STREET car TRANSFERS.
People Who Get Many Free Rides by Ex.

IF ! were an inventor" said n man who
Is In business in Brooklyn, Il would turn
my attention to devising some system OF
transfers on street car lines which could

from the start.
Ioncc read that the largest single source
Of loss Of the Metropolitan Street Railway
Company In New York was the inability
Of the conductors TO collect all the fares in
crowded cars. From my experience |
fancy that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company suffers a loss proportionately
at least as large from it's inability To prevent
the misuse of transfers.
in my store | employ three errand boys.
! pay them 81 50 n week. and j found the
other day that their incomes were on al
average at least SO week, and that without
loss To me. The trolley companies pay the
balance.
Il give each boy from 90 to IS cents a
day on an average to pay his cartare In
delivering packages TO customers. By
saving their transfers and. | suppose. doing
n little bluffing To the conductors they are
able to get over their routes with an ex-
penditure Of only 10 or IS cents for car
fare. They pocket the rest OF the money.
One of thcm even boasts that he was
able 10 ride free n whole day once. BY
mistake the conductor gave him a transfer
before he paid his fare on the first car. and
all the rest Of the day he was on velvet.

KINKS or MAINE DRYNESS.
Newspaper Owner Arrested for Adver.
Using Liquor in n Snowbank.

BANGOR, Me, Dec. l4.-Prohibition in
Maine has developed a few new freaks in
the past week. A few days ago j. p. Bass,
owner and publisher Of the Bangor Daily
Commercial, one Of the leading evening
papers of the State, Vas arrested by a
Deputy Sheriff from Biddeford on n charge
Of violating that section of the law which
! forbids the publication in this State of
advertisement or announcements Of the
liquor trade.
The complaint was made by Uriah Cain,
a railroad station agent in York county,
and one of the most radical Prohibitionist
in the State. He aftcrward declined TO
prosecute. 1t is believed hat the Civic
League il preparing to bring a similar suit
to test the right of newspapers in Maine
10 publish advertisements of liquor.
Over In Portland the enforcement craze
has reached a point at which men are held
up in the street by the liquor deputies and
parcels that they may be carrying are ex-
amiued. The other day a young man carry
ing n big pasteboard box was overhauled
in tie street by Deputy Skillings and the
box taken from him. 1t contained a gallon
Jug Of whiskcy. or of what passes in Port
land for whiskey, and this was confiscated,
while the man was arrested for illegal
Transportation of liquors.
LIQUOR is now delivered ut back doors
i'm Portland very much as milk Is left for
customers. A man who wants an eye
opener" for the morning pays the night
before for a pint or n half pint Of whiskey
and early, very early, the goods are de-
livered on his doorstep, when no Sheriifs
are looking. This method of doing bust
ness makes II impossible 10 prove a sale
against my one, and the husine of whiskey
pedling on the milkrnan plan flourishcs
amazingly.
The latest style Of blind bar" was brought
into existence by the recent big snowstorm.
A deputy sheriff walking down India
street one evening noticed a lot OF small,
round holes in a snowbank. He investi-
gated and in each hole found a half-pint
bottle full Of whiskey.
Observation at other s~nowbanks showed
TINT the new-style bars were conducted
in this manner The pedlers would buy
n gallon of whiskey and measure II out
into half pints, and then place the half
pints in a well located drift.
When a man came along who had n thirst
and money to quench II. he was let into
the scheme. The customer would pay %
cents and would then he directed TO the
snowbank and told TO take out one half
pint, being watched sharply TO see that
he did not take more.
The pruprietons Of these bars we've

the premises" where the whiskey was
kept. Snovhanks will be worth good money

RESULT OF THE AUTOPSY.
Death Caused by Gansrsns-POssibility Of the
Bullet Having Been Poisoned.

Buffalo, Sept. 1.-THE following re-
port of the autopsy upon the remains
of President Mckinley has been made
public:
"The bullet which struck over the
breastbone did not pass through the
skin and did little harm. The other
bullet passed through both walls Of
the stomach near its lower border.
Both holes were found to be perfect
ly closed by the stitches. but the
tissue around each hole had become
gangrenous. After passing through
the stomach the bullet passed into
the back walls of the abdomen, hit
ting and tearing the upper end Of the
kidney. This portion of the bullets
track was also gangrenous the gang
rene involving the pancreas. The
bullet has not yet been found. There
was no sign of peritonitis or disease
Of other organs. The heart walls
were very thin. There was no evi.
dence of any attempt at repair on the
part of nature, and death resulted
from the gangrene which affected the
stomach around the bullet wounds,
as well as the tissues around the fur
ther course of the bullet. Death was
unavoidable by any surgical or med
ical treatment, and was the direct re-
suit Of the bullet wound"

DAY OF MOURNING.
Governor Gesrs Proclamation to Oregon
PeOpIs-Tribute to Dead President.

