TOUCHING PRIVATE FUNERAL
AT MILBURN HOME, BUFFALO.
All Present Including the New President Greatly Affected by
Pathetic Incidcnts-Soooo People Pay Respects
to Martyred President at Buffalo City Hail.

A touching private funeral was held
at the Milburn house at Buffalo, sun
day, where the president died. II was
attended only by the family, close
personal friends, diplomatic represen-
tatives who CHANGED to be In the city,
government officials and represents
tives from the army aud navy. II was
inexpressibly sad. with few excep-
tions those present were bound to the
dead president by ties OF strong friend
ship. To them the loss was a personal
one.
About one hundred In all saw the
body. Some were so overcome with
grief at sight OF the thin countenance,
their frames shook eonyulsively. Sew
eral chung to the side Of the bier aud
with difficulty could be- persuaded to
leave. Almost every face was tear
stained. The great love for this man
choked all in the house,
Senator Hanna, who had fairly wor-
SHIPPED his dead friend for years, was a
/ picture OF despair, His face was set
like an iron-willed man who could not
let down the barrier OF bis grief. The
senator spoke TO no one. His eyes were
vacant. lie passed through the throng
and seated himself beside Governor
odell, sitting far down into his chair
and resting his head upon his hand,
During albthe service that followed he
did not stir.
President Roosevelt came at II
o'clock. lie, too, like the man deer
down In his seat against the wall who
had forgotten to rise when the presi.

When President Roosevelt reached the
head OF the line OF cabinet officers
where a place had been reserved for
1 him, he kept his face away from the

himself for "a look into the face OF him
whose death had made him the first
ruler OF the world. The tension
In the room was great, everyone
seemed to be waiting The minister

in his hand ready to begin, Perhaps II

turned and Mt the same time advanced
one step.
lie bowed his head and looked down
upon the man whose burden and re-
sponsibilities he had taken upon him
self Long he gazed, standing immoV-
able save for n twitching OF the muscles
OF the chin AS he lnbored with heavy
breath to repress his emotion. At last
he stepped back,
A signal was given and there welled
out FROM the hall the beautiful words
OF Lead, Kindly Light sung by a
quartette. II was President McKinley's
fdvorite hymn. Everyone within sound
Of the music knew II, and half OF those
In the room put their faces In their
hands to hide their tears. Comptroller
Dawes leaned against bookcase and
wept. President Roosevelt seemed to
be swaying to and fro us II his footing
were insecure.
When the singing ended the clergy
man read from the words OF the If
teenth chapter Of the First Corinthians.
All had risen as he began and remained
standing throughout the remainder Of
the service.
Again the voices rose with the words
Nearer, My God, to Thee" the very
words President Mckinley had re-
peated at intervals OF consciousness
during the day Of agony before he died.
As the music died away, Rev. Charles
Edward Locke offered a very touching
prayer. The services closed with tho
Lords prayer, all present joining In.
Mrs. Mckinley bore the strain re-
markably we'll. She was In room
adjoining that 10 which the castet lay,
surrounded by few relatives and at
tended by DIR. Rixey.
AT the close OF the services at tho
Milburn home the caslet was taken to
the Buffalo city hall, where the body
lay in state from ~ noon until mid
night, where I was viewed by SO, 900
people who '.,d through the building
In continuous stream. When IT,.
doors were finally closed there were
thousands yet In line, anxious for a
last look at the features OF the beloved
dead.

SORROW AND VENGEANCE

Threats Of Lynching Anarchists Follows
Exhibition % Profound sorrow.
The news Of the presidents demise
was everywhere received with evidence
Of profound sorrow. Al Buffalo, great
crowds thronged the streets from early
morning until late at night. and when
the conviction became settled that
death was imminent, those surround
ing the bulletin boards were In a mood
that meant no good TO the assassin.
AT suggestion from some one that
Czolgose should be lynchcd, the crowd
with common impulse started for the
jail, and In few minutes six or eight
thousand people surrounded the build
ing In which the assassin Is confined.
The chief Of police had been notified Of
the coming OF the crowd, and had all
available force out In front. As an
additional precaution, Colonel WEIGH,
commanding the Fourth brigade head
quarters, was asked to be ready to give
assistance " II were needed The
crowd was kept at n respectful distance
by the police, and In the course OF an
hour left the vicinity OF the Jail aud
moved on the various bulletin boards,
hungry for the latest news from the
sick chamber.
Al Washington, the news OF the
presidents expected death cane as n
crushing blow. Work 10 all tho dc.
partments was virtually suspended, so
absorbed were the clerks in the chiefs
condition. The heads Of departments
were generally absent, and tho two
cabinet officers In the city, Secretaries
Hay and Gage, remained apart from
the throng as much as possible When
they did appear, they were pictures Of
grief and despair.
At Chicago there we're many EXPIRE s.
sions OF deep feeling against the muir
derer, and not few were leveled at
the anarchists confined In the county
jail there and toward Emma Goldman,
who Is held In the Harrison street
police station. There were no speeches,
but the crowds were In dangerous
temper, and had any OF the anarchists,
man or woman, been turned loose,
killing would have followed as soon as
the crowd could have managed II.

