ANNOUNCED TO WATERS

Buffalo, Sept. IA, 2:20 a.. m.-The
announcement of the death to the
members of the cabinet was made by
Webb Hayes, who said: ct is all
over" Mrs. Mckinley last saw her
husband between II and y o'clock.
At that time she sat by the bedside
holding his hand. The members of
the cabinet were admitted to the
sick room singly at that time.
The actual death occurred probably
about 2 O'Clock, it being said that DR..
Rixey delayed the announcement
~momentary to S himself. The
announcement of the news to those
waiting below vas postponed until
the members of the family had with
drawn. Through Secretary Cortelyou
the waiting newspaper men received
notification. There was the keenest
excitement, in the broad avenue but
there was no semblance of disorder.
When the news was impaired to
those downstairs, great signs of
anguish went up from the strong men
there assembled. The members of
the cabinet, senators and close
friends, remained but a few minutes.
Then, with m%ournful tread and bow
ed heads they came out into the dark
ness and went away. There was not
n among them with dry eyes and
some moaned in the agony of grief.
The military guard was augmented
Immediately upon the announcement.
Waiting crowds melted away rapidly,
giving expression in unmistakable
terms to the great sorrow they felt.
Within a brief space. of time the news
paper men, policemen, sentries of the
guard, and those whose duties kept
them about were the only persons in
evidence within the immediate vi
cinity.

DIED AS HE HAD LIVED
Remains Will Be Taken to Ma
tional Capital Where Funeral
Will Be Held.

Mi1burn House, Buffalo, Sept. IA
President Mckinley died At 2:15. He
had been unconscious since 7:5(
p. m.
His last conscious hour on eartt
was spent with his wife to whom he
devoted a lifetime of care. He died
unattended by a minister of the COS
pei, but his last words were a humble
submission to the will of the God in
whom he believed.
He was reconciled to the cruel fate
to which the assassin's bullet had
condemned him, and faced death in
the same spirit Of calmness and poise
which has marked his long and hon,
orable career. His last conscious
words, reduced to writing by DR..
Mann, who stood at his side when
they were uttered, were as follows:
Good bye all, good bye. 1t is God'c
way. His will be done
His relatives and the members of
his official family were at the .,lilburn
house. except Secretary Wilson, who
did not avail himself of the oppor-
tuAity. Some others of his personal
and political friends also took leave
Of him. This painful ceremony was
simple. His friends came to the door
of the sick room took a longing
glance at him and turned tearfully
away. He was practically uncon-
scious during this time.
But powerful heart stimulants, in
store him to consciousness for his
final parting with his wife. He ask
ed for her and she sat at his hide and
held his hand. He consoled her and
babe he good bye. She went through
the heart trying scene with the same
bravery and fortitude with which she
has borne the grief of the tragedy
which ended his life.
The immediate cause Of the presi-
dents death is in doubt, his physi-
clans agree it will possibly require
an autopsy to fix the exact cause.
The presidents remains will be
taken to Washington and there will
be a state funeral.
Vice President Roosevelt, who now
succeeds to presidency, may take the
oath of office wherever he happens to
hear the news. The cabinet will, Of
course, resign in a body and President
Roosevelt will have the opportunity
Of making a new cabinet if he so de-
sires.

WAITING FOR THE END

Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. Is
Before 6 O'Clock it was clear to those
at the presidents bedside that he
was dying and preparations were
made for the last sad offices of fare
well from those who were nearest
and dearest to him. Oxygen had been
administered steadily, but with little
effect in keeping back the approch
of death. The president came out of
one period Of Inconsistencies only
to relapse into another. But in this
period, when his mind was partially
clear, occurred a series of events of
a profoundly touching character.
Down stairs, with strained and teal
stained faces members of the cabi-
net were grouped in anxious waiting.
They knew the end was near and that
the time had come when they must
see him for the last time on earth.
This was about 6 O'Clock.
One by one they assembled the
oIoil way, oSSi StdIN IOot. SttIEldIN
Hitchcock and Attorney General
Knox. Secretary Wilson also was
there but he held back, not wishing
to see the president in his last agony.
There was only a momentary stay of
the cabinet officers at the threshold
Of deaths chamber. Then they with
drew, tears streaming down their
faces and words of intense grief
choking in their threats.
After they left the sick room the
physicians rallied him to conscious
ness and the president asked almost
Immediately that his wife be brought
to him. The doctors fell back into
the shadows of the room as Mrs. Nc
Kinley came through the doorway.
The strong face of the dying man
lighted up with a faint smile as their
hands were clasped. She sat beside
him and held his hand. Despite her
physical weakness, she bore up brave
ly undere the ordeal.
The president in his last period
of consciousness which ended about
7:45, chanted the words of the hymn,
Nearer. My God to Thee" and his
last audible conscious words as re
ported by DIR. Mann who was at the
bedside we're: "Good bye, all; good
bye. It is Gods way, His will be

