C, May 10. All Durham paused today io pay honor to the mem ory of Washington Duke. All business activity ceased and during the time that the funeral was on thousands upon thou sands of people gathered at Main Street Methodist church and in that vicinity and at Maplewood cemetery to pay a last respect to the memory of the de ceased. Never before in the history of Durham lias t lie re been such an outpour ing of the citizenship to pay honor to the memory of man. A conservative estimate is that fif' teen thousand people were at the ceme tery and along the line followed by the procession.' The cemetery and that vi cinity was a block of humanity, thous ands not being able to get within the hearing of the voices of the speakers. 1 The procession was of such length that almost a half hour was required for it to pass a given point. All vehicles of a public nature and most of the pri vate conveyances in the city were called into use and in addition to these quite a number of carriages came up from Raleigh last night and assisted in handl ing the large crowd. All street cars on the traction line gathered in front of the church to carry the throng to the ceme tery.: ; . : ; -': '.',' The request of the mayor and board of aldermen that business houses close during the funeral was carried out to the letter. There was not a business house in the city too large or too small to. heed the request. All factories and large manufacturing plants, with the bands and similar institutions closed for the entile day. ' The floral offering sent In memory of Mr. Duke was probably the largest in the history of any funeral in Ute state. To go into details as to the num ber and character of the beautiful and and elaborate designs sent would be to fill columns of space. The most beau tiful and costly design ever seen . m flowers here was that sent by the three sons of the deceased. This was made in New York and reached here this morning with the party that came on the' special car. lai tne nouie tne iiouers nneu iwo rooms and were moved from there to the cemetery in two horse' wagons, "these , be- n" draited in black. Five wagons were required to move the flowers, the wag ons being piled full of flowers. The de signs came from all parts of the coun try. A great many were sent by Dur- uiin people, There were other from al most every city in this state and from many ot the larger nortnern ciues. uicn- niond sent a half car load of designs and the florist who prepared the designs came' with the car and saw that the Main Street -church '.was. packed as long as there was loom to stand. Many thousand could not enter the church, Seats were reserved for members of the family arid out-of-town guests who came here to attend the funeral. The service was not very long, but was impressive and touching. Dr. E. A.' Yates, who is a member of the Trinity faculty, led in nraver and Rev. T. A. Smoot, pastor of the church, read oue of the lessons and assisted otherwise in the service. Dr. J. C Ki'go delivered the eulogy in -m t tr ' 1 memory ot Mf. tUKe. ne spoKe ior alout thirty minutes and it was one of the most beautiful tributes that could be paid to any man. He referred to the life of the deceased and then to tne great work he had done. At the cemetery Rev. W. h. Cunnmg- gim. formerly pastor of. Main Street church but now of Goldsboro, read the burial service. Put few of those who gathered to attend the funeral could get within hearing distance oi me voices. flowers were delivered in 'proper 'shape. Forty or fifty designs came from the. creat New York florists. It is said uy people who are familiar with the cost of flowers such as the kind sent in memory of Mr. Duke that there was a small sized fortune represented in these alone.

It will be interesting to the Confed erate soldiers and widows to know the changes made in the pension law by the last Legislature, which increased the annual appropriation from $200,000 to $275,000. The classes and amounts to each are now as follows: 1. To Buch as have received a wound that renders them totally incompetent to perform manual labor in the ordinary vocations of life, $60. , 2. To such as have lost a leg above the knee or an arm above the elbow, $45. Z. To such as have lost a foot or a leg below the knee, or a hand or arm below the elbow, or have a leg Or arm utterly useless, $,'55. - 4. To such as have lost an eye, and the widows and all other soldiers who are " now " three-fourths - disabled from any cause, $20. Moreover, the county boards of pen sions are empowered to place upon the pension rell any Confederate veteran or widow disqualified by the $500 property clause, who may appear to be unable to earn a living from property valued at as much as $500. This clause allowing the board discretionary powers will be of much benefit to many old soldiers and widows who have been hitherto de barred from receiving pensions because they were disqualified by the property clause.
