 REST
(rrom Thursdays Daily.)

While the snowy Takes swlftly iclli as though the very angels were weeping at inc pity of it all, and in sympathy with the bcrcavcd relatives, all that was mortal of Thomas D. Robinson, who died Saturday evening at $ o'clock, was inferred yesterday afternoon in the Masonic cemetery.
 The funeral services were held at the dcccascd's former home on Marina street at 2 o'clock. Many friends, in | addition to the relatives, crowded the rooms, having come from the surround | ing country as well as from in the city. |
 Rev. l.. W. Whcatlcy of the Marina street Methodist church conducted the services, both at the residence and at the gnvc. Eloqucn,ly the reverend gentleman told of the blamclcss life of he who now lay cold in death be- fore them. He spoke of the dcccascd's promise of becoming one of the county's most valued citizens; of the respect and friendship he commanded from all with whom bc came in con tact during his life. now so sadly ended. just as he was entering the prime of life. Tears filled the eyes of everyone present as the rcvcrcnd's words recalled to mind the man who, in life, had ever been honest, upright and sincere. one well worthy of all the commendation that could possibly be hcnpcd upon him or his memory.
 The floral offerings were beautiful and profusc, speaking mutcly, but elo- l qucnily, of the high esteem in which the deceased had been held in life and | the numerous friends he had made in this city and vicinity. where he was best known. Almost every conceivable
 design, appropriate to the occasion
 was there, from the white fireman 's
 hat, trimmed in red. contributed by | his fellow fircmen. to the simple
 wreath cntwinod by some loving hand.
 As the funeral cortogc wound slowly
 towards th. cemetery it was easily
 seen that despite the inclcmcncy of the weather it was one of the longest
 funeral proccssions witnessed here in
 many days. Under the direction of Fire Chief Johns the entire active mem.

 mournfully drapcd in white and black,
 with the Stars and Stripes intermin-
 glcd, drawn by four horses, driven by
 Assistant Chief Kearncy. came next followed by four carriages containing the immediate relatives, after which came numerous vehicles containing friends of the departed young man.
 Directly over and for space of sev
 eral feet surrounding the grave an awning had been erected to protect th'
 sorrowing relatives and friends iron
