taibutes the following: eve were sur
prised and grieved to learn Of the sad
death of Flora SlOcum at the early age
of eighteen years. She had been a suf-

her friends hoped as she became older
she would outgrow it; but a week ago
she had a severe attack and on Saturday
received the last SacrlmentS. after which
she seemed to rally and her friends were
hopeful that she would recover. On
Thursday morning, a little before 6
o'clock. Just as the dawn of q new day
was lighting up the east, the day of
eternity had opened for her, and her
pure soul went forth to receive the re-
ward of her patient suffering. She was
a lovely girl, with a sweet. gentle face,
and kind, loving disposition. and was
the cherished ideal of her home and fam
lily. She was esteemed and loved by a
large circle of friends. In death she
looked beautiful as she laid in a pale
heliotroDe caskct of embossed plush.
The funeral took place Saturday after
noon from st. Francis de Sales church.
1t was largely attended. After the GER
emory her remains We're borne to the

YOU in her heavenly home, where is
never heard the sigh of pain. or is seen
the tear of sorrow, but where all is joy
and gladness and everlasting peace.

in pamphlet form. 1t comprises list
of officers and their reports for the yeal
1891, and a list of officers and committees
for the year 1892. The retiring vice
president and acting president, Col. E.
ID. Bennett, says: THE work of the Ed
ucatiOnal Committee. who had in chal &c
the entertainment course, 50 clearly met
the views of the people of our village
that the season tickets were literally
purchased aud a superior course of en-
tertainments were secured which are a
source of entertainment to our people
and decided help to the Association. ="
The report of the General Secretary
shows the total membership to date as

These members are classified as follows:
Regular, III; limited, 5; junior, 20
total, III. lie alludes to to the death of
two active members, Fred w. Hicks and
Frank II. Scott. He adds:
I'VE frankly say that the physical
work of the Association has been in part
disappointing The gymnasium has not
been used nearly as much as expected,
though the Class work taught in it is
identical with that taught in the gym
nasiums of New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia, and in fact most,Of the large
Association gymnasiums throughout
the country and in those places draw
hundreds of young men who are am
bilious to improve themselves phys
ically.
"The bathing facilities are in constant
use and are thoroughly appreciated.
Regular exercise and diet and the proper
use of the above would go great way
to solve the question of personal purity
among young men
1--WE have been able to help a number
of young men to find employment and
many others have been directed to
boarding houses under Christian in
tluences, Still Others have been visited
when sick and aided when necessary.
Letters of introduction have been handed
to those leaving town, to the city AssO
citation thus bringing them at once
under Christian influences i'll the most
trying period of their lives"
The treasurer reports receipts to the
amount of S2,50O.20, of which Sj42.50
was from membership tickets. The ex-
penses have been 81, 445.5l, leaving a bal
ance of S57.0S in the treasury. The

balance for regular incidentals, save only
the rent, $3.50, and some needed fur
