"Nearer, My God, to Thee"
A Gridiron Club quartet. composed of
Messrs. Herndon Morsell Alexander Mosh-
er, J. H. Kaiser and John H. Nolan, then
sang with impressive effect Nearer, My
God. to Thee"
The entire ceremony had been one of un-
usual impressiveness, but it was enhanced
to degree that was almost inspiring by
the sweet comfort borne in the words of
that beautiful hymn.
The scene also suggested another link in
the chain of affectionate remembrance that
connected the late senator from Ohio with
so many people in official and private life.
The quartet was seated In the press gal
iery. where there were gathered represen-
tatives Of all the leading newspapers of the
United States and many of foreign coun-
tries who had known Senator Hanna well
and whom he counted among his friends, in
many instances his very near friends. The
correspondents were there to join in the
tribute to their friend. The senator's last
public appearance had been as the guest of
the Girdiron Club at their annual banquet
at the Arlington.
Senator Frye simply stated that the re-
mains of Senator Hanna would be taken to
his home in Ohio to their last resting place
May God cOnSecrate the life and death
to us who love him well"
The Gathering Dismissed
Rev Dr. Hale then dismissed the as
semblage with the benediction. The fam
lily of the late senator then retired, fol-
loved by the President and his cabinet.
the Supreme Court of the United States,
the diplomatic corps. members of the House
of Representatives. and the Senate was
formally adjourned until tomorrow at Il
o'clock.
Many persons who had occupied the gall
leries during the service left the Capitol
building with apparent reluctance 1t was
not generally known that the remains were
not to lie in state, and as soon as the
people were dismissed a crush occurred
around the Senate chamber doors by rea-
son of the large numbers seeking admis-
sion to gaze for the last time on a face
known widely and loved by all. The order
to clear the galleries was given. however.
and within half an hour the chamber and
the galleries had been closed against the
public. The remains were left at rest in
the closed chamber surrounded by the floral
offerings and under a guard of Capitol
police.
The body of Senator Hanna will remain
in the Senate chamber until O'Clock this
evening. when it will be taken to the Penn
sylvana railroad station. At o'clock
a special train will bear the body and the
family of the late senator to Cleveland
where the interment will take place Friday.
The special train bearing the committees
of the Senate and House of Representatives
that have been appointed to attend the
funeral will not leave until tomorrow.
