a strong and pathetic appeal for the
souls. He praised the keeper of our
cemetery and the people in general
for the keen interest they manifest
ed in the upkeep of the resting place
of our dead, and interest which made
the cemetery of st. Mary's and st.
Bartholomew second to none in
the city. The Dration then showed
how consoling and soothing to bro
ken hearts is the devotion to the
souls, and brought many tears to
the eyes of his hearers in his appeal
for help for our beloved ones who
are suffering. The effect of this ap-
peal was seen in the pious manner
with which the subsequent prayers
were recited. AS the procession

religious feeling answered the pray

crowded with visitors, all intent on

anywhere. Mervin Umbach is show 9
Ing up well, especially in fouls. Al

ngs of sterner men than those who T
parade the floor of the H. N. G.. C. :
Gus Knowles seems to be indefati- =
fable. He will play basket ball all

nile course for a rest. The club
