The wedding comes as a big surprise to the many admiring friends of the bride lie re, as it was gsperally under­ stood that the wedding was not to take place until this fall. The wedding1 was a quiet home affair, there being no one present but the immediate members of the families of the prin cipab. The bride wore a blue chiffon broad­ cloth tailored suit, with a plumed hat to match. Her shoes and gloves also corresponded with the balance of her trousseau. The attendants were Miss Charlotte Peege and Mr. Manfred P. Whitten.

A fifiil CLERGYMAN GONE REV. A. MEHRING A LEADER AMONG PIENE HUNDREDS VIEW HIS BODY WHILE IT LAY IS STATE IN THE BEAUTIFUL CATHE­ DRAL WHICH HE BUILT. Rev. H. Mehring, a short mention of whose death occurred in these col­ umns last week, was born at Ramel- dingen, Luxenburg, Germany, Sept. 5, 1832, and died at St. Scholastica acad­ emy,: Chicago, June 25, 1911." When a small boy he expressed his desire to become a priest and after fin­ ishing the course in the common school at the place of his birth, he began his studies that afterwards made him one of the best clergymen in the arch­ diocese of Chicago. He completed his studies and was ordained a priest on August 22, 1858, at Trier, Germany. He remained in the land of his birth until the year 1874, when he came to America. Upon his arrival in this country he spent a short time in doing missionary work, after which he re­ ceived his first appointment, this ap- [>ointment being to Immaculate Concej>- tion church at Kankakee, III. He re- n.Uiinu nt Kankakee until the year i^S4, when he was ap|K>inted to St. John's church at Johnsburglk, 111., and where he remained until August, HKK It was thru the beloved pastor's own request that he was removed to St. Scholastica academy, 7430 Ridge Ave,. Chicago, in August of 1908. lie pre­ sided at this place in the capacity ul chaplain up until the time that his health would not allow further activ­ ity. At the time that he asked Arch­ bishop Quigley to be removt d Imiti Johnsburgh he gave as his renson that he had all the affairs of the Johns­ burgh church and parish in good con­ dition and that he was ready to pre­ pare himself for death, which he said he expccted would come soon. We stated in last week's issue the body of the Reverend Father was shipped to McHenry Tuesday night of last week and from this place was con­ veyed to the church over which he presided so many years. Here the body lay in state all night. The mem­ bers of the Catholic Order of Foresters of Johnsburgh were with the remains all night. Before the pastor's death he made all arrangements for his funeral and the place where it was to be held, and it was to fulfil his request that the body was brought to Johnsburgh for burial. The remains, while they lay in state, were viewed by nearly every grown-up resident of Johnsburgh und many McHenry people who at one time were m"tubers of the Jqhnsburgh parish. The sight of t^e pale face that was once full of lifp t^u^ht. tears to the eyes of qe»rly all who yle.wed the body. Strong men as Well as women broke down and wept bitterly as they looked upon, for the last time, the countenance qf him who had ac­ complished so much for them while fulfilling the duties of their pastor anc^ spiritual advisor. On Wednesday morning, -the day of the funeral, it was found that- the spacious cathedral, which is consid­ ered one of the "largest in the state, was far too small to admit the multi­ tude that had gathered to show their last esteem to Rev. Father Mehring. The lunei al services were o|>encd at eleven o'clock when the sixteen priests present recited the prayers for the dead. This was followed by solemn requiem high mass. The Rev. Joseph F. Schmiit, pastor of St. Joseph's church, Aurora, a former Johnsburgh l»oy and a member of the Johnsburgh parish while Rev. Mehring was pastor there, was given the honor of being the celebrant at this mass, while Rev. A. Royer, pastor of St. Mary's church at this place, preached the German sermon. Archbishop (Juigley of Chicago, who was also present, preached the English sermon, which was pronounced by all who heard it to have been the best ever listened to at that church. The archbishop s|»oke of the deceased pastor in the mqst glqwiqg terms and praise(l the work th»t had been ac­ complished by him in a manner that kept every ear in a most attentive mood. He told of how; Rev. Mehring worked hard and faithfully to fulfil the mission to which he had pledged himself when ordained a. priest. In a social way he pictured Rev. Mehring as the life of the company wherever he happened to be present, and as to his religious work he expressed his belief that no better qualified man was ever ordained a priest. He also placed special praise as to his singing and preaching and the general zeal with which he was blessed. The arch­ bishop further pictured Rev. Mehring as a leader qf men, ^nd that in the building of the heautiful cathedral at Jqhnshurgh he accomplished a thing that has never before and probably never again will be equalled in this country. Thi» cathedral represents an outlay of about #60,01)0, and when one takes into consideration that the mon­ ey for the building of this structure Wib subscribed and raised by the citi­ zens of the little hamlet of Johnsburgh one «•-*" easily realize and recognize Rev. Mehring M a leader of men- The work also displayed the great confi­ dence that his parishioners had in him. Besides the building of the beauti­ ful edifice, which in years and prob­ ably generations to come will stand as a monument to him, there are many- other things that place him as a leader among men, among the more impor­ tant things tieing that he was the first pastor to introduce the Gregorian chant into his choir after its encyclic by Pope Leo XIII., his choir being a model for all choirs in the archdiocese of Chicago. He also worked most un­ ceasingly for the education of the chil­ dren of his parish and was instrumental in building St. Joseph's school. That he also was a firm believer of sociability is taken from the fact that he erected, during his administration, a hall to be used for entertainment, purposes. In fact, all his efforts were for the interests of Johnsburgh and his parishioners. While no longer a pastor at Johns­ burgh at the time of his death, his vis­ its to that place during the past three EHEK RESORT DOINGS ALONG rox ram AT PISTAKEE BAY AND ' COMMODORE JAMES MICH'S BOAT "DIS­ TURBER II" WINS RACE AND PRIZES AT DUBUQUE. IA. The Chicago trains last Saturday brought over two thousand people to the river and lakes. The shore along the Dr. Streuh sani­ tarium at Orchard Beach never looked prettier than it does this summer.

His many friends at Pistakee Bay are pleased to learn of his success. The season at the Honey Dew Gun club cottage was formally opened Sat urday by a party of fifteen who will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Burke for the next two weeks.

The "Oriole" camp on the west shore of Fox river, next tathe Ore-hard Beach sanitorium, is agaih inhabited.
