Death of Good Woman. 5 (Salt Lake Tribune.) j Hundreds of Salt Lake people will be t sincerely grieved and shocked to learn j of the death of Miss Helen Hayes of h Ely, Nev. Though never a resident of 1 this city, Miss Hayes was, through her many-noble charities and her beautiful jj disposition and character, very well ;i known here, and her demise will in- i; deed cause heartfelt sorrow. Especial- ly will her untimely death be mourned g by the members of the Catholic faith, jri for with them particularly was she associated as-sociated during visits to this city, and ;i they especially loved and revered her ; for her true worth and value as a good, p pure, Christian woman. By her charl- ties, in which she was always most mod- S est and unassuming, she brought joy j and happiness to many a home; many a sufferer has had her to thank as an an- a gel of mercy, and so sweet and gentle was her disposition, so sincere and good ' her life, that she was sanctified in the ' hearts of those who knew her best. She was a thoroughly good woman; a Chris- 3 tian woman, whose place in the lives of those who were associated with her '4 will be hard to fill. Salt Lake people ; not personally acquainted with Miss G Hayes knew her and respected her through her gift to the Catholic people & of the city of the beautiful $10,000 or- j?; gan in St. Mary's cathedral, and the fc fact that this magnificent edifice is to '$ be dedicated in the near future adds ,S pathos to the death at this time of this j most charitable woman. A Miss Hayes was very, wealthy, owning jt the largest mercantile establishment in j Ely, besides a large hotel, valuable min- ing property, ranches and cattle. She f visited in this city about two months h ago, and at that time increased many- 3 fold her long list of friends, and all will i feel her loss keenly. ;i The passing of Miss Hayes, a woman I of such priceless virtues, at such a time i of life, is one of the mysteries of life k. and death, yet it was the will of the E; Supreme Ruler she had served so well. ' Her reward of eternal peace and happi- ness has been well earned. ii Cardinal Gibbons on Abstinence. Chicago, Aug. 4. Cardinal Gibbons, head of the Roman Catholic church in the United States, and recognized as a hearty supporter of the cause of temperance, tem-perance, last evening declared that enforced en-forced abstinence in Chicago and other oth-er large cities would be impracticable. The revocation of all selling licenses, he declared, would result in surreptitious surrepti-tious sale of liquor. His eminence expressed these views just before leaving Chicago, after having hav-ing been in the city for seven hours. "I am heartily in sympathy with the total abstinence movement," Cardinal Gibbons said. "It is a wide movement and I hope it will spread to the most remote cerners of the nation. In the rural parts of the country there is every ev-ery sign that the .agitation must mean success and widespread prohibition. "However much I am in favor of total abstinence, though, I feel that in the. large cities, such as Chicago, it would prove impracticable, and if laws providing for the revocation of licenses were enforced in these cities I fear the result would be the surreptitious sale of liquor. "The problem is one which will require re-quire much time and the best efforts of our legislators and statesmen to solve, but, judging from the results already obtained, I and every one else cannot but feel that the total abstinence movement move-ment is going on toward a successful end." |
