KIND-HEARTED AHD SYMPATHETIC.

FUNERAL SERVICE IN STAINDROP CHURCH.

BURIAL IN THE ADJOINING | CEMETERY.

[ B Y OCR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, j It-is our painful duty to record the death ot

Lady Barnard, which occurred at Raby Castle on Thursday night, the immediate cause being bronobial pneumonia. As would be gathered from the statements made in this journal from time to time her Ladyship's oondition had been crit ical for several days. Lady Barnard had in faot been in indifferent health for some time, and her constitution waa by no meana sufficiently robust to withstand the severity Of the last attack. She entered peacefully into real—" the jewel of the just"—In the presence of members of the family.

Lady Barnard, prior to her marriage, waa Lady Catherine Cecil, th i rd daughter ot the third Marquis ol Exeter, of Burghley House, Stamford, and aunt of the present bolder of the t i t l e . She waa born in 1861, and waa married to Lord Barnard when twenty years of age. There have been three sons of the u n i o n -Henry Cecil, born September 19>h, 1882 Christopher William, born October 28th, 1888;

L O C A L A N D O T H E R N O T E S .

i'he Rov. E. K. Wilkinson, Curate of Romald­kirk , has been preferred to a l iv ing and vicarage near Preston.

The Rev. William Robinson, late of (Jueen street Congregational Church, Sheffield, who has been in India for over eleven years, under the auspices of the London Missionary Society, cousin bf M r Robinson, of the Temperance Hotel, Harmire, says that during the sixteen years the late Rev. Arminlus Burgess was missionary in India, he laid the best foundation of secular and religious knowledge ever accomplished by any man in the Madras Presidency.

The Pierrot Company of the 52nd Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers, which appears i n the Witham Hall to-morrow night, w i l l be found eminently meritorious. The troupe was organised by Captain Young, Chaplain to the Forces, who takes two or three concerted numbers, while Corporal Sugden is an exceptionally good turn. Private Pearson is a capital comic, and a bumper house is anticipated.

Corporal b'rank lllsley, of the Royal Army Medical Corps, and dispenser i n a reception hospital, has been promoted to sergeant-dispenser. We believe this is the highest rank a dispenser can attain in the Royal Army Medical Corps.

Four unimportant plaints only were entered for hearing at the Barnard Castle County Court, on Monday, and the si t t ing was not held.

The Bishop of Durham held continuations at the County School and Parish Church, Barnard Castle, on Monday.

and Ralph Frederick, born June 8tb, 1891 The eldest son, Csptain the Hon. H. O. Vane,

died from illness contracted on active service In France last Ootober, and tbia bereavement, very greatly accentuated by her anxiety lor her second son, now also in France, told somewhat heavily upon her already deolining health.

Lady Barnard was not only a moat devoted wife and mother, and deeply attaohed to Raby, but she had the atrongeat tileoiion and prldo for her old home, Burgbley House, and for the Cecil family. *

The " Tlmea " (London) says : " She w i l l be sincerely mourned by many friends, and not lesat by the tenants and workpeople of her husband's R»by and Teesdale estates, In whose welfare she ever took the elosest Interest."

At one time Lady Barnard was pxesident of the Women's Liberal Unionist Association at Darlington ; and enly a day or two ago was re-aleoted senior vlee-president ot the Barnard Castie and Startforth Nursing Association. She took the moat l ively conoern in the auooesa of the Raby Castle Flower Show.

Of late years, however, Lady Barnard had taken a diminishing share In political and public affairs, though in a l l benevolent organizations and institutions she ever extended wi l l ing and generous support. The indigent bad In her a.most sympathetic friend, and her assistance waa always judiciously given. Her charming manners made her Ladyship engaging as a hostess, and oon-splouously fKantertalnlng at Raby Castle the late King Edward, Princess Beatrice and her daughter, new the Queen of Spain, aa well as many other distinguished guests.

