All Bull’s OBSEQUIES. Man Who Might Have Been France’s Emperor Buried In England. NOTABLES, AT STOWE HOUSE. Last of the Earthly Remains of the Count of Paris—Royal Families Bepresent- , ,ed at the Ceremonies—Hom- age to the Duke of Orleans. LONDON, Sept. 13.——Crowds of people from daybreak commenced wending their way from Datford, Buckingham and 0th- or places to Stowe House, the English res- idence of the late Comte de Paris, in order to make an attempt to ;view the casket containing the remains. The latter re- posed in state in the handsome marble hall of the home of the exiled head of the royal house of Orleans and Bourbon, and a large number of people passed silently . and uncovered before the bier fromsthe earliest morning hours until the signal was given to clear the hall and prepare for the removal of the body to the railroad sta ion. he throngs which passed up and'down the splendid avenue of trees leading to Stowe House were of all classes and de- grees, of nearly all nationalities and arcade. French and English mingled with Germans and Americans, rich and poor elbowed each other, the deeply subdued royalist of France followed behind the tourist of many lands, all bent upon reaching the same goal—the marble hall, draped with violet velvet, besprinkled with flower-de-luce, in which rested the mortal remains of the descendant of along line of kings of France. The arrangements for the funeral were completed, when, shortly after sunrise, a hearse, drawn by six superb Flemish horses, arrived from London and was slowly driven to the secluded portion of the grounds, there to await until summoned to the entrance of Stowo House in order to convey the body of the Comte de Paris on it's way toward Weybridge.. Many Notabllities Present. The early trains from London also brought to Datford hundreds of notable people, and a very much greater number of people attracted to Stowe House out of curiosity or by the desire to’ pay a trib- ute of respect to the illustrious dead. The notabilities who went to Stowe House included official or unofliciai repre- sentatives of nearly all the nations of the world, and gathered there‘during the day were princes and princesses representing nearly every reigning family in Europe. From Loridon some time previously a handsome funeral train had arrived, som- berly draped inside and out, darkly im- pressive. With it came a detachment of troops to line the route from Stowe Heuse, and at 5:15 a. m. a small army of sight- seers had assembled in the neighborhood. These crowds were constantly augmented until 7 o’clock, when the hearse and 10 mourning coaches were drawn up in front of the right wing of the residence of the Orleans family. The hearse bore six hatchments of flower—de-luce and was heavy with bowing plumes. An almost countless number of floral wreaths had arrived at Stowe House, many of them being conveyed there‘ by special messengers from Paris and other parts of France. Among the latter was a magnificent floral wreath 8 feet in diameter and composed of lilies, roses and orchids, attached to which was a tricolor bow, sent by Baron Alphonse do Roths- child. Another very handsome tribute of flowors was sent by Mrs. George B. Mc- Clellan, the widow of General McClellan, upon whose staff the Comte do Paris served for a time during the civil war in the United States. ' The Last Sad Rites. _ The family of the Comte de Paris as- sembled around the bier about 6:80 a. m., and, ._at 7 a. m. the bell of the private 'fbliE 2 when pim lee, boils, carbuncles and like maniigstations of impure blood appear.

At 7:45 a. m. the casket, .covered with a pail of violet velvet, over which was the tricolor flag of France. was removed from the marble hall to the hearse. Then the princes, all in evening dress, took places, according to their rank, be- hind the Duc d’Orleans, eldest son of the dead man, who acted as chief mourner. Behind the princes followed a mourning carriage containing the Comtesse de Paris, the queen of Portugal (her eldest daughter), Princess Helen of Orleans and the Duchess de Montpensier. After this carriage followed others in which :--were other ladies of the royal family of France. Behind the vehicles were the carriages, with shades down. of many noble fami- lies of England. and after them marched a procession of villagers and dependents. . At the entrance of the park, which was not reached until 8:50 a. m., the mayor and alderman and a detachment of volun- teersawaited the cortege and joined in the procession. The route through the town was dense- ly packed with. people. All the stores were closed, and mourning emblems were displayed on all sides. The casket was placed in the funeral train amid profound silence. As the aged Duchess do Montpe‘nsier was standing, sadly, alone, upon the sta- tion platform, watching the transfer of the remains of the Comte de Paris form the- hearse to the car which was to convey it to Weybridge, Surrey, the Due do Char- tres, brother of the dead man, went up to her and introduced a venerable priest, who, barehcaded, knelt and kissed her hand. . 