The body of the late President is being embalmed, after which the In final homage to the popular white public will be allowed to file past

bearded "Grand Old Man."

A state funeral service will be held in Notre Dame Cathedral and he will be buried on May 12 in the Pantheon, where no Frenchman has boon burled immediately after death since President Carnot, who was also assassinated, in 1894,

State theatres and all Govern- ment offices will be closed during the funeral and all flags will be flown at half-mast and decked with crepe. All civil, and military of ficials will wear mourning on duty

this month.

The lying-in-state will take place on Monday afternoon in the Salle des Fetes, in the Champs Elysee, which has been transformed foto a chapelle ardente-Router.

Paris Numbed by the Tragedy.

All the theatres are closed to-day. M. Tardieu issued a message to the French people saying, "The whole of Franco has been struck with stupor and plunged into con- alernation. The Nation weeps for the illustrious old man whose life was devoted to her service, and whose four sons died in her defence, | She bown before the sorrowful | widow, who this morning closed the eyes of her husband, who also fell In action. Let us render to the Hend of the State by our calm and dignity the only homage he would have de- sired. In memory of a great ser- vant and execution of the law, France will know how to affirm her grief and unity."--Rcuter.
