flying express train, bounding along
from the nations capital to that bed
side in Canton, was too slow, and the
last hundred miles OF the journey
were made in special train which
dashed along mile minute.
Mother, here is William" said
Miss Helen Mckinley, as the Presi-
dent entered the room, "do you know
him?"
Mrs. Mckinley seemed to make an
effort to raise her feeble hand, and
the son, knowing he had been recog-
nized, grasped the hand, fell on his
knees and caressed it. Where now
was the President? Here was a sim
pie man, bowed in honest grief at the
bedside of a dying mother. and so
much the more man for it.
1t was not given him to remain at
that bedside as he would have liked.
The pressing demands of a nation
back to affairs of state. The eyes of
sympathizing nation followed him
in that hurried trip back to the capt.
tai, and when at the earliest possible
moment, after speaking to world in
the tones of President, he again
cast aside the robes of office, the
prayers of nation went with him
that he might yet reach the bedside
before that noble spirit took it's flight
With a persistency that surprised
even the physicians that faint spark of
life flickered, flickered until the breath
of the returned son caused it once
more to glow with momentary con-
seriousness
Mrs. Mckinley is eighty nine years
of age. At midnight, Tuesday, she
was still alive, aud resting easily.

The President the Man.

The heart of nation goes out in
sympathy this week to the President.
He is no longer the chief executive of
great nation, looked up to with ven-
GRAFTON and something of awe by the
mass of the people; he is a man of
common clay, bowed in grief at the
deathbed of an aged mother, and in
bis sorrow the masses draw near TO
him with less of veneration and more
OF human sympathy and love.
The tiial devotion of this son to
this mother during the trying times
of an exciting political campaign, and
at his triumphal entry into the White
House, aud the pride of that mother
whose prayers and counsel have fol-
lowed, nay, led, her boy step by step
TO the hig hest place in the councils of
the nation, will remain a pleasant
picture in that nations history.
AT the news that his mother had
been stricken, the Presidents first
thought was to reach her while she
was yet able to recognize him. The

Patriotism, peace and prosperity
form the key note of President Nc
kinley's annual message TO Congress.
His treatment of the annexation of
Hawaii, the Cuban and other foreign
questions, including that OF CONNER
cial reciprocity, is patriotic. to the
core, without the slightest trace of
jingoism, and his treatment of the
financial and other domestic questions
is that of man who only desires that
which will continue and increase the
prosperity the country is now begin
ming TO enjoy.

Nothing of more general benefit to
the morals of the country has been
done lately than the official announce
ment of the post Office department
that the mails would hereafter be
closed TO newspapers that print miss
ing letter word contests, or any
other kind of advertising matter con-
tanning chance or lottery schemes.
Some of the most daring swindiing
of the age has been conducted by this
class of advertisers, all of which vio-
lated the spirit, if not the letter, of
the anti lottery law.

The Ellsworth board of trade I'M
questionably expresses the sentiment
of the public in general when it AS
sures the constructors of the Shore
Line of its good will. and of its desire
to meet so far as possible the request
of the company for assistance in
bringing the terminus OF the road
into the city. The board thinks the
citizens cannot do all that is asked OF
them, and frankly says so; that is bet
ter than holding out any false hopes.
Clearly it would be advantageous to
the city to have the terminus here
rather than two miles out, and il
would certainly be of advantage to
the road to have it here; both city
and road would be benefited Under
these circumstances it would be
strange if finally an arrangement is
not made whereby this mutual advan-
tage can be realized

for qualification in the fact that the
