Funeral on Saturday.
THE SCENE IN THE DEATH CHAMBER.
H [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.] £'' (Per Press Association.) London, January 24. The body of the late Queen reposes in the death chamber. The features of the corpse are wonderfully placid and . beautiful, looking younger than they did in life during recent years. The silvery hair is confined under a white lawn coif, and a fair white fabric on wraps the body. The hands are crossed on the breast, the left, showing the wedding ring, being uppermost. The head is slightly inclined to one side. Snowdrops and lilies from her late Majesty's own garden strew the bed, and a golden cross gleams in the shadow overhead. The members of the Royal household, the servants and tenants on the estate, were admitted to the room to-day. The remains will be transferred to-day to the dining room, which has been transformed into a chapel.
