contributed to the SmOothneSS of the
final hours of preparations and moth

At $3.50 the great civic parade started
on its march from the center of the
city to the grounds. The national
Marine band led the splendid pageant,
and a hundred musical organizations
from the various states of the midwest
contributed to tie occasion. The pa

The cordially of the invitation extended tc

from leaving the capital at this time.
The events of the memorable half century
which the TranSmisSisSippi and international

most striking evidences OF the splendid achieve

arce of the pioneer, while its vast agricultural
de vslopment, its progress in manufactures, its
advancement in the arts and sciences, and in all
departments OF education and endeavOr have

lion and wealth Of the world.
Nowhere have the uncOnquerable determine
ton, self-reliant strength and sturdy manhood
Of our American citizenship been more forcibly
illustrated. In peace or war the men and women
Of the west have ever been in the vanguard.

magnificent enterprise. and assure all who

An Imposing Scene.

The coffin was placed upon a high
catafalque under the lantern in the
center of the church. the pall-bearers
remaining on each side. The lords, the
members of the last Gladstone cabinet,
and other high dignitaries, occupied
the north transept Immediately over
looking the central portion of the
church. The mOurners, including the
family, sat in the center.
Soon after IL o'clock, when the church
was hushed to silence hat was almost
oppressive, the choir began to sing
Lord, Thou hast been our refuge"
and never was cathedral music more
sweetly or more impressively sung. AS
the "'amen" died family away Dean
Bradley, his spare, thin figure almost
spiritual in his robes, read the lesson,
in Il voice low and solemn, yet which
carried with wonderful distinctness to
the farthest auditorium, and then came
the true solemnity and true pathos of
that memorable hour.
Rock of Ages, Cleft For Me-"
1t was a tribute which all could pay.
Lords and commoners, judges, the
clergy and all the assembly of the
great men of England sang the favor
tie hymn of the man they mourned.
They sang Rock of Ages as perhaps
it never was sung before. The ma
jestic harmony rose in gathering
volume until the instrumental ac-
compartment was unheard. 1t spread
beyond the walls of the grand old abb
hey until the waiting thousands out
side heard it, caught it up and sent the
sweet refrain echoing the neighboring
streets. 1t was appropriate, also, to
the next song, sang by the choir and
congregation as the body was being
conveyed to the grave. Neunan'S
praise to the Hottest" was the hymn.
The rave, around which the nearest
mourners now gathered, was in the
very center of the north transept. 1t
was at the foot of the statue of Mr..
Gladstone's greatest rival, Lord Bea-
consfield, and it seemed as if the mar
BILE figure, which was in the attitude Of
looking into the grave, wore an express
sion of scornful triumph.
Mrs. Gladstone, leaning on the arm OF
her son, slowly followed the process
sion. When Earth t. Earth was re-
cited and the body was slowly lowered
into the gave, then came the glorious
refrain, sung with almost joyful voices,
beginning: Il hcarda voice from Heav-
en-, and the most sorrowful moment
seemed robbed Of its sadness.
The Lords PRAYER
was chanted and spoken and the service
closed with the reading of the collect
by the archbishop of Canterbury. The
most beautiful music of the service was
the rendering of Handlers The Bodies
Are Buridin Peace, which was followed
by Strainers grand Amen, which was
sung by the choir before the archbishop
of Canterbury pronounced the benedic-
ton, and finally there was that splendid
tribute in which all could join, the
mighty voice of the assembled thou
sands one more drowning the full or
gan, the blaring of trumpets and the
clashing of cymbals with the hymn,
''Oh, God, Our Help in Ages Past"
Then the funeral of the great En-
glishman was past.
