ly buried in consecrated ground
in st. Philips Episcopal church
cemetery, will be left to the
board of churches, and globes

night.
The vote followed the advice
of Rt. Few. Granville Gaylord
Bennett, D. D., suffragon bishop
of Rhode Island.
The dog was buried several
weeks ago at the request of a
parishioner, who said it was his
wife's death-bed request that

two factions and at one time
brought out police to prevent
violence.
