DECORATIONS.
The decorations Of the East Room for
the funeral services there tomorrow are
most elaborate. and exceed In beauty and
impresslveness the attempts made on
similar occasions
To carry out the intention to make the
occasion purely military. the American
f1g is predominant IN the decorative dis
play. Wherever the eye wanders the
Stars and Stripes are seen. Each Of the
four great sa'oon mirrors is half hidden
by a large flag. and every window is
curtained with hanglnes composed Of the
national standard twenty feet long. These
form the background for an effective dis
play Of growing plants and cut-hOwcrs.
Great spreading palms branch out from
every window and alcove, and are sur
rounded by potted oleanders and other
greenS'ants. Flower-pOts holding smaller
palms. and innumerable varieties Of ever
green are banked on the mantels and
beneath them, and cut-howers are inter-
spersed here and there. while wreaths
OF sm,lax entwine mirrors and windows
and doorways.
The effectiveness Of the arrangement
will be greatly enhanced by the glow Of
electric-lights, rendered soft through
hemispheres Of thick glass Of pinkish
hue.

the windows.
Once inside, the wretch produced a sharp
knife and slashsd all the harness in sight,
cut up the carriage cushions, and wrecked
the place generally. Before leaving the
stable the vandal posted in conspicuous
place large placard which hehad pre- viously
prepared.
In one corner OF the yard lit is said, were
the representations of a skull and cross
bones, and the words in beldiIetters, Jack,

Nothing was stolen from the place by the
fellow. and a report of his Vandalism was
made to the Second precinct police,

entered Mr. Whites stable has been ter
rorizing the colored pe6ple4in the vicinity

their doors. On these posters, IN addi-
ton to the skull and crossb6nes, are these
words:
