MRS. ALBERT PATRICK
DIED IN OKLAHOMA
NEVER CEASED WORKING FOR
HUSBANDS RELEASE WHILE
HE WAS IN PRISON.
GBy Associated Pressl

Tulsa, Okla, Dec. 19.-Mrs. Albert
T. Patrick, wife of the man who was
convicted of the murder of William
Marsh Rice, the millionaire, and who
was pardoned, died today with her hus-
band and children at her bedside here.
She spent small fortune working for
his release.
This semes a pathetic ending for a
life OF such devotion as was manifest
ed by this frail little woman. After
her husband was convicted for the
burder of the Texas millionaire, and
was sentenced to die, she never lost
hope and never stopped working.
Through his long struggle for freedom
she was always near him, cheering and
consoling, and when he was finally
released she received him, though
coming from prisons gloom, with
open arms. That death should come
so soon to her after her brave fight
and victory semes almost tragedy.

pei the Spaniards because their lives
were in danger here, and it was neces-

guarding their own interests. In Chi
huahua majority of the Spaniards

FIFTY WERE CONFIRMED.
The BishOp breaches Before Large
Congregation at St. Anne's
Church.

A elass of fifty, men, women, boys
and girls, were confirmed last night
at st. Anne's Church by the laying on
Of hands.
The Bishop, Rev. j. G. Murray, d.
D., preached TO one of the largest
congregations that has ever assem-
bled at a confirmation service at ST.
Anne's. The church was crowded TO
the doors, every seat was occupied.
For his theme the Bishop took the
words in the Prayer Book said by the
Bishop as he lays his hands on the
head of each one to whom he admins
tiers the rite of confirmation: DE
fend, oh Lord, this Thy child with
heavenly grace, that he may continue
thine forever, and daily increase in
Thy Holy Spirit more and more until
he come under thine everlasting
kingdom"
Each part of the text was made
special theme for the discourse, The
Bishop taking the text up in detail.
Among the fifty confirmed were 26
men and "a women and of tie number
there were six midshipmen and three
St. Johns students.
The vested choir sang very sweetly.
Especially beautiful was the rendi-
ton of Gounod's "Send 0It Thy
Light" At the close of the service
the devotional hymn "God Madest
Earth and Heaven" was a very effec-
tive feature of the service. After the
service at st. Anne's the Bishop con-
firmed a class at St. Phillips.
