of the meeting on Thursday was the
reception of letter from Gen. Lew
Wallace, in response to request to
be present. saying that he had at
tended meetings of the society but had
withdrawn from it because some of
the members were unfriendly to him
on account of the discussions that
grew out of the battle of Shiloh. He
then asked that a committee be APP

followed ON the letter and the society
refused to grant the request for an
investigation and also refused to give
out the letter, declaring that it would
be unwise with its implied attacks.

MCKINLEY AND BUFFALO
WORKMEN.

a little incident strongly illustra-
tive of President McKinley's generous
nature and his thoughtfulness for
Others occurred ON Thursday morning
the day before the assassination. and
we tell the story for the first time
says Leslie's Weekly. The President
had started out from the home of Mr.
Mllburn, his host, for an early morn
ing stroll, the weather being bright
and beautifully Turning out from Della
ware avenue into a side street, he
halted in front of a house where a
laborer was cutting the grass with a
lawn mower and engaged the man i'll
conversation. The President inuuir-
ed as to the cost and workmanship of
the different kinds Of mowers, and 9TH
er little details of the mans calling,
such as would interest any person de-
sirous of being well informed, and all
i'll the kindly and gracious manner
habitual to the speaker.
While the two stood thus talking, a
street sweeper came along and he too,
was accosted by President Mckinley,
and drawn into the conversation, all
of which had reference to- the work in
which the men were engaged.
Just as they were about to separate,
the President, who had been unrecog-
nized up to this time, put his hand
into his pocket and pulling out two
one dollar bills gave one to each of
the men, asking them to accept them
as a token of the good will of the
President of the United States This
kindly deed was probably the last to
be performed by Mr.. Mckinley in his
capacity as a private citizen, but it rs
strikingly characteristic of the whole
tenor of his life The facts as here
given were related to Mr.. T. Dart
Walker, the special artist of Leslie s
Weekly at Buffalo, by the two men
themselves who were the recipients
of the tokens. AS they displayed the
bills and told the simple story of the
great hearted man from whose hands
the tokens came, the tears stood in
their eyes
