With Us.
Cleycland, Ohio, September 26 Mrs
Garfield walked on the arm Of her sor
Harry and grandma on the arm o
James, Both were closely yelled and
their features could not be seen but
they walked firmly and seemed reso
lutte.
All the family and near friends were
in their seats before the ministers ar.
rived, and it was then that the govern
ors Of the states and prominent delega-
tiOns of citizens came.
At 1910 the assemblage was called
to order by Hon. John p. Robinson.
The Cleveland vocal society then
sang Beethoven's funeral march to the
words of the hymn-'rhou art gone to
the grave but we do not deplore thee.
During the singing minute guns
were heard IN the distance. and also
the distant music of the bands of the
forming columns of the procession
Following the music Bishop Be1ell,
of the p. E. diocese of Ohio read the
lessons from JOB xiv and First Corinth-
ians Nv, and the xxth of Revelations.
Then followed the opening prayer by
Rev. DIR. Ross c. Houghton, of Clevc-
land. 1t was very fervent one He
hoped that, although the nations pray
ers for the recovery of our president
were not granted, still God would not
fail to bestow upon us through his
death blessings even more valuable to
us than his gifted and faithful life.
The choir next sang the grand chorus
from Memberships "St. Paul. begin.

Have me away, for am sore wounded.
His servants therefore took him out of
that chariot and put him in the second
chariot that he had. and they brought
him to Jerusalem, and he died and was
buried in one of the sepulchers of his
fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem
mourned for Josiah and jeremiah la
mented Josiah, and all the singing men
and the singing woman spake of Josiah
in their lamentation to this day and
made them an ordinance in Irsael, and
behold they are written in the lamenta-
tons, Now the rest of the acts OF Josiah
and his goodness according to that
which was written the law of the Lord,
and his deeds, first and last, behold
they are written in the book OF the kings
of Israel and Judah"
Upon this singularly appropriate text
DR.. Everett based most eloquent and
feeling discourse.
While the exercises were progressing
the column was fol ming outside, and
the air was resonant with music from
the several bands, as the numerous bod
les marched to their assigned stations.
The first division was composed of COM
panies, militia, ETC.: the second of the