Governor Gesrs Proclamation to Oregon
PeOpIs-Tribute to Dead President.
Salem, Or, Sept. 17.-Governor Geer
has issued the following proclama-
tion:
ITO the People of Oregon-For the
third time within the history of the
United States its people are in mourn
ing over the death Of their President
by means of an assassin's bullet
During an era of profound peace,
when our people are in the enjoyment
OF an era of unexampled prosperity.
and while mingling freely with all
classes of the people whose interests
ne had labored impartially to pro-
mote, the hand of the treacherous as
sassin, which was extended in pro-
fessed friendship, committed one of
the foulest deeds that will ever dark
en- the pages of the worlds history.
Our beloved President, William Nc
kinley, is dead, and in this hour of
National affiiction the grief which
overspreads the entire Nation is
shared by the people of Oregon, with
bowed heads and sorrowing hearts.
"The mortal remains of Pesident
Mckinley will be laid to rest at Can
ton, o., on Thursday, September 10.
and in respect to his memory, rec
ommend that on that day all public
and private business be suspended.
as far as possible, that flags be placed
at half-mast, that the people meet in
their respective places of public wor.
ship to ask for that National con.
ISOLATION which can only come from
Almighty God. and that at the hour
of the funeral all church bells through
out the state be toiled as an express
sion of the grief which weighs upon
our hearts as we pass through this
shadow of National bereavement.
'By the Governor, T. T. GEER.

In the Death Chamber.

From authoritative officials the fol-
lowing details of the final scenes In
and about the death chamber were Sc
cured:
The President had continued in an
unconscious state since $3.50 p. m.
DR.. Rixey remained with him at all
times and until death came. The
other doctors were in the room at
times, and then repaired to the front
room, where their consultation had
been held. About 2 o'clock DR.. Rixey
noted the unmistakable signs of dis
solution. and the immediate members
of the family were summoned to the
bedside. Mrs. Mckinley was asleep
and it was desirable not to awaken
her for the last moments Of anguish.
Silently and sadly the members of
the family stole into the room. They
stood about the foot and sides of the
bed where the great mans life was
ebbing away. Those in the circle
were:

Buffalo, Sept 16.-Theodore Roose.
welt, who today was tragically elevated
to the Chief Magistracy of the Ameri-
can Republic by the death of President
Mckinley, entered this city of mourn
Ing yesterday afternoon. after a re-
markable and perilous journey from
the heart of the north woods.
He had been President under the
Constitution and law Of the land, since
the minute the martyred President
ceased to live. All the duties and pow
ers of the Office had devolyed upon
him. but he was as powerless as the
humblest citizen to exercise one OF
them until he had complied with the
constitutional provision requiring him
to take prescribed oath to support
and defend the Constitution and laws
Of the United States.
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1901-09-20

He took the oath at 3: 80 o'clock Sat
urday afternoon in the library of the
ridence of Ansley Wilcox, personal
friend with whom he stayed earlier In
the week when the physicians thought
President Mckinley would recover
from the wound inflicted by the as
sassin.
There were present when he swore
to th oath: Secretaries Root, Hitch
cock, Long. Wilson and Postmaster
General Smith, Senator G. M. Depew,
of New York, Judge of the Court of
Appeals Haight, John H. Scattered,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ansley Wilcox, Miss Will
cox, George P. Sawyer, Drs. Mann,
Parke and Stockton, Mr.. and Mrs.
Carlton Sprague, Mr.. and Mrs. John
G. Mllburn, the secretary to the Presi-
dent, William Loeb, Jr.; the secretary
to the deceased President, George r.
Cortleyou, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Carry,
G. R. Scattered, J. D. Sawyer and Will
liam Jeffers, official telegrapher, in ad-
ditlon to Judge John r. Hazel, of the
United States District Court, who ad-
ministered the oath.
The scene was most affecting one.
The new President had Just come from
Milburn house, where his predecessor
lay cold in death. Overcome by the
deep personal sorrow he felt, in his
characteristically impulsive way he
had gone first to the house of mourn
ing to offer his coincidence and SYM
pathy to the broken hearted widow.
Secretary Root. who 20 years ago had
been present at similar scene when
Arthur took the oath after the death
OF another President who fell a victim
to an assassin's bullet, almost broke
down when he requested Mr.. Roosevelt
on behalf of the members of the Cabi-
net of the late President, to take the
prescribed oath. There was not dry
eye In the room.
The new President was vlsibly sAak-
en-, but he controlled himself, and
when he lifted his hand to swear 1t
was as steady as though carved in
marble. With the deep solemnity OF
the occasion he announced to those
present that his aim would be to be
William McKinley's successor In deed
as we'll as in name. Deliberately he
proclaimed It in these words:
'In this hour of deep and terrible
National bereavement wish to state
that Il shall be my aim TO continue alb
solutely without variance the policy
of President Mckinley for the peace
and prosperity and honor Of our below
ed country"

When the End Came.

