had scarcely ended tho final benediction
before ho turned to go up tho nltar steps.
Ills night and strength failed him and he

th
brilliant coloring to tho scene. The chief
mourner himself, with his field marshal
uniform, ivcn though this was partially
hidden by his overcoat, surrounded by his
corps, helped to leaven tho symbols of
mourning marking tho route.
Never In English history has a sovereign
been borne to tho grave attended by so
many distinguished mourners. The gather
ing of crowned heads surpassed those who
rode in the Jubilee procession. All th
great officers of state participated.
The display of the naval and military
forces reached tho great total of 35,000 men.
II rl 1 1 In II t nnd liiiiirrnlvc.
Tho scene at Victoria station from early
morning was most brilliant and impressive.
For today'a ceremony the station waa trans
formed into an immense reception hall. All
tho trains wero stopped beforo tho long
platforms, which wero covered with purplo
cloth. On a long platform, facing that at
which tho queen's train was to arrive,
guards and grenadiers wero drawn up. Tho
broad roadway separating tho two was
swept clean and sanded and a number of
llttlo purple-covered platforms, from which
members of tho royal party wero expected
to mount their horses, were placed at In
tervals at the side and center.
At 10 o'clock an army of grooms with the
horses arrived and thenceforward distin
guished Ilrltlsh naval and military officers
und foreign royalties, In dazzling uniforms,
camo in quick succession. Tho lord cham
berlain nnd his ofllclals, bareheaded, with
their white wands of office, received tho
most distinguished personages nnd con
ducted them to a llttlo pavilion erected on
tho platform. Tho whole station by that
tlmo resembled tho scene at a levee.
Tho commander-in-chief of tho forces,
General Roberts, on a beautiful, spirited
brown mare, carrying his field marshal's
baton, nt this Juncture trotted Into tho sta
tion nnd became tho center of Interest, lie
was soon followed by tho earl marshal, the
duke of Norfolk and many of the most dis
tinguished officers Then came tho carriage
for tho queen and tho princesses. They
wero the state carriages used on tho occa
sion of tho queen's Jubilee, with beautiful,
gold-mounted harness and trappings. Tho
horses were ridden by postillions In scarlet
Jackets, with only n narrow band of crepe
on their arms as a mark of tho great
change. Tho carriages were closed.
Mil in t; Notcvtrtli' I'calurcN.
Tho procession, apart from the gun car
riage bearing tho collln and the royal family
nnd official mourners about It, was not noto
worthy. Parliament, the Judiciary and the
commercial bodies wero not represented.
Royalty, the army and navy monopolized tho
pageant. Threo thousand soldiers nnd sail
ors, picked companies, representing nit
branches of tho service cavalry, nrtlllery,
Infantry, yeomanry, militia, volunteers and
colonials formed tho advance escort. They
marched slowly and without music. Most
qf tho uniforms were covered with dark
overcoats and tho standards wero draped
with black, tho officers wearing bands of
crepo on their sleeves. Tho Infantry
marched In columns of four with rifles re
versed. They wero halt nn hour In passing.
Then camo Field Marshal Earl Roberta
and his staff, and after them four massed
bands playing funeral marches. Three nun
lrcd musicians announced tbo coming ot tho
body of the queen. Thero was a long array
of court olllctals, under tho leadership ot
the duke of Norfolk (the cnrl marshal), all
attired quaintly ami brilliantly, bearing
maces or wands, most of them elderly men
who for years had served tho roynl lady
for whom they wero performing tho last
olliccs.
Most of tho spectators expected an Im
posing catafalque, and tho collln was almost
past beforo they recognized its presence by
removing their hats. It was a pathetically
small olilong block concealed beneath n
rich pall of whlto satin, on tho corners of
which gleamed tho royal arms. Across the
pall tho royal standard was draped and a
largo crown of gold, encrusted with Jewels,
rested at tho head ot tho cotfln, which was
at tho end of tho gun carriage, Just ovor
tho gun.
Coin ii Ailornnirntn.
On tho foot of tho coflln were two smaller
crowns, with a gold-Jowolcd scepter lying
between them. Tho eight horses which
drew tho gun carriage wero almost con
cealed beneath their harnesses.
A large bow of purple wr.s attached to the
collln. This was the only symbol of mourn
ing. Around tho coflln walked tho stal
wart bearers, non-commissioned officers
from the guards and household cavalry, and
on either side wero tho queen's equerries
lords-ln-waltlng and physicians. All tho
uniforms wero covered with long, dark
cloaks.
Tho spectacle was bo quickly past that
tho spectators hardly realized It or had
tlmo to bare their heads or comprehend tho
details, when a group of magnificently at
tired horsemen, with sparkling helmets nnd
coats, mounted on beautiful chargers, was
beforo them.
Immediately after the company about tho
collln three roynl mourners rodo abreast,
King Edward VII was tho central llguro of
tho threo. but no less ostentatious person
ago was seen in tho procession, A black
chapeau, with a plumo of whlto feathers
was on his head and a long, black cloak was
buttoned around him nnd hung down over
tho big, black horso which ho was riding
Tho king's familiar faco seemed gravo am
caroworn. Ho looked straight ahead, ap
parently nt tho gun carriage on which was
the Dody of tho soverlgn whoso glory am
responsibilities ho had Inherited. Ho dh
not Bee, or gave no sign of seeing, tho long
ranks of soldiers hedging back the populace
about him, tho windows crowded with black
bonnettcd women, tho multitudes of uncov
ered hends, tho purplo draperies and tho
general wreaths everywhere. Ho passed
lino a man nlono, who neither knew o
thought of tho world about him, nnd the
Bentlment his presence Inspired was only
sympathy nnd pity. The people seemed to
seo In tho king one of themsolves nnd the
deep murmurs which nroso here and there
carried n noto of sorrow ami lovo almost as
dcop as tho expressions which greeted tho
passage of tho cotlln of their queen.
llcsldo King Edwnrd rodo Emperor Wll
llam, his nephew and ne ghbor. Tho iinlqtib,
commanding figure of the Gormau empero
could not for a moment be mistaken. Ho
looked every Inch a Boldler and tho com
mander of men. His imperial majesty
glanced right and left as he rodo, and hi
hand was frequently raised to the red ann
whlto feathers bunging over his hat, as ho
responded to salutes. Emperor Wllllan,
also woro a black cloak over his Ilrltlsh

