1 Worcester, Mass. Oct. 3.--The city
of Worcester today bowed beside the
| body of her foremost citizen Senator
George F'rtsbie Hoar, while the state
of Massa chusetts and in large meas
ure the nation, sympathized with the
municipality in her grief.
| The funeral service was held in the
church of Unity. In harmony with the
unostentatious life of the senator and
| in accordance with his wishes, there
was no elaborate ceremony or display,
though the great love of the people of
Worcester induced the family to sub
ordinate their own feelings and admit,
| insofar as the very limited capacity of
the building would allow, general at
tendance at the church, and to permit
the body later to lie in state in the city
hall.
Rev. Edward Everett Hale, chaplain
of the United States senate, and life
long friend of Hoar, conducted the
prayers at the home just before 2 o.
clock, only members of the immediate
household and a few neighbors at
tending the short service. The remains
were then taken to the church.
| Four companies of infantry and
battery of light artillery under arms,
were stationed in the streets to aid
the police in the almost unnecessary
effort to control the greatest crowd ever
seen in the city. AS the hearse pass
ed every man barred his head and many
women sobbed.
At the church. service was opened
with the reading of a scripture selec-
ton. after which the hymn, "Oh, God
Orr Help in Ages Past" was sung by
the. choir. Prayer followed and after
the hymn awake Our Soul Away Our
Fears" DR.. Hale delivered a touching
eulogy. The hymn Come to the Sunset
Tree" concluded the service. The body
i was then conveyed to the city hall,
where it will lie in state until Z o'clock
thi, evening Tomorrow the remains
will he taken to Concord for burial.
In his eulogy Edward Everett Hale

in his home life feel as if no one else
knew how to prize him, tho the whole
country is expressing admiration and
tender love There never was Il per-

was something of course in his life and
