have forgotten to whom they owed
their success In life.
At the present time there are
fifteen children at the home ranging
from three TO eighteen years. These
children have been taught at the
school, provided for and kept by
Sister Joseph. When funds were low
she never appealed to anyone for
help. but found some way of tiding
over the hard places. A short time
ago she bought a large property on
South Broad street. which she plan
ned to use as winter home, the
home west OF the city being so far
from church and town.
When her death occurred yester-
day the children in the home were
inconsolabie. No greater blow could
have come to them. II was
indeed pitful sight to see
them, from the youngest to the
eldest, sobbing out their grief
over the loss OF the kindest person
whom they had ever known.
Mrs. w. l.. Hixon, who has been
warm friend of Sister Joseph,
went to the home and took charge
Of the arrangements, until the rela-
tiyes should arrive.
Survived BY Two Brothers.
Sister Joseph Is survived by two
brothers and q number of nieces
and nephews. Her brothers are
Simon Crehan of Batavia, New
York. and Thomas Crehan. OF Buff
falo, New York, both of whom are
expected to arrive here tomorrow
The funeral arrangements will be
made after they arrive.
When the seriousness of Sister
Joseph's condition was realized word
was sent to Mr.. and Mrs. F. J.
Arkell and Mr.. and Mrs. L. w. Ga.
lour of Iona, all of whom arrived
here yesterday.
Educated ey Sister.
The two ladies were brought up
by Sister Joseph and were educated
as teachers. making their home at
the Sacred Heart Home until their
marriage. Mrs. J. II. Hughes OF this
city is also one OF the young women
whom Sister Joseph mothered.
The wonderful work of Sister 10.
seph was not generally known, she
being a woman of quiet, unasuming
and modest ways. However, any one
who visited the home was treated
with the greatest hospitality and
courtesy and found her glad to talk
Of her work and explain her methods
Of teaching the children. Those who
knew her most intimately have the
highest words OF praise for her un-
selfish life.

New York, May 1i.-City, state
and nation joined in paying tri-
butte to the dead from Vera Cruz.
Perhaps not since the Dewey parade
has there been such a spontaneous
demonstration.
Under ideal weather thousands up
on thousands, many with little black
bows and others with black sleeve
bands gathered at Lower Manhattan
to march about the city hall and
the lined approaches to the Man
haitian bridge. Finally the great
throng arrived at the navy yard
where eulogies were delivered.
President Wilson arrived from
Washington shortly before seven
o'clock. He took no part in the pro-
cession, but stayed for a brief time
Mt the residence of close friend,
Colonel HoGsex, where Mr.. Wilson
breakfasted. Then he went to the
navy yard for the ceremonies.
The Hero Dead.
The hero dead were brought
ashore in seventeen flag-draped cot
fms and placed on the artillery CATS
sons in the Plaza of Battery park
The procession was led by TWEEN
ty-four mounted police. Besides them
were the combined bands from the
Dreadnoughts Wyoming and Texas.
Behind the bands marched 900 Blue
jackets from these ships. Next
came the collins single file. At the
side of each rode q policeman. At
the corner of each caisson trudged
national guardsman. Behind the
last caisson came thirty-six carriages
the first being occupied by President
Wilson and the others bearing the
secretary Of the navl, senators and
congressman, members of the new
York legislature and city Officials.
President Delivered Address.
President Wilson had no formal
address prepared for the ceremonies
at the Brooklyn navy yard. Secretary
Daniels read to him the names Of the
nineteen American dead in whose
honor the services were held. The
presidents reply was delivered with
slow impressiveness. His voice was
! low, fervent and grave as lie
| spoke in eulogy of the grave young
men who gave their lives without
hesitancy at Vera Cruz.