1t was now 2:05 o'clock, and the
minutes were slipping away. Only the
sobs of those in the circle about the
Presidents bedside broke the awe-like
silence. Five minutes passed, then
six, seven, eight-now DIR. Rixey bent
forward, and then one of his hands
was raised as If in warning. The fiut-
tering heart was just going to rest.
A moment more and DR.. Rixey
Strengthened up and, with a choking
voice, said:
"The President is dead"
Secretary Cortelyou was the first to
turn from the stricken circle. He step
ped from the chamber to the outer
hall and then down the stairway to
the large room where the members of
the Cabinet, Senators and distinguish
ed officials were assembled.
As his tense white face appeared at
the doorway hush fell upon the
assemblage.
Gentlemen, the President has pass.
ed away" he said:
For moment not a word came In
reply. Even though the end had been
expected, the actual announcement
that Mr.. Mckinley was dead fairly
stunned these men who had been his
closest confdants and advisers.

to overfiowing with agents of the
secret service. A search is being
made of every sewer that underlies
the city, for it is known that in one
of them is a package of papers con-
tanning details of the conspiracy and
the names Of those concerned with
Czolgosz in the plot, together with an
outline of its ramiflcations.
In his confession Czolgosz told OF
his attempt to destroy the written
evidence of the conspiracy. He said
that they did not permit him to burn
the papers as he had desired. Before
leaving his room in Nowak's hotel he
gathered together all of his papers,
taking them from his pockets, and
from his valise, and from the draw
ers of his table. All were bound to-
gether in one package, which he con-
cealed beneath his coat. Czolgosz
says that he made circuitous and
aimless trip about the city, and that
at some point, which he cannot now
describe, he came upon an open
sewer Into this sewer he cast his
papers. Inch by inch the sewers of
this city are being searched, and If
such thing is possible, those papers
will be recovered.
On authoritative information 1t can
be said that during the last ten
weeks Emma Goldman has visited six
anarchist organizations. She has been
in Buffalo three times since July II,
having left the city the last time four
days before the attempted assassina-
tion. Emma Goldman, Czolgosz, Abra-
ham Isaak and Marie Isaak were in
consultation in Chicago on two occas-
ions, Marie Isaak accompanied
Emma Goldman to Buffalo the last
time the arch leader of the anarchists
was here.
Leon Czolgosz was accompanied to
Buffalo and about the city by mys-
terious Bohemian man and woman
who acted SO suspiciously as to war
rant the assumption that they knew
Of the intention of CZolgosz to assas-
sinate the President.

Milburn House. Buffalo, Sept. A.
President Mckinley died at 2:15 a. m.
He had been unconscious most of the
time since 1850 D. m. His last con-
scious hour on earth was spent with
the wife to whom he devoted a life
time 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 be-
lieved. He was reconciled to the cruel
fate to which an assassins bullet had
condemned him and faced death In the
same spirit OF calmness which has
marked his long and honorable career.
His last conscious words, reduced
to writing by DR.. Mann, who stood at
his bedside when they were uttered,
were: Goodbye all, goodbye. 1t is
Gods way. His will be DONE"

The Funeral Train.

Buffalo, Sept. 1.-THE train that
carried the late PRESIDENTS body to
the National Capital was a solid Pull
man Of seven cars, drawn by two en-
gines. An extra engine went is min.
utes ahead to clear the track of ev-
erything. The casket was placed be-
tween open windows on the observa~
tion car, where it was in plain view OF
the people as the train passed by.
The casket of the dead President
was completely covered with beau
tiful silk flag. At the head was a
floral piece representing the French
and American colors, the gift Of a
Franco-American society. Standing at
the foot Of the casket was soldier
of the United States Army, uniformed
and accoutred with a gun at order
arms" At the head sailor of the
Navy stood at attention" cutlass at
shoulder. The lid of the easket was
closed.

By 10 o'clock the pulse could no
longer be felt in his extremities, and
they grew cold.
Below stairs the grief-stricken gath.
ering waited sadly for the end.
All the evening, those who had has
tened here, as fast as steel and steam
could carry them, continued to arrive.
They drove up in carriages at a gal
lop, or were whisked up in automo-
biles, all intent upon getting here be-
fore death came. One Of the last to
arrive was Attorney-Ge General Knox,
who reached the house at $50. He
was permitted to go upstairs, to look
for the last time upon the face of his
chief,
