OUH WASHINGTON Wasnin Once half-mas', ar ore the fl have again mourning dress. T ce President 2 over the Hendy ast a gloo citv which pervades every hold. The news as received about six o'clock in evening } rapidly spread, but es ervbody was incredu- lous until the n boys were heard crying the extras, The president was at dinner when he received the news hy telegram, and at once or- | dered Co!. Lamont to dispatcn a messenger to the members of his cabinet to attend a special meeting of cabinet at half past eight | o’clock. Postmaster General Vilas and Secretary Lamar were the first to arrive and the others followed in! quick succession to get the full par— ticulars without waiting for the set hour of meeting to arrive. At the meeting it was determined that the president and his cabinet should at- tend the tuneral in a body as a mark ot the high sespect in which the Vice Subsequently, the President was held: pressure was brought to bear on the president to induce him to change his purpose of attending the tuneral in person. It was urged that in view of the present state of affairs with no vice-pre-ident, no president of senate pro tempore, and the certainty of a republican when one is chosen—the president should not expose himselt to the additional dangers of a rail- road journey on a special train run- ning at increased speed with the pos- sibihty of the conductor ot some reg: | ular train not obeying orders and a collision as the result. In all the churches holding Thanks- giving Day services the death ot the vice president was referred to in teeling terms and universal sympa- thy for his family was expressed. Thanksgivivg Day was duly ob- served here. At no time betore was it so universally observed. All plac- es of business were closed and the people thronged to the churches so that thev were filled to overflowiag, to offer up thanks for the many blessings they have enjoyed during the Seas from, 1568 to 818603 the past year, Perhaps the sudden demise ot the Vice President was a sharp reminder of the uncertainty of | piiman and Bayard, are both liv- life and the certainty of death, and caused the people to halt in their wild race atter riches and tor one day pay homage to the Giver of all good Apni, 1865, and died at her old things.
