the keenest excitement on the broad
avenue but there was no semblance Of

When the news was impaired to those
down stairs, q great sigh of anguish
went up from the strong men there as
Sembled. The members of the cabinet,
senators and friends remained but a
few minutes. Then with mournful

was not one among them with dry eyes

Immediately upon the announcement.

With the momentary incident pom
the end the entire scene was one OF un-
mistakable and deep mourning. AS If
nature lent its aid to the grieving
crowds, a dense fog seemed to fall like
a pail over the city. The Milburn house
became a tomb Of silence. Lights-not
extinguished-were dimmed; visitors
were denied admittance and the mourn-
ing family Inc their intimate friends
were speedily left alone with their dis
tinguished dead.

Morning.

Milburn House, Buffalo, n. Y, Sep
TENDER 13.-President Mckinley began
to sink shortly after 2 o'clock this
morning after a critical period of twelve
hours in which alarm and hope min
gled in the emotions of those who sur
rounded him.
Shortly after . o'clock the physicians
and nurses detected a weakening of the
heart action. The pulse fluttered and
ward collapse. The end appeared to
be at hand. Restoratives were speedily
applied, but physicians fought the bat
tie with all the reserve forces of
science. Action was immediate and de-
cisive. Digitalis and strychine were
administered and as a last resort sa-
line solution was injected into the
veins.
A general alarm went speeding to the
consulting physicians and trained
nurses as fast as messengers the tele-
graph, and telephone could carry it.
The r~estoratives did not at once prove
effective and IL was realized that the
president vas in an extremely critical
condition.
That realization with shadow OF death
behind it led to another call and that a

The messengers who returned with the

storm-swept street was dramatic in its

Dennis Sewell will be long remem-
bered in this community. Generous
citizens are contemplating the erection
Of monument to his memory. Men
who had not saved so many persons
from drowning as Dennis Sewell are
wearing medals for gallantry. He
never spoke of his valorous deeds, nor
desired recognition nor fame for en-
dangering his own life in the waters
of the great river. He has achieved
fame without seeking it, far more glo-
rious than ambitious aspirants, and
different from that evanescent fame
referred to by the poet:
What is the end of fame? Ills but to
A certain portion of uncertain pa
per;
Some liken it to climbing up hill,
Whose summit, like all hills, Is lost
in vapor;
For this men write, speak, preach, and
heroes kill;
And bards burn what they call their
midnight taper
To live, when the original is dust,
A name, n wretched picture, and worse
bust.

AN IRISH PAPER ON m,K1NLEY.

The Dublin Freeman's Journal, the
leading Nationalist paper in Ireland,
devotes an editorial to the assassina,
tion Of President Mckinley, lin which
1t says:
If President McKinley's fate recalls
that Of Lincoln and of Garfield, it re-
calls them with n difference He is
the martyr Of no civil strife, the vic
tim Of no disappointed office seeker,
but falls before that outrageous breeu
that has banded itself together to de-
stroy all human government, whether
it emanates from the free votes of
free people or the irresistible tyranny
of M!litarism. American soil does not
grow the breed. Its presence is due
to that magnificent hospitality whose
''free latch-string" has admitted the
distressed Of all nations and the hunt
ed enemy of every tyranny. The as
snssination is as brutal and futile as
the assassination of Carnot or OF
Humbert, or that aged Empress of
Austria, whose sorrows crown had
hidden the glittering diadem of power
from all but the fanatic eye Of anar
chism. 1t achieves no purpose, teaches
no moral, except that the heads of
states, whether of Kingdoms or of re-
publics, must be always on their guard
against the insanity OF anarchism,
however secure they may rest in the
hearts Of their own people. 1.-THE
risks of the profession" as poor King

shared by president as we'll as by
kaiser; and the chosen Of the people
has to be as carefully protected from
these enemies Of the human race as
the emperor whose throne rests on
terrorism.
President Mckinley was first chosen
for the place of Washington by ma
jcrity of nearly a million votes in the
autumn Of 1896 His second election
was even more triumphant in the fall
Of last year. Without any Of the
snowy gifts of the more popular poll
tician he has made deep impression
upon the course Of American history.
In congress he emerged as the cham
pion of the most extreme protection

