1t may be a great honor to dine with
eminent personages abroad, but 1t
should be so to at all compensate for
the discomfort such function would
seem to entail. At the table of the late
queen OF England the conversation was
practically conducted in whispers for
nobody could address her according to
the etiquette Of the occasion, unless
first spoken to by her. Whether this
rule will prevail with King Edward re-

SCENE AS HE WAS SHOT.
President Showed Great Bravery, and
Said "May God Forgive Him" AS
He Looked at ASSailant.

Five minutes before the President
was shot the crowd was in the most
cheerful humor in the Temple of
Music. The police had found no trou-
BILE of any kind. and when the Presi-
dents carriage, containing besides the
Chief Executive President John q.
Milburn, of the Pan-American Expo
sition, and Private Secretary George
b. Cortelyou, drove up to the side en-
trance to the Temple it was met by..a
mighty salute of cheers and applause.
The three alighted and were es-
corted to the door of the building.
Almost Immediately carriage con-
tanning Secret Service Men George
Foster and Samuel R.Ireland drove
up, and these detectives, with several
other Secret Service men, entered
the building together. Inside they
were met by Director General Buch-
anan, who had arrived but moment
before, and he directed them as to
where to stand.
In passing to the place the Pres
ident took off his hat and smiled
pleasantly to little group of news
paper men and to the guards who
had been stationed in the place. To
one of the reporters he spoke smil-
ingly, saying:
ut is much cooler in here, isn't it?''
PRESIDENT STOOD IN AISLE.
The interior of the building had
been arranged for the reception.
From the main entrance, which opens
to the southeast from the temple into
the wide esplanade, where thousands
had gathered, an aisle had been made
through the rows of seats in the
building to a point near the center.
This aisle was abont eight feet wide
and turned near the center to the
southwest door of the temple, so that
there was passage dividing the south
part of the structure into right
angle.
1t was SO arranged that the people
who would shake hands with the
President would enter at the south
east door, meet the President in the
centre and then pass on out at the
southwest door. Where the aisle
made the curve in the centre of the
building the corner had been decor
ated with tall palms and green plants,
SO the President stood under bower.
Both sides of the long aisle were COW
cred with continuous strips of purple
b uniting.
SOLDIERS WERE AT HAND.
From the southeast door and ex-
tending on up to and around the
curve was line of soldiers from the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1901-09-12

Seventy-third Seacoast Artillery on
each side. These were interpreted
with neatly uniformed guards from
the Exposition police, under the com
mand of Captain Damar.
When the Presidential party was
within the building the soldiers came
to attention and all took their
places. The President was escorted
to the centre of the palm bower, and
Mr.. Milburn took a position on his
left, so as to introduce the people as
they came in.
Secretary Cortelyou stood by the
President to the right. Secret Ser
viceman Foster, who has Travelled
everywhere with the President, took
a position not more than two feet in
front of Mr.. Milburn and Secret Ser
viceman Ireland stood on his left, so
that Ireland was the same distance
in front of the President as was Fos-
ter in front of Mr.. Milburn.
WAS IN FINE HUMOR.
Through this passage the people
who would meet the President must
pass. When all was ready, with de-
tectives scattered throughout the
aisle, the President smiled to Mr..
Buchanan, who was standing near
the corporal in charge of the artillery
men, and said that he was ready to
meet the people. He was very pleas
ant and as he waited for the doors to
open he rubbed his hands together,
adjusted his long Prince Albert coat,
and laughingly chatted with Mr.. Mil
burn. Secretary Cortelyou gave a
few last instructions to the officers as
to the manner in which the crowds
were to be hurried on through, so
that as many as possible could meet
the Executive.
Mr.. Milburn ordered the door to
open, and wavering line of people,
who had been squeezed against the
outside of the door for hours, began
to wend its way up through the lines
of soldiers and police to the place
where the President stood. An old
man with silver-white hair was the
first to reach the President, and on
his shoulder the little girl he carried
received a warm salutation.
Organist W. J. Gomph started OH a
sonata, low at first, and swelling grad
ually to more majestic proportions
until the whole auditorium was filed
with the melodious tones of the big
pipe organ.
The crowd had been pouring
through hardly more than five min
utes when the organist brought from
his powerful instrument its most roar
ing notes, drowning even the scuffie
of feet.
Fully half of the people who passed
the President were women and chill
dren. To every child the President

bent over, shook hands warmly and
said some kind words, so as to make
the young heart glad. As each per-
son passed he or she was viewed crit
ically by the secret service men,
! Hands We're watched, faces and ac-
lions noted.
A SUPPOSED ACCOMPLISH.
Far down the aisle man of unus-
ual aspect appeared taking his turn
in the line. He was short, heavy,
dark, and between a heavy dark mus
tache was pair of straight bloodless
| lips. Under the black brows cleaned
pair of glistening black eyes.
He was picked at once as suspi-
cious person and when he reached
Foster the secret service man held a
hand on him until he had gotten to
the President and had clasped the
Chief Executives hand. Ireland was
equally alert and the slightest move
on the part of this man, who is now
supposed to have been an accomplish,
and for whom a search is being made,
would have been checked by the Of
ficers.
THE ASsAILANT ENTERS.
Immediately following this man was
the Presidents assailant. He was
rather tall, boyish-looking fellow, APP
parently 25 years old, and of German
American extraction. His smooth,
rather pointed face would not indi-
cate his purpose in Staying the ma
TONS Executive.
The secret service men noted that
about his right hand was wrapped
handkerchief. As he CARED the hand
unified, as if supported by sling
under his coat, the officers believed
his hand was injured, and especially
as he extended his left hand across
the right so as to shake hands with
the President. 1t was noticed that
the person who was in front of the
assassin held back, apparently to
shield the young man, so it was nee
essary for Ireland to push him on.
The organist had now reached the
climax to the wild strains of the
sonata. A more inspiring scene could
hardly be imagined. Innocently fac
ing the assassin the President smiled
a smile of dignity and benevolence as
he extended his right hand to meet
the left of the supposedly wounded
tiend
TWO RAPID SHOTS.
AS the youth extended his left hand
he, quick as a flash, as if trained by
long practice, whipped out his right
hand-the one which held the pistol.
