IN MEMORIAM. Mrs. Mary Pearl. There was buried from Sacred Heart church, with solemn high mass of requiem. Saturday. June 10, Airs. Mary Pearl, who was held in great esteem by many of all denomination!?, especially the old-timers. They had a higli appreciation appre-ciation of her many virtues, her sterling sterl-ing honesty, her strong' Irish faith, her spirit of simplicity and her charity to all in need. Long and painful was her illness, but happy, peculiarly happy and 1 blessed, was her death. But we nat- u rally expect that a pood life shall be j crowned by a happy death. le!i an orphan at an early age, she loft her country, Ireland, and arrived in Philadelphia at the asre of 12 years. She took serviee in a family at $1 a -. k, but with the condition that she siimild bo allowed to hear mass on S1111-d.'iya S1111-d.'iya and holy days of obligation. She rn tly loved her church, and was in ai! things obedient to its requirements. I.i aving Philadelphia, she went to California, Cal-ifornia, where she manifested the same spirit of piety and industry. There she married .Mr. Pearl, like herself, a de-out, de-out, sober and edifying Catholic. They started for Denver, but her husband died on the way, in Salt Lake City, where the bishop himself attended hint faithfully in his last illness, and manifested mani-fested the greatest kindness and consideration con-sideration for the bereaved -widow. She often spoke of the charity and kindness of the yood bishop. Arriving in Denver Den-ver she resumed her life of toil and piety. Many of the old-limeis remember remem-ber hei. and were e;lih'ed by her unassuming un-assuming piety, her industry and her chario. Having acquired some money, she purchased a piece of property, Ahi'-h, in process of time, became quite H!uali-. ami the sale of this enabled her in her declining years, when ill health rendered her unable to work, to live in comfort and independence. She had served her Ood faithfully and he r':rd"d her. evfn in this life, with length of days a il a cotnnetency. In her inst. loiifj sickness she experienced tiie same charity and kindness she had r'!cised toward others, and was s'-rvc.l with on re than a daughter's lve and a child's devotion. Tin- gentle, saintly Father Faber says sumo where (I quote from memory) that the life nf any man. even the most commonplace, if it could all be written down with all his thoughts, joys, fears, aspirations, hypes, t i-mpt at ions, sue- sses and failures, would be more interesting in-teresting than a poem. For some, life t is a failure, a comedy, a farce, for some a tragedy.

She has had a zeal for thy glory and has faithfully served thee, the Creator Cre-ator and Lord of all things. Depart. Christian soul, in the name of God, who created thee." As these words were uttered, a gentle breath, and with a smile of peace and contentment, the soul left the body. May she rest in peace! N T'.ie closing exercises of he Mount j 1'armel school, in charge of the Mis- I fiouary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of I Jesus, will be held at the Broadway theatre Sunday, June 25, at 2:30 p. m., and will be of an interesting character. The sisters have secured a magnificent site on Boulevard F. Kocky Mountain lake, for their Industrial school and orphanage, and hope their friends will help them in the;r great undertaking. The public in general, regardless of i reed. should rally to the assistance of these noble women, who have sacrificed everything near and dear to the human hu-man heart for God's homeless and suffering suf-fering orphans. Mother General Foundress of the order is here from the south and anticipates anti-cipates a generous response to the ap-1 ap-1 : peal of her pisters. who are working - hard for the glory of God and the salvation sal-vation of souls. They will go from home to home and give each and every one a chance to exercise their charity. Bishop Matz Dedicates Hospital. on Saturday last Bishop X. C.
