the power to foresee and appreciate is
gone. 1t is like the destruction OF a

After this address, Miss Antonio
Henne sang very effectively, Zone
Sweetly Solemn Thought" and DR..
Tucker made another brief speech.
The choir sang Beyond the Smiling
and the Weeping" and the casket was
closed. The body was borne out to the
hearse at 1880 o'clock, and carried to

Eight Of Mr.. Tilden's employees car
ried the body. Among them were the
captain of the yacht Viking, the gar
dener, the valet and the coachmen Of
the dead statesmen. The President
and his Secretary, Gov. Hill, Mayor
Grace and the delegations followed to
the carriages, but neither boarded the
funeral train. Along the three mile
route to Yonkers the sides OF the road
were alive with people. Just as the
cortege started from the house brisk
rain set in, but this did not drive the
spectators from the paths. Many
sought shelter under the trees
and awnings, some raised umbrellas,
and some remained uncovered. When
the hearse passed between the crowd
hats were raised and other signs of
respect were continuously shown.
When the depot was reached the
members of the family, the Misses
Iilden, Miss Gould, the Messrs. Til
