cottage. These were principally pas.
sengers on the II. .e0 train from Sarato.
ga, most of whom returned on the 2. 40
p. M, train. 1t was very quiet at lhel
cottage all day. A better light fell on
the face OF the corpse than on the LAY
previous, and the natu ralness of She
expression was much more clearly 1e-
vealed.
At 4 80 train of four cars, with t50I
passengers, arrived at the station, ind
the whole number, without a singh
exception, went directly to the cottageI
TO have a look at the face OF the dead l
General. The visitors passed through
the room and went out the side door.
About O'Clock Mrs. Grant, accom-.
panied by several members of the
family, entered the parlor and remained |
about half an hour sadly gazing upon
| the face of the dead. The better an.
pearance of the face was CAUSED by an
| application of bleaching powder at 81
O'Clock this morning. This WAS the first
opening of the glass lid of the coffin
| since the enclosure of the remains,
Undertaken Merritt says that the re
moval Of the lid may be necessary
daily, but he does not think any
| radical change in the remains at all
possible.
THE GATE AIAR.
| A magnificent flower piece was re-
ceived at the cottage thissmorning from
! ex-governor Leland Stanford and Mrs.
stamford, representing The Gates
Ajar." composed Of two gates six feet
high by Ave wide. White and purple
immortelles form the gates, which are
Ispanned by an arch inscribed with the
name, U. S. Grant, and with a eight of
steps ascending to the half-opeusd
| gates.

The statement made public to. day
that Mrs. Grant had requested Presi-
dent Cleveland to name some ex.Con-
federate General or Generals among
the pail bearers was probably based
upon the following message sent to

dan will be among those selected as
