In the annals of crime Ii is Difficult,
to find an instance OF murder so afro
the assassination Of Mr.. Mckinley. Some
reason or pretext has been usually assigned
for the sudden taking away Of earthly rulers
Baithasar. the impiOus king of Chaldea
ennecs. He vas suddenly struck dead by
the hand OF the Lord. How different was
the life of our chief magistrate, No court

or more free from the breath Of scandal
than the official home OF President McKin.

The President could have said TO his slayer:
-Betrayest thou the head Of the nation with
the grasp Of the hand:'
The domestic virtues Of Mr. Mckinley were
worthy Of all praise. He was a model hus-
hand. Amid the pressing and engrossing
duties OF his official life he would from time
TO time snatch few moments to devote 10
the invalid and loving partner OF his Joys
and SORROWS. Oh. what 4 change has come
over that afflicted woman. Yesterday she
was the first lady Of the land. To-day she l.

Let US beseech Him who comforted the wild

hour Of desolation.
The strongest shield of our chief mag:s-
trate Is the love and devotion of his fellow
citizens. The most effective way to stop
such crimes Is to inspire the rising genera
tion with greater reverence for the consti-
tuted authorities, and a greater horror for
any Insult or injury TO their person. Ali Sc
ditious language should be suppressed. In
cendiary speech Is too often an incentive TO
criminal acts on the part Of many to whom
the transition from words TO deeds Is easy.
Let IL be understood. once for all. that the
authorities are determined TO crush the SER

At the Capitol exercises the members
of the two houses entered under escort

with silk American flags, also the walls

} EXTRACTS FROM THE
FUNERAL SERMON AT CANTON

II was characteristic Of our beloved Presi-
dent that men met him only to love him
They might indeed differ with him but I'm
the presence of such dignity Of character and
grace of manner none could fail to love the
man. IL was said of Lincoln that probably
no man since the days OF Washington was
ever so deeply cnshrined In the hearts Of
the people. but II Is true OF Mckinley In a
larger sense. Industrial and social condi-
tions are such that he was, even more than
his predecessors, the friend Of the whole
people.
1t Is glorious thing TO he able to say in
this presence, with our illustrious dead be-
fore US, that he never betrayed the conf
deace OF his countrymen. Not for personal
gain or pre-eminence would he mar the beau
~ OF his soul. He Kept IL clean and white
before God and man. and his ha nds were uu-
sullied by bribes. His eyes looked right
on. and his eye-lids looked straight before
him. He was sincere. plain and honest
just, benevolent and kind He never disap-
pointed those who believed In him, but meas
ured up to every duty. and met every re-
ssponsibility in life grandly and unninch-
ingly.
Not only was our President brave. heroic
and honest, be was as gallant a knight as
ever rode the lists for his lady love in the
days when krighthood was In flower II Is
hut Few weeks since the nation looked on
with tear-dmmed eyes as II saw with what
tender conjugal devotion he sat at the bed

fataI illness was upon her. No public
ciamor that he might show himself to the
poPulace, no demand Of social function was
Sufficient TO draw the lover from the bedside
Of his wife. He watched and waited while
We all prayed-and she lived. This sweet
and tender story all the world knows. and
the world knows that his whole life had run
In this one groove OF love. Ii was a strong
arm that she leaned upon, and ii never failed
her.

ful was the act he was about to perform.
how utterly heartiesS the deed methinks
he would have stayed bis hand at the very

Leon Czolgosz, the assassin of William
Mckinley, has but few weeks to live.
1t is believed that the trial will be ended
by verdict of guilty rendered in three
days and that soon Leon Czolgosz will
be under death watch at Auburn. Six
weeks must intervene between the pro-
nouncement of the death sentence and its
execution.
The witnesses who will testify before
the grand jury are the secret service men,
Ireland and Foster. Frank O'Brien of the
coast defense guards. and number of
eye witnesses. The attorney assigned to
defend Czolgosz will receive $500 from
the State.
The only defense imaginable is insan.

Immediately after the services the
remains of the late President We're
taken to the Buffalo City Hall, and
there lay in state from l o'clock in the
afternoon until IL o'clock at night.
More than twice as many as could hope
to get through the lines in that time
came from all over western New York
until fully 100000 were massed during
the morning. For nearly ten hours
they streamed through the City Hall
corridor where the President lay, pass
ing in two lines which formed faster
than they melted. Ten thousand an
hour flowed past until stormy weather
and physical collapse wore out other
thousands and the thinned lines ended
at II o'clock at night. When the doors
We're closed it was estimated that over
10000 persons had viewed the remains.
The body of the President was guarded
throughout the night by United States
soldiers. and at 80 o'clock Monday
morning it was removed from the City
Hail. and under escort of soldiery taken
to the union station, from whence fun
eral train went direct to Washington.
Over the hills and through the valleys
that lie between Buffalo and the seat of
government moved the funeral train
which bore to the capital all that was
mortal OF the dead President. As it roll
ed slowly past city and village. town and
hamlet, its silent burden lying in solemn
state beneath the folds of the flag. all in
full view in the great funeral coach, the
people of the land gathered at every sta
ton to pay sad tribute TO him who gov
erned them. Manifesting itself all along
the route there was an excess of grief, n
depth of sorrow, 4 heartfelt anguish that
tells better than aught else the place that
America has reserved for William Me
Kinley in its roll of those it loved the
best. The entire route was lined with
thousands of weeping and sad-faced men.

That journey from Buffalo with the
body of President Mckinley was a jour

veterans and societies stood with draped
banners and bare heads all along the
route. The black drapery of mourning
was everywhere TO be seen. No home
was too humble for a mute expression Of
sorrow Rich and poor alike wore the
garb OF grief. Great crowds OF people
gathered along the route. They made
banks of the fields and at the road cross
ings. They covered houses and fences
and piles OF lumber. They perched upon
locomotives and cars and roofs and fac
tories. All barred their heads as the train
swept by. Schools We're closed for the
hour. and in front of them stood the lit
tie boys and girls. Many Of them held
flowers and some had tiny flags -draped
with black. At every school house there
is a flagstaff from which fOated the ma

After the wonderful journey from Buff

the Washington station Monday night at

assembled to greet it. Historic Pennsyl-
