Silent Tributes of Respect to the
Memory of the Honored Dead.
YoRK, Pa, Oct. 2s.-Proceeding out
OF Baltinlpce at noon yesterday the Har-
'~s4sUn- funsi train ran up the Creek val
Icy, lined with manufacturing concerns
on one side, and on the other rising in
Druid Hill park. 1t was the noon hour,
when factory operatives and school chill
dren were at leisure, and the windows of
the several establishments were thronged
with interested spectators, who with
sympathetic glances watched the train as
il glided out of sight. Many school
children and men and women gathered
at various favorable points of observa-
ton, and as the train approached lifted
their hats and remained uncovered till it
had passed. AT every station along the
road as far as York groups of villagers
and country people were assembled, be-
ing drawn thither by desire to testify
to their appreciation of the worth and
character of the dead. Every group of
workingnen along the road stopped in
their work and turned TO view the pass
ing tram.
A noted feature was the general out
pouring of school children at all points
until after the hour for their reassem-
bling i'll the afternoon session, At /
o'clock lunch was served in the "Wild-
wood" to the president and his party. Mr.
and Mrs. Russell b. Harrison, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mckee, Mrs. Dimmick, Mrs. New
Newcomer and Miss Sanger lunched with
the president. At the same time the
rest Of the party lunched in the dining
car while riding up the beautiful valleys
York is the only large city between
Baltimore and Harrisburg but no stop
was made here though the train slowed
down to speed of six miles an hour,
and while going at this rate the people
who thronged the station platforms We're
enabled to catch glimpse of the floral
pieces i'll the baggage car and around the
casket. The next stop Of the train was
at Harrisburg, which place was reached
at $3.50 p. IN. In order that the schedule
might be maintained an additional en-
gine was attached to the train at Park
ton, thirty miles from Baltimore.
ALTOONA, Pa, Oct. 27.--The crowd IN
the station at Harrisburg when the Har
rison funeral train reached that city
yesterday afternoon was entirely too
great to be confined within the limits
appropriated to the public, and they
Bwarmed through the gates and sur
rounded the train in large numbers.
The particular points of attraction, of
course, were the funeral car and the
baggage compartment containing the
floral emblems. As the people ap-
preached the Ell Roy in which the casket
lay, hats were doffed, and while much
.sagefness was shown in the efforts to;
obtliiFa glimpse every movement was
marked with the utmost respect and
consideration. Not only was the station
itself crowded, but the streets leading to
Tho de ff1lp1 with FFha5
stop at Harrisburg was only lbng enough
to permit of the necessary examination
of the cars and to change engines and
crews. The train pulled out promptly
on time. and rapidly made Its way
through the immense yards lying be-
tween the station and the bridge across
the Susquehanna, six miles west. Every
available point on this portion Of the
track was occupied by sightseefs the
usual large proportion Of children being
noticeable. AS the car containing the
remains of Mrs. Harrison went by hats
were lnvoluntarily lifted, this mark of
respect being noticeable along the entire
limo of travel.
The crowds that have marked the
transit of the train through the large
cities was striking evidence of the gen-
eral regard in which Mrs Harrison was
holu ny the people OF the country, In
several instances they outnumbered the
throngs that greeted the train bearing
the president and party homeward from
their trip to California last year.
While the train stood in the station at
Harrisburg, the sweet strains of Muh-
lenbergs hymn, II Would Not Live
Alway," pealing forth from the chimes
OF the First Lutheran Church, block
or two from the station greeted the ears
of the passengers and fell like balm
upon the sorely wounded hearts of the
sOrrowing ones
At Duncannon, fifteen miles west of
Harrisburg, where are located a number
Of large iron establishmeDts, work was
