Sunday at ST. Bernard's.

The services at St. Bernard s church
last Sunday were very imposing as
beftted the celebration of the august
feast of the Holy Rosary The affairs
and the spacious sanctuary were hand
somely adorned with plants and flow
ers, in the midst of which the many
taper lights shone with the brilliancy of
stars. The Shrine of Our Lady was
particularly beautiful with fragrant
blossoms and delicate sgreenery, and
fairly delighted the eye with it's floral
beauty A very interesting and able
sermon on the efficacy of devotion to
the mother of Christ was given by
Rev. Father Boland, of the Sacred
Heart college. The Cecilian choir
was at it's best in the rendering of
the sacred music of the mass, and the
impressive ceremonies were very ap-
propriately concluded by grand or
gan selection.
A large congregation part cipated
In the evening services, which were
opened by an organ selection. The
principal feature of the evening was
the blessing and unveiling of the
beautiful new statue of the Sacred
Heart donated by NJ. Carroll, and but
recently received from France The
statue is nearly life size and the color
ing is warm and delicate, contrasting
beautifully with its grey background
and the marble of its pedestal The
eloquent and touching sermon deliv-
cred by the Rev. Pastor and the con
Guiding ceremonies were also OF a very
interesting character. The Cecilian
choir sang hymns appropriate to the
occasion, and two beautiful solos were
given by Mr.. and Mrs. Edw. J. Brandt,
respectively, the services being con-
cluded by the GRAND anthem, ''Te
Deum." by the full choir.

Burned to Death.

a very sad affair occurred Monday
evening at our neighboring village of
Lowell. A gasoline stove exploded at
the home of William Fischer and the
house and contents were burned to the
ground. Mrs. Fischer was caught in
the flames and burned in most pain
fuI and terrible manner about her
body. Her injuries were so serious
that they caused her death yesterday
noon, she having been unconscious
most of the time since the fire. Three
children and the husband survive her
The loss by the fire was about 81, 200,
with no insurance. Aided by the
Reeseville department the Lowell fire
laddies succeeded in preventing the
spreading of the confagration, but it
was hard fire to fight, everything
being extremely dry and the flames
being famed by the high wind.
