Two Weddings.

There were two weddings amid unu-
sual surroundings in Colorado few days
ago. The second was an attempt TO go
one better on the first for novelty and
romance, and it would not be surprising
if third should occur soon to cap the
climax. The first couple were married
on the summit of Pixies peak, the idea
maybe being to get as near heaven as
possible in the blissful event and per-
haps to display an ardor of love that the
climate above the snow line could not
chill.
The second couple, George F. Schstz
and Miss Emma Thompson, were mar
ried in the weird and beautiful bridal
chamber of the Cave of the Winds at
Manitou. The wedding party Of the
romantic pair, comprising the parson and
q number of friends, was driven to Will
Hams canon and climbed the rocky trail
into the cave, where the ceremony was

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 2o.-President
Harrison and the grief-stricken mem
bers of his personal and official family
arrived here Friday morning for the sad
purpose OF placing the romains OF Mira
Harrison TO eternal rest in the place she
lovingly called her home The ele-
gantly equipped special conveying tho
party arrived here at $3.50 o'clock
promptly on schedule time and was
greeted by thousands of sympathetic
friends and admirers. They occupied
all points of vantage along tho road and
crowded the station to its utmost capa-
city.
The train arrived at indianapolis, a
delay OF half an hour was caused in
transferring from tho funeral car the
wealth OF floral emblems that typifcd
the love and devotion of hundreds OF
friends.
Everything being in readiness the
casket was lifted and slowly and rever-
emily the cortege moved out through
the sheds, through the Union station to
the carriages in waiting The casket
was borne by John B. Elan, the presi-
dents law partner, Judge Woods, Hon.
f. g. Mnrtindale, Gen. Lew Wallace.
DR.. Allen and T. P. Haughey.
In front Of the pallbearers were Judge
NiblaclS and w. p. Fishback, and in the
rear Joseph G. McClain and John r.
Elder and following them the sorrow
| ing relatives and the presidents official
family.
When the funeral procession arrived
at the church crowd Of 5000 people
thronged the sidewalks and pushed into
the streets not boisterously, but with
a show of the most intense interest.
The police had no difficulty In pushing
the crowds back, and the casket was
lifted and borne into the church with
! out incident of moment
! The services were characterized by
the greatest simplicity. As the coffin
was carried up the aisle and deposited
in front of the chancel the organ pealed
forth soft melody. The choir then
sang Lead Kindly Light" with beauti-
full effect, and Dr. Haines offered a
short invocation and read selection
from the Scriptures He then preached
the funeral discourse upon the text:
Therefore comfort one another with
these words"
At the conclusion of the services the
funeral procession, which was more
than mile in length, followed the re.
mains to Crown Hill cemetery, where,
with simple prayer and short address,
the body was lowered into the grave.
Soon after the train arrived and in
accordance with the request Of the
president the casket was opened
for few minutes in orde,
that he, as we'll as his most in
mediate kindred, could look for the
last time on the features of her nov
stilled in death, whom all loved 80 well
Her face had a calm, peaceful express
sion and she seemed as though merely
asleep. 1t was sad moment for tn,
president, and he was nearly overcome
Some Of the others were so prostratet
with grief that it was some minutes be
fore they were able to undergo the try
ing ordeal Of facing the public az they
were compelled to do in going to theil
carriages.
