At tho foot of the coffin stood the bronze figuro of a woman, "Illinois Welcoming the World." On this was placed the great wreath of orchids presented pre-sented by the members of the Lincoln memorial commission. On tho bier was President Wilson '5 memorial wreath. Other offerings wore from Eobert T.

Two Notable Figures. There wore at least two f iures of interest in-terest in the lines, which walked slowly through the capitol today, Josiah Beard and Colono John A. Pattce. Pattce, a Gettysburg veteran, followed Lincoln to Oakridge cemotor- forty-nine years ago, as one of the great military escort under General Joseph Hookor. Tomorrow Tomor-row ho will be in tho Culloni train. Beard is S7 years old, two years older than tho late senator at the time of his death. "I think I was tho first man hero to be introduced to Mr. Culloni when be came here with a letter of introduction to Lincobi in 1853," said Beard. "It was state fair week, and ho and a friend of mine named Whitmorc had just arrived after being delayed up tho line by a train wreck." Of 'Culloni 's intimate associates of enrly davs in this city four only survive. sur-vive. Thov are Dr. William Jayno, John W. Bunne, Dr. George W. Pass-field Pass-field and William Eidgoley. Excepting Ridgelev, all wore confined to their homes by tho storm today, and it is doubtful if they will be able to attend at-tend the funeral tomorrow. Gloom in Statehouse. Despite tho nation-wide tribute to Mr. Culloni, tho scene in tho Btate-houso Btate-houso was ono of the greatest gloom and loneliness after the doors woro closed to tho public tonight. The dark corridors were dimly lighted and only a few militiamen, relieving each other at intervals, moved in the dcop shadow of the coffin and the deep symbolic figure over it. The doors were seldom opened, for this admitted rafts which swept the corridors and intensified the aspect of wintry isolation of the distinguished dead and those who watched. Funeral services will be hold tomorrow afternoon after-noon at 2:30 o'clock in tho hall of representatives, rep-resentatives, where Adjutant General Dickeon, by removing tho desks and bringing in 1500 chairs from tho state armory, has provided scats for 2200. Admittance will be by ticket. Tho Rev. Duncan MacLeod, formerly Mr. fullom's pastor at Washington, will deliver de-liver tho sermon, and eulogies will bo pronounced 03 Governor Dunne, Sena- tor Lawrence Y. Sherman and Clinton C. G'oukling, a pioneer lawyor of this citv. Owing to the snow, which is very docp on the road leading to tho cemo-tery, cemo-tery, difficulty in obtaining the number num-ber of carriaguK riocdod is feared, Two hundred have been pledged, but moro will be needed, unless tho weather forbids for-bids the presence of many who otherwise other-wise would visit 1 ho cemetery. Ti.c procession will move through tho viy into Pourth street, which runs to 1 ,li burial grounds, and along which an I old copy of the Lincoln funeral programme pro-gramme says I hat procession moved, The coffin will be lowered into a grave near tho Lincoln monument and near the tomb of the lalo Governor Tanner. Senator Cul loin's fivo children chil-dren and his two wives preceded him in death, and tho last spaco in the burial lot will be occupied with tho lowering of his own body into it. |
