account of Corinne, who is distracted
with grief at the loss of her mother,
and whose suffering, it is believed, will
be alleviated if she has something to
occupy her mind
Private funeral services were con-
Quoted over the remains of Mrs. KIM

Dampier's chapel. There were present
only the members of the company and
the representatives of the press. Rev

church, conducted the simple service.
1t was touching scene, so affecting
that Rev. Mr.. Lord was ViSibly moved.
| After repeating beautiful and conSoling
| reflections upon life and death uttered
/ by eminent thinkers and philosophers,
Rev. Mr.. Lord contemplated the sor-
/ rowing group of mournerS and ad-
dressed a few words of sympathy and
| comfort to them. Though he had not
known the deceased, and was equally
unacquainted with any of those pres
ent, yet the scene before him told the
story more el0quently than words could
express it, phe grief that all shared,
the deep sorrow that moved each heart,
testified unspeakably to the esteem and
affection WHICH every member of the
company had felt for the kind and gen
ercus womans whom the Almighty had
called away from this world. The
! preacher likened the company to mem
! bers of a family bereaved of the guild
ing spirit and affection of a mother
I He closed his brief remarks with a
tribute to the esthnable qualities of the
departed, and with words of consola-
ton to those who so sincerely. nlourned
her loss.
1t was a pathetic scene. While Rev
Mr. Lord was speaking, tears were IN
