Here the body of the beloved Car

assemblage OF churchmen in their re-
splendent Cathedral robes, distin-
gulshed laymen of the Church wear

the parochial schools and thousands of
the plain people who had known Car
dinal Farley priest and prelate. as
an American gentleman and one of
New York Citys best citizens.
The solemn funeral music, played by
the band Of the new 69th Regiment,
ceased when the hearse stopped in
front of the Cathedral. The pail
bearers lifted the casket on to their
shoulders and paused. A sharp mill
