CANT02C, O., Sept 17. Canton is ready
for the last homecoming .of William Mc
Kinley. In other days she has welcomed
him with cheers, with -waving banners
and triumphal inarches. Tomorrow she
will receive Mm in silence, with streets
hung with solemn black and with the
walling- notes of dirges. All day long
hundreds of anen and women have labored
in their task of arranging the decorations
on the jublc buildings, pn, the fronts of
commercial houses and over the windows
and porticos -of private residences. At
sunset tonight Canton was shrouded in
black, and -so she will remain until the
body of her beloved son has been com
mitted to the vault in Westlawn ceme-
At frequent intervals during the day
there have resounded from the pavements
the sound of marching feet as a military
or -blvlc organization .made Its way into
the city to be Jn rsJldinees for the duties
of tomorrow and of Thursday. They
are but the first wave of the human tide
-which Is to come. From early morning
until late in the evening there has been
a constant procession, of visitors moving
along North Market street to the Mc
3Kiniey home a house easily distinguished
from all others on the street, in that It
is the only one not draped in black. There
is today no sign of mourning on the
house, or will there be until the dead
President has been borne through its
doorwav Wednesday night. Throughout
the dav visitors" have stood in knots
under the trees that line the walks in
front, or hung o'er the Jow irpn fence,
talking low and in whispers, as if the
illustrious dead were already wlthn tls
walls.
As far as lies "within Its "power, the
local committees have completed their
arrangements for the funeral. Wednes
day's programme is arranged, and Thurs
dav's, too, if word would but come from
Washington givlrig approval of the plans
suggested. Tomorrow, upon its arrival at
11 A M.. the train "will be met by mem
bers of the Ioyal Liegion and executive
committees, by hundreds of the personal
friends of President McKinley and by
the following -gentlemen, who have been
selected from Washington to act as hon
orarv pallbearers during the services In
Canton: John C. Xueber, George B.
Frease, R. A. Cassidy, William R. Day.
Joseph Sierhle, Henry W. H. Atter, Will
iam M. Lynch and Thomas T. McCarthy
All !were 'intimate friends of the Presi
dent during his lifetime.
Troop A of Cleveland, will act as es
cort in the march from the Pennsylvania
station to the Courthouse, where tho bod
will lie in state. There will be no at
tempt at forming a column. The cavalry
will lead the way, the hearse, drawn by
fnur coal-black horses, will follow, and
then will come the carriages bearing the
members of the family and the distin
guished visitors. The casket will be
placed in the rotunda of- the Courthouse,
and as soon as possible the doors will be
opened to allow the citizens of Canton
the opportunity of paying their last trib
ute of reenect to the dead President.
Large detachments of militia and police
-nill be present to facilitate the handling
of the crowds, and as the time allowed
for the casket in the Courthouse Is con
sidered none too long, every effort will
be made to expedite matters- The crowd
will be formed in line four abreast at the
south door of the Courthouse, the line to
extend westward "on West Tuscarawas
street. Admission will be by ranks of
fnur. and the ranks will be made to move
rapidly. Until 9 o'clock at night the body
will remain in the Courthouse, and im
mediately after that hour it will be taken
to the family residence. Canton Post, G.
A. P., composed almost entirely of mem
bers of President McKinley' s old regi
ment, the Twenty-third Ohio, will escort
the body to the house.
Tbis is as far as the definite programme
of the Canton committee extends tonight
It is their wish that early on the morn
ing of Thursday the body will be returned
to the Courthouse and again lie in state
until it is time to leave for the First
Methodist Church, where the funeral
services are to begin . at 2 o'clock, but
whether the family will agree to this is
not known yet. The time allowed for th
entire exercises in the church is 45 min
utes. The programme is not entirely ar
ranged for the services, but they will
be simple a discourse by Rev. C E. Man
chester, of the First Methodist Church;
a prayer by Rev- C. H. Milligan, of tho
Presbyterian Church, and a Scripture
reading by some clergyman not yet se
lected; a quartet composed of Mrs. W. H.
Smith, Miss Rachel Frease. J, F. Mel
bourne and Ralph Brown will sing "Lead,
Kindly Light,' and a second quartet com
posed of Misses Hattle Levlnger, Fannie
Xievlnger, Jeanette Bayhof and Katherine
Baeh'erns -Rill also sing. The maslc to be
sung by this quartet has not been selected.
