DEATH S DOINGS
EkszE
CAMPBELL.

In silent sorrow, her many, many
friends gathered round the blossom
strewn bier of aged Miss Susan Camp
bell at st. Leo's Cathedral this morn
ing to witness the last sad offices for
her earthly remains. The service was
tender touching tribute to the
beauty of her life, and none could but
feel that in her death the parish has
but source of sweetest inspiration.
Although she leaves no family to
mourn her end; having spent her life
in noble sacrifice, among those who
knew her well, she will be missed as
one of the dearest of friends.
1t was beautiful impressive service
in which she was bade farewell forever
on earth by five loved priests of the
great church to which she belonged.
Solemn requiem and high mass were
performed with the Very Reverend
Dean Coonan of Bradford as celebrant.
Reverend Father Raycroft of Erie act
ed as deacon, Revered Father Nc
Givany of Dubois as sub-deacon and
Reverend J. w. Murphy of New Beth
lehem as master of ceremonies. At
the close, Reverend Father Meagher of
Ridgway, in the service of whom she
has given many of her best years, hav-
ing been with him when he first began
to come here in 1874 and taking charge
of his home when he was established
here in 1876, performed the sacred cere-
mony of absolution.
AS mark of the greatest respect to
the nobility of her life Rev. Father
Meagher gave for her interrhent a
crypt in his private Mausoleum in st.
Leo's Cemetery. Ridgway Daily Rec
ord.
Miss Campbell was well and favor
ably known by many of our towns
people and held in the highest esteem,
having lived here when Father Meagher
was Priest in charge of this parish
Mrs. NJ. G. Tulis of this place attended
the funeral, which was held in Ridg-
way last Thursday morning.

The Fate of Delinouents.

A newspaper publisher recently
brought suit against forty-fve men
who would not pay their subscriptions,
obtaining judgment in each claim
Twenty eight of them made affidavit
that they owned NJ more than
the law allowed, thus preventing at.
tachment. Then, under the decision
of the Supreme Court they were ar.
rested for petit larceny and bound over
in the sum of $500 each. All but six
gave bail and they went to Jail. The
new postal law makes it larceny to
take paper and refuse to pay for it

years and greatly respected him.

Loyalty! If you work for a man, in
Heavens name work for him. If he
pays you wages that supply you bread
and butter, work for him; speak well of
him; stand by him and stand by the
institution he represents. If put to a
pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a
pound of cleverness. If you must
vilify condemn, and eternally dispar-
age, why resign your position, and
when you are outside, damn to your
hearts content. But as long as you
are a part of the institution do not con-
demn it If you do, you are loosening
the tendrils that hold you to the in
stitution, and the first high wind that
comes along, you will be up.rooted
and blown away, and probably you
will never know why.-Elbert Hub

An exchange prints the following,
which will, no doubt, interest many of
our readers: Do you know that you
can write your name on the metal of
your farm tools? You can. Just take
little tallow or wax, melt it and
spread it over the place on which you
want your name; write your name
down through the wax with a big
needle or awl and pour few drops of
nitric acid over the letters you have
made. Leave few minutes. Then
wipe off the wax and your name will
be on the iron.

innings. Overturf did the pitching for
our boys and showed up in old time
form, and also had his eye on the ball
making two base hit, bringing in two
runs. Fisher on third played good
game and made the hit that scored the
winning run. Our boys all played
good ball and seemed to have re-

to win all. Now that they are again

We Have Similar Case.

For years the enterprising people of
this city have been clamoring for pub
lie sewers. They realized that town
without general and comprehensive
system of pubic sewers is generally
considered dead one. 1t is, there
fore, little strange to hear that the
knockers are at work finding fault
Some think we did not need sewers at
all. Others imagine that the sewers
should have been built without any in
crease in taxes. Still others claim that
the sewer is too small, while quite
few knock just to hear themselves talk.
1t is no credit to a man to
try to belittle any public work which
tends to improve his home town. The
sewer now being constructed is the
most beneficial public work ever at
tempted in st. Marys, and every good
citizen should realize this and squelch
the knocker whenever he displays a
desire to find fault.-St Marys Gazette.
While our people have some fault to
find with our sewer, which is at no
time over half full, and they blame the
sewer every time, the water backs up
from the creek. This no doubt will be
remedied at the out let. The kick now
comes because we are to pave our
main street at one third cost to the
property owners on each side. The
Borough council can, if they desired
levy the entire cost on the property
| owners but will not do SO, on the con.
trary agreeing to pay one'third of the
cost. OF course some have kicked and
now few, very few, will attempt to
prevent the work and force the Coun
Gil to resort to the other measure-put
all on the property owner. However,
| our citizens do not believe an intelli-
gent court will rule against the ma
jority.
