BANDS PLAYED ONLY HYMNS
NOT A CHEER WAS HEARD
THIS YEAR.
At Floral Parade at the Opening
of the Cincinnati Fall
Festival.

Cincinnati, Sept. 16.-The floral
parade in honor of President McKin-
ley this afternoon was the most elab-
crate and impressive pageant ever
witnessed here. There were over a
hundred floats in line and innumer-
able other vehicles that had been in
preparation for months for the open
ing of the Cincinnati fall festival. The
elaborate floral decorations have,
since last Friday been properly draped
in mourning. All members of the
business mems club were uniformed
in red, white and blue, with black
neckties and crepe on their arms.
Those leading the horses Of the floats
and all OF those in line adhered to
the black neckties and the crepe on
their arms. Mayor Fleischmann led
the parade with his vehicle heavily
draped.
The same emblem was worn by
thousands of school children and an
endless line of vehicles were draped
with all sorts of designs. The bands
played sacred music and hymns only.
AS the strains of Nearer My God to
Thee" LEAD Kindly Light" and
other numbers were rendered by the
bands, not only women and children,
but also men were seen weeping along
the line of march.
During the floral parade, one year
ago, cheer after cheer was heard, as
the most striking floats, brilliant
clubs or other features passed, but
not voice was heard today during
all the threeh ours anywhere along
the line of march, although the crowd
was the largest ever known in this
city.

Secretary Cortelyou, Secretary Long
and Senators Hanna and Fairbanks
drove behind in other carriages. The
citizens committee from Buffalo, Of
ficers Of the army and navy and
friends followed.
The military were already in line,
and as the procession swept from the
Sixth street station into Pennsylvania
avenue, a deeply impressive sight
was presented. The historic thorough
fare was hung in black. Emblems of
the nations mourning were displayed
on every building. Stars and stripes
furled and knotted with crepe, f1oated
from hundreds of windows Over all
cleaned coldly scores of electric
lights, defining sharply each detail of
the solemn scene.
Banked on both sides of the avenue
from Sixth street to the executive
mansion, were tens of thousands of
people. They were there to pay their
tribute of respect and love to the
memory of their president With
barred heads and with no murmur of
sound, the people watched with tear
stained eyes the last home coming of
President Mckinley. There was no
music. Amid the hush of the great
crowds, only the clatter of horses
hoofs ringing sharply on the pave
ment was heard.
When the sad cortege arrived at
the white house the hearse was stop
ped. The body bearers took the cof-
fin upon their broad shoulders and
passing UP three or four steps waited
until President Roosevelt and mem
bers Of the cabinet had alighted from
their carriages and then followed
them through the wide open doors
into the east room. Just in the cen
ter of the room under the great chan
delere. they deposited their precious
burden upon a black draped base and
stood at salute while the new chief
with bowed heads passed by.
The casket has been placed length
wise in the east room, head to the
north. Piled about it were half a
hundred floral emblems of exceptional
beauty and as many more were placs
ed in the inside corridor until tomor.
row. Two marines, soldier and sailor
stood guard, one at each corner of
the casket, while seated on either side
and two members of the Loyal Legion.

PALETTE AND EASEL.

Besides writing a number of standard legal works, Gen. Stillman F. Kneel- and, a New York lawyer, finds time for his two hobbies, painting and violin playing. In his office are two marines which he has painted.
 Two centenarian artists of France are M. Le Sourd -Beauregard, a painter. and Adolphe Thiae, of BQrdeaux, an architect, both born in 1850. M. Le Sourd- -Beauregard studied under David and made a crayon sketch of Napole- on's great Champ de Mai fete in 1915.
 The Small Art Palace, one of the per manent buildings of the Paris exposi- tion of 1900, will be used as.an art muse um for the city, and will receive the collections of works of art which are at present scattered in various places, says the Builder. A special architec- tural gallery will be provided in which the drawings and models can be pre- served.
 G. F. Watts, the famous English painter, has made within recent years portraits of both Lord Salisbury and Lord Roberts. Tn fact, there is quite a gallery of portraits of men who have helped to make history" to be seen in Mr. Watts pleasant house at Kensing- ton. The artist has been catholic in his choice and range, for side by side with Lord Salisbury and Lord Roberts is a portrait of John Burns.
