possible for him TO overcome the preiu-
dice. even though it may be unjustly en-

people against the Vatlcan's Intervention
In political affairs.

and In which the President was repre-
sented as having outlined his views on
the Cuban situation.
The clerical organ, the Osservat0re Ro-

office. can only say that. despite the
animosities aroused. believe that calm
counsel will yet prevail and that the
United States and Spain viii be able TO
solve this problem on n basis just and
honorable to all concerned and without
recourse to arms.
II fully recognize the earnestness. pa
triotism and intense vigor OF the Ameri-
can people, but l feel that IL is not i'm
proper for me TO suggest that at such a
profoundly solemn moment earncstness
and strength should be tempered with
calm Justice and a disposition to look at
both sides OF the question and not alone
to one side"

The base is q granite block ten feet square, weighing sixteen tons. It Is said that all the bridges on the road to Westford will have to be strengthened before this stone can be car ried over 1t.

 Patrick Murray, aged 56, was found dead Sunday morning, about 2. 30 o'clock, by his son, John, at the foot of the wall in the rear of the tenement houses just beyond inc intersection of Center and West streets.

Various rumors were ahoat during the day as to how the deceased came to his death, but they were all groundless, and there Is no reason to SUD- pose that the fatality resulted from any thing but accident. Mir. Murray was with his family at home at ten o'clock Satur- day night. He left inc house then, but as it was sort of custom with him to 20 out for short walk occasionally before retiring, his absence did not cause any anxiety until some little time had elapsed. On his failure to return search was be- gun, which lasted until he was found where ho had fallen. He had been dead for some time, and it is supposed that he died instantly. Mir. Murray was . man Of extreme nervous temperament, and the most logical explanation of his sad death is that In moment of intense preoccupa- ton he wandered from the road and walk. cd over the wall. The sympathy of . large circle of friends Is with the bereavec family. He leaves a widow and eight children, i've boys and three girls. The funeral was hold at St. Edwards church Tuesday, at 9 .. m., Rev. K. O. Gragmn ofIlciatIng. The burial was in the Catho. lic cemetery.
