80, 900 People Visw the Remains.

Buffalo, Sept IL. Blu ffalo to-
day became city of mourning.
The gay and flaming decorations
of the Pan American Exposition
gave way to the symbol of sor-
row. The black drspery of the
city's streets mufflsd the tolling
bells of the churches Bits of
crepe appeared "n every slsev..
The sorrow was everywhere ap-
parent. In the morning simple
service took place at the residence
on Delaware avenue, whore The
martvred President died. A hymn
was sung and prayer was sffsrsd
over the dead body. That was
all. Oul, tho immediate family
and friends and political assistants
OF the late President were present.
The scene there was pathetic in
the extreme Then the body was
borne cut to tho waiting cortsge
on the brawny shoulders of eight
sailors and soldiers of tho republic.
The cortese passed through the
walls of living humanity, bare
headed and grief stricken, to the
city hall, whore the body lay in
state this afternoon There re.
rnarkable demonstration occurred
which proved how close the Prssi
dent was to the hearts of the poo
pie. Arrangements had been
made to allow the public to view
the body from the time 1t arrived,
at about 10; 80 o'clock, until about
5 "'clock, but the people were
wedsed into the streets for blocks.
! Two lines wero formed. They
extend literally for miles. When
O'Clock came 10000 people had
already passed and tho crowds
waiting below in the streets seemed
undiminIshed. 1t was decided to
sxtend the time until midnight.
Then for four hours longer the
streets were dense with people and
a constant stream flowed up tho
steps of the broad entrance into
hall and passed tho bier. When
the doors were closed ut midnight
it was estimated that So pso
Pile had viewed ths remains, but
thousands of disappointed ones
were still in tho streets. The
body will lie in the city hall until
morning. 1t will be taken to the
station by military escort to.
morrow morning and at $3.50 the
funeral train, consisting of seven
cars, will start for Washir gton
over the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Mrs. Mckinley, the President,
tie cabinet and relatives and
friends of the dead President will
accompany the remains.

ceremony was simple His friends

Spring is here.


 Purify your blood. Take Paine's celery compound.
 It Is the one spring remedy sought after and highly esteemed by intelligent, earn est men and women throughout the land Paine's celery compound has created it's own constituency.
 Men and women who have never taken a spoonful of any sarsaparilly or patent medicine of any sort, nor allowed them to enter their homes, not only use Paine's celery compound when themselves sick, but persuade their families to do the same.
 And yet when the history of this won derful remedy is studied 1t is easy to un- derstand why Paines celery compound thus stands alone and superior to all rem edies in the estimation of the public. It is a physicians remedy.
 It is the prescription of Edward E. Phelps, M. D., IL. D., Professor of Ma teria Medica at Dartmouth College.
 There is no mistaking the standing of Paine's celery compound in the family of Maj A. M. Wheeler, Superintendent of Exhibits at the Pan-American EXposi- tion, New York State Commissioner at the Atlanta Exposition and former As sistant Postmaster at Buffalo:
 Buffalo, N. Y, Feb. 2, 1901. Dear Sirs-Being run down from over work physically and mentally, 1 tried Paine's celery compound as a remedy. It undoubtedly did me much good. My wife

PLATT AMENDMENT
 GETS ENDORSEMENT
Majority of the Committee of the Cuban Convention
 Favor Acceptance

Havana, March 29-Senor Villuenda of the committee on relations of the Cuban Constitutional Convention. today signed the report of Senor Juan Gaulberto Go meg, thus placing a majority of the com mittee in opposition to the principal func- tions of the Platt amendment.
 Little public interest is manifested in the outcome. The convention itself Is di- vided into warning political factions, local politics being the chief subject of dis cusson. General Sanguilly has sent in his resignation. alleging that he could not abide by the vote of the Havana Repub- licans rejecting the amendment. It is doubtful if the convention would accept the amendment as the Republican dele gates from Santiago and Santa Clara, though they have been repudiated by their party for voting against the amend ment still hold their seats. Radically op- posite views are held by different groups of the same party, and this tends to sub- stantiate assertion of the conservative press that the opposition to the amend ment is centered in Havana, and that the delegates don't represent the feeling of their constituents
 A split Is threatened In the national party of Havana.

and some of my relatives have also been using it, and inform me they have been very greatly benefited.
 Sincerely yours
 ALGER M. WHEELER. The superiority of Paines celery com pound Is well illustrated by the way en- tire families are benefited whenever any one member of the household tries 1t. Nothing is more common than for hus- band, wife and children to be led to use it. because they have observed It's health making effects in the case of some rela- tive or intimate friend.
 Young and old now need to take a spring remedy to purify their blood to feed their tired nerves and to invigorate their bodies. Long experience has shown the necessity of such spring cleaning for everybody, sick or well.
 Thousands are taking Paine's celery compound.
 It is so far above all other spring medi- cines in it's strengthening, nerve-restor- ing, blood-purifying, health-giving, last ing effects that it has no competitor among discriminating people.
 The old cures one by one. in the last few years have dropped by the way, un- til today the sales of Paines celery com- pound in every civilized country are larg CT than those of all other spring rem edies of all kinds combined.
 People just sick enough not to be healthy-every city is full of such semi invalids should take advantage of Paine's celery compound to put their blood and nerves into a healthy condi ton.
 Spring is the time to get well.

A Police Court Prologue.

Rather a full house this morning., re- marked Judge Feagin In the Police Court yesterday, looking through hls spectacles at the crowd of rag-tag and bob-tail the police gather up every day.
 Looks more like a hush,'' remarked Clerk Meade They were all flushed by the police-quite covy, too."
 "Its not straight. anyway" said sher- If curran. flor they're all crooks. and there's nothing straight about them that's straight"
 Judge" said a lawyer, that brown one over in tho corner has got regular Irish mug on him l wonder who put it op him.
 An Irishman, reckon" said the judge but he looks to me more like burnt cork minstrel than an Irishman from Cork These remarks are however, get ting rather personal Ring up the cur tain, Mr. Clerk"
 T only ring up the cash your Honor said the clerk "The sheriff should ring it up.
 That's so,' said the judge. Excuse me. Will you ring 'em up, MT. Sheriff?"
  though l would much rather hang 'em up.'
 "They would rather be set up," said the judge. Everyone to his taste, as the French say. 1 would say that in French for you if l could recollect 1t, and thought you could understand it."
 T used to study French said the clerk. When I went to school l could say, ''Donnez moi le pain.'
 Tt gives me pain" said the judge, Ito hear 1t now. Of course, I know that pain is different thing in French than in English
 T understand" said the sheriff. that a long time ago all court pleadings were in French, and that lawyers were called courtiers.
 T wish they were more courteous now, said the judge. "They have no regard for my feelings. They wear colored shirts with diamond studs and discolored shirts with no studs at all"
 Couldn't your Honor regulate that by a rule of court?" asked the clerk
 Someone has said, MT. Clerk" said the judge, that the best governed coun- try is the least governed. try to apply that rule to this court, and by having no rules at all I hope to have 1t we'll ruled. Everyone does as he pleases. This pleases me, and hope 1t pleases them"
 That lawyer over there looks pleased said the clerk. T think he has just got fee.'
 That reminds me-, said the judge, that we have not yet taken in anything Is the bank open, MT. Clerk?'
 Yes. sir
 Well, call the first case" said the judge. T
