Rev. Father Boutlou preached in Eng
lish and in French, extolling the public
virtues Of President Carnot, mourning
his taking OF and denouncing tho cauAo
of anarchy to which he fell martyr.
He said the assassinated president OF
France was as much q hero as though
he had fallen on tho field OF battle.
Speaking in French to the lnembers
oil the Alsace-L Lorraine Society no said
he would address them in their common
maternal language, saying that he was
o Breton, and BretaGne and Alsace and
Lorraine had always boon sisters. do
thanked them as fellov.couutrymen Tor
having made him an honorary member
OF their society and for requesting MIN
TO deliver tho sermon on this occasion.
DO reminded his hearers that when
death came to Carnot he was prepared.
He was good Catholic, good citizen.
an exemplary chief magistrate. All Of
forts had failed to draw him into the
scandal which had brought disgrace on
his country. Caruot was not n man TO
BIO corrupted. He was honest, disinter-
Gated, a lover OF his country. The
world needs men inspired by these es-
sentials. Carnot did his duty and had
nothing to fear. His conscience was
clear. God was with him. Ho COM
mended to all men tho virtues OF the
dead president.
In the course OF his remarks Father
Boutlou spoke Of tho Frenchman's love
OF the land Of his birth, which Is not
inconsistent with his l0vo for tho land
of his adoption. The remark, in
English and in French, were two scpar.
ate and distinct discourses, both OF
which made deep impression.
After tho services at the Cathedral
tho Alsace-L Lorraine society repaired to
its hall, where some time was spent.
The society resolved to wear an appro-
PIRATE badge Of mourning for thirty
days.
Mr. Joseph thinner, native Of
France, was present as the guest OF the
society, and being called on for a
speech, spoke in French as follows:
"The king ia dead Long live the
king!i This Is what is said when sov:
ereign dies. We say tho same thing,
for SadI Carnot was ruler and ono of
the. greatest. He was intrepid, as
Father Boutlou says. We have paid
him the last homage through the pres
ence OF all tho Frenchmen OF this com
munity to show their love for the great
dead. The king is dead. Long live the
king Twenty-four hourS af;er the as
isaSeination Casimir-Perier was chosen
successor to Sadi Carnot. Gentlemon,
I bid you drink to the health OF CaSimlr-
Pericr and to the prosperity of France.
