dampness through the heaviest clothing,
the crowd at an early hour began 20 gather
in the vicinity OF the oratory, and every
minute IL gained In size. IL was composed
largely OF workingmen and their famllies,
and on every side could be heard express
sions Of love for the man who had devoted
SO much OF his time and talents 20 bringing
about bettermeut In their condition.
"He was good 10 the poor" many people
In the throug were heard 10 eNclRim. SO
dense was the crowd aud so thick was tho
fog that traffic in the vicinity OF the oratory
was brought 10 a standstill Hundreds of
mounted policemen and Constables on foot
were present 10 maintain order, but they
were seldom called upon TO do moro than
speak gently 70 the crowd 10 have their or
ders obeyed.
