received all and ushered them
into the parlor. Then the people gen
orally We're admitted to view the re.
mains. They entered the east door,
passed through the first parlor, on the
right to the blue room, and thence
through the hall to the west or rear
entrance. The body was seen to be
dressed IN suit OF full dress, with a
| whlte pink In the buttonhole, white
tie surrounded standing collar. The
right hand was crossed over the
breast, and the head lay partly on the
right side. The features, while show
ing some emaciation, did not suggest
that the dead had undergone any
extended or considerable physical
suffering. Some OF those who passed
on the long line to take last look at
the remains were: Surveyor Beattie,
Algernon S. sullivan, Gen. LIE Fevre,
OF Ohio; Congressman Stahlnecker,
congressman of this district; E. O..
| Perrin, clerk OF court OF appeals; Park
| Commissioner John ID. Crimmins,
John Traphagan, John Bigelow, Smith
M. Weed, DR.. Geo. L. Millner, OF Oma-
ha Herald; William Allen Butler, DIR.
| Chas. E. Simmons and Col John Il.
| Fellows. The flowers on the coffin
We're composed OF but five collections.
A bouquet OF
GALA LILIES AND WHITE ROSES
lay near the head OF the casket and
at the foot was placed asheaf of palm,
| under smilax and Victoria regina.
| All the flowers came from Mr.. Tiluen's
hot houses. The last named was from
| a plant OF which there are but three
in America. By 8 O'Clock several
| hundred persons, men and women,
white and black, Christian and Jewish,
rich and poor, had viewed the re-
mains.
The revised list of pail bearers is:
Samuel j. Randall, John Bigelow,
Daniel Manning, Smith NJ Weed,
Charles A. Dana, DR.. George l.. Miller,
| VIM. Allen Butler, Daniel Magone, J.
| B. Trevor, Chas. E. Simmons and
Aaron j. Vanderpoel.
The first formal delegation to ar
rive was from the Jeffersonian Club,
OF Newark, n. j. Soon after them,
Mayor Bell, OF Yonkers, and the
1onkers aldermen passed through,
and then ten servants-fve men and
| five women-paid their last tribute
The women, without exception, shed
tears as they gazed for the last time
upon their late master. At $40
O'Clock, President Cleveland reached
the mansion. He was accompanied
by Secretary OF War Endicott and
| Private Secretary Lamont. George
| w. Smith, Mr.. Tilden's private secre-
| q hn I'D
found place IN the line of citizens.
Secretary Endicott followed, with Mr.
Lamont. On reaching the head of the
bier,
THE PRESIDENT
| stopped moment or two, took an
earnest look at the face OF the dead,
and passed on to the hall and was es-
corted among the family upstairs.
So also were Mr.. Endicott and Mr.
| Lamont. Ten minutes later the pail
bearers descended the broad staircase
in the center of the house that leads
| directly to the room where the re
mains were. Secretary Manning
leaning upon the arm OF John Bige-
low, led the bearers. Mr.. Manning
seemed rather feeble, his steps being
|
| the stairs. Mr.. Bigelow's assistance
was not unnecessary. The delega-
tions from various bodies followed the
pail and took seats in the Blue
Room, and adjoining parlors, the Bar
Association, headed by VIM. M.
Evarts, the New York Board OF Alder
men, Tammany Hall, Irving Hall, the
| County Democracy and others. Presi-
| dent Cleveland entered the room with
Secretary Endicott, Secretary Whit
ney, and Mr.. Lamont. Following
next came the members of the family,
Mr.. Tilden's nephews and nieces. Gov.
| Hill arrived just as the ceremonies
| were beginning. He was seated next
| to Mayor Grace. The hundreds OF
people collected in the hall on either
| side OF the black drapery that hung in
| front of the Blue Room, blocking up
the entire passage and extending out
on the porches and grounds in front,
| and at the rear OF the house.
THE SERVICE.
Then the Rev. DR.. William J. Tucker,
who had come on from Andover,
| Mass, to perform the ceremonies, read
the funeral prayer OF the Presbyterian
| Church. The choir OF the Madison
Avenue Presbyterian Church, which
had taken up position at the foot of
| the main staircase, sang "Abide
With Me-" Rev. DIR. Tucker next
delivered q short address on
the personal qualities OF the de-
ceased. Thereverend gentleman spoke
with great feeling that several times
| evinced itselfin choking his utterances.
He said he would not undertake to
speak OF Mr.. Tilden's public life and
| great public qualities; the press had
| done that with judgment and ampli-
| tude. But he could not help thinking
| OF and referring to Mr.. Tilden's gener-
Gus hospitality. No one who had ever
partaken Of it would fail to appreciate
it. DR.. Tucker continued:
A friend wrote to me not long ago, re-
| ferring to the death OF eminent ply
| sician, that nothing was so plain in an at
| tempt to give the meaning of death 40 that
| wesuddenly fail to communicate with those
! who have been all in all to us. Death is the
| withdrawal OF affection and love in the
| time that we need it. 1t is an irreparable
waste. A great mind cannot be replaced;
what the mind grasped, the books from
which it learned and the facts embraced
| will remain; but the process OF reasoning,
| the power to foresee and appreciate is
| gone. 1t is like the destruction OF fine
| library, or the loss OF precious jewel.
| Few men have been OF such greatness
| OF mind in this generation as our
| deceased brother. Whether he considered
men or plans, he was always wise. sagacious
| and honorable, whom all loved to listen to
and to honor. There was fine construct
| iveness OF ideas in his reasoning that made
| his great mind. A great light has gone
| out. That is the meaning OF death, some
thing is wasted. Does death mean any
more than an interruption of his communi-
cation with us No, according to mis- sim
| pie faith this mortal must put on immor-
tality. There are obligations to live again
as there arc TO die. Hewas simple, broad,
| clear believer in our faith. In that faith
we surrender our dead. The Eternal is thy
refuge.
After this address Miss Antonio
Henne sang very effectively "0ne
Sweetly Solemn Thought" and DR..
