Washington, March 1S.-The ma
tional capital is In mourning. Flags
are at half-mast not only upon all
public buildings but upon the hotels,
stores and many of the private resi-
dences. The act of 1893 inhibits the
draping of public buildings in black,
as was the custom formerly upon the
death of an ex-president. President
Mckinley was deeply affected by the
death of ex-President Harrison and
utive mansion be closed to visitors and
denied himself to callers except those
who had business of urgent impor-
lance. Immediately upon receipt Of
the news he decided to attend the
funeral. President Mckinley issued
a proclamation formally notifying the
people of the country of the death
of their former chief magistrate and
directing the observance Of period
of mourning for 80 days. In pur-
suance of this proclamation the flags
on every public building in the United
States, at every army post in the
United States, Cuba, Porto Rico, Ha-
wall and the Philippines and on every
American warship in whatever quar-
ter of the globe will fly at half-mast
for 30 days.
Mr.. Cleveland Could Not Attend.

HONORS TO THE DEAD
Many Men of Note Attend Funeral
of Ex-President Harrison.
President Mckinley Ordered Mourning for
30 Days-Services at Indianapoli Showed
the Love and Esteem I'm Which fhe
Dead Statesman Was Held.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 18.-The
death Of ex-President Benjamin Har-
rison was quiet and painless. there
being a gradual sinking until the end
came, which was marked by a single
gasp of breath as life passed from
the body of the great statesman. Mrs.
Harrison knelt at the right-hand side
of the bed, her husbands right hand
grasped in hers, while DIR. Jameson
held the left hand of the dying man,
counting the feeble pulse beats. A
few moments after the friends had
been summoned to the room the emil
came, DIR. Jameson announcing the
sad fact. The great silence that fell
on the sorrowing watchers by the
bedside was broken by the voice of
DR.. Haynes raised in prayer. suppl
eating consolation for the bereaved
wife and family, mingling with the
sobs of the mourners.
No sooner was the news Of the death
of ex-President Harrison flashed to
the world than the messages of in
quiry which had been pouring in for
several days changed to messages of
sympathy and coincidence. The mes
ssages came from intimate friends and
Admirers of the general and from

MAKES DONKEY OF EAGLE.
Practical Joke OF an EngrAver Ap.
pears ON Uncle Sans Green
back.

Officials of the United States treas
ury are liable to make things uncom-
Portable for one of the government
engravers, if they can trace to its
source the man who apparently, in a
spirit of fun, placed a puzzle picture
on the 1850 series of $40 bills. Incl
dentally, the American eagle is said
to be in state of high indignation,
because the engraver made it look,
turned upside down, like a common,
everyday donkey, with long ears and
Q white nose.
On the face of the bill appears an
American eagle between two sigma
lures at the bottom. There is moth
ing about the appearance of the bird
to denote that it is different from the
same picture appearing on other bills.
But when one turns the bill upside
down the head of a donkey looms up
plainly.
Great care is used at Washington.
It is said, by the officers of the local
subtreasury in passing upon the de-
signs for bills, and it is only in rare
instances that an engraver manages
to spring joke upon the treasury de-
partment.

men who had been associated with
him in public life at one time or an
other. The greater part of them
were of such an intimate personal
nature that Mrs. Harrison felt that
their contents should not be given
to the public. One of the first mes
sages to be received was from eX
President Cleveland, who was twice
the rival of Gen. Harrison for the
presidency, once successful and once
defeated. Early Thursday morning
President and Mrs. Mckinley sent
message full of sympathy and lauding
the dead statesman.
In the sick mans delirium, which
lasted from late Sunday night until
he became totally unconscious Tues
day afternoon, his mind wandered
back over the scenes of his life. Now
he was the soldier charging with his
column and again he was the states
man speaking before the convention
that nominated him for president.
The funeral took place Sunday aft
ernoon at two o'clock, from the First
Presbyterian church, of which Gen.
Harrison had been q member nearly
90 years. The body lay in state in
the rotunda of the state capitol from
IL o'clock Saturday until 10 o'clock
at night, guarded by detachment of
the state militia, and was viewed by
thousands of former friends and adj
mirers. The highest honors which
was in the power of the state of In
diana to pay were rendered to the
remains. On Saturday every military
organization in the state took part in
the ceremonies. Gov. Durbin sent out
invitations to the governors of every
state and territory in the union and
many of them were present with their
stats. Railroads made a reduced rate
to Indianapolis and over 1OO, 900 visit
ors were here Saturday and Sunday.
The honorary pall-bearers were former
members of his last cabinet. They are:
John w. Foster, secretary of state;
Charles W. Foster, secretary of the
treasury; Stephen B. Elkins, secretary
of war; B. F. Tracy, secretary of the
navy; John w. Noble, secretary Of the
interior; John Nanamaker, post
master general; W. n. H. Miller, at
torney general, and jeremiah Rusk,
secretary of agriculture.
The funeral was attended by Pres
1dent Mckinley and his cabinet, JUS
tees of the supreme court, senators,
representatives, ambassadors and
many others high in the military and
civil ranks of the nation. The event
was not only one of national sig
nificance. but of international inn
portance. Every public building and
business house in indianapolis. and
nearly every private residence was
draped in mourning. Business Of all
kinds was practically suspended.
