the single way of escape. The whole fam
lily persisted, and a little yellow dog, the
pet of,a younger child. was the only liv-
ing thing in the family that survived.

LAST FUNERAL CEREMONIES
AT WILLIAM M'KINLEY'S HOME

| They came from every state in the
Union, and there is scarcely man in
public life whose tribute of respect for
the virtues of William Mckinley did
not lie beside his cotiined remains this
afternoon.
The inside of the vault was literally
n mass of roses and orchids when the
casket was carried into it, and the out
side walls We're well-nigh hidden be-
meath the profusion of flowers hung
upon them. Above the doorway hung
an enormous wreath of dark green
caliX leaves, over the right corner of
the vault was similar wreath, the
leaves being n deep red; in a corre-
spending position on the other side
was hung wreath of ivy.
The great wreath in the center was
the Offering of the Italian government
and King of Italy, and was one of the
handsomest pieces seen. Upon great
streamer of black satin, which swung
from the mass of deep green leaves,
was the following inscription:
Requiem eternam done el domino"
Beside the black streamer fioated
one of red, white and blue, the colors
of the United States, and another OF
red, white and green, the colors of
Italy. To the right of the door, in n
frame formed of red and white roses,
was II vase fully six feet high, made
of white asters. This was the offer
ing of the manufacturing potters OF
East Liverpool, Ohio. The employees Of
these manufacturing potters sent an
elaborate design of vase done in red
and white roses that was fully equal
to that sent by their employers.
On the south side of the doorway
was suspended n beautiful wreath OF
lilies of the valley, intertwined with
smilaX, the whole augmented with
white and purple orchids. To the left
of the doorway was a great bunch Of
red roses, and purple orchids bound
together with a wide band of royal
purple satin.
Standing a short distance from the
vault to the south was Il small cradle
covered entirely with white and purple
asters. On its sides were worked in
| purple immortelles the word Miles"
| This was said to be the cradle in which
President Mckinley had been rocked
during his infancy in Niles, Ohio, and
| special instructions came with 1t that
/ it should be guarded with great care
and returned safely to Niles, where it
is to be preserved.
From Cuba came an enormous repre-
scntation of the flag of the new ma
| ton. A wreath of red roses and lilies
of the valley from the republic of
Hayti. wreath of white roses and
purple asters from the President of
Uruguay. From the Knights Templar
of Minnesota came n great field five
feet long and three feet wide, formed
entirely of white asters. In the center
, was the red cross of the Knights Tenn
| plar. A round button two feet in di-
] ameter, with n red cross in the center,
came from the Knights of Tennessee.
An elaborate offering of roses and or
chids came from Melville L. Stone of
| New York.
There We're wreaths from Savannah,
Georgia. and from San Francisco,
| from Duluth. New Orleans and from
dozens of other cities. Many of the
designs were unmarked, and it was
| impossible to tell from whom they had
come. The flowers will be allowed to
remain around the vault until they
! have fallen to pieces.

600 persons. Lord Mayor Green, the