Quiet, Simple, Impressive Funeral. Completely divested of a l l appearanoe of

ostentation, the funeral took place on Monday afternoon, the aervioe in the more than eight-centurles-old pariah church of Staiodrop, wi th i ts turret flag aalf-maat high, being memorable in Its simplicity. The coffin waa rested on a oatatalque at the weat end of the sacred edifice, and, ad the chief mourners entered the time-honoured lane, Mr T. G. Fraokton, the organist played that balm ol hurt minds, " O, rest in the Lord." The chancel alalia were draped In cloth ol ecolesiaatloal purple hue, and arum lilies and exotics arranged by Mr Tullet, the head gardener, lent softened and restful beauty to the aoene. The robed clergy present were the Lord Bishop of Durham (Dr Moule), the; Rev. E. H. Mais, the Bishop's ohaplain, and the Rev. I. E. Phillips, View of Staindrop and Private Chaplain to the Lord of Raby, who conducted. The hymns were most appropriate, tbst of Stephen the Sabalte, translated by Neale—"Art thou weary,art thou languid, art thou sore distrest ?" being sweetly rendered, while the beseeebiog, consolatory and confiding oblstion In verse by H. F. Ly te-" Abide wi th me, fast falls the eventide ! —was sung with eqsal tenderness.

The90 u Ps»:m was intoned, and the Bishop impressively read the 15th chapter; ot Corinthians, from verse 28, wbloh is incor­porated in the servioe appointed for the burial of the dead, and while the mourners left the church the skilful organist played Chopin's Funeral Marob. The aervice was brief but touohing,

Lest the statement that the drapery In the churoh was used at the funeral of the late Duke of Cleveland should descend Into mythical lore, perhaps this is a favourable opportunity to aay that i t waa provided by Lord Barnard for the funeral of His Grace's widow, Duehesa Wlihelmlac

The ohlef mourners were Lord Bsrnsrd, Lady Enid Vane, Captain the Hon. and Mrs R. F Vane, the Marquis of Exeter (nephew), and Lady Barnard's two brothers—Colonel Lord William Oeoll, C.V.O., and Colonel Lord John Joloey-Ceell, and Lady Louisa Cecil, >aer aister, and Lady Katherine Vane, H tughton Hall, wile of Colonel the Hon. W. L- Vane.

Amongst-those who were unable to be present were Lord Bsrnard'a sister (the Hon, Mrs Rennell); Lord and Lady Newlanda (Lady Barnard's sister); Lady Frances Cecil (sister) Mr Ban Cecil (nephew); M r R. Battle Wrightson (nephew) In France ; the Hon. l i r a Gilbert Vane (Lord Barnard's sister-in-law) ; Captain E. C. Sowerby (Lord Barnard's agent f i r the Raby Estates in Shropshire; ; and Mrs C T. Fogg-Elliot.

I t la regrettable that Captain the Hon. K i t Vane, who ia the eldeat surviving son, snd heir-at-law to the Raby Estates, who, aa a dutiful soldier ia again i n France, was unable to be present, but i t was very doubtful from the first that be would get news of his mother's death in time to allow blm to pay hia last tributesto the memory of hia affectionate parent. f

Othera preaent inoluded Mr H. L . Fife and Miss Fife, Mr C T. Pogg-EUiot, Mrs Millard housekeeper, and Miss BaUey, lady's maid.

Nurse Douglas, who haa been Lady Barnard's devoted attendant for some time, and waa wi th her Tin the final hour ot her earthly pilgrimage, was present at the last scene of a t .

The entire responsibility and oredlt tor the funeral arrangements rested wi th Captain the Hon. Ralph Vane, who waa assisted by Lord Barnard's private secretary, Mr Fogg-Elliot Mr H. L . Fife, the ohlef agent; M r T . W, Applegarta, of the estate office, and others,

Heads of departments were personified in Messrs i. Paweett, T. Bewiok, H. Buckle, I . Toward, E, Hodgson T. W. Applegartb and E. C. Borises.

The coffin was ot plain oak and unvarnished, with black Iron fittings. The following was the toaonpMon Catharine Sarah, wife of

the fi in Baron Barnard: born Apr i l 8 th, 1861: died 14th March, 1918." The coffin was placed in the private ehapel at Raby Castle, on Saturday night, where i t remained t i l l Monday afternoon. Mr C. T. Fogg-EIUot carried on a orimaon cushion the decesaed lady's coronet.

