wounded by Thomas G. Barker in Ar

just left the house of John s. Sands,
where he had his meals, when Barker,
who was in front of the door, opened
fire. One bullet went through the facial
bone from the right side and destroyed
the sight of the right eye. Another
bullet shattered the fingers of the right
hand, and another passed through the
clergyman's hat. The fourth went
wide of its mark. The shooting, it is
said, was the result of a disclosure
made by Barker's wife, although Kel-
Ter denies the accusation made against

iIy attended services beside the coffin
at an early hour this morning.

London, Feb. 4.-England's final act
of reverent homage to the memory Of
Victoria naturally lends itself to hyper
bole, but language does not need to be
restrained in describing the sincerity
and sobriety of the concourse of specta-
tors who on Saturday paid their tribute
of respect and affection to the beloved
sovereign. Thousands had remained in
the footways and parks from midnight
in order to obtain places along the
route of the funeral procession, and
they stood in silence hour after hour,
unmoved by the exasperating military
officers. and with bowed heads and
with grim, sorrowful faces watched the
passage of their dead sovereign in
state, with her jeweled crown and orb
of empire.
Unique as was the military pageant,
with It's khaki c0lored gun carriage
drawn by the royal creams and fol-
lowed by mourning soyereigns and
heirs TO European thrones. and stately
as was the ritual in st. Georges
chapel the characteristic feature of
yictoria's funeral was the reverent
hush and profound emotions of the
masses in their humility and unaf-
ffected grief.