At the conclusion of the services in the
church the slow march to the cemetery
will be taken up:
The casket will be placed In the re
ceiving vault, but before it Is -taken in
side the casket will be rested upon sup
ports standing. upon the stone walk lead
ing to the vault. This will be for the
purpose of allowing those who have taken
part in the parade and who have been
prevented by their duties from being
present in the Courthouse to have an op
portunity of viewing the remains. If the
present programme is.carrled out, the cas
ket will remain on the walk outside the
vault ,i rum . one .to two hpurs. When
finally placed -inside the vault a guard
will be thrown around It, and day and
night until its-'flnal resting-place is pre
pared It "will be "surrounded by armed
men.
Because pf theiorowds; expected, Mayor
Robertson this afternoon Issued a procla
mation declaring that between the hours
of 10 A. M- and 9 P- M. Wednesday night
no traffic vehicles, automobiles or bicycles
shall be allowed, on those -streets which
are to be used by the funeral cortege.
The same proclamation orders that busi
ness houses .be closed ' Wednesday and
Thursday.
The local executive .committee held a
protracted meeting tonight and decided
that the hour for the commencement of
the funeral exercises at the First Metho
clst Church, Thursday, should be 1:30, in
stead of 2 o'clock, as previously arranged.
Troop A of Cleveland, after having es
corted the body of the President to the
Courthouse, will escort Mrs. McKinley to

ON THE PLAINS OF ABRAHAM
Canadian Troops Reviewed br the
Duke of Cornwall and York.
QUEBEC, Que., Sept. 17. The cere
monies of the last day's stay of the Duke
and Duchess of Cornwall in the ancient
capital of Canada included a review of
the troops mobilized for their reception,
a dinner on the royal yacht Ophlr and an
Illumination of the harbor and city. Rain
fell almost Incessantly during the day
and the crowds that gathered early in
the morning were speedily dispersed and
driven Indoors. The luncheon and gen
eral reception at Spencerwood, the offi
cial residence of the Lieutenant-Governor,
was canceled as a marl: of respect to' the
dead American President and further
plans for an expression of regret were
made, but unavoidably abandoned. ' The
Duke and Lord MInto, Governor-General
of Canada, decided to be personally rep
resented at Washington. The former des
ignated Commander Godfrey Fausette,
naval aide de camp, as his representative,
but it was discovered that it would be
Impossible for him to reach there before
the departure of the funeral train for
Canton, and the idea of sending any one
was regretfully given up".
A chilly wind swept across the Plains
of Abraham, but the review was bravely
finished.. The Duke refused all tenders
of shelter and rode lri view in his bril
liant uniform of honorary Colonel of the
Seventh Fusiliers. Despite the rain the
military exhibition was a bright one.
yive thousand fighting men, Including a
naval contingent of about 300, were
massed on the green-carpeted plains in
sight of the Wolfe monument. There were
long lines of scarlet tunics and platoon
after platoon of gay-colored kilts with
rows of blue and green, all touched with
white and yellow for contrast. A dozen
bands played the' airs to which the Brit
ish army marches and when the Duke ar
rived and the picture became a moving
one. It was at its best.
The Duchess was the first of the royal
party to apppar. She came in a barouche
drawn by four horses, with mounted pos
tilions, and escorted by the Queen's Own
Canadian Hussars in dark uniform corded
with yellow. As she drove up the line the
spectators cheered her enthusiastically,
and she smiled her acknowledgments. She
was.escorted to a roofed stage in the cen
ter of the field, and a few minutes later
the Duke entered "the parade grounds es
corted by his staff, and proceeded to in
spect the troops. The review followed,
and when it was over the Duke presented
medals to 113 Canadians who saw service
in the South African War. Some were in
the uniforms ot their regiments, others in
civilian -attire. The Duke personally com
plimented each , of the, soldiers as he
banded him his medal. )
The royal party returned to the citadel
at 1 o'clock, and, after resting' until 5
o'clock, went aboard the Ophir. They
were escorted to the wharf by a detach
ment of the Queen's Own Hussars, and to
night they gave a dinner aboard to a
distinguished party.- The harbor, and city
were brilliantly illuminated. The,' warships
were outlined in strings of lights, and
far up on the heights of the city the lines
of Incandescent lamps were -woven Into
attractive -designs. The names of Wolfe,
Montcalm, r Jacques-Car tier, Chainplaln
and other historic figures were spelled out
in letters of light. The royal party, ac
companied by Lord .Minto, Premier Ivtu.
ricr and a largo number of Dominion tiili
piafs. will Iea3:e at 0:35 o'clock tomorrow
for Montreal. ( The party rill stop "two
days at Montreal, and then will go to
Ottawa.
