SILENCE
By Blue Lake Erie'S Shore.
GREAT HEART OF WILLIAM McKIN-
LEY BEATS NO MORE.
Electric Spark Which Spread the Porten-
tious Message to the World Loosed
the Pail and Burst the Heart
Strings of Sorrowing
Peoples Universal.

Milburn House, Buffalo, N. Y, Sept,
14.-William Mckinley, twentyffth
President of the United States, died
at 2;15 o'clock this morning from the
effect of an assassin's bullet.
Theodore Roosevelt, twenty sixth
President ofthe United States, succeeds
to that Office under the Constitution
and laws of the country, and, with the
administration of the oath OF Office to-
day, he will begin the exercise of the
functions of President
In these statements are embraced the
contamination Of an awful tradegy and
the historic event by which the entire
administration of government is
changed and new administration
comes into being.
But for the moment the transfer of
the government is forgotten in the
great sorrow which has fallen upon the
nation in the passing of President Nc
Kinley. Soldier, statesman, Presidnt,
devoted husband and friend, he was be-
loved by all who knew him.
HOPE LONG ABANDONED.
The death of President Mckinley
came i'll the small hours of the morning
under peculiar weirdness. For hours
he had lain unconscious, with all hope
of his survival abandoned. As early
as Q o'clock last night the doctors had
pronounced him a dying man, and
soon thereafter the rigors of approaching
death began to creep upon him. The
administration of powerful stimulants
was maintained until Z o'clock, but
with no effect. 1t was seen that the
end was near at hand, and those near
est and dearest to the President were
summoned for the Offices of the last
farewell.
LAST PARTING.
He came ont OF the stupor about :
o'clock. aud while his mind was par
tally clear there occurred the last en-
dearments, the last submission of the
sufferer to the will of the Almighty, the
last murmured expressions from his
diving lips and the last goodbyes. In
this interval of consciousness Mrs. Nc

The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1901-09-19

Kinley was brought into the death
chamber. The President had asked TO
sec her. She came and sat beside him,
held his hand aud heard from him his
last words Of encouragement and COM
fort. Then she was led away, and not
again during his living hours did she
see him.

that his hour had come and his mind
turned to his Maker. He whispered
feebly, Nearer, My God, to Thee, +"
tho words of the hymn always dear to
his heart. Then in faint words he
murmured, Good by, all F; good by.
1t is Gods way. His will be done, not
ours"
With this sublime display of Chris
tain fortitude the President soon after
lapsed into Inconsistencies.
The members of the Cabinet, grief
stricken, were gathered in the large
drawing room of the Milburn house.
The time had come when they, too,
wereto look upon the President for the
last time in life. They assembled the
stairway one after the other, noiseless-
ly approaching the threshold Of the
death chamber where the dying man
lay, and gazed within. Those who
came first turned back appalled, and
overwhelmed and did not pass within
the chamber. Secretary Wilson re-
NAMED below, unwilling to have i'm
printed on his memory the picture Of
his expiring chief. Secretary Long,
who arrived on a late train, went al
once to the chamber and passed direct
ly to the bedside of the President, grasp
ing the hand that was already clammJ
with approaching death.

New York Herald Says an American
is to Become "eIack Pope

NEW YORK, March 25.-The Herald
says: Among the possibilities sug
gested by reports from Rome is that
of an American becoming the Black
Pope" There are according to an old
saying, three Popes in Rome-the
White Pope, who sits in the chair of
St Peters; the Red Pope, who is the
Cardinal project of the propaganda,
and the Black Pope, who is the general
of the Jesuits
Cardinal Gibbons name has often
been mentioned for the first named
Office. That of Father Rudolph F.
Meyer. also an American, is now spok-
en- of in connection with the last trio.
According to the report in reference,
Leo XIII has determined to remove
Father Martin, general of the Society
of Jesus, on the grounds that the re-
cent popular demonstrations against
the order in France, Austria. Spain and
Portugal are due to mismanagement,
for which Father Martin Is held e
sponsible by his Holiness.
Members of the Society of Jesus in
this city are inclined to doubt the ac-
curacy of this report. They believe,

ces. think it probable that the Holy
Father has given him an assistant.

What Physicians
Say About
TAR0ENA FOOD.

