WAS A PIONEER RESIDENT
Mrs. Peter Smith, Who Died Recently,
Came to This Section in 1852.

Mrs. Peter Smith, Who Died Recently,
Came to This Section in 1852.
Mrs. Peter Smith, another venerable
lady. who braved the hardships of
early days in this western, country,
died July 2. at her home, 52s Humboldt
avenue north, aged 7s years. This
long suffering patient Christian wom-
an endured four years OF sickness with
resignation to Gods will and when her
stainless soul was released by death It
sped to the bosom Of Him she loved
so well. Four years ago paralysis laid
its ruthless hand upon her and since
then she was cared for by loving chill
dren who We'd with each other to make
her last days happy. Mrs Smith was
born in the county Of Cavan, Ireland,
in 1880. In early life she developed
those rare qualities of mind and heart
which endeared her through life to all
friends and neighbors When the pres
ent site Of Minneapolis was a wilder
ness, Mrs. Smith and husband settled
In Golden Valley near the home of
John Gearty, whose wife was her sis
ter. That was 5e years ago. and only
"ld settlers know what 1t meant to be-
gin life on a farm in Hennepin county
half century back. Neighbors were
ee", market was remote and the bitter
cold of old fashioned Minnesota WIN
ters made life any thing but pleasant
But this heroic woman lived through
these adverse circumstances and carv-
ed a home for her family And when
the victory over primitive conditions
was won and she saw the fruit of their
labor, in a. substantial home and pros-
perity they had not expected, she
thanked God for this blessing. Mrs.
Smith was simple Christian woman
who trusted in heaven as the beacon
light Of the world. No modern sophis-
try could enter her soul. She loved
God and the church He founded and
in this abiding faith she passed to her
reward. She died in the fullness Of
years. She fulfilled her n1ission on
earth: she left her dear ones a price
less legacy, better than gold or stocks
"a good name, character that will
shine forever, and the noble example Of
fidelity to her religion
Her funeral took place on the sth
inst, from the Church Of the Immac.
ulate Conception. Father Cullen cele-
grated requiem mass and preached
the sermon: He paid a deserving trib-
ute to the departed. She was a faith
'ful wife. anectionats chsistiau anothsz.

of the gallant defense Of Limerick by
brave Irishmen and women. She
brought the true Irish spirit to her
American home and she retained her
patriotism to the end. She was one of

with the flight of years; those mothers
who have put a crown on the brow of
Irish womanhood; who have suffered,
and sacrificed comfort and pleasure
for the welfare of their homes and for
their children's sake. Those mothers
are passing from earth to their reward
ir heaven. Three such mothers lately
departed this life in North Minneap-
oils
Mrs Hickey came to this city 20
years ago, and here she lived with her
devoted sons and daughters. and she
rounded out her beautiful life in peace
and comfort. She was all a mother
could be. affectionate. kind. always
thoughtful of her children's welfare,
and a neighbor in fact and deed to the
sick and needy Her memory will long
be cherished by all who knew her. The
Catholic church was her anchor. She
was loyal to the old faith and every
Sunday and holy day she turned her
face towards the Temple Of God When
the infirmities Of age kept her indoors

She died peacefully. her soul bathed

Hughes VS.. Bryan's Fund.

The amounts you mention as con-
trlbuted to Mr.. Hughes are utterly
trivial compared to the amounts
have already mentioned as contribute
ed to your campaign in 1896; but IN
my Judgment the amount contributed
has nothing whatever to do with the
point at issue. The question was for
instance, whether Mr. Clark of Mon
tana, when he contributed heavily to
your campaign fund had a proper mo-
tive and whether your actions would
or would not have been Inferred prop
erly or improperly by that contrlbu-
ton and the same question applies to
Mr.. Hughes and to me. In the case
OF Mr., Hughes and myself the answer
is fortunately easy. You have moth

the Offices to which we were both
elected.
