up in mass of funeral color and back
of this impromptu altar there spread a |
space not unlike chacel, all in black
and white. Behind it all fioated another
flag of generous proportions.
BEAUTIFUL FLORAL DECORATIONS.
The enclosure for the catafalque was
surrounded by banks of palms There

trees, phoenix, inclanta and tittia
worked into the general scope of decora-
tons. There was one striking floral piece

Choral society, of Buffalo. 1t consisted
of the French and American flags within
draping of black, caught with a pure
white dove, with the words, with sym
pathy and regrets This design occu-
pied the central place in the southern
link of palms. Another superb piece
from the Milburn house reached the city
| hall and was given a place in the dec
orations Worked in immortelles was
the word Chile" on another piece.

Five minutes were spent in completing
4 arrangements for the admission of Buff

PUBLIC VIEWS REMAINS.
At 1925 o'clock exactly the police were
notified that the body could be viewed
| by the people. A moment later and the
/ first of une long line came through the
| doors. Solemn visaged, in silence they
moved past the bier to view the face
| of the president. Old men and weak
women, and strong men and children,
! leaders of men and laborers, all these
| classes were represented in the throng
| that filed past. During the first hour
the people passed the catafa1que at the
rate of 115 to the minute. They seemei
as the afternoon wore on, to come more
| in their dimensions. The longest line
passed out Franklin street, two black
! lines extended along Chatsworth street
and lost itself in Its continuity. Word
! was given that in order to allow as many
| as possible to view the remains it would
be necessary to hurry up the procession.
At the end of the first hour it was es-
timated that something like 1000 persons
! had passed the bier. The statute like

Distinguished persons took their places

| the physicians who attended the presi-
! dent escorting lady, passed in with the
crowd Throughout the long hours of
| the afternoon there was never cessa-
ton of the silent, moving stream of peo-
pie who passed into the city hall. In
the early hours the function was render
| ed disagreeable by the violent rain. At
o'clock, however, the heavens again
| cleared. The crowds grew larger until
| those in charge found it necessary TO
extend the hours Owing to the pres
| ence of SO many waiting thousands it
! was decided to leave the city hall open
| Indefinitely. On through the evening the
great crowd continued, and at 10 o'clock
tonight there seemed to be no end to
| it. The police were finally given orders
to continue the state functions until the
crowds showed signs of lessening.
AT late hour the long lines on the
! street remained.
