vNCE WELL KNOWN CITIZEN DIES AT
 PORTLAND
John EngIehardt Always Maintained His Lodge Memberships in Bridgeport
 Though Absent 20 Years.

John Engelhardt, aged 66. for many years a resident of this city, where he conducted the Trans-Continental Ho- tel in Pembroke street, died yesterday in Portland Oregon, where he has re- sided for the past 20 years. He went west because of the condition of his health and engaged in the hotel busi- ness at Portland, when the city was young. He retired a year ago in comfortable circumstances. He never returned to this city but two years ago his son visited here and renewed many former acquaintances. His borther was the late George Engel- hardt who founded the delicatessen business now conducted by his son, George Engelhardt.
 John Engelhardt left a wife and two sons, John and Christopher who re- side in the west, John being a resi- dent of Portland and Christopher a resident of Sioux City, Iowa.
 Mrs. Charles Meyer of 722 William street is a sister of the deceased, Louis Pack, manager of the Emerson Shoe Store; Charles Pack, the well known barber, and George Pack, cornice ma ker with Drouve & Co.,, and George Engelhardt of this city are nephews.
 He was a member of several local lodges and has always retained his membership in them.

 You certainly did.'
 And you paid me for itT'
 'Of course I didr' was the emphatic response.
 'Then the machine belongs to you, doesn't ft?"
 "Why, to be sure it does"
 ''Well, that being the case, I'd advise you not to amble through the city shouting about it's defects. If you do, I'd like to know how you expect to sell it."-Lippincott's.

ST. MARY'S MISSION
Subject of Eternal Punish ment Due Unrepented Sin Treated by Rev. Father Moran in Masterly Dis cOIlrse.

There was no mincing words by Rev. Father Moran the learned Pauhst in his talk to the men of the parish at the mission service last evening in St. Mary's church. He treated the sub- jects of hell and he handled 1t in manner that left no doubt as to posi- ton of the Catholic church upon this question. "Unrepented mortal sin means eternal punishment for the soul after death. according to the teaching of the Catholic church," said Father Moran. This is no new position for the church for it has been it's doc urine since it's foundation by Christ himself and it must needs be always remain so inasmuch as it was Christ himself who said depart from me ye accursed into everlasting fire prepar- ed for the devils and angels" Father Moran's treatment of the theme was masterful and his audience which in cluded many non-Catholics was v1s- ibly impressed.
 Tonight Father Walsh speaks upon the Mercy of God and Sunday the mis- are heard each morning from till 2 a. m, each afternoon from till 6 pm. and every evening following the ser vice till all who are waiting have been heard. There will be no mission ser vice tomorrow evening; instead the church will be open for confessions The fathers will preach at all of the masses on Sunday the closing day of the mission. In spite of the dis agreeable weather last evening and this morning services were attended by congregations that taxed the capac- ity of the edifice.

So house. wives were Instructed how to disguise the flesh of dogs. horses, asses, rats and mice and were shown that, despite the old adage, one can make an omelet without breaking eggs.
