Mrs. Albert Judice. born Ger

dencc in this town last Saturday.
Mrs. Judice was a native of Lafa

DR.. Scranton. She was few
months over 40 years of age and
always lived in this town where her
many wolnaniy virtues had won
for her the respect of all. Her life
was spent in doing good, saccor-
ing the needy and consoling the aft
flicted. She was devout. Catho-
lie and it may be said that no one
ever followed the doctrines of that
church with more fervor and sim
cerity and with no ostentation;
she was the true christian, who lived
and died such. Many charitable
deeds make her life worthy the e mu-
lation of younger mothers-for she
was the model mother in every re-
spect. In her death society sus-
tains the loss of useful member,
the church IS void OF faithful
worker in the cause Of the Saviour,
and four children have been de
prived ofthe dearest thing on earth

extends its sympathy.

That, Of all known agents TO- accomplish
