CONFEDERATE REUNION.

Memphis, Tenn. March 10.-At a re-
cent meeting of the general executive
committee of the Confederate reunion
for 1901 a committee was appointed to
join with the several commercial
bodies of Memphis to visit Washing
ton and invite President Mckinley to
be the guest of the city of Memphis on
the occasion of the reunion in May
next. The committee will leave for the
national capital in a few days.
AS the time for holding the reunion
approaches the several committees are
becoming mor active. The city is be-
ing canvassed by the committee on ho-
tells and accommodations and every
available room is being registered. A..
D.. Langstaff, secretary of the commits
sary committee, a sub-organization Of
the general committee in charge of
Confederate reunion arrangements. has
been very active in the past week or
SO in the discharge of the duties as
signed TO him. He is engaged in plan
ming ways and means for caring for
the Confederate veterans when thew
come to the reunion. Many of the
commands will very likely biyouack in
order to observe strict army regula-
tions and if this should prove true they
will have to be cared for the same as IL
they were in actual service again, but
with more care for their comfort. The
commissary committee is to look after
these matters. Mr.. Langstaff announces
that 1t is the purpose of the commit
tee to have the means of caring for
every Confederate veteran whether he
is able to pay his own way or not.
and they will do so If it is possible.
They want it understood that the com
missary committee is not organized to
look only after those who are able to
pay their W way, but to look after
the rest as well.

indianapolis, Ind, March lin the
center of n hollow square, composed OF
fully 1900 Of his fellow citizens, the
remains of Benjamin Harrison were
this afternoon inferred in the family
lot in Crown Hill cemetery.
Back n distance of fifty yards, behind
ropes guarded zealously by n large
force of police, stood with uncovered
heads the great multitude who knew
him not so well as did they who stood
beside the freshly upturned earth, but
who hOnoref him and admired him
fully ms much.
1t is doubtful II any public man, at
least in this generation, was borne TO
his last resting place among so many
manifestations of respect. There was
no exception anywhere to the EXPIRES
sion that the nation had lost II of its
ublest men, and the Greatest man of his
generation in his OWL state.
BY the grave stood the chief magis-
trate of the nation. and behind the
ropes We're all the streets arabs of Gen
pral Harrison's city-cvery grade of
human life in America, between the
two, was represented in the crowd
md In them all there was but the one
feeling-that n man had died who was
honest at all times with himself and
with others, and whose ability and
character We're shown as the nation
could i'll afford to lose.
AT the Harrison home before the re
mains were taken TO the First Presby-
terrain Church, where the full service
was held, there were brief exercises
for the members of the family, and
more immediate friends of General
Harrison. Possibly 1870 people were
present. Mrs. Harrison did not appear.
but remained in her room until it was
time to leave for the church.
Behind the casket came Mrs. Harri-
son, with her brother. Lieutenant Com
mander Parker of the navy, and little
Elizabeth Harrison. Then came Sec
rotary Tfbbett and Mrs. Tibbctt, then
Mr.. and Mrs. Mckee. Russell Harrison
and Mrs. Russell Harrison. then Jhe
other relatives of the dead eX-presi-
dent. Directly after the members of
the family came President Mckinley
me Governor Durbin, and following
them the friends of the family. The
route of the procession was south OF
Delaware street, then II block east
to the church, n total distance of twelve
squares. Twelve mounted policemen
led the way and cleared the streets.
There We're several thousand people
around the Harrison residence as the
funeral procession moved away, but
the crowd there was insignificant to
that which gathered around the church.
Two hours before the time set for the
commencement of the services the peO-
pie had begun to gather at this point
and by the time the funeral procession
arrived there was n solid mass Of hui
mainly stretching n block away on ev-
cry side of the walk.
One o'clock was the hour set for open
ing the church, although ii was opened
somewhat earlier than that.
The honorary and actual p~allbearers
came slowly up the north center aisle,
filing into the seats ut the side. The
ushers, forming in column near the
door, came up the south aisle, acting
us an escort to the President, who

