Greatly Beloved by Members of Uppe
House.

WASHI NGTON. ID. c., June 10
The news of the death of Dr. Hale
reached the Senate early in the day and
was received with general expressions
of regret No figure had been more IA
mjlar about the precincts of the Senate
than that of the venerable chaplain and
no person was more respected or beloved,
by his unaSSumlng manner and genial
disposition he had become II general ia
NOrite with the senators and employees,
while his distinction in the world of
letters and theology had caused him To
be generally sought out by strangers.
Whether to n friend or casual visitor
he was uniformly courteous, and it is
now remembered by those who knew
him here that he never failed TO receive
nor TO treat with courtesy those who
sought him ont. On account of his nd
vanced age he had in recent years be-
come so feeble that he was unable To
rise to greet visitors. and this fact
seemed always To be n source of huml-
intion to him. He never failed to ex-
cuSc himself for what he seemed to re
gard a discourtesy.
DR.. Hale became chaplain of the Sen
ate, December II, 1903. He received
his appointment through Senator Frye,
who was acting rs vice president The
selection was made at the instance of
Senator Hoar, who had been DR.. HaIc's
life long friend. DR.. Hale during the
greater time of his chaplancy in Wash
ington used Frye's committee room as
an office. Accompanied by n private
secretary Dr. Hale would repair TO the
committee room half an hour before the
converting of the Senate and there re
main receiving friends until the time for
his appearance in the Senate chamber
lie always wore Il long clerical robe
when officiating, and made the prayer
service of the Senate impressive rather
than pcrfunctory 1t was his habit TO
repeat the Lords prayer and for many
years after he assumed his office he
would ask the senator's To Join with him
in doing so. On account, however, OF
repeated failure TO obtain II response he
ut last desisted in his practice, but he
never himself ceased the repetition of
that prayer as part of his own Offering
As long IA he was able to do so DR.
Hale made it practice Ia visit the
senator's ut their seats, and he was per
sonally known TO all of them. 1t is not
usual for the Senate to take notice of
the death of one of its officers, but II Is
probable n departure will be made in
this instance.
President Taft, upon being informed
of DR.. IIale's death sent telegram Of
confidence To Mrs. Hale.
