AN AFFECTING SCENE.

AS the veterans passed by the
carriage in which Miss Winnie
Davis sat, fife and drum corps
one after another softly played the
dead march. But when the Mary
land men came up, their band
gave "Nearer, my God, to Thee, .
and the Daughter of the Con-
fedeacy" burstinto tears and hid
her face in her handkerchief.
When the military movement
was complete, the coffin and open
grave and family were surrounded
by three solid walls of men. Out
side of the triple circle was dense
crowd of thousands upon thous-
ands. There were fewer military
men present than there were at the
Lee monument unveiling in 1890,
but the number of veterans was
much greater, and the popular out
pouring of to-day perhaps equalled
that of three years ogo. A conser-
vative estimate is that $4,000 peo-
pie were on the streets and in
Hollywood Cemetery. Every house
on the entire route of two miles
was draped in mourning and de-
corated with battle flags, the Con-
federate flag, the National flag, and
the Virginia flag. Each pair of
horses to the caisson had all artil-
leryman driver, and cannoneer
walked at the head Of each horse,
every man wearing agray uniform,
a helmet with a red plume and an
artillery sabre. ..G.S.. rysi
