ELABORATE FLORAL TRIBUTES


The chamber where the body now
the occasion. From the four large
chandeliers there is a huge canopy of
black. From black and white rosette
in the center four white strsamers eX-
tend to the corners of the canopy and
around the entire hall. Near the cell
ing is hung a wide black border. From
this, at frequent intervals, are hung
black and white stTeamers, reaching
to the floor. Beneath the canopy stands
the catafalque upon which rested the
remains of President Mckinley at Can
ton. AS lifelong friends and compan-
ions, it was thought fitting that the
same bier should be used for Senator
Hanna that did service for President
Mckinley The floral tributes We're the
most elaborate since the funeral of the
late President Mckinley. A whole car
load of offerings from Washington Off
cials and friends accompanied the fu-
neral train. They include a beautiful
wreath from President Roosevelt Here
already were tributes in rich profusion
from societies and friends in Senator
Hanna's own city.

The Senator Hanna seen by the thou
sands who filed past the bier was far
different from the Senator Hanna fa-
miliar to ClevelanderS in life. The face
was thin and drawn, bearing plain tes-
timony to the sufferings that he had
undergone. The hands crossed upon
the chest and visible through the cas-
ket front were thin to emaciation. The
death pallor was unusual.
