ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
UnbOun6e6 fRespecs for Mr.. TIIden's
Memory.
New YORK, Aug. 5.-The last letter
which Mr.. Tilden signed was written to
Secretary Manning. The last guest whom
he had entertained at his house was Mr.
Manning, who was there for a week, and
left about II days ago. For some months
past Tilden was busted at odd times with
the composition of the family record Of
the Tilden family. He traced his line
back in Vale Tilden, county Kent, Eng
land, in 1863. Some Of the family still
reside there. Tilden completed this work
last week, and on Monday Of this week he
dictated q preface. His last dictation.
In it he says the record was compiled from
information picked up hero and there
jotted down and tossed into a drawer.
These he had placed together by the aid of
memory, and from what help ne could get
from others. He wrote it, he said, be-
cause he thought it might be of use to
younger members OF the family, as he
showed them that they had sprung up
from an honest, sturdy race, of whom
they could be proud. II will thus be
seen that Tilden's mental vigor was unim-
paired by his long illness.
Clubs and hotel corridors are pretty
we'll deserted at this time of the
year, and little conversation on the
| death OF Mr.. Tilden could be heard
among prominent people on that
a~ccounS. Whenever talk was heard sorrow
was expressed in unlimited terms by peo-
pie Of all political faiths and callings.
They we're united in expressing regret for
the dead statesman. "Great" and the
Democratic psrty's most able cham
pion," we're ~favorite terms Of description
OF the late leader. Among many the hope
was expressed that the funeral ceremonies
would take place in this city, 80 that an
opportunity might be had by the populace
to show the extreme feeling Of respect that
il felt for the mans memory. II was pre-
Diced that Tilden's funeral would be at
tended by a gathering of people that had
never been equaled in number or variety
of representation in the history Of the
country. The Manhattan Club. which
Mr.. Tilden has been a member OF since
1865, will meet on Friday to take appro-
pirate action. The Lotus Union and the
New Amsterdam Clubs display their flags
at half.mast. The Bar Association, with
which Mr.. Tilden was closely identified
since 1869, will take appropriate
steps a. an early day TO do
honor to the statesmaA's memory.
Other associations will do likewise.
YoNKERs. N. Y, Aug. 5.-Greystone is
thronged this morning with friends OF the
dead statesman, Samuel J.. Tilden. Last
night the body was embalmed by the
undertaken in charge of the body. 1t
now lies in a catafalque in the southeast
corner OF the second story OF the build
ing. The parlor is being heavily decorated
with mourning. Funeral services will be
held at Greystone on Saturday morning at
10 O'Clock, after which the remains will be
taken to Lebanon, Columbia county, for
burial. Mrs. Mary B. Pelton arrived this
morning from Narrsgansett Pier. She
was driven to lGreystone Immediately.
where she met other members of the
family, and completed arrangements for
the funeral. The pail. bearers have not
yet been selected. 1t ia the wish OF Mrs.
Pelton that the funeral be as private as
possible.

the gloom which had settled upon men,
fbers by reason Of rumors that were rife
that the River and Harbor bill had been
