Qualities as City Sergeant.

William n. Smith. who resigned from the
office Saturday. Capt. Smith has been SER

elected for each successive term of two
years during that time. The retirement of
the city sergeant caused much surprise
and regret, as he was popular and had
given general satisfaction in the discharge
of his duties. Capt. Smith stated that in
resigning he wished to publicly thank the
people of Alexandria for the favors con-
ferred upon him. His resignation was
d
rest Upon being notified of his action

The following is the full text OF the

Very pleasant hast thou been unto me-"
Our President is dead. We can hardly
believe II. We had hoped and prayed.
and 1t seemed that our hopes were to be
realized and our prayers answered, when
the emotion OF JOY was changed to one
OF grave apprehension. Still we waited,
for We said, 1T may he that God will be
gracious and mcrciful unto u.s." 1t
seemed to US that II must he his will to
spare the life of one so well beloved and
so much needed. Thus, alternating be-
tween hope and fear. the weary hours
passed on. Then came the tidings of n

The black coffin had passed under an
arch of drawn sabers as II was carried
up the steps. Lieutenant Gsneral
Miles and the men of the army and
Rear Admiral Farquhar and the men
Of the navy held their positions. Cow

Out under the whispering oak trees

hillside, all that is earthly Of William
Mckinley now rests. About the flower
strewn slopes a picket line Of SOL
diers stands silent in the shadows.
whole Day Given to Grief.
All day Thursday mufied drums
beat their .requiems, brasses walled out
the strains Of marches Of the dead.
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
by a wall of soldiers, marching mil
itary and civilians passed with the
mourners Of the distinguished dead.
First among those who followed the
dead during the journey from the
home to the tomb was the man who is
now at the head Of the government.
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 paraiyzed mentally. During the
morning, at her urgent request, she
sat alone for a time beside the cof-
fin as 1t 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 casket 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.
Final Ceremonies Impressive.
The last ceremonies for the late
president were marked with a dignity
that struck dumbness to the tens OF
thousands who watched the funeral
column make the journey from the
home to the cemetery. From the
south parlor of the frame house which
had 30 long been the family home the
casket was borne to the First Metho-
dist church at Canton, with statesmen,
diplomats, great men Of nation. rep

idea of the feature OF 1t all which was
most conspicuous-the depth and ST.

scenes of Wednesday enacted over
again with Increased intensity. All
along through the great black lane Of
people that stretched from the Nc
kinley home to the cemetery-quite
two miles-were men and women
weeping as though their dearcs, friend
was being horne to the grave.
Every Eye Dim with Tears.
About the tomb itself the outburst
Of grief was still more striking. As
the casket was borne into the vault
there was not a member of the cabinet
who was not visibly affected, while
several were in tears, with their
handkerchiefs to their eyes. Secre-
tary Root, although controlling him
self to some degree of outward calm,
was deeply moved, while President
Roosevelt repeatedly pressed his hand