Being sufferer from Preventative
dyspepsia, used Taroena with many
doubts as to so starchy food agreeing
with me. To my surprise, Taroena
and my stomach have always remain
ed o nthe best of terms, to my great
satisfaction and comfort. JAMES
STIMSON, NJ. D., jacksonville, Cal.
Il have had occasion to test the mer-
its of great number of prepared
foods while treating cases of seasick-
ness. I find none of them half as use
full as Taroena Food. I am thoroughly
convinced that Taroena is the most
nutritious food l have ever used. -

THE NEXT THANKSGIVING
Annual Proclamation Issued ly
 Governor Murphy.

Governor Murphy yesterday issued the following Thanksgiving proclama- ton:
 In accordance with honored prece- dent and custom. the president of tn. United States has proclaimed Thurs day, November 2S. 1901, day or thanksgiving and praise
 While our country mourns for the great American. the foremost citizen Of the world. who by divine decree. which we must not question, has been taken from us. we submit humbly to the will of God and rejoice in his love. Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth." Al though we may not understand the in scrutable ways of providence, we are taught to believe and feel that the na- ton and the people of the world since the first great crucifixion are made better and stronger by such sacrifices. and that we have all been brought nearer to God with a clearer knowledge of our responsibilities and a quicllened ability to perform the duties required of us. public and private. It is our duty to accept with contrite spirits the awful lesson. severe and uncalled for s it seems to us. and profit by it's teach ings.
 We should rejoice and be happy that the republic, resting upon the i'm perishable principles of the constitu- tion, is unshaken: and that he to whose keeping more than all others is now in- trusted the nations honor is worthy and well qualified'' with splendid cour- age and ability to direct the affairs of this. the greatest of the governments Of men. We should rejoice and giys thanks for the grand achievements which have elevated our nation to the first place and won for it the respect. and admiration of mankind. We should praise God that our legislators are aroused to the necessity of destroying anarchy and better protecting the highest liberties of the people. We should render joyful praise and gratc- full acknowledgements to the Giver of all good for unexampled national and territorial prosperity, for bountiful harvests. the great production of precious metals from our mines. for profitable grazing, the rapid develop ment of our wonderful natural re- sources, the remarkable growth of all commercial interests throughout the country, and the divine grace and favor which enable our citizens to peacefully pursue their different vacations in health and happiness.
 I therefore recommend and request the people of Arizona to suspend bus- ness and observe the day appointed In their homes and churches with appro- priate services of thankful praise for the blessings we have received and prayers for the continued care and sav- ing guidance of the allwise God-ths Supreme Ruler of the universe, in whose hands the destinies of nations and of men are as grains of sand
 In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the territory to be affixed at Phoenix, the capital, this eleventh day of No vember, in the year of our Lord nine teen hunded and one.

charter before the people came up and MT. Sanders moved that 5000 coples be printed in pamphlet form and circu- lated generally. The pamphlet will contain probably about forty pages and it was estimated that it would not cost to exceed s100. The motion was seconded by McNeill and carried.
 After it was all over there was some discussion by citizens present as to the propriety of this printing. but all finally agreed that while it was not demanded by statute, it was a good thing to do- A. s. Mills of the En- terprise contended that it had to be printed in at least one newspaper as q part of the official election notice. but he was knocked out in the first round and retired to his corner.
 The recorder was instructed to pub fish the election notice for thirty days preo ding December r.. in the Enter prisj.
 Njr. Sanders brought up the subject Of registration and after discussion it was decided to appoint four deputy registration officers. one for each ward. and that they should begin their work ten days before the close of regis tration- The mayor was authorized to appoint q man for the Third ward and each of the other councilmen to appoint an officer for their respective wards. These deputies are to receive 11a cents for each name registered. Tax Collector Luke was also appointed as a city hall deputy to assist the recorder without pay.
 Though the meeting was called last night especially to consider the charter cleo tion. this beautiful city is so pregnant with the spirit of expan- sion that new additions keep sproutine all the time and one bud was so nearly unfolded last night that 1t may be said another addition is already practically taken in.
 J. A. Kilroy was present with maps and argument. He explained that when the lower part of Montgomery's addi- ton was taken into the corporation the line of it's southern boundary chanced to fall in the middle of tier of blocks running from Center street west to Seventh avenue.
 The quarter section line of the farm immediately south of the city runs be- low this tier of half blocks, leaving q strip of ground 225 feet wide and seven blocks long. as a sort of a mo mans land, though it is all plated and some of it improved. Seven eighths of the property owners in this forsaken strip petitioned for incorporation. The matter was referred to the city at torney. who will investigate it and pre- pare the necessary annexation ordi- nance.