WINDSOR. Feb. 2. Following the car
rlages and preceded by an officer, came an
object at which ovcry officer in tho mil
mated throng lnstlctlvely came to tho sa
luto nnd evory head was bared. It was tho
llttlo khakl-colored gun carriage which was
to carry Queen Victoria's remains from Vic
torla to Paddlngton station. Tho eight
Hnnoverlan cream-colored horses, which
also drew tho queen on the occasion of tho
juuuee, wero used today. The gold har
ncBS, Bcarlet-coated postilions 'and scarlot
and gold-coated grooms who held tho horses
by tho bridle wero all tho sarao, Only tho
llttlo gun carriage. Instead of the glittering
glass anu goiu coach, marked the change.
With tho exception that rubber tires were
on tho wheels, the gun carriage was as If
In actual use. Tbo place for tho collln to
rest was over tho gun, It was then nearly
11 o'clock when, amid cries of "The kins
ot Portugal's horse," tbo "Qrand duke of
Hesse's horse," ns tho princes mounted, the
train steamed Into tho station a minute
ahead of tlmo.
All heads wero uncovered as the saloon
carrlago bearing the queen's remains
stopped exactly opposite the gun carriage,
and King Edward, Queen Alexanders, Em
peror William and others alighted.
Thon tho bearer party advanced to the
saloon carrlago and, with his hand nt tho
salute and standing a little In advance ot
the others, King Edward watched the pain
fully slow removal of the coflln to tho gun
carriage. It was finally accomplished and
the pall and the regalia of tho Ilrltlsh
crown wero placed on the coffin.
The king and the others with hlra then
mounted and the procession started.
Hy noon many notables In full uniform
had arrived and the streets were Jammed.
The scarlet cloaks of the Life guards, tho
busbies ot the grenadiers and the Infantry
lined the streets picturesquely. The court-
yard of the cnstle was filled with privil
eged spectators. Exquisite wreaths were
placed outside tho chapel walls nnd almost
covered tho steps, up which the coffin was
brought. Inside, people in gorgeous uni
forms nud in deep black were taking up
their places, pages wearing the dress ot tho
Oeorgo III period with big lace ruffles,
broad red coats and white breeches and
tocklngs, flitted hern and there, and the
court attendants In black and gold were
moving about.
St. George's chapel was a magnificent
sight nnd divided attention with tho offi
cials and college of heralds, gorgeous In
quaint mantles, tabards and Insignia and
the medieval looking yeomen of the guard
nrrylng tho halberds at slope. Thero was
a slight drizzle during tho morning which
served to dlscourngo somewhat tho waiting
crowds, who hart taken their places In tho
stnnds, prepared for a long wait. Tho troops
nnd police poured In steadily, lining the
routo nnd guarding the station. Mild ex
citement wna aroused In tho crowd when
tho beef enters from the tower of London
arrived and entered tho castle. Tho offi
cers In gay court uniform and tho life
guards with their flowing plumes galloped
through tho streets.
Wo in an lHilre In Street.
One well dressed woman fell down In the
street and was picked up dead, the excite
ment having killed her beforo sho had tho
opportunity to t,ei tho pageant.
Tho great Beat windows of St. George's
chapel with their faint stained figures threw
a soft light over tho burial nnd worshiping
placo of kings. Beforo each oaken stall
glimmered the waxen taper that burns when
knights of the Garter worship thero. Above
their heads, resting upon tho carved sabers
of tho stalls, were tho special Insignia of
each knight, whllo hanging over this wero
tho motionless banners bearing tho strango
devices of tbo members of thn most power
ful order. On each' sldo of tho chancel
