Not Always Understood.

A fact often overlooked, or not al
ways understood, is that women suffer
as much from distressing kidney and
bladder troubles as the men. The
womb is situated back of and very close
to the bladder, and for that reason any
distress, disease or Inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back or urinary
passage is often, by mistake, attributed
TO female weakness or womb trouble of
some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided by setting urine aside
for twenty-four hours; a sediment or
settling is evidence that your kidneys
and bladder need dOctOring If you
have pain or dull aching in the back,
pass water too frequently, or scanty
supply, with smarting or burning

Canton, o., Dec. 13.-Mrs. Mckinley
passed from life at few minutes past
O'Clock yesterday morning. with all
her children and other immediate rel
atives At her bedside She did not suf-
fer any in her last hours, bat gradu-
ally passed from the deep. palsied
sleep In which she has rested almost
constantly for the past ten days, into
the sleep Of death.
No word could be secured from the
house for some hours before the dis
solution. Knocks of reporters, as
well as those of telegraph messengers,
were unanswered. At 2:35 an under
taker was summoned and the first
publicity given to the public of the
death.
At the dawn of day it was felt that
the end was at hand. for about that
time she experienced one of the sink
ing spells common to the Illness and
for long time seemed 80 nearly in
animate that 1t appeared no rally was
possible. But the rally came. and
with 1t condition in which she was
able to take small amount of liquid
nourishment, the frs. she has taken
since last Monday. This was followed
by such peaceful repose as to revive
TIC uOIN, Wnlcn was realized, tnat She
would live through the day. In the
afternoon another period Of anxiety
was experienced by the watchers.
Another sinking spell came. and for a
time 1t seemed as though it would be
the last.
The doctor called at $50 o'clock and
reported that he found a material
change for the worse, such as he re-
garded as certain to bring about final
dissolution during the night. He had
not even faint hope that she could
live until morning.
Funeral services over the remains OF
Mrs. Mckinley will be held in the
First n. E. Church Of this city at l
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Interment
Will follow In Westlawn cemetery
Just west of the city. and Tuesday
evening President Mckinley and wife
and officials from Washington who al
tend the funeral will leave for the
capital, reaching there about noon
Wednesday. These are the arrange
ments so far as completed.

Sir Walter Scott's writings do not
pass into eclipse behind the later pro-
ducts of genius. The Providence Pub
lie Library issues bulletin from
which 1t appears that during ten years
q few books were drawn more than
three hundred and fifty times. Among
these were "Ivanhoe," Guy Manner
ing" THE Bride of Lammermoor,
and "Kenilworth." "Kenilworth" was
taken out six hundred and twenty-five
times. Thirty-five years after Scott's
death a London bookseller would not
keep In his stalls sixpenny edition Of
the Waverley novels, because they
killed the sale OF all other books. Yet
the lure was not in sensationalism: !:
the popular craving was not for pois-
onous sweets; millions of readers
found only pure and wholesome hu-
man pleasure.

No doubt a great deal Of the wrang-

whether lawyers are the best legisla-
