Funeral.

enough to attend the services there,
but it was finally decided that it would
be imprudent to tax her vitality more
than was absolutely necessary and so
she concluded to remain in her room.
MARCH TO THE CAPITOL.
Slowly down the White House drive
way through fine drizzling rain, the
solemn cortege wound it's way to
Nthe gate leading to the avenue and
halted Then with a grand, solemn
swing, the artillery band began the

was in a black carved hearse, drawn
by six coal black horses, caparisoned
in black net with trailing tassels with a
stalwart groom at the head of EACH
Major General John r. Brooke was
at the head of the line. Behind him
came squadron of cavalry, battery
of field artillery, a company of engi-
neers, two battalions of coast artillery
and detachment of the hospital corps.
Then came the naval contingent of the
band who were followed by battal-
ion of marines, and one of sailors from
the North Atlantic Squadron, very pic
turesque and strong. Close behind the
hearse came a carrieg in which were
seated Ex-President Grover Cleveland,
Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans, and
General John M. Wilson. In carriage
drawn by four fine black horses. COM
ing next were President Roosevelt, Mrs.
Roosevelt and Commander w. S. Cowles
the Presidents brother -in-law. Then
followed a line of carriages
The artillery band played a solemn
dirge as it with slow steps led the sor
rowful way down the avenue. All the
military organizations carried their
arms but with colors draped and furled.
The crowds were silent. All was sad
and mournful and oppressive.
MEN FROM THE SOUTH.
In the civic portion of the parade
were the United Confederate Veterans
of Alexandria, Va, the Southern Manu-
facturers Club of Charlotte, and many
governors and their staffs. The process
sion occupied an hour and half passing

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE opening of
the doors of the rotunda of the capitol
in order to permit an inspection of the
remains of President Mckinley caused
a rush of the vast throng that had been
congregated on the east side of the
building since early morning. The result
was that many women and children were
badly hurt.
The crowd brushed aside the police
Gordon stationed at the foot of the steps
as if they had been chaff. A terrible con-
gestion on the capitol steps and at the
entrance doors followed. At the latter
point there was such extreme pressure
that numbers of women tainted. Many
who thus became helpless were lifted
up bodily and carried out over the heads
of the crowd, while others, less fortu-
nate, were trampled under foot and Sc
riously bruised.

acting pastor of the Metropolitan church.
This ended the religious service.
There was a pause for few minutes
while the ushers cleared the aisles and
the assemblage began to withdraw.
President Roosevelt and the Cabinet re-
paired to the Presidents room in the
Senate wing of the capitol. They were
joined there later by some of the other
distinguished personages present, in
Guiding former President Cleveland
When the latter entered the room he was
cordially greeted by Mr.. Roosevelt.
LAST VIEW OF McKINLEY'S FACE.
AS soon as the rotunda was cleared of
those who had been invited to attend the
religious services, the bier was prepared
for the inspection of the general public.
The floral offerings which covered the
coffin were put aside and the lid was
lifted from the head of the coffin.
AS the coffin rested upon the catal-
falque, it was just about high enough to
permit of easy inspection by adults. The
crowd entered through the east main
door of the capitol and passed out
through the west exit. The people came
in double file, one line passing to the
right and the other to the left Of the
casket. Only hurried glance was per-
mitted to anyone. About 130 people were
enabled to view the remains every
minute.
The crowd consisted of men, women and
children and all colors and ages were
represented. Many children were car
ried through the building in the arms of
their parents. AS the body of the dead
President lay in state it was guarded by
representatives of all branches of the
nations martial service, under command
of General w. f. Randolph, chief of ar
tillery. The whole scene was photo
graphed scores Of times Apparently the
throng was in an apprehensive state OF
mind for every time a flash light picture
was taken piteous screams were heard
from the people about the entrance.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN
TRAMPLED UNDER FOOT
Fifty Flung Down and Injured in the Mad Rush Into
the Rotunda to View the Remains of the
Late President.
(By the Associated Press.

OF the latter twelve or fifteen were
taken into the capitol. The room imme-
diately under the rotunda where the
Presidents remains lay was tempor-
ary hospital. filled with screaming wo-
men, lying prone upon improvised
couches. One of them had broken arm
and another had suffered internal in
juries, which caused excruciating pain.
The office of the captain of police also
was used to accommodate the injured as
were several other places about the
building. Indeed, the rotunda itself
was used to that end by some of the
less badly injured and by many who had
their clothing torn as hundreds had had.
1t is estimated that no fewer than fifty
women and children were injured to
some extent, but most of them were able
to go to their homes. A few were taken
to the emergency hospital.

THE FUNERAL ESCORT.
While the men of note were arriving
at the White House the funeral escort
under command of Major General John

regulars of soldiers, sailors and marines
the escort was made up of detach-
ment of the National Guard, members
of the G. A. r., the Loyal Legion and
kindred bodies and civic organizations
and representatives of all branches OF
the National Government and the Gov

At precisely nine o'clock silent

tanning all that was mortal of the il
lustrious dead. They walked with
slow cadenced step and as they appear

hymn the dead President loved SO we'll,

Next the diplomatic corps entered, all in
full court regalia and were seated to the

CLEVELAND ENTERS.
Former President Cleveland also en-
tered and with General Wilson, his es-
cort, sat in the first row. Lastly came
President Roosevelt, escorted by Captain
Cowles and preceded by Mr.. Cortelyou,
Secretary to the President He was
given a seat at the end of the row occu-
pied by the Cabinet, just south of the
casket Mr.. Roosevelt's face was set,
and he appeared to be restraining his
emotions with difficulty.
When the noise occasioned by seating
the late colhers had ceased a hush fell
upon the people, and then the choir softly
sang Lead Kindly Light" while every
one stood in reverence.
At the conclusion of the hymn Rev.
DR.. Henry r. Naylor, presiding elder of
the Washington District M. E. church,
delivered the invocation while the dis
tinguished company listened with bowed
heads.
AS the pastor ceased the voices of the
choir swelled forth, and the pure So
prano notes of Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes,
led the hymn Sometime Well Under
stand. The music was remarkably eff
fective and touching as the notes came
back in soft echoes from the fullness of
the dome overhead.
BISHOP ANDREWS ADDRESS.
AS soon as the hymn ceased Bishop
Edward G.. Andrews, of the Methodist
Episcopal church, who had come from
Ohio to say the last words over the re-
mains of his life long friend and parish
ioner, arose. He stood at the head of
the casket and spoke in sympathetic
voice and with many evidences of deep
emotion.
The address lasted but bare quarter
of an hour. AS the Bishop concluded
everyone in the vast rotunda rose and
the choir, intoning the air, hundreds of
voices joined in the grand old hymn
Nearer, My God, to Thee" 1t was an
affecting moment. In the midst of the
singing Admiral Robley Evans advancing
with silent tread placed beautiful blue
floral cross at the foot of the casket
The last notes died away softly and
with uplifted hands the benediction was
pronounced by Rev. DR.. w. H. Chapman,

Cne of the first matters of public
import to receive attention in the
new year viii be the long-desired
street railway extension TO South

ing determined. as soon as it can sat
isfy itself as to which of the routes

The need for street cars to and
from the suburbs at the south of the
city has been apparent for several
years. The conditions have been
looked into before by the street rail
way folks and the only reason they
have not built before is that other
improvements were more pressing.
Large Patronage Assured.
South Heights in itself is a thriving
community, and with the patronage
from the district lying between Ninth

doubtedly make the new extension a
profitable Investment, one that will
be added to in no small proportions
