Like "Shore Acres." of which it was the successor at the Fifthavenue Theater, New York, for a year's run, it appeals to all classes and pleases every spectator. The cast that will interpret the piece at the Bark is promised to be of entire competence. xxx Klaw & Erlanger will present Paul Kestens brilliant play, "Sweet Nell of Old Drury," at English's Opera House late in April, with Miss Ada Rehan as the star.

The sale Is described as surprising in view of the competition of Sousa's band to-night and Mme Bernhardt' appearance to-morrow night. M.

IN CITY OF DEAD. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) sonant voice of Dr. Haines rang out clear and Impressive in the striking words: "I am -the Resurrection and the Life, salth the Lord. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live, and whosoever liveth and believeth In me shall never die. I know that my redeemer llvetn and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. I shall see for myself and mine eyes shall behold and not another. We brought nothing into this world and t Is certain we can carry nothing out. The; Lord gave and the Lord hath t-k n away. Illc-sod be the name of the Lore.. God Is our refuge and strenKth, a very ptesent h-lp In trouble. Therefore, will not we fer though the earth be removed. For thou hast been a strength to the needy In his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat. Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort who comforteth us in all our tribulation that we may be able to comfort them which are In any trouble by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."

With the reading of these words of com fort Dr. Haloes offered the following prayer: "Almighty and most merciful God, our Heavenly Father, who dost not willingly grieve or afflict the children of men, look down in tender love and pity, we beseech Thee.' upon thy servants whose Joy has been turned into mourning, and according to the multitude of Thy tender mercies be deased to uphold and strengthen and com fort them. Give unto them a sense of Thy presence and of Thy loveto us in Jesus Christ, and help us all- even now to realize that earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. And may the peace of God that passeth all understanding keep our hearts and lives through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen." SINGING BY THE CHOIR. "Rock of Ages," one of the hymns great ly enjoyed by General Harrison In his lifetime, was rendered by the chorus choir of forty voices, directed by Edward Nell. The members of the choir were the Mlssc3 Georgia . Galvin, Grace Prow, Beatrice Webb, Sada Bowe, Mame Hoffmann, Eliza beth Ricger, Bertha Holland, Marguerite Reynolds, Mary Lawson. Kato Gibson, Lulu Brown, Jessie Linton, MInnetta Tucker and Miss Feasey, Mesdames W. H. Howard, W. E. Neff, Frank Fuller, II. H. 1 lowland, Edward Nell, O. T. Behymer and Mrs. Hurt, and Messrs. Charles K. Hen derson, Homer H. Van Wie, Paul Jeffries, Frank Taylor, II. M. Talbot, Frank Sheppard, Verd Mayer, W. L. Evans, Oscar Bryan, J. H. Roberts, II. W. Laut, Charles Clary, Otto Pcnnlche, Carl Morris, Charles D. Ebert, Herbert Spaan. W. M. Kunkel and Charles Green. The Scriptural reading was conducted by the Rev. Dr. Niccolls, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, of St. Louis. Dr. Niccolls formed an Intimate friendship with General Harrison during the sojourn of both men in the Adirondack mountains for the past few summers. The selections read by the minister were: "Let not your heart be troubled, ye be lieve in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go and prepare a place for you I will como again and receive you unto myself that where I am there ye may be also." "But some man will say, how are the dead raised up and with what body do they come? Thou foolish one, that which thou sowest is not quickened except it die; and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain; but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased Him, and to every seed his own body. All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh cf beasts, another of flshes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. GLORY IN THE SUN. "There is one glory of the sun and another glory of the moon and another glory of the stars, for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown In weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there Is a spiritual body. And so It is written the first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. How be It, that was not tlrst which was spiritual, but that which Is natural, and afterwards that which Is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy such are they also that are earthy, and as is the heavenly such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the Image of the earthy we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold. I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment. In the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump, for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised Incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corrupti ble must put on incorruption and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorrup tion and this mortal shall have put on Immortality then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: 'Death is swallowed up In victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?' The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin