There was perfect silence throughout
the big mansion and as the last sad
strain of music died away the throng in
the building lifted their heads, but their
eyes were wet.
AS the hearse moved away the mourn
ers from the White House entered car
riages and followed the body on its
march to the capitol, where the funeral
services were held.
Slowly down the White House drive
way through the fine drizzling rain the
solemn cortege wound its way to the
gate leading to the avenue and halted.
Then with grand, solemn swing, the
artillery band began the dead March

The casket, in a black carved hearse
and drawn by six coal black horses
caparisoned in black net, with trailing
tassels and stalwart groom at the head
of each, moved down through the gate
way and came to a stand alongside of
the moving procession.
Major General John r. Brooke was
at the head of the line, mounted on a
splended charger. Behind him came
his aides, the red coated artillery band,
a squadron of cavalry with red and
white guidons limp in the damp air, a
battery of field artillery with the men
sitting straight and stiff as statutes, q
company of engineers, two baUtalions OF
coast artillery and a detachment of the
hospital corps. Then came the naval
contingent of the first section headed by
the marine band who were followed by
q battalion of marines and one of sailors
from the North Atlantic squadron,
very picturesque and striking.
Boynton as Chief Marshal.
AS the National guard of the District
of Columbia brought up the rear of the
first section of the parade, the civic sec

Henry Y. BOyr tor, rs CHIEF marshal,
and comprised 0etachments from the
military OF the Loyal Legion, the army
and navy, the Union Veteran Legion,
the Spanish war veterans and the G..

As the veterans OF the civil war passed
the waiting hearse wheeled into line.
the guards of honor from the army and
the navy took up positions on either side
of the hearse and the funeral cOrtege

Solemnly the funeral party wound
down past the treasury building and
into the broad sweep of Pennsylvania
avenue. All the military organizations
carried their arms, but with colors
draped and furled. The crowds were
silent, all was sad, mournful and op-
pressive. The people stood with heads
uncovered and many bowed in appar.

along.
Many Dignitaries In Line.
After the carriages in which were the
diplomats others followed containing

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling coldE headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
