THE NEW PRESIDENT.
Passes Quiet Sabbath Arranging to Attend the Funeral-BusheIso of
 Letters and TeIegrams.

Buffalo, N. r., Sept. 15.-President Roosevelt passed a very quiet day at the Wilcox house, arranging to at. tend the funeral of the late president His secretary, MT. Leob, and his as slstants were, however, kept busy opening telegrams and mail and class. flying them. Piled up on the oak ta. ble in the sitting room of the house were at least six hundred telegrams and letters, all of them expressing regret at the sad occurrence of the late president and assurance of con- hdence and support to the new pres ldent. Among those who sent tele- grams to the new president were: EX-Gov. Vincent, of Connecticut; ex. Gov. Ladd, of Rhode Island; Gov. Shaw of Iowa, who telegraphed: "You will have the loyal support of the people of Iowa in unstinted meas. ure." Gov. Richards of Wyoming, who said: May God endow ycu with abundant wisdom and discretion;" Mayor Hart of Boston; Gov. Stone of Pennsylvania, who said: "Earnestly hoplng that the curse of anarchism may be speedily lifted from our land by the passage of wise and effective laws, l hasten to assure you of loyal support" the Republican Club of Massachusetts, the National Republic an league, Tnns of America of Penn sylvania, Don. M. Dickinson, F. Norton Goddard, George E. Green, w. Bourke Cockran, Seth Low, Joseph H. Manley, Harriet s. Blaine, Rev. A. o. o. Ray mond, Lieut.-Gov. Woodruff and Book. CT T. Washington.
 The only announcement the presi- dent had to make was that MT. Ger telyou, the secretary of President Me- Kinley, would, for the present, act i1l that capacity for him, because of his knowledge of the condition of affairs. Mir. Cortelyou confirmed ;his state ment.

SABLE SYMBOLS OF SORROW.
bunaio City Of Mourners-Eighty Thou sand Persons Viewed the Dead
 Presidents Remains.

Buffalo, N. r., Sept. 15.-BuffaIo to- day became city of mourners. The gay and flaming decorations of the Pan-American exposition gave way to symbols of sorrow. The black drap- cry of the city's streets untitled the tOlling bells of the churches. Bits of crepe appeared on every sleeve, and sorrow was everywhere apparent.
 In the morning a simple service took place at the residence on Dela- ware avenue where the martyred president died. A hymn was sung and prayer was offered over the dead body. That was all. Only the imme- diate family and the friends and po- itical associates of the late president were present. The scene there was pathethic in the extreme. Then the body was born out to the waiting cortege on the brawny shoulders of eight sailors and soldiers of the re- public. The cortege passed through solid walls of living humanity, bare headed and grief-stricken, to the city hall, where the body lay in state this afternoon. The remarkable demon stration proved how close the presi- dent was to the hearts of the people.
 Arrangements had been made to al low the public to view the body from the time it arrived, at about 1:30 o'clock until about five o'clock. But the people were wedged in the streets for blocks. Two lines were formed They extended literally for miles. When five o'clock came 10000 people had al- ready passed and the crowds waiting below in the streets seemed undimin- ished.
 It was decided to extend the time until midnight. Then for hours long, CT the streets were dense with peo- pie, and a constant stream flowed up the steps of the board entrance into the hall and passed the bier.
 When the doors were closed at mid night it was estimated that 9O,0OO people had viewed the remains, but thousands of disappointed ones were still in the streets.
 The body will lie in the city hall until morning. It will be taken tc the station by a military escort to. morrow morning and at 8:3O the funeral train, consisting of seven cars will start for Washington over the Pennsylvania railroad. Mrs. McKin ley, the president, the cabinet and relatives and friends of the dead pres ident will accompany the remains.
 Mrs. Mckinley bore up bravely to- day during the service at the Mil. burn residence, and Dr. Rixey, her physician, thinks she will be able to support her trying part in the state funeral at Washington.

 Biographical Sketch.
 William Mckinley was born at Niles, Trumbull County, Ohio, January % l8A3. He attended the public schools in his ne1ghborhood until 1861, when the out break of the civil war intiam"d his ami blt1on and aroused his patriotism 10 such a degree that although only + years old he enlisted as a private soldier. His first service was in the Twenty third Ohio volunteer infantry, with which he served until the close of the war, being mustered out as captain and brevet major at the age of 21.
 He then studied law and was admitted to the bar, became a successful and popu- lar lawyer and from 1869 to 1871 was pros ecuting attorney, for Stark county, o. tention seriously to politics od was eject ed on the republican ticket to the Forty fifth, Forty-sixth, Forty seventh, Forty eighth, Forty-ninth and Fiftieth con. crosses. In the house of representatives he made himself more populAr as com mittee worker than as deblter on the floor. He made few speeches, but from the beginning he showed much interest in the tariff QffueStiOn, his first act as a rep resentative being the presentation of a pc ttion from Ohio manufacturers, asking congress to take no action in the way of tariff revision until a thorough investiga- tlon of the needs of American industries had been made. He actively supported the civil service reform bill and MT. lIol- mans resolution declaring the unearned land grants to the subsidy railroads for felt to the government. Gradually he came to be looked upon by the repub- icanS in the house as a power in the par ty, and at the republican national con VentiOn in 1888 his name was freely men, toned as a possible candidate for the presidency; but in this convention Me Kinley led the Ohio delegation, which had Sherman

