SCENES IN THE DEATH CHAMBER.
An that &c mortal Of Carter H. Harrison
rastod in the front bedroom of the Ashiahd-
40 house Tonight Conrad Fuchs. a sculptor
of local repute. has completed the task OF taxing
a cast of the features of the late Mayor "iic"
he pronounced successful in every parucu'ai.
There was nothing in the features OF the ue"u
man 10 indicate that his end had come by any
act of violence. The features were CAIN anu
n,easant. and Notwithstanding the closed eye
lids there was suspicion Of snhe Oh inc
rou;d countenance that would have induced
MANY an observer tc believe that the eA
Mavor was not dead. but simply sleepihb'
A silken cloth Of creamy white covered 'ne
body from the shoulders TO the feet ana hiu iioi'
view the ghastly wounds that told OF the uh-
orr,ng aim of the assassin. On the mantel
and around the walls Of the death chanper
were many mementos of esteem and regard
that had been presented to the dead man py
those with whom he had been brought IN
contact during his lifetime and who had adj
mired him for his many high qualities OF head
and heart. Among these was a photograph
of the Princess EuaHe. with her autograph
and kindly sentiments. and large cab
,rat nicture of the Duke Of Veragua. with ms
s,gnature and a date that corresponded with
tbe dav of his departure from Chicago. PER
hans however the most interesting adorn-
ment of the chamber a large frame con-
tanning the portraits of Prince Bismarck ana
his wife and Of their son and daughter-in-law'
and i'm the centre of which was a cara settihs
forth that the photographs had been presented
to the late Mayor while taking breakfast WIN
the Prince and Princess in 1884. Few OF 'he
numerous callers at the house were admitted 10
the death chamber. From an early hour up 10
and after sunset ar almost constant stream OF
representative ctizeIs passed up the walk be-
tween the double lawn and into the drawing
room on the ground floor Here they were
met by the sons Of the dead man. who re-
ceived with bowed heads and breaking hearts
the expressions Of coincidence rendered by the
visitors. All day long a gaping crowd chang
ing from hour to hour in its personnel, blocked
the sidewalk and roadway fronting the house
and the services of two police officers at the
gates and a similar number at the threshold
Of the house were necessary in order to Keep
the crowd at a respectful distance Nearly
every member OF the Board Of Aldermen, to-
gether with the various city officials, VS.
tied the house during the morning. Those
