BY THE oUT.EAsTER

The East End lost two upright and outstanding citizens during the past week or two, in the deaths of Wm. J. Daunag of e2 Laurel street, and Daniel J. Ale man of 20 orchard street.
 Mir. Daunais had lived on Laurel street for Q great number of years. All of the people up that way knew and liked him. For years he was associated with the Plume & Atwood Mfg. com. parry, Q steady and industrious man, dependable, under any and oil circumstances, q good church. man, and an honorable citizen. He was one Of those men close to his home and family, gave every. thing in him to his employer, paid hiS bills promptly, and lived life that brought peace and comfort not only to himself, but to the good family Of his name.
 We did not know the man pefs Sonaliy, but we had seen him 90 often to and from work, . stately figure, tall and erect, with somewhat Of Q military bearing, we got to know who he was, and where he lived, on ac. count of the striking impression he made upon IS. You know there are people just like this, with whom you are never brought iil contact, but who you have Tecogs nised ct different times by meet. ing them either in the street car or street bus in the section where you live. We admit we admired the man, VIC liked his stride, we were impressed by his pleagRfit greeting to those with whom he was acquainted, and also the ap. parent humility and niidness of the man. From the very first time we saw him, we pictured him aS c high grade individual devoted to his family, and aT as- set to the people of the iieighbog. hood. And this was the feeling, we afterwards learned, Of those who lived in the vicinity Of his home.
 MT. Daunaas retired 6 few years back, and so, was missed by those who used to meet him daily on his way to work. But to all appear anceS he was just as healthy and as strong as ever, even after his retirement. Yet, 1t may have been the good health he enjoyed" for so many years was about to leave him, and actually did in the end, and brought about his sudden end.
 But as we have related, we got comfort just in our observation, our study of his makeup, and the goodness of the man aS we pictured him.
 Daniel ,. Altman
 And then there was Daniel J. Altman of 26 Orchard street, buried Saturday, another person of character and reliability, a sturdy gentleman, quiet in man. ner and tone, and a credit to the eastern part of the city, his home almost from the very day he came to this country from Ire- land. Nearly every Easter, we mean the real Out Easters, knew Mir. Altman; he lived on Taylor street, near the Church of the Sacred Heart, and was em- ployed by the Scovill Mfg. Co. We doubt if he worked anywhere else; steady and ambitious, he gave close attention to his duties of his employment, and fulfilled in every way, the work allotted to him from time to time. And he, too, like MT. DaunaiS, was a commanding figure, although not so tall. But he was straight, quick in step. and moved rapidly upon all occasions.
 What an honor he was to the representatives Of his people, to the Irish of old Out. East, and to the Church of the Sacred Heart, which he had so faithfully at- tended from the days of the late beloved Father Hugh Treanor. The faith and slneercily of the real Irish have been manifest Co us eince VIC first associated with the sons Of these people back many years ago. Their kindness,
