Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept.
14.-President Mckinley died at
2:15 a. m. He had been uncon-
scious since 80 p. m.
His last conscious hour on earth
was spent with the wife to whom
he devoted a life of care. He died
unattended by a minister of the
gospel, but his last words were an
humble submission to the will of
the God in whom he believed
He was reconciled to the cruel
fate to which an assassin's bullet
had condemned him and faced
death in the same spirit of calm
ness and poise which had marked
his long and honorable career.
The President in his last period
of consciousness, which ended
about 1880, chanted the words OF
the hymn "Nearer My God, to
Thee" and his last audible con-
scious words as taken down by
DR.. Mann at the bedside were
"Good-bye, all, goodbye. 1t is
Gods way. His will be DONE"
Powerful heart stimulants, in
Guiding oxygen, were employed
to restore him to consciousness
for his final parting with his wife
He asked for her and she came
and sat by his side, holding hi
hand. He consoled her and bad'
her goodbye. She went through
the heart-trying scene with tn
same bravery and fortitude will
which she has borne the grief o
the tragedy which ended his life
The Presidents remains will b.
taken to Washington and Their
will be q State funeral.

barely alive; his breathing wa

THE PRESIDENTS DEATH

died at Buffalo, New York, at
2:15 A. NJ, on the 10Th instant.
William Mckinley was truly the
American President. Beyond
any other of his party he has knit
together all the people. The South
and North loved him with like
devotion. Hey liked and trust
ed by all men of both parties.-
If ever there was a great leader
incapable of malice it was the
suffering hero who breathed his
last at 2:15 on Saturday morning.
The patience, the consideration,
the amiable tolerance of William
Mckinley exceeded any instance
among the statesmen of this gen.
Grafton. If he ever was partisan
his burdens, grevious and varied
and his fast-crowded cares, we'll
nigh too many and too great, long
ago left in him only the patriot.
He was a man whose American
ism was of the best and most
wholesome type. His public SER
vice was eminent and admirable.
He won admiration by his mode
ration, his freedom from personal
vanity and his mastery combina-
ton of high principle with prac-
teal common sense. Whatever
may be thought of some of his
views concerning certain pending
questions, no doubt is possible
regarding the motives which led
him to express them. No more
genuine American, no more de-
voted lover of his countrymen,
has lived in these latter days.
William Mckinley was Christ
ian, a brave man, a good man and
q patriot. AS such he added
lustre to the exalted position he
occupied.
We have watched him as Pres
ident, and marveled to see hin
grow 80 bipartisan, strong anc
great and patriotic. His strength
, his powers, his broad views, his
firm grasp, his clear vision ane
high courage always revealed his
great craftsmanship. His is :
great place in our history and il
the worlds history. His martyr
DON has happened at the china:
of his career, at the height of GU
prosperity at home and our pres
tige abroad. Thenceforward hi
name belongs to the ages.
A beloved President has bee
stricken down in the midst of hi
people by an assassin, and tn
whole people of the United State
mourn his death.

Chicago Chronicle: So far, the
Philippines have not been pro-
life source of wealth for Ameri-
can commerce. The increase in
a year has been immense, calcu-
lated on a per cent. basis, but the
total amount of American trade
at Manila as compared with the
trade of Europe is hardly worth
counting. The total amount of
American products imported at
Manila during the seven months
of 1901 was 81, 493, 500. The to-
tai amount of European products
was nine million dollars. For the
same time Manila exported to
European countries eight millions
worth of products, and to the
United States only two millions
worth of products. ''Opening
Oriental commerce" has benefited
Europe about four times as much
as it has the United States, and
we paid the expenses of an unjust
war.

scarcely discernible. His pulse
had practically stopped and his
extremities were cold. The fare
wells to his wife and others near
est him had been spoken. Drs.
Mann and Janeway, the eminent
heart specialists, who arrived at
midnight from New York, went
to his bedside at once. DR.. jane
way concurred with the other
doctors that there was no hope.
The following resolution which
was unanimously adopted by Jo-
seph E. Johnston Camp, United
Confederate Veterans, at Dalton,
Ca, demonstrates in what high
esteem President Mckinley was
held as statesman and a gentle
man by the old soldiers of that
vicinity. The resolution was
adopted on the 9th instant. 1t
follows:
Resolved by Joseph E. John
ston Camp, No. "a, United Con-
federate Veterans, That we have
heard with the utmost horror and
detestation of the dastardly at
tempt upon the life of President
William Mckinley, and we pray
and trust that a kind and over
ruling Providence will spare to
his family and the country the
life of this kindly Christian gen.
tleman.
"Differing from him politically
as many of us do, we yet hold him
in high regard, not only on &C
count of his ability as a states
man, but also on account of the
kind and generous sentiments
expressed by him toward the
Confederate soldiers and their
dead"

SEA SCARE AND PRAYER.
Remarks by Dr. Parkhurst on the
Praycriess Overland Route.

Praycriess Overland Route.
"DevoutneSs goes ont of our hearts
just as fast as comfort comes into ours
bodies. We thank God when we are
hungry and forget him when we have
enough. That is why the blessing
comes at the beginning of the dinner
rather than at the end. This having
body and soul tied up in one bundle is a
precarious experiment To be one-half
dirt and the other half divinity is awk-
ward Great devoutness is likely TO be
tied to body that is skinny, and full de-
velopment of body is the easy accompani-
mcnt of IL soul that is emancipatcd.
Pastors are often asked tc put mp
prayers for those in distress. disappoint-
ment, bereavement, indulgence. y man
who is making money needs more pray
ing for than the man who Is losing it.
The man who has Astounding health is
more in danger than the one who is in
valided. Sense Of suffciency is a foe to
saintliness and rubS devotion clean out.
We are, at any rate not inclined to trust
in God and to lean upon him so long
as the appearance is that only our own
resources and ingenuity are requisite.
1T is approximately the same distance
fren New York TO California as from
New York to Liverpool. Now, first and
last a good many members of this CON
grrgation have asked that prayer might
be made for themselves and their friends
when about to sail for Europe. But so
far as | remember. not soul ever solic-
tied from me such prayerful remem-
brance when about TO sail for San Fran
Cisco-by the overland route, of course.
Land is more solid than water and the
thought is that il takes less God to see
train safely across the continent than
TO see a boat safely across the Atlantic.
At the request of friends | have prayed
a good many people across from Sandy
Hook 10 Queenstown, but in only two
instances, | think. have | ever been
asked to return thanks to God for their
having got safely over. People are de
won't when they are a little frightened of
atheistic when they strike terra frna.
There are no such lively prayer meetings
as those that have been held on the decks
of vessels that were laundering or afire
