VOWED mass Of detail. which kept some
OF those in charge Of the services and
the burial up all last night.
For one thing. the question Of the dis
position Of the tremendous mass Of floral
tributes taxed several brains. Only
small part of these tributes could be
taken on the special train which is to
convey the body to Hartford. Conn. The
list of those sending flowers contains be-
tween two hundred and fifty and three
hundred names. and their offerings would
fIi another train the size of the special if
made up entirely of box cars
II was tentatively decided Yesterday
afternoon, therefore, that only about fifty
Of these tributes could be taken to Hart
ford in the special train. which is to
consist Of four parlor cars and a baggage
car. The remaining wrcaths and garlands
will be distributed among the hospitals
and other charitable institutions in this
great interest. A tribute from the Ger
man Emperor. for instance. is destined for
the German Hospital This offering con-

colors, with sold tassel pendent

The French Republic sent a sold
Maltese cross, crowned with palm leaves.
with streamers of ribbon in the French
national colors. This will go TO the
French Hospital. So far as possible those
offerings possessing racial or national
significance will be placed where this
quality will DE most appreciated.
The flowers to be taken on the special
train. those contributed by relatives and
intimate friends, will be used TO decorate
the graves Of the six Morgans already
buried in the family plot at Hartford.
Some leaves from palm on the
grounds about Mount Vernon said to
have been planted by George Washing

Gnanciers patriotism. Mrs Henry Fair
