which gave him to the world and MS

city whose residents called the Illus
trious dead their townsman. Wednes-
day they looked on him for the last
time.
And then ended all pomp and cere-

put away the inanimate clay and her
last sad cry of farewell re-echoes from
the hearts of a stricken nation gain
cred in memorial meetings wherever
flies the flag so loved and so honoreu
by William Mckinley.
Funeral Services Are Sim pie.
AS befitted the occasion and the
character of the man whose remains
were lying cold and rigid in the mar
row embrace of the metallic casKet'
the funeral services in the Capitol
were simple. They were conducted IN
accordance with the rites of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, OF which Pres
ident Mckinley was lifelong mem-
Der. Consisting only of two hymns,
song, prayer, an address, and pen
ediction. they were solemnly impress
sive. Special prominence was given to
the beautiful hymn, Nearer, MY co.,

that it has been familiar property for
many long years, already has come 10
he known as president McKlnley's
hymn" 1t was played as the casket
left the White House, and again as the
stalwart soldiers and sailors carried
their precious burden up the broad
eastern steps of the Capitol. 1t was
sung by the choir over the body III the
center of the rotunda, while as the
procession passed the Presidents
church the chime of the bells rang out
the same sweet melody.
Great Men of Country Mourn.
Gathered around the bier were rep
resentatives of every phase OF Ameri-
can national life, including the Presi-
dent and the only surviving ex-Presi-
dent of the United States, together
with representatives at this capital of
almost every nation of the earth. Great
Britain, France, Germany Italy, and
Spain, and all the republics to the
southwark OF the United States min
gled their tears with those of the
American people. Despite the fact
that no attempt had been made to dec
crate the interior of the rotunda be-
yond the arrangements made about the
catafalque, the assemblage presented
memorable sight. The somber black
of the attire of hundreds of civilians
present was splashed brilliantly with
the color and gold of the representa-
tives of the army and the navy and
the court costumes of the diplomatic
corps

| aux.liaries to the association the men,
bers whereof pledged an annual payment
of one dollar for a period Of ten years.
So general was the interest in this en-
: terprise that we find these branches
! tourishing in many of the Northern
States, from Halifax, Nova Scotia. to
Santa Barbara, California. And in the
report of total contributions for the first
ten years we find our own little Honolulu
auxiliary not the least contributor of the
seventy-seven societies that have stood
faithfully by the association. I know OF
no more fascinating and inspiring read
ing than the reports Of the annual meet
ings held in Boston. These contain the
addresses of the presiding officer the re-
ports Of the executive committee, de-
lightful letters from Ramabai and letters
from some of her rescued girls. Let me
CLEAN from them a few facts that may
help US to realize what has been under
taken and what attained by a heroine OF
whom Professor Max Muller said he
knew none greater.
When Ramabai returned to India she
very soon opened q WIDOWS Home in
Bombay, over whose portal she placed
the legend, "Sharada Sadan" (Abode of
Wisdom). Two pupils entered. Three
times had one of them attempted to end
her misery by suicide, and only the fear
of being again born a woman ha dstayed
her purpose. As POona was a healthier
city than Bombay and living was cheap
er there. the school was removed thither
and established in a commodious bunga-
low.

mabai has sought to make this retreat
most charming In its surroundings. Shad-
Ing trees, fragrant flowers, brilliant
shrubs, ferns and fountain lend their
beauty for the uplifting of the suffering
sisters" AS she shows her visitors about
the home she says: This Is not an in
stitution in which all the best rooms are
reserved for the teaching stan. My pu-
pills are free to come and go. The Sadan
with all its privileges has been instituted
for their benefit. They come from homes
where they have been treated as outcasts
where no love has been bestowed upon
them, and comforts provided for
them. 1 wish them to see the contrast
"a all things where love rules" That
We. too, may 'See the contrast" let us
glance at scenes through which they had
passed before coming to the Sharada
Sadan. They have been stripped of pleas

down-trodden and ostracized? Over
these. her sisters in the great family of
humanity, Ramabai's heart yearned with
pity. and with longing to aid and uplift.
She would reconsecrate her life to serv-
ice in their behalf. We find her. then,
travelling from city to city, lecturing,
writing and translating, urging upon the
English government that they should
have women teachers for girls schools
and that provision should be made for
the study of medicine by women.
1T is such a great step" she writes,

the same voice that bade one OF old to
leave his fathers country. and she cross

and remaining with them a year, she &C
qUired the English language. and so

first and second officers came along
with the information that the ship was
on the rocks, and it would be neces-
sary to take to the boats. Then the
ladies began to appear on deck, some in
their night clothes. others partially

of nearly three years. 'Wondrous posi-
bilities'' OF what she might yet be able
to do for midas little widows rose In
vision before her, and most earnestly she
lset herself TO the task of attaining the
possible. She wrote Of her knowledge
about the terrible customs and systems
of child marriage and child widows. and
published the book, THE High-Ca ste
Hindu Woman" Journeying hither and
thither, from one state to another, she
sought the attention and enlisted the
ing room circles. Always earnest, always
sincere and humble. she aroused enthu-
siasm and secured the confidence Of those
who heard her story. I cannot better
tell her final success than by quoting the
words OF another.
AT an overfIOwing meeting held IN
Boston in Nay 1857. when the audience
was moved to tears and laughter by her
pathos and keen wit, 4 provisional com

Ramabai's plans, TO act with her and

The report was accepted. officers were
elected. the constitution was adopted.
and Ramabai saw her long cherished
plans take definite form. That night her
joy was too great for sleep; when found
in her room, she exclaimed: /

years has become a reality. The presi-

When one looks at Mr.. Harper Of the
Critic he sees a very pleasant, courteous
gentleman; but there is nothing about
his appearance that would lead you to
believe that he has undergone one of
the severest trials that it is possible
for a human being to undergo. Never
theless this is perfectly true for Harper
rescued from among the passengers of
the i'll fated Rio" on which poor Harry
Seymour went down.
On that eventful night off the Golden
Gate he went through all the mental
agony that seems to rend mans heart,
soul and body when death stares him
in the face. He saw gallant Captain
Ward throw UP his hands, fall heavily
against the mizzen mast, and cry
hoarsely For Gods sake save the wo-
men," He saw Harry Seymour arrang-
ing his necktie three minutes previous
to the fatal plunge that carried the
Rio and her passengers to an I'M
known grave. He saw sailors, their lips
firmly set, working at the boats when
they knew that their task was hopeless
He saw mothers showering kisses on
their babies for the last time. He saw
Consul General Wildman vainly striv-
ing to save his wife, children and the
tin box containing papers to be de-
livered to the authorities at Washing
ton. He saw young American girls who
had remained up during the night to
catch the first glimpse of Gods country
offering up the last prayers-and all
this while he felt the gentle swaying of
the vessel as she settled nearer and
nearer to her grave, and worse than all
knew that he could not swim a stroke. |
Here is his own story as he related it
at the Press Club the other night.
