mittee, and the official party then moved
to the west of the station, where they
formed in line with the president at the
head. All We're uncovered. The casket
was then lifted through the window and
taken upon the brawny shoulders of the
body bearers
At sight of the casket, now covered
only with the flag,
TEARS CAME UNBIDDEN
and flowed freely. The sad procession
was headed by Col. Bingham in full uni
form, bow of crepe at the hilt of his
Sheathed sword Following him, pre-
ceding the casket, was the local commit
tee, headed by Judge Day. Then came
the soldiers and sailors. Slowly they
moved down the platform to the turn at
the western end of the station, where
the president and cabinet stood. AS they
reached the head of this line a clear
drawn bugle call sounded a silvery Re
view. The coffin was then borne to the
hearse. When it had been placed inside,
the president and official party entered
the carriages. Meantime Admiral Dewey
Lieut. Gen. Miles and other high officers
OF the army and navy, who composed
the guard of honor, moved around TO
the east side of the station They also
entered carriages and took their place III
the larger procession that was now
forming. All were attired in the full uni
form of their ranks. They were fairly
ablaze with gold lace. The shrill notes
of the bugle had given the first sign to
the waiting multitude outside the station
that the casket was approaching In
stantiy the long line of soldiers became
rigid, standing at present arms The
black horses of the Cleveland troop. i'm
mediately facing the station, stood mo-
tionless, their riders with sabers low
cred. Slowly through the entrance came
the stalwart soldiers and sailors with
solemn tread bearing aloft the f1ag-cov-
cred coffin of the man this city loved so
well. AS it came into view, a great sigh
went up from the dense throng. After
the first glance, many of the men and
women turned away to hide their emo
ton, which they could not restrain.
When the caSket had been consigned
TO the hearse, three mounted trumpeters
gave a signal for the melancholy process
sion to move. A moment later the sound
of Nearer, My God, to Thee flowed
through the air as the Grand Army vet
Grams with their band swung into line
and took up the march toward the court
house. Through Tenth street and then to
Cherry and TuscaraWas, the solemn
pageant moved between solid masses of
people, banked form curb to store
front, crowding the house tops and
filling every window. Turning into Mar
ket street, the main thoroughfare of the
city, the procession moved under great
CURTAINS OF MOURNING,
Strung from building to building across
the street every hundred feet.
A majestically solemn spectacle was
presented as the procession neared the
public square in the center of the city.
After the Grand Army men came the
Cleveland troop in their brilliant uni
FORMS of Austrian huzzars. with tall
bearskin shakos, topped by pom-poms Of
white. At the hilt of every sword
streamed long band of crepe and the
Tiny silk guidon flag was topped with
long black streamer. Following the
mounted troops came the hearse bearing
It's fag-covered burden. This was the
Sight that sent a hush along the dense
long lines of humanity stretching for
mile away to the court house. AS the
basket passed every head was bowed and
every face evidenced the great personal
grief which had come upon the COM
munity.
Immediately following the hearse came
The carriage Of President Roosevelt, who
rode with his brother-in-law, Capt.
