business streets, bright but few days
since with decorations in honor of the

of the general sorrow. Flags were dis

ing from roof to sidewalk, or stretched
across from window to window on
every story. On other streets goods had
been removed from the show windows
and displaced by mourning emblems
and devices Of various kinds, while
mourning rosettes were displayed on
many of the residences along the route
of thefuneral procession to the cemetery.
Arrival of the Train.
On the arrival of the funeral train the
casket was borne to the church and after
the funeral party was conducted to
carriages the cortege moved by way of
Illinois avenue and thence on Pennsyl-
vania avenue to the church. A message
from Washington had been received in
that it was the presidents de-
sire that the arrangements be so changed
as to dispense with the soldiers from the
United States arsenal who had been Sc
lected to act as active pail bearers. The
request was due to the wish of the presi-
dent to avoid anything savoring of dis
play or ostentation and the honorary
pail bearers who had been selected were
notified Of the change and attended in
active capacity. They were as follows:
Judge W. A. Woods, Thomas R. Sharpe,
W. P. Fishback, Moses G. McLain, DR..
Fl. R. Allen, John B. Elan, Hugh
Hanna, 3. B. Martindale, General Lew
of Charlottesville, Hon. w. E.
Niblack of Vincennes, John r. Elder,
Theodore P. Haugey.
At the Church.
About one-third Of the seating capac-
ity of the church had been reserved for
the immediate family, relatives and
friends and those of the general public
who were first on the ground were then
admitted until every seat was occupied.
An exception to this rule was made in
behalf of about sixty members of Gen
eral Harrison's old regiment, the Seven
tieth, and they were given seats in the
south aisle. The total seating capacity
of the church is only about 800, so only
q comparative few of the thousands who
were anxious to participate in the exer-
cises were able to gain admittance. The
church presented a somber and yet
handsome appearance as the cortege
passed through its doors. The front Of
the big organ behind the pulpit platform
had been entirely hidden with folds Of
drapery festooned in black and white,
while above were three shields similarly
festooned and so arranged as to typify
burst of sunlight, the entire effect being
extremely striking. Wide drapings of
black ran the entire length of the edi-
fee over the stained glass windows and
were relieved at each panel with mon
ster rosettes of white. Two American
flags were draped over the front of the
gallery and beneath which the procession
passed on entering the church. The ton
side lights were festooned in black and
white and smilax, while from each de-
pended a cluster Of carnations, roses and
palm leaves. Back of the pulpit and
surrounding the organ profusion Of
plants, palms and flowers in bloom filled
the air with fragrance. :.
Tho Services
In accordance with the presidents
wishes the services over the remains
were very simple. When the cortege
reached the. front of the church the
casket was placed near the pastors
table and at It's head stood vase filed
with Jessica chrysanthemums, eight
feet in height. Services were COM
by the rendering of Cardinal
Newman's hymn, 'Lead Kindly Light"
by the choir, and Rev. Mr.. Haynes,
Mrs. Harrison's pastor during the latter
years Of her residence in this city, de-
ivered short invocation. A selection
If scripture was then read and tho pas
or made brief address, paying a trib-
1te to the Christian life of the deceased.
The mourners were led in prayer by
Rev Dir. Hyde, of the Congregational
church, and aft er the rendition of the
lymn commencing, "One Sweetly
solemn Thought" DR.. Haynes pro-
bounced the benediction. At the grave
short passage of scripture was read
md a prayer was offered as the casket
vas lowered into the vault.
