by the church choir, assisted by Rev.
Father Winner, assistant pastor.
Bishop Walsh. at the close of the
mass, spoke a brief euIogy upon the
life and work of Miss Baxter in
which he outlined her life ASA young
girl and showed the successive steps
by which she came to wish to be ad-
mitted to the Catholic church, and
then gave a comprehensive state
ment of her important work in the
church, caring for the altar teaching
little children, directing the music
and visiting the sick and afflicted.
These works of mercy made her life
approach that of the religious order.
1t was her duty to her family that
kept her in the world, though she
cared little for the world and it's dis
fractions, and the world in general
knew little of her work for the
church, especially through the late
rector, Rev. John O'Dowd. The bishop
extended sympathy to the members
of the family and to all friends who
were present, and at the close of the
service pronounced the final absolu-
tion.-The Portland Press.

brought up to $50, 100000 by the re-
cent deposit of So 100000 with j. p.

marily because the United States is
virtually the only country operating

equally important reason that dol

that has been offered before will be
, provided at the Augusta Opera house
today by Hoyts Musical Revue
The musical comedy is Society Fol-

left on the good things when they are
passed around.
