bass voice. Mrs. Halle Parrish
Hinges also sang sweet solo in her
usual delightful voice. Miss Lena
Benolt, at the request OF the deceased
prior to his death, saug a beautiful
solo very sweetly. The music through.
out was beautiful, though character
lied by the tone Of sadness and solem-
nifty incident to such occasions.
The altars, the railings, and the
walls Of the church were heavily and
tastifully draped In mourning. 1t is
not in line with the usage of the
Catholic church to make any display
OF flowers on and around the coffin and
this fact being known to many, they
refrained 'brloging in many such
garlands which would otherwise have
been contributed. A large number OF
fine bouquets were brought, however,
and these we're distributed along the
chancel railing.

In the vast congregation were Cover

prominent in the religious, political,
social and business life OF Salem who
was not present either by himself or
family, while from country for many
miles people also came in large num-
bers.
After the chanting of the gospel.
Archbishop Gross, who occupied
chair near the altar, arose aud delly.
cred a short but eloquent sermon, In
which he referred In fitting language
TO the great concourse of friends OF
all denominations who had gathered
TO pay their last tribute of love and
respect to the faithful priest whose
remains were deposited before them.
He said that the great fact which had
brought them together was a re-
mlnder that similar circumstances
would come TO all of us, that in time
the places Of all present would be
niled by Others, and that ceutered
around these considerations there
should be an eVer-present thought
That there Is another aud a higher

yearns and for which our life on earth /
shoald be guided, so that in that
future life we may enjoy the bliss
tae love, the peace aud happiness
which can only come in its perfection
