M'KINLEY AT THE BEGINNING OF HIS LEGAL
CAREER.


The day upon which the Mckinley
tariff bill" was passed in the house
must always stand as the supreme mo-
ment of McKinley's congressional ca
reer. The bill, by adroit parliamentary
generalship which had prevented it
from being weighted down with ameIrS-
ments not approved by the committee,
had been brought under the operation of
the previous question. 1t stood complete,
reauy 10 go 1ortn Tor good or evil. Upon
Mckinley devolved the task of smooth
ing its path and speeding it upon its
way.
The occasion, thoroughly advertised,
attracted to the capitol an immense
throng The galleries were one mass Of
humanity and the anticipation of the
vote had compelled the attendance of ev-
cry member. AS usual, Mckinley spoke
without notes. His voice, penetrating
but not harsh, filed the chamber. Every
sentence was as solid as the granite in
the eternal hills. Never was an orator
more free from the ordinary claptrap
than Mckinley. So true is this that the
incident when he suddenly drew from
beneath his desk the suit Of clothes
which he purchased for $40 at the es-
tablishment of a fellow representative in
Boston, III order to demonstrate the
cheapness of wearing apparel, stands out
in all its loneliness with vivid distinct
ness.
1t was this earnestness and self con-
viction that made Mckinley address in
the house and Oh the stump so effective.
Indeed the occasion is still recalled when
ne held an audience os Georgia people
for two hours at Chautauqua assembly
near Atlanta while he preached to them
the glories of the protective tariff sys-
tenn. cit was only by the greatest self
control" said Henry W. Grady, speak
ing Of this event afterward, 'that l re-
strained myself from rising as Mckinley
concluded his wonderful speech and de-
claring myself henceforth ready to fol-
cow him as disciple"

sports, fond of horses and hunting and
fishing, and all outdoor exercise, and
yet at 16 we find him taking upon him
self serious view of life. The church
records show that in 1858, when he was
hardly 16, he united with the Metho-
dist Episcopal church of Poland, the
minister Of which was Rev, DR.. Day,
whose son, Wilson M. Day, is now pres
ident of the Cleveland chamber Of com
merce.
Major McKinley's father was an iron
manufacturer, and pioneer in that
business. William was his third son.
The eldest David, is now resident of
San Francisco, where he is the Hawai-.
ian consul general to the United States
The second son, James, died about four
years ago. There is another son, Abner,
younger than the major, who, although
citizen Of Canton, spends most of his
time in New York, where he is engaged
in business.
McKinley's mother is now 81 years
of age, but alert and vigorous, mentally
and physically. She sees much Of her
distinguished son, and he waits on her
and walks with her each day he spends
in Canton. Even now, while his anxi-
cites are and should be on keenest edge,
playing, as he is, bold game for the
biggest stake on earth, he visits and
walks with his mother every afternoon.
They prefer the quiet streets Of the sub
urbs for these little excursions, and
Mckinley may be seen escorting the old
lady with the profoundest Difference and
affection, while the conversational in
terchange between the two never flags.

M'KlNLEYS HOME LIFE.
His Wife Is an Invalid, but She Aids Him
In His Work.


