DRY of President Mckinley. Memorial
services were held in all parts of the
city during the day and night. AT
the Coliseum, where tie principal Sex

applied for admission 6that an over
zdow meeting, was arranged at Tatte4-'
sails. In the afternoon the services
were for school children and all the
speakers endeavored to impress upon
the young people the significance of
the assassination of the president and
Che conditions that actuated the as

like these, at least after they be-

rot evade the sense of justice which
is universal nor the traditions of civil

assembly of wild beasts dancing in
drunken carousal about the ashes of
some negro malefactor, is not con-

standing challenge of atheism against
the peace and order of society, it
could not, now that Gladstone is ono
