character was ever attempted, and it has
been success far beyond what was ex-
pected by any one connected with it. Cen
eral interest, of course, has centered in
the fine music, which on Friday evening
was furnished by the I'd Cavalry Band, and
on Saturday evening by the Washington
barracks band, when DeBerry's official
Grand Army of the Republic march was
played for the first time. But no less at
tractive are the Armat moving pictures.
An Impressive Incident.
An incident of Saturday evening will long
be remembered. The hilarity and noise was
at its height when Hail to the Chief"
played by the band, caught the ears Of
the crowd and attention was instantly fas-
tened upon the screen, where a magnificent
presentation was made of the scene in Mu-
sic Hall. Buffalo, when President Mckinley
was receiving the public a few moments
before the awful tragedy.
With one impulse the thousands of people
scattered about the grounds and In the
booths pressed about the screen in a dense
crowd. Suddenly the band changed it's
music to miSerere, and upon the canvas
appeared the last scenes enacted at Cam
ton, the fower-oaded and flag -draped cas-
ket, the escort and long lines of marching
men. A hush came over the merry crowd,
and even the little children paused in their
play to watch breathlessly the pageant of
death. The band ceased playing and for
lIt SIdtt bI I'VE minutes not q sound was
heard except the calls of the night birds
or the rustic of the leaves as the sad pa
geant flashed forth. The silence was so i'm
pressive and expressive of the love and
reverence of the American people that the
scene will not soon be forgotten.
