C.—The Community of tlie Sisters of Mercy suffertrd a very great, shock when a message Hashed over the wire from New Or leans, brought tlie news of the sud den death during the night of April 16 of Sister Mary Frances. On the previous Wednesday the deceased religious left Belmont for New Orleans, accompanied by ano ther member of the Community, to visit ter only remaining sister who is in failing health aud whose home is in that city. Sister Frances seemed perfectly well and looked even brighter and liappier than us ual, being much elated over her trip and at the prospect of seeing her sister after many years of separa tion. New Orleans was reached' safely, die expressing her satisfaction that she felt none of the usual effects of the long trip. Later in the day she visited her sister and each eujoyed the pleasure of seeing the other. During the early morning of Sat urday the Sister who occupied the same room with Sister Frances was awakened by hearing her cough, and fearing that she was taking cold from an open window, arose and went to her, when it was found that she was suffering from a heart at tack and before medical ai<r could be summoned she had passed away Sister Mary Frances, who was known in the world as Miss Eliza beth Connor, was the daughter of the late David and Mary (Groves) Connor, and sister of the late wide ly-known and much respected Judge Henry G.

As a teacher, her kindness was the key to the hearts of her pupils, and men, now grown gray,., remember the gentle Sister Frances of their school life, and she still lives in their memo ry to call forth noble thoughts and high ideals. Among her Sisters in religion she was ever held in the warmest aff'ec tion and her life was an inspiration to all who knew her and who had the privilege of her friendship The body was brought from New Or leans and reached Belmont on Sun day morning whence it was convey ed to the Convent where it lay in state in the chapel. Visitors came and went all day, and each as they viewed the remains, had some kindly memory to recall of the dear, saintly Sister. On Monday at 10 o’clock it was re moved to the Abbey Church where solemn High Mass of Requiem was offered for the repose of her soul. Before the absolution was given the Right Reverend Abbot Vincent, O. S. B, D. D., Abbot-Ordinary” of Bel mont, spoke in beautiful touching words of the life and character of the deceased religious, pointing out lie sacrifice she made years ago of home, loved ones, and the society which her education and accom plishments were so well fitted to adorn, to work for the glory of God and the betterment of those whom her influences might reach. At the close of the Father Abbot’s remarks the funeral procession formed outside the cburch and pass ed on to the Sisters’ lot in the Ab bey cemetery, where all that was mortal of the beloved Sister Fran ces was laid to rest.
