ciat says a surprise will probably be in store
for the public when Mrs Stewards will is
opened the last of this week. Her closest
friends, with the exception of Judge Hilton,
claim to be ignorant of its contents. One
thing appears certain, the marble house
where she died will not again be used as
dwelling. Many well-informed persons
supposed it would be given by Mrs. Stew
from time to time hinted that TO be his
ultimate design for the place, but to- day it
was alleged that Mrs. Stewart decided years
ago to give the place to Judge Hilton and
have it opened as an uptown dry goods
shop. The funeral, which will be on
Thursday, will be simple and unostenta-
tious in character Private services will be
held at the house at noon, and the body
will then be taken to the Cathedral at
Garden City, Long Island, where the usual
burial services of the Episcopal Church
will be read with full choral accompani-
ments. Bishop Littlejohn, of the Diocese
of Long Island, will officiate. The body
will be placed in a reception vault built for
the purpose in the marble crypt in the
Cathedral.
