ident McKinley's funeral at Washing
ton and also accompanied the remains
TO Canton, Ohio.
The other members OF the North
Carolina delegation to Canton were
Senators Pritchard and Simmons and
Representatives Pou, Thomas and w.

Perhaps the largest crowd ever as
sambled in Washington was present to
witness the the ceremonies there and
mast certainly the largest crowd OF PEG.
ple ever assembled in the nation was at
Canton. North Carolina was as well
represented as any State at Washing
ton and no other State delegation from
Washington to Canton was as large
a. the North Carolina delegation.
Mr.. Kitchin says the people knew
no party differences or preferences,
but met in multitudes at Canton to dc
honor to the nations great chief mag
istrate.
William Mckinley was President o
the United States and the people me
together and mourned his death ani
loss us such. He was greatly honoret
throughout the land and nowhere wa
the sortow at his death so pointed,
emphasized as at Canton, his own hom'
whera the people knew him best.
Ilr. Kitchin says Canton is beau
t!tul city OF 81 900 inhabitants and j
much OF manufacturing centre. HI
says he was struck with the fact tina
Ohio people are much like North Cal
olinians and be found them clever an

this poison and destroying the crali ing

which has been perfected after many
years of close study and treatment of

to directions Of this wonderful discov-
cry is positively guaranteed to cure the
most obstinate case, no matter how

our orphans homes las not de-
creased, We find that the average
time they are kept therein has beer
greatly lessened. In 1896 the av
|erage length Of stay Of each child in
an orphans home was three years
Last year it had been reduced tc
2O.64 months. This is a saving Of
over 100000 year by reason OF
this reduced time. While our chill.
dren remain an average of year
and two-thirds 10 our orphans
homes, those in Michigan average
but few weeks in the State Public
School.
AS we come to appreciate that
over half the boys in the reform
schools and reformatories have
never known what home was, we
feel more strongly that this child
saving work is really that Of saving
the children.
The possibilities of this work are
great, both from a financial and
phi lanthropic point Of view.