Is the law. But thanks to the God which giveth us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH. "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were cast away; and there was no more sea. And I, John, saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying: Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men. and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God himself shall be with them and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall le no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away.' "And I saw no temple therein, for the Lord God almighty and the I,amb are the temple of It. And the city had n i-ted of the sun, neither of the moon, to vhine In it. for the glery of God did light en it. the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of Hum which are saved shall walk in the light of it. and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor Into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day, for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring all glory an 1 honor of the nations into it. And there shall in no wise enter into It anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh ubonilnation, or maktth a He; but they

which arc written In the Lamb's book of life." Following the Scriptural reading, Mr. Haines delivered his tribute to the memory of the; dei'd statesman In a voice that was trembling with suppressed emotion. At times during the delivery of his address Dr. Haines set-mod on the point of breaking down completely, so powerfully affected was he by the sad scene before him and

by the memories of his close friendship w ith the deceased that came rushing over hJ m in the presence of the body. The addr ess created a protound impression upon 11 who heard it. Many doubtless recalled that only a few weeks previously the same t:lnls.ter had pronounced a eulogy upon x-Governor Mount, which was listened to with the closest attention by the man hose form now lay motionless and cold i death before him. This startling reali zation of tho rapid and sharp changes of fe added immeasurably to the solemnity of the occasion. Dr. Ilalne's Sermon. Mr. Haines spoke as follows: "How our thoughts of God and Ills provi dence are widened by these teachings of the sacred Scriptures to which we have listened. They constitute the message and all the message for this hour. I can add nothing to that great and tender and glori ous message. I shall not attempt to do so. No words of mine, however well meant, can meet the unspeakable sorrow of human hearts under earth's bereavements; for one reason, that man's wisdom unaided by divine revelation does not go very far beyond the things that are seen and temporal. But these Scriptures give us glimpses into the unseen realities of God's great universe, and yet no book recognizes more fully than the Bible the sad facts of life in this world. It recognizes the mystery and the sorrowproducing nature of many of God's providences as seen and experienced by men. Clouds and darkness are round about Him; His Judgments are a great deep which our finite reasons cannot fathom. "And so we have impressed upon us a lesson of caution. Judge nothing before the time. We know but in part, and partial knowledge Is misleading. God's providences as far as we actually see them may appear wholly dark and painful, but beyond what wo see those providences, we are taught, reach on and on and work out for those who trust in Him and yield, them selves to Him results that we do not see, and they are results that are worthy of Infinite wisdom and goodness and love. " 'Judge not the Lord by feeble sense. But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face.' SORROWFUL EXPERIENCES. "What I do, said our divine Lord, thou knowest not now, thou shalt know here after. What hcn remains for us when we pass through such experiences wait and trust. There is nothing that honors God, there is nothing that God so values, as such trust in Him. This is faith, not bLind credulity. Faith verifies itself in the experience of those who really exercise it. 'The steps of faith fall on the seeming void and find the rock beneath. It Is the highest exercise of the spirit of man, it is man's spirit reaching up through the darkness and clasping the hand of the infinite and loving Father. "But in the midst of the gloom we may bo sure that God's providence Is over us and that God's presence is with us. He is not Indifferent. He cares for us, He has not left us comfortless. 'Through the tender mercy of our God the day spring from on high hath visited us to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death.'