FUSION IN NEBRASKA.
Democrats Get the Henil of the
Ticket, Populists the Regents.
"XINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 18 Fusion be
tween the Democratic and Populist par
ties of ' Nebraska was effected by their
state conventions after sessions held in
separate halls beginning shortly before
3 o'clock In the afternoon of Tuesday and
continuing until 2 o'clock Wednesday
morning. The Democrats are given the
head of the ticket; Supreme Justice and
two Regents of the university go to the
Populists. The ticket is:
Justice of the Supreme Court Conrad
Hollenbeck, Dodge County.
Regents of the 'University J. H. Boy
ston. Frontier County; Fred G. Hawxby,
Nemaha County.
Both conventions were well attended,
but the Populist proceedings were apa
thetic compared with previous gatherings.
The Democrats, on the other hand, showed
more .of their old-time vigor. Absolute
faith in the leadership of W. J. Bryan
marked the speeches and resolutoins, and
the mention of his name was the sjgnal
for hearty applause. Hostility was de
clared to reorganization of the party on
any line of policy different from the pres
ent. In both conventions feeling reference to
the dead President was made by the chair
man. Third Party Conference.
KANSAS CITY, Sept. 17. Nearly 300
delegates arrived here today to attend
the "Allied Third Party" conference,
called by Jo A Parker, chairman of the
People's .Party National Committee, to
perfect aunion of all reform parties. The
delegates came from 13 states and repre
sent the public ownership party, Liberal
Socialists, MIddle-of-the-Road Populists,
Fusion Populists, Silver Republicans and
the Single Tax League. The largest dele
gation came from St. Louis and numbered
192 men, headed by Dr. J. E. Chambers.
The conference committees of the several
parties did- not meet in joint conference
today, the -entire time being taken up
by separate committee meetings, consid
ering the formulation of a platform and
the choosing of a -name for the new
oganization.- The joint conference will
meet tomorrow morning, when a clash
is not unlikely, as the Populists are not
disposed to surrender their name and
identity. In fact, the Populist delegates
assert that they have no authority to
take such a step and cannot do so with
out the consent of their constituents. The
joint conference will be called to order
by J. H. Cook, of Carthage, Mo., chair
man of the Fusion wing of the Populist
party.
Doctors DIkcuss the Autopsy.
NEW YORK, Sept. 17. Physicians in
this city are still much interested in the
report of the post mortem examination
made by the doctors who attended Presi
dent McKinley. Several experts upon
gun-shot wounds are quoted as to Presi
dent McKfnley's death in the Times. One
of these. Dr. Ro"bert H. M. Dawbarn,
thinks that Czolgoez shot the President
with a dirty revolver, and that the bullets
fired from such close quarters carried a
considerable .amount of filth Into the
missile's entire track. He further thinks
that ordinary microbes were In
troduced iutp ,the wound, and that
practically a .cultune cabinet for such
microbe was supplied by the injured tis
sues. The result, he. thinks, was the
poisoning, of -the. President's' flesh. He
doubts that the assassin intentionally
poisoned the bullets, aa has been sug-

WITH MILITARY POMP
REMAINS OF LATE PRESIDENT ES
CORTED TO THE CAPITOL.
All Branches of the Government Ser
vice Represented In the Proces
sionThe Civil Division.
