The last sad rites were performed
Over the BODY OF the Reverend Father
| Va. F. Hayes at the St. Francis de Sale;
/ Church al 10 o'clock this morning.
The large auditorium was crowded to
/ its utmost capacity, and then mourning
/ friends could not find accommodations.
The peWS on the center aisle were re-
/ served for the societies Of the church,
composed OF the following orders, who
/ turned out in body; Children oil
/ Mary, Sons Of ST. AloYsus, Order OF
Sodality, Knights Of st. George and
Ancient Order Of Hibernians. The re-
maindef OF the seats and aisles were
! filled with members OF the church and
fNlends OF Father Hayes.
After Pontihcal Mass Right Rever-
ened John A. WattersOn, ID. D., Cele-
brant, assisted by brother members OF
the clergy, Bishop Watterson delivered
an eloquent sermon, choosing for his
text the seventh verse Of the fourth
chapter OF Paups ePistle to Timothy:
81 have fought a good fight, 1 have fin
ished my course, have kept the faith. "
The stirring address was but a fitting
tribute 20 the memory OF the hOnored
dead, snd throughout the entire dis
course many Of the audience were in
tears.
Bishop Watterson said sit is useless
to attempt to describe the many yirtu-
Gus attributes, my dear childrdn, of him
who yonder lies before you; his kind,
fatherly heart stilled by the icy hand OF
death. or his many praiseworthy quail
tiles this handsome edifce, yonder beau
tiful school building, the many weeping
children and aching hearts appear as
monuments to his memory.
Ii was decided at first out OF respect
to his mother ind family to take the re-
mains 10 PittSburg for interment, but
later il was decided TO leave all that
was mortal OF the beloved pastor in the
midst Of mis- flock where his grave could
be visited daily by his many friends.
And now, my dear children, l beSeech
of you to remember your father in your
daily prayers, and by following out his
teachings and doctrines in your daily
life. The Bishop and Clergy have come
here 20 pay their respects TO the deceas-
ed brother. Now, my brethren, another
has fallen from the ranks, let as close
up and live closer together in the divine
work. Who will be the next? now
leave the remains to the members of the
church, Of which Father Hayes was
pastor.
The remains were then taken to Mt.
Calvary, accompanied by the clergy,
where the last Rite OF AbSolution was

posted temporarily In the vault.