. These words have come to sorrowing hearts in all generations like music in the night. "Three great shadows that darken human lifo are sin and suffering and death. Jesus Christ, the daysprlng from on high, gives light to those in the darkness of sin. He has by His sufferings, death and resurrection made atonement for it, so that forgiveness is assured, and where sin has abounded dlvino grace doth much more abound. He has brought light into the darkness of human suffering. He does not promise to keep men from suffering, but he does promise to sustain them under it and to transmute every experience of it into final gain to the immortal spirit. Even In the valley and shadow of death we need fear no evil, for Jesus Christ has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light. Death Is no longer to us the end, but the beginning. So that in the presence of the king of terrors a truman can say: 'O. death, where is thy sting." Thanks be to God who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.' THE SUPREME ANSWER. "And so God's supreme answer to human sin and human sorrow and human death is himself, revealed in the person of Jesus Christ. Into the very darkest experiences of human life He comes. There where the need is greatest the grace He offers is richest and the consolation H3 brings Is the most sure and the most loving. Listen, He speaks: 'Let not your heart be troubled. In my Father's house are many mansions. I am the resurrection and the life.' These are the truths in the light of which we see more clearly the meaning of life for man in this world and the real meaning of the life of him whose name Is in all our thoughts here to-day. For these are the truths that were wrought into the very fiber of his strong nature and which did so much to empower him to be what he was and to do what he did. "Full and fitting tributes to his public career and to his high achievements have already been paid by many of you, by you who knew him well and who for long years have been associating with him in high places In the Nation. This Is no time for repetition by me of the life record familiar to us all. "It Is a help to me to realize that even the few simple utterances that almost voice themselves, the mere outline reminders of his life are by your own memories take-i nnd filled full of recollections vivid and ennobling. We are all mourners here to-day. This Is no gathering of strangers offering a forma! perfunctory tribute of grief. Some of us are comparative strangers to one another, but all of us, whether from distant cities and States or from his own commonwealth and his own home city, are friends, associates, neighbors, who held him in deserved esteem and personal honor. The story of his life, so strenuous In its en deavor, so high in its ideals, so persistent in its loyalty to rectitude and to country and God, Is indeed a rich heritage. We will not be ashamed to open that page of our Nation's annals where his name has a foremost place. THOUGHTS TURNED TO PAST. "To-day, as our thoughts are turned toward the past, the experiences and event of the long years of his career rise before us. We seem to see the very scenes in which he played so active a part; the camps and the battlefields where he exhibited the devotion of a heroic sol .it . . uier 01 ma country; wie courts or law in which, by combined ability and indefatigable industry, he won a moderate competence and a wide fame, and kept h!s good name; the fierce, passion-swept arena of political life, where he battled unto the last, persistently and conscientiously, for what he believed to be the true principles of constitutional government; the tremendous burdens and responsibilities of the otfice of chief magistrate, where he never failed to keep principle above policy, and furnished the American Republic with an administration notably wise and

Just and clean; and in the years since, as a broadmlnded, patriotic, earnest citizen, in close touch with the problems that are most affecting the lives of men, the problems of government, of education, of charity, of religion; the recollection of all that he has said and done comes to us now with peculiar impresslveness. What 1? brought home to the minds of us all is the number of ways in which, through speech and pen anil deed, he touched the different interests of society in the city and the Commonwealth and. the Nation and the church, and always touched them to finer issues. "His life, so diligent and many-sided In Its activities, has never stopped growing and expanding. It has seemed to many of us that that life was never more vigorous Intellectually, perhaps never more widely influential, than it was at the very time the summons of God came, calling His servant to come up higher. The departure of such a citizen from this land rolls a heavier weight of responsibility upon you who remain. A RESERVE POWER. "Like all truly great men, he gave one the Impression of a reserve power upon which he had not drawn. Did we not all of us carry the feeling that there were resources In his nature for achievements beyond anything that even he had realized? It may be the infinite Father has larger spheres of service for him yonder. Of the life of that realm we have little In detail, but we are told that there His servants shall serve Him. The faith of the laureate even In the time of his bereavement rose high and It was Christian faith:

" 'Nor blame I Death, because he bare The use of virtue out of earth; I know transplanted human worth Will bloom to profit, otherwhere.' "What a noble example he furnished of Intelligent, courageous, continuing patriot ism! He felt himself to the last to be a vital part of the Nation. He did not lose his interest in its welfare after he came out of office. On the contrary, that interest deepened and increased until the strain of ' it upon his mind and heart were heavy. The fiber of his patriotism .was American to the core. Fitly does the flag of the Na tion cover that casket and adorn these walls at this service. That flag! How much it really meant to him! How time and again it sent the blood racing through his veins! How his very tones would grow tremulous as its waving folds met his eyes and his voice was uplifted in support of all that It symbolized! He loved his country with a passionate devotion and believed that It was a country worth dying for and worth living for. "Patriotism is a great word here in America, and it is growing greater. It must do so. It must grow with our growth and deepen and strengthen with our strength as it did in him. A distinguished scholar has asserted that the development of the individual man is all that Is vital in human history, and that is true. Institutions, corporations. Industrial enterprises, organizations, yes, governments, are but the scaffolding for the building of individual manhood. That is the highest product of our civilization. A NEIGHBOR'S MANHOOD. "There was in him whose loss we mourn that which was greater than all his achievements and finer than all his endowmentsa genuine, sturdy, self-reliant, righteous manhood. Behind that quiet, unassuming dignity of manner there was the simplicity and the straightforward sincerity that evidences conscious honesty of purpose. lie could not use assumed cordiality of demeanor in order to win the favor of men. He never would stoop to seek to manage them by playing upon their weaknesses or pandering to their prejudices. His appeal was to the reason and the conscience. That reserve and even austerity that at times marked hi3 demeanor was that of one who did not lack kindliness of heart. Men who were chilled on occasions by the austerity of his manner, especially when he was absorbed in questions of importance and desirous of keeping his judgment clear and unbiased, yet believed in him fully and trusted him implicitly, and they were not disappointed. They found that they could rely upon him. He said what he meant end he stood to what he said. Beneath that austere outward manner there was a genuine sympathy and even a deep human tenderness. "He was honest-minded. That was no small part of his Intellectual strength. It showed Itself in clear thinking; it showed itself also in that mastery of accurate expression which he exhibited. The golden sentences, clear cut and of full value, came from his lips like minted coin. How easily he could say the exact truth in the best way! It was because he was a true man. Unassuming and sensitive to the opinions of his fellow-men, he was yet unwaveringly self-reliant. Ho never abandoned his convictions unless they could be shown to be deficient. He never was false to himself. Underneath his speech and actions there was the bedrock of moral principle. When you reached that you came to something that was immovable. HUMAN EXCELLENCES. "I do not speak these words to magnify human excellence. How imperiously he would resent anything that savored of an ostentatious parading of his virtues! I speak them rather as manifestations of the power and grace of the living God in whom he believed, for at the foundation of his character was his religious faith, strong and reverent and clear. His conception of duty was not limited as is the conception of some men. Duty, as the very word suggests, is that which is due, that which we owe. It is the expression in the structure of the language of man's moral obligation. but that moral obligation does not stop with a man's relation to his family or his city or his State, or his country, that moral obligation goes on and out until It reaches the infinite God. And the sense of duty to God thus uplifting, outreaching, is felt to be the answering pressure of the living God upon our souls. It is Him with whom we have to do and to Him we must give account. How that uplifts and steadies and strengthens men who really live under the power cf it! It did so in his life. "Our responsibility to God? Often have I heard him use that phrase in talk and in prayer! It would be impossible to say how much we will miss him In this church of God where for forty years he has adorned the doctrine of his Saviour by a consistent and faithful life. It would be Impossible to voice the full sense of the grief and loss that fills the hearts of multitudes through out our land. PERSONAL RELATIONS. I cannot trust myself to speak of the, personal relations in which he honored me with as friendship and helped me with his counsels. Rather would I take my place with you who sorrow most and cher ish with you the memories .of his life and the Inspirations of his career and of his religious faith, for his was a deeply re ligious spirit. He was genuinely Christian and to him the gospel of Jesus Christ was the wisdom of God and the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. Salvation of human society as weil as of Individual souls! "Last spring, as the presiding officer of the world's conference of foreign missions, in his opening address, after speaking of the threatening aspects of the social evils of our generation, he said: 'Agencies of man's devising may alleviate, but they cannot cure. Christ in the heart and His gospel of love and ministry In all the activities of life are the only cure. "He being dead yet spoaketh. Friends,

When your day's work leaves you weary and exhausted; when you are so nervous, irritable and sleepless that your nights arc passed in restless tossing; when you get up in the morning with no appetite for breakfast, and go around all day with a headache; you may bo sure your nervous strength is being used up faster than it is being renewed.

