and his firmness,
The doubters have been put to shame.
He and no one else was president. He
has grappled great domestic and foreign
problems and has solved them to the
satisfaction Of the people. He has con-
Quoted himself SO as to convince every
body that in all his acts he has been
governed by patriotic sentiments alone
and has had in mind only the best in
terests of the country.
He has grown in ability as years
have gone by. His last public utterances
those at Buffalo, few days ago-were
of the highest order of craftsmanship.
He displayed in them his ability to per-
ceive changes in conditions and to depart
to some extent from the cherished opin-
ions Of earlier days. His remarks in
reference to our commercial relations
with other countries were aecentuated
by breadth Of view which won immed-
late recognition everywhere.

H. Chapman pronounced the benediction.

ton, Ohio, where it arrived Wednesday,
The remains remained at the Mckinley
home Wednesday night and the final
funeral services were held on Thursday
afternoon at 2 o'clock.

PRESIDENT Mckinley IS DEAD.
Roosevelt IS Now presden-He Took the Oath Of Office Last
Saturday Remains Laid to Rest.

William Mckinley, President of the
United States, died at the home of John
g. Milburn, in Buffalo, at 2.15 o'clock
Saturday morning. The end was peaceful
and painless. The President was conscious
at intervals during the night. He called
for Mrs Mckinley and babe her an affec-
tionate farewell, his last words being:
"It is Gods way, His will be done" The
relatives, members of the Cabinet and
other friends were admitted to the room
and took their leave of him several hours
before the end.
Those present at the time of the Presi-
dents death were Secretary CorteIyon,
DR. Rixey, Mrs and Miss Barber and Miss
Duncan.
The announcement of the death to the
members of the Cabinet was made by
Webb Hayes, who said: "It is all over
President McKinley's last conscious
hour on earth was spent with his wife
to whom he devoted lifetime Of care.
He died unattended by minister of
the gospel, but his last words were
humble submission to the will of the
God in Whom he believed. He was
reconciled to the cruel fate to which
an assassin's bullet had condemned
him, and faced death in the same spirit
of calmness and poise which had marked
his long and honorable career.
Mrs. Mckinley last saw her husband
between II and ~ o'clock. At that
time she sat by the bedside, holding his
hand.
President Mckinley, during the last
four years, has been an attractive per-
sonal character and bis display of states
manlike qualities have endeared him to
Americans.
He had developed high degree OF
ability which few men gave him credit
for five years ago. Many thought then
that he was a man of but one idea
Protection. Many fancied that not he
but some power behind the throne
would be President. All gave him credit
for spotless integrity and a desire to do

SOME NOTABLE EVENTS.

Some notable events have taken place
since Mr.. Mckinley was first elected.
The passage Of the Dingley Tariff Bill !,
which has opera ed to protect American
industries, while it has enabled our peo-
pie to gain a firm foothold on foreign
markets, was notable achievement. The
working of tile bill has been even better
than its supporters anticipated.
The blowing up of the Maine, on Feb
ruary Is, 1898, led directly to the war
with Spain, which has served to give the
United States more important position
than the country has ever had in the eyes
of foreigners. The effect of the war has
been larger acquisition Of foreign terri
tory than has taken place since the an
nexation made after the Mexican War
SO years ago.
The passage of the Gold Standard bill
has practically put our finances on firm
basis.
The discussion of reciprocity treaties
arranged by Mr.. Casson have opened the
way for trading with foreigners on more
advantageous terms. In his speech at
Buffalo on Thursday afternoon the Presi-
dent took strong ground in favor of
reciprocity.
Securing the open doorin China means,
when things have quieted down there, a
greater expansion of trade for the Unite d
States.
The Presidents transcontinental trip
through the South and California showed
how popular he was in all tie states
through which he passed. During his
holiday this summer at Canton, although
it was announced that he went West. to
rest, he was compelled to see many people
who felt attached to their kind President
During his administrations the United
States has taken the greatest step forward
in making the influence of the country
felt abroad. The balance of trade in our

