with brilliant military and naval pomp
In which the soldiers and sailors Of
France and the sailors Of America
united in rendering honors to the illus
trious founder Of the American navy
The unusual sight Of detachment
OF United states sailors and marines
swinging through the central thorough

and brought out an enthusiastic ova-
ton from the crowds along the line OF
march. The America naval contingent
numbering 500 men with twenty-five
trains at 3 O'Clock in the morning, ar
irving at the lnvalades railroad station
at HAS a. m. In spite of the hard
nights ride the sailors and marines
presented a fine appearance as they

the entire multitude uncovering re-
spectfully while the American anthem
was played.
Another outburst of enthusiasm

thence to the military school. All
along the route the streets were lined
by dense crowds eager to see the

able impression by their sturdy bronx
ed appearance and the smartness OF
their movements. They were received
at the military school by battalion OF
court. Again the national anthems
were played and salutes were eX-
changed.

THE HAY FUNERAL
FUNERAL SERVICES OVER THE
BODY AT CLEVELAND.
BURIED IN LAKEWOOD CEMETERY
No Untoward incident Occurred and
the Day Was One Of Sublime
Beauty-Body Surrounded by Many
Notable Monuments.

CLEvELAND-The body of John
Hay rests in his family burying ground
in a corner OF Lake View cemetery.
Around his grave are the granite mon
uments of men who have done strong
things for Cleveland, for Ohio, and
some of them for the nation. Five
hundred feet to the west of where the
great secretary lies is the memorial
of James A. Garfield; 20 feet to the
north rises the monilith OF the Rookie
Teller family. Closer still are the
graves Of the Otlses and the Busts.
Most of these men were buried with
funeral services far more elaborate
them could have been inferred with
ceremony more simple. When, how
ever, the years shall have established
their true perspective, the world may
come to realize that he who was laid
beside those men was fortunate in
that he surpassed most and equaled
all of them in the scope and value of
the services he was enabled to render
to his countrymen.
The day OF the funeral was a day
such as one does not willingly associ-
ate with the idea of death--a day of
bright sunshine, whose warmth was
tempered by flowing clouds, and the
wind that seems to blow forever over
Euclid Heights. 1t was day to make
the majority Of men rejoice to be alive
and on which nothing but the irresist-
ible force OF events would bring home
to them such bitter truths as illness,
death and the grave.
The services throughout were ad-
mirably conducted-in most excellent
taste; and from the arrival of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in the morning until
his departure in the afternoon brought
the official day to its close not a single
untoward incident was in evidence
There were, however, three narrow
escapes-one for Sir Mortimer Durand,
the British ambassador, and one OF ex-
Secretary of War Robert Il. Lincoln,
and ex-Secretary of the Treasury Ly-
man ]. Gage. Sir Mortimer Durand
came direct to Cleveland from his
summer home at Lexon, Mass, and
was, owing to delays experienced on
the road, able to reach the chamber of
commerce only few moments before
the funeral started for the cemetery.
Mr., Lincoln and Mr.. Gage had been
misinformed as to the hour at which
the body was to be removed from the
chamber of commerce, and they joined
the funeral cortege after it had gone
only short distance.
