Buffalo. Sept. 1s.-Buffalo yesterday

and flaming decorations Of the Pan
American exposition gave way TO the
symbol Of sorrow. The black drapefy
of the city's streets mufiled the tolling
bells Of the churches. Bits OF crepe
appeared on every sleeve. The sorrow
was everywhere apparent. In the
morning a simple service took place
at the dsidence on Delaware avenue
where the martyrsd president died. A
hymn was sung and prayer was offered
over the dead body. That was all.
Only the immediate family and the
friends and political assistants Of the
late President were present. The scene
there was pathetic In the extreme.
Then the body was borne out to the
waiting cortege on the brawny should

to extend the time until midnight.
For hours longer the streets were dense

In the drawing room to the right Of
the hall as President Roosevelt en-.

upon his bier His head was to the
rising sun. On his face was written
the story Of the Christian forbearance
with which he had met his martyrdom.
Only the thinness Of his face bore
mute testimony to the patient suf-
fering he had endured. He was dressed
as he always was in life. The black
frock coat was buttoned across the
breast where the first bullet Of the as.
sassin had struck. The black string
tie below the standing collar showed
the little triangle Of white shirt front.

ABOUT THE INDIANS.

traffic department Of the Chicago &

OF great many facts OK Indian history,
taken from variety OF sources, It

the war man, and the white mainland
places before the reader valuable in
dex to the events OF the different
epochs,
As to the origin Of the Indian, the
author states that 'ethnologists are

that all Of 'Nn families found on the
