The Palmer Company rendered its last
services to. the dead actress, Miss May
Brooklyn at i o'clock P. II. yesterday.
Miss Brooklyn lay in a handsome black
casket in an undertaking establishment at
Geary and Stockton streets. with flowers
all around her, and beautiful wreaths and

signs Of great beauty were arranged about
the head and piled I'D behind. Some less
elaborate but exquisite blossoms were
heaped up upon the casket.
The little group of players stood just
beyond the folding doors. Strict privacy
was observed by the dead wcman's COM
paniops, as nobody was permitted to at
!. lend the services except members Of the
company:
Everything about the funeral ceremo-
MES was marked by simplicity and becom-

the bier, wishing them TO be private. had
also desired that the unfortunate actress
might be laid to rest without osteD.atio
Rev. Mr.. Foute Of Grace Episcopal

long ldeloquently.
The orchestra rendered "Traumerei,"

eyes were tear-d immed.
This concluded the services and those
present stood around the casket in silence
for brief SPELL. Miss Bouton, who had
been close companion of Miss Brooklyn,
lay upon the remains and passed into a
