FINALLY SEALED.

The Casket Containing the Remains of the
Late President James a. Garfield, Her
meticalIy Sealed Up in an Elegant and
Costly Bronze SarcOphagus.
CLEVELAND, o., Feb. Lake View
Cemetery presented a beautiful and pict-
uresque view yesterday morning. The
silent sentry was pacing back and forth
in front of the Garfield vault, and all was
silent as the tomb. Suddenly three con-
veyances appeared on the scene, which
brought handsome bronze sarcophagus,
the undertaken and four representatives
of the press. No one else was present
but james r. Garfield, Lieutenant Ed
wards and the soldiers stationed at Gar
field post. The transfer of the remains
Of the late President james A. Garfield,
las been under consideration for some
time, and the little gathering was for this
purpose.
The casket was not opened, but was
quickly placed in the sarcophagus under
the direction of the undertaken. The
outer covering was then Theoretically
sealed and the remains were lost TO
mortal view forever. The sarcophagus
was then returned to the vault, where
it will remain until the handsome monu-
ment, which is to be erected to the mem
DRY of the honored dead, is completed.
The sarcophagus is work of art and
is the finest article of the kind ever
manufactured in this country. II is of
solid bronze metal, handsomely orna-
mented and weighs $50 pounds. The
top is partially oval and massive bands
run along the sides and ends. The en-
tire sarcophagus rests on four lions
feet, one at each corner indicating
strength.
A handsome tablet of superior work.
manship was placed on the top of the
sarcophagus. 1t is six by fifteen inches,
was designed by Tiffany, and can not be
duplicated for $500. One man was con-
stantly employed for forty-tlve days in
doing the chasing work. On each end are
lilies. Oak leaves and acoms ornament
/ the projections in the center, while lichen
and calycanthus are interviewed, giving a
/ beautiful effect. The tablet is symbolical
the dead President, symbolizing, as It
does, his love of home by the lichens, his
love of mankind by the calycanthus, his
purity by the lily and his courage by the
oak. The cost Of the sarcophagus was
$1,000. The military guard about the
vault will be continued until the latter
part of next June.

relief to the tax payers Of the eastern
portion because as u small political di-

more cheaply because the unnecessary

September 10th. L. says: Each state
is requested to elect four times as
many delegates and alternates as 1t
has senators and representatives in
Congress, and territories can send as
many IA they would be entitled to il
they were states. The promoters of
this movement believe that, as the
Democratic party has become the pro-
tector of the st loon interests, the Re-
publican party ought, as matter Of
right, TO become the avowed champion
and defender of the home against the
saloon. Ii is not intended to ask the
party to commit itself nationally to or
against any specific law, but to an
nDunce as its settled policy that it will
everywhere strive to reduce the busi-
ness of dram-selling, and the evils re-
sulting from it, as much as possible
each state TO decide for itself, from
time to time, what laws are best
adapted to secure this end in view"

salary matter all the way through.
Gallagher wanted to know IL the
mayor could raise the salaries II the
board did not do II.
The mayor did not answer the In
quiry, but entered q solemn protest
against the action, begging the oppo-

The mayor was willing to guarantee
the money II the board did as he wanted.
Then Schreiner descended like a very
solid angel OF peace. He didn't care for
the measly 5000. And Hambleton put
on peace wings and flew round, saying
the same thing.
Hambleton moved that the mayors
proposition be adopted, and response

courage to vote nay.
The mayor smiled, oh, SO sweetly, and