a memorable and momentous visit. Dur ing it he met one of his sisters friends, a pretty schoolgirl, named Ida Saxton, the daughter of James Saxton, well-to do banker of Canton. A mere acquaintance ship was formed and when he went to Albany to study law and she to a semin- ary at Media, Pa, to complete her educa- tion, they temporarily lost sight of each other. But few years later when he re- turned to Canton to open his little law office, and she came home from school, they met again. Acquaintance ripened into friendship, and friendship into love. 1t was ambitious for struggling lawyer to seek the hand of one of the prettiest and richest girls in the town, who was already besieged by an army of suitors. But Mckinley was not daunted by rival ry, and presently won his suit-the best, as he has often said, he ever won in ali his life.
 They were married on January 25, 1871, and their domestic life has ever since been singularly happy, despite the afflic- tOnS that have come upon them. Two daughters were born to them, both of whom died in infancy. Since that time Mrs. Mckinley has been an invalid, and her husbands devotion to her has been as deeply affectionate as it has been un- tiring

WORK OF THE FISH DOCTOR.
eff ciaI Who Has Charge of the Pam American Exposition
 Aquarium.

The fish doctor at the Pan-American exhibition is a decidedly important parsonage. He takes care of his charges in health as well as in sick ness. feeds them with his own hand, tests the temperature of their water, oversees the cleaning of their tanks, and keeps as watchful an eye on them IS a trained nurse does on a fever pa tIent. Charts on the rough wall of the gallery above and behind the aquarium record the temperature of the air and water for every day, and also a list of casualties.
 A writer in daily paper accompan- jed the doctor in one of his rounds, starting at the salt water side of the gallery with a huge pan of chopped beef, liver, clans and strips of raw fish.
 Taking a handful of chopped clan ' the doctor scattered it carefully ove. the surface of the first tank, ''No keep the fish from punching up" hnme- diatey there were precipitated in the green pool enough pugnacious and live ly sticklebacks to form round every bit of clam as many rays as are worn by double daisy.
 The real Lively scene of the aquarium greenroom was the feeding of live minnoWs to the trout. A bucketful of slender minnows was brought, and aS> handful dipped up and slapped into the tank. The trout gave instant chase, leaping and flashing, and fairly inter lacing themselves in their mad rush.
 The contest was not as unfair as seemed, for minnow cannott, caught haphazard and swallowed hand. IT seized by the tail he will e4 his dorsal fin and effectually block trouts throat. He must be purst until he can be caught fairly by head when he will slip smoothly his death with barely a struggle.
 This made the chase a lively but three minutes after the appe ance of the minnows the last one h been captured, and only a fine rain silver sparllles settling slowly o(the bottom remained to tell of their fate.
 The feeding over, the hospital tank was visited. This is gather big name for simple wooden trough, with pos- sihly a dozen invalid fish in it. An a t. tendant produced sort of stretcher, which he laid across the top of the tank, the sagging cloth making a shall low bag half fu,i of water. Then with dip-net he fshed up big white fish. badly affected with fungus, and hand ed it over to the doctor. who laid it in the stretcher. -

 the exhausted fish back into the tam ' where it promptly turned wrong side up and sank to the bottom.
 "He's very weak, that fellow" said the doctor, gravely shaking his head. Only three of the patients had to be treated with salt water that day, the rest being on the high road to recov- cry. The hospital held at that time but one incurable case, a rainbow trout afflicted with cancer. Unless a surgical operation should save him he was beyond hope. The doctor sell dom resorts to the knife. For or dinary cases salt is sufficient, but in severe ones alcohol, or even a weak so- lutiOn of carbolic acid, is necessary.

all the protectionist leaders, 1t naturally followed that the Harrison administra- tIon placed the tariff question in his hands. The result of this action was the drafting of bill known as the 'McKin~ ley bill' which afterward became law. Without attempting to analyze this bill, It i IS S sufficient SUI @ to say that it placed a tariff for protection only on the highest ground taken since the time when Henry Clay first laid protection proposition be- from congress March 4, 1891, ieaving 'i his ,s ability as a legislator and tariff maker to be judged by his works, with an estab- 1891 he was nominated by the republicans for governor of Ohio, and was elocted over Gov. James B. Campbell, the demo- cratic candidate, after a most exciting campaign.
 Many will recall the great republican convention of 1896, when William McKin- ley was. first nominated for the presi- dency of the United States at St Louis. Thousands of delegates and spectators crowded the temporary structure used as a convention hall. The first day of the convention was June 16, 1896. On the third day of the convention, June IS, 1896, the names of Mckinley and Hobart were put in nomination and both were successful on the first ballot Then the nomination was made unanimous and the widest en- thuslasm prevailed among the b. 900 per- sons who thronged the big auditorium.
 When Chairman Thurston called the meeting to order on the day of the nnmi- nation the enumeration of the platform was read by Senator Foraker and the paramount issue of this platform was the money question. Teller and Cannon on that day bade the convention and party good-by. The session lasted for ten hours and resulted in the success of the gold standard.
 Four years later, June 21, 1900, in Phila- delphia, President William Mckinley was renominated by the republican party and the nomination resulted in his reelection. He was reinstalled in the position of chief executive of the nation March 4. 1901.
 His Home Life.
 If President McKinley's public activi- ties and achievements have been typical of the best Americanism. his home has been equally a typical American home. His visit to his sister, at Canton, just after the war, decided the vocation he should pursue. For another reason it was
