An Incident at the Funeral of Charles

Independent, of March, Goth in an article
on the life and death of Charles Sumner
after speaking, among other things, of the
graceful act of the Presidents young
daughter in laying wreath of lilies upon
the pulseless breast of the great States

feet of the great Statesman They were

ladies' resting parlor off the Senate gallery
She is Of light brown complexion, and, on
account of her color, few years since

street-car, dragged after it, and seriously
injured. Her present position has often
been sought by white women but through
the many dangers which have threatened
her place Mr.. Sumner proved her stead

way to the Capitol she pointed to this
beautiful shaft of fl0wers-by far the most
exquisite which reached his coffn-and with
streaming eyes said: Il haye lost ma

flowers, and if they had cost the last cent

upon the coffin card with this inscrip-

the martyred Senator, who has gone tc

rich, and everything seemed well managed.
But the singing, as a whole, fell short of
public expectation. 1t lacked the power
and spirit to infuse enthusiasm and as a
consequence there was little and weak ap-
plauso. Only once did the house come
down with right hearty and universal ap-
plause, and that was when Miss Lizzie
Plummer daughter of DR. S. C.Plummer)
sang, Within Mile of Edinboro Town.
The encore was tremendous, in answer to
which Miss Plummer sang Coming through
the Rye" with charming effect.
The song, ''Ye Merry Birds, by Miss
May Atkins, was well applauded, and
The Three Fishers" was prettily sang il
answer to the encore.
Miss Mary Sargent, in the song, "Wait.
ing, lacked confidence in the start, bul
rallied and finished finely, and was loudly
encored. She sang Where are you goinl

encore, and grew better the more she
