Peter Cooper died, was singularly striking.
Mr.. Cooper had been kind to him, and he
was an employe in the glue factory in
Brooklyn. As soon as he heard of his
masters death he went home respondent
and told his sister ha was ''broken heart

his head on his hands all night, and in the
morning ibis people found he had
followed the noble old man ne loved into
''that other country?' And to-day, under
a gloomy, gray, fearful sky, the simple and
quiet procession crept down Broadway,
bearing II the plain, solemn hearse the re-
mains Of one whose soul was great among
his fellows and whose life was q perpetual
benefit and sunshine to humanity. Quiet
fell over the noisy thoroughfare as the
long, double file of carriages
followed on. People stood along
the curbstones, silent and reverent.
Hats were dotted; many handkerchief
suddenly wiped away a stray tear; for a

most charming costume institute for the
first time in this city what is called
"Veriness' after the Dutch fashion. It is
festival similar to the Holland national
celebration of springtime. All the second
floor of Delmonico's is to be given up to

Flowers and fol de rolls will be sold by the
ladies' in Dutch dress and number of the
handsomest girls in society are studying
the Dutch national dance, which will be a
grand feature of the occasion. Charity
will have her fun for her money, and the
cash will go to help the new skin and
