That is fair statement of the changed conditions

TRIBUTE
Paid Father RiIey's Mother
by the Fail River
Globe.

Though she had attained a great
the venerable mother of Rev. Father
John H. Riley, of Shelbyville, which
occurred at her home at Fall River,
Mass, swas widely regretted. The
esteem in which she was held was
evidenced by the public and press,
the following tribute being paid by
the Daily Globe:
"Mrs. Mary Riley, wife of Daniel
Riley, and one of the oldest and most
respected Catholic women of Fall
River. died last night at her home,
1895 President avenue, after linger-
ing illness. Deceased was seventy
nine years of age, and up to a few
years ago had enjoyed the best of
health; she was always in the finest
of spirits. greeting her friends with
the same kindly words that charac-
terized her whole life. About two
years ago she suffered a paralytic
shock, the results of which she con-
.quered temporarily, but which
finally weakened her and sapped her
strength away until death brought
to an end the life of one of the most
intellectual and refined women of
this city. Mrs. Riley was born, in
.Berehaven, County Cork, Ireland, in
1884. and came to this country with
her parents in the year 1874. They
at once started in business, and in a
very short time had won the respect
and admiration of all their neigh
bors for their thrift and devotion to
church affairs. Mrs. Riley was one
of the very few Catholics who could
boast of the fact that she received
the sacrament of confirmation at the
ceermony of the laying of the corner
stone of the present st. Mary's
Cathedral, which was at that time
the old ST. Johns church, of which
Rev. Father Edward Murphy was the
rector. Mrs. Riley was blessed with
o splendid memory and remembered
the event of the confirmation very
vividly, Bishop Fitzpatrick, of Bos-
ton, comforting the sacrament. In
1856 she was married to Daniel
Riley. Her matrimonial life was
one continued state of happiness and
devotion for her husband and chill
dren, whom she held high above all
other matters about her. The
couple were blessed with three chill
dren-Daniel w. Riley, the we'll
known real estate broker; Rev. John
H. Riley, a highly respected priest
of Shelbyville, KY, and Miss Jennie
L. Riley, of this city, who will re-
ceive the sympathy of the COM
munity in their bereavement"
When the sad news Of Mrs. Riley's
death reached Shelbyville the people
there at once telegraphed their SYM
pathy and a floral design and ar
ranged for a solemn high mass of
requiem upon the return of the
bereaved son.

EVENING POST.
Still MisstatinE Facts In
Proposed Schwind
Ordinance.

Although exposed in recent state
mems of the residents of West
Chestnut street in regard to the
Schwind switch ordinance, Editor
Knott still continues his pernicious
campaign of misstatements against
the General Council and William ].
~. Preuss, one of the resident owners.
His main charge against Mr.. Preuss,
which he repeats over and over
again, is that Mr.. Preuss, now rate
clerk of the State Railroad Commits
sion, formerly worked for the L. and
~ railroad, but does not explain
what bearing that has on the case,
even though that gentleman was in
the employ of that road for twenty
five years, which to a disinterested
outsider seems as If he must GER
tainly have been giving satisfaction
to his employers. Mr.. Knott's anger
seems to be greatly aroused because
the members of the General Council
won't allow the Schwind Brothers,
who are partners of the Evening Post
in the coal business, to construct a
switch in the neighborhood Of
.Thirty-first and Chestnut, even
though it may injure the property of
the residents who are protesting
unanimously against the ordinance.
To show that Mr.. Preuss is not the
.cnly objactor, the following names
ere signed to the protest: p. H.

noon in the large hall of the knights
of Columbus on Fourth avenue, with
an attendance that was most crafty

sided and a goodly number of new
members we're enrolled. Excellent
reports were made by those having
charge of special work at the School
of Reform, the County Jail, the hos

ports from the conferences gave
great satisfaction and showed that
during the past quarter an immense
had been done, some Of the confer
ences even incurring debt in assist

delivered an able address
upon charity and the work of the St.

given the closest attention and his
words viii have a good effect upon
all who heard them. Rev. Father
Donahue, of the Cathedral, and
Father Deepen, were called upon and
spoke words Of encouragement to
the Vincentians, who are doing noble
work. Sunday morning the confer
ences attended their respective
churches and the members received
holy communion in a body.

quietly and unostentatiously does it
work that but few realize the field
