Obituary.
DEATH OF DR. EAGLETON, CARRAROE, GALWAY.
The TUAM NEWS of March 9th, contains a long
and feeling obituary notice of the late John Francis
Eagleton, M. D. M ch, etc., son of Mr. John Eag¬
leton, of Ballyveela, and maternal cousin of M. J.
Logan, Editor of the GAEL, which sad event took
place on March 2nd, at the early age of 26 years.
He attended at Lettermore a family stricken down
with fever, and with characteristic devotion and he¬
roism, he acted both doctor and nurse to the fever
stricken family who had no one else able or willing
to wet their feverish lips : he contracted the disease
and, in spite of the most eminent medical skill, he
succumbed to its virulence.
Carrare is a day's journey from Kilconly, the
burying place of the family, and in speaking of the
funeral, the TUAM News says, —
"The concourse of carriages, cars, horsemen and
pedestrians was truly wonderful, and when it
reached within a few miles of the burial ground it
was perhaps, the most imposing procession that
was ever seen in the West of Ireland. It was nearly
two miles in length, and the number of vehicles of
every description was about two hundred — the
number of horsemen and pedestrians being almost
countless."
The deceased took the highest prize ever
awarded when a student in the Queen's col¬
ege, Galway, and about eighteen months ago, the
Dublin Freeman's Journal noted the fact that he
took the highest diploma which could be awarded
by the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland. It is
sad to have to record the death of such a brilliant
young luminary, but God's will be done. He re¬
ceived the Sacraments of religion at an early
stage of his illness, and on the morning of his death
received at the hands of his good brother, Father
Mark, the Holy Viaticum. — May his soul rest in
peace.
The Usual Result.
It is not to be denied that a good sewing ma¬
chine is one of the most important appurtenances
of the modern household.
We thought we had a good machine until one day
the agent of the New HOME presented himself at
our door and proceeded to deliver an oration upon
its characteristic merits.
"But," we answered, "our machine suits as well
and we do not care for another."
The agent, however, begged the privilege of
leaving one of his machines with us "for the ladies
to try."
The request was not unreasonable, so we grant¬
ed it — but more to oblige the agent than anything
else; for we did not really want the machine, and
had not the remotest idea of buying it.
The machine once in the house, it was natural
that the ladies should look it over; they did so, and
as a consequence fell in love with it. They say
that without the slightest wish to decry or dispar¬
age any other machine, this, all things considered,
is, in their opinion, the most desirable one to be
had.
This unrivaled machine is manufactured by the
NEW HOME SEWING MACHINE CO., Orange,
Mass, and 30 Union Square, New York.
