LeIlOA, NdSS-, Aug. 1t"1 ne
 funeral of Andrew Carnegie was held today at Shadow
 Brook, his summer home in the
 Berkshires. There was no
 culogy and there were no pail
 bearers. The service was as
 simple as were the tastes and
 habits of the man in life.
 The body reposed in a severely plain casket, placed in the center of the room and all but hidden in a wealth of floral pieces. The mahog- any of the casket was covered with heavy black broadcloth. A small name Ilate of silver bore only the inscription, Andrew Carnegie, born 1885. Died Lenox, Mass, August Il. 1919"

 clergyman, Dr. William Pierson Mer- Till of the Brick Presbyterian church. Fifth avenue, New York, which the Carnegies attended and of which Mrs. Carnegie and her daughter, Mrs. Ros- well Miller, were members. The day
 upon which his daughter Margaret
 united with this church was de-
 clared to be the "happiest day of
 his life,'' and Dr. Merrill has said
 that with advancing years MT. Car
 negie gave evidence of increasing in
 terest in the society.
 A mixed quartet from this church
 sang the three hymns which have
 been the favorites of the philanthro-
 pist and former iron master. Dr.

 N. Wyman, pastor of the Lenox Con- gregational church, where Mrs. Car negie frequently worshipped during
 the summer months.