directed that growth of American i'm

Superintendent Skinner made no re-
ply and a solemn silence prevailed.
What Father Cronin said was true
and nobody attempted to gainsay it.
The New York Independent comment
ed on his remarks and said his crit
icism was just and right. But other
high schools will be dedicated through
out the country and religious services
will be carried on in them, whether
Jews and Catholics like it or not. The
Protestant sects are in the majority,
and as in the past they will have their
Bible readings, their hymn singing
and their prayers, and thank God they
have the best system of education in
the world.

the Philippine war has revealed the
real character of the movement which
President Mckinley guided. Incon>
sistent as the whole policy was with
American tradition, it was ratified be-
yond question by the Republicans of

racy. He had the reputation of being
| a man Of weak and undecided char
acter. But his hesitancy was never
more than the hesitancy of man who
did not know how far his aims would
be approved by the people from whom
he derived his power. However open
to criticism his principles may have
been from the standpoint of humani-
tarianism, it cannot be denied that
what may be practically called his
reign has synchronised with a great
outburst of material prosperity ana
industrial progress in the West. What
ever the future may have in store for
the republic, and however far its paths
have DETECTED from the ideals of the
Fathers of the Constitution, President
Mckinley was fortunate in the period
OF his power, and could boast that he
had laid no impossible burden upon
the buoyamt resources of his country.
That he should be struck down at one
OF those great celebrations where tho
triumphs Of peace, rather than the
victories of war, are honored and re-
warded is one Of those ironical cir
cumstances that are never absent
from the events of human fate.
All the civilized world will sympa-
thize with the people of the United
States i'm tlMs crime against their au-
thority and the outrage upon their
hospitality; but the keenest sympathy
will be felt in those countries where
the memory of Washington inspires
the peoples hopes. For anarchism, all
that can be done is to increase the
watchfulness that guards those char
ged with the leadership of civilized
states, and to avoid in countries where
it is an exotic and hateful presence
those plumbers that have fostered it
in less fortunate lands.

Says the London correspondent OF
the New York Tribune anent the MEM
orial services in Westminster Abbey
in honor of our late president: "There
have been signal proofs this week of
the cohesive clannishness of the Anglo
Saxon race. The spontaneous mani
festations of homage for the martyred
president throughout the English
speaking world have offered convinc-
ing evidence of the race sympathy.
That service was a sign of the essen
tial unity of the English-speaking
world, and so long as the Anglo-Saxon
race stands together the burdens and
responsibilities of the future may be
faced with courage and faith whether
in Washington or London!" What
bosh!

Says the New York Sun: 1t appears
that the climate of Dublin agrees per-
fectly with lions, however sorely it
may strain the constitutions of other
animals. All the Irish lions are of
South African descent, and it is hardly
necessary to say that in Dublin they
must be counted among the rebels. It
is to be hoped that the British gov
eminent, in view of this fact, may not
crush this lion-raising industry in Ire.

rebels though they be, are intelligent,
docile and good natured, like all Irish
born creatures, except bulls. The
king of the Dublin lions is a magni.
ficient black-maned fellow called
Caesar, and his wife is beautiful Nu-
bian ioness. Their family foots a
total, so far, Of nine, and the expecta
lions are bright. The British lion
died recently in Africa. Long Live the
Irish lions in Dublin!

In compelling prominent Dutchmen
of presumed Boer sympathies to ride
on the British troop trains in South
Africa, in order to protect them from
Boer attacks, says the Springfield Re-
publican, the British are again resort
ing to methods of warfare that have
long since been condemned by civili-
cation. In principle, this proceeding is
the same as the action of Cromwell's
soldiers, who, in storming the cathe-
dral towers and galleries at Drogheda,-
held living Irish babies and children
across their breastplates. If you can

him, What news?' to which he would
reply, Your father was cut down by

name is somewhat Pathological it
certainly is an improvement on the
