LAID TO REST.
Rev. Martin Walsh Buried at Calvary With
J Imposing Ceremonies.
sSeldom have the priests Of the arch
diocese turned out in such numbers as
they did Wednesday morning to pay the
last tribute of affection to Father Walsh,
OF the .diocee of Peoria, who died Monday
afternoon at St. Joseph's hospital, st.
Paul, says the Call Of that city. The
funeral services we're held, at the invita-
tion of Father Dolphin, in St. Patrick's
church, and were most Impressive.
Mother Seraphine, of st. Joseph's acad.
! ety, Mother Bernadine, of the hospital,
and several OF the sisters showed their
respect for the deceased priest by their
presence.
Father Walsh was splendid type of
tbe young clergy of Ireland who give up
their associations and their homes to-
spread the gospel of Christ in every part
OF the world. He was born twenty-nine
years ago in Galway and made his col
|ldgjate course in ST Jarlath's. Tuam.
After graduating he entered All Hallows,
which has sent missionaries to every
qtarter of the globe. He was ordained
priest three years ago, and came out to
this. country. His first mission was at
Ell Paso, ELL, where he made hosts OF
frie nds, and where there are many who
oufn his loss. He began hn iabora
STRONG and active young man. but he
so on contracted cold which he never
succeeded in shaking off and which
quickly developed into consumption.
He went South for short time; and, as a
last resort, he came to st. Paul, where
he was tenderIy cared for the past eight
months by the Sisters of st. Joseph
Nothing that science could suggest or
love prompt was neglected; but it was
all in vain. He gradually wasted away,
and it was for months only question Of
time.
Although he was practically a stranger
here, no higher honors could be paid to
any one than were bestowed on him
We dnesday morning. The beautiful
ceremonies Of the Catholic church were
carried out in every detail, and no one
who was present will ever forget the
occasion. Promptly at 10 o'clock the
two chantors, Fathers Dolphin and
Malloy, began the Office for the dead,
and the vast concourse of the laity listen
ed to the sad funeral notes as the priests,
habited in cassock and surplice, sang
those sad psalms which tell us of the
nothingness of this world and the beau
ties of the life to come.
The solemn requiem mass was sung by
Rev. P. O'Neil], with Father Hand as
deacon and Father Fitzgerald as sub
deacon Father Dolphin acted as mas
ter of ceremonies, and delivered most
touching and eloquent eulogy. He told
of the many virtues of Father Walsh,
and contrasted beautifully his life of
suffering here with the reward which
must now be his. He said that the
circumstances of the funeral were par
ticularly sad, as the young priest bad
died far from the good people among
whom he labored. He urged the clergy
and the laity to pray for bim, saying that
it was always the dearest wish of priest
that those who knew him in life would
not forget him in death.

sanctuary were Fathers Dolphin, Rhat-
