THE LAST RITES.
The Remains of Carter Harrison Laid
Away in Gsaceland Cemetery.

CHICAGO, Nov. with the solemn
pomp and imposing ceremonies BETTING
the interment of the chief magistrate of
the Worlds Fair City and his pitifully
dramatic fate, Carter Harrison's body
was escorted to Graceland cemetery to-
day by an immense throng of sorrow
ing citizens. Tende~ly the remains
were borne from the black draped and
flower scented corridor of the city hall,
where they had rested In state, and
placed in the funeral car.
Arrived at the church, the remains
were placed within the chancel rail and
in the presence of congregation of the
friends Of the mayor the beautiful
Episcopal services for the dead were
read by Rev. 7. N. Morrison, Jr. The
music was by 10 choir boys, robed in
black cassocks and white surplices.
The last hymn rendered was Blessed
Are the Dead" and while it was being
given the casket was borne from the
church to the hearse.
A peculiarly pathetic reminder Of the
dead mayor came into view Immediate
ly following the great black and golden
hearse-a thoroughbred mare, saddled
and bridled. but riderless. In many q
labor riot or fierce election contest
thousands of people had seen the dash
ing mayor press forward on that same
thoroughbred into Positions OF danger
few public men would dare.
After short service at the church,
the cortage moved directly to the
Graceland chapel. where the casket
will remaiu until it is finally inferred.
In the chapel so mem bers of the United
German singing societies sang Under
the Willows He Rests" and Mr. Morri-
son made a short prayer and gave the
benediction. Then the singers softly
sang ''Sweet Heart is Slumbering," and
the final services were over.
