WASHINGTON, d. c., September 10.
Twenty years after the death of Gar
field, the nations capital was again in
mourning; the wheels of government
were locked and the voices of the peo-
pele were uplilted in prayer. Every
where were badges of mourning, and
on every fiagstaff the national ensign
was at half mast. Private and public
business was absolutely suspended and
every face showed signs of sadness.
At exactly 2:30 the city ceased labor
and locomotion for five minutes. As
If by common instinct, men, women
and children, white and black, came to
a sudden halt in whatsoever they were
engaged and sat or stood as still as
statues wheresoever they CHANGED to
be. Men on foot and on bicycles, the
drivers of carriages and draft wagons,
chaffeurs and trainmen stood in mute
supplication for the dead. Street cars
throughout the city were at a stand
still and generally the car operatives
and their passengers united in silent
service which caused spectators to

of Canton. which was here during the
campaign of 1896, estimated at over Co.

The people overflowed the sidewalks

greatest crush. of course, was in East
Tuscarawas, the principal thorough
fare, and North Market street, on
which the Mckinley cottage and the
Harter residence, at which President
Roosevelt was stopping, are located.
The awe-stricken crowds upon their
arrival all moved as if by a common
impulse toward the old familiar Nc
Kinley cottage, where the remains were
lying. Military guards at the four
corners of the lawn paced their beats,

chieftains OF his party.

LESSONS TO BE LEARNED.

First in my thoughts are the lessons
to be learned from the career OF Will
liam Mckinley by the young men who
make up the students to-day OF our
university. They are not obscure nor
difficult The man who Is universally
mourned to-day was not deficient in
education; but with all you will have
of his grand career, and of his SER
vices to his country, you will not hear
that what he accomplished was due
entirely to his education. He was an
obedient and affectionate son, patriotic
and faithful as soldier, honest and
upright as citizen, tender and de-
voted as a husband, and truthful, gen.
erous. unselfsn, moral and clean in
every relation of life. There Is most
serious lesson for all of us in the trag-
edy of our late Presidents death. IL
we are to escape further attacks upon
our peace and security, we must boldly
and resolutely grapple with the mon
ster of anarchy. 1t Is not thing that
we can safely leave to be dealt with by
party or craftsmanship.

A Careful Mother.

This is a story one woman is never
tired of telling of mother whose child
had been i'll with scarlet fever. She
always emphasizes the fact, too, that
the mother was possessed, upon ordi-
nary occasions, with good sense and
would be called a more than ordinarily
intelligent woman. She was, too, a
more than ordinarily careful mother,
and it was as an illustration of this
that she told the story of the care of
her boy to the friend who now repeats
it. Not as much was known about
sanitary conditions then as now, but
it was not in time OF primitive ignO-
rance.
81 always believe in taking the great
est care to prevent contagion in any
disease" said the mother, "and with
the fever was extraordinarily care
full Why, when the skin began to
peel rubbed the child down with my
hands every day to remove every loose
fragment. let it fall into cloth, and
then l gathered it up carefully and
shook it out the window"
The listener to that story laughed
then and there, to the great surprise
and Indignation of the mother. and
laughs now at the ridiculous ignorance
of a woman who claimed to have even
a vestige of common sense.-New York
Times.
