great men of the nation followed a
funeral car in grief and tears. Through
solid banks of -bareheaded men and
weeping women and children, fringed

mourners of the distinguished. dead.
First among those who followed the

Mrs. Mckinley Nears Collapse.
Mrs Mckinley was unable to attend
the funeral. While the last rites were
being said she remained in a room of
the family home, dazed, not realizing
that death had come to her husband,
almost paralyzed mentally, During the
morning, at her urgent request, she
sat alone for time beside the cof-
fin as it lay in the south parlor Of
the house. No one seeks to, lift the
veil that is drawn over this. scene
about the bier of the last earthly
sleep. The .casketj was. not opened,
But she was near the, one who. ever
had cared for and protected her; near
the dead for whom grief has burned
into the soul of a country the lessons
of manliness and beneficence taught by
his life.
