Buffalo, Sept lf?. ? Buffalo today
became a city of mourning.
The irav and flxming decorations
of the Pan-American Exposition
gave way to the avnabol of sorrow.
The hlack drapery of the
city's streets muffled the tolling
belle of the churches Bite of
crepe appeared ?>n every sleev*.
The sorrow was everywhere apparent.
In the enornino a simple
service toek place at the residence
en Delaware avenue, where I be
martyred President died. A hymn
wsa mini; end a prayer wawelTered
over the deed hotly. That was

end frieads and political assistant*
of the late President were present.
The scene there was pathetic in
.the extreme. Then the body was
borne out to the waiting cortege
on the brawny shoulders of eight
sailors and soldiers of the republic.
The cortege passed through the
walls of living humanity, hareheaded
and grief-stricken, to the
city hall, where the body lay in
state this afternoon There a re.
raark-ible demonstration occurred
which proved how elo?e the President
was to the hearts of tbe people.
Arrangements had been
wade to allow the public to view
the body fioai the timo it arrived,
at about 10;30 e'cleck, until about
5 o'cleck, but the people were
wedded into the streets for blocka.
Two linen were formed. They
extend literally for milea. When
5 o'cleck came 40,000 people had
already passed and the crowds
waiting below in the street* seemed
undiminished. It was decided to
extend the time until midnight.
Then for four hours longer the
streets were dense with peeple and
a censtant stream flowed up the
steps of the broad entrance into
hall and passad the bier. When
the doors were closed at midnight
it was estimated that 80,000 peo
pie had viewed the remains, hut
theusunds of disappointed ones
were still in the streets. The
body will lie in the city hall until
morning. It will he taken to the
