Beneath the great white dome OF the
capitol funeral services OF state were
held to-day over the remains OF the

conducted 10 accordance with the rites
of the Methodist Episcopal Church. OF

lies to the southwark of the United
States mingled their tears with these
of the American people.
SIMPLE AND AFFECTING.
AS the sweet notes of Mr. Mekinley's
favorite hymn, LEAD. Kindly Light,
floated through the great rotunda, the
assemblage rose to its feet. Barred
heads were bowed and eyes streameo
with tears. At the conclusion of the
HYMN, as Rev. DIR. Naylor, presiding
elder of the Washington district, rose
to offer prayer, the hush that fell upor
the people was profound. When, II
conclusion, he repeated the Lord;
Prayer, the great audience joined sol
EMMY with him, and the murmur o
their voices resembled the roll of ia
distant surf.
Scarcely had the word "Amen" beef
breathed when the words of the song
"Sometime Wen Understand" wen
straight to the heart OF every auditor
The solo was sung by Mrs. Thomas c
Moves of this city, and the refrain wa
echoed and re-echoed by the double
uuartette choir.
The venerable Bishop Edwin G. An
drews of Ohio, the oldest bishop of th'
Methodist Episcopal Church, then tool
his position at the head of the bier. A
gentle breeze through the rotunda stir
red the delicate blooms which lay upoi
the coffin, and the ''peace that passett
all understanding" seemed to rest upoi
the venerable mans countenance as h'
began his eulogy of the life and work o
VIM. Mckinley. His words were sim
pie, but his whole heart was in ever,
one of them. His tribute to the Chris
tan fortitude Of the dead Presiden
was impressive. Upon the conclusion
of the sermon the audience, as ii b,
Encouragement, joined the choir i
singing Nearer, Ny God. TO Thee
All present seemed TO be imbued wit
sentiment OF resignation as tb
divine blessing was asked ny the Rev
W. II. Chapman, acting pastor o
the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopa
Church.

 Doe, though that name gives no olew to his identity. He was found ap- parently dead on the sidewalk at three o'clock in the morning by a passer-by. The body was carried to the city hall, where the coroner, Henry Kelly, selected jury and held an inquest.
 Two doctors said heart failure and verdict was rendered in accordance. The body was taken to an undertak- ing esta blishment and had hardly been laid out when he rose up and began to sing. Coroner Kelly is also mayor of the town, and at once had ssJ ohm Doe" locked up and later fined him five dollars for disturbing the peace by singing uproariously.
 The stranger refused to tell his name, paid the fine and drove off.

According to President Frederick Star, of the University of Chicago, a man who parts his hair in the middle displays unmistakable evidence of g degenerate instinct.
 Vanderbilt university has conferred the medal of oratory, the highest honor at it's disposal, on Charles Yun Marshall, of Soo-Chow, China. He made a strong rlea for his native country, which, he argued, was des- tined to take her place among the great nations of the world.

but they did not again want for food.
 Still I noticed a little cloud on An mas face, but it was a long time before she would tell me what it was that troubled her. One day, in a burst of confidence, she said: 'sI'l tell yo wat troobles me- rse got everything ready against dee, but I've nae shrood, an I should be sac happy if I juist had shat-but I'm prayin', an do believe God will send yan tae me. Aye, but [ wad be happy an a, if I juist had a oonny shrood against I deei"
 thought long over this trouble. I lid not want to weaken her faith by supplying the money, and I knew it would grieve her if did. She would .hink it had seemed like asking, but I need not have troubled.
 She was sitting by the fire with a beaming face when I went there next time. "It's coom,'' she cried. "He heered ma prayer, an Mrs. Ritson brought me flannel gown she had nae use for. It's worn doom t front, but rse patched it oop, and the patches will never show when they fold my hands over, like this."
 Her cup was full to overfowing that day, and as looked through the lat tice window on my way down the path [ saw the two sitting together-"Jaw- seph" reading aloud from the great Bible, and Anna tenderly folding the beloved shroud, while the clocks ticked cheerily on the walls, and I thought they licked faster than usual, as if they too were rejoicing with the old watchmaker and his wife.-The Culver.

 I said nothing just then; I think felt too sympathetic with Wolf and angry with the conceited young preacher who tried to upset the simple faith of these people. I read a few verses for the old woman, and ended with passage in Hosea: ..I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely" and as closed the family Bible I saw the great tears, falling down the mans cheek and spashing on the table. ''Wull, He talk me back, dae ye think?" he asked, brokenly.
 ''Mr. Woolf, He says the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin" answered.
 There was a long silence, while the clocks ticked steadily on and on, and at last the old man laid his head on his arms and cried: Lord, Pse been a sinful an rebellious man, but wilt Thoo take me back for the sake of Jesus? Amen"
 The sun was setting when I left the little cottage. As looked through the lattice window the watchmaker was kneeing by his wife's chair, sobbing like child.
 The poor old mans heart had grown bitter in those two years.
 heard more about it later on. He had got into great passion, but the stern deacons treated him very cruel ly, and would never believe that he had any reason to be angry. The foolish young minister had so impressed them with his own cleyerness that they were ready to coincide with him in whatever he might like to say.
 But peace returned to the little cot 1 tage that night-''the peace of God which passeth all understanding" and nothing came to mar their happi- ness, until one day great grief befeI them.
 "Jawseph" granted the loan of the precious tricycle. to an inexperienced young man, who had been very press ing. They watched him wheel 1t away with fear and trembling and strong presentiment of coming evil. They were almost prepared for the bad news, when the young man appeared later on, with rueful face. He had 1 fallen into a ditch and broken the brake-he was very sorry, but had no money with which to get it mended.
 It did not seem such a terrible cal an1ity to him, but to them it meant the crushing of all their joys mo more wonderful journeys along the high road, no fresh air for the poor in yalidI
 When I heard the woeful story I of fered as delicately asI could to pay for the mending, and left half crown for the purpose. But next time I found the tricycle. still unmended, and then t was that first of all I discovered their extreme poverty.
 They "hoped I would not be angry butthey had spent the money on bread they were so hungry" My eyes filled with tears, and they looked intensely relieved that was not yexed.
 It is not easy to help north country people with their proud, independent spirit, and I had to be very careful