flamed two rows of candles. In somber
contrnst with theso two rows of light and
color sat tho long lino of princesses nnd
ladles in waiting, making a foreground of
deepest black. On the nltar two tapors
burned nnd within tho rail on each sldo
stood two large candelabra. On the chan
cel only a few lilies and the most dctlcato
green ferns were used for tho altar decora
tions. There was no crepo anywhere.
Lord Slllllliliry In Simple llreim.
Among the early arrivals wero ministers
nnd cx-mlnlsters In full stato uniform.
All tho members of the cnblnct took their
seatB In a row. Lord Salisbury following,
wearing a velvet skull cap and wrapped In
nn ordinary black overcoat. When this was
taken off It revealed n plain court uniform.
Tho ladles In waiting, veiled ns the prin
cesses were, took their seats on a long
bench below tho stalls.
Tho first member of tho diplomatic corps
to arrive was tho Turkish ambassador.
Long beforo tho stalls were filled tho nave
was packed. Lord Rosobcry camo In nbout
1:15. Tho members of tho diplomatic corps
occupied nearly two entlro rows of stalls
on tho right of tho chancel. The most
notable, by reason of his brilliant robo,
was tho Chlncso minister.
As tho tlmo for tho arrival of tho funeral
train approached tho vlclnl'r nf tbo station
was occupied by a brilliant gathering of
diplomats, privy councillors and military
and naval officers In uniforms of a various
order.
Lord Salisbury, with the ministers, Am
bassador Choatu, with tho ambassadors,
Lord Dufforln and other distinguished mon
by scores, Including his hlghnes, tho Thak
oro of Morvl, wore present.
A gun carriage, Blmilar to tho ono used
In London, was drawn up and at 2 o'clock
tho funoral train arrived. Immediately
after its arrival Queen Alexandra and tho
princesses drove off to the chapel in closed
carriages. As tho coffin lid was lifted
by grenadiers tho diplomats and officers
stood at tho salute.
DtntrciNlnu Incident Occurs.
Hardly had tho coflln reached tho gun
carriage when a dramatic Incident occurred.
The order had Just been given to start, tho
muffled drums rolled and, to tho strains of
Chopin's funeral march, tho head of tho
procession had nctually moved off when it
was found impossible to Induco the artillery
horses to movo. . They had grown cold from
long waiting In tho biting wind, but wero
restive nnd narrowly missed overturning
the gun carriage. Tho king looked terribly
distressed and tho marshal ot tho proces
sion wan nonplussed, when tho naval guard-
of honor of 130 bluo Jackets camo to the
rescue and romovod tho refractory horses,
improvised ropes out of tho traces and
started tho gun carrlago with i3 precious
burden towards tho chapel.
The coffin, with the same Insignia sur
mounting It as In London, was followed by
an escort of life guards, then officials of
heralds college, Lord Roberts, with the
headquarters staff and deputations from thu
Prussian regiments, etc. King Edward,
Emporor William and tho duke of Con
naught followed tho bier closely. After them
walked tho princesses, foreign representa
tives nnd yeomen of tho guard, with tho
military and court bringing up tho rear.
The Btart of the cortege was signalized
by minute salutes, fired by guns posted on
the long walk, which wero continued until
elghty-ono shots had been fired, one for
each completed year of tho dead queen's
age.
Without further Incident tho procession
passed beneath tho dead queen's favorite
rooms and on to St. George's chapel.
Tho chapel choir, tho archbishop, tho
bishops and other clergy met the procession
at the west door. From the organ loft,
midway of tho navo nnd the chancel, camo
tho strains of Mendelssohn's march from
"Songs Without Words," in E minor. Tho
