Throngs Mourn at Prelate's Bier
Body of Archbishop Montgomery Lies foSt^sim&^Mary's
3odj- of Archbishop Mojitßonirry Lytns In State In the Chapel of St.Mary* Cathedral, Where. Throngs of Devoted Friends Viewed the Peaceful Counte
nance of the Departed Prelate Yesterday.
Eeverer.t throngr: of people, filed in
aad out of the chp.pel of St. Mary's
C&thedrcJ all day and evening yester
day to view, the body of the late be
loved Coadjutor Archbishop Montgom
ery, which, robed in the purple garb of
his office, lay stretched on the bier. A
sUver.cruciflx. pmblen of the master of
.wlioin the dea.d prelate called in the
last moment of his life, stood at. his
'head. On. either fide three tall tapers,
heavily draped in black velvet, shed
'their dim light over the scene. Close
'to the bier, .brushing against It, passed
a constant stream, of people. There
>wer« rich and poor alike, for the Arch
bishop was the friend of both equally.
There were old men and women tot
|t«inK along with tbe aid of canes, *nd
lyouais, strong men with faces cct v in
etern lines to hide an emotion that
would reveal itself In twitching lip and
eye, Black-robed Eleters of
the, different Catholic orders came with
heads . bent, and faces, which, though
schooled to subdue emotion, showed a
sincere and deep sorrow.
Children from the parish school were
marshaled by their teachers and stood
on tiptoe to look upon the benign face,
c*Jm In the serenity of death. Some
were too small to pay attention to any
thing except the magnificent robes of
lace and silk, or to do aught but touch
with • wondering fingers the thin black
crape that covered the bier. Others
looked with solemn faces at death, pre
sented-to them perhaps- for the first
times \u25a0 but none . seemed .frightened; it
was cruch a kindly - face to look upon,
even death being unable to take away
Its \u25a0 serenity.
- CHITKCH DRAPED US BLACK
While the chapel was filling with
worshipers, the great organ burst forth
with a - peal -of solemn music and tbe
choir rendered appropriate songs.
While special services . were being
held in the chapel In. the afternoon, tbe
church above ; was : being draped with
black, and black was hung before the
windows, veiling in a somber cloud the
colored floods of , light passing through
their panes. " The loving hands of 'the
sisters were busily employed *in mak
ing, everything ready for the funeral.
Between 6 and 7 o'clock in the even-
Ing the chap<>] was closed for a short
time, while the body was being placed
In the casket, and in the meantime the
Jialls and the street outside filled with
people, waiting patiently and talking
to each other in low tones of the late
Coadjutor Archbishop, of his many
dec-(3« of klndnr-P" and his life passed
In untiring service of his fellow-men:
"He was always there when you
wanted him," seemed to be tbe burden
of the little Incidents related to show
« how tbe Archbishop was ever ready, to
put his personal comfort aside \u25a0when
called upon to render assistance to
those who needed it.
"He was loved by all," paid an old
woman, wiping her eyes, as she sat on
the stairs, waiting.
, "He was just the same to every one,"
said the boy In attendance.
When the doors were opened again
the church filled instantly and again
the sad procession filed past the body
;of the Archbishop lying now in the
casket covered with purple velvet.
MESSAGES OF COXDOLEJVCE
Telegrams of condolence are coming
by hundreds and are piled high on
Archbishop Riordan's desk. Cardinal
Gibbons of Baltimore and all the arch
bishops and bishops of America, as
well as a great number of private per
sons, have sent messages expressing
sorrow at; the death of the Archbishop,"
admiration of his . character and sym
pathy with the'people of San Francisco,
on whom the, loss has fallen most
heavily. From Rome nothing had been
heard up .to last night, the many for
malities connected with the sending, of
a message from the Vatican probably
having caused the delay.
The arrangements for the funeral
will be completed today. The usual
vesper service will be omitted Sunday
evening, and Instead the clergy of the
city will chant the office of the dead
at about S o'clock.
Monday morning at 10 o'clock. the
solemn requiem mass will be celebrated,
in the cathedral for the repose of the
soul of Archbishop Montgomery. The ;
celebrant will be Bishop Grace of Sac- :
ramento. assisted by the clergy of, the
city. The sermon will he preached by;
Bishop Conaty of Los Angles, and the ;
absolution aftf r the mass, which is \u25a0
part of the requiem services, will be
given by. Archbishop Riordan. It is
also .-expected that Bishop ODea of
Seattle and other church dignitaries;
from all parts of the country will be
present at the funeral procession to the
Holy Cross Cemetery..
The body will remain in the chapel
until Sunday/ afternoon at -2 o'clock,
when it will be, placed on a catafalque
before the high altar.

Important part of the funeral cortege;
TUB SAN : FRANCISGO V GALU, SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, ; 1907/
in which will be representatives also
of nearly every Catholic organization
in San Francisco. . ;'>;
Archbishop Montgomery organized
the League of the Cross Cadets about
fifteen years ago and the success of
the organization has been, largely- due
to his constant' effort and • attention.
For this reason the league is to have
especial consideration at the funeral. ; :
At the meeting last night it was
stated that many, of- the -.uniforms of
the cadets had been burned In the April
fire and thus it was decided to segre
gate in the march all those in uniform.
Those not in uniform will follow the
uniformed ranks. , -
A special delegation^from the cadets
will attend the services in the cathe
dral, as there .will, not.be room : there
for more. The regiment will; form. at
Sutter and' Franklin .streets at 10:30
o'clock ' Monday \u25a0 morning and " will be
ready : to take its, place in line as soon
as the cervices are -over. The. funeral
cortege will be under the, direction of
Police Captain Henry Gleeson,, and; the
line, of .march-.wlir.be from St. 1 Mary's
Cathedral to.^tne. Valencia-street; sta
tion.. A delegation of the cadets 'will
follow the remains ; from that " place to
the -cemetery. f^jSjSSpjj&CT^lfMjlTi
The funeral cortege will Include! the
KiTlghts of Columbus, the Toung Men's
Institute, the Ancient Order of Hiber
nians and other Catholic organizations*.
It will not be possible totaccommo
date ail the friends, of ..the; late ,Arch^
bishop in the cathedral,- and ithus It has
been . arranged that admission .will ibe
by ticket.
All officers and.Tetired officers \u25a0of the
League of the Cross Cadets 'have 'been
asked to mcet ; at; 3:30 o'clock Sunday
afternoon in Native, Sons' > Hall,,Gough
and Geary streets, when- further plans
for the funeral will be, . discussed. '7%;