WASHINGTON, jSept. .17 The morning
of the day set for the . state funeral of
the late President McKinley opened as
somber as the occasion.. The sky was
overcast, rain fell occasionally giving
way for momentary intervals to gleams of
dull sunshine,- and- a soft wind barely
stirred the-signs of mourning on building
fronts- '
The second, stage of the late President's
journey toward the waiting -grave at Can
ton was begun, just ai few minutes after
9 o'clock this morning. An hour earlier
the officers of the Government, civil, mili
tary and judicial, began to arrive, and
many others whose names are familiar the
world over came singly and in groups, to
pay their tribute at this time to the Na
tion's illustrious dead. Several members
of jthe diplomatic corps in court costume
were among the early comers. Ex
President Cleveland -and ex-Secretary
of War Lamont arrived about 8:30. and

were shown to seats In the Red parlor.
The members of the Cabinet began to ar
rive soon after, and were immediately fol
lowed by the members of the Senate com
mittee and the members of the Supreme
Court, headed by Chief Justice Fuller, in
their robes of office. President Roosevelt
arrived at 8:50 o'clock, accompanied by
his wife and his sister, and went to the
Blue parlor, where they were joined by
the members of the Cabinet. Tho Presi
dent wore a frock coat, with a band of
crepe on the left arm.
Start From the White Ilonsc.
Precisely at 9 o'clock a silent command
was given and the body-bearers silently
and reverently raised to their stalwart
shoulders the casket containing all that
was mortal of the illustrious dead. They
walked with slow cadenced step and as
they appeared at the main door of the
White House, trne Marine Band, standing
on the avenue opposite the Mansion,
struck up the hymn the dead President
loved so well. "Nearer, My God, to
Thee." There was perfect silence through
out the big mansion, and as the last1 sad
strain of music died away the throns in
the building lifted their heads, but their
eyes were wet.
As the hearse moved away the mourners
from the White House entered carriages
and followed the body on its march to the
Capitol, where the funeral services were
to be held.
Major-General John R. Brooke was at
the head of the line, mounted on a splen
did charger. Behind him came his aides,
the red-coated artillery band, a squadron
of cavalry, with red and white guidons,
limp In the damp air, a battery of field
artillery with the men sitting straight and
still as stutues, a company of engineers,
two battalions of Coast Artillery and a,
detachment of the Hospital Corps. Then
came the Naval contingent of the first sec.
tlon, headed by the Marine Band, who
were followed by a battalion of marines
-.j n nf caJlriT-c frnm tho TCnrth At-
flantic squadron, very picturesque and
strong.
As the National Guard of the District of
Columbia broucht up the rear of the
first section of the parade, the civic sec
tion of the procession marched Into line.
It was under command of General" Henry
V. Boynton, as chief marshal, and com
prised detachments from the military or
der of the Loyal Legion, the Regular
Army and Navy Union, the Union Veteran
Legion, the Spanish War Veterans and
the Grand Army of the . Republic. As
the veterans of 1)he Civil War passed tho
waiting. hearse wheeled- slowly into line,
the guards of honor from, the Army and
Navy tool?, up positions on either side, of
the hearse "and the funeral cortege proper
took its appointed, place behind a delega
tlon of fhe Grand Army of the Republic.
Close behind the hearse came a carriage
In which were seated ex-President
Grover Cleveland, Rear-Admiral Robley
D. Evans and John D. Wilson. In a car
riage drawn, by four fine black horses,
coming next, were President RoQsevelt,
Mrs. Roosevelt and Commander W. S.
Cowles, the President's brother-in-law.
Then followed a line of .carriages-bearing
all the members, pf the Cabinet, a number
of ex-members, and behind, the diplo
matic corps. Curtains Tvere drawn, so it
was difficult to distinguish thelr occu
pants. Solemnly the funeral party wound down
past the Treasury building and Into the
broad sweep of Pennsylvania avenue,
amid a profound silence that was awful to
those "who, only -six months ago, witnessed
the enthusiastic, plaudits which greeted
the man now dead as he made the same
march to assume, for a second time, "the
honors and burdens of the Presidential
office.-
The Artillery Band played a solemn
dirge as, with slow steps, it led the, sor
rowful procession up the avenue. All the
military organisations carried their arms,
but with colors draped ami furled. The
crowds were silent, all was sad, mourn
ful and oppressive. The people stood with
heads -uncovered and many bowed In ap
parently silent prayer as the hearse
passed along. A slow drizzling ram
was falling.
