HIS LIFE SACRIFICED.
Epidemic Of Typhus Takes Skillful Irish
Physician.

The Galway Observer of recent date
contains the following account of the
death of DR.. M. B. Conroy of Spiddal,
county Galway, Ireland.
ut is with feelings of great regret
we record the death, on the 9th inst. of
typhus fever, contracted in the dis
charge of his duty, of Dr. Michael B.
Conroy, medical officer of Spiddal
About three weeks ago a typhus cpl
demic, supposed to have originated in
Galway, broke out in Spiddal, and the
disease, which would seem to be of a
particularly virulent type, has already
claimed several victims, of whom DR..
Conroy himself is the fourth. while so
many as twelve fever patients are
at present under treatment in Gal
way hospital. 1t was while mill
istering as doctor, and in his zeal
assisting as nurse to, the smitten
ones under his charge, with the
characteristic devotion to duty that
won for him the respect and adj
miration of the entire people among
whom he labored, that DR.. Conroy con-
tracted the fatal disease. Heroism.
even if resulting in no self-sacrifice,
is rewarded with V. C.'s and other
decorations, but the reward of so true
self-sacrifice as that of DIR. Conroy
will have it's reward in another world
On the Both ult Doctor Conroy was
removed to Galway Fever hospital,
where, under the care of DR.. Colohan
professor Queens college. Galway,
he had the advantage of the
highest medical skill, as well as
the unremitting attention of nurses
Dillon and Regain, but all these aids
proved unavailing. and DIR. Conroy
passed away on Tuesday evening. In
Galway city the greatest regret was
manifested at so untimely close of a
life of much promise, and the extra
ordinary popularity of so young man
in town and country, added to the cir
cumstances of his death, made the
funeral on Thursday last probably one
of the largest and most representative
manifestations of genuine grief that
have been witnessed i'm Galway. Large
numbers of people, even the poorest,
came some fifty miles to be present at
his funeral, as proof of the affection
ate regard in which he was held by all
classes. After high mass at the Pro-
Cathedral at II o'clock the funeral
procession started at - o'clock for
Prospect Hill cemetery. The chief
mourners were-Rev. NJ. d. Conroy,
P. P, Spiddal; John G. Conroy, solicit
tor, Co. c., Galway; Patrick d. Con-
roy, J. P. d. c., Garafin; Anthony J..
Conroy, medical student (brothers),

The death of DR.. Conroy has brought
sorrow to a number of homes in St.
Paul, as he was member of the we'll
known family of that name in the Cap
ital City, among whom is Coleman j.
ConrOy, the popular plumber.

But through the clouds brighter

With our faces turning homewards. we

And we're going back to Ireland in

Our fathers had to wander from the
land that gave them birth;
But the turning tide conveys Il
friendly warning,
And the distant sons of Erin, with
hearts attuned to mirth,
Will be sailing home to Ireland in

Sailing home, sailing home! never

ton, Rev. Edward A. Mason, reported
fourteen county associations, of which
one has been organized during the past
year, and reviewed the work during the
year. The series of Institutes by Mrs.
Petit was referred to as one of the lead
ing features of the work. The years
statistics show S45 Sunday Schools
which have made returns, though notices
of this convention were sent out to over
HOO schools, most of which are believed
to be in existence.
The treasurer of the association,
Charles II. Hubbard, made detailed
and very full report of the finances.
This showed total receipts of "a, $50
for the year, including $4,000 at the
beginning of the year, and expenditures
which leave S97. "a now in the treasury.
Under the head of consideration of
reports, the suggestion was made that
the Star be published only once in two
months instead of every month. This
suggestion had considerable discussion,
mostly adverse, and was finally referred
to the executive committee.
The last hour of the forenoon was de-
voted to workers conference or round
table, conducted by General Secretary
Mason, on the topic, "How to Make
Effective County, District and Town
ship Associations" The discussion
covered wide range of subjects, twenty
five questions being printed on leaflets
which had been distributed. The sug-
gestions and comments of General
Secretary Mason and of General Secre-
tary Dummer of the New Hampshire
Association, were valuable feature of
the discussion. The programme moved
with good speed, the responses being
prompt, concise and to the point. A
few minutes of prayer followed.
