Lyons, Sens and Beauyais, Beside them were the Parisian reetors. cam ons. eurates and the Armenian patri- arch. They appeared in all the pomp of the ehureh's yestments, As they ad- vaneed to the eatafaiaue they reeited prayers. Opposite President casimir- Perier's seat they all bowed and he re- sponded with deep inclination of the head.
 The priests. high and low. gathered around the catafaique. The liturgleal prayers followed. the president standing with his head bowed. Dean de fEs- caiiie celebrated low mass at the high altar. Meantime saint-saens brought forth wonderful tones from the organ and the choir sang Gounod's "Mors ct Vita," Dies lrae." and parts of Pie Jesu." from the organist's requiem. At the elevation of the host the master Of ceremonies approached Casimir-Perler and bowed profoundly to intimate that he might stand. and the president did so. When the bell sounded the invita- ton to meditation the president bowed low and as the heads of the mourners. the diplomatists, the generals and the judges sank forward. the scene illus trated impressively the nations grief. The light came but dimly drought the stained windows. The shadows of the heavy black hangings rested upon the whole assemblage, deadening the bril- liancy of uniforms and robes of of- flee.
 In his sermon the archbishop of Paris said: "M. Carnot was integrity person. flied in both public and private. He paid his debts to his country and he performed his duty toward God. May his life and his sacrifices to duty be lesson to all of Frapce's children to ally themselves with patriotism and religion"
 In referring to the widow the arch bishop extolled "the Christian women who are one of Frances glories and on whom are founded the hopes of the future."
 After the short sermon the archbishop of Paris extended his hands and gave absolution. The bearers took the coffin and bore 1t down the aisle, the clergy, with lighted tapers in hand, accom- panying 1t to the door. All the bells in the city were tolling as the procession formed and moved on to the Pantheon. It was quarter to three when General Saussier and his staff at the head of the column approached the building. The throng was enormous. but impressiveiy quiet. There were occasional shouts for Casimir- Perier, but the president si- fenced them with deprecatory wave of his hand.
 Within the Pantheon a huge black canopy fell from the ceiling to the floor, and under this the body of the dead president was placed. The draping was the same as at the funeral of Victor Hugo.
 M.Challemel-Lacou delivered an ora tion on behalf of the senate. He said his thoughts recurred to a similar all though less important celebration un- der this roof. In 1889 the name of Car not resounded throughout France, and the remains of Lazare Carnot deposited here received the tardy homage of the people. AS compared with his ancestor the martyred president was most pa- cific chief of state. His private and public life were unstained and it would be most difficult for the most severe judge to find against him any ground for serious reproach. Kindness was the dominating trait of his character. He never knew anger and never thought of vengeance touched his heart. If he was not incapable of harboring feelings of indignation he certainly never har- bored hatred. Even during the llgu- brious days when he voted for a com tinuation of war he aspired, without irritation against anybody, to ensure not long war, but. peace, durable be- cause it was sincere. Lazare Carnot and his grandson both loved France with the same love and with devotion that makes France strong and grate- full.
 M. de Mahy, first vice president of the chamber Of deputies, pronounced an oration on behalf of that body in which he expressed the deep sorrow coupled with the feeling of intense indignation which is universally felt. The chamber of deputies and the nation, he said, were in mourning over the deed of the assassin. He recalled the days when the lamented president was a member of the chamber. He was courteous and industrious and his firmness was as proverbial as his probity. The death of a chief executive of the state had never provoked more unanimous or more sin cere regrets than had the death of M. Carnot. Love for France was his watchword. r.s
 Premier Dupuy on behalf of the gov ernment spoke with great feeling and impressiveness. He was reminded of a phrase in one of M. Carnot's messages-. "All the strength and all the energy that possess belong to my country" He kept more than his promise, M. Du- puy said, and had given his very life. He died for France. The assassin who struck the chief of the state was exer- cising against the defending of the con- stitution and the guardian of the laws the vindictive savagery of a sect which all countries repudiate and which all nations by concert will reduce to i'm potence. Mr. Carnot fell like sol- dier on the field of honor. He fell as he was leaving meeting where his cordial words had charmed all minds and his appeal for concord had moved every heart. He had looked forward to the time of retirement, when he should be able to devote himself entire ly to his wife and children. He had never intended to stand again for the chief magistracy, believing that al- though the letter of the constitntion would allow reelection, the spirit of republican institutions was against 1t. The only reason he had not made Intention was that he did mot wish to detract from the position of the spresi-
