NOTES
Tens Of thousands of visitors are coming
into Washington, Trims loaded to their
fullest capacity follow each other in rapid
succession on all the roads, and the city
promises to be crowded almost as much us
on Inauguration day, Everybody wants
tickets OF admission to the rOtunda to the
funeral services tomorrow afternoon, and
high prices arc being offered for them OF
course thousands must be disappointed,
rs the rotunda will only hold about thir.
teen hundred, and the tickets are all in the
hands Of the family and relatives Of the
dead President, the cabinet officers and
members OF Congress
There Is scarcely anything in the face OF
the dead President to recall that manly,
kindly CountenanCc, which was so familiar
to the people here, His long suffering re.
duCGd him to mere skeleton, and his skin
Is discolOred and tightly drawn. In TAX.
Ing plaster cast OF his face the lower jaw
was forced down, giving an unnatural eX.
preston TO the face, and many who had
admired him in life regretted that they had
looked at the corpse.
The ventilation OF the rOtunda hal not
been properly attended to and towards
evening the air became thoroughly vitiated.
Several persons tainted during the evening,
and i've members OF the Army Of the
Cumberland on guard became III and were
Obliged to 90 home.
At o'clock this evening the face Of the
CAsket was closed and further view Of the
body was denied to the public. This was
made necessary by the rapid progress OF
discoloration Of the forehead and face.
DR.. BoyntOn was delegated by Mrs. Gar
field to request the closing OF the casket, Us
she was lo0th TO have the people left with
so painful an impression OF the faCG they
had loved and hOnored. II is not probable,
therefore, that the Casket will be again
opened, 80 the people who will congregnte
ut Cleveland on Sunday will be disappoint-
ed In their expectation Of again looking
upon General Gariield's face

years OF residence there. lie shook hands
with Nll the employees. lie was present,
accompanied by Senator Sherman, when
President Arthur was sworn in to-day, and
was the third person TO congratulate the
President. The presence OF himself and
Senator Sherman at the Inauguration into
the highest office Of the land, Of the man
they removed from the ColleCtOIship of
New York about two years agO, makes one
Of the most striking historical pictures Of
the present md chapter In national Affairs
Notwithstanding the coffin was closed
the crowds which passed through the ro-
tunda Of the Capitol remained undlminish-
ed. The line Of people, four
abreast, extended for many hun
drGd yards, while the space in front
Of the building wUs thronged with surg
Ing mass Of humanity, anxious 10 obtain
admittanCe. II Is estimated that since Z
o'clock this morning ut least 5000 persons
have visited the Capitol, and ut n late hour
tonight there was no marked diminution
OF the number still waiting TO view the
coffin containing the remains OF the dead
President.
The bullet cut from President GnrIields
body at the autopsy was given to DR.. Bliss,
who Immediately handed II over 10

ly wrapped the bullet and sealed

A short time before the coffin was closed
Mrs. Secretary Blaine and Mrs. Secretary
Window entered the rOtunda and viewed
the remains. Both were shocked nt the
change, and suggested TO the gentlemen
comprising guard OfhnnOrthat the casket
will be closed At once. This they replied
could not lie done without orders from the
Cabinet. Ina short time the order came.
Two thousand people werein linGnt The time
and for half all hour they continued topass
the bier before Il became generally
known among the throhg outside that
