Out under the whispering oak trees

hillside, all that is earthly of William

whole Day Given to Grief.
All day Thursday muffied drums
beat their recuiems, brasses walled out
tho 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
che 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 paralyzed mentally. During the
morning, at her urgent request. she
sat alone for time beside the cof-
fin as it 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 country the lessons
of manliness and beneficence taught by
his life.
Final Ceremonies Impressive.
The last ceremonies for the late
president were marked with dignity

Framed MoroIiffes.

There is an evolution in small things
as well as in great ones. and perhaps
it is the small things that tell which
way the winds of evolution blow. In
the days when cardboard air castles
hung from chandeliers and decorated
snow shovels leaned conspicuously
against marble mantels 1t was the
fashion to place notices worked by
feminine hands upon the walls of our
homes. These notices were usually of
ia religious character and were in the
nature Of prayer to the Deity to
t"bless our home" or feed our lambs"
lit is still the custom to hang quota
tons upon private walls, but now they
usually express the possessor's own
theory of life and serve as reminders,
of his responsibilities. A favorite quo
tation that is now winning the distinc-..
ton of wall space is from Robert Louis,
Stevenson and runs as follows: ITO be-
honest, to be klnd-to earn a little and
to spend little less, to make upon the
whole family happier for his pres-i
ence, to renounce when that shall be
necessary and not be embittered, to
keep a few friends but these without
apitulation-above all. on the same
grim condition, to keep friends with
himself-here is task for all that a
man has of fortitude and delicacy." or
course, to hang a quotation upon the
walls OF ones house is a different
thing from hanging it upon the walls
of ones heart,and 1t is quite possible
to stare every day at a hand-painted
motto without once making an effort
to make it thing of practice. but that
such sentiments should be sufficiently
popular as to be deemed worthy of
frames and places of honor upon do
nestle walls is proof of prevailing.

He had, he said coaled on the night of the 27th, at first by boats with bags, but after daylight on the 18th his vessel had gone alongside the col Her. The reason why this had not been done in the beginning. he said was that he had been apprehensive of injuring the guns of the Marblehead in the dark the weather conditions having nothing to do with the precautions. Captain McCalla said he had told Admiral Schley he could coal without difficulty at Cape Haytien. In reply to an explicit question the wit ness said that with a collier present he would not have had any difficulty in re- maining off Santiago for a considerable time. In response to questions he next related briefly the bombardment of the Colon on May 31. When asked what had been left undone to accomplish the de- struction of that vessel he said that Ad- miral Schley had failed to use his entire force in making the attack.

 Should the English government give an unfavorabIe reply, it will thereby be manifest that they dare not submit them selves to the judgment of a conscientious and impartial tribunal.
 They will then moreover continue to bear the responsibility for the prolonga- tion of a war, terrible as it is unneces- sary, and they will have acknowledged that the manner in which they have car rid on the war Is in conflict with the de- mands of humanity and civilization as confirmed by themselves.
