California; Regents and Faculty;
members Chamber of Commerce
San Francisco Stock Exchange; Pa
cific Stock Exchange; citizens, not
organized; members of the family in
carriages; friends of the family in
private carriages and other carriages.
The civic display was very fine. 1t
was preceded by the workmen who
are engaged on the Palace Hotel,
numbering four hundred and fifty Z;
employees of the Cornell Watch Fac
tory, Kimball Manufacturing Com
pany and West Coast Furniture Com
pany turned out in full strength.
The Scandinavian Society, with
which was Incorporated the Lumber
mems Protective Union, numbered
about one hundred and eighty. Tenn
plar Lodge Of Odd Fellows, of which
deceased was a member, mustered
very stronghold of total MEM
bership of five hundred, over four
hundred joined in the procession.
The San Francisco Stock Exchange
and Pacific Stock Exchange were
early on the ground, over fifty men,
bers of the latter being present. The
Regents and Faculty of the State
University with the students followed
after the hearse, and made most i'm
posing feature in the cortege; they
were followed by members of the
Chamber of Commerce walking two
abreast. Citizens, not organized, fol-
lowed in thousands, and, at every
block, received very large increase.
At the cemetery We're crowds
of people. There were women and
children chiefly there, and they had
been for hours waiting for the GER
emony. The cars to Lone Mountain
came crowded with people and it
looked as though the city had ad-
jonrned to the cemetery; the coffin
was taken into the vault and depos-
tied on tresties. The Noble Grand of
Templar Lodge No. II I. o. o. F.,
Frank Kennedy, opened the services
of the dead with a quartette. Messrs.
Trebane. Titcomb, Maxim and Ma
guire sang and played the hymn,
"Solemn Strikes the Funeral
Chime;' Chaplain Mr.. Hemphill
delivered an address; they then
walked around the casket and depos-
tied sprigs of Acacia, and once more
sung, "Thy Will BE Done;" then
came the last prayer by the Chap
lain. Mrs. Ralston and her son sat
by the body as it lay upon the tres.
ties. During the ceremony the crowd
seemed TO sympathize with her
grief. There was none of that curl
osity apparent which is generally
shown at the funeral of a public man.
The casket was then deposited IN the
vault, and the procession wendell its
way back to the city.
A amber of cases were reported
to-day, in which commercial paper
has gone to protest, in some instances
of pronounced firms, but no dispo-
sition is shown to take any action on
protests. In the majority of cases
notes have been partially paid and
renewed.
