four cayalrymen. rnv ~ whom stands
Oh each side, and one III each end, the
casket containing the body uf John Hay
lies IA SOLITARY state IN the auditorium
ur the chamber Or commerce, IL will
remain THERE All III to-day and until pi30
on Wednesday morning Everything
connected with the funeral Of the sec
rotary has thus far been Of the simplest
character, and Il Is tho intention OF the
members of the family 90 avoid the
slightest ostcntation or public display In
connection with the funeral The pub-
lie has not been admitted 10 view tho
body, and will not be allowed to see II at
any time.
Save for the fact that the hearse was
escorted Monday morning by a troop
Of cavalry on its way from the depot
to the chamber OF commerce, there was
nothing to tell tho casual observer OF
events In Cleveland that one or the
great men OF the nation whose namo
was known throughout the world, had
died. There was even an absence OF
flowers around the casket, compared
with the floral displays 80 often seen at
the funeral of lesser people. One large
wreath OF roses and sweet peas, and
two crossed palms caught and held to-
gether by broad band OF purple rib.
bon rested on the casket, and on the
floor at both ends OF the bier, lay two
other wreaths of roses. Behind the
casket was an embankment OF palma
and potted plants were scattered In pro-
fusion around the hall. The floral trib.
utes will, however, be heavily In evil
dence to-day and Wednesday. The
Cleveland florists are fairly swamped
with the orders that have been poured
in on them, and will have large forces
of men working all OF to-day In order to
prepare the floral pieces on time.
At $3.50 a. m. Wednesday the remains
will be taken TO Wade chapel, Lake
View cemetery, where brief services
will be held.
The order OF exercises in the chapel
will be very brief, nobody but tho
president, Rallbearers and members OF
the family being admitted. Tho chapel
ID so small that even this number will
tax It's capacity. There arc but eight
short pews In the chapel, and each one
will hold not over four,or Ave people.
Rev. DR.. Haydn, who will conduct the
services, will make brief prayer, and
two hymns will be sung by O male
quartette After the cagkct has been
lowered into the grave the exercises
will be closed by the offering Of d Sec
ond prayer. E .
For the near future the grave OF Sec
Rotary Hay will bo marked by a small
and simple stone bearing simply the
name and the years Of birth and death.
The intefmcntis 10 be In the lot owned
by the Stone family, ~ which Mrs. Hay
IN a member, and later, n tho present
plans Of the family are not altered,

committee that President Roosevelt
