THE SONGS MIRANDY SINGS.
ROY FARRELL GREENE.

Mrandys voice is geuln' cracked, a little quayer floats
From out her pretty mouth when she attempts the higher notes,
An all in all, though still l love her just as much, know
She cannot MARBLE like she did some thirty years ago.
But lois o. times, when I'm at work around the barn, l hear
In some old song I'd half forgot, her voice arlnging clear,
A honeYsuckle of a tune that round my oil heart cings- |
An fresh with youthful blossoms are the songs Mrandy sings.
Its Hard Times Come Again No More, "John Anderson My Jo,"
Or where that Teller talks to Tom bout Twenty Years Ago."
"Ben Bolt, " 'Lorens," 'Home Sweet Home, ~ er maybe that oil
tune
That makes you walk with Bobby Burnes the banks of Bonnie
Doom"
/ wouldn't trade a one o. them oil melodies we knew
? For all these new ones writ about a Hannah girl er Lou,
; Since we had sweet oil tunes them days an not these ragtIme
; things,
} An, somehow, love js gushes out the songs Mrandy sings.
} The one that of some Maggie tells: "When You and l Were
? Young"
: 1t pears 4 mes the sweetest thing a mortal ever sung"
; An better yet than that, a glimpse of Heaven l behold,
God-'
Though modern songs an operays the younger folks may please
I'd rather hear a cracked voice IN the odtime melodies
iGan PATHS throat or Melbas MARBLE hifalutln' things
The songs of thirty years ago, the songs Mrandy sings.

GUITEAUS SANITY.
dow DR.. Buckley Satisfied himself of
Muydersr's Responsibility.

huJdersr's Responsibility.
Writing in the Century o f''The As
sassination Of Kings and Presidents"
Rev. Dr. J. NJ. Buckley tells Of an in
terview he had with Garfeld's assas-
sin after the commission of his crime.
Ipropounded TO Guiteau a series of
questions which, with few exceptions,
were such as he had not answered be-
fore. They related to his mental and
moral experiences while contemplate
ing his objections to the course Of
Garfield toward himself, to the rise Of
the idea that he must remove him."
to his shrinking from it at first or
otherwise, and to what would have
been his opinion if President Garfield
had recovered. Many of them in
volved sharp determinations, and
were such as would have puzzled typ
ical monomaniac or paranoiac. lie
answered the questions, made no reply
that required explanation, used no
s~uperfuous words, did not ask for a
repetition of any question, nor employ
a word in an improper sense; but oc-
casionally he contradicted the record
Of his own course and his own testi-
mony. He gave no indication of be-
ing, or%everhaying been, irresponsibly
insane. His conversation and bear
ing were unlike those of any irrespon-
sible insane mar with whom | have
conversed. They resembled those of
a mar who had committed a crime,
and after doing so had made himself
believe that he could not helpit. His
motives were obvious. He desired Of
fee; disappointed in the quest, he felt
revengeful and the idea occurred to
him to kill the president and put the
"stalwarts' in power. When it first
rose it was like the idea Of forgery,
murder, or suicide. By turning
away he could have cast it out and re-
sisted its fascination, but as he volun-
tarily dwelt upon it, its proportions
grew.
The thought that he had been sub
ject to "a pressure Of the Deity" came
upon him in this way. Most criminals
are fatalists. The chief difficulty is
to convince them Of guilt. Guiteau
had all his life been familiar with the
ology; his mind was imbued with Bib
lical phrases. With an inactive con-
science; vanity stimulated by the ex-
element which his deed caused, the
peculiarities of treatment to which he
was subjected, it was natural that he
should pervert Biblical analogies and
say that God commanded it," This
naturalized his act in his own view,
and left him free from remorse. That
he expressed ii in theological language
no more proves that he could not help
it than if, like an ordinary criminal,
he had said: 81 could not help it; l
had to do it"
The root questions in this case were:
Did he know what he was doing? Did
he know that it was a crime? Had he
power to refrain from doing it?
These, l believe, could be answered
only in the affirmative by one unwed-
ded to a theory.
Whether Guiteau had become ire
sponsibly insane at the time of his ex-
ecution is another question.

one of the presidents closest friends,
and his face plainly betrayed his
grief Mr.. Dick sought the governor
az once, and n handclasp told the tale
of mutual sorrow. Not a word was
spoken by either, but tears were in
their eyes. When later bulletins told
the nature of the wounds, Gen. Dick
said:
There is a chance, then. The presi-
dent is a man of magnificent physique
and of indomitable courage, and he
will never give in until the end comes.
Ii grit will pull a man through he
be will live"
Shortly after the news of the shoot
ing had been received there occurred
az affecting incident in the Offices of
the governor. II. c. Phillips, of Mid
dletown, came in with his two little
sons, the oldest not over six years of
age. lie said that the boys wished TO
shake hands with the governor. Gov.
Nash arose from the seat into which
he had cast himself, and gravely took
the boys by the hano. The smaller
of the two observed the full length
portrait of the president On the west
wall of the executive chamber. He
recognized il. and, walking over to it,
said in his childish treble:
"oh, wont he get well, papa? Wont
he get well?"
pray God he may, son." said the
father, and all in the room responded.
Gov. Nash remained in the execu-
tive chamber during the afternoon
and evening surrounded by state Off
Gals and personal friends of the pres
ident, receiving bulletins in regard to
the presidents condition.
The following telegram was sent by
the governor:
ITO the President, care Hon. John NJ.
Milburn, Buffalo, N. y:
"My Office is filled with anxious,
loving inquirers after your condition
Every ear in Ohio is turned toward
Buffalo, eager TO catch the first word
of hope. Every heart beats with the
inspiration that you will speedily re-
cover. Every fervent prayer which
goes up to Heaven tonight will be in
your behalf. Make a good fight, for
all the people are with you and love
you. lSignedl
GEORGE X. NASH"
The streets of the city were filled
with excited throngs of people during
the latter part of the day and even
ing, and news of the attempted as
sassination and the presidents condi-
ton was eagerly sought.

