Washington, Feb. 5.—John Marshall
of Virginia was installed a chief jus-
tice of the United States one hundred
years ago Monday, and at 10 o’clock
that morning the centennial anniver-
sary of that occasion was celebrated
with impressive ceremonies in the hall
of the house of representatives at the
capitol.
The progromme arranged by the
joint committee of congress and Wil-
liam Wirt Howe of New Orleans, pres-
ident of the American Bar asosciation,
was simple and dignified, as became
the life of the great jurist. The presi-
dent and his cabinet, the members of
the supreme court, the members of the
senate and house, the diplomatic corps
and members of the bar association at-
tended as invited guests. Many other
distinguished persons were in the gal-
leries, which were reserved for those
holding cards of admis-on.
the various official bodies entered the
all together, they were not announced
as on formal occasions. President
McKinley and the members of the cab-
inet were the last to arrive. The en-
tire assemblage rose and remained
standing until they had seated them-
selves.
Representative Dalzel lof Pennsylva-
nia called the assemblage to order. He
stated briefly the action of congress
in providing for the ceremonies and
the selection of Chief Justice Fuller
as presiding officer. The chief justice,
in his official robes, was escorted to
the chair by Representatives Gros-
venor of Ohio and Richardson of Ten-
nessee. Rev. Dr. William Strother
Jones of Trenton, N. J., a great
grandson of John Marshall, invoked
the divine blessing.
The chief justice of the supreme
court, Mr. Fuller, then addressed the
assemblage.
Chief Justice Fuller’s address was
devoted almost entirely to the con-
sideration of his predecessor’s career
as an expounder of the federal con-
stitution.
At the conclusion of Justice Ful-
ler’s speech Mr. MacVeagh delivered
an oration, saying in part:
“Today is dedicated to the law. I
therefore speak to you as a lawyer,
and I congratulate you that it is part
of our happy fortune that the occasion
which brings us together offers in it-
self its amplest and completest justi-
fication. It would indeed have been a
grave dereliction of duty if the broth-
erhood of American lawyers, on the
bench and at the bar, had not assem-
bled to honor with fitting observances
the centennial anniversary of the en-
trance of John Marshall into the office
of chief justice of the supreme court
of the United States.
He closed as follows:
“In cherishing these aspirations and
in striving to realize them, we., a^e
wholly in the -^yjfit of the great chief
justice, and we can in no other way
so effectually honor hs memory as by
laboring in season and out of season,
to make this whole continent of
America ‘one splendid monument, not
of oppression and terror, but of wis-
dom, of peace and of liberty on which
men may gaze with admiration for-
ever.’ ”
Mr. MacVeagh spoke for an hour
and three-quarters. His peroration pro-
voked an outburst of applause which
was led by the president, his cabinet
and the members of the supreme court.
The exercises, closed with a bene-
diction by Rev. Couden, the chaplain
of the houes. In one of the galleries
was F. Lewis Marshall of Orange
Courthouse, Va., the oldest descendant
of Chief Justice Marshall.
Windsor, Feb. 5.—The last honors
have been paid to Queen Victoria. Her
body now rests peacefully near that of
her husband in the mausoleum at Frog-
more. The final ceremonies were more
of a pathetic character than any of
the obsequies which have preceded
them.
Shortly before 3 o’clock Monday, in
the presencrof the royal mourners the
Grenadier Guard of honor lifted the
coffin from its temporary resting place
in the Albert memorial chapel and
placed it on a gun carriage. In the
meanwhile the queen’s company of
Grenadiers, drawn up in a quadrangle,
presented arms and wheeled into line,
their lines at reverse, and with slow
measured stride, marched toward the
castle gate. At the head of the pro-
cession was a band playing Chopin’s
funeral march. On the gun carriage
was the same regalia which had at-
racted the eyes of millions since the
march to theg rave began at Osborne.
Close behind walked King Edward,
Emperor William, the Duke of Con-
naught, wearing dark military over-
coats and plumed cocked hats and
looking pale and careworn. In similar
dull attire were the kings of Portugal
and Belgium. All heads were bent.
The blue and gray of the German
Princes redeemed the royal group
from perfect somberness of color. Be-
hind these walked Queen Alexandria
and the royal princesses deeply veiled.
