RALEIGH, n. c., May l6.-The
United States and North Carolina
to-day paid noble tribute to the
memory of the gallant ensign, Worth
Bagley, the first officer killed in the
war with Spain. Nothing to ap-
proach tO-day's funeral pageant was
ever seen here. The body arrived
late last night, was met by an es-
cort of the First Regiment of volun-
teers and taken to the home of the
Ensign's widowed mother, where a
detail of troops kept constant guard
The love Of all classes of people for
the dead was shown in the stream
of callers and the wealth of floral
tributes. The latter came from near
and far and it was significant that
most of them were red, white and
blue. On the casket were the dead
officers Chapeau and sword.
At the doorway OF the house was
lOoped a national flag with "a crepe
streamer. Assistant Naval Con-
structor Lieut.. Lawrence l.. Adams
came from Norfolk navy yard to
represent the Navy Department.
The body remained at the house un-
til 2:30 this afternoon, when it was
taken to the capitol and placed in
the rotunda, which was draped in
| the national aId State coloCs.
The casket was removed from the
rotunda at o'clock and placed in
front of the statue of Washington,
where the exercises were held in
the presence of the family and the
clergy and ten thousand people, in
cluding all the United States and
city officials, military veterans
cadets and school children. Col.
Thomas S. Kenou was master of
ceremonies.
The procession at $3.50 moved to
Oakwood cemetery composed of two
regiments of volunteers besides
many civic bodies. All business
was suspended during the exercises.
The ceremonies at the grave were
brief.
AS the procession moved, eleven
guns were fired by a battery and
eleven were fired at the grave, and
then two regiments fired three vol
leys.

fell dead this afternoon at the
Orpheum Theatre in this city. 1t
was Remenyi's first appearance on
the vaudeville stage. As the great
artist appeared and was greeted
with tumuItuous applause he bowed
his acknowledgment and seemed
immensely pleased at the reception
given him.
He had played two or three classi-
cal pieces and had answered to an
enthusiastic encore with the most
familiar "Old Glory"
When the music ceased, the house
was swept with a wild torrent of
braves. The applause was almost
deafening and continued for several
minutes. Remenyi and his accom-
panist came forward and in response
to another burst of applause the
great Remenyi commenced TO pl9v
"Delibi's Pizzicati." He had iust
completed few bars of the difficult
lingering when he leaned forward as
il to speak to one of the musicians
in the orchestra, continuing his
piece. He seemed to pause for a
minute, and then slowly fell for
ward on his face. One of the musi-
clans caught him just before he
touched the stage aud prevented
him from rolling off.
All was over. He was carried
from the stage and physicians were
