PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.
Official Announcement Made of the
Death of Ex.President Benz. Harri-
son-Observaaces Directed.

WAsHIsGroS, March 1.-The ma
tional capital is in mourning today
for ex-President Harrison. Flags are
at half mast, not only upon all the
public buildings but upon the hotels,
stores and many of the private resi-
dences. The act of 1898 inhibits the
draping Of public buildings in black,
as was the custom formerly upon the
death OF an ex-President.
President Mckinley, who was deep
ly affected by the death OF General
Harrison, directed that the doors OF
the executive mansion be closed to
visitors and denied himself to callers
except those who had business OF
urgent Importance.
President Mckinley today issued a
proclamation formally notifying the
people of the country OF the death OF
their former Chief Magistrate and di-
recting the observance Of a period OF
mourning for thirty days. In pursu-
ancs OF this proclamation the flags on
every public building in the United
States, at every army post in the
United States, Cuba, Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines, and on
every American warship in whatever
quarter Of the globe, will fly at half
mast for thirty days. The proclama-
ton is as follows:
EXECUTIVE MANSION.
Washington, March IA, 1901
TO the People of the United States:
Benjamin Harrison, President of the
United States from 1889 to 1893, died
yesterday at 4:45 O'Clock p. NJ. at his
home in Indianapolis In his death the
country has been deprived OF one OF its
greatest citizens.
A brilliant soldier in his young man
hood he gained fame and rapid advance
ment by his energy and valor. AS law
yer he rose to be a leader at the bar. In
the Senate he at once took and retained
high rank as an orator and legislator;
and in the high office OF President he dis
played extraordinary gifts as administra-
tor and statesman. In public and in
private life he set Il shining example for
his countrymen.
In testimony of the respect in which
his memory is held by the government
and people of the United States, | do
hereby direct that the flags on the execu-
tive mansion and the several depart
mental buildings be displayed at half
staff for a period of thirty days; and that
suitable military and naval honOrs,
under the orders of the secretaries of war
and navy, be rendered on the day of the
funeral
Done at the City of Washington. this
18th day of March, in the year of our
Lord, one thousand nine hundred and
one, and of the independence of the United
States of America, the one hundred and
twenty-ffth.
WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
BY the President.

ONE OF THE BEST MEASURES
PASSED.

One Of the best measures that the
late Legislature is responsible for is
the provision that if the individuals
of any public school district in the
county contribute $40 for a school
library the school trustees may con-
tribute $40 of the school funds, and
that the State will give an additional
so. This makes $50 that any school
district may have for a school library
without much effort. This amount
is not princely, to be sure, but it is
adequate for beginning, and the
school people and the press through
out the State should urge every COM
munity to adopt the measure. We
have long felt that one of the prob
lens of the rural schools was how to
get the old and the young to cultivate
the habit of reading, and that some
thing should be done toward the ac-
plishment of this end. This
measure is a step.-Greensboro Tee

How Senator Mason Recognised Man
That interrupted.

Senator William Il. Mason of ILL.,
nois is a good campaigner and a
great stump speaker, relates the
New York Times. His wit and elo-
quence are not Of the most refined
order, but they are just the thing
to catch n crowd. Mason is never
at los E a retort and enjoys be-
ing inter- 3.cd in a speech.
Durias o-e of his campaigns he
was getting his usual share Of in
terruptions in speech he was de-
livering at Springfield, Ills. Mason
was enjoying himself and was max
ing a great hit with the majority Of
the crowd. There was one man,
however, who tangled Mason up
somewhat. This man had imbibed
more alcohol than was good for him.
He was on the outskirts Of the
crowd, and he was asking Mason
questions in a thick voice. The
senator could not catch the ques-
tions, and as he did not at first know
what was the matter with the fell
low he stopped and attempted to
catch the question each time. He
always failed and this led to several
awkward pauses. At last Mason be-
came irritated. The next time an
interruption came from the intoxi-
Gated one Mason asked:
"Who are you?'
Don't you know me, Billy ?"
came the answer in maudlin and
swaying tones.
Mason paused. "My friend"
said he in measured and metallic
voice, 81 don't recognize your face,
but your breath is familiar"
