ViouS demonstrations have had strictly
a funeral character, but in accordance
with the decision of the leaders, tnat OF
today was Invested of all trapping5 ami
the suits OF woe, and converted into a
triumphal procession, lively national
airs replacing dinges.

by crowded excursion trains. In their
hats they wore ivy and SlamTocl1S dGl-

achieved more than a faded green sash
or a spray of ivy.
