stance of splendid pomp BETTING the
obsequies of so mighty and well-be-
loved a monarch, all that is mortal of

to the ancient fortress-palace of
the sovereigns of England. The dis
play of the naval and military forces
in the solemn funeral parade reached
the great total of $4,000 men.
The people fought for hours for a
glimpse of the coffin and the kings and
others following it. They saw long
procession of soldiers, a passing show
of dazzling regalia, with hundred
royalties crowding after, and then dis
persed, while Ill the church chimes of
the city were ringing and muffled
dirges were played.
The funeral cortege reached Pad
dington about one o'clock, and at
1880 was off for Windsor.
The services at Windsor lasted about
two hours, when the body was taken
to the Albert memorial chapel, where
CHc Audl uOIlOTS 10 the ueau were
paid.
Windsor, Feb. 5.-The last honors
have been paid to Queen Victoria. Her
body now rests peacefully near that of
her husband in the mausoleum a Frog

more pathetic character than any of
the obsequies which preceded them.
Shortly before three o'clock Monday, in
the presence of the royal mourners, the
grenadier guard of honor lifted the
coffin from its temporary resting place
in the Albert memorial chapel, placed
it, on a gun carriage. and started the
last funeral march. Upon reaching
the mausoleum a short burial service
was read and the body of the dead
queen was consigned to it's last rest
ing place.

Is it the TRUTH.

The Cudahy kidnapping was carried

water convict serving a term of fifteen
years and four months.
Lawton wants a pardon and por-

officers to the place where the crimi-
nails are concealed, He is willing to re-
tain but two-thirds of the $25, 900 re-
ward and will allow the state to keep
the rest if he is given his liberty.
Lawton told his story without men
tioning any names. He says the plans
were laid at Omaha In July five years
ago, and that at first he declined to
agree to the proposition on the ground
that the boy to be abducted was too
young. The prison officials are in
clined to discredit the story.
