How the President Came TO Jol
the Fraternity, /,

New York,-One of the speakers
at the Masonic memorial service
there was> Deputy Garand Master
Ebert Crandall, who related the
circumstances of Mr.. Mckinley &
introduction to the Masonic order.
While in camp at Winchester, Va,
in the spring of 1865, Major McKin-
ley observed that in one Of the wards
of the hospital the federal surgeon
expended just as much earnest con-
sideration and care upon the con-
federate wounded as he did upon the
men of his own army, and he com
plimented the doctor upon the
humanity which made him forget
party differences, where upon the
doctor remarked: "These men are
Masons, and am a Mason. We are
brothers. ~
Major Mckinley replied said
Grand Master Crandall, that he want
ed to join Immediately an order
which practiced { such fine precepts
of brotherhood. In May, 1866, he

LONDON PRESS COMMENT.
Favor International Athletic Contests
: Occurring BienniaIIy.

London, Sept. 26.-"It cannot be
Denied" says The Daily Chronicle.
that the Americans have given us q
handsome beating, which cannot be
explained away. The only consolation
is that we excel as Enthusiastically in
stamina as the Americans do in dash. I"
This is fair sample of the COM
ments in the morning papers upon the
contests at Berkeley Oval. The Daily
Telegraph, which expresses itself as
highly pleased at the courtesy of
Franchot of Yale in yielding his place
to Workman of Cambridge, which it
eharacterizes as IAN excellent ex-
ample of chivalry in SPORT" admits
that there is nothing to show that the
Englishmen we're adversely affected
by the climate and says: "The two
meetings already held have been so
successful that regular biennial fix
ture would be immensely popular"

OUR MARTYRED PREsI.
DENT.
In the pride of perfect manhood,
With a smile for all around,
And a Christian grace profound,
Loved by all the loyal people
Whom one word of his could say
The observed of all Observers,
There he stood that autumn day.
Suddenly without a warning
Rang shot upon the air,
And the news that he was wounded
Thrilled the anxious people there,
Then he staggered blindly back
Though his mind retained it's sway,
And with words of hope and COM
fort
Thus he fell that awful day.
Though the pain his form was
racking
And his heart as stirred within;
Yet his thoughts were still for
others,
AS they ever yet had been.
He could see his vile assailant
In the hands of justice lay:
"Stay''-he cryed-''let none hurt
him.,
Thus he spake that dark, dark
day.
Later all the nation g future
Seemed to hang upon his fate,-
He alone was brave and hopeful
He-the noble, and the great.
Patiently the pain he suffeared-
Tried to drive their fears away;
With firm Christlilke endurance
There he lay that long, long day.
But the stricken, weeping nation
Had to face the worst at last;
And the word bowed down in sorrow
For a noble life had passed.
From the martyrs lips whisper
''Good bye all, it is Gods way,
Then His will be done"-he added
Thus he Spake- that fatal day.
see-the dying lips are moving
Listen: what the end may be;
All his sanity soul is singing
/ Nearer oh my God, to Thee
And that brave life is passing
bafits. its EARTHLY saty; zsa: =ssic.s,ss
With song and prayer tbs over;
Thus he died, that last sad day.
With the noblest of all ages
He-the worthy - lies at rest;
Peacefully, the turmoil ended
Nature folds him to her breast; i.
Where the sins and griefs of others
Can no more have power to slay,
With the martyrs gone before him
There he sleeps in peace, today.
North and south, hands clasped
together
Stand beside that open grave
And their tears unchecked are
mingling
For the man no art could save.
In our sorrow can we echo
What his dying lips cuold say?
All with tears, with prayers, with
anguish,
Thus we mourn our chief today.
Not alone in courts of glory
Lives again our loved and lost
Not alone in song and story
Though they still may paint the
cost
But forever in the memory
OF the nation he will stay;
And in all the hearts who loved
him,
There he lives indeed today,
