Public Library were closed, a few eloquent words were sahl over the bier by William Jennings Bryan, the cof0n was closed, and a few minutes later It was being foi)owe<l to the cemeter> b> a long column of sorrowing friends. At the grave short addresses were made by Mr. Bryan„ Charles A. Towne and Joseph W. Errant. Mr. Bryan’a Tributi. Shortly after 11 o'clock the library doors were closed, A chorus of 250 male voices. from German singing societies sang a requiem, after which Mr Brj'an spoke as | follows, standing at the head of the cof-

fin;

"The occasion that brings us here Is one that excites sorrow and also gratitude-sorrow-that such a life has been taken from MS, gratitude that such a man^afl he had lived among us. In this material age. when so many are seeking to absorb as much of good as they can. It is Inspiring to find one whose ambition It was to distribute as much good as possible among his fellow-men. He verified in his own life the aaiing that it is more blessed to give than, to receive. He will be remembered not by what others did for him,

hut by what be did for others

"Not bis accumulations, hut his distributions made him great. What Utile of property he left will descend to those who Were kin to him, but what he left of greatest value will not go to tHbse of his blood or even to those who were intimately as80clata<l with him. It is left to all the world. And the world is better for the life of one whose love was boundless as the sea and whose heart was large enough to take in, every human being, and it was fitting that he should die as he lived, pleading the cause of the op-

pressed "

At the Grave.

Mr Bryan, Mr. Towne and Judge Edward F, Dunne led the honorary pallbearers as they left the library. The services at the grave were closed with a short addrcHH by Mr. Towne, who said in part: “I knew him well. I have seen him under all cirtuinstance.s—in times that have tried men's souls. Patient under measureless and undeserved calumny; self-con-tained amid the madness of faction: unselfish In an age of gain; charitable to Imorance and malice alike; firm In his reliatioe on the ultimate victory of Justlco ih the affairs of men In spite of every defeat: he was »n as just a man as e'er mj- conversation coped withal ’ ” Memorial Service In New York.