As the last of these veiled women
passd out from the castle there came
two boys dressed in bright tarletan
kilts and velvet jackets. Between
them was a young girl, her fair, loose
hair glittering against the crape of hei
mourning veil. Two of these were ch.il-
mourning veil. Two of these were
children of Princess Henry of Batten-
berg, and the other was little Prince
Edward of York. His tiny legs could
hardly keep pace even with the slow
progress of the mourning hand.
The rear of the procession was
brought up by the suites of the king
and princess, their vari-colored over-
coats forming a striking patch of col-
or. Down the long walk with the
band still playing Chopin’s dirge, this
quiet throng slowly made its way to
the mausoleum. The horses attached
to the gun carriage were inclined to
be restive, but, as an extra preaution,
a drag of ropes was attached to the
wheels and held by sturdy artillery-
men.
At the lodge gates the strain of the
band died away and the pipers com-
menced their lament.
There, between the broad avenue of
stately trees the crowd was the thick-
est, forming dense black bands.
By 3:30 p. m. the crowd, barehead-
ed, passed into the outer lodge, which
leads to he Frogmore inclosure, where
none hut the family and servants were
admitted. The choir met them and
the royal famiy and their relatives en-
tered the burial place so dear to the
late queen, ranging themselves on
each side of the coffin. The bishop of
Winchester read the last part of the
burial service. After further singing
by the choir the bnediction was given
and, amid the privacy of this family
tomb, the last farewells were said, the
funeral came to an end, the mourners
urove to the castle and the crowds dis-
persed.

Chicago, 111., Feb. 5.—In Chicago,
where the idea of celebrating the as-
sumption office by the first chief jus-
tice-of the supreme court of the Unit-
ed States was conceived and promul-
gated, all legal machinery was silent
Monday, while bench and school, so-
ciety and others of the laity paid ho-
mage to the memory of John Marshall.
The federal courts as well as the
civil and criminal courts of Cook
county were closed.
Trains Released
Topeka, Kan., Feb. 5. —Snowbound
trains were released, and although
schedules have not been restored en-
tirely, no more delay is expected. Mis-
souri, Pacific trains stalled on the
Central branch were released with the
aid of snow plows or forced their way
through the banks of snow with
double-headers. In central Kansas a
Saloons Destroyed.
Pittsburg, Kan., Feb. 5.—A num-
ber of women, wives of prominent citi-
zens, attacked the two saloons running
at McCune, a small town fifteen miles
west of here, and destroyed the furni-
ture and fixtures at bow places and a
large quantity of liquor. The dam-
ages amounts to about $500.
The women held a short prayer ser-
vice first, and then, after arming
1 themselves with hatchets and ball
bats, began their work.
London, Feb. 4.—The firing of min-
ute guns and the tolling of hells at
11:15 a. m. Saturday announced to the
countless multitudes who had been
crowding London’s muddy streets since
daylight that the funeral procession
with the body of Queen Victoria had
begun its passage through the capital.
The people fought for hours for a
glimpse of the coffin and the kings and
others following it. They saw a long
procession of soldiers, a passing show
of dazzling regalia with a hundred roy-
alties crowding after, and then dis-
perserd, while all the church chimes
of the city were ringing muffled dirges.
Europe has seen .grander royal fu-
neral’s than the queen’s and had a
more gorgeous spectacle in the cele-
bration of her sixty years of reign, but
*o episode in the Victorian era will
live so deeply impressed on the mem-
ory of those who witnessed it or par-
ticipated in the ceremonies.
The day was somber, wet and chilly,
as are most of London’s winter days.
The cloudy sky added to the gloom of
the whole city.
The procession, apart from the gun
carriage bearing the coffin and the roy-
al family and official mourners about
it, was not noteworthy. Parliament,
the judiciry and the commercial bodies,
were not represented. Royalty, the
army and navy, monopolized the pa-
geant. Three thousand soldiers and
sailors, picked companies representing
all branches of the service—cavalry,
artillery, yeomanry, militia volunteers
and colonials—formed the advance es-
cort. They marched slowly and with-
out music. Most of the uniforms were
covered with dark overcoats and the
standards were draped with black, the
officers wearing bands of crape on their
sleeves. The infantry mached in col-
umns of four, with rifles reversed.
They were half an hour in passing.
Then came Field Marshal Earl Rob-
erts and his staff, and after them four
massed bands playing funeral marches.
Three hundred musicians announced
the coming of the body of the queen.
There was a long array of court offi-
cials.
