William Booth, took place at the Olympia last night. In accordance with traditions of the or ganization they were without pomp or symbols of mourning, but wore carried out with moving fervor and impressiveness. Thirty-four thousand persons par ticipated in tho functions. Nearly half of them wore the coats and red jerseys or bonnets with the red rib bon so familiar on the streets of the cities of the world whore the army ls established. Tho body of the late general, in a plain, pine coffin, rested high upon a white catafalque in front of the big platform across the end of the hall, where all the chief officers of the organization were seated, and hero forty bands of music were j massed. ^ho crimson flag of the army "of fire and blood,' which the general unfurled on Mount Calvary, was planted above the colnn. A bank of flowers, composed of the tributes given by members of royalty and many societies, were behind it. Flags of .Many Nations. Flags of various nations in which the commander had waged cam paigns and the standards of the older divisions of the army were ar rayed in front of the platform. These and mon* Salvation Army ! Hags in the galleries, each tipped with white ribbons, and twenty por traits of the evangelist surmounted with green laurel wreaths and with a broad orange ribbon connecting them, were the only decorative ef fects. Tito most solemn moments of the . long meeting were when the colfln was borne along the center of the j hall to the sonorous music of the dead march in "Saul." A small procession representing many of the army's activities, carry- J lng the flags of their respective ' countries, preceded lt. Immediately I before the body a brigadier bore aloft the crimson flag which the gen- 1 eral raised at Jerusalem, and under which he died at Hadley Wood, and following him marched ofllcers from foreign countries.

When the bands began with the hymn, "Thc Better World," the ocean of voices took up the strain and sang three stanzas of it. Then every head was bowed in silent prayer. The bands broke into a dead march at the conclusion of the prayer, and the thousands rose and turned toward tho far entrance, where appeared a cluster of white IIPlied (lags. Amid reverent silence the white catafalque was wheeled along the aisle to a position in fro of the platform, where its escort broke to the right and left and mounted the steps. Bramwell Booth, Immedi ately after he had reached his chair, fell to his knees and hurled his face in his hands. The assembly then sang "Dear Saviour, I can ne'er re pay the debt of love 1 owe." Sinners Culled to "Mercy Scat." Silent reading, alternating with hymns, continued for half an hour, after which a true Salvation Army revival service was conducted, and, on invitation to sinners and back sliders to come to "the mercy seat," dozens of persons forced their way through the crowded aisle to the mercy seats on either side of the platform, where they knelt in prayer. In sonni cases the police were required to force a wu v to th?' penitents. As t he penitents went forward (be singing, shouts of en couragement and amens increased in volume iiiiti! the Olympia was turn-, ed Into a colossal old-fashioned re vival. Striding back and forth on lin platform f?en. Bramwell Booth, swinging bis amis above his head, led the singing, pausing frequently to remind sinners that the dead leader bad given his life to saving them. The revival service was con cluded with Hie singing of "His blood can make Hie vilest clean; His blood avails for me." Faithful Soldiers of Hie Lord. Then caine the most Impressive feature of the solemnities. All of the soldiers of the army rose and recited tho covenant of fidelity, pledging themselves to bc faithful soldiers of the Lord. The catafalque then was wheeled slowly down the aisle while the great gathering sang "When the Roll is Called Up Yonder, 1 11 Be There." Body Laid by that of Wife. Tho body of Gen.
