Final Resting Flace
of the Dead.

The funeral services over the remains of
Mrs. Harrison, iu the White House at
Washington on Thursday, were brief and
simple, as was the express wish of the Presi-
dent. The services were held in the East
ryoom at 10 o'clock.
© At either end of the casket stood an im-
mense sago palm. whose graceful, wa ving
branches reached nearly to the ceiling of
the magnificent apartment. The chande-
liers cast a flood of mellow light, the win-
dows having been darkened. The several
mantels were banked with ferns, and
Dr. Hamlin, the pastor of the Church of
the Covenant, read the opening passage 0
Scripture: *‘In My Father's house are many
mansions,” and the other selected passages.
This was followed by a brief prayer, which
was closed by the Lord's Prayer, which all
present repeated in low tones, after the
officiating clergyman. Then Dr. Bartlett
read from the pt. Tes appropriate pas-
es. The choir of St. John’s Church, sta-
tioned in the adjoining room, then sang the
hymn:
“Abide with me. fast falls the evening tide,
The combat deepens, Lo.d with me abide.”
The strains were softened by distance,
lending added pathos and solemnity to the
scene. Then Dr. Hamlin offered prayer.
From their recessed concealment in the
adjoining room the choir rang the first two
stanzas of ‘‘Lead, Kindly L ght.’ Cardinal
Newman's beautiful hymn, which Mrs.
Harrison so much admired.
It was 10:40 o'clock when the services con-
cluded. The casket was then borne to the
hearse and the funeral procession proceed
to the Pennsylvania railroad station.
The funeral cortege arrived at the Penn.

awaited them. The train left Washington

flanked at each end by a larger palm.
Around the casket were grouped the great
wea th of floral offerings. They filled all
the space on either side of the casket, al-
most to the windows on the east and the
dloor on the west.
Among the floral tributes were a wreath
of chrysathemums from = Queen Victoria,
presented by Michael Herbert, British
Charge d’ Affairs; a mammoth wreath from
the diplomatic corps, composed of chrysan-
themums, bride roses, pink orchids, ferns
and palms; a wreath of large chrysathemums
surrounding a unch of 00s€e
biooms from the cabinet;an immense shield
of white chrysanthemums and roses, in the
face of which was worked in purple the
msignia of the order, from the Washington
City Chapter of the Daughters of the Revo-
lution.
; re A SOLEMN, SIMPLE SERVICE.
The tall clock 1n the public ballway tolled
ont 10 strokes, when the first sign of the be-
ginning of the ceremonial appeared. "At the
«nd, and to one side of the private corrider
that enters the East room, isa broad stair-
case, and down this came the mourners. At
the head was Benjamin Harrison, the hus-
band. Ieaningon his arm was Mrs. J
McKee, his daughter, whose devotion to her
snother knew no fatigue. The face of the
President was of a deathly pallor and traces
of mental suffering were deeply marked.
Russell B. Harrison, supporting his wife,
followed the father and sister. Then came
the venerable parent of the deceased mis-
tress of the White House, the Rev. Dr. J. W.
Scott, escorting Mrs. John F. Parker, the
piece of Mrs. Harrison, J.Robert McKee and
Mrs. Mary 8. Dimmick, the son-in-law and
niece of the dead woman, Those present,
barely 200 in number, were almost exclu-
sively the official family of the President
and those whose relations with the family
put them on the footing of domestic friends.

While the train stood “in ‘the station at
Harrisburg the sweet strains of Muhlen-
berg’s hymn, *'T would Not Live Alway.”
ealing forth from the chimes of the First
DR theran church. a block or two from the
station, greeted the ears of the pass-ngers
hearts of the sorrowing ones.
BETWEEN LINES OF VETERANS
THE FUNERAL CORTEGE PASSED TO THE CHURCH
IN INDIANAPOLIS.—THE CITY GARBED IN
DEEP: MOURNING.
The capital of Indiana is in mourning gard
forits favorite daughter. Somber drapery
is seen on ‘every hand. Flags are dis-
played at balf mast from roof and window,
and for block after block there is hardly a
building that is not draped to more or less
extent.
The route of the funeral procession from
the depot to the church was lined ' with
Grand Army men, and the cortege passed
between a double line of veterans. The
First Presbyterian Church, where the servi-
.ces were held, and business houses along
the route to the church were draped with
tokens of mourning.
The services, in accordance’ with the
President's desire, were very simple and be-
gan with Cardinal Newman's hymn. ‘‘Lead,
Kindly Light,”’ by the choir. The Rev. Dr.
Haines, Mts. Harrison’s pastor during the
“Imtter years of her residence in Indianapo-
‘lis, delivered a short invocation. = A selec
tion of Scripture was read and the pastor
then made a brief address. The mourners
were led in prayer by the Rev. Dr. Hyde, of
the Congregational church, and after the
rendition of the hymn, commencing, ‘‘One
Sweetly Solemn Thought,” Dr. Haines pro-
nounced the benediction. At the grave a
short passage of Scrivture was read, and a
prayer offered as the casket was lowered into
the vault.

mate friends. . The members of the cabinet
and their families had luncheon at the
Denison house.
A large crowd assembled at the station to
pay a parting tribute to the President, but

ing of the head on the part of the men and
® waving of handkerchiefson the part of
the women and children. The train: reach:
ed Washington Saturday evening. Just be-
fore his departure the President gave to the
press a note to the public of which the fol

FOUR LIVES WERE LOST.
The Loss Will Reach
3 _iions.
Nearly Six Mil
At Milwaukee, Wis., scores of the largest
business firms, together with hundreds of
frame houses, were destroyed by fire Friday. -
Cormimencing at 5:50 o'clock in the estab-
lishment of the Union Oil Company, at275
East Water street, near the river, the
flames, driven by a fearful hurricane which
was blowing, spread with frightful rapidity
to the lake, over half an mile to the East.
It is utterly impossible to estimate the loss
with any degree ofiaccuracy- Even a com-
plete list of the big business houses cinyiot
be obtained, while to those must be added.
the small individual losses of hundreds - of
small property owners, whose houses an@™
household goods have been destroyed. As
it is, the loss will probably amount to $8,-
300,000 or $10,000,000. The tract burned is
over a half a mile wide east and west, and a
mile north and south.
After wiping out the
wholesale establishments, the
fire founi eas prey in
the scores of blocks, filled with frame
houses, which extend east of Milwaukee
street. From these the Hames leaped 10 the
freight house of the Milwaukee, Lake
Shore and Western railroad. These caught
on the extreme southern end, and ina mo-
ment were ablaze along their whole length
over two blocks Adjoining the depots
were the freight yards of the same rail-
road as well as of the Chicago and North-
western. These vards were filled with
hundreds of loaded cars, all of which ‘vere
quickly consumed. As soon as it was seen
that the yards were in the path of the fire,
a score of switch engines were set to work
to get the loaded cars out of the yard. The
men worked bravely and succeeded
in removing some of the cars, but they
“could only take them farther
south, the yards to the north being blocked.
This did no good, asthe wind suddenly
shifted from the Northwestalmost direct
factories and
had just escaped the flames in one place,
were burned 1n another. it was in these
yards that some of the most pitiful sights
were seen. In one place a half dozen poul-
try cars, full of ducks and chickens, were
roasted alive. As soon asthe destruction of
the railroad yards was assured, the wind,
as though prompred by malice, veered from
west to north. ad it remained in the west
the fire would have exhausted itself in the
ake.
