detachment OF soldiers and sailors, four
picked men from the army and marine
corps on the right and as many more
Dlue jackets, unQer Lieut.. Eberly, on the
left. Immediately back OF the hearse
marched score of G.. A. &. veterans,
VINO mad been assigned to this post of
honor.
As the escort of soldiers swung slowly
into Franklin street, few drops Of rain
fell. In two minutes it was raining hard.
The long line of troops took their posi-
tlonS at attention. The casket was lifted
from the hearse to the shoulders of the
sailors and marines and was borne into
Bunalos official home. Outside there was
not man, so far as could be seen, who
did not stand, defying the elements, with
hat removed, respecting his dead presi-
dent Inside, with steps impressively
slow and measured the bearers made
their way to the catafalque. A moment
later and the body of President McKin-

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-aH these classes were
represented in the throng that filed past.

the cataIalque at the rate OF ll5 to the
minute. They seemed, as the afternoon
wore on, to come more rapidly. Outside,
the lines were amazing in their dimen-
sions. The long line passed out Frank
lin street.
The crowds grew larger until those in
charge found it necessary to extend the
hours. Owing to the presence of so many
waiting thousands it was decided to leave
the city hall open until Midnight. Then
for hours longer the streets were dense
with people and constant stream flowed
up the steps of the broad entrance into
the hall and passed the bier. When the
doors were closed at midnight it was es
timated that $4,000 people had viewed the
remains, but thousands Of disappointed
ones were still in the streets.
The body laid in the city hall until
Monday morning. 1t was then taken to
the station by a military escort, and at
$50 the funeral train, consisting of sew
en- cars, started for Washington. Mrs.
Mckinley, the president. the cabinet and
relatives and friends of the dead presi-
dent accompanied the remains. Mrs. Nc
Kinley bore up bravely during the serv-
ices at the Milburn residence. and DR..
RiXey. her physician, thinks she will be

state funeral at Washington.
