The body Of the President lay in
state in Buffalo on Sunday, where
it was viewed by many thousands of
persons. On Monday it was carried
by a special train, on which were also
members of his family and many dis
tinguished persons, to Washington.
At every town and city along the
route vast crowds of persons gathered,
and with barred heads and every token
of respect watched the funeral train
glide by. At many places flowers
were strewn upon the railroad track.
The train arrived in Washington Mon
day night, and the body was taken to
the White House, where for the last
time it found shelter in the Executive
Mansion.
Tuesday morning, escorted by a
stately and solemn procession Of mil
itary and civic organizations, and fol-
lowed by hundreds OF carriages con-
tanning relatives and friends and dis
tinguished men from our country and
foreign lands, the mortal remains Of
the President were taken from the
White House to the Capitol over the
same route he travelled in triumph to
his Inauguration on the 4th Of last
March. The coffin was placed upon
a catafalque in the great rotunda of
the Capitol, and here were held the
religious services in the presence of
the distinguished assemblage The
choir of the Presidents church sang
with thrilling effect the hymn that
was his favorite of all church music,
Lead, Kindly Light" and this was
followed with prayer by Rev. DR..
Henry R. Naylor, after which Mrs.
Thomas B. Noyes sang as solo, "Some-
time we'll understand. The sermon
was preached by Bishop Edward G..
Andrews, of the NJ. E. Church. At
its conclusion the audience rose about
the coffin, the organ sounded two or
three chords, and the whole assemblage
began to sing softly the hymn indisso-
lubly associated with Mr.. Mckinley s
death-"Nearer, My God, To Thee. :"
Everyone sang-the members of the
late Presidents family, the new Pres
ident. Mr.. Cleveland, the Justices Of
the Supreme Court, members of the
Congress. foreigners in their strange
uniforms, and men who had lot sung
before in years. Louder and louder
grew the singing. At the end of the
first stanza it was the earnest tribute
of men who had lost dear friend !;
the second was song of reverent ac-
quiescence in the Unbounded Will
that hadtaken the President away and

President Roosevelt requested all
the members of the cabinet to refrain
from presenting their designations and
for the present at least to continue in
office. He said he had not in mind
single thought that would lead him to
deviate from the policy that had been
successfully carried out by the late
President. The members Of the cabi-
net assented to his request.
At night the President issued his
first proclamation, which was as fol-
lows:
"a terrible bereavement has befallen
our people. The President Of the Uni
ted States has been struck down; a
crime committed not only against the
Chief Magistrate, but against every law
abiding and liberty-loving citizen.
president Mckinley crowned life
of largest love for his fellowmen, of
most earnest endeavor for their welfare,
by death of Christian fortitude, and
both the way in which he lived his life
hour of trial, he met his death will re-
main forever precious heritage of oui
people.
1T is meet that we, as a nation, ex-
press our abiding love and reverence for
his life, our deep sorrow for his untime-
ly death.
Now, therefore, l. Theodore Roose-
welt, President of the United States Of
America, do appoint Thursday next,
September 10Th, the day on which the
body of the dead President will be laid
in its last earthly resting place, as a day
of mourning and prayer throughout the
United States. earnestly recommend
all the people to assemble on that day
in their respective places OF divine wor-
ship, to bow down in submission to the
will of Almighty God, and to pay out
OF full hearts their homage of love and
reverence to the great and good Presi
dent Whole death has smitten the nation
with bitter grief.

set my hand and caused the seal Of the
United States to be affixed.

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its APP
pearance or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
If it driven out. This S. s. S. does, and
IS the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.

SOME comment has been occasioned
by the fact that the tragic death of
President Mckinley caused scarcely a
hutter on Wall street. This is not
strange, however. The group Of f.
nanciers of which ]. Pierpont Morgan
is the center is far stronger than the
government itself, and they can make
or prevent panics just about as they
please.
This is not, however, a wise condi-
ton. Too much power is in the hands
ola few men.

An autopsy was performed on the
body of the President, after which the
surgeons in charge made the following
report:
1.-The bullet which struck over the
breastbone did not pass through the
skin and did little harm. The other
bullet passed through both walls of the
stomach near its lower border. Both
holes were found to be perfectly closed
by the stitches, but the tissue around
each hole had become gangrenous.
After passing through the stomach
the bullet passed into the back walls
of the abdomen, hitting and tearing
the upper end of the kidney. This
portion of the bullet track was also
gangrenous, the gangrene involving
the pancreas. The bullet has not yet
been found. There was no sign of
peritonitis or disease of other organs.
The heart walls were very thin.
There was no evidence Of any attempt
at repair on the part of nature, and
death resulted from the gangrene which
affected the stomach around the bullet
wounds, as well as the tissues around
the further course of the bullet. Death
was unavoidable by any surgical or
medical treatment and was the direct
reenlt of the bullet Wound
The opinion has been expressed in
some quarters that the bullet that
caused the Presidents death was poi
soned. This view is not held by the
physicians who attended him, except
DR.. Wasdin, and he states positively
that he believes that some organic poi
son had been placed on the bullet.

THE case of the late President
seems to have been one where doctors
thoroughly agreed-yet they were all
wrong. They had practically an
nounced to the world that the Pres
ident was out of danger and would
get well, but two days afterward he
was dead. and when they made their
autopsy they said that from the first
it was impossible that he should re-
cover. The people are satisfied that
all that medical and surgical skill
could do for Mr.. Mckinley was done,
but it is nevertheless something of
reflection on the medical men attend
ing him that they were so utterly de-
ceived and that the country should
have been bouysd up by false hope
for which there now appears to have
been no basis.

BY the strike Of the past couple of
months many Of the iron workers
who have been out of employment
have gotten so far behind that it will
be years before they catch up fnan-
cially. President Schwab, of the
Steel Trust, seems not to have become
embarrassed, however, for he has just
bought site for residence for him
self in New York for which he paid
the amazing sum of $S60,OO0. The
dwelling which he will erect upon it
will be the most splendid in the world,
it is said, and we can readily believe
it when he pays nearly a million just
for the location.
And this is the sort of thing the
strikers were up against.

publicly in favor of woman suffrage

For Shipping Game.

Nathaniel S. Smith, president of

tion, John L. Kuser, Ben G. Kuser,
Robert Post, Andrew j. Post, Jr.,
and R. Heber Breintnall, members,
were intercepted last Monday at
Glen Eyre by Secretary of the Game
Commission DIR. Joseph Kalbfus,
who found in their possession game
which they were about to ship out
of the state, contrary not only to
the provisions of the state law Of
1897 but also in violation of the act
of congress. Complaint was made
before a United States commission
er and the matter will be determin-
ed in the district courts. This ac-
ton on the part of the game com
mission is not for the purpose of
persecution, but because these par
ties openly denied having game in
their possession and made effort to
evada the law. 1t is the intention
of the commission to see that the
law is obeyed by those who are nom
residents and by residents as wells
and a submission may save partie,
trouble and cost.
