The desire for souvenirs upon the

q distinctive feature OF the Mckinley
funeral train. says the Pittsburg Post.
The most popular of all the methods
adopted was the placing OF coins on
the track SO that the train might pass
over them, smashing fiat the pieces
of money as a mark OF Identification In
years to come. This practice was not
confined to any particular point or
crowd. but was INDUCED in generally
all along the route. The mutilated
coins were afterward gathered up by
their owners and displayed with much
pride. At some stations. according to
the train conductors. 10 many coins
were placed on the rails that 1t caused
q slight jar to the cars as they passed
over them. Coins Of different denomi-
nations a~ggregating ut least several
hundred dollars were strewn along the
track at Union station. Even these

occasion and surroundings, and. In
stead Of making a rush for their prop

Assiniboine's Summit.
Henry Grier Bryant, traveller and ex-
plorer, recently returned from a Ave
weeks trip I'm the Canadian Rockies,
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
With Walter Dwight Wilcox, q fellow
of the Royal Geographical Society OF
London, who has often travelled and
made scientific Investigations there
abouts. MIR. Bryant organized an cxpe-
dition to explore the region around the
headwaters of the Elk and Palliser
rivers-a district covering about 1000
square miles, which has remained q
blank on the government maps, and,
II possible, to make an attempt to as
cend Mount Assiniboine, the Matter
horn Of the Rockies. The party, on
sisting Of two Swiss guides. three cow
boys and fourteen horses, with pro-
visions and supplies. beside Mr.. Bryant
and Mr.. Wilcox. left Banff, a station
on the Canadian Pacific. on July 81.
and struck through the woods to the
south and up the Spray river In the
direction Of Mount A~ssiniboine. No
one had ever succeeded In reaching
the summit OF this mountain. which
Is put down In the government survey
as being 10000 feet high. Every at
tack ON the mountain before had been
made from the north, but Mr.. Bryant
and his party decided to try II from
the south, from which direction the
ascent was believed to be easier. One
OF the Swiss guides was kicked by a
horse before reaching the foot, and
had to be left behind. Picking their
way over stretches Of nov and rocks
and keeping as much as possible un-
der the overhanging ridges, so as to
be protected from O possible avalanche
the party steadily pushed upward, but
were brought to q standstill when only
500 feet from the top by q long tray
erse OF snow, over which It would
have been foolhardiness to attempt to
pass. The expedition had reached H.
1875 feet. however. the highest point
ever attained. Mr.. Bryant ssys that 1t
Is only q question Of time before the
summit will be reached, but as their
time was limited the party was COM
