Death of Miss Ida Woo1

BLESSED are the dead WHO die in the
Lord, for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven Such was the happy death of
Ida Wood who passed away on July
It, Miss Wood was in the employ of the
Plymouth Clothing company when her
health failed. Abscess Of the liver de-
veloped. and she suffered excruciating
pain. Her physician decided that a
surgical operation was necessary to
prolong her life. To this she cheer
fully assented, and she bore the ordeal
with fortitude; but skillful hands could
not save her. The shock of the opera
ton was too much for her enfeebled
system. and she gave up her pure soul
to the God who made it. She died
happy; her last words were, "Jesus,
Mary and Joseph, help me-"
Miss Wood was q years old and of
all amiable disposition, which won her
many friends. Her funeral took place
on Sunday last. and despite the intense
heat, Ascension church was well filed
many Protestants being present Father
Harrington, who attended Miss Wood in
her last sickness. spoke in an impress
sive manner, and urged his hearers to
lead good life. that death may not be
a misfortune. He said he had rarely
prepared one for death who was more
resigned than the young woman who
lay dead before them.
After tho services the funeral cortege
wended is way to ST. Mary's cemetery,
where all that was mortal of Ida Wood
was laid to rest.

The conspiracy of silence" which has

American daily papers any mention of

OF all men. The Dispatch has given in
its issue of July 9th and July 10Th. aud

and most touching account of the dis
tress. And it has done more; it has
pointed out because of the distress. the

The London papers condesccnd to say
that the American navy is quite formid-
able. They ridiculed it not long since,
but now they think it capable of coping
with the French navy, and say IT. could
wipe out the German navy with ease.
Perhaps they would not like to have our
navy meet the British ships in battle.

Another yarn comes from London
through Harold Frederic, to the effect
tnat at the beginning of the war an
American naval officer bribed British
seamen TO steal for him the secret code
OF British signals. The correspondent
says that the London papers would have
kicked up a tremendous disturbance
over the affair but for their extreme
fricndlincss to America. OF course.

There were nearly 100000 Germans in

And Of the white populations
| English extraction ........... 1880, 900
| Non-English extraction ... 35,7lu, 900
