Simplicity to a marked degree was at.
stendant upon the funeral of the late

terday morning at 10 o'clock from the
residence Of his son, S. ]. Donnelly, 81
Portland avenue
1t was apparent In every detail In the
rites that consigned the remains of the
great commoner to his last resting place,
even to the floral offerings, natures beau
ties generally profuse at the obsequies
of the prominent, being conspicuous by
their absence. A small floral emblem,
unmarked, and bunch of roses resting
on the casket, accentuated the simplicity
in this respect.
In life this grand old man." as thou
sands of his admirers were wont to call
him. had been adverse to the pomp and
glitter SO often marking the departure
of those that had gone before him, and
the almost privacy of his funeral yes
terday, were only in Difference to the
wishes oft expressed.
Despite the attempt to have the funeral
private, large number of the friends
of the deceased were present, and before
the final closing of the casket lid many
availed themselves of the chance to see
that face they so admired III life. Dis
ease, happily, had not married the visage
and the lips, once the fountain from
.
electrified, seemed the more prominent by
the restful expression that lowered over
all.
At the house the religious services were
conducted by Rev. Ambrose McNulty
Of st. Lukes Catholic church. No eulo7
gy was uttered by the divine, and at
the graveside in Calvary, the simplicity
was the same, only prayers for the dead
being said.
10 lori nd no
the remains rested in the front parlor,
a rich black casket, its shadows in pain
full contrast to the bold, well-molded
head and face of the deceased, contain
ing all that was mortal of the great
leader. The devoted wife, stricken in
her grief, remained in an adjoining room
and only appeared at the close of the
services on the arm of DR.. Ignatius DON
nelly, and was escorted to a carriage.
During the services number of beauti-
full selections were sung by a quartette
composed of Mr. Gehan, Mr.. Murphy
and Alfred and Albert Soucheray. A solo,
"Rest in the Lord" was sung by Mr..
Gehan
The funeral cortege, as it wended its
way to Calvary cemetery, was promi-
nent by the large number of carriages
and equipages, the hearse in the fore be-
ing drawn by four black horses, each in
mourning nets.

Among the throng who gathered at the
house and followed the remains to the
last resting place We're many from a dis
lance, relatives from Hastings and other
points mingling in the gathering. A