President Mckinley died at 2;i5 Sat

conscious since 1850 p. m. His last
conscious hour on earth was spent with
the wife 10 whom hc devoted lifetime
OF care. lie died unattended by min

were a humble submission TO the will
Of God, In whom he believed.
lie was rcconciled 10 the cruel fate
10 which an assassin's bullet had con.
demncd him, aud faced death In the
same spirit Of calmness which has
marked his long aud honorable career.
The announcement Of the death OF
the president was made by Webb
Hayes, who said; ut Is all over"
The announcement OF the news 10
those waiting below was postponed
until the members Of tho family had
Withdrawn.
VITA the monetary excitement In
oldent upon the announcement Of the
end, the ontiio scene became ono Of
unmlatalsable sorrow aud deep mourn
ing As n nature lent its aid TO the
driving crowds, a dense fog settled
like pail over the city. The Mil.
burn house became a tomb OF silence.
The lights were dimmed, visitors
were denied admitiance, aud the
mourping fatiiiy aud their Intimate
friends were speedily left alone with
their dead.
Before o o'clock II was clear to those
at the Presidents bedside that no was
dying, and preparations were made for
the last sad Offices Of farewell from
those who were nearest and dearest TO
him. Oxygen had been administered
steadily, but with little effect In keep
ing back the approach OF death. The
president came out OF one period OF
Inconsistencies only 10 relapse into
another.
TOUCHING EVENTS.
Butin this period, when his mind was
partially clear, occurred series
Of events OF profoundly touching char
acter. Downstairs, with strained and
tear-stained faces, members OF the cab
met were grouped In anxious waiting,
They knew the end was near, aud that
the time had come whom they must
see him for the last time on earth
One by one they assembled the stair
way. There WIS only momentary
stay OF the cabinet at the threshold OF
the death chamber, Then they with
drew, tears streaming down their faces
aud words Of intense grief choking In
their throats,
HIS WIFE SAYS GOODBYE.
After they had left the sickroom the
physicians rallied him to conscious
ness, and the president asked almost
Immediately that his wife be brought
10 him. The doctors fell back into the
shadows OF the room as Mrs. Mckinley
came through the doorway. The
strong face OF the dying man was
lighted up with faint smile as their
hands we're clasped. She sat beside
him and held his hand Despite her
physical weakness she bore up brayely
under the orueal.
PRESIDENTS LAST WORDS.
The president, In his last period Of
consciousness, which ended about $40,
chanted the woads Of the hymn Near
er My God, to Thee" and his last audi
BILE words, us taken down by DR.. Mann,
at the bedside, were; Goodbye, all,
goodbye. II Is Gods way His will
be done"
Then his mind began to wander and
soon he completely lost consciousness
His life was prolonged for hours by
the administration OF oxygen, and the
president finally expressed a desire 10

The yachting as whole was Meth

and the yachtsmen We're beginning to
believe that luck was with them; by
the time the warning gun was fired for
the first race, however, hardly a breath
of air was stirring, and what little
wind they got outside the harbor came
in gusts and fits which were quite
as disappointing as no breeze at ALL
For the most part it was simply a
drifting contest, and the five hours
aboard the cramped sailing vessels
We're tiresome even to the winners.

THE YACHTS

The yachting events We're somewhat
disappointing. Coupled with a highly
unsatisfactory wind the sailing events
We're marred by several unfortunate
mishaps, which left in doubt the merit
of the respective craft. In the first
class the Mary L was the victor, after
nearly every one on the judges boat
had conceded the race to Hobron's
Gladys. In the second class there was
but one starter, the Dewey sailing over
the course alone. In the third race
the Pirate was certain winner, when
the accident TO her rudder sent her

ed the quarters. and they were ably as
sisted by George Fuller, Judge Perry and
Charles Crozier. The Myrtle dancing
lanai, which was the coolest place. was
prettily decorated with bunting club
colors and signal flags, backed by a pro-
fusion of ported ferns and plants in
which the native musicians We're embow-
cred Part of the lanai was reserved for
those who desired to be seated while
watching the races, a piece of fore
thought on the part of the entertainment
committee which was greatly appreciat-
ed.
At the noon hour the festivities were
suspended while refreshments of sand
wiches, salad, coffee ice cream and cake
We're served A raid was made on the
larder, and everything eatable vanished
in a trice, the excitement of the morning
providing sufficient desire for refresh
ments to the extent that three times as
much lunch would have been but drop
in the bucket Walter Wall got up at
o clock in the morning, and by o'clock
had fashioned several hundred sand
witches. He depIored his lack of fore
thought in not arising at a. m. and
making several hundred more.
While the excitement of tie nrst race
was being talked over with gusto the
lower porch of the Myrtle club was
crowded with argument makers. Sud
denly and without warning the flooring
gave way, and those upon it were precip-
itated to their arm-pits in the water
Nearly a dozen persons were given an
involuntary bath, and their immersion
caused any amount of levity, although
more serious consequences might have
resulted. Prof. NJ NJ. Scott was one of
the victims; but after being hauled out
he remained by his colors and saw the
end of the days events. Jim McIner-
ny, who was arrayed in a new design of
clothes, which are SAID. to be Just the
,lilhS, was one u tHe pdInerS. HIS De
draggled appearance made of him woe
begone looking individual, and Jim
went home in a hack for a change. The
dangerous opening was boarded over
temporarily, and the incident was soon
forgotten

houses will be much separated. The

present position to make room for the
march of commercial progress. They
