THE FUNERAL OF
 RUBY BERYL KYLE Remains Laid to Rest in Oak Hill
 Cemetery AT 9 O'CLOCK LAST NIGH l Rabbi Morris NoWiield Conducted the
 Services. DECEASED WAS A UNITARIAN Weird Scene Presented at the Grave Obsequies Conducted by Flick ering Fire Light and Lan-
 terms Dimly Burning.
DECEASED WAS A UNITARIAN
Weird Scene Presented at the Grave

The mortal remains of Mrs. Ruby Beryi Kyle, the gifted young authoress, who dieo at the residence of her parents, MT. and Mrs. J. c. Kyle, in Fifth avenue, on Wednesday evening, were laid to rest III Oak Hill cemetery at o'clock last nsh'' only a few of the immediate friends Of the family being present. The services were conducted by Rabbi Morris Newfield.
 The unusual hour at which the funeral occurred was in accordance with the ex- pressed wish of the deceased, which was faithfully carried out. Mrs. Kyle was Unitarian, and as there was no minister or that faith in the city, Rabbi Newheld was called upon to conduct the services repre- senting as he does a faith closer akin to Unitarianism than any other Birmingham minister
 Weird Scene al the Crave
 The cortege, consisting of the hearse and a few carriages, left the family residence shortly after o'clock. At the cemetery a werd scene was presented. The peace- full stiffness of the City of the Dead wrap pend in the mantle of night was broken by the approach of the funeral train, which moved slowly up the hillside to where the open grave awaited it's dead. A fire had been kindled nearby, and the filckering rays cast fantastic shadows on the surrounding tombs,~ which stood as sentries of the sa- cred spot.
 By the dim light of few lanterns the casket which was of pure white was placed over the grave, while the winds sang a mournful requiem.
 The Jewish Ritual Read
 The beautiful ritual service of the Jewish church was read by the rabbi, whose words rang out clearly on the crisp December air adding to the soemnity of the scene He paid a glowing tribute to the life which had been taken away, repeating the scrip tural injunction of Job: "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord."
 As the casket was lowered into the grave the fire died down, leaving the embers to cast their softer light upon the scene soon to end. As the last prayer was said the fi.ckering embers faded away like the life that had just gone out. Slowly the friends and loved ones took their departure, leaving the dead to slumber in the silence of the new made grave.

At the Auditorium

Atlanta. Gu, December 15-Seven thousand persons rose from their seats as the chief executive entered the auditorium. The band played "The Star Spangled Ban ner." amid considerable applause, but when the strains of Dixie" filled the building, the crowd went wild. President Mckinley stood up and waved his hat above his head. MT. Hemphill, president of the jubilee conn mittee, made a lengthy speech. He was followed by Governor Candler in an address of welcome.
 As the president stepped forward the large audience applauded. The speech was punctuated by constant cheers, but there were no outbursts similar to that which marked the presidents reference yes- terday to the confederate dead.
 After three cheers for Mckinley had been given with will at the conclusion of his speech, General Wheeler rose from his seat on the platform. Then came such enthus- iasm, such pandemonium as Is seldom seen. For three minutes the audience cheered and yelled and waved their hats. Over and