I but voice that which I am confident he would most desire when I lift your minds in this sad hour to that divine redeemer in whom he trusted and beseech you to make him more fully than ever the guide and companion in all life's journey. For Jesus Christ Son of God, Son of Man Is the supreme power for life which Is life indeed in this world and in that which is to come." Dr. MccnIlM's Prayer. Immediately at the conclusion of the eloquent tribute paid by Dr. Haines to the memory of the dead statesman. Dr. Niccolls offered prayer, as follows: "Almighty and eternal God, creator and Lord of men, Thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Thou art our refuge and our strength, a very present help in time of trouble. Thou hast revealed Thyself to us as our heavenly Father and hast declared that, like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him. Therefore, we come to Thee. in the time of our sorrow and we humbly beseech Thee through the mediation of Jesus Christ that Thou wouldst regard our prayer and manifest Thy mercy to us in our affliction. "Thy ways, O Lord, are not as our ways, nor Thy thoughts as our thoughts. Thy greatness is unsearchable and clouds and darkness are round about Thee to our vision, but we know that Justice and judgment are the habitation of Thy throno and that mercy and truth go before Thy face. We are indeed carried away as with a flood. Our days are as a hand breadth and the glory and beauty of man are as the flower of the field that perisheth. But blessed be Thy name, Thou hast brought life and immortality for us through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Lord, who was delivered for our offenses and rose 'again for our justification. We rejoice before Thee even in the midst of our sorrow that Thou hast given to us the victcry over death and the grave, and enabled U3 to stand in the assurer! hope of an eternal life. Because we believe Jesus died and rose again, we sorrow not this clay over our dead as those that have no hope, but we bless Thee for that light which shines upon us and gives us peace. MINISTRY AND EXAMPLES. "We thank Thee, our father in heaven, for the ministry and examples of those whom Thou hast raised up and called and endowed with gifts and replenished by Thy Holy Spirit that they might better serve their fellow-men and. lead them on to the fulfillment of Thy eternal purposes in Jesus Christ. For, as Thou hast exalted the mountains that they might bring down from the heights to the vaTleys and fields at their feet the blessings of the clouds, so Thou dost exalt men In honor and power that they may the better Impart Thy gifts to the people whom Thou lovest. Thou makest them the channels of Thy power and of Thy grace. "Especially do we thank Thee this day for the life and ministry of him whose departure from our midst we so greatly deplore. He was Thy good gift unto us, and to this great Nation. Thou didst exalt him in honor and in strength above kings. We thank Thee for all that he was as citizen, as soldier, as statesman, as chief magistrate for the purity and blamelessness of his life, for his devotion to righteousness and principle; for his wisdom and sagacity, and for that penetrating vision which Thou didst give unto him in the affairs of life, by which he became qualified to be the guide and the leader of men. We give Thee our hearty thanks. "Above all we do bless Thee that Thou didst give unto him that faith in Thy Son through the power of which he Illustrated before the world the greatness and beauty of a Christian life. "And now, O merciful Father, as it hath pleased Thee to take that gift from us and to call Thy servant from the tolls and strife of earth to his eternal rest, enable us to say in resignation to Thy will: 'The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away. Blessed be the' name of the Lord.' "O Lord, Thou art the God of truth, of righteousness, but Thou hast also declared that Thou art the God of the widow and the father of the fatherless. By these titles with which Thou hast named thyself, we take hold of Thee and we beseech Thee to fulfill them in all of Thy fullness to the family so sorely afflicted. Look upon them in Thy fatherly pity and so guide and strengthen them in the midst cf sorrow that, remembering all of Thy mercies and kindnesses In the past, Thy many and great promises of help and Thy great love in Jesus Christ, unto him, they may meekly submit themselves to Thy fatherly discipline. Do Thou, O Lord our God, so chasten them in sorrow as to bring them into closer fellowship with thyself, and may the broken ties of earth make the bonds of the heavenly home stronger and dearer unto them. A SORROWING COUNTRY. "O Lord, God of our fathers, remember this day, we beseech Thee, our sorrowing country, and as Thou hast taken away another of those whom Thou hast appointed to be leaders among the people, and who in the past did lead them as a shepherd leads his flock, we beseech Thee that Thou wouldst raise up others to take his place. And may the light of Thy . example, and especially the light which comes from the life of Thy servant whom we mourn today, so touch the hearts of young men that they may be Inspired to love their country purely and sincerely and walk in righteousness and recognize in duty supreme loyalty to God, and let a double poriion of the spirit of him who so loyally served fall upon them to qualify them for the larger duties of the future. "Bless, we beseech Thee, Thy servant, the President of these United States; his counselors; Thy servant, the Governor of this Commonwealth, and the Governors of the States. Replenish them with Thy Holy Spirit for their high office. Grant unto them health and prosperity lonrr to jvr rr-d

