore pit, near thore.
Some peculiar quality of the water has kept
the body in Il wonderful state of preserva-
ton, although tho clothing is completely de-
stroyed, Not only is tho contour of the form
as perfect as in life, but even the color has
remained unchanged. The arms and shoulders
are as white as marble, the hands are brown,
and one of them still bears the STAINS of the
berries with which she was working tho
afternoon of her disappearance.
PRIEST CAUSES A SENSATION.
Rev. Thomas T. eastman, pastor of
st. Jarlath's Catholic church at Jack
son street and Ogden avenue when asked by
one of his parishioners to christen child
"Garfield,n refused and gave rs the reason
for so doing that he knew nothing in the life
of Garfield that stamped him e-eminently
as Christian. Then he added
~ do not remember, either that Garfield
died with the consolation of any church. A
Catholic who dies without extreme JUNCTION
or the last rites of the church, dies the death
of dog"
st. Jarlaths is one of the wealthiest Cath
olic parishes in the city and also one of the
most fashionable, and the utterances of
Father eastman have created great sensa-
tion.
