Riders in the Big Six-Day Bicycle Race
Barely Able to Go on.
New YORK, Dec. i3.-The great six
day bicycle race that has drawn rs, 600
people to Madison Square garden came
to close at 1915 Saturday night and
Charles Miller, of Chicago, who has
proved to be a physical marvel, was
the winner with total of 2,O93 miles
and four laps to his credit. One by
one Miller wore his opponents out and
the original field of So starters stead
lily narrowed down to is. That num-
Der was on the track, but they were
wrecks. Miller himself was completely
worn out, and after taking bath and
rub in the afternoon he was unable
to lift his leg high enough to throw it
over the wheel and his trainers were
forced to lift him into the saddle. Be
sides being physically broken down,
the greater number of the riders who
finished were mental wrecks. The
first prize was 81, 200 and an additional
purse of 81, 500 for breaking the previ-
Gus record, which was 1,S0O miles. 1t
is charged that the track was short
and that a correct measurement will
reduce Miller's distance to 2,O14 miles.

A DAY OF MOURNING.
Funeral of Mrs. Mckinley at CantOn-Many
Messages of Coincidence.


Messages of Coincidence.
CANTON, o., Dec. 14.-The casket
bearing the earthly remains of Nancy
Allison Mckinley was nearly buried
in sea of flowers. All morning two
express wagons have been carrying
their loads of floral offerings to the
memory of the beloved departed. But
messages of sympathy and tokens OF
reverential regard are coming greater
distances than flowers can carry.
Wires and mails are overhowed with
kind words of coincidence in memory
of model American mother. Presi-
dent Faure, of France, American am
bassadors abroad, United States con-
Suls, the ambassadors of other coun-
tries stationed at Washington, govern
ors of states, judges, United States SEN
ators, congressman and other public
officials, Grand Army posts, and
friends by the thousands from all parts
of the civilized world have sent ex-
pressions of sympathy to the home of
the departed mother of the president
of the United States.
The funeral was held this afternoon
at one o'clock at the First Methodist
Episcopal church, of which deceased
had long been faithful member. All
the members of the cabinet with the
exception of Secretary Gage were
present. The funeral was the
largest ever held in Canton.
Business was practically sus-
pended in the city. All the churches
were represented at the services and
distinguished men were present from
all parts of the country. Rev. DIR.
Manchester, pastor of Mrs. McKinley's
church, made very brief address in
order to permit the pastors of other
churches to express a sentiment.