"Remember, we beseech Thee, O God of Zion, that as Thou hast taken from us a strong pillar, a leader and a guide among men, raise up others among them, we beseech Thee, who shall follow In his footsteps and serve Thee in all fidelity as he hath done. LESSONS OF FROVIDENCE. "Remember us all this day, we beseeoh Thee, In the midst of this sorrow, and may the lessons of Thy providence be doubly Impressed upon our hearts. While Thou dost remind us of the frailty of our mortal life, may we also have some new and clearer vision of the greatness of life In Jesus Christ, and do Thou enable us by Thy grace so to live through trust in Jesus Christ that when the hour of our departure shall come we shall receive not alone as our praise the tears of sorrowing friendship and the approval of good men, but hear on the other side that message which fhall be a reward above all rewards anü bring to our hearts a joy above all joy as Thou shalt say, 'Well done, good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things; I will make thee ruler over many things. Enter thou into the Joy of thy Lord.' For that hour and for that reward keep us all by Thine abounding grace. And this we ask only in the name and for the sake of Him that taught u to pray: 'Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come; Thy will ba. done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom, ind the power, and the glory forever. Amen.' " Following the prayer by Dr. Niccolls the choir sang with great feeling tho hymn, "Hark, Hark. My Soul!" which was a favorite with the late General Harrison. The tenor solo was taken by Director Nell and the chorus by the full choir. Dr. Haines requested the congregation to remain in the church until the pa 11 bearers and the family and close friends of the deceased had taken their departure. He then pronounced the benediction, as follows: "And may tho peace of God that passeth all understanding keep the hearts of these sorrowing ones and of all these present, and the children cf God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen." The organ played in subdued tones the famous Chopin funeral march as the funeral cortege and congregation passed from the church. The congregation arose In a body in silent tribute of respect to the body and mourners as they' moved slowly down the aisles to the doors. AT THE CEMETERY. The Drlef but Beautiful Ceremonies at the Grave. Tho last sad rites accorded to General Harrison at Crown Hill Cemetery yesterday afternoon were exceedingly brief and simple, the entire service at tho grave occupying less than fifteen minutes. A short burial service was read, a simple prayer, three white flowers dropped on the casket and then the body of Indiana's greatest citizen was laid to rest forever. Every circumstance and every environment bore mute witness to the greatness of the dead. Around the grave were grouped the immediate family, the President of the United States, men who had been officers of General Harrison's Cabinet, United States senators, the Governors of various States of the Union and some of the foremost citizens of the State of Indiana and the United States. A space nearly seventy-five yards square had been roped off around the grave, and bacK of these ropes as far as the eye could reach there stood In silent and sorrowful array more than fifteen thousand people who had assembled to pay a last tribute to their honored fellow-citizen. Among the vast concourse were women who had stood for four hours, some with children in their arms, apparently unmindful of fatigue or the long wait that ensued before the coming of the cortege. There were old men who grew so tired from standing that Ihey had to hold on to their neighbors to keep from falling; there were children who had become lost from their parents; some were there . with empty sleeves, but whatever their degree or station in life, and whatever might have been the discomfort attending the long wait, they all remained to the last, silent and uncomplaining. ASSEMBLING OF CROWD. The crowd began to assemble at Crown Hill as early as 1 o'clock and within an hour from that time a conservative estimate placed the number at 10,000 people. Two hours later the size of the crowd had been almost doubled. The main avenue leading from the wet gate of the cemetery to the grave was constantly patrolled and kept free from travel by a squad of soldiers. The burial lot belonging to the Harrison family Is situated on a rising knoll, the monument occupying a position almost In its center. Ju.t east of the monument and parallel with the grave of