yrLL1Ax MCKINLEY

1.-THE President died at 2.19
this morning" This message
sent over the wires last Satur-
day morning marked the end o1
a great man and the close OF a
life devoted to his wife, his
country and his God. In the
week that has elapsed, his body
has been carried to Washington
where it lay in state after the
official funeral, thence to its ina
resting place in his well beloved
Canton. In all that has been
written of him, there is no dis
cordant note. Even those who
have for q life time opposed him
and his policies unite with his
most ardent admirers in drop
ping the tears of affection upon
his bier. His whole life since
boyhood has been spent as SOL
der, Congressman, Governor
and President in the service OF
his country. Living thus in the
glare of publicity it would not
have been strange had some one
remembered a thing done that
should not have been done, or
left undone that should have
been done. If so, it has not ap-
peared. On the contrary he is
universally held up as a model
husband, patriot and christian.
In the words of Bishop Andrews:
"No stain was upon his escutch-
con; no syllable Of suspicion that
1 ever heard was whispered
against his character. He walk
ed in perfect and noble self-con-
troll"
The lesson to be learned from
this taking off of our President
at the beginning of his second
term, is, or should be, "Anarchy
must be eradicated from our
social system" The death OF
Abraham Lincoln, the first
martyr was due to rebellion
and with his death rebellion
was ended for all time. The
death of Garfield was due to
bitter factionalism and there has
been no such bitterness in our
politics since that time. The
death of Mckinley is due to
anarchy and anarchy and an
archists must be dealt with so
that it will be entirely and for
ever stamped out. This country
is freedoms home, but freedom
is not license.

DELAWARE COLLEGE

Delaware College has just opened with
the largest Freshman class in many years.
In all 3S students have been admitted to
this class, one to the Sophomore class and
one to the Senior class. The ages of the
new students range from l6 to 36. The
average age is 1S3 years. Most of the
newcomers are from Delaware and the
Eastern Shore of Maryland, but there are
also students from Pennsylvania, Ohio
and New Jersey.
An increased proportion of the Fresh
men are taking the Engineering courses.
There are II entering the Civil Engineer
ing course, entering the Electrical En-
gineering course, and the Mechanical
Engineering course.

from Wilmington, from other parts of
New Castle county, and from Sussex

The public schools throughout the State
seem to have responded to the increased
entrance requirements of the College in
mathematics, for nearly every freshman
passed a satisfactory examination in geo.
metry.
The student temporarily excluded
from the College dormitory by reason of
the incomplete condition Of the extensive

A SENSIBLE SUNDAY rEwspARER
So Promises The Sunday North American
the First Number of Which Will
be Out September 90

The North american announces that on
September 10Th, it will begin the publica-
ton of Sunday edition. Prevailing con-
ditions demand of each metropolitan
paper an issue every day in the year, and
The North american is sensibly obeying
that demand. Rumors of this innoya-
Ton have already been heard and interest
mnd speculation as to what it will be like
& keen. The North Ameyiean, when it
does anything, does it better than any
one else, and in the matter of Sunday
paper the same rule is expected to apply.
For one thing, The North Anaericaa pro-
mises that its Sunday Edition will be
different" The standard of text and
illustration will be as high as that of anv
monthly magazine. 1t will not betscheapi'
IN any sense. It will not magnify the
trivial, neither will it make heroics out of
the silly and the commonplace. The
North AngericGn's motto is, IA sensible
sunday newspaper" and if it is such It
certainly will be different and welcome.
RI will strive, of course, to be interest
mo and entertain. That goes without
sav;ng. The special writers and artists

The Medical Press and Circular, Of
London, declares that the tendency to
obesity depends largely on racial and
individual predisposition, but occCpa-
tion and personal habits are also po-
tent factors in determining this prone
ness to the deposition of fat in excess
Sive quantity. The multiplication of
cheap modes of transport unquestion-
ably favors the tendency to obesity,
so that with the rapid development Of
underground and above-ground elec-
trie traction in London and other
large cities the next generation must
be prepared for an evolution in this
direction.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1901-04-15

The practice of raising heavy build
ings by means of jackscrews has been
in vogue in this country for many
years, but has never been initiated by
Europeans until recently, and only
then when an Austrian who had re-
sided in this country several years
prompted a resort to it. No one will
retort that Americans are equally slow
to adopt foreign practices that have
had their usefulness demonstrated.
Perhaps this difference in methods
may explain why the United States is
making such astonishing industrial
progress. 1t certainly makes clear one
?act, and that is that if Europeans
Travelled as much in this country as
Americans do in theirs, and at the
same time observed as closely here as
our people do when abroad, thers
would be less talk of yankee ingenu-
ity" and a larger exhibition of the
quality in other lands.

Unquestionably cheap fuel is large
factor in American supremacy, thinks
the Pittsburg Dispatch. But the man
behind the machine is the most impor-
tant factor in the whole equation. The
educated, self-respecting, well paid
workingman is responsible more than
anything else for putting American
products ahead in the markets. He
not only puts out his wares cheaply,
but weaving in his intelligence he
makes them adapted to their uses
the best.
