McXINLEY'S MEMORIAL SERVICES.
One of The Largest Gatherings. in the Hister,
of the Rapids.

In almost every hamlet in the
United States business was suspended
on Thursday last and the day was
devoted by patriotic citizens to com.
memorating the deeds of one of ouI
most highly honored citizens. The
railroads throughout the lands stopped
all trains for five minuteS-from 2:3C
to 2:35-and nearly every home and
business house displayed some emblem
Of mourning to show their respect fol-
the dead. Never, perhaps, in the
history of the country has such a
general exhibition of sorrow over the
loss of leader and president been
manifested Party lines were forgot
ten and for the time the late VIM
Mckinley was regarded as every mans
president, whose loss he looked upon
almost as personal bereavement.
Such a view of the matter is COM
plimentary to the citizenship of this
republic, and shows that however
much we may differ politically or
theoretically we are nevertheless all
good American citizens who regard
this government as our government
and The president as our president,
whether or not by our votes we helped
to elect him.
In Grand Rapids the above char
acterization of the proceedings
especially applies, and despite the
rainy weather larger crowd
probably never assembled in the Opera
House than gathered there in the
afternoon The hall and stage were
taStefully decorated with black and
white crepe, with the national colors
and a large portrait of the familiar
and kindly features of the president a
prominent feature of the stage set
tings. Members of the G. A. r. post
and those on the program occupied
seats on the stage. Preceding the
assembly IN the hall the band and
members of the civic societies of the
town had formed a procession, start
ing at the library building and march
ing to the Dixon House corner on the
west side and returning to the Opera
House. Besides the band boys there
were over 200 society men lined up
in the following order: The Star
Band; Escort-MaSons, Odd Fellows,
Catholic Knights, Knights of Pythias,
Modern Woodmen of America. Wood
men of the World. Post of Hon Or
Grand Army of the Republic.
Without going into detailed COM
ments upon the efforts of each speaker
upon this occasion. we wish to say tha
each mans remarks were so happily
worded and uttered as to maintain for
over two hours the close attention of
this vast audience, and their handling
of the different topics assigned them
on the varied life of the president was
such as to excite the admiration and
hearty approval of their hearers.
The music was appropriate and excel
lent and the vocal solo by Miss Reeves
"a bide With Me" called forth many
words of approval from her auditors.

SHALL WE CELEBRATE?
The Completion of the Northwestern Line on
0c... 18th Good Cause for Such Action.

1t has been suggested that the
business men of Grand Rapids would
never have better opportunity to
become acquainted with their neigh.
borS along the line of the Northwest
ern road east of this place, than by
making great event of the compile
tiOn of the line which will occur on or
about October Is.
Between Grand Rapids and Fond
du Lac, along the line of this road, is
no large town where anything outside
Of ordinary shops and country stores
can be bought. If the people in the
small towns and rural districts knew
that Grand Rapids is a city where
great stocks of merchandise, mechani-
cal goods of all kinds, building
material and provisions could be had
in wholesale or retail quantities, it is
probable that we would share with
Fond du Lac and Stevens Point the
trade of that district. Therefore,
the merchants and business men of
this city are interested in advertising
to the people along the route our ad-
vantageS in this respect, and it is
thought the best means of advertising
the town and it's trade facilities would
be to bring as many of the people as
possible here and entertain them at a
celebration of the event of the road S
completion on the 18th of October
To make success of such an under
taking the people of the whole city
would have to unite in the effort and
have committees appointed to look
after every feature of the celebration:
program of sports would have to be
organized, so the visitors would be
entertained as we'll as made acquainted
with our resources. The Northwest
ern road would undoubtedly furnish
Us with an excursion train and give us
a very low rate for round trip tickets
to Grand Rapids from every town
along the route.
1t would seem as if the best way to
organize such an undertaking would
be to have a mass meeting of the
citizens and adopt whatever plans
were deemed advisable and have COM
mitteeS appointed to carry them out
at once. The Business Mems associa-
tion of the city seems to be the proper
organization to lead this movement,
but we have been requested by a
number of citizens to call the people S
attention to the subject and person
ally we heartily endorse the scheme.

