FITTING TRIBUTE
Washington, Sept. 1.-THE funera
procession started from the Whit,
house at O'Clock and reached the
Capitol at 1875. The Marine band
played Nearer, My God. to Thee, y
as the casket was lifted out OF the
hearse and carried up the steps.
Mrs. Mckinley remained in the
White house, the physicians fearing
that she was too weak for the Capitol
ceremony. President Roosevelt en-.
tered the rotunda, where the services
we're held at 1880. He was accom-
panied by Mrs. Roosevelt, and they
we're quickly followed by the cabinet,
the diplomatic corps and the navy.
Admiral Schley was among the naval
officers present. They were followed
by the White house corps and they in
turn by the Senate. After these came
the supreme court.
At three minutes of IL the religious
services at the Capitol were begun by
the singing of Bishop Newman 5
hymn, Lead, Kindly Light" by the
choir of the Metropolitan NJ. f..
church. The hymn was followed by
prayer by DR.. H. Il. Naylor. Bishop
Andrews began the funeral Grafton at
ll:l5 O'Clock and closed at 1885
O'Clock.
He spoke in part as follows:
SIN the years TO come we will give
full utterance as TO the high states
manshlp and great achievements of
the illustrious man whom we mourn
to-day We shall not touch them to-
day. The nation already has broken
out in its grief and poured its tears,
and is still pouring them, over the
loss of a beloved man. 1t is well that
we ask this morning of what sort this
II an is, so that we may, perhaps,
knowing the moral and spiritual life
that is past, be able to shape the far
Withdrawing future. | think we must
all concede that nature and training
and--reverently be it said--the inspir-
alton of the Almighty conspired to
conform man admirable in his moral
temper and aims.
I'VE none of us can doubt, I think,
that even by nature he was eminently
gifted. The kindly, calm and equit-
able temperament, the kindly and gen.
erous heart, the love of justice and
right, and the tendency toward faith
and loyalty TO unseen powers and
authorities-these things must have
been with him from his child hood,
from his infancy; but upon them super
vened the training for which he was
always tenderly thankful and of which
even this great nation, from sea to
sea, continually has taken note.
1T was an humble home in which he
was born. 1t is beautiful thing that
to the end of his life he bent rever-
emily before that mother whose ex-
ample and teaching and prayer had so
fashioned his mind and all his aims.
The school came but briefly, and then
came to him the church with a minis
tration of power. He accepted the
truth which it taught. He believed in
God and in Jesus Christ, through
whom God was revealed
BRIBERS DIDN'T COME NEAR HIM.
"Such influences gave to us William
Mckinley. And what was he? A man
of incorruptible personal and political
integrity. | suppose no one ever at
tempted to approach him in the way
of bride; and we remember, with
great felicitation at this time for such
an example to ourselves, that when
great financial difficulties and perils
encompassed him, he determined TO
deliver all he possessed to his credi-
tors, that there should be no challenge
of his perfect honesty in the matter.
A man of immaculate purity, shall we
say? No stain was upon his escutch-
con; no syllable of suspicion that |
ever heard was whispered against his
character. He walked in perfect and
noble seli-control.
Beyond that this man had some
how wrought in him great and gem
erous love for his fellow men. He be-
lieved in men. He had himself been
brought up among the common people.
He knew their labors, struggles, ne
cessities. He loved them. Shall |
speak a word next of that which will
hardly advert to? The tenderness o
that domestic love which has so often
been commented upon? pass it with
only that word take il that no