After the carriages in which were the
diplomats, followed a long line of oth
ers containing the Justices of the Su
preme Cpurt, the Senate and House com
mittees appointed to attend the funeral
the local judiciary, the Assistant Secre
taries of the several executive depart
ments, members of the. various Govern
ment commissions and representatives of
the Insular government. The remainder
of tne procession was composed of a large
representation of local bodies of Knights
Templar., over 1000 members of the Grand
Army of the Republic, the United Con
federate Veterans of the City of Washing
ton, and of Alexandria, Va., various
religious and patriotic societies, secret
societies and labor organizations, and
representatives of out-of-town organiza
tions. The military order of the Loyal
Legion, of which President McKinley was
an" honored member, with a representa
tion from the New York and Pennsylvania
commanderies, formed a conspicuous part
in this portion of the procession, as also
did the Knights Templar of this city .and
of Alexandria, Va., and a battalion of
uniform rank. Knights of. Pythias.
The full force of letter-carriers of Wash
ington, each with a band of black crepe
around his arm, walked to the solemn
tread ofc the dirge. The banners of all or
ganizations were folded and, draped with
black, and all marching civilians wore
mourning badges and white gloves. Fife
and drum corps bands rendered at fre
quent intervals along the route the Presi
dent's favorite hymn, "Nearer, My God,
to Thee." The procession occupied one
hour and a half In passln&.a given point.
At the Capitol.
The entrances to the eait and west
wings of the Capitol and the great mar
ble staircases ascending from the plaza
to the respective entrances of the House
and Senate were jammed with people.
Rain was falling, but despite this the
vast crowds clung to their places. It
was a silent throng. Scarcely even was
there a murmur of conversation audible.

The police arrangements were perfect
early in tho day. Captains Cross and
Piorson, by direction of the- Superintend
ent of Police. Major Richard Sylvester,
cleared the plaza and threw around it" a
cordon of officers. The main entrance to
the rotunda of the Capitol, in which tho
religious exercises incident to the 'obse
quies were to be held, was reserved fo"
distinguished eueste nnd for the entrance
of the funeral party
At 10:12 o'clock the head of the proces
sion arrived at the north end of the Capi'
tol plaza, but instead of swinging di
rectly into the plaza and passing in front
of the Capitol, as is usually done on the
occasion of Presidential inaugurations, the
military contingent passed eastward on
B street, then south on First street
Headed by Major-General John R. Brooke
and staff, and the Fifth Artillery Corps,
the troops swept around to the south
end of the plaza and then marched to po
sition fronting the main entrance to the
Capitol. As soon as they had been formed
at rest, tho Artillery band on the left
and the Marine band on the right of the
entrance, the funeral cortege, with Its
guard of honor, entered the plaza from
the north. As- the hearse halted In front
of the main staircase. "the troops, respond
ing to almost inaudible commands, pre
sented arms. The guard of honor as
cended the steps, the Naval officers on thp
right and the Army officers on the left
forming a cordon on each side, just with
in the ranks of the artillerymen, seamen
and marines.
, As the eight sturdy body-bearers, four
from the Army and four from the Navy,
tenderly drew the flag-draped casket from
the' hearse, the bands sweetly rendered the
notes of "Nearer, My God, to Thee."
Every head in the vast attendant throng
was bared. Tear-bedimmed eyes were
raised to heaven, and a silent .prayer
went up from the thousands of hearts.
With careful and solemn tread, the body
bearers began the ascent of the stair
case with their precious burden, and ten
derly bore it to the catafalque in the ro
tunda. SPRING GULCH EXPLOSION.

Men Present The Public
Admitted. "
WASHINGTON, Sept. li.-The funeral
services at the Capitol over the remains
of the late President McKinley were sim
ple and beautiful. They were of the form
prescribed in the Methodist Church. Two
hymns, a prayer, an address and a bene
diction comprised all of it, yet the impression-
left at the end was of perfection.
Just at 10 o'clock Admiral Dewey mac
his appearance, accompanied by General
Otis, General Davis and General Rugglcd.
He glanced over the scene, and then took
up his station at the eastern entrance,
Where he was joined by the other mem
bers tit the guard of honor. Mrs. Hobart
and her son, Mrs. Russell A. Alger, es
corted by General Hocker. also entered at
this time. The clergymen and the choir,
the latter from the Metropolitan Metho
dLst Episcopal Chureh, which Mr. Mc
Kinley attended, filed In and were seated
at the head of the catafalque.