BUSINESS IF THE
 COUNTRY IS GOOD Week Reviews by Dun and Bradstreet Agencies EFFECT OF STEEL STRIKE Has Not Been as Oppressive as Ex- peeted-New Features Are Very
 Scarce In the Steel and
 Iron Trade.
EFFECT OF STEEL STRIKE

New York. August 9.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Despite some irregularity due to the re- currenee of corn damage reports from the Eastern surplus-producing States and the formal launching of the much heralded general steel workers strike, the aggregate business the country over seems to be good and in most sections unprecedented in volume for this season of the year. Changes where noted for the week have been rather of tone than of actual demand, and 1t is in this mat ter of tone or sentiment that the favor able developments have arisen. All avail able measures of supply, demand and movement point to the business done in July having exceeded that transacted in any similar midsummer month. This, too, despite the exceptionally hot weather, drouth, strike talk and similar conditions unfavorable to business exten- sior.
 Cereal prices have been rather irregu- lar. but the main tendency has been up- ward, partly because of renewed crop
  ing already begun to be sighted by ner- vous crop estimaters The main strength of wheat, however, lies in the continued heavy export business. The clearances this week were enormous and far In ex- cess of any previous week on record. There was rather a smaller volume of receipts of winter wheat. Hog products weakened early In the week in sympathy with the corn market, but steadied later, without, however, regaining the early loss. The worlds statistical posi- tion of lard is a very strong one
 New features are scarce in the iron and steel trade. The strike is still the great central figure, around which revolve high premium prices for plates, bars and sheets and tin plates Black sheets will be Imported and timed here Structural material, not affected as yet by the strike, Is in very heavy demand, and producers are being hard pressed to meet orders.
 The textile market shows little change on the week. Cotton goods have been firmly held despite the quiet and even dull condition of business at first hands. The eastern jobbing business in prints, ginghams and cotton goods generally

Albert Lauppe in Philadelphia Times. The fortunes of millionaires are almost always overrated. Senator Scott of Erie was said to be worth ,OOO, but at his death it was $6,O00000 The Harmony So- ciety of near Pittsburg, Pa, was said to be worth $35. 900, ,000 but at the death of It's leader it was found to be worth only $780, 900. Havemeyer, the sugar refiner Of New York, was said to worth $1o,0O0,00O, but left s4,000, GOO
 The most overrated man of all was Bar ney Barnato the South Africa diamond mine owner. At his death it was reported far and wide that he was worth from $100, 000,000 to s500 COG 600, but at the settle nient of the estate 1t was not quite $5,000- o00.s Senator Brice was said to be worth SIC, ,000, 900, but left $500, 900. James Young of Middletown, Pa, was said to be mil 1ionaire. but at his death it was found to be $250,00O. John Blair of Blairstown, N. Y. who died in 1899, aged 97, was said to be worth $50, OO0,000 but 1t is now believed that he was worth $S,00,O00. Allen Rorke. the Philadelphia contractor, was believed to be a millionaire, but 1t now turns out to be only 1852. .56. Pierre Lorillard of the tobacco trust was said to be worth $100. GOO, 900, but his estate Is now estimated at $4.000,000. Robert Bonner of the New York Ledger was said to have $6,0000 900, but af- ter death 1t was S00,000.
 w. h. vanderbilt, Jay GOulu, V. r. Huntington and Philip Armour were ex- captions Vanderbilt died in 1885. and left an estate of $1S0000,0O0. Jay Gould died In 1892, worth s72,0O0,0 900. c. P. Huntington died in 1900 and left $50. .000 Philip Ar mour died in 1901 worth $2S,OO0,00O. These amounts were what they were believed to be worth before death.
 The number of millionaires in the United States is supposed to be 3S2S-one to every 20,00o persons They are worth combined about s16. .000. .O0c 900. out of a total real es- tate and personal property wealth of sS1,- 750. 900. 900. at which our entire property is fairly valued. The most of these million aires were born poor. The Vanderbilt fam fly, with combined wealth of over s30O,- 00o,000, Is richer than the entire 5000, 900 negro population of the United States. The negro population pay tax on $275, 600 of real estate.

DUN's REVIEW.

New York, August 9.-R. G. Dun's weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 There Is no complaint from any part of the country over the volume of cur rent distribution of merchandise, and what hesitation is observed in general trade is chiefly due to the uncertainty as to the duration of the labor troubles in the steel manufacture Collections con- tinue good. better weather having helped the agricultural classes; money is easier. and stocks of merchandise carried are not above the average for this season of the year. particularly in the west and South west

 has been of good volume. though small CT than expected, possibly because of crop and strike talk. Print cloths are easier though not quotably lower owing to the formal dissolution of the selling committee plan at Fall River. Talk Of wage reduction Is again heard, but there is still an unwillingness to strike at the real cause of trouble-that of overpro- duction of certain kinds of print cloths. due to changes in style and fashion. Re- cent orders of mems wear, fall weight, have given the mills plenty of occupation, and as manufacturers are meeting the lower price for spring weights set by the principal interests, good volume of business is being done in those goods. Women's wear goods, particularly the plainer sorts, have been liberally ordered. Wool is firm and manufacturers are steady buyers.
