Thousands Weep at the Bier of Coadjutor Fivefold Rite of Absolution Is Given Hushed beneath the cloud of a great grief, 'the life of the city paused yesterday in its course while the funeral cortege of Arch bishop George Montgomery passed through the streets at noon. The pageant of sorrow, the swell of emotion^ smote an answering chorci in every heart. From the deep-toned diapason of the cathedral organ, that quivered on the air. like a naked heart throb; to. the mute appeal of the golden : crucifix, , borne aloft by a (white-robed priest before. the bier, the obsequies of the prelate, loved and dead, told the loss that had come to the living. ' It -was the articulate presenta tion of the church's sorrow and her confidence in immortality, but its ' very magnificence awoke many; a". memory, of human sor row. In . the streets through which the procession passed men paused from their work and stood with 'uncovered heads." while the cortege went by. There were tears, for the beloved Archbishop, and; .there were other tears : that told-; of .; memories awakened \u25a0. and the "strife .of hope and death that every, 1 heart hides.