In His Work.
Major McKinley's homo life is very
happy, despite the fact that his wife is
an invalid. Mrs. Mckinley was Miss
Ida Saxton, daughter of James and Mary
Saxton of Canton, o. She received an
excellent education when girl, spent
some time abroad and became her ia
theirs assistant in his bank, where it
was said that her fair face attracted
bouquets and bank notes to the window.
"She must be trained" said her father,
"to buy her own bread if necessary, and
not to sell herself to matrimony."
She had many suitors, but Major Nc
Kinley, then rising young lawyer,
vanquished all rivalry, removed the
young woman from tho cashiers win
dow and won from honest James Saxton
these words when the hand Of the daugh-
ter was gained:
''You are the only man l have ever
known to whom I would intrust my
daughter. "
Mrs. Mckinley has always assisted
her husband i'll politics. Her i'll health
has in no wise deferred her from enjoy
ing the political honors he has won, nor
has it prevented her from being q wise
counselor. Her presence has time and
again served as an inspiration to her
husband. When political preferment
first came to former Governor Mckinley,
it was his wife who convinced him that
he should accept She believed implicit
~ i'll his talents, and that his service
would be for the good of the state she
was certain. She has never wavered in
her faith in her husbands convictions,
and consequently she is a protectionist
and believes the country must have n
protective tariff law
She has confidence in him, not only as
public official, but as man. Her ill
ness has been overcome by her affection,
and she has travelled thousands Of miles
when she was weak in body merely that
she might be near him. She has encour-
aged him by word, look and presence,
and he has in knightly style returned
the favors and reciprocated the sacred
affection. Her home life has been short,
for out Of the 20 years of married life
more than 20 have been passed by her
husband i'll the public service. She has
lived in hotels, doubtless q source Of re-
greet, since her fragile body made it
more than imperative that she should
have quiet place. She has never COM
planned, but has urged Governor Nc
Kinley to push forward i'll his public ca
reer
Mrs. Mckinley spends most OF her
time in coy apartment on the second
floor, and much of her leisure is devoted
to crocheting those dainty little slippers
which have so many times brought sun
shine into gloomy hospital wards in va
rious parts of the country. II is said
that she has knitted over 4, 900 pairs of
these slippers i'll her 20 years of invalid
life In appearance Mrs. Mckinley is Of
medium height, with brown hair and
large deep blue eyes. Although an in.

ton to take his mother to church each
Sunday morning. When he went to Co
lumbus as governor he determined to
keep up the practice as much as pcssi-
BILE, and unless the press of public bust
ness was very great he always slipped
quietly over to Canton from the state
capital on Sunday mornings and walked
to church with his mother on his arm.
The next train would carry him to CO.
lumbus where his wife awaited his
coming. Naturally the mother looks
with pride ON such son, and she fol-
lows with keen interest the progress Of
his presidential canvass

lied by firmness from start to finish

London bought moderately of its fav-
orites on the belief that all danger of
trouble between the United States and
Spain, growing out of the Competitor
incident, had passed away, Foreign
bankers also received limitations that
there will be favorable developments in
Transvaal matters shortly
Local operators were inclined to go
slowly because of the engagement of
$1,500,000 gold shipment to Europe to-
morrow and belief that at least 81
100000 more will be forwarded on Sat
urday. The latter estimate will prob
ably have to be revised, as the bond ne
gotiations now progressing in London
may be brought to a successful conclu-
sion before the end of the week
A good deal was said again to-day
about the continued silence of Mr. Nc
Kinley on the currency question, and
this undoubtedly has deferred operators
from making new ventures. The dlecla-
ration OF the usual dividend by the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy had a
stimulating influence.
The advance in prices ranged from
4 to 215, the internationals, grangers
and industrials leading. Sugar was
bought on rumors of an early advance
in refined, and Leather preferred was
taken on reports that the directors con-
templated the payment of dividend
shortly. Bay State Gas rallied on buy
ing by New England houses. The

feeling as az present existed. Continuing.
Ar. Eayard sail that statesmanship could
have no higher goal or object than the
state Of things aow existing. Continuing.
the ambassador remarked that he was in
this country not TO discover difficulties, but
occasions OF agreement" AT tho conciu-
sion Of the laying OF the stone Mr.. Bayard
read a long address. covering twenty pages
and consisting chiefly OF a history OF John

The Van Horn Process.

The Van Horn process OF treating gold
ores now in use In the old London mill. in
Park county. Idaho, is thus described by
Prof. Sadtler: 1T IS very simple, embrace
ing principles that have been acknowl-
edged by metallurgists for a long time.
The mill is similar to a Huntington and Is
claimed to be a great Improvement over
that mill. in that the gold Is more thor
onghly secured before passing out 70 the
plates. But the main advantages claimed
are in the amalgamation process. There
are several plates set one above another.
at the foot of each being a trough fun Of
quicksilver. attached to the plate In such
a manner that the flow falls perpsndicu-
iarly upon the quicksilver. What is not
caught on the first trough passes TO the
next plate and on to the next trough and
so on. A current OF hydrogen passes
through each trough OF quicksilver, and
the vivifying action OF hydrogen upon
quicksilver is well known. Besides this n
current of electricity is passed through the
quicksilver. The mill is now running upon
the taiilngs from the old London MILL
which are said TO run IN the neighborhood
OF s. TO the ton and I am told that all the
values are saved. They have a sufficient
quantity Of tailings 10 run the mill two
years, so the process will receive a most
