so rigid in its plainness as to seem almost un-
suited to the national character of the sad
rite characterized the arrangements for the
funeral of Chester A, Arthur.
Notwithstanding the fact that the family
was desirous of a private funeral, the gather-
ing of notable men at the church was an ex-
ceptional one, The cards of invitation to the
religions coremonies were limited to 1,000,
