Rev. Fntlier William A. Ncalon's
Funeral Yesterday.
Ono of the most Impressive funeral
put held In this cltv was that which
v.-iis "ht'Id, .vestordpy riioniliifr ni tho
Roman" C'rtihiillc church of St. Rose do
Lima. The services ovi'i- the body of
the lani('iit-il Hov. Father William A.
Nc.ilnn. who died In far-off Kentucky,
away from home ami kindred, were of
tin- incut Imposing character and wore
,v llne'ssed liy an exceptionally largo
.tviinber of church dignitaries and by a
.congregation that tllleil St. Rose chinch
to the uttermost. The- lttn- of carriage
was, without exception, ia longest
'-oi assembled at a funeral In this
illy, and the; procession which followed
thej remains or the priori to the feme
fry (if St. Hose was composed of a
throw; which wan the greatest since
iho beloved Father t'arcw was laid In
his last resting place.
Father Nealon had been a priest at
St. Hone's church for five years and
had many friends who did their utmost
to pny their last respect to him. Al
though the services In tho church were
not to take place until 10 o'clock, these
friends commenced to assemble at the
church as early as S o'clock, and Ion?
before the hour set the church was
illlr.d, with the exception of the pews
reserved for tho family and kindred.
The funeral cortege left the resi
dence of the departed one's parents,
lion, and Mrs. John Nealon, on South
Church street, at 10 o'clock. It nrrlveu
nt the church ton minutes later. The
coflln was escorted by a. delegation,
twelve In number, from tho Hyde Park
council, Catholic Mutual Benevolent
association, of Scranton, of which
Father Nealon was a charter member.
It was met at the entrance to the
church by a delegation of priests. The
casket was covered with black em
bossed broadcloth. A silver crucifix
was on the top at each end and In the
centre a silver name plate bearing the
name, "W. A. Nealon."
The altar was draped In black, the
aisle candlesticks rested In black urns
and every appointment betokened the
deep mourning and the solemn cere
mony of the Itoman Catholic ritual
pertaining to the solemn high mass of
tequiem, tho beautiful and Impressive
service of the dead.
Upward of forty pilests were ushered
from a rear room and took seats within
the sanctuary after the casket had
been brought up the centre aisle and
left in front of tho altar rail. When
they had all filed In they, lu unison,
commenced the chant for the office of
the dead, while Fathers Curran, of
Wllkes-Barrc, and Hanley, of Hones
dale, led the responses. This sublime
ceremony was rendered most effective
by its being sustained without the ac
companiment of the organ, and as the
tialnocl voices of the predates swelled
and gained In volume, and fell again
to a low, walling tone. It produced an
effect that could not but be felt by
.nvery person within hearing.
After the allien for the dead the sol
,cmp high requiem mass was cele
brated. Father MotTltt, or Taylor, was
.iclebranT: Father Moylan, of Suseiue
tia'nifn. deacon: Father Loftus, of
Srst'iiton, sub-deacon, and Father Grlf
'lln,' of .Scranton, master of ceremonies.
Paring the mass Miss May Mount
sans the "Ave Marie" of Gounod In a
most effective manner.
liluht after mass and prior to the
.ceremony' of blessing tho coffin, HI.
licv.t'rhomas F. Coffey, rector of the
'cdintGlr, "ma'de'a brief nddress. He be
ftuih by-saying that no other object
than a wish (o pay his personal tri
bute to a priest who Ijnd long been
nvoclated' with him would have
brought him out In his present physl
al condition. Father Coffey was still
very weuk, and plainly showed the
oficcts of his recent extreme Illness,
lie uild that frailty was plainly
Pinniped In Father Nealpn's face, as
ltwas on the face of all, and that
tthrt't Irrw "would come when that frailty
murd succumb before the mighty ma
IejUy of death. He said that Father
Ncalun was dear to the Lord because

WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES
Regard Peruna as Their Shield Against Catarrh,
Coughs, Colds, Grip and Catarrhal Diseases.
SIRS. DELTA L0CKW001), LATK CANDIDATE FOR TIII5 PRESIDENCY
Mrs. Belva Lockwood, the eminent barrister, of Washington, t. C, !
the only woman who has ever Iwcn ri candidate for the Presidency of the
United States. She Is the best known woman In America. As tho pioneer
of her sex In the legal profession she has gathered famo and fortune. In a
letter to The Peruna Medicine, Company, she says:
" I have used your Peruna for both myself and ray mother, Mrs.
Hannah J. Bonnott, now in lior 88th year, and I find it an invaluabl
romedy for cold, catarrh, hay fover and kindred diseases ; also a gpod
tonic for t'eeblo and old people, or those run down, and with nerves
unstrung." Belva A. Lockwood.

