Historic Bier In Use.
The historic bier which did service
in the rotunda of the capitol in conncc-
tion with the funerals of Presidents
Lincoln and Garfield was brought from
Its resting place In the capitol crypt,
and half dozen expert drapers were
soon engaged in shrouding it in Grape.
The bier rests upon platform raised
about six inches above the level Of the
floor of the building and is surmounted
by canopy, covered with black cloth.
, The top of the bier is three feet above
the surface Of the floor, and when the
casket is plnced upon it the top will
be slightly below the level Of the av-
erage PERSONS face. At the conclu-
sion OF the funeral services the public
will be admitted for brief farewell
glance at the features which for so
many years have been familiar to the
ltoluCIltS VI tuc oupllul Nllys
The head Is placed toward the west,
so as to turn the face toward the pro-
ccssion MS it enters from the east.door.
As the body will lie in state at this
place for only part of one day, there
will be an effort to expedite the funcr.
nj ceremony, SO as to give as many as
possible an opportunity to see the pres.
ident's face.
There will be seats in the r0tunda for
about 800 persons. These will be occu-
pied by those bearing tickets of admis-
sion and will include the presidents
immediate family, members Of the cab
met, members of the diplomatic corps,
members of the supreme court, the
press and other persons whose position
entitle them to special recognition. 1t
Is not expected that there will be
large attendance Of members of con-
grcss or that the supreme court will bo
represented fully.
1t is not expected that any part of the
capitol building will be brought into
use except the rotunda, but the rooms
occupied by the sergeant at arms Of the
senate. the marble room, the prcsi-
dents room the vice presidents room
and the room occupied by the commit
tee on District of Columbia will be held
at the disposal Of those In charge OF
the ceremonies in case they should be
needed for the accommodation of any
Of the guests of the occasion.

YOUNG DEMOCRATS SYMPATHY
Well Known Local Club Adopts Reso
lutions on Presidents Death.

| The following resolutions on the death
| Of President Mckinley were adopted last
night by the Young Mems Democratic
Club
The American people for the third time
| in n generation are called upon to mourn
| the death of chief executive. Political
or factionu turmoils have heretofore
been coincidcnt with the assassination
of our Presidents but no excitement OF
any character could not furnish rea-
son for unhinging the weakest intellect
and we must regard the assassination
of William Mckinley, which has brought
deepest sorrow to all true patriotic
Americans. as simply an assault upon
our President whose personal virtues,
traits and disposition could never have
aroused deep aninosity and as an at
tack upon our form Of government.
Believing this there can be no division
Of sentiment among our people. Grief is
universal and to testify our respect TO
the memory of our deceased President it
is
Resolved, That this clubhouse shall
unite after the last sad tributes of re-
spect are paid to the mortal remains OF
our murdered Chief Executive. be draprd
in mourning and that this club as an
organization, participate in such memoir
ial exercises as shall be arranged by tho
people Of this city or such organizations
AS shall desire to take part therein.
Resolved, That in testimony Of our re-
spect for the memory and conspicuous
virtues and ability Of our deceased Presi-
dent these resolutions shall be spread
upon our minutes and n copy of them be
given to tn" press Of the city.

CEREMONIES AT BUFFALO.
Departure of Funeral Train From
Exposition City.

Departure of Funeral Train From
| Exposition City.
Buffalo, Sept. 16.-Tlc silent form of
! William Mckinley was borne from this
city in impressive state and taken on
its last journey to the national capital.
! just eleven days ago he came to the
Pan-American exposition in full health
and vigor. lie was received with an
enthusiasm that was unprecedented In
the annals Of the city and for twenty
four hours enjoyed himself thoroughly
The story of the foulcst of assassina
atoms, the pathetic stride to recovery,
as outwardly demonstrated while death
was slowly working on the vtals, the
breathless hopes Of a nation and loved
ones, the terrible twenty-fOur hours
! suspense when death made its final de-
mand against human skill--all are mat
ters of history now. The body of the
honorcd chief executive Of the nation,
who came to Buffalo only a few days
ago as the guest of the city, was borne
away in sad splendor, his career ended
so far as his dominant personality is
concerned, although his policies will
remain. Thousands upon thousands
watched the impressive procession
moving toward the depot. 1t was dou-
bly, impressive because of its lack of
gorgeousness and because of the fact
that, following closely behind the pail
covered corpse of the dead president,
came the successor to the title and the
living change in the country's history.
At the Milburn mansion, where the
family Of the dead statesman slept; at
the Wilcox mansion, where the new
president reposed, and down town,
near the city hall, where the silent
form of the dead president lay. the
guards were formed early and the
streets kept clear Of people.
In view Of Mrs. McKinley's condition
1t was decided that the family and
friends should go direct to the railroad
station from the Milburn house.
A Pathetic Procession.
In the pathetic procession as it pass
ed from the porch to the carriages Mrs.
William Mckinley, robcd in garbs of
mourning and supported by Abner Nc
kinley on one side and DR.. Rxey on
the other, was the central figure. 10
the surprise Of all who expected to see
hating esitating woman, she walk
ed briskly with her head quite erect.
Her long black veil was down, SO that
her face could not be seen. She got
into the carriuge with her favorite
niece, Miss Barber, Abner Mckinley
and Dr.. Rixey, and they were driven
at once to the depot. So far as could
be seen she sat erect In the carriage,
and Miss Barber's arm did not support
her.
The family of .Abner Mckinley, 9th
Secretary Cor,elyou followed in other
carriages. and the Milburn house, ia
nous now because Of its precious pa"
tient Of week and its sacred dead of
two days. went back into the posses.
sion Of Its owner, who had 70 kindly
given 1t up to the use of the president
and his family.
The street corners near the house,
which for a week had been crowded
with newspaper men. telegraphic
booths and waiting carriages, resumed
their wonted appearance. The soldier
guard was Kithdra W. ths pQllcs ~. |

Received Another Ring,

Chief of Police Massey received by
mail yesterday the other ring that was
stolen from Miss Annie McNulty. lie
received one Of the rings last Thursday
Chief Massey will give the ring to Miss
McNulty today and she will doubtless
withdraw the charge Of larceny against
William II. McDade, who is awaiting
trial at the present term of court, as
now that the rings have been recovered
Miss MrNulty does net care to prosecute
McDade.

Crittenden press. [volume] (Marion, Ky.) 1879-1907, 1901-04-25

1t appears that we are not going
to secure visit Of that famous
good roads train of the |. G. The
projectors seem disposed to 90 to
the big cities and more pretenti-
Gus places, where wealth and a
few inconsiderable conveniences
of modern civilization do most con
gregate. That's all we'll enough,
but we would like to call their
attention to the fact that its the
provincial population that needs
better roads, that its through the
country these roads must run, if
they accomplish the purpose
whereunto they are discussed; and
furthermore, its the country that
must pay the bills. In fact, the
country is the whole thing in this
matter, and the train can do more
good by constructing these sam
piles of road in the country, where
the people the most interested can
see for themselves and judge for
themselves. A good sample will
be worth more than magazine arti-
Giles, and a great deal more than
second hand information of any
kind.
We understand full well that
there are too many small places to
meet all the demands, but one or
two good ones need not tax the
train beyond previous arrange
ments, and this section; in which
mining promises to be permanent,
and wagons feature in mining,
offers a good field for expert
ment.
