THE FLORAL TRIBUTES.

Dame Nature, always kind to California,
was doubly kind in favOring the florists
whose hardiwork was seen among the
many floral tributes offered to the memory
of the dead Senator.
From the Union League Club of San
Francisco came n large American flag in
the three national colnrs, made from
seroliniums and surrounded by dove.
The employees Of the general offices of
the Southern Pacific Company sent beau

The employees of the Southern Pacific
shops at Sacramento sent two elaborate
floral pieces in special car. One of these
was stand of lilies and white roses seven

Four walls of marble entomb the re-
remains of Leland Stanford.
State and nation paid homage to his
memory yesterday.
The dawn at Palo Alto gave promise of
a cold, gray day. Ribbons of silver clouds
touched the peaks of the Santa Cruz
range. a veil of fog lowered above the
foothills. The usual blue of heaven was a
field OF silver shadows. The pine trees
were silent seutinels; the sturdy oaks
were motionless. Only Ihe twigs of the
eucalyptus trent led in the early morning
breeze. The silver of the sky, the yellow
of the fields. the deep green of the trees
contrasted strangely.
There were signs of activity about the
Stanford mansion soon after dawn. The
servants moved noiselessly. Guards
walkedsto and fro at the gates.
Before the first train arrived from this
city the sun shone forth, the cold gray of
the early morn turned TO gold, the slvery
clouds gave way to blue and the Menlo
meadows reflected the presence of a per-
feet day of June. The dogs basked in the
sunshine on the verandas and the birds
sang their merry carols as the first car
rlage- wheels were heard upon the hard
Ioadbed leading to the house.

tribute of respect to the memory of the
late Sen atOr were perfect.
The funeral train consisted of three sec
tions. the first being in charge of Con-
ductor Plant, the second ir charge of Con-
ductor Stanwood and the third in charge
Of Conductor Sedgley. The first left the
depot at Third and Townsend streets
unctually at 10:40 a. NJ. and the two
others followed immediately afterward.
All the coaches were crowded, but not in
conveniently so.
On the second section of the train to the
funeral was a cabOose which had come
from Sacramento filled with floral pieces.
The first section arrived at Palo Alto
about 1880 and its passengers were es-
corted to carriages and driven to tina uni
yersity. The other two sections passed

OF SENATOR sTANFoRD's REMAINS FROM THE HOUSE

Three gentlemen in somber dress, with
faces saddened by a deep grief, awaited
the coming of friends and neigh bors. G.
F. C.ocEer, Stephen NJ. Gage and A. n.
Towne were thus early on the scene to
direct and aid. The early trains brought
family friends. A detail of detectives re-
iieved the officials of the railroad. Floral
tributes arrived and almost filled the
library where lay the remains of the late
Senator. Then came the servants and the
employees from the ranch. the winery and
the stables. From the Chinese All jim 10
the colored water-boy of the racetrack, all
seemed willing and anxious to perform a
farewell duty to their departed employer.

Mrs. ford's sister.
The cortege moved away under the trees
and down green lanes. powered with blaz-
ing bright flowers and shaded with spruce,
cedars and oaks. 1t passed on toward the
San Mateo hills through orchards, cult
waited fields and stock paddocks to the
university. All along the route were evil
dences Of Senator Stanford's remark able
work. The bands of handsome horses at
liberty shifted the warm air nervously and
galloped alongside the funeral procession
wondering what it all meant. They were
as much at loss as "Great Dane" the
Senator's pet dog, who stood around the
residence with establishment in his eyes.
At the university the friends met the

quadrangle of the university when the
cortege arrived. Three special trains ad
allowed the people to alight at the very
doors of the university. There was no
confusion, no loud words. The services
were brief, and after the last notes of the
closing hymn the people paid their last
respects by fling past the casket and look
ing at the face OF the dead. Mrs. Stanford
had requested this, and there were none so
poor or lowly who did not have the oppor-
unity Of gazing upon the features of the
dead.
A second cortege moved eastward to the
family mausoleum, where, with still brefer
services, the body of LELAND Stanford was
laid to rest.