Friends and neighbours attending Inoluded Lady Havelook Allan, Lieut. Armstrong, wi th Msjor MoBuUdook, representing Colonel the Hon. W. L. Vane ; Mr W. H. Ralston, repre-

tlng Lords Strathmore and Glares ; 8lr Alfred Palmer, Miss Nesham, Mrs G. Iiodgsoa, Revs. W. Apter, J. R Gardiner, R. W. Young, Messrs Herbert Straker, 1, t. Bell-Irving, I. Smith, J. H. Holmes, T. O. Nicholson (repre­senting W. J. and H. C Watson), John Robeon, " W. Hartley, E. D. Trotter, A. 8. and W. H. Summerson, P. Widdas. A. F. Garthwalte, G. G. Robson, Misses Raine, Mrs F. S, Beadoo, M r Arthur Copeland, M r W. Woodhead, and M r Riddell (representing Mr W. G. Morant, Chief Constable of Durham County, who was ebeant through illness), and a numerous body of tenantry, the castle staff end estate workmen, halt-holiday being observed by the latter.

The Vioar of Staindrop continued the service at the cemetery, and the Bishop reverently pronounced the committal sen­tences, and gave the benediction. The grave, which was lined wi th ivy, is shaded by I r i sh yews in the near distance.

A van load of wreatba snd floral souvenirs, the 8 J were and fruits of love, reaohed the graveyard, numbers being of exquisite white­ness and of refreshing odour.

Many were the sincere expressions of sympathy tor Lord Barnard, who bore the ordeal In al l the manliness o l silent grief, but waa visibly sffsoted at the close.

PULPIT REFERENCE AT FOREST. A feeling ot wldea oread sorrow haa been

occasioned in the Forest and Harwood dlstriot by the death of Lady Barnard. Far some years past her Ladyship had regularly apent a few weeks at Middleton House, and often drove or motored to High Faroe and Langdon Beck, so that ahe waa well-known i n the dale. Much regret waa felt when ahe was unable to come last year, but we al l hoped that we might have the pleasure of weloomlng her next summer. The news came aa e great shook,and very since sympathy la f e l l tor Lord Barnard and his family In their bereavement. Preaobing in Forest Pariah Obnroh last Sunday evening, the Vicar (Rev. A . T, Randle) referred to the aad event, and mentioned that on behalf of the parishioners of Forest and Harwood, as well as himself, he had already oonveyed to Lord Barnard the asauranee of their reapeotf ul sympathy.

LOCAL MILITARY MARRIAGE. A wedding whioh evoked much local Interest

was solemlsedIn the Roman Catholic Church, Barnard Castle, on Thursday, when Lieut. R Morton, D.L.I., elder aon of Mr and Mrs R Morton, of the Turk's Head Hotel, Barnard Castle, and Miss Theresa Marios Ooulthard, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs H. Ooulthard, of Montalbo House, Barnard Castle, were united In holy matrimony. Both partiea being well known a large number of frienda were )resent to witness the nuptial oeremony. Fhe Rev. Father Darley officiated. The bride,

who was given away by her father, was attired in a dress of Ivory white satin, wi th wreath and veil. She carried a handsome bouquet of lilies Miss Clare Coulthard, the bridesmaid, wore a dress of shell pink taffeta s i lk ,* wi th hat to match, and carried a bouquet of pink carnations, Lieut. R . Sayer, of the K.O.Y.LI . , was best man. A reception waa afterwards held at the home of the bride's parents.

V Death o« the Rsv. Charles Pettier.

I t le wi.h n i i e m a regret that we have to rec >rd the passing away ot the Rev. Charles Pettier, the superintendent minister of the Teeedale Circuit ot the Primitive Methodist oonntxloo, M r Pettier took charge ol the Teeedele Circuit In 1914 end hie ministry has been marked by a devotion to the religious Interests of the people whioh endeared hiss to all hearts. Although the circuit le e very scattered one, he waa a pastor i n the real sense of the word, and the dalespeople, cautions ar d undemonstrative as tbey are, displayed as

I action tor blm that was deep-rooted aad su epre. M r Pettier enffsred from heart flection, b n i the er d came very enddenly on