"Peruna has done wonders for me.
It has cured my headache and palpi
tation of tho heart; has built up my
whole system. 1 cheerfully recimi
mend Peruna to nil sulTeiers allllcted
with rntatrh. My mother Is never
without Peruna. When ono Is tired
nnd generally out of sorts. If Peruna
is taken It Immediately removes that
tired feeling."

the cause. Inflamed mucuous mem

The monument Is chipped, statues nre
marred, fiaginenls are e-ut from Hi
furniture and hangings of the senate
and house of representatives, ami
names? have been scratched Into the
marble and on the bronze doors, but
something holds the most ruthless In
check when he comes to tho Supremo
court.
The court Is the on place where
groat formality Is observed, and wit
nessing the Impression It makes upon
the public one may readily understand
why tho people who have recently
come to us from under the Spanish
rule of civil degradation and official
splendor should feel that there must
be deficiency when- official function
aro not conducted with pomp. It can
not Justly bo said that the ceremonl
ousness of, the Supreme court Is accom
panied with pomp and splendor, but
there Is about It a formality, reserve
nnd enfrced decrum which Is Intended
to be Impressive, and Is so. When tho
hour comes for tho court to rouveno
a barrier of velvet covered lopes Is
stretched across tho corridor, so as to
preserve a .clear passage from tlm
consulting room on one side of tho
corridor to tho court room om the
other. This blocks the passage from
the house of representatives and the
rotunda of the senate, and for the brief (
space or time it inices un- me jumiwa
to pass Into the court no one- may go
beyond the red lines of ropes. Sena
tors, representatives, the president
himself, should he happen thre. must
wait. The members of the court, the
chief justice nt their head, with their
black robes wrapped about them,
inarch In a solemn process-ion, sing!"
Ill", from tho consultation room across
tho corridor, through the lobby of the
court, to their places on Iho bench.
ThlH ceremony oecuts whenevet tin
court passes in or out of tho court
chamber, and there Is Invariably nt
iho hour of their assembling n crow 1
of curious sti angers grouped on either
side of tho barrier to view this mani
festation of dignity. Many icniove
their hats us the court llles by, and on
every face is an expression of respect
and Interest. No oMircsslon ol Im
patience? escapes even the belated yon
ntor who Is delayed by tills in ce.,son
as llet hull Irs U leae.li the seuuio
chamber In time for prayer.
Thero li no talking; among thc spec
tators when the ceiurl Is in session,
and even when the bench Is vacant arul
stra tigers nr- vlowlng the deserted
chamber they usually speak in whis
pers. An old white bearded colored
man who sits at the (loop Is the pe..--souillcatlou
of sllenco and ellgnity, nnd
thu sight of hlni Is enough te niak
those even of frivolous mind grow
grave and walk on their tlp-toe. He
silently, wlih perfectly noiseless mo
tion, opens the door to each comer and
as noiselessly closes It again, or. If
the I'lmmher Is full, stands with lis
back to tho door, and. without saying
a wend, keeps others from iitteniptlni;
to eiitor. Newspaper icportors aro
not expected to sit lu the Supi-oni-i
court loom. If thev enter they aro
I expected to be as other vhltors and
Mrs.
have catarrh, madam., They will
generally reply, 'Oh. no, I never had
catarrh. My nose Is perfectly clear,
and my breath Is not bad. I am not
troubled w 1 1 h
coughing orsplt
tlng, or nny
other dlsaflivu
able symptoms
of catarrh.' But,
my dear madam,
you " may have
catarrh all the
wme, Catarrh
Is not always
located In the
hend. Yin may
have catarrh or
the lungs, or
stomach, or liv
er, or kidneys,
and especially
you may have
catarrh ot thc
pelvic organs."
Tho doctor
Mrs. Julia C, Bron
of Pccatonlca, Ills.,
says : " I have used
peruna in my nome
tor the past fouryears
and am trior uglily
convinced that it is a
reliable family rem
edy.'" JuliaBrown
! went on to say:
"I have been
nr caching this
doctrine for tho Inst forty years, but
there aro a vast multitude of women
who havil never heard It yet. Catarrh
may attack any organ of the body
Women arc especially llablo to catarrh
of tho pelvic organs. There nre one
hundred cases of catarrh of the pel
vie organs to one of catarrh of the
bead. Most people think, because they
have not catarrh of the head, they
have not catarrh at all. This Is a
great mistake, and Is tho cause of
many cases of sickness and death."
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use or
Peruna. write at once to Dr. Hart-iii-iii,
giving a full statement of your
case and he will bo pleased to give
you his valuable advice gratis.

When Chief Justice Fuller was In
stalled nn exception iaa made, after
much Influence- had been brought to
bear and after long deliberation, and
a certain limited number of newspaper
men were provided with seats within
the bar of the court. Probably half
a dozen such were admitted, and on
the desk provided for each was a
J quill pen nnd n little square bottla of
Ink, which they were expected to use.
I When the Kentucky case was belnw
jnigued orders were given not to ndmlt
newspaper men generally, even m th
capacity of visitors.
The other day two lawyers met In
finite of the court room, nnd one r?
minded the other that, though ho had
on a black coat, his necktlo was pur
ple. The lawyer with thg colored tl
had been In the court, room, but the
. other could not venture In bccnur.c
not expecting or. leaving home that
he would visit the capltol, he had worn
! a light spring suit, "lawyers oppear-
I Ing within tin barn' the court, though
1 they are meio spectator,', must wea-

lumpen If one should appear before
the court In a light suit Is not known.
for no one has had tun temerity to
try It. The dignity and decorum of
the touit goes a long way In prevent
ing that loss of respect that usually
comes from tocf great familiarity, and
its etfect is apparent to nn observer.