the first Mrs. Harrison an underground stone vault had been built for the body of General Harrison: The grave of Mrs. Harrison was completely covered with a mass of American Beauty roses. At 4:30 p. m. the wagon of the florist contanlng the magnificent floral gifts arrived, and the beautiful emblems were placed in a seml-clrcle on the knoll. Just west of the grave. The funeral cortege, which came from the church without Incident, did not arrive; at the cemetery until 5:10 o'clock. In advance were the mounted patrolmen. They were followed by the carriages containing the ministers and the honorary and active pallbearers. When the hearse arrhed at a point opposite the grave the procession came to a halt, and the whole party Immediately descended from the carriages and formed in line for the final march to th3 grave, in the same order that had been previously observed. The casket was placed on a bier at the south !." of the r-n

and the immediate family took up a position JuEt behind it. President McKinley, with Senator Fairbanks and others, stood at the head of the grave and the pallbearers and other friends constituting the party to the north and eat of it. THE BURIAL SERVICE. As soon as the party had gathered around the grave the Rev. Samuel J. Niccolls, of St. Louis, began reading In a low tone a part of the regular burial service from the Presbyterian ritual. The words were as follows: "I would not have you to be Ignorant, brethren, concerning which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hoie. For if we believe that Jtus died and rose again, even so then also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him." As soon as the beautiful words had been concluded the funeral director began saying the words, "Dust to dust, ashe to ashes," etc.. dropping, as he spoke, Ihre beautiful white roses on the casket, instead of the customary dust. The casket was then lowered into the grave and hermetically sealed in its vault of oolitic granite. Mrs. Harrison, who had maintained a steady composure up to this time, began to weep softly when the casket was lowered from her sight, and her head was gradually bowed to the arm of her escort. She seemed to take comfort, however, in th following beautiful words, read by the Rev. Mr. Niccolls after tVie vault had been sealed: "I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, right blessed are the deed which die in the Lord from heneeforth. Yea, salth the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their words to follow them. For as much as it hath pleased Almighty God. in His wise providence, to tako out of the world the soul of our brother departed, we, therefore, commit hli body to the ground; earth, to earth, athti to ashes, dust to dust; looking for the general resurrection In the last day, and the life of tho world to come, through our Lord Jesus Christ; at whose second coming ia glorious majesty to Judge the world, the earth and the sea shall give up their dead; and the corruptible bodies of thoe who sleep in Him shall be changed and made like unto His glorious body, according to the mighty working whereby He is able to , subdue all things unto Himself." DR. HAINES'S PRAYER. The ceremony at the grave was then concluded with the following prayer offered bjr Rev. M. L. Haines: "Almighty God, with whom do live the spirits of those who depart hence in the Lord and with whom the souls of the faithful, after they are delivered fron the burden of tho flesh, are in Joy and felicity, we give Thee hearty thanks for the good examples of all those Thy servants who, having finished their course in faith, do now reist from, their labort; and we beseech Thee that we, with all those who are departed in tho true faith of Thy holy name, may have our perfect consummation and bliss in Thy eternal and everlasting glory. "O merciful God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the resurrection and the life, in whom whosoever believeth shall live, though he die, whosoever liveth and believeth in Him shall not tie eternally, who also hath taught us y His holy a;ostle not to be sorry as men without hop for those who sleep In Him. we humbly beseech Thee, O Father, to raise us from the death of sin unto the life of righteousness, that when we shall depart this life we may be found acceptable In Thv sight and receive that blessing which Thy beloved Son shall then pronounce to all who love and fear Thee, saying, come, ye bleteed children of my Father, receive the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of tho world. Grant this, we beseech Thee, O merciful Father, through Jesus Christ, our mediator and redeemer. "The grace of our Iord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the, fellowship of the Holy Ghost be with us all evermore. Amen." As soon as the benediction bad been pronounced the funeral party returned to the carriages without delay and tegan driving rapidly from the cemetery. The big crowd which had silently witnessed the last ceremonies at the grave remained for a short time to Inspect the beautiful flowers and then legan to slowly make Its exit, innny not reaching their homes until long after 7 o'clock.
