Mr.. M'KINLEY NOW AT REST.
Murdered Presidents Body Now in the Tomb
Thousands Join in the Last Tribute.

The program for the ccremo-
nies as originally arranged was
carried out with only some trif-
ling variations. The body OF the
late President was conveyed from
the home on North Market street
to the First Methodist Episcopal
Church. there was brici service
and'a brief sermon. and then,
starting at 10 minutes after 3
o'clock in the afternoon. the body
was carried 10 the Westlawn
receiving vault and there left to
remain for an indefinite time.
IL was one OF the most impos-
ing and impressive funerals ever
seen in the United States. To
convey an adequate idea OF the
feature OF il which was most con-
spicuous-the depth and sincerity
OF the grief displayed-is quite be-
yond words. In that respect the
scenes were enacted over again
with increased intensity. All
along the great black lane OF peo-
pie that stretched from the Nc
Kinley home to the cemetery
quite two miles--were men and
women weeping as though their
own dearest friend were being
borne to the tomb
About the tomb itself the out
burst of grief was still more strik-
ing. As the coffin was borne in
to the vault there was not mem
Der OF the Cabinet who was not
visibly affected. while several
we're weeping. Secretary OF War
Root seemed especially moved,
although controlling himself to
some degree OF outward calm,
while President Roosevelt repeat
edly pressed his handkerchief to
his eyes. Among the bystanders
many made no effort TO conceal
their emotion.
1t was a scene under the cheer
less. gray skies and in the bleak
wind as cold as on a November
day. that even the radiant glory OF
all the great mass OF flowers could
not relieve-the very picture OF all
the sorrow and desolation that
death leaves in its wake.
The one on whom this terrible
blow falls hardest was not at the
cemetery. In spite OF her own ex-
pressed wish to be present to the
last, Mrs. Mckinley finally yield
ed to the entreaties of her physi-
clan and those who are dearest to
her and remained at the house.
All of those about her feared
the effect OF this final strain.

Golden Carpets at Auction.

According to Lisbon correspondent
two magnificent carpets, presented by
the Infanta Donna Sanche to the royal
convent Of St Antonio in 1900 have
just been sold by auction at the munich
pal chamber to pay for repairs at the
convent and church. The sale Of the
carpets, which were Persian, about
eighteen feet square, embroidered with
real gold, caused much excitement. The
most eager bidders were two groups,
French and German. Bidding began
at $4, 40 and the Frenchmen secured
the prize for $3.50, which is regarded
as nearly $1,000 below the real value.
Two other equally splendid carpets
from the Estrelia convent were also an
nonnced for sale, but public feeling
has become so strong that the sale has
been countermanded.
