THE loss which this country has sus-
tanned is calamity that has caused the
world to stand in amazement, in awe, and
in horror-a calamity so abhorrent and
great that we can only stand and await
the future to penetrate the mystery of

not understand it now. but we hope to do

reasons for this particular disaster that

A MEMENro OF GARFIELD.
Invitation to the Memorial Exercises
mt the Capitol.

In a Ninth Street window is exhibited
a card of invitation issued nearly twenty
years ago for the memorial meeting in
the House of Representatives on the oc-
casfon of the death of President Garfield
In the lower right-hand corner of this
card is engraved the bold signature OF
William Mckinley, jr.." as chairman of
the committee from the House, and in the
left-hand corner is the signature of John
Sherman" chairman of the committee
from the Senate. The card. which is
about six inches wide by ten inches long,
is surrounded by deep black border. In
the centre is an excellent portrait of Gar
field. surrounded by stands of draped
flags. On the left. in the background, is
the Capitol of the United States. and on
the right is the White House. Over the
White House is the date of the meeting,
February q. 1882" and the announce
ment that James G. Blaine, of Maine will
deliver the eulogy in the chamber of the
House of Representatives. over the Cap
itol are the dates. President March 4,
1881; died September 10. 1Ss1i aged forty
nine years.
1t is significant that all of the men
whose names are on the card have now
passed away. The last to die was Presi-
dent Mckinley.

A DAY OF MOURNING.
Grief for the Dead Chief Universal,
Says the Rev. DIR. Clark,


Memorial services were held last night
in Hamline NJ. E. Church. Rev Lucien
Clark, d. D., pastor, presided Among
those who delivered addresses Of eulogy
to the dead President were b. H. Warner
and Judge Charles Fletcher Scott of the
Police Court. The services were opened
by prayer by the Rev w D. Parry,
pastor of the Woodside Methodist Episco-
pal Church. He was followed by a rendi-
ton of Lead. Kindly Light" by the Ma
sonic quartette; composed of Douglass G..
Miller, Harry Simons. John f. Blackmar
and j. Walter Humphrey. DIR. Clark then
paid tribute to the memory of Presi-
dent Mckinley.
He said in part: This is a day of
mourning such as the nation has never
known before. Sorrow so far-reaching
has never before been experienced in the
United States. Few men this day have
not grieved for the great bereavement
which has befallen the country. one rea-
son being that the President who has been
taken away represents a type of all that
is upright and manly. The blow has
fallen upon every home and hamlet in
the broad land He has reunited the
North and the South and made us once
more one people happy and prosperous,
with no sectional differences. He rose
above party, and, although party man,
embraced in his great intellect them all.
He believed in his own church. yet en-
braced all religions. He believed in his
friends, yet was a friend 10 all men.
Il. II. Warner delivered an address full
of tributes to the character and achieve
ments of the man whom the whole nation
yesterday mourned. Washington City, he
said. owed much to William Mckinley,
who had formed many plans for the ad
vancement of the Capital
Judge Scott spoke of the early life of
the great President, whom he knew years
ago when boy. He spoke feelingly of
the mother whose counsel had done so
much to elevate the man to the highest
office in the land, and said that the Nc
Kinley family. consisting of father, moth
er, three daughters. and three sons, was
a model domestic example.
