Then, surrounded by the members
OF Gen. Harrison's old regiment, the

fought in war and whose honor and
dignity he had upheld in peace was
the only decoration. No flowers

From the bit of each horse hung a
streamer of crepe. gathered in a
large rosette at the mouth. and this
was the only mark of mourning the
horses bore.
Behind the hearse came carriages

trade and the Indianapolis CONNER

Viewed by Thousands
The handling of the crowd by the
| police and the committees was excel
lent. Their task was rendered COM
paratively easy by the fact that it was
not a difficult crowd to control. 1t
was quiet. orderly and decent. There
was no jostling, no pushing, and the
line. once it was in motion. moved
swiftly into the state house past the
casket and out at the opposite side of
the building. The police had nothing
to do but stand and look for the pos
sible trouble that never came. All
during the afternoon the crowd passed
through the state house increasingly
and never once was there a hitch or
jar. The easket stood on two circular
supports which were swathed in crepe
and over it flung the great flag which
| was in other days futtering from the
mast of the battleship Indiana.
The natural gloom of the state
house was heightened by the black
streamers which were in evidence
| upon every side The marble pillars
were hidIen beneath the broad bands
| which wound around them from the
top to the floor. The only relief was
| that in each one hung wreath of
golden laurel. All along the corridors
were large banners yariously ar
ranged, but all of them bearing the
deep mark of mourning. Here and
there in corners were groups of
palms and other plants. but they
served only to aecentuate the deep
| black which was on every side.
Business Houses Closed.
As a mark of respect to Gen. Harri-
| son every business house closed at

work of any kind was done in Indian
