CHICAGO, Nov. 2-With pomp and
ceremonies, and wealth of honors be-
fitting the obsequies Of a king, the re-
mains of Chicagos late mayor were
laid to rest yesterday and left alone In
the quiet of Graceland cemetery. Not
in the palmy days Of his greatest tri-
umphs did the great mass OF people
whose applause was SO dear 70 MS
heart, pay him so heartfelt tribute
as they did Wednesday, while he took
his last journey through the busy
streets, amid the palaces Of trade, past
the splendid residences over the broad
boulevards Of that Chicago he loved SO
well. More than $4,000 men walked
with slow step, keeping time to the
solemn measure OF the funeral dirge, |
and probably ten times that number OF
men and women stood with barred and
bowed heads while his bier went on its
melancholy way.
The funeral car was extremely large,
with plate glass sides, and was sur,
mounted by monster eagles Of gilt and
and waving black plumes A detach-
ment of the hussars rode before and
behind. Many Of the spectators tossed
small punches Of flowers upon the
hearse as 1t passed along. One OF the
most touching scenes in the procession
was the riderless horse which the dead
mayor was won't TO ride almost daily
to his Office in the city hall. IL was led
behind the hearse by the colored coach
man of the family, and there was SAD
look in the eyes of the dumb animal
that seemed to indicate his knowledge
Of the significance Of the occasion.
II was after the passing Of the funer-
al car that the real sentiment OF the
populace became manifest. So far the
, line had been official, now 1t was the
turn of the people. In detachment
