ed this vasr army ro the American pGo- pie? What has enshrined you in their hearts? What has given you perma- nent, impcrishable place in history?
 "'The answer comes that you saved the nation. It was because you did some thing-aye, you sacrificed something You were willing to give up your lives for civilization and liberty, not for the civilization and liberty of an hour. but 'of ages. That has given you the place in the hearts of the American people.
 "Great and good deeds never die, and the Grand Army of the Republic is to be congratulated tonight that the Union it saved and the peace it secured at Ap- pomattox Court House more than a third of a century ago is stronger, better and dearer to the American people to- day than ever before in all our history. We are once more and forever one peo- ple--one in faith, one in purpose, will Ing to sacrifice our lives for the honor of our country and the glory of our flag.
 "The blue and the gray march under one tlag-we've got but one flag now-the same that our grandfathers lifted up, the same our fathers bore and that flag which you kept stainless and made tri- umphant forevermore.
 ''I may be pardoned for saying in this presence that this has been one of the happiest days of my life, looking in the faces of my comrades. They are getting a little too old for war, but they are all right.
 That during last year and this sum mer we were able to convene 250.O00 of the best young men in the United States was due to the example of your patriot ism and the inspiration of your example"

 'It is probable that this plan will be adopted. It is understood to have Secre- tary Roots support. r...

Kentucky Deputy sherin Killed.

Bar6oursville, Ky. Sept. GA courier from Manchester brings news that Wash Thackera, Il deputy sheriff of Clay coun- ty, has been shot from ambush and killed. Thackera had served as deputy sheriff of Clay county for 15 years. No threats against his life had come to his ears, and he felt secure in the discharge of his otfi- cial duty. Since his murder it is recalled that he was a witness of the Morris Philpot fight and that his testimony in court was favorable to the Philpots. Sheriff Beverly White is in pursuit of the murderer with posse of 50 men, which would s,em to indicate that the White faction has no sympathy with the crimi- nal. Four shots were fired when Thack- era was killed. Jim Smith, his compan- ion, was not hit, but was rendered un- conscious by his horse failing on him.

came 10 this country when he was lad and settled in the village of Gravesend Bay. Mc<ane attended the village school and was later apprenticed to a carpenter in Gravesend. He was soon graduated from the bench and establish ed carpentry business of his own, in which he prospercd. Almost all the large hotels at Coney Island and two-thirds of the smaller buildings were built under McKane's supervision
 Seeing chance for advancement in politics, Mckane accepted when q young man the office of village constable. Later he was appointed commissioner of com mon lands, then was made supervisor and president of the county boards of the town of Gravesend. He had been a Democrat in politics, but in 1887 he quar- reled with the party, and the general committee expelled him from. the organi- zation. He was then president of the police, health and water boards, chief of police and president of the board of su- peryisors of Kings county and president of the town of Gravesend.

 He made his peace with the Demo cratic party in 1891 and was then at the zenith of his power. But he became too bold. and when William J. Gaynor was n candidate for supreme court judge and declared that he intended to devote par ticular attention to the vote at Coney Island. controlled by Mckane, Gaynor sounded the deathknell to the power of the boss of Coney Island. Judge Gaynor determined to have the registry lists at Gravescnd, Sheepshcad Bay and Coney Island inspected and copied for his in- spection. This led to n conflict of au- thority. which resulted in the indictment of McI[ane for willfully instructing the inspectors to violate the law in refusing to expose publicly their registry lists for inspection. He was tried, convicted and sentenced to six years in Sing Sing pfis- on and entered the jail to serve his time on March ;p. 1891. Influence of all kinds was brought to bear on the governor to obtain the pardon of McKane, but it failed, and he served his time, less the communication he had earned as model prisoner.
 McKane was liberated on April 30, 1898, and returned to Coney Island, but he never reassumed the reins of power, owing pgincipally to the fact that he was unable to obtain restoration of his citi- zenship. His friends brought influence to bear upon Governor Roosevelt to this end. but without result. He had lived quietly, devoting his time to his building buSinpss
