FOR REPosE OF THEIR SOULS
Solemn Requiem Mass at the Old
Mission Church


A solemn requiem was celebrated at
the old Mission church on Main street
yesterday morning for the repose of the
souls Of the recent Parie fire victims.
The church was draped in white and
black crepe. On one side of the altar
hung the stars and stripes and the other
side the flag Of France. Bishop Mont
gomery delivered a, most impressive SER
mon, eaying in part:
There is a common feeling of charity
among all men, but as nation the
American people owe debt of gratitude
to France, and they can pay it in no
more appropriate way than by gather
ing at this solemn time around the altar
of God to hold these services for the re-
pose of the soul Of those people who were
called before Him without a warning
while engaged in beautiful work Of
charity. The freedom to worship
God according to the dictates Of his own
conscience is every mans right. This
we have in America, but the signing of
the Declaration of Independence would
have been long delayed. and with it the
independence Of the United States, had
it not been for the help rendered by
France"
After the sermon the impressive re-
QUEEN mass was celebrated by the Rev.
Cote, celebrant; Rev. s. w. Libana,
deacon, and Rev. J. O'Reilly, sub dea-

vICTORIA'S REGAL RIGHT.
Why the Niece of William Nv. Was
Called to the Throne.

Called to the Throne.
Several newspapers, in explaining
to their readers how Queen Victoria
came to succeed William w, say it was
because she was his niece. That is the
truth, but only half the truth, for Will
liam ". had nephews and other nieces.
George Ills first, second, third and
fourth sons were respectively the prince
of Wales, afterwards George w., who
died childless in 1890; Frederick, duke
of York, who died in 1927, also without
children; William, duke of Clarence,
who died, William ~, June 20, 1887,
without lawful issue, and Edward, duke
of Kent and Strathearn, and earl of
Dublin, who died January 20, 1920, aged
SO, leaving as the sole issue of his mar
riage with Princess Victoria of Lem
ingen a baby daughter, now Queen Vic
toria. The queen succeeded William
~, not simply because she was his
child of the brother next to him in
the order of succession. Had Queen
Victoria had a brother, she would in
all probability not have been person
age of historical celebrity, save in the
contingency of succeeding him. Her
rights were those that devolved on her
from her father At the time she sue
ceeded to the throne her uncles-the
dukes of Cumberland, of Sussex and
Cambridge - were living, younger
brothers of her father and junior to
him in the line of succession in the or
der named. The duke of Cumberland
(who became king of Hanover on the
death OF William IV.) was man of
such despotic temper and principles
that all England cherished the Princess
Victoria as standing between it and
his succession to the throne. He had
lawful issue, as had the duke of Cam
bridge The duke of Sussex, most
estimable man, married twice, but
these unions being repugnant to the
provisions of the royal marriage act,
his children were barred from the line
of succession. From the revolution of
1858 rose the Jacobite party, made up
of those who supported the cause of
James H., his sons and descendants.
The picturesque modern Jacd(Dites do
not recognize Queen Victoria, despite
the fact that her succession is due to
her Stuart blood, for she is direct
descendant of Elizabeth, daughter of
James l., to whose heirs the title to
the throne devolyed by the act of set

Rat Extcrminator,

Cork has long been known as life

is claimed to be one of the surest rat
killers on the market. Its deadliness
is based on its capacity of expansion
when in contact with fluids. The cork,
finely granulated, is mixed with a com
pound which is not only an irresistible
attraction for the palate of the rat,
but produces a raging thirst. This is
