In 1868 Father Audran was ordered by
his Bishop to 60 to Jacksonville, which
was then poorlp supplied with Catholic
clergymen. There were no parochial
schools connected with the congregation,
and the church itself consisted of four
bare brick walls. Father Audran was
given a residence by his bishop, but he
moved out of it to allow it to be used as
a school, Since 1868 he had made vast
improvements, building up his church
and school, and although two foods
caused much distress among his parish
toner's he was able to accomplish much.
The funeral services were held We'd
nesday morning at st. Augustine's
church, which was incapable of holding
the immense throngs that came to pay
their tribute of respect to the memory Of
the clergyman. Solemn requiem mass
was cebrated by Monsignor Bessonies,
Vicar-G General of the diocese, with Rev.
Edward Clark, for nearly year Father
Audran's assistant, as deacon, and
Father Donohue, of Indianapolis, but
formerly of Jacksonville, and a great
favorite of the deceased, as sub-deacon.
Monsignor Bessonies, the celebrant of
the mass, is eighty-one years old, and
was the first resident priest in Jefferson
vile. The services were the most SOL
emn and impressive of the Catholic
church, and within the chancel were
about fifty priests, many being from
Louisville and Kentucky.
Coadjutor Bishop O'Donoghue, of
Indianapolis, delivered touching fune-
raj sermon, in which he dwelt feelingly
on the life and duties of Catholic priest,
and said that he was the guardian of the
morals and religion of his parishioners.
He was necessarily put through severe
training to prepare for the duties he
would be called upon to perform. The
vocation of priest is different from that
of other professional men. Their failure
means injury only to themselves, but the
priest can not afford to lose a single case,
for the loss is irreparable, and soul
dead in sin can not be recalled to spirit
ual life. Bishop O'Donoghue also said
that the best eulogy of the deceased priest
was the work he had accomplished.
At the conclusion of the services in the
church the casket containing the remains
was placed in the hearse, and preceded
by the Ancient Order of Hibernians,
Catholic knights of America and Roman
Knights of St. George, and followed by a
long line of hacks containing the visit
ing clergy, parishioners and citizens, the
funeral cortege proceeded to St. Angus
tines cemetery, where the remains of
Father Audran were consigned to mother
earth. Each of the clergy threw a hand
full of earth into the grave, aud then the
litany for the dead was chanted.
The honory pall-bearers were Maurice
Coll, William McAuliffe, Augustus Duble,
Thomas Donohue, Pierce Cowman, James
W. Sweeney.
Those who ofiiciated actively were John
B. Murphy, Dennis O'Hearn, James B.
L liberty. Redmond Stanton, Martin
Fugarty and Michael J. Kehoe.

While the AngeIus Rang the
Soul of the Pioneer Priest
Passed Away.
Had LabOred Untiringly i'm
Jacksonville for Thirty
one Years.
MANY PRIESTS ATTEND FUNERAL.

While the Angelus was ringing last
Sunday evening the soul of Rev. Father
Ernest Audran, the beloved pioneer
priest of Southern Indiana, took its
fight heavenward, and the venerable
prelate was relieved from his earthly
sufferings, after an illness of several
months duration, and although the end
had been anticipated for some days pre-
vious the announcement cast a feeling
of gloom in every home in the city of
Jacksonville. where he oficiated as
pastor of st. Augustine's church for the
past thirty-one years.
Father Audran was one of the best
known priests in this section of tile
country, having lived in Southern Indi-
ana since he came from France youth
over sixty years ago. He studied for the
priesthood and was ordained by special
dispensation in 1916 by Bishop Halian-
diere, his uncle, when only twenty-five
years old, being the youngest clergyman
in the diocese. For nearly twenty-three
years Father Audran was rector of the
Cathedral at Vincennes, then the most
important church in the diocese, writes
Edward Fitzpatrick. He was familiar
with the early history of the settlement
of the Northwest Territory and aided
several historians in searching the old
records in the Cathedral, some of them
going back long before Indiana was or
gained as State or even Territory.

WOMEN MAIL CARRIERS.
they Do Not Use the Regulation stage
and the Picturesque Four
INLAND.

There are two women mail carriers
n southern Berkshire who are doing
satisfactory work and appear to enjoy
the business, reports the Springfield
Republican. Miss Louise Marcome
drives the stage between Curtisville
and Stockbridge, making two trips
day, a distance of some four miles. AS
there is no railroad station at Curtis
Vile she does quite an express business,
md has number of passengers. Miss
Marcome is about rs years old and
mas been driving some four years. She
S noted for her promptness in making
the trips and her close attention to
business. The other woman stage
driver has been on the road for about
SIX months. She is Miss Olive Cakes,
of Egremont, who carries the mail
from North Egremont to Great Bar
rington- She is ~, and was learning
the dress1naking business when her
father, who has the contract for the
stage line, was taken sick and Miss
Cakes took his place temporarily. He
grew worse and died two months ago.
She has continued to drive the stage.
This is hard trip for woman, the
distance being some six miles, and she
makes two trips day, and, as she lives
midway between the two post offices,
this gives her considerable extra travel.
These women do not use the regula-
ton stage that is seen in pictures, but
light wagons. Their principal cargo
the mail and light express packages.
The passengers do not number over
one or two on trip except on special
occasions.

CHINESE DRUGS.
Dried Snakes, Plump Lizards and
Fearful Smelling Medicines
Are Included.

The employees in the office Of the APP
ing a shipment of Chinese medicines
and the place smelled like fertilizer
factory. says the Portland Oregonan.
There were the usual number of dried
snakes, the looks of which would be
certain to kill or cure any intelligent
patient. There were also number OF
plump lizards, spitted on rods and ex-
banded with strips of bamboo until
they resembled tennis rackets; lot
of "sea horses" long, slender fish,
with a head like horse and prehen-
sile tail; bundles of centipedes, fiat
tened out and pasted on sticks; cans
full of preserved pollywogs and angle
worms. and many other curious pana-
ceas, each of which smelled worse than
the other. There were pills as large
as prunes, handsomely decorated;
roots and YARDS" of many kinds,
which would paralyze Quaker doc
tor, and boxes and bottles of unknown
mixtures which would paralyze any
body. The 40 separate and distinct
smells of the town of Cologne are moth
ing compared to the odors arising from
that 500 worth of Chinese medicines.
which made some of the men handling
the stuff sick. Foul smell seems to
be a requisite in most medicines, and
II the beneficial effects of medicines
are proportionate TO the odor, the med
icines of the Chinese should be the best
in the world.

A Piute Wedding,

Piute society circles are in flutter
of delight over the marriage of a
pair of very popular members of their
tribe. The groom is Chief Chew-to
Back, alias Fish Lake Joe, the Medi
cine Man. He is well-known to the
pale faces for distance of twenty
miles. His nocturnal yelling over
his unfortunate patients is not unlike
the yelping of pack of hungry co
votes. His awful voice has brought
upon his head the anathemas of a
slumber- broken people.
The bride, Miss Minnie ha-ha- ha
Eat-Um-Bug, is the lovely daughter
of Chief Lousy Pete, and is the &C.
knowledged belle of the tribe. She
is an expert washer of dirty clothes
(other peoples), and can carry big
load on her head. All the Piute ,orcks
are envious of Joe's good luck.
The happy couple will spend the
honeymoon in Hawthorne and in the
Spring Joe says his wife will go te
Keller to shovel soda, and he will &C
to the Reservation for a rest. The
brides three red headed children
namely: Jack Nancy, Charley Miller
and Arthur George, will remain in
Hawthorne.
