Everything in ritual and adornment and music sug- gested the triumph of the rasurrection, as well as the significance of the word Easter itself, which is the Anglo-Saxon term for dawn or spring. On the three altars, ascension lities and’ ‘day- break carnations succeeded the severe- ly simple or sombre plainness of arrange- ment during the forty Hays of Lent, while large decorative baskets holding spring flowers were advantageously isced at points within the sanctuary. e attendance was very large at all the masses at 7.30 and 9 there ~were so many to receive holy communion, follow- ing the Paschaltide confession and pen- ance, that two priests were required to administer the Eucharist. ‘The. solemn hizh mass at 10.30 was celebrated by Rev. Myles P. Galvin, Rev. Danje] F. Sullivan being deacon . and Rev. Philip J. Mooney sub-deacon. The customary afternoon vespers was omit- ted, in its stead benediction of the Eless- ed Sacrament being given by Father Galvin_followed this' mass.

X HIS LIFE WITH SHOTGUN Morris Corcoran, 63, shot and killed himself with a double-barreled shotgun Saturday morning about 4.30 o'clock ‘in the rear of his home on Huntér's avenue. Temporary derangement due to the re- sults of a nervous breakdown suffered last November, was the cause of Mr. Corcoran’s act, -according te the finding of Medical Examiner C. C. Gildersieeve. Since November Mr. Corcoran had been in ill health which necessitated his re- tirement from business. He had beén un- der medical attention and was thought to be on the road to recovery. Mr. Cor- coran, who had been unable to sleep Fri- day night, secured the gun between 4 and 4.30 o'clock Saturday merning and passing through several :rooms in the house where he placed the muzzle under his chin and pulled the trigger. The charge from both barrels tore away the side of his neck and face and death was instantaneous. Shortly after 4.30 a member of the family awakened and discovered that Mr. Corcoran had left the house. The fam- ily, with the ald of neighbors, searched the immedia‘e vicinity but it was not un- til a member of the family discovered that theé gun was missing from the house and looked out of the attic window that Mr. Corcoran's body was found lying near a shed in the rear of the house. Medical Examiner C. C.. Gildersleeve was notified and aftgr an examfmation of the circumstances. Undertaker George G. Grant was given permission to remove the body to his morgue. Mr. Corcoran was horn in Ireland o Feb. 1, 1858. He came to this, country when 24 years of age and, taking up his residence in Taftville, had lived there since. For the past eighteen years Mr. Corcoran had been employed as a con- struction foreman by Archibald Tor- rance, contractor. He was united in marriage with Miss Margaret Lucy of Lawrence, Mass., Sept. 118, 1887. the marriage taking place in Lawrence. To this union six children were born.

It wag also brought out that the ex- penses of production are still high; one of the big items, although comsidered by the public as of little account, is the matter of caps and bottles which cost from two to three times as much as be- fore the war. Although the cost of grain and labor is somewhat lower, yet equip- ment for the dairy and farm machinery are stil] high in price. . e OBITUARY Archibald 8. Spalding. Archibald S.
