Archbishop Corrigan occupied the throne
during the mass, but did not take part in the
service He seemed to be strongly affected at
times and while the Rev. NJ ]. Lavelle was
preaching the sermon and spoke feelingly Of
Mckinley. the Archbishop could plainly be seen
sobbing. Most of the time. however. he was in

Dwyer, and the subdeacon the Rev. T. F. Muir
ply. The master of ceremonies the Rev.

Father Lavelle devoted his entire sermon to
the life of President Mckinley, and his words
received the closest attention. He first read
the open letter of the Archbishop to the clergy
in his diocese asking for prayers for the late
President praising the latters virtues and con-
demning anarchy. Father Lavele then said:

Father Lavelle then referred to anarchism
and TO the writings of Pope Leo XIII on the
subject At this time Archbishop Corrigan
showed his deep emotion and kept his hand

speaking OF anarchists the Rev. Mr.. Lavelle
said:

inequality in God Himself. In family where