'At the Church. ' . The funeral train reached Weybridge at noon, and the procession marched from the railroad station to the old church where the remains of the Duchesse do No- mours, aunt of the Comte de Paris, are buried. In this church the ‘ bodies of Louis Philippe and his wife were placed before being transferred to Dreux‘, France, for final interment. The body was met at the door by the bishop of Southwark, in violet canonicals, attended by the minor clergy. ' The bishop sprinkled the casket with holy water, and then the notable mourners followed the remains into the sacred edi- fice. But the church was small and many people of rank were consequently excluded. The coffin was placed upon acatafalque in the center of the church, and then Mgr. Daulst, who administered the last sacra- ment to the Comte de Paris about a week ago, celebrated a requiem .mass, assisted by Cardinal Vaughn and by the bishop of Southwark; - The altar steps and side chapels were full of floral offerings-and on either side of the chancel were displayed two flags of the J eunesse Royalists' association. draped with craps and held by young men of the royalist party of France. Queen Victoria's Representatives. The Duke of York, representing Queen Victoria, was seated near the altar. The Duke of Connaught, representing the British army, and the Marquis of Lorne had seats in the body of the church. ‘ The religious ceremonies were very sol- emn and impressive and after they had been concluded the casket was borne around to the rear of the building, where it was deposited in a vault. To reach the latter the cortege had to pass along the roadway, where thousands of people stood reverently uncovered as the cdsket was carried to the vault. _ It is still believed that after a proper time has elapsed the remains of the Comte de Paris, by permission of the French gov- ernment, will be transferred to Dreux, where rest the bodies of Louis Philippe ~ and his wife. After the vault was closed the ladies re- turned to Stowe House, and the Due d’Orleans, accompanied by a number of friends, went to London, where he held a reception at the Grosvenor hotel, which was attended by all the visiting royalists. FAMOUS BUILDING , BURNED. Fire Destroys an Old House Identified With an Indian Massacre. PRINCETON., Ills. Sept. 13.—One of the old landmarks of northern Illinois was destroyed by fire today. It was situated nine miles north of this city and was the first house erected by white men in the northern half of the state. ’ It was located 0.7-) the old Dixon trail, once the principal highway to the northwest. Near this site, before the Black Hawk war, lived John Dimmick and , his family. They Were warned by the old Chief Shabbona to flee to the blockhouse at Princeton and saved their lives. The family of Rev. John Hall, who lived in the old house, laughed at the old chief, and when the raid came were all massacred, except a little girl. She fought so desperately and bravely for a hair orna- ment which she possessed that the‘Indians were struck with her courage and spared her. The father, mother and another daughter were taken to the edge of the timber, one mile north of Princeton, where they were burned at the stake. A'cemetery was later located at the spot in honor of their memory. ' The old house was afterward owned by Dr. Collins, but has not been inhabited, except by a few woodchoppers for a few months, since old Mr. Collins was found dead there about 10 years ago. The Early Settlers’ association may mark the place with a. monument. _,,, WASHINGTON, Sept 13.—The rumor published. in New York today that Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt .contcm- plated resigning from the board in order 'to become Republican candidate for mayor of New York is believed here not to be accurate at the present time. Several months ago‘Mr. Roosevelt, in casual con- versation with close friends, mentioned an aspiration to become mayor, but has since then'changed his mind.

Anxious to Have the Next Encampment Held at'Lonisvllie—Tokens For Com- mander and Mrs. Adana—Sub- sidiary Organizations Meet. 0 _ Pirrsnune, Sept. 13.-‘-'Th8 delegates to the national encampment of the G. A. R. got down to a solid business basis today. While 200,000 persons have left the city since the last old soldier passed in review yesterday, there are still 200,000 strangers in town, the majority of whom will stay until Saturday and Sunday, while some will remain even longer. The national encampment opened this morning in the new Grand Opera House. The command- er in chief and delegates were welcomed on behalf of the citizens’ executive board by Chairman Daniel C. Ripley, and also mittee on invitations and reception. Gov- anor Pattison welcomed them on behalf of the state of Pennsylvania, while Mayor McKenna of‘ Pittsburg and Mayor Ken- nedy of Allegheny performed the same pleasant duty on behalf of their respec- tive cities. The serious business of the encampment 'proper then began. The election for com- mander-in-chief will net be held until to- morrow. Since the withdrawal of Judge Charles D. Long of Michigan the opinion is rapidly growing that Colonel T. N. Walker of Indiana will secure the coveted honor. The selection of the next encamp- ment city has also been deferred until to- morrow. While the surface indications are that Louisville will have a walkover, it is hint- ed that St. Paul has been doing good work in a quiet but very effective way. A Big Reception. Great was the recepiton of the G. A. R. delegates given this eVenlng in the West- inghouse buildings at cast Pittsburg. Five thousand invitations had been issued to‘carefully chosengguests, and the demand most urgent, but without avail. It was rumored that some persons receiving tickets have been selling them at a high figure, but the committee having the af- fair in charge saw that only the original holders offthe invitationsfwero admitted. The staff of Captain Jack Adams, the retiring commander in chief, presented him with a badge studded _with diamonds, combining the past commander’s insignia, the corps badge and the grand army star. Mrs. Adams was also honored by being elected honorary member of the stafl‘, the second woman to receive