GRIEF IN WASHINGTON.

NO Need OF Proclamation to Insure
Observance of the Sad Event.
Washington, Sept. 21.-Twenty years
after the death Of Garfield the nations
capitol was again in mourning; the
wheels of government were locked and
the voices of the people were uplifted
in prayer for the soul Of William Nc
kinley while his mortal remains were
being committed to the tomb in his
Ohio home. There was no need of
proclamation to insure a proper OBJ
servance of the sad event here. Every
where were to be seen badges Of
mourning. and on every Flagstaff the
ensign was at half-mast. Private and
public business was absolutely sus-
pended and every face showed signs Of
sadness. The city gave evidence in
most impressive manner that lit heart
was with Canton in the solemn hour of
President McKinley's funeral. At ex-
actly half-past o'clock the city ceased
from labor. practically from locomo-
ton, for five minutes. There was no
official proclamation requiring such OBJ
servance Of the funeral hour, nor had
there been any general agreement for
such observance. But when the hour
came; as if by common instinct, men,
women and children, white and black,
came to- a sudden halt in whatsoever
they were engaged and sat or stood as
still as statues wheresoever they
CHANGED to be. Men on foot and on BIZ
cycles, the drivers Of carriages and
draft wagons, chaffeurs and trainmen
stood in mute supplication for the
dead. Street cars throughout the city
We're at a standstill, and generally the
car opera lives and their passengers
united in a silent service which caused
spectators to look on as if it We're "tha
hush OF being newly born 1t was a
beautiful contribution to the nations
breath of prayer, and it is safe to say
that Washington never before in it's
history beheld so unique and striking,
nor SO spontaneous and unconventional
token of respect and love for any
man.!
