Charles A. Dana of the New York
Sun was a man Of extensive learning
and attached great importance to col
lege training, but was quick to recog-
nize the value of the practical educa-
ton that a man of good parts may pick
up in this workaday world outside of
university walls.
A young man went to The Sun office
one day and asked to see the editor in
chief. He would not be rebuffed by the
subordinates and after some delay was
admitted. He stated his business with
out a moments loss of time.
'sAIr. Dana" he said, II believe 1
could be of some use ON this paper, and
l want you to give me a trial If you
don't find me of any use, you needn't
pay me any salary, and if you do 1
shall want a good salary. If l don't
find my proper groove in a month, you
can drop me OUT
Mr.. Dana looked him over.

looks. Have you ever attended any in

SERVICES AT MILBURS HOUSE.
Relatives And Friends Gather for Their
Last Farewell.

Buffalo, Sept. 1.-THE funeral of
William Mckinley, the devoted hus-
band. loyal friend. and type of all that
Is best in the simple American citizen
took place in the house wherein he
died, at Il o'clock Sunday morning.
Only the presidents wife, his rela-
tiyes, his personal friends, and his Of
fetal family were gathered for their
last farewell. 1t was simply the fun
eral Of William Mckinley, the man.
The extremity OF pathos was
reached when, before the ceremony.
Mrs. Mckinley, the poor, grief-crushed
widow. had been led into the chamber
by her physician. DIR. Rixey. and had
sat awhile alone with him who had
supported and comforted her though
all their years of welded life. Her
support was gone, but she had not
broken do~a. Dry-eyed, she gazed
upon him. She fondled his face. She
did not seem to realize he was dead.
Then sine was led away 10 the head
of the stairs. where she could hear
the services. The scene at the bier
when President Roosevelt and Senator
Hanna looked upon the dead face of
Mckinley was very impressive.
The stately procession which started
from the house after the services and
wound away toward the city hall. with
military escort and to the solemn Fa-
frain of funeral music, was the begin
ming of the formal tribute the Ameri-
can people are paying to their late
chief magistrate Eighty thousand
people passed through the city hall
and viewed the remains of the dead

The minutes were now flying and It
was 21j o'clock. Silent and notion

about the bedside. Or. Rixey leaned
forward an placed his ear close to the
breast Of the expiring president.
Then he Strengthened up and made an
effort to speak.
The president Is dead he said
The president had passed away
peacefully, without the convulsive
struggle of death. 1t was as though
he had fallen asleep. As they gaZed
on the face of the martyred presl-

broke the silence Of this chamber Of
death. Mr. Cortelyou had been one Of
the first TO rouse himself after the

Countryman Admitted Under n Misap-
prehensiOn-Mr. Wu's Complaint.

prehensfOn-Mr. "u's Complaint.
A week ago Ho Vow, the Chinese consul
general at San Francisco, requested Mr..
WI, the Chinese minister here to obtain
admission for three Cinnamon who were
detained by the immigration officials at
San Francisco, the ground being that they
were representatives of the Chinese gov
ernment coming to this country on official
business. The names We're given as Su
Shihchin, Loo Gilman and Sieh Smuggling.
The State Department made the request of
the treasury. which directed the admission
of the three men.
Mr. Ho Vow afterward discovered that
he had been imposed upon in the case of Su
Shlhchtn, and Immediately teIegraphed to
Minister WI, who went to the State De-
partment and withdrew his recommends
ton as to that individual. Mr. Ho Vow has
notified Mr.. WI that he thinks he knows
where Shu Shihchin is, and will cooperate
with the United States officials in securing
his arrest and return to the ship that
brought him over. The action of the
Chinese officials has been most honorable
in the case. and is much appreciated by
the treasury officials.
While at the treasury today Mr. Wu took
occasion to protest against the stringent
manner in which the exclusion laws are
being enforced at San Francisco He said
that many Cinnamon We're being shut out
at that port who are entitled to land He
further thought that each Chinaman should
be allowed a full hearing with an attorney
If he so desired.
