ELK FAIR POSTPONED,
AND WILL OPEN FRIDAY

The opening of the Elks' carnival
has been postponed until next Friday
and the carnival will then continue
for eight days.
This was the decision reached by Di-
rector General Stoll and the executive
committee, at an early hour this morn
ing, after twenty-four hours of tele-
graphic negotiations with HARBOUR.

with the committee to furnish ten
shows for the Midway.
When the news of the president s
death was received the committee
Immediately set to work in an effort to
make satisfactory arrangements by
which the carnival might be postponed.
They shared, with all other patriotic
citizens, the grief occasioned by the
national bereavement and felt that
they could not go on with the carni-
val while the whole nation was in
mourning. But violation OF their con-
tract with Harbour would have cost
them $4,000. which. with the other
expenses incurred, would have driven
the local lodge into bankruptcy. They
therefore commenced negotiations
with HARBOUR for a postponement Of the
da tes Something like fifty kilograms
passed over the wires and finally the
committee notified Harbour that the
contract would be Cancelled unless
he consented to a postponenent He
thereupon agreed TO the proposition of

affected by yesterdays intelligence.
He had undergone a very painful, but
not dangerous, operation for local
trouble yesterday and was upset by
the sudden change for the worse in
Mr.. McKinley's condition. His physi-
clan, therefore, ordered that he should
be at complete repose and forbade that
the news of the presidents death be
communicated to him this morning.
He will be notified later in the day.
The minister of foreign affaires. NJ.
Delcasse, called at the embassy at 10
o'clock, but could not be received. A
few minutes later President Loubet
drove up. The ambassadors physician
received him and explained that the
news had thus far been kept from Am
basSadOr Porter. and it was deemed in
advisable to allow him to receive any
one President Loubet expressed deep
sympathy with the ambassador and
asked that the latter be informed of his
visit and that he intended personally
to convey condolences over the loss
sustained by the American people. He
then departed.
The doctor says there is absolutely no
danger for Ambassador Porter, who
only needs rest to insure his complete
recovery within few days. In fact,
but for the shooting Of President Nc
kinley, General Porter would have
started on a journey to Constantinople
next Saturday, as planned. President
Doubet sent the following message to
Mrs. Mckinley:
Il learn with deep pain that his eX
cellency, Mr.. Mckinley, has succumbe /
to the deplorable attempt on his life.
I sympathize with you with all my
heart in the calamity which strikes 8 t

spected.

Kings and Emperors Send Words

London, Sept. 14.-From the towers
of Westminster Abbey, from the grey
buildings where the government of the
empire is administered, from the man

kilograms are pouring in from prom
inent Englishmen, societies and mu-
inequalities. 1t seems as if every little
town in England is individually tele-
graphing an expression of sympathy
and horror. Everything, as yet, is
rather unsettled. but it is probable that
a memorial service of imposing pro-
portions win be held in Westminster
Abbey. as was done at the time of the
death of General Grant. Whether the
British government viii issue any OFF,
ciaI notification of mourning, rests
chiefly with King Edward.
Affecting scenes marked the an
noUncement of the death of the presi-
dent at the Ecumenical Methodist con-
ference which passed resolutions de-
claring that the whole Christian world
sympathized with the American people.
Throughout the length and breadth
of Europe. feelings similar to those
evidenced in the British metropolis
seem to have been evoked. Perhaps
this is best voiced by the Weiner Tage-
blatt which says; The ocean is not
wide enough to hold all the sympathy
that is streaming from the old world

sador Choate as follows:

Secretary Hay spent the morning in
consultation with the heads of the va

of the presidents death in the early
morning he autographed as follows:

A response came from President
Roosevelt as soon as he arrived at

of the message, and said he could not
express his sorrow in suitable terms.
He added that he was starting at once
for Buffalo on a special train from

former city at 3 o'clock this afternoon.

upon the death OF President Mckinley,
and he had already taken the oath of
Office to serve the United States gov
eminent when he became vice presi-
dent, so that after all the taking of a
new oath was not a ceremony that
seemed to be absolutely necessary to
prevent an inter-regnum in govern

The first outcome of the consultation
in the secretary's office was the issu-
ance of the following order:

PREPARE TO RECEIVE
BODY OF PRESIDENT
Arrangements Being Made at the National Capital
For State Funeral.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE capitol
building was closed today out of re-
spect to the memory of President Nc
kinley and preparations were begun for
receiving the body of the president,
which will lie in state in the rotunda,
as did the body of Presidents Lincoln
and Garfield. The capitol on both
sides of the rotunda is in great dis
order on account of repairs in progress
but it is not believed that this circum-
stance will interfere in any way with
the public ceremony of mourning.
When President Garfield's body lay
in the capitol, the public assembled on
the east front of the building and going
in at the main door in double file,
passed out at the west door, the people
separa ting in two lines as the bier was
approached. a similar order viii be
preserved at the forthcoming ceremo-

tody of a guard of honor. the ser
geants-at-arms of the senate and house
of representatives assisting in the de-
tails of the ceremonies. The historical
state catafalque stored at the capitol,
is being put into condition.
The flag on the White House was
half masted early this morning and on
the big front door was posted the
printed card Closed The white shades
of the east room were drawn over the
windows and the public was not adj
mitted TO the building. With careworn
faces and soft step the White House
attaches went about their duties. No
public business was transacted.
In anticipation of the coming of Mrs.
Mckinley and eventually Of the family
of the new president, a large force Of
workmen is engaged in preparing the
White House for occupancy 1t is ex-
pected that President Roosevelt Will go

Your genuine Athenian believes the
goat to be the proper milk producing
animal, and he regards the COW in this
connection about as we Americans do
the mare. The milkman takes his ami
mails with him, .jangling their bells and
sneezing. "Gala!' he shouts, a quick,
startling cry, with a "g" whose gut.
tural quality is unattainable by adult
learners and usually unperceived by
them. When customer comes to the
door, he strips the desired quantity in
to the proffered receptacle before her

and paying no attention to the others,
who understand the business as we'll as
he does. Patiently they stand about,
chewing the cud or resting on contigu-
GUS doorsteps. When their master
moves on, they arise and follow, more
faithful than dogs.
The obvious and well nigh overpow-
ering temptation to which the milkman
is subjected affects him in Greece as in
America. In Greece it Is taken for
granted that he cannot resist, and he is
therefore obliged to take his animals
with him. But even thus he is not

tustrous and silken haired he swept
The blackthorn silver loose and lept
Into the leaHess lane;
His pleasant minstrelsy began;
Torrents Of music riot ran
Across the haze grit plain;
He flung the fields new liveries
And green slashed doublets to the tresa
Then, stopping, from lily bowl
Drank Of the sweetness OF her soul
And madly sprang away.
In marshes and moist meadows he
6undered the stately feurs-de-lis;
Kingcups in gilt array
He tossed amid the tasseled reeds
Quiv'ring and bent with crystal beads
And ever In his thoughtless flight
About him danced In vestures bright
His minion butterflies.
His plumber was the rose hid dew.
Rose leaves the largesse that he threw
At random to the skies,
Nor ceased he till he havoc made
Amid the jasmines starry braid.
30 was his rich inheritance
Ruined and lost. With swift advance
And stern In russell gown
Came autumn, Of the spendthrift youth
BY bitter bonds devoid Of ruth,
Demanding summers crown.

The robins mourn his broken throne.