such a compli- ment, the. wife of General Alger being the first. Mrs. Adams was given a bean— tiful diamond souvenir. Major A. P. Burchfleld advanced to the front of the stage and presented to the commander in chief a gavel that was em- blematic and of great historic interest. It is'made of wood from Fort Sumter, Ap< pomattox, Gettysburg and Libby prison and is bound with metal from historic cannon. It is thus symbolic of the open- ing and the closing of the war. The wood from Gettysburg was taken from near the spot where the commander in chief was wounded, and as he was a prisoner in Lib— cent associations. The gavel is inscribed as follows: “Present-ed by the citizens of Pittsburg and Allegheny to Captain J. G. B. Adams, commander in chief of the G. A. R., at the encampment held in Pittsburg, 1894.” The report of the committee on legisla- tion recites that the G. A. R. endeavored to urge upon the Fifty-third congress at its long session the duty incumbent on this great nation to give preference in every public employment to the survivors of the war for the Union by the onset ment of a law which would. though tardi- ly, carry out the promises made these men in sections 1754 and 1755, Revised Stat- utes United States, passed March 9, 1865. Henry “’aitetson Speaks. Henry Watterson was int-reduced to the delegates, and in presenting the claims of Louisville for the next national encampé ment said: “I have come with a message from your countrymen who dwell in what was once the nether side of the line, but whose hearts beat in ready response to your hearts and who bid me to. tell you that they want to see you. Candor compels me to say that there was a time when they did not want to see you. a time when, without any invitation whatever, either written or verbal, with- out so much' as an intimation of hospital- ity, you insisted upon giving us the honor of your company and, as it turned out, when we were but ill prepared to receive pared, now that the lid is off the pot and that the latchstring hangs outside the door, you should refuse us the happiness of entertaining you. ‘not with bloody hands to hospitable graves,’ but. as friends and brothers, asfellow citizens who learned to value one another amid scenes that left no time for equivocation and transactions applying to human virtues the very high- est tests.” Commander In Chief Adams then called the delegates to order again after Mr. Wat- ters‘on had withdrawn. The credentials of the delegates having been examined, the annual reports of the national officers were taken up and read. They all showed 'that the order was in a remarkably flour- ishing condition. ' The last parade of the encampment oc- curred in the afternoon, when the Union strong, every State in the Union having one or more representatives in the ranks. John H. Hancock was marshal, James Atwell adjutant general and William McKelvey chief of staff. The ex-prisoners were escorted by the Fourteenth and Eighteenth regiments, N. C. P., with 1,000 men and oflicers. The boys’ brigade, numberin 400, was also in line. The Woédan’s Relief corps also held a meeting. The national president, Mrs. Sarah C. Minck, in her report, said that [the movement to Obtain pensions for army nth-nu: had been pushed during, the year, by W. C.

It were a pity, now that we are pre- ' ex-prisoners of war turned out 1,000‘ and referred to work done in securing a general observance of Memorial day. The report of the national secretary, Mr.s Sarah E. Phillips, shows the number of the corps to be 2, 686; amount expended for relief during the year, $64,151.59; amount lurned over to posts, $30,181.71; amount expended for Memorial day, $18,- 827.37; amount expended for W.

Fnrnrscnn's'; GREAT run). He Crossed the Atlantic In His nttle Boat In Very Good Time. QUEENSTOWN, sept. 13.—The little schooner Nina, Captain Frietsehe, arrived here today from New York. ‘ NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—-The Nina sailed from New York on Sunday, Aug. 5. She ‘left the Batteryin‘tow of the tug Me-~ Caldin Bros. at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, and at 5 o’clock in the evening of the fol- lowing day she wasspoken by pilotboat lands, making good headway. She thus makes the trip across the'Atlantic in 38 days, remarkable tilne for such a craft, and only nine days behind the time made by the yacht Valkyiiie when she returned to England from this country. The Nina is a schooner rigged: sharpie, 47 feet over all. She was brou ht here b Captain Frietsehe from Mil aukee in one last. When he arrived hole, Captain Frietsohe was without funds hnd put his boat on exhibition for the purpose of 'obtaining the amount necesshry to provision and equip his craft bef§re undertaking his voyage across the Atlantic. The boat commanded consid able attention, and with the funds thus 3 aised, together with the assistance of his Swedish friends here, the captain had the Nina put in readiness for the trip. In shipping circles consider- able doubt was expressed as to the ability of the Nina to cross -‘ the ocean in safety, but her safe arrival today proves that the fears were unfounded. Captain Freitsche was the only soul onboard the Nina. A Veteran Drops Dead. PITTSBURG, Sept. 13. —Alfred Appel, aged 65 years, New‘York city, fell dead of heart disease in the Eighteenth regi- ment armory, where he was quartered. He belonged to Post 231- of Moadville, Pa., and came to the encampment with his or- ganization. and appeared well and cheerful when he went to bed. He arose this morning and chatted with his comrades for a' few min. utes. Then he fell to the floor dead. \Vestinghouse Beats Edison.