At 10:40 o'clock the Cabinet entered and
were seated to the south of the platform;
and then, to the strains of "Nearer, My
God, to Thee," by the Marine Band, the
casket was borne Into the rotunda. Gen
eral Gillespie and Colonel Bingham led
the way, and every one arose. The guard
of honor on either side separated and the
casket was placed gently upon the cata
falque. Next came members of the family
of the deceased, Abner McKinley leading.
They were seated near the head of the
casket. Mrs. McKinley was not pres
ent. Senator Hanna was with the fam
ily party. Next the diplomatic corps en
tered, all in full court regalia, and were
seated to the sout'h. Ex-Presfdent Cleve
land, with General Wilson, his escort, sat
in the first row. Lastly came Pretl
dent Roosevelt, escorted by Commander
Cowles, and preceded by Mr. Cortelyou,
secretary to the President. The President
was slven a seat at the end of the row
occupied by the Cabinet just south of tho
casket. President Roosevelt's face was
set, and he appeared to be restraining his
emotions with difficulty.
When the noise occasioned by seating
the .late-comers had ceased, a hush fell
upon the people, and then the choir soft
ly sang, "Lead, Kindly Light," Cardinal
Newman's divine anthem, while every one
stood in reverence. ,
vr. Jfnylor'a Prayer.
At the conclusion of the hymn. Rev.
Dr. Henry R. Naylor. presiding eider of
the Washington District, Methodist Epis
copal church, delivered the invocation,
while the distinguished company listened
with bowed heads.
O Lord God. our Heavenly Father, a be
reaved Nation cometh to TheeMn its deep
sorrow. To whom can we go In such an
hour as tlito but unto Thee. Thou ouly
art able to comfort and support the af
flicted. Death strikes .down the tallest
and best of men, and consequent changes
are continually occurring among nations
and communities; but we have been
taught that Thou art the same yesterday,
today and forever, that with Thee there is no
variableness, nor the least shadow of turning.
So in tho midst of our grief we turn to Thee
for help.
We thank Thee, O Lord, that years ago
Thou didst give to this Nation a man whose
loss we mourn today. We thank Thee for tho
pure and unselfish life he was enabled to live
In tho midst of so eventful an experience.
We thank Thee for the faithful and dis
tinguished services which ho was enabled to
render to Thee, to our country and to tho
world. Wc bless Thee for such a citizen, for
such a law-maker, for such a Governor, for
such a President, for such a husband, for such
a. Christian example, and for such a friend.
But, O Lord, we deplore our loss today; wo
sincerely Implore Thy sanctifying benediction.
'Wo pray Thee for that dear one who has been
walking by his sldo through the years, shar
ing his triumphs and partaking of his sor
rows. Give to her all needed sustenance and
comfort her stricken heart so greatly craves.
And under the shadow of this great calamity
may 3he learn as never before tho fatherhood
of God and the matchless character of His sus
taining grace.
And, O Lot d, we sincerely pray for him upon
whom the mantle of Presidential authority
has so suddenly and unexpectedly fallen. Help
him to walk worthy the high vocation whrre
unto he has been called. He needs Thy guid
ing hand and Thy inspiring spirit continually.
May he always present to the Nation and to
the world divinely illumined judgment, a
brave heart and an unsullied character. Hear
our prayer, O Lord, for tho official family
of the Administration, ot those men who as
sociated with Thy' servant, tho President in
the administration of affairs of government.
, Guide them in all their deliberations to th
Nation's welfare and to the glory of God.
And now. O Lord, we humbly pray for Thy
blessing and consolation to come to all tho
people of our land and Nation. Forglvo our
past shortcomings: our sins of omission as
well as our sins of commission. Help us to
make tho Golden Rule thostandard of our
lives, that wo may "do unto others as we
would have them do unto us," and thus bo
come Indeed a people whose God Is the Lord.
These thlng3 we humbly ask in the name of
him who taught us when we pray to say:
"Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed
be Thy name: Thy kingdom come. Thy will bo
dono on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this
day our dally bread and forgive us our tres
passes as we forgive them that trespass
against us. And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil, for Thine Is the
kingdom and tho power and tho glory, forever.
