4 "HOUSE OF REPOSE.'
FATHER DUCEY's NON-sECTARIAN MORT
UARY CHAPEL.

UARY CHAPEL.
There has just been completed at No. East
Twenty -eighth-st a building different in its
character and purposes from any other ever
established IN the city. 1t is a House Of Re-
pose for the Dead" and has been given by the
Rev Father Thomas J. Ducey, rector Of St
Leo's Roman Catholic Church, in Twenty
eighth-st. near Fifth-aye.
The need for a shelter Of this kind has al
ways existed here, and has been only made
quately met by undertakers shops and burial
parlors" Those whose friends and relatives
have died in their own homes have not, per-
haps. often realized the circumstances that sur
round the deaths of even wealthy strangers who
have no friends in the city The hotels or board
ing houses at which they have been staying
are unwilling and indeed cannot be expected, to
allow the dead bodies 70 remain there long, and
it is customary to send them at once 10 the
nearest und-rtaker's Often those who come
from long distance to claim the bodies do not
know where to find them and obliged to in
qure and sometimes make a considerable search
for them.
Father Ducey has long felt that a resting
place designed for these stranger dead ought to
exist, and he has often given the use Of his own
home to them. In the crypt Of II. Leo's Church
years sheltered members Of his creed who have
died away from their homes The church will
still be open in the same way TO Catholics, but
the House Of Repose" is free to every one.
Protestants as we'll as Catholics, and nOn-at-
tendants at religious services as well church
members Here the bodies will be accommo-
dated until ARRANGEMENTS can be made by fam
lilies or friends for their burial
The House Of Repose for the Dead" next
door to st. Leo's Church. stands back from the
street. and looks like pleasant private dwelling
house A winding gravel path borderei with
flower beds and stretches Of grass leads up to
the door The church walls on the right and
those Of the neighboring building on the left
will soon be entirely covered with the vines
which are already climbing over them. Inside
the house the rooms are decorated with sim
plicity and good taste. There is a vestibuled
entrance, with marble tiles. and a little balcony
in which musicians may be- placed Religious
services over the bodies laid in the house may
be conducted hy a minister representing the be-
lief Of the dead person.
The ground and the building have cost more
than 5000 Not a cent II this money has
come from the treasury Of St Leos Church
Father Ducey hopes to maintain the shelter by
the unsolicited gifts Of those who shall have
used its privileges and who have the means TO
contribute 20 its support lie feels confident
that his Protestant brethren throughout the
country will DO for him what his friends here
have already done-contribut- money in large
or small sums-that the property may be freed
from debt and established on q permanent basis.
II is also intended 10 incorporate it under the
laws Of the State.
