Painful Contrast Between the Ride of TODAY
and That of March 4.

From The Journal Barsaat, Room zS, POss

Washington. Sept 17.-On cloudy and
threatening morning in March of this
year, William Mckinley made his last
conscious journey down Pennsylvania ave-
nue. from the White House to the capitol.
1t was memorable occasion. For four
years as president he had governed so
wisely and so we'll that peace and plenty
had crowned the land and happiness had
come to all the people. His triumphant
reelection gave promise of another era
of good times and good feeling, and it
was therefore natural that from every
state and territory people should have
crowded to the capital to witness the cere-
monies of the second inaugural. The dull
gray skies brought rain and much personal
discomfort to the waiting multitudes, but
there was sunshine in every heart, and
thousands of heart beats kept time to the
music of the bands and were in sympathy
with the gorgeous trappings and brilliant
decorations of the day.
Melancholy Contrast.
This morning, under skies similar to
those which overhung the city in March,
and in the midst of occasional downpours
of rain, William Mckinley made a last

The grief of Washington is acute. 1t Is

it. 1t comes from the hearts Of the people,

Every One n Mourner.
No matter how we'll the accounts may
be written, they will come far short of
completeness No words can do justice
to the state of the mind Of the people
here, This is city Of mourning, and the
death of the president has come with all
the force of a personal bereavement to
many thousands of people who never had
the pleasure of knowing him personally.
His life among them, however, has been
an open book, and they know it thorough
ly from cover to cover. Happy will that
president be in the future of whom it can
be said as it is now being said Of William
Mckinley, that the whole people loved
him, and that that love was tenderest and
deepest among the inhabitants of the city
which was his official home and where, on
account of the closeness of the range, he
was best known.

will be promptly issued to the several
comnanies of State militia until each
command has uniforms ana equip

There will be no delay here il tae IS

At various times the pubic has been
warned Of the dangers that furk in the

agencies by which microbes may he

speaker ct q medical ASSOCIATION meet
ing in Chicago hint that even the per
son who renounces these practices Is
not safe. All the distributing agencies
by means of which men come in con-
tact with other men should be subject
to sterilization ard even "the long
hair and full beard ought to be dis.
couraged by general disapprobation.'
1t Is not depreciatins the wisdom o.
the advice to point out that apparent
ly it is becoming q dangerous matter
simply to remain alive. Even the man
who defies germs by keeping himself
close Nhorn and putting in his waking
hours in the use OF antiseptcs can
never feel wholly safe. He may have
no hair wherein the malign microbe
can find lodgmcnt, but he will still
have his throat. lungs and other or
Gaas to which the bacilli are wont 10

is exposing a field OF operation to the

only perfect safeguard would lie in

but everything above the neck, at
which point the health seeker might be
dead, but would certainly be immune

that pictures of other Democrats were