Most of the spectators expected an
imposing catafalque, and the coffin was
almost past before they recognised its
presence by removing their hats. There
was a pathetically small oblong block
concealed beneath a’ rich pall of white
satin on corners of which gleamed the
royal arms. Across the pall the royal
standard was draped, and a large
crown of gold encrusted with jewels
rested at the head of the gun carriage,
just over the gun.
At the foot of the coffin there were
two smaller crowns with a jeweled
scepter lying between diem. The eight
horses which drew the gun carriage
were almost,^concealed beneath their
rich" harnesses. A coffin bow of purple
was attached to the coffin. This was
the only symbol of mourning.
Immediately after the company
about the coffin, three royal mourners
rode abreast. King Edward VII. was
the central figure of the three. The
king’s familiar face semed grave and
careworn.
The people seemed to see in the king
one of themselves, and the deep mur-
murs which arose here and there car-
a note of sorrow and love almost as
deep as the expressions which greeted
the passage of the coffin of their
queen.
Beside King Edward rode Emperor
William, his nephew and neighbor. The
unique commanding figunre of the
German emperor could not for a mo-
ment he mistaken.
On the king’s left rode his brother,
the Duke of Connaught, a man of solid
ried not of sorrow and love almost as
ognized by the populace.
In the second rank, behind rode two
more sovereigns, the kings of Portugal
and Greece.
Windsor, Feb. 4.—By noon many no-
tabilities, in full uniform, had arrived
and the streets were jammed. The
scarlet cloaks of the life guards, the
busbies of the Grenadiers and the hel-
mets of the infantry lined the streets
picturesguely. Sand was scattered
along the route to prevent the possi-
bility of slipping.
The court /*rd of the castle was
filled with spectators. Exquisite
wreaths were placed outside the chapel
walls and almost covered the steps up
which the coffin was brought inside
people in gorgeous uniforms and in
deep black were taking up their
places Pages wearing the dress of the
George III. period, with big lace ruf-
fles, bright-red coats and white breech-
es and stockings, flitted her and there
es and stockings, fitted her and there
and the court attendants in black and
gold were moving about.
St. George chapel was a magnificent
sight and divided attention with the
officials of the College of Heralds, gor-
geous in quaint mantles, tabards and
insignias, and the medieval-looking
men of the guard, carrying the hal-
berds.
There was a slight drizzle in the
morning, which served to discourage
somewhat the waiting crowds who had
taken their places in sthe stands, pre-
pared for a. long wait. Squads of po-
licemen poured in steadily, lining and
guarding the stations. Considerable
-excitement was aroused in the crowd
when the beef-eaters from the Tower
of London arrived. The officers, fn
gay court uniform, and the life guards,
with their flowing plumes, galloped
through the streets. One well dressed
woman fell down in the street and was
picked up dead, the excitement hav-
ing killed her before she had an op-
portunity to see the pageant.
The archbishop, of Canterbury, the
bishops and other clergy met the pro-
cession at the west door. From the
organ loft, midway of the nave and
the chancel, came the strains of Men-
delsohn’s march from “Songs With-
out Words.” The strains of the organ
died away and the choir commenced
singing softly the sentences for the
dead. The solemn cortege proceeded
up the nave, which was thronged with
the highest and noblest women of Eng-
land. “Lord, Thou Hast Been My
Refuge” was next sung by the choir,
which had now taken its place in the
transept to the right of the altar.
The coffin rested upon a catafalque
placed at the steps of the altar.
The bishop of Windsor read the les-
son from the fifteenth chapter of First
Corinthians. “Man That Is Born of
Woman” was chanted, by the choir to
Wesley’s musfc, followed by “Thou
Knowest, Q Lord, the Secret of our
Heart!” The dean of Windsor read
“I heard a Voice,” and the choir sang
the Lord’s Prayer to the music com-
posed especially for the dead queen by
Gounod.
Once more the strains of the choir
welled up through the ancient chapel
with the singing of “How Blessed Are
They That Die,” by Tchakowsky. The
Archbishop of Canterbury read the col-
lect, and with quavering voice pro-
nounced the benediction. ^There was a
solemn peause rshlie all heads bowed.
A few sobs wer heard and the choir J
then brok« the oppressive stillness
with the sweet harmony of the Dres-
den “Amen.” Then the loud tones of
Norroy King of Arms, William Henry
Wryon proclaimed, the dead queen’s
title. The choir’s anthem, “Blessed
Are The Departed,” followed, and the
service was concluded by the playing
of Bethooven’s funeral march by Sir
Walter Parrott, organist of St George’s
chapel and private organist to the late
queen.
