The delegation from the Ladies of Charity St. Vincent De Paul of which Mrs. Doolan is second vice president was headed by Mrs. M. H. Ford and Mrs. Henry Lee.

Brewer of Danbury, Kemper of West port, Burr of Fairfield, Olmstead of Monroe, Heisler, Hamilton and Rich ards of this city and Jailer Scofeld.
 The floral tributes were exceedingly handsome and filled several coaches. There were upwards of 100 pieces many of which were Iarge standing designs of rare beauty, remembrances of life long friends, admirers and var ious fraternities with which he was affiliated.
 As the body was borne from the house in Atlantic street the deputy sheriffs and Elks formed a guard of honor where with heads uncovered they watched the remains of their former associate borne to the church where the final solemnities were to be observed.
 The solemn high requiem mass was sung by Rev. Father Judge with Father Fitzgerald as deacon and Father Sweeney as subdeacon. The music was by a quartet comprising Miss Cummings, Mrs. Lennon and Messrs. Chew and Seere. At the of fertory Miss Cummings and Mrs. Len non rendered "Pie Jesu." Later Mrs. Lennon sang, Beautiful Land On High" and at the close of mass MT. Chew rendered Heaven is His Home" Tho 011artof Sano fho hodV was hp- ing borne into the edifice "Thy Will' Be Done'' as the remains were leav- ing, Nearer My God To Thee" The body reposed in a massive oak casket.
 The eulogy by Rev. Father Sween- ey, rector of the church was most touching and delivered with a depth of feeling for Father Sweeney and the deceased were warm personal friends. He referred to the fact that Sheriff Doolan had fought the good faith As father, citizen, friend and adviser he earned the respect which his life deserved.
 He spoke of the honors which came his way as a public official and how we'll he bore them and how faithful he was to his trust. Referring to his personal traits he told of the bigness of his heart and how many poor and needy persons in the community would sadly miss him.
 He had words or SOlace TOT the af- flicted widow and children and in ex- tended remarks dwelt upon the un- certainty of life and how soon after all would come the day when all pres ent would pass away like the friend at whose bier they gathered in sorrow today.
 It was an eloquent tribute to the memory of one who had endeavored to fashion his life so that society would be the better for his having lived Those who sat with marked attention to the feeling words of the clergyman knew how truthfully he spoke and felt at the close that as Father Sweeney well said the depart ed spirit had indeed fought the good fight.
 The committal services at the grave in the family plot of St. MichaePs cemetery were read by Father Swee- ney. The pail bearers all members of Bridgeport lodge of Elks were Joseph c. Ivers, Dr. c. A. Ryder, Sheriff T. J. Cunningham, George T. Mccarthy, Col. T. J. Murphy and James L. Me Govern. The funeral cortege was one of the largest ever seen in this city.
