MCKINLEY THE MARTYR.

For the third time the American peo.
pie are called to mourn the loss of their
president at the hands of an assassin.
Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley are
names which will go down for ages and
be spoken with reverence by genera
tions to come. In the death of Prcsi-
dent Mckinley the country loses one of
its greatest and grandest men. Even
his political opponents could not fail
but admire hin and his death is indeed
public calamity. He was truly typi.
cal American who has risen to the high
est goal by his own worth. Not only
America but the entire civilized world is
horror stricken. Words are inadequate
to express the deep sorrow of our peo-
Pile. The unholy act which resulted in
the death of President Mckinley has
aroused the American people as meyer
before. They demand and will see that
the demand is enforced, that anarchy
shall no longer be allowed to exist in
free America. We will no longer toler-,
ate the rantings and ratings of Most
and his followers. We have been en-
tirely too liberal with such fellows who
have no right to exist and trespass on
free American SOIL
To-day is the day set apart by procla-
nation of President Roosevelt as a day
of mourning for the loved McKinlay,
and in every village and hamlet should
be displayed the emblem of mourning
for our departed president. 1t is the
duty Of every American citizen to show
his condemnation of anarchy and love
for his president in this manner.
Mckinley has gone but his memory
will ever remain.

When anarchists meet in this country
to celebrate assassination, whether Of
our own rulers or those of another
country, they should be dealt with as
enemies of mankind, and this free
country should be too hot for them.
Such is the almost universal demand of
the people now. After the assassina-
ton Of Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley,
it is time that the nests of assassin
breeders were broken up.

have delayed their visit until now will have
the most delightful weather of the year in
which to enjoy the wonders of the Rainbow
City.
In planning your trip you will probably
want to 60 east of Buffalo, and it will be
well to keep in mind how pleasantly this
may be done over the picturesque Lack
awanna Railroad.

Lackawanna Railroad as during midsum-
mer.- At this season daylight ride over
the Lackawanna System 10 journey long

Water Gap and over the Blue Ridge ranges
the woods are radiant in their autumnal
coloring while the agricultural region Of
western New York is mellowed by the won
derfully rich tones of the fall harvest time.
Six solid vestibuled trains are run daily
between New York and Buffalo, with daily
through service between New York and Chi
cago and New York and St. Louis. Observa-
ton cars, dining cars and Pullman sleeping
cars offer every comfort for the trip A

Gods word you acknowledge: 'The

Again, religion is superior to the
crystal in its transformations. The
diamond is only capitalization. Car
cite or aragonite. Red oxide of copper
crystallizes into cubes and octahed-
rons. Those crystals which adorn our
persons and our homes and our mu-
seums have only been resurrected from
forms that were far from lustre is.
Scientists for ages have been examin-
ing these wonderful transformations.
But tell you in the Gospel of the Son
of God there is more wonderful trans
formation. Over souls by reason of
sin black as coal and hard as iron
God, by His comforting grace, stoops
and says: "They shall be mine in the
day when I make up my jewels"
.Whati' say you. "Will God wear
jewelry?" If He wanted it, He could
make the stars Of the heaven His
belt and have the evening cloud for
the sandals of His feet, but He does
not want that adornment. He will
not have that jewelry. When God
wants jewelry He comes down and
digs it out of the depths and dark
ness of sin. These souls are all crys-
tallizations Of mercy. He puts them
on, and He wears them in the pres
ence of the whole universe. He wears
them on the hand that was nailed,
