CARDINAL NEWMAN'S FUNERAL
Every Respect is Paid to the Great Cardinal by
Anglican and Romanist Alike.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Cable
BIRMINGHAM, Aug. 20.-The funeral of
the late Cardinal Newman began with the
singing of pontifcial high mass at the ora
tory at Edgebaston and ended with the in
terment of the remains yesterday after
noon IN the private burial grounds attached
to the oratory, the retreat at Kendall,
Worcestershire. The crowd which gathered
to see the funeral was one of the largest
ever seen. 1t was orderly in the extreme
and allowed nothing to mar the solemnlty
of the scene. Many of the people were
visibly affected and all joined in an express
preston of regret for the death of the car
dinal and of regard for his memory. The
favored few who were admitted to the
church were the principal dignitaries of the
Roman Catholic church in England. The
church was crowded to the utmost capa-
city, every seat being filled. The chancel
was thronged with clerks and in the cen
tire was the choir. Resting on a catafalque
was the coffin covered with its pail of pur-
pie velvet on which was a white shield
bearing the arms Of the deceased
cardinal and his motto. Displayed
under it while lying at the foot of
the coffin was his purple hat, one of the
symbols of a cardinals rank in the church.
| The mass was the Gregorian and no hymns
were sung. The only special feature of the
| service was that there were five abSolu-
| tions of the body instead of one as is usually
the case. Precisely at II o'clock the pro-
| cession of priests and fathers of the oratory
with seventeen bishops in full vestments
entered the building and slowly moved
along the centre of the aisle dividing on
each side of the coffin and taking up their
position in the choir and in the chancel

bishop of Birmingham, occupied the late