strains of thn organ died away and the
choir commenced singing softly tho sen
tences for tho dead. The solemn cortege
proceeded up tho nave, which was thronged
with tho highest nnd nobles women of Eng
land. "Lord, Thou Hast Heen Our Refuge,"
to Felton's sotting, was next sung by tho
choir, which had now taken Its placo In tho
transept to tho right of tho nltar.
Tho coflln rested upon a catafalque placed
at the Bteps of tho altar. The cross over
the communion tabic was covered with
white flowers and tho reredos behind was
almost concealed with sprays of fern, dot
ted with lilies.
The bishop of Winchester read the les
son from Corinthians xv., "Man That
Is Horn of Woman" wbb chanted by tho
choir to Wesley's music, followed by "Thou
Knowest, Lord, tho Secrets of Our Hearts."
The dean ot Windsor read. "I Heard a
Voice," and tho choir sang tho Lord's
prayer to the music composed especially
for the dead queen by Gounod. Once more
tho strains of the choir welled up with tho
singing of "How Dlessed Aro They That
Die," by Tchalkowsky, The archbishop of
Canterbury read the collect aud with quav
ering voice pronounced the benediction.
There was a solemn pauso while alt heads
bowed. A few sobs wero heard nnd the
choir then broke the oppressive stillness
with tho sweet hnrmouy of the "Dresden
Amen."
Ilentl Mniinrc'h'n Title I'rnrliilmrd.
Then the loud tones of Norroy Klng-at-Arms
William Henry Wcldon. proclaimed
tho dead monarch's title. Tho Spohr an
them, "Illesscd Arc tho Departed," followed
nnd tho servlco was concluded by tho play
ing of licetbovon's funoral march, by Sir
Walter I'arrot, organist of St. George's
chapel and private organist to tho late
queen.
At 2:15 o'clock Sir Walter Parrott at the
organ commenced playing Mendelssohn's
march In E minor from the "Songs With
out Words." Tho castle clock struck tho
half hour nnd tho organ ceased.
Quietly, with no heraldry, tho arch
bishop of Canterbury, the bishop of Win
chester and tho dean of Windsor walked
from the vestry down to the chancel. Th
nobles roso to their feet and remained
standing, llehlnd the bishops camo tho
choir. The sound of tho guns was heard
and silence fell on tho assemblage. Ten
minutes passed and Sir Walter I'arrott
played softly. Tho white-haired statesmen.
ono by one, dropped Into their sentB. Tho
strain was too much and the diplomats
followed suit.
Tho music of tho bauds playing could bo
heard, first faintly nnd then nearer nnd
nearer until tho mnjestlc roll of tho funoral
march penetrated every corner of tho
chapel. For fifteen minutes tho congre
gation listened to military bands outsldo,
"I Am the Hemirrcotloii."
At 3.20 p. m. tho doors swung open. "I
Am tho Resurrection" was Bung by the
choir. Slowly tho white-robed boys made
their way tip tho aisle. After tho arch.
bishop of Canterbury came tho whlto robes,
then tho coflln and then the equerries,
carrying tho pall and the regnlla. Grcna.
dlcrs carried the coflln. Walking together
camo tho king, Emperor William nd the
luke of Connnught. Reside them were th
king of the llelglans, the king of Greece
nnd tho king ot l'ortugal and after them
camo tho royal princes, who filled tho
chancel nnd aisles and whose sulto moved
Into the nnvc.
Mr. Choate, In evening dress, entered
with tho procession nnd sat nt tho corner
near tho master of ceremonies. The choir
having passed to tho right of tho nltar
and tho queen nnd princesses having passed
In tho queen's gallery overlooking tho al
tar, tho sorvlces proceeded.
Tho archbishop stood at the altar Btens.
directly beforo tho coflln. On his left was
tho bishop of Wlnchestor, clad In scarlet
robes, who read tho regular servlco for th.
dead.
Tho duko of Cambrldgo had to be hclncd

