Cleveland. O., Feb. 19.-Cleveland was
again a city of mourning today. Busi-
ness was practically suspended and
large proportion of the population paid
hon age to the memory of their dis
tinguished fellow citizen, Senator
Marcus A Hanna Just four weeks
ago today Senator Hanna left his home
city for the nations capital, happy in
the thought of his triumphant re-elec-
ton to the highest legislative body in
the land. His one ambition then, as
he himself stated, was to give to his
country q season of uninterrupted
service. To a few friends before his
leave taking the senator expressed a
sentiment that seems to have fore
thadowed an event of the future:
i am tired and think 1 have earned
q rest If I can go to Washington and
simply attend to my duties as senator
/ shall be happy" he said
Just as dawn began to break over
the city today the doors of the Cham
Der of Commerce auditorium, where
the body lay was reopened to vast
throng of people who desired to view
the face of the dead senator. The
long lines of people stretched away
until they exceeded in length the five
blocks reached during yesterday after
noon.
The early hour of opening the doors
to the chamber brought thousands of
men with their dinner pals on their
way to their daily work. In such num-
bers did they come, however, that
many were unable to remain in line
and consequently were deprived of
last look at the face of the dead
statesman Early morning brought
many excursionists from surrounding
towns and these too helped to swell
the long line. Thousands who had
hoped to have an opportunity to pass
by the bier of the dead senator aban-
doned the idea when they saw how
hopeless was their chance of gaining
admission. Several thousand who stood
in line waiting their turn were also dis
appointed when the doors to the
prepare for the removal of the body to
the church for the funeral services.