was accompanied by Mrs. Durbin. As
the President reached the pew set
apart for him the ushers turne n
faced him. He bowed his thanks for
the honor, and then, ushering Mrs.
Durbin into the pew, followed after.
Governor Durbin and Secretary Cor
telyou filled the pew.
Immediately in front of the casket
and behind the pallbearers came Rev.
NJ. l.. Haines and Rev. Samuel j.
Nichols of st. Louis.
Immediately following the casket
We're Lieutenant Commander Parker
and Mrs. Harrison. They occupied
the second seat from the front 60 the
left of the north center aisle, CORE
spending to that of the President of
the south aisle. With them We're
Frank 1ibbctt, General Harrison's
private secretary, and Mrs. Parker.
Following these were Mr.. and Mrs.
Russell Harrison, Mr.. and Mrs. j. Il.
Mckee and Mrs. Eaton, John Scott
Harrison and Carter b. Harrison, Mr..
and Mrs. Newcomer, Mr.. and Mrs. S.
V. Morris. and other relatives and
close friends of the family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mckee and Mr.. and
Mrs. Russell Harrison occupied the
pew Nllt'llA III llt i car VI AlliN III
which Mrs. Harrison sat. Behind the
pew occupied by the President were
Senator and Mrs. Fairbanks. Senator
Bevcridge, Governor Nash and party
of Ohio; Governor Yates and party of
Illinois. Congressman Waterson, Gro
mcr. Overstreet, Steele. Crumpacker,
and many other distinguished men.
When all had taken their seats Mr..
IIaines advanced to the front of the
pulpit platform and, resting his left
hand upon the large church Bible,
opened the services by saying:
81 nm the resurrection and the life.
He that believcth in me, though he
We're dead, yet shall he live, and he
that liveth and bclicveth in me shall
never die"
Mr.. Nichols hen read from l Corin-
thinns 15:25-3S. inclusive, after which
Mr.. Ilaines offered a prayer:
After the prayer the choir rendered
the hymn Rock of Ages" in n beauti-
full and impressive II This was
General Harrison's favOrite hymn, and
IT is said it is the only one he ever at
tempted 10 sing.
Following the hymn, DIR. Nichols
read portions of Scripture from the
fourteenth chapter of st. John and the
t~wenty-tirst chapter of Revelations, af-
ter which DIR. Haines delivered the ad.
dress.
After the address DIR. Nichols offered
prayer. The services were closed with
n baritone solo, 'Hark, Hark, My
Soul" rendered by Edward Nell, the
entire choir Joining in the chorus.
The party left the church in the
same order in which it entered. For
/ the most nn ri those who nttpnlaI the
church services left Immediately for
Crown Hill cemetery.
The only flowers buried with the
casket We're those sent personally by
Mrs. Harrison. This was by her spe-
cial request. A portion of the flow
ers sent by Russell Harrison and Mrs.
Mckee We're placed on the grave by
Mrs. Caroline Scott Harrison, their
mother.

A woman reformer recently pulled
from the folds of her gown a soiled
American flag and waved it before
the audience, saying that she had
waved it from public platforms in

pity" murmured a much-loved gen
eral, who had lost his arm in fighting
under that emblem. Those who see in
our flag liberty and justice and mod
Grafton do not necessarily wave it
above their heads; but perhaps they
will sustain it long after those who
every day wrap themselves ostenta-

The groups of coast-defenders on
duty at life-saving stations are now
having their most trying experiences.
One of the force describes a sentinel
tour along the shore in a terrific gale
with a binding snow. He was unable
to keep his feet, but crawled to the
outer limit of his beat, and returned
in the same manner. The cold and
fatigue made the night-watching an
exhausting test-of endurance and cour-
age. His warning light was happily
not needed, and no vessel came within
the danger line; but the devotion was
ready and the duty faithfully fulfilled.
