zinc in a marine steam boiler, and in
the hold of an iron steam vessel, though
this distinction was claimed by an Eng
lishman twenty years later. In 1914
he was made Engineer-in-Chi of the
Engineer Corps organized in 1889, and
served in this capacity for six years,
when i'll health caused him to retire.
After travelling in Europe, he returned
to New York and devoted himself with
conspicuous success to large engineer

several important public offices. in
which he has done notable work, and
he has been conspicuous as one of the

of engineers in this country, and of
the Institutes of civil engineers and
naval architects of Great Britain In
addition to his Mechanics and En-

published in all cities where Donizetti

1913 as conductor of the Italian per-
formances at the Imperial Opera A
special committee was formed for the
purpose of collecting relics, and the
number found was so great that spe-
cial Donizetti exhibition was held IN
Vienna before the objects We're for

a batch of letters to Donizetti, includ-
ing one from Verdi, who. as young
man, implored Donizettis good Will

leadership in a future prohibition agita-

The casket containing the remains OF
Major Ginter was deliberately decorated,
though the decorations were in excellent
taste comprising lilies OF the valley. VIC
let's and smilax, completely covering the
top and sides. Hammond did this work.
which was commended for Its beautiful
and artistic erect.
FROM NEW YORK.
The president. other officers, and some
OF the directors OF the American To-
bacco Company who came from New
York to attend the funeral OF Major Gin
ter, brought with them two magnificent
floral tributes, the work OF Thorley. the
Broadway florist. These were wreath
Of Meteor roses. a variety OF the queen
OF flowers, which is a stranger TO these
parts. and a large cross OF roses and
carnations. Amongst the wealth OF floral
display, these appeared prominent by
reason of their great size and wonderful
beauty.
STRIKING DESIGNS.
A striking design was one sent by the
employees OF the Allen K Ginter branch
Of the American Tobacco Company, a
large Gates Ajar," by Hammond. com
posed OF roses, carnations and lilies Of
the valley. Beautiful doves were perched
on the posts Of the gates, and the entire
design attracted much attention.
FROM the employees Of the Richmond
Locomotive and Machine Works, I'm which
Major Ginter was largely interested there
were sent three large and handsome floral
designs by Hammond. One was cross
four feet high, with dove perched on
IL; another was tall broken column, and
dove upon it, and a third was large

It may be said that the floral offerings

Ar HOLLYUOOD.
One Of the Largest Gatherings Ever seen
in the Beautiful Cemetery.

In a very short time the procession
was formed and started to Hollywood
The route was up Grace street TO Lau-
rel along Laurel to Floyd avenue to
Cherry street and thence to the ceme-
terry At Cherry street the veterans
from the Soldiers Home. in command OF
Commander Bigger. fell In with Lee
Camp All along the route the side
walks. yards. porches and windows were
crowded with people who silently viewed
the procession which was one Of the
longest ever seen in Richmond. There
were nearly as many citizens in evidence
as turned out to honor the memory Of
Jefferson Davis. when his body was bu-
ried i'm Hollywood
Undertaken Christian preceded the pro-
cession to the cemetery Arriving AT
the gate there was the usual formalty
TO be complied with. one OF the Of
ficials was in waiting for Major Chris
tan who halted and produced from his
pocket a little slip Of paper which he
handed to the Official OF the Cemetery
Company. This was the burial permit.
DR.. Hunter Mcclure gave the physicians
certificate which Major Christian carried
to the office of the Board of Health and
secured the burial permit. This permit
will be returned to the boare in few
days along with the report of the SUI
perintendent Of the Cemetery.
A SEA OF FACES.
There were probably not less than 10000
people within the cemetery gates. They
had been gathering thereforrtwo or three
hours All the way from the main gate
TO the Shafer vault each side Of the
avenue was lined with a sea of faces. As
far as the eye could reach each hill was
tnronged with men women and children
or all ages and of ali walks I'M life. About
the Shafer vault the people gathered in
such numbers and pressed so closely upon
the spot reserved for the casket. pall-bear-
ers ana relatives. IL became necessary 10
stretch ropes and pSess the crowd back.
The floral offerings reached the vault
shortly before the procession and were
placed upon the ground az, the entrance
TO the vault. -
THE FINAL EXERCISES.
The exercises at the vault We're very
brief. The veterans from Lee Camp and
me Soldiers Home took their position on
the side OF the hill under which the vault
Is built and gave the usual salute in honor
OF a dead comrade WREN the casket was
nrted from the hear5e. and placed at the.
entrance 10 the vault. Relatives and pail
bearers gathered close about the caskst.
Rev. Dr. Carmichael and Rev. Preston
Nash took their positions. and there was
almost death-like stiffness in the cemetery
as Rev. Mr.. Nash's clear tones were
heard reading the final service.