Amen."
As the pastor ceased, the voices of the
choir swelled forth and tho rich, pure so
prano notes of Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes led
the hymn "Sometime We'll Understand."
The music was remarkably effective and
touching, as the notes cam'e back in soft
echoes from the fullness of the dome
overhead.
Bishop Andrew's Sermon.
As soon as the hymn ceased, Bishop
Edwin G. Andrews, of the Methodist
Episcopal church, who had come from
Ohio to say the last words over the re
mains of his life-long friend and parish
ioner, arose. He stood at the head of the
casket and spoke in sympathetic voice,
and with many evidences of deep emotion.
The acpustlc qualities of the rotunda do
not favor such addresses, and although
the bishop spoke in clear tones, tho
rippling echoes made it difficult for those
a short distance from him to catch his
words. He said:
"Blessed be the God and Father of
our Lord, who of his abundant mercy
hath begotten us again unto a lively
hope of the resurrection of Christ from
the dead, to an Inheritance uncorrupti
ble, undeflled, and that fadeth not away,
reserved In heaven for us who are now,
by the power of God, through faith unto
salvation, ready to be revealed in the
last time.
"The services for the dead are fitly,
and almost of necessity, services of re
ligion and of immortal hope. In the pres
ence of the shroud and coffin and the
narrow home, questions concerning intel
lectual quality, concerning public sta
tion, concerning great achievements sink
Into comparative insignificance: and ques
tions concerning character and man's re
lation to the Lord and giver of life, even
the life eternal, emerge to our view and
Impress themselves upon "us.
"Character abides. We bring nothing
Into this world, wc carry nothing out.
We ourselves depart with all the accum
ulations of tendency and habit and Qual
ity which the years have given to us.
We ask, therefore, even at the grave
of the illustrious, not altogether what
great achievement they had performed
and how they had commended them
selves to the memory and affection and
respect of the world, but chiefly of what
sort they were; what the interior nature
of the man was; what were his affini
ties. Were they with the good, true, tho
noble? What his relation to the infinite
Lord of the universe and to the com
passionate Savior of mankind; what his
fitness for the great hereafter which he
had passed.
"And such great questions come to us

The Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company has retired from the
Industrial Insurance business, and, by a contract with the Metropoli
tan Life -Insurance Company, the Metropolitan has agreed to as
sume all the Pacific Company's outstanding Industrial Policies wtth
the consent of the holders thereof.
The Metropolitan is the largest Industrial Comp"any in the country,
being as large as all the other Companies put together.

It Is the most liberal Company in its treatment of PolIcy-HoWors
in the whole country, or in the world.
For many years It has written more Insurance annually than any

In purely ordinary business, aside from the Industrial, It stood

Mutual and tho Equitable.
The Industrial field force Superintendents, Assistant Superinten

with the moment, even In the hour, when
we gather around the bier of those whom
we profoundly respect and eulogize, and
whom we tenderly love. In the years to
come we will give full utterance as to
the high statesmanship and great
achievements of the illustrious man
whom we mourn today. We shall not
touch them -today. The Nation alrcady
has broken out In its grief and poured
Its tears, and is still pouring them, over
the loss of a beloved man. It Is well.
But we ask this morning of what sort
this man Is, so that we may. perhaps,
knowing the moral and spiritual life that
Is past, be able to shape the far-withdrawing
future. I take it we must all
concede that nature and training and
reverently be It said the inspiration of
the Almighty, ( conspired to conform ad
mirably In his moral temper and alms.
We, none of us can doubt. I think, that
even by nature he was eminently gifted.
The kindly, calm and equitable tempera
ment, the kindly and generous heart, tho
love of justice and right, and the ten
dency toward faith and loyalty to un
seen powers and authorities these things
must have been with him from his child
hood, from his Infancy: but upon them
supervened the training which ho was
always tenderly thankful, and of which
even this great Nation, from sea to sea,
continually has taken note.
