 Evaneeline Booth.

Evaneeline Booth.
 With the helmet under which she had fought many battle resting on the cas- kel. and with the sword of the Spirit, her only weapon, pierced through the hearts O. everyone Of her comrades, the remains of a noble warrior. Adjutant Libbie Or chard, lay in state at the headquarters of the Salvation army yesterday after noon.
 In front of the bier stood a cross of roses, the emblem of that for which her life was lad down, and covering 1t were beautiful offerings, all in white. There were no drapings of black. for. although her fellow workers were deeply greved, they feioiced in confidence that the adju- tant vas already within the realm of eternal happiness. Just behind, on the bare wall. were two pictures. the one of protecting angel, standing with wings outstfetehed over the stopping form of a woman who was ministering to a fallen being: the other that of EVangeline Booth. the great commander, and the eyes of the good woman seemed to rest in sorrow upon the coffin of her stricken warrior.
 appropriately rounding out the scene there stood two flag bearers holding the victorious banners. the one inscribed With the Blood and Fire emblem of the Sal walton army. sadly fured at her feet and eI,.4 pl gf nj sadly over her head.
 Impressive Services.
 Major Berfman, who hurried to Bir- mingham from Baton Rogue, La, was the officer in charge of the funeral, and he carried 1t out in the simplest manner, but most solemnly. He opened the services with one of the fayorite songs of the de- ceased, My Jesus l Love Thee being joined by the army band and every per son in the crowded hall After few verses had been sung, with all kneeling, the Rev. Dr. s. L. Dobbs, presiding elder of the Methodist church, sent up an in- pressive prayer which moved the congre- gation to tears.
 A solo duet by Major Berriman and Ad- iutant Widgery, "Where the Sun Never Sets" was followed by the introduction ot James Bowron, vice president of the Dinmick Pipe works, and 0 most enthusi- astic supporter of the army, who deliy- cred very touching address.
 MT. Bowron. among other beautiful pie lures, described Roman triumph, the elaborate trappings, the joyful reception the trophies of war and the garlands of victory Surely" he continued, "the spirit of this woman, so perfect, is now re- ceiving a welcome far more genuine as she moves down the streets of gold and carries with her the hundreds of souls which she has won for Christi In clos ing his theme, the speaker was overcome with grief, and ended with the words "Would that l could do as much good as was strewn on every side by this good woman."
 Her Dying Words.
 Captain Winwood of Bessemer sang 'Over the River
 pr. coston, who attended the adjutant after her serious burns, told in simple words of her last moments. ''The pa tience of her daily life was continued dur ing the terrible pain of those last lew days, and she kept up courage as none but one filled with the Holy Spirit could have done.
 Leaning over the bed as I saw she was rapidly sinking I told her of hei condition, and asked if she realized it.
 o.Yes, yes she said but I am moi afraid. Glory, glory, It's Jesus!' and witt a few more breaths expired.
 "In that Beautiful Land,' was the nexi selection that was sung, after which the audience listened with breathless atten- ton to a wonderful eulogy by Judge Fea- gin.
 Wonderful Record.
 "No woman in this city, he said, "has ever stopped into the ditch and lifted uT so many souls who have gone astray starting them toward a better life. in SC short a time How often I have seen her in the police court waiting to carry some poor deserted offcast to the rescue home! Numberless tmesl The young men threw their wreeks into the sea of life and she gathered them up with all the gen erous sympathies that can move hu- man heart She shall receive a crown if there be q crown, that shall never fade and will shine with the powerful light Of her boundless love"
 The next song was Well Never Say Goodbye in Heaven and Major Berrl- man then read the scripture lesson from Revelations 22.
 A Glowing Tribute.
 Perhaps the most heart-stirring and impressive talk of all was that by Mrs Brigadier Bovil, superintendent of the rescue work in the United States, who came all the way from New York to be present at the funeral She said that while sitting at the rescue home in this city yesterday morning, praying that she might be told what to say, some one knocked at the door.
 A beautiful young lady, handsomely dressed, entered said that she had heard of the death of Adjutant Orchard, and had hurried from distant city to get one more glimpse of the best woman she had ever known.
 "She helped you out of your sins, didn5t she?" asked Mrs. Bowl.
 "If it had not been for her." she re- piled, T would either be dead or in deg radition" The brigader then lead her to the coffin and together they kneeled to pray. With pent up feeling the girl burst out: From this time onward | will give my life to saving others"
 In just this manner Miss Orchard had secured lives for Christ multiplied again and again She carried on the work of
