SAD AND SOLEMN.
The Obseques OF the Late President Nc.
Kinley Observed In a Solemn and
Fitting Manner.

Minneapolis, Sept. 20.-This city paid
heartfelt, impressive tribute yesterday
to the memory of the nations beloved
president, William Mckinley. Through
its principal thoroughfare, which was
draped in deepest mourning, marched
thousands of patriotic citizens in SOL
emn procession. AS they passed down
the street with slow and measured
tread, church bells tolled the funeral
knell "for welfare of a parting soul. -
Both sides of Nicollect avenue were
thronged with people from Tenth street
whence the procession started to
Bridge square, The sidewalks on the
steel arch bridge were likewise crowd
ed as were all the vantage points on
Central avenue up to Second street Sc,
where the procession turned off to the
Exposition building. Windows, door,,
ways, steps and roofs of lofty business
blocks were occupied and the sidewalks
were almost impossible.
The grandest parade this city ever
saw. with all its display of the won
ders OF science, commerce and agricul.
ture sinks into nothing compared to
this simple, transformations manifesta-
ton of the peoples love for their chief
and tears for his death.
The procession consumed about an
hour in passing given point. It was
of slow movement as became the &C.
casion, and there were two or three
gaps of five minutes duration. To saw
that it contained from 5000 to 1000
men is a conservative estimate.
AS the procession moved down the
avenue the onlookers beheld a novel
and inspiring sight. Marching eight
abreast, were over one hundred musi-
clans, attired in dark blue uniforms.
They played President McKinley's IA
vorite hymn, Nearer, NY God, to
Thee" AS the swelling tones of this
inspired composition filed the air,
many a tear coursed down the cheeks
Of those who seldom hear the HYMN.
but who well remember it. This band
also played Chopin's immortal funeral
march and other appropriate compost
tions of the masters. So q
The procession was interspersed at.
proper intervals with bands which
played Nearer, Ny God to Thee,
Chopin's funeral march, '9''L Lead Kindly.

services were held were elaborate and

cry were used. Over the front interior
as the funeral party entered covering
the organ loft there was stretched
from wall to wall paneled drapery
black as midnight. It was of nuns
yelling, 50 feet long and Is feet high.
The panels were formed of>white satin
ribbons two inches wide. The choir
loft railing was richly hung with nuns
yelling arranged in festoons with silk
drapery tassels between the festoons.
The pulpit rostrum was heavily COW
cred with black cloth and the pulpit it.
self was draped with rich silk crepe.
An excellent portrait of the late pres
ident was fastened to the front of the
pulpit, and was gracefully draped.
The chancel rail and all the woodwork
about the front of the church was
mass of black. Five seats from the
front of the pulpit, in the left middle
aisle, was the pew which was occupied
by President Mckinley when he at
tended service. It is covered with
heavy black crepe.
