Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. IA
President Mckinley died at 2.15 a. m.
He had been unconscious since 7.50
D. m. His last conscious hour on
earth was spent with the wife to
whom he devoted life time of care.
He died unattended by minister of
the gospel but his last words were
an humble submission to the will of
the God in whom he believed He was
reconciled to the cruel fate to which
an assassin's bullet had condemned
him, and faced death in the same
spirit of calmness and poise which has
marked his long and honorable career
His last conscious words, reduced to
writing by DR.. Mann, who stood at his
bedside when they were uttered, were
as follows:
Goodbye. All goodbye 1t is Gods
way His will be done, not ours"
Before o'clock last evening it was
clear to those at the Presidents bed
side that he was dying, and prepara-
tions were made for the last sad of
fees of farewell from those who were
nearest and dearest to him. Oxygen

ness a1ly to relapse into another But
in this period, when his mind was
partially clear, occurred a series Of
events OF profoundly touching char
acteT Down stairs, with strained and
tear-Stafned faces, members of the
cabinet were grouped in anxious wait
ing. They knew that the end was
near and that the time had come
when they must see him for the last
time on earth. This was about 6
o'clock. One by one they ascended
the stairway-Secretary Root, Secre-
tary Hitchcock and Attorney General
Knox. Secretary Wilson also was
there. but he held back, not wishing to
see The President in his last agony.
There was only mOmentary stay of
the cabinet officers at the Threshold
of the death chamber Then they
withdrew. the tears streaming down
their faces and the words of intense
grief choking in their throats.
After they left the sick room the
physicians rallied the President to
consciousness. and he asked almost
Immediately that his wife be brought
to him. The doctors fell back into
the shadows of the room as Mrs. Nc
Kinley came through the doorway. The
strong face of the dying man lighted
up with a faint smile as their hands
were clasped. She sat beside him
and he held his hand. Despite her ply
sical weakness she bore up bravely
under the ordeal
Then his mind began to wander. and
soon afterward he completely lost
consciousness. His life was prolonged
for hours by the administration of
oxygen, and the President finally ex-
pressed desire to be allowed to die.
About $50 the administration of oxy-
gen ceased, and the pulse grew fainter
ana fainter He was sinking gradually
like child into the eternal slumber
BY 10 o'clock the pulse could no longer
be felt in his extremities, and they
grew cold Below stairs the grief
stricken gathering waited sadly for
the end.
Secretary Root and Secretary Will
son came from the house about mid
night and paced up and down the
sidewalk All that Secretary Root said
was: THE night las not come yet"

Secretary of the Navy Long arrived

Emma Goldman, the leading anar-

stands charged with conspiracy to
murder the President of the United
States, and it is the duty, of officers
of the law to discover every scrap of
evidence that will tend to prove this
and to present it to jury. This
woman has stalked about the country
breathing threats of vengeance ON all
men in authority. She has outdane
the anti ti-"imperialists" and the yellow

and arson, and she preached it to Czol-

did as she told him and she is a thou

Church Bu,It nv Cr,cket Matches.

The cost Of building the native
church of the London Missionary So
ciety in Apia has been betrayed chiefly
by-cricket matches! Once week the
chiefs ordered all the people, men and
women, boys and girls, to play the
game. Anyone who disobeyed this or
der was fined dollar. This did not
often happen, for all usually mustered
on the ground for play. The matches
were played in different parts of the
town, and from 300 to 400 players
would take part in one game. Each
player of the losing side had to sub
scribe shilling towards the building
of the church. The scheme became
very popular, and after awhile folk of
all denominations, people from other
parts of the world, white and black,
desired to participate in the game. It
was finally arranged that any person
not belonging to the church could in
dulge in an innings upon payment of
one shilling to the church. A number
of young men who otherwise would not
have subscribed cent to the church
became large supporters and subscrib-
ers, and many shillings were gathered
in each day Of the play, and now the
Apia natives are in the proud position
of having one Of the finest and most
handsome churches in the islands, en-
tirely free of debt.-Australian Cor,

Of u S. Treasury Department, graduate of
Columbia College, and who served three
years at West Point, has the following to
say of Peruna:
"Allow me to express my gratitude
to you for the benefit derived from
your wonderful remedy. One short
month has brought forth vast change
and now consider myselfa well man
after months of suffering. Fellow
sufferers, Peruna will cure YOU"
Catarrh is systemic disease durable
only by systematic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly. at
the depressed nerve centers. This is what
Peruna does. Peruna Immediately invigor-
ates the nerve-centers which give vitality to
the mucous membranes Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.

has no substitutes-no rivals. Insist upon