The Governor of Ohio sounds the
Keynote of Humble Faith-How
the News of the shooting of the
President Was Received.

Columbus, o., Sept. THE news of
the attempt TO assassinate President
Mckinley was received with profound
sorrow and anxiety in the capital of
his native state, where he resided dur
ing the four years in which he served
as chief executive of Ohio.
Gov. Nash, Secretary of State Lay
lin and Auditor of State Guilbert were
holding a conference in the executive
chamber when the sad tidings
reached the capital. The governor
was completely unnamed, and, after
pacing the floor a few minutes, he
walked over 10 the door, and leaning
his head against the Intel, buried
his face in his hands.
a few minutes later, Congressman
Charles Dick hurried in from the re-
publican state headquarters. lie IL

ing, where he was held while the
building was cleared and later he was
turned over TO superintendent Bull
of the Buffalo police department, who
took the prisoner to No. - police sta
ton and ofterward to police head
quarters. AS soon as the crowd in the
Temple of Music had been dispersed
sufficiently, the president was removed
in the automobile ambulance and
taken to the exposition hospital,
where an examination was made. The
best medical skill was summoned, and
within "A brief period several of Buff
falo's best-known practitioners were
at the patients side.

president seemed stunned by the
news, put his hands TO his head and
then exclaimed: my God"
Those around him were immediate
ly informed of the tragedy, and it was
decided TO announce il to the COM
pany OF thousand people, who had
gathered to hear Col. Roosevelt speak
at the annual outing of the Vermont
Fish and Game league.
Senator Proctor made the an
nouncement, and many persons in the
audience burst into tears. A later
bulletin was received stating that the
president was resting quietly, and
that the chances were favorable for
his recovery.
"Good," exclaimed the vice-presi-
dent, and his face lighted UP. He
showed his pleasure by eagerly an
nouncing the good news TO the as
sembly.
The yice-president then left imme-
diately on the yacht FL Frida, owned
by w. Seward Webb, and came to this
city as quickly as possible, having di-
rected that all messages should be
held for him here. The yacht was to
have gone to Arrow Point, where a
special train was waiting for the vice.

to Burlington, and was there when
the yacht came into the harbor at
S:15 p. IN.
President Clement of the Rutland
railroad placed the train at the dis
posal OF the vice-president, and made
arrangements to take him on it to the
scene of the tragedy.
Col. Roosevelt was asked at the
wharf for a statement for publication
and said:
81 am so ineXpressibly grieved,
shocked and Mortified, that can say
nothing"
He boarded the train and left for

THE ASSASSIN CoNFESSES.
mn Goldman, whose Teachings
Prompted the Crime.

Buffalo, Sept. Leon Czolgosz, the
accused and self-confessed assassin,
has signed a confession covering sig
pages of foolscap and which states
that he is an anarchist, and that he
became an enthusiastic member OF
that body through the influence Of
Emma Goldman, whose writings he
had read and whose lectures he had
listened to. He denies having any
confederate, and says he decided on
the act three days ago, and bought the
revolver with which the crime was
committed in Buffalo. He has seven
brothers and sisters in Cleveland, and
the Cleveland directory has the names
of about that number living on Hos
mer street and Ackland avenue, which
adjoin. Some of them are butchers
and others are employed in different
trades. He is now detained at police
headquarters pending the result OF
the presidents injuries.
Czolgosz does not appear in the
least degree uneasy or penitent for
his action. He says he was induced
by his attention to Emma Goldman's
lectures and writings to decide that
the present form of government in
this country was all wrong and he
thought the best way to end it was
by killing the president. He shows no
sign of insanity, but is very reticent
about much of his career. While ac-
knowledging himself an anarchist, he
does not state to what branch of the
organization he belongs.

pen to SO splendid a man as President
Mckinley, and at this time, and upon
such an occasion-it is horrible, aw-
full.
"Mr. Mckinley never had any fear
of danger from that source. OF course
never talked to him on such a sub
ject, but / know he never dreamed
of anything like this happening.

IL too awful"
To a reporter he exclaimed:
"What is this great country coming
to when such men as Lincoln. Garfield
and Mckinley fall by the bullet of as
sassins?
81 shall hurry 10 the bedside of the
president as rapidly as the train will
take me. / only hope that he is not
seriously injured: but l am afraid
that my hopes will be in vain. l do
want TO reach the president before
he dies, If he is going TO die. Nobody
can be safe from the work of an in
sane man, it seems. 1t is terrible"
AS the senator boarded a car tears
were streaming down his face.

'"o
London, Sept. THE newspapers

recovery, while heartfelt gratitude 10
felt that the latest reports give
ground for that hope.
The Times says, editorially:
at will be a relief to the American
people to know that the criminal or
lunatic was not one of themselves. We
will not contemplate the possibility of
a fatal result, but in any case the gov
eminent of the United States will not
be disturbed. Vice-President Roose-
welt is a man of ability and distinc-
ton, in whose hands there is no doubt
the country's interests would be safe;
but President Mckinley has gained an
almost unique position, and it would