through tho formula, ending up with "God
Savo the King," delivered so forcefully and
dramatically that his hearers started, sunk
into a realization of tho chance ot recline
which had so suddenly come about.
At 4 o'clock scrvlco was over. Tho nrch-
bishop of Canterbury bowed his head on tho
nltar nnd prayed and tho kings and princes
passed to tho left of tho altar, leaving tho
collln nnd passing Into the cnstle.
Doth glittering with gold lace, there fol

Ton minutes nfter tho coflln nppoared tho
funoral precession had passed nnd tho music
of tho dirges drifted back across St. James
park. After tho funeral party itaolf, tho
dominating llguro of tho day was Field
Marshal Earl Roberts. When his well
known bronzed faco came Into view tho pco
pie forgot the solemness of tho occasion
and broke Into cheers, also shouting "Bobs"

Thero wero assembled there, clad In glit

and representatives of every civilized coun

tho highest ofllcers of the crown. All were
engaged In tho work preparatory to tin.

spicuous becauso of absence of adornment,
dressed In plain black, was tho American
ambassador. After tho departuro of the
ambassadors i small company was admitted
to tho station and hurried across to the op
posite platform, whero thu royal train was
In waiting. It was precisely 12:20 p. m.
when tho guards lining tho platform camo
to a sharp ' uttentlon" and with a solemi.
tread the head of the procession entered
tho building. For half un hour all was
hushed, save tho occasloual clamor of
horses' hoofs as tho hussars and lancers
trotted Into view or the rattle of tho heavy
gun carriages as they lumbered by. Then
thoro was a break In the procession and
through tho archway camo the royal bier,
followed by tho mounted representatives ot
royalty. A ncoro or moro of attendants
followed. The king nnd German emperor
alighted. There was a man at every horse'
head and a hand at every carriage door

ment of tho receipt of the samplo bottlo of Swnmp-Root you so kindly sent tne. I

our best physicians prescribe for me. They would rolleve mo for the tlmo being, but
the old complaint would In a short tlmo return again. 1 sent for n sample bottle of
Swamp-Root, and I found It did me a world of good. Slnco then I have taken eight
small bottles bought nt my drug store, and I consider myself permanently cured. It
seemed as though my back would break In two after stooping. I do not have to get up
during the night to urinate, as I formerly did three or four times a night, but now
sleep the sleep of peace. My back Is all right again, and In every way I am a new
man. Two of my brother officers aro still using Swamp-Root. They, like myself,
cannot say too much In praiso of it. It Is n boon to mankind. We recommend It to
all humanity who are suffering from nny kidney, liver or bladder troubles.
My brother officers twhose signatures accompany this letter), ns well as myself,

The best factories are represented in this
