notable citizens into the town, and ell bent
their way in one direction to pay their last
honor to one who had been high among
.hem. Residents joined in the pilgrimage.
and the host OF mourners that found its way
TO Greystone filled to overfowing the
ample mansion Of the late statesman long
before the funeral services began. A cas-
ket that was to contain Mr.. Tilden's body
made in two parts. The interior is OF cop
per, with q glass door it's entire length.

tufted satin. The outer part is OF red
Spanish cedar, and is plainly ornamented
with oxidized silver. The plate is Of that
material, and bore simply the name OF

near the head of the cssket, and at the foot
