4 THE FUNERAL TO-DAY.
The procession will begin to form
ht half past ten o'clock, the hour
when the services will begin. Ex-
cept invited guests in seats and
members of the Committees who
will stand, no one will be allowed in
the Park during the ceremonies, but
other spectators will be ranged
around the outside of the park, thus
giving many more a chance to
witness the scene than would
otherwise be possible. At the con-
clusion of the services the casket
will be placed on the funeral car by
a detachment of artillerymen un-
der Lieut.. Weaver and followed by
Ithe pail bearers, guard of honor,
family, immediate friends and dis
Itinguished men. The carriages will
take their assigned places in line
and the march to the cemetery will
be taken up. When the head of the
column reaches the entrance the,
funeral car and what is designated
as the funeral procession proper
the family and persons in carriages
will pass within while the rest of
the procession will halt, open orderl
and await the conclusion OF the
ceremonies, then fall in the rear and|
double on itself so that double line|
|of military and societies will extend
from the cemetery to the park. The!
|casket and dais will be put on the
funeral car and conveyed to the|
