which was covered with black pail, and
which in turn was heaped high with
flowers.
By 10 o'clock the representatives. of
the city's wealth were moving down
town. Pedestrians stopped and gazed
inquisitively at the dull ochre curtains
and mentally tried to pierce the shad-
ows within. On the west side of the
avenue dozen or more men stamped
their feet on the pavement in the effort
to keep warm, and it is notable TACT that
of this number at least one-third were
chips on the ocean of life, men whose
unkempt boards and summer attire
were strikingly out of place in this CEN
ter of wealth and fashion. AT 1915
Undertaken Mains canopied wagon
came to a halt in front OF the
main entrance, and the driver and
his assistant quickly carried with
in a score of folding chairs.
1t was the first of many similar journeys.
It was about this time that several
venturesome persons, on curiosity bent,
rang the bell of Edwin Gould's house
and requested permission to see the re-
mains, but the butler politely told them
that only intimate friends would be adj
mitted.
The first arrivals of prominent out-of-
town persons We're at 40 this morning,
when the following gentlemen stepped

tached to the Western express of the

Il Southeastern road; George

After the benediction relatives and
friends viewed the remains.
The Gould mausoleum in Woodlawn
Cemetery is the costliest and most beau
tiful, yet the simplest, tomb in that
noted city of the dead. The plot and
and many of it's details it is more like the
old temple OF Theseus at Athens than
any ancient building now cEtant. Three
rows of steps run up to the temple
on all sides and form its base. Be-
tween the columns and the walls Of
the temple is considerable space.
Columns and walls are bare, with
out the fain!ost attempt at Or
namentaticn. In the center of
the row of columns facing the south
it looks as fla col0mn has been removed
to make broad passageway. Facing
this opening IS the double door of the
tomb. Each section of this doorls eight
feet high and two feet wide land weighs
ton. The doors are of heavy
bronze and the lower part is paneled
and ornamented on the outside with two
dragons heads, big iron ring swinging
in the mouth of each dragon. There
are twenty catacombs in the gorgeous
interior. The light enters the crypt
through a stained glass window in
the back. The window pictures a
chorus of angels. The roof OF the
mausoIeum consists of granite slabs so
placed together that they overlap. max
ing the roof waterproof. The whole
temple weighs about 800 tons and rests
on a solid concrete foundation feet
