New York. May 6.-Archbishop Cor
figan died at 11:05 p. m.
The death Of the archbishop came as
q great surprise and shock to those In
the Archepiscopal residence. 1t was
more so to the general public, for the
last bulletin of the day was that, so
certain were the physicians OF an I'M
provement in the condition Of the pa
tient, there would be no more bulletins
during the night. Up to 10:3O there
was no evidence of collapse, in fact,
the archbishop at 10:30 talked with
his secretary. About IL o'clock, how
ever, the trained nurses who had
charge at the bedside noticed a
change. Acting on instructions the
physicians were telephoned for. At
the same time the archbishop's two
brothers were summoned to the room,
as we'll as a lumber of priests. 1t
was quickly seen by the physicians
that the end was at hand and in less
than a quarter of an hour his grace
was dead. His last moments were
peaceful and without evidence of suf-
fering.
Archbishop Corrigan's illness really
dated from the end of February of this
year, when in going through the Kelly
memorial chapel, in course of con-
struction at the end of the cathedral,
he fell between some beams, and, to
keep himself from falling to the floor
below, he had to. hold himself up by
the armpits. The strain was very
great and before he recovered from the
effects of the accident he was attacked
with pneumonia. It was thought he
was out of danger, but his condition
last Sunday night was bad and he was
unable to rally.

loses one Of these she loses some
thing of great value. Away with the
idea that money makes the country
prosperous. Money does not create
wealth 1t is labor that creates
wealth, and a man who labors intel

On the morning Of the Fourth Of

she stood before the small mirror in

to her toilet. Her challis had made up
very prettily, and her mother had de-
lighted her by an unexpected gift of

before had such q beautiful hat, and
there was but one thing to detract
from her satisfaction with her appear

Hope, who was to play the accom-
paniment on the organ, and Miss Hope
had said that Louisa sang beautifully.

when, on coming home from the straw

flung open the parlor door behind him

"Why. grandpa" she exclaimed, nd
flung her arms around his neck. half
laughing and half-crying. His dim eyes
had strange light in them. and his
voice was not very steady as he said:

/ the second stanza in voice without the

now He stood beside her with one
with his snowy head and gently waved
the flag above the singer.
When Louisa Mays voice died away
after the last lines. the applause was
deafening. While il was still at its
height. her grandfather stepped TO the
edge of the platform. holding the flag
aloft. When he could be heard he
called out shrilly:

She had a very clear and strong voice
and she said to her mother as they
drove toward the grove: Il don't feel
bit nervous or afraid now"
She did, however, feel little nerv-
Gus when her turn to sing came, and
she found herself on the platform be-
fore the audience that filed every part
of the grove. The chairman of the
day stepped forward ard said:
I'VE will now listen to a solo, The
Star-Spangled Banner by Miss Louisa
May Hatfield"
At this some of the grand army men
set up shout, and Louisa May walked
to the front of the plat with the
large silk flag she was to hold while
she sang.
The applause died away. and the or
ganist had just begun to play the pre-
lude, when a boy shouted shrilly:
RED head, Red head, Better look
out or the fireworks will catch!"
Louisa Mays pink cheeks grew pal
lid. She opened her lips, but no sound
came from them. She was trembling
from head to foot. The flag fell from
| her hand down over the edge of the
platform. Then in an agony of embar-
rassment she put both hands over her
face and began to cry.
The boy who had called out Red
head" suddenly feat a hand grip the
back of his collar, and he was ierked
from his seat by an irate little old
man.
"I'l let We know how We call my
granddaughter red head We little sass
box! You take that" and he smartly
boxed the bowling boys ears. Then
he hurried toward the platform and ~
the steps. A queer-looking little old
man he was. with long white hair and
beard. He had on stif1y starched
linen cluster" and bright blue Jean
trousers Hurrying to Louisa Mays
side, he put his arm around her waist
and said, soothingly:
"There, there. LOUSY May, Don't
yeu mind that impudent little sass
! box. You sing your song now. Come,
grandpa will start We off on it,"
The old man picked up the flag which
she had let fall to the platform, and
holding its staff in one hand while his
other arm was round Louisa Mays
waist, he began TO sing in thin, way
/ ering, but not unmusical voice:
"oh say can you see, by the dawn's early
! light,
What so proudly We hailed at the twi-
lights last cleaning
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
through the perilous fight
Ger the ramparts We watched, were %
gallaptly streaming
He stopped at the end of these lines
and said gently to Louisa May:
Come, now, honey, YOU sing. too"
She had taken her hands from her
face, and as she looked into the SYM
pathetic faces of the people before
her. she felt her courage rive. When
| the old man began to sing the next
lines Louisa Mays voice, clear and
steady and sweet, rose high above his
own:
And the rockets red glare, the bomb.
bursting in air.
Gave proof through the night that our mar
was still there
Oh! say, does that star-spangied banne ryet
