bands rendered at frequent intervals
along tho-route the president's favorite
hymn. “Nearer. My God. To Thee.” The
procession occupied one hour and a
half in passing a given point.
The services at the capitol were sim-
ple and beautiful. They were of the
form prescribed in the Methodist
Church. Two hymns, a prayer. an ad-
dress uud abeuedlcilon comprised all
of it. yet the impression left at the end
of it was of perfection.
Absolutely no attempt had been made
to drape the interior of the vast ro-
tunda. and save for the black structure
in the center. and a small organ. and
the floral pieces set against the walls
beneath the eight historical paintings.
the place presented its usual aspect be-
fore the services began. The catnfnlque
was exceedingly simple in‘ design. All
oblong platform about 9 by 12 feet. and
raised but six inches above the floor.
supported the bier which was the same
plain. strong structure that has been
used at the capitol since Lincoln's day
for state funerals. lt occupied the cen-
tre of a circle of perhaps forty feet in
diameter. A dosen circular rows of
cane seated chairs sufficed to fill out the
space remaining in the rotunda. except-
ing the four broad aisles. rllnulng to-
ward the cardinal points of the com-
pass.
Among the first comers were the ar-
my officers. General Randolph. in
charge of the military arrangements at
the capitol. was first among these. and
soon afterward came General Gillespie,
chief of engineers. and General Fitz-
hugh Lee. Soon the number of officers
became too great to distinguish between
them and the rotunda began to light up
with the dashes of gold lace and gilt
billions and flashing scabbards. scat-
tered through the soberly dressed crowd
of civilians. Before 10 o'clock the lat-
ter ilnd assembled in such numbers as
to fill the greater part of the seating
space not reserved for the persons in
the funeral procession.
Just at 10 o'clock. Admiral Dewey
made his appearance. accompanied by
General Otis. General Davis and Gene-
ral Buggies. He took up his station at
the eastern entrance where he was
lolued by the other members of the
guard of honor.
Mrs. Hobart with her son. and Mrs.
Russell A. Alger, escorted by Colo-
ue. Hecker. also entered during this
time of waiting. The clergymen and
the choir. the letter from the Metro-
politan M. E. Church. which Mr. Mc-
Kinley attended. filed in and were sent-
ed at the head of the catnfalquc. At
twenty minutes to if o'clock the cabi-
net entered aud were seated to the
south of the platform: and then to the
strains of "Nearer. My God, to Thee."
by the Marine band outside. the (ills-
ket was borne into the rotunda? Gen.
eral Gillespie and Colonel Bingham led
the way and every one arose. Tile
guard of honor on'cither side separat-
cd and the casket was placed gently
upon the catafalque. Next came the
family of the deceased. Abner McKin-
ley leading. Tilevaere seated near
the head of the casket. Mrs. McKinley
was not present. Senator Hanna was
with the family party. Next the dip
lomatio corps entered. all in full court
regalia. and were seated to the/“south.
Former President Cleveland with Gen-
eral Wilson. his escort. sat in the
first row. Lastly" came President
Roosevelt. escorted by Captain Carlos
and preceded by Mr. Cortciyou. secre-
tary to the president. He was given
a seat at the end of the row occupied
by the cabinet. just south of the cus-
ket. Mr. Roosevelt’s face was set and
he appeared to be restraining his emo.
tions with dufficuity.

And now. Lord. we humbly pray for
'l‘hy blessing and consolation to come
to all Thy people in our land and un-
tion. Forgive our past short-comings:
our sins of omission. as well as our
sins of commission.
Help us to make. the golden rule the
standard of our lives. that we may “do
unto others as we would have them do
unto us." and thus become indeed a
people whose God is the Lord. '*
These things we humbly ask in the
name of Him who taught us when we
pray to say: Ollr Father. who art in
Heaven. hallowed by Thy name. Thy
Kingdom come. Thy will be done, on
earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this
day our daily bread. and forgive us our.
trespasses. .“9 we forgive them that
trespass a ainst us. and lead us not in-
to tem’ f on. but deliver us from evil;,
for 1‘ no is the kingdom. and the pow.
er additive glory. forever. Amen. . ,

although the bishop spoke in clear and
firm tones. the rippling echoes from all
sides made it difficult for thallearers a
short distance from him to catch his
words.
Theoddress lasted only a bare quar-
ter of an hour. As the bishop conclud-

The last notes died sway softly; and
with uplifted hands the benediction was
