AN EYE ON BUSINESS

While mourning for the late presi-
dent, the northern papers keep a sharp
lookout on the markets and finance.
EV, the closing of the exchanges re-
Gently was a precautionary measure
as we'll as one of respect for the dead.
We now learn from special to The
World, from Buffalo, that ga physi-
clan of high standing who has been IN
rimateiy associated with all the de-
velopments at the MilIburn house since
the late president was shot, made a
somewhat startling statement tonight.
He said he knew it to be a fact that
one of the leading physicians in the
corps of attendants upon Mr.. McKin.
ley had deliberately caused uuduIy
hopeful statements to be made to the
public before the collapse which pre-.
ceded death.
The Worlds informant, whose name
for obvious reasons cannot be dis
closed, sad; ST have reason to believe
it was great New York fnanciel
whose interests are probably more
widespread and important than any
other man in the financial world who
recommended the doctor I refer to.
"He more than any one else was re.
sponsible for the misleading statements
regarding the presidents condition.
CHS course in making optimistic an
nouncements, experimenting the very
hopeful bulletins issued, was to give
time to steady the markets. "-Augusts
Chronicle.

MCKINLEY'S LAST SPEECH.

The last speech of VIM. Mckinley
was made at the Buffalo Exposition,
Sept.5, the day before he was shot. 1t
closed with these words-a prayer for
peace and good will on earth:
The good work will go on. 1t can
not be stopped. These buildings will
disappear; this creation of art and in
dustry will perish from sight, but their
influence will remain to
Make it live beyond it's too short living
With praises and thanksgiving.
Who can tell the new thoughts that
have been awakend. the ambitions fired
and the high achievements that will be
wrought through this exposition? Gen
tlemen, let us ever remember that our
interest is in concord, not conflict, and
that our real eminence rests in the
victories of peace, not those of war.
We hope that all who are represented
here may be moved to higher and
nobIer effort for their own and the
worlds good, and that out of this city
may come, not only greater commerce
and trade for us ali, but more essential
than these, relations of mutual respect,
confidence and friendship which will
deepen and endure.
Cur earnest prayer is that God will
graciOusly Touchsafe prosperity, happi-
mess and peace to all our neighbors
and like blessings to all the peoples
and powers of earth.

ATTEMPT TO KILL JACKSON

An attemp 80 assassinate Andrew
Jackson was made Jan 80, 1885, which
was near the close of his second term
as President. His assailant was Rich
ard Lawrence, crazy man, whose in
sanity had existed for more than two
years prevlou'y.
q President Jackson had visited the
CAPITOL to attend a congressional fun
eral. As he was crossing the portico
to leave the building Lawrence en-
erged from behind a column and, with
in two and half yards of the Presi-
dent, fred at him point blank. For
some reason the powder failed to ignite
and he snapped another pistol, with the
same result. Secretaryof the Treasury
Woodbury. and one or two other per-
sons were in the Presidents company,
and John Tyler, then United States
Senator from Virginia and afterward
Vice President and President, was
near the scene.
AS Jackson saw the man fire ct him
he sprang from the side of his compan-
ions, raising his cane, and started for
the would-be assassin. He was seized
by the arm, but he exclaimed: "Let
me go, gentlemenl / am not afraid!
They can't kill me! I can protect my
self!'' This is the current report of
his words, but Mr.. Tyler lntimates that
his language was much more pictur-
esque and violent.
As in the case of the man who fired
pistol at Mr.. Mckinley, an officer
Rocked Lawrence down and he was
then secured. His pistols were after
ward examined and were found to be
loaded with slugs almost to the muzzle.
Gaps from the same box that Lawrence
had used were placed on both pistols
and they exploded with terrible force.
One of them sent shot through an
inch board. The greatest surprise was
expressed that the President was not
killed.

President Roosevelt and his family