"It was a humble homo In which he
was born. It is a beautiful thing that
to the end of his life he bent reverently
before the mother whose example and
teaching and prayer had so fashioned his
mind and all his aims. The school came
but briefly, and then came to him the
church with a ministration of power. He
accepted the truth which it taught. He
believed In God and in Jesus Christ,
through whom God was revealed-. JHe
gladly partook with his brethren of the
symbols of mysterious passion and re
deeming love of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
He was helpful In all the beneficiaries
and activities; and from the church to
the close of his life, he received inspira
tion that lifted him above much of the
trouble, and weakness incident to our
human, nature, and blessings be to God,
may wc say, In the last and final hour
they enabled him confidently, tenderly
to say, 'It Is his will, not ours; that will
be done.'
"Such influences gave to us William
McKinley, and what was he? A man
of incorruptible personal and political In
tegrity. I suppose no one ever attempted
to approach him in the way. of a bribe;
and wo remember, with great felicitation
at this time, for such an example to our
selves, that when great financial diffi
culties and perils encompassed him, he
determined to deliver all he possessed to
his creditors; that there should be no
challenge of his perfect honesty in the
matter. A man of immaculate purity,
shall we say? No stain upon his
escutcheon, no syllable of suspicion that
I ever heard was whispered against his
character. He walked In perfect and
noble self-control.
"Beyond that, this man had somehow
wrought In him a great and generous
love for his fellowmcn. He had him
self been brought up among the common
people. He knew their labors, struggles,
necessities. He loved them. Shall I
speak a word next of the tenderness of
that domestic love which has so often
been commented upon? I pass It with
oply that word. I think no words can
set forth fully the unfaltering kindness
and carefulness and upbearing love which
belonged to him.
"And he was a man who believed in
right who had a profound conviction
that'the courses of this world had been
ordered In accordance with everlasting
righteousness or this world's highest
peril of good can never be reached; that
no nation can expect success In life ex
cept that It conforms to the eternal love
of the Infinite Lord, and pass itself In
individual and collective activity, accord
ing to the divine will.
"And now may I say further that it
seemed to be that to whatever we may
attribute 'all the lllustrlousncss of this
man, all the greatness of his achieve
ments, whatever of that we may attribute
to his intellectual character and quality,
whatever of It we may attribute to the
patient and thorough study that he gave
to the varldus questions thrust upon him
for attention; all his successes as a poll
ttcian, as a statesman, as a man of this
great country, those successes were
largely due to the moral qualities of
which I have spoken. They drew to him
the hearts of men everywhere and par
ticularly those who best knew him.
"His, qualities even associated with him
in kindly relations those who were his
political opponents. They made It possi
ble for him to enter that land with
which he, as one of tha soldiers of the
Union had not been in sympathy during
the war, and to draw closer the tie that
was to bind all the parts into one firmer
and one indissoluble union. They com
manded the confidence of the great body
of Congress, so that thej listened to his
plans and accepted kindly and hopefully
and truthfully all his declarations. His
qualities gave him reputation, not In

Is It possible that He who created, re

such a man will permit him to fall into
oblivion? The Instincts of morality are
in all good men. The divine, word of

The address lasted only about a quarter
of an hour- As the bishop concluded,
every, one In the vast rotunda ro, al
the choir. Intoning the .air. hundreds of
voices joined In the grand old hymn,
"Nearer. My God. to Thee." It was an
affecting moment-. In the midst of the
singing. Admiral Robley D. Evans, ad
vancing directly, placed a beautiful blue
floral cross at the foot of the casket. The
last notes died away softly, and with up
lifted hands, the benediction was pro
nounced by Rev. Dr. W. H. Cha-pman,
acting pastor of the Metropolitan Church.
This ended the religious services.
The Public Admitted.
After the funeral services almost 2
minutes was required to clear the ro
tunda sufficiently to permit the admission
of the general public. Moat of the flow
ers were removed from the casket. The
lid was lifted from over the face, and at
11:53 the people began to file by. coming
lntd the building at the eat door and
passing out through the west door. The
people passed on both sides of the casket.
No one was allowed more than a hurried
glance.
A's the coffin rested upon the catafalque
It was just about high enough to permit
of easy Inspection by- adults. The crowd
entered through l"he east main door of the
Capitol and passed out through the west
exit. The people came in double file, one
line passing to the right and the other
to the left' of the casket. Only a hurried
glance was permitted to any one, as It
was announced that the ceremony would
close promptly at 6:30 o'clock.