be administered by a justice Of the
United States supreme court, al
though that procedure is adopted
when circumstances permit.
Without unseemly haste members
of the cabinet will tender their resig-
nations and the new president will
then be free to initiate his own policy
and choose his own cabinet. There
is little possibility tonight that Mr..
Roosevelt will get here. Ansley Will
cox, who entertained the vice presi-
dent when he vas here last, said that
the best information he had was that
Mr.. Roosevelt would be here tomor-
row morning and not until in the
morning. He said that the vice pres.
ident would be unable to reach a rail
road station much before A o'clock
tomorrow morning and that would
bring him here about noon tomorrow.
Mr.. Wilcov said in explanation of Mr..
Roosevelt's being so far out Of touch:
"The vice president was at all
times very optimistic and when he
went away was absolutely positive
that the president would recover and
the convalescence would be rapid. He
occurrences"
Shortly after midnight the presi-
dents breathing was barely p%ercepti-
BILE. His pulse had practically ceased
and extremeties were cold. 1t was
recognized that nothing remained but
the last struggle, and some of the
friends of the family who had remain
ed through the day, began to leave
the house, not caring to be present
at the final scene.
Such an intense state of anxiety
existed among the watchers that
rumors gained frequent circulation
that death had already actually oc-
Cured. The arrival OF the coroner
gave rise to one such umor and,
some groundless dispatches were sent
saying that the end has come. These
were speedily set at rest by an Of
fetal statement from within the
house that the reports of death were
groundless and that the president
was still alive.
Coroner Wilson said that he had
been ordered by the district attorney
Of the county to go to the Milburn
residence as soon as possible after
the announcement of death. He had
seen a reputable local paper issued
with the announcement that the pres
ident died at 11:06 p. m. and had hur-
ried up so there would be no delay in
removing the body. He was very
much chagrined when DR.. Mann met
him at the door and told him that his
services were not required and that
he would be notified when he was
wanted. DR.. Mann said that the pres
ident was still alive and that DR..
Janeway was examining his heart ac-
ton. There was really no hope, but
they did not desire grusome antici-
patton.

Reina V. Wright, a talented young
girl of Oshkosh, Wis, has mastered
the language of birds in a manner
which enables her perfectly to under
stand their conversation. Miss Wright,
who is now is, has made a study Of
bird sounds since she wal - years old.
She began by talking to her feathered
friends in their own tongue, and was
soon gratified by noting her power of
calling them together and imposing ST.
lence upon them while she trilled their
songs. The birds not only listen, but
answer her, sometimes in chorus and
again n at a time. Miss Wright is
now a teacher of elocution at Grafton

Nebraska and come hither when a
child Of 3. She has been a student in

direction of President Edgerly. She
was graduated last year and then re-

News and Views


Gov.-Gen. Wood dissolved the Cuban
constitutional convention last week, It's
labors having been completed. The
next step in order will be the election
OF a president and legislative assem-
bly,, and then the youngest Of repub-
lies will be ready to take It's place in
the family Of nations.
The first president of the republic
will undoubtedly be Tomas Estrada
Palma, one of the most distinguished
and ablest of the Cuban patriots. He is
the son Of a rich Cuban planter and
was educated at the University Of Sc
vile, in Spain.
When he returned to his home with
a lawyers diploma he did not try to
secure a practice and make the best
of the %unfavorable conditions about
him. He became an agitator for rev
olution. His mother, who was also a
revolutionist, was arrested and con-
fined in prison, where she died from
starvation in 1868. Her death left
young Palma sole heir to a rich es-
tate, which the Spanish government
confiscated because of his political ag-
itation.
His prominence in the agitation Of
1868 and in the subsequent hostilities
caused his election as president of the
Cuban republic, but after nine years Of
resistance he was captured in 1877 and
remained a prisoner in the hands Of
the Spaniards until the revolution
came to an end in the following year.
He was offered the return of his es-
tate If he would take the oath of allie
glance and become r%econciled to the
crown, but he chose exile instead. He
went to Honduras and began the oc-
cupation of a school teacher, but was
oon elected acknowledgement In
Honduras he married the daughter Of

well at first, but started again with a

added to his holdings, until now he has
more sheep than any other man in the
world. He has more acres of land than
sheep, and his possessions are in the
best parts of Australia. One of his
farms, on the Darling downs, is thir-

Altogether he owns more than 1000, 900

Some people predict that the day is
not far off when the p%easantry Of
France will rise up in a mass against
scorchipg motorists. In certain dis
tricts whole villages have already
united in anti-automobile campaigns
the method Of warfare employed oOn-
slsting in strewing roads with nails
and broken bottles. This has been
done in Normandy, but the glass and
bits Of iron were found to damage
horses feet as much as automobile
tires, and, moreover, rendered cycling
an impossibility for the many coun-
try laborers in France who ride to and
from their work. So that plan of cam
paign had to be given up. Now peas
ants in some parts contemplate resort
ing to nothing less than lynch law.
In certain districts villagers seriously
talk of going about, fowling pieces In
hand, and winging motorists who tear
trough hamlets and small towns at 90
miles an hour.

One of the most remarkable sermons
ever heard in Covington, KY, was
preached at the First Baptist church,
Sunday, by Metz Joiner, a boy preacher
just nine years of age, who held one
of the largest congregations ever seen
in this town enraptured for thirty
minutes, while he delivered a wonder
full sermon. People tiocked from the
country all around to hear this won
derful little preacher. The church was
packed and many people had to leave,
as they could find no room. The little
preacher entered the pulpit in a calm
and deliberate manner, and before be-
ginning asked the ladies to kindly re-
move their hats so that people in the
back Of the church could see. Then he
requested the undivided attention Of
the congregation.
