large number of outsiders who were pres

charmed by the grace and delicacy dis
played in a group of smaller pieces by

Mr. OimsteG's handling of the motives
made an almost orchestral effect. He pre-

THE CLOSING INCIDENTS
BODY OF FRANK FUNK BURIED IN
BALTIMORE.
Crowd Gathers About Undertaking Es-
Enlistment Where Remains Were
Prepared for Interment.

The shipment of Frank W. Funk's body
to Baltimore this morning and its inter-
ment in that city this afternoon at Holy
Rood cemetery were the closing incidents
in of the foulest crimes that was ever
committed in this city. Yesterday after
noon. as published in The Star, Funk's re-
mains We're taken from the District JAIL
v mere he had been executed, to the under
taking establishment of w. S. Riley, No.
201 ID street southeast. The body was en-
balmed and prepared for burial, and last
night morbidly curious crowd gathered
about the establishment, anxious to get
.impse of the dead mans face. Only few
persons We're permitted to view the re-
mains, but the number of callers was so
great that the police had to be called upon
for assistance.
Funn's father, sister and other relatives
went to Baltimore yesterday. The Kew
ather Mcguire, who was frequently with
the murderer during his last days in prls-
on, and ndertaher Riley accompanied the
body to the monumental city this morning
| pom reaching Baltimore the body was re-
moved from the depot to Undertaken
Ahrens' establishment, on Eutaw street,
from where the funeral took place.
Mission Worker at Jail.
Rev John Roberts. the colored mission
airy, who ministers to the spiritual wants
of so many of the prisoners confined in the
District Jail, was at the prison yesterday
morning, but he left before noon. Shortly
after Funk had been executed the colored
mission worker returned to the prison and
saw Charles l.. McUin, who is under sem
tence to die the = I'd of this month He also
saw Boyd Wallace. colored, who is to be
tried for the alleged murder of his brother
Both men showed that they were very
much interested in what had occurred dur
ing the day. Funk had called on Wallace
and said something to him about prepara-
lions for the next world. assuring him that
he (Funk) felt that he had been forgiven
for his many mSdeeds. Before going to
the galows Funk sent Wallace an orange
Wallace was very much affected by
Funk's execution, and the shock to his ner-
vous system was almost too much for him.
McUin did not appear to be troubled, but
he made a number of anxious inquiries
about the execution.
Did Funk suffer very much?' he asked.
Then he wanted to know how long Funk
was kept hanging and who got the body
afterward.
1t is believed at the Jail that there will be
no postponement of McUin's execution, al
though it is stated that congressional infiu-
ence is to be brought to bear upon the
President. The fact that McUin killed a
man in Tennessee and was pardoned, 1t is
thought, may ihjure his chances for eXecu-
tive clemency In the present case.

70 the Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
I have been a resident of this city for
thirty-four years and have always looked
forward with great interest to the beauti-
flying Of our city. and have expended a good
sum in the purchase of and beautifying my
residence in Mount Pleasant. A short time
ago had sent me present Of two deer or
naments from Europe, at a great cost of
duty, etc. which 1 at once placed In front
Of my residence. To my great surprise at
Moor yesterday some boys apparently at
tending school in my neighborhood made
game of one Of these ornaments by partly
destroying it, Not being content with this
they returned later and completed it's de-
struction. l desire to ask IL there is any
satisfaction to any one in Mount Pleasant
in endcavoring to beautify their home; If
so. should they not be protected in every
manner possible?
