 mate To Officiate

BOSTON, Nov. 10.-Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, who in life was a figure apart from the mass of the nations legislators, among whom he moved with distinction, will have funeral services in which old associations will be main. tained to the end and in which his simplicity of tastes will be preserved The services at Christ church, Cam. bridge, on Wednesday at noon, with Bishop Lawrence, his schoolmate and college classmate officiating, will be more nearly those of the man for whom friends of lifetime mourn than oi the senator who has passed after a not able career.
 Although it was suggested by Cover. nor Cox that the bier be taken to the capitol on Reason Hill to lie in state the senator's family decided to make no change from the home on Reason street of Dr. Sturgis Bigelow, his boy. hood chum, where the body has rested since few hours after death last night Dr. Bigelow is seriously i'll, and cannot attend the funeral, but the thought that it was there the senator would choose to lie, within block of Lis fathers home prompted the decision.

 "A great man has gone from us. The character of his long public service may be measured by the highest standards and it will not be found wanting. He never avoided struggle for the priu ciples which he embraced and he met such contests with the vigor and grasT of an outstanding statesman. His broad culture and intellectually were known not only to his eountrymen but all over the world. His talents would have made him eminent in any walk of life"
 The governor ordered that the state departments be closed during the hour of his funeral and that the flags throughout the state be placed at hall staff.
