Prayers Were said at the house then the funeral cortege Emoved to St. Paul’s church, where the more formal rights of the ' Episcopal church were observed. The church was well filled with those who had known and'loved the aged hero in life and desired to pay further homage to his memory. ' The services here were most impres sively beautiful and sweetly touching in. their Christ-like simplicity. At. the .close, the remains were moved to the church portals, the casket opened and friends permitted tolook upon the kind- ly face of the honored dead. The casket was fittingly draped with the American flag, surmounted with the General’s army sword, hat, sash, belt and gauntlets. Among the distinguished strangers present, were the ex-Governor Waller and Gen. James McManus of Hartford, Gen E. L. Bissell and 001. L. D.

The General’s widow did not go to the church because of her exhausted condition and the further de‘ - mands upon her strength to-day and to-morrow, when thefgrand old warrior, honored citizen and beloved friend is to be laid at rest. One of the touching incidents of the gatherings at St. Paul’s yesterday was the presence of Harace Staples of West- p‘ort, who is.the oldest National Bank President in America who was driven over in a sleign at the great age of ninty- six years and fifteen days to look for the last time upon the face of his dead friend. The period can but be short. when the venerable Westport philan- thiopist will join his beloved. friend in _ the better world. At Taunton the funeral will be met at the depot by'the William H.

There is a large body of bolters in Nor walk and vicinity. The movement has been gaining force for some time and has become so powerful that those interested are anxious to declare themselves, They are bolting ancient and useless methods of treating catarrh and hay fever, and they have come out in full force for California Catarrh Cure, because they have tried it and know its worth. Here are fvords from a Norwalk man who has tried many medicines and treatments before he got what he wanted in California Catarrh Cure, the greatest and only known cure for catarrh: - Mr. Alfred Platt, 9 Maple street, Nor- -walk, says: “I have been a great sufferer from catarrh for over thirty years, hav- ing contracted the disease during the war. My whole head seemed full 'of scabs, and the discharge from the nose and ‘nto the throat was something awful. My head ached almost continually, and I never got a good night’s sleep. I pro- cured a bcttle of California Catarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug store, South Norwalk. It has given me more relief than I have had for years; my head is very much im- proved and I can now sleep all night. It is certainly 'a great reliever, and I am glad to recommend it. Nothing among all the things I tried before helped me one quarter as much in months, as C, C C. has in a few weeks, ” You don’t have to wait to find out if it will help you, for it relieves at once. To avoid Hay Fever in its season. use C. C. C. now, It is a sure preventive of this and all mucous diseases. Use it to break up your colds. and to event colds "hanging on.” Price, 5 cents; three times as much for one dollar. "Hoyt’s Theatre. Saki-3.713610. 201711 EdisonlE—s'cupe and Novellyto.
