conscious hour on earth was spent with
the wife to whom he devoted a lifetime

lister OF the gospel, but his last words
were humble submission to the will
OF God, in whom he believed.
He was reconciled to the cruel fate
to which an assassin's bullet had con.

same spirit of calmness which has
marked his long and honorable career.
The announcement of the death of
the president was made by Webb
Hayes, who said: sit is all over"
The announcement of the news to
those waiting below was postponed

driving crowds, dense fog settled
like pail over the city. The Mil
burn house became a tomb of silence.
The lights were dimmed, visitors
were denied admittance, and the
mourning family aud their intimate
friends were speedily left alone with
their dead
Before o'clock it was clear to those
at the Presidents bedside that he was
dying, and preparations were made for
the last sad offices of farewell from
those who were nearest and dearest to
him. Oxygen had been administered
steadily, but with little effect in keep

president came out of one period of
Inconsistencies only to relapse into
another.
TOUCHING EVENTS.
But in this period, when his mind was
partially clear, occurred a series
OF events of profoundly touching char
acter. Downstairs, with strained and
tear-stained faces, members of the cab
met were grouped in anxious waiting.
They knew the end was near, and that
the time had come when they must
see him for the last time on earth.
One by one they ascended the stair
way. There was only momentary
stay of the cabinet at the threshold of
the death chamber. Then they with

and words of intense grief choking in
their throats.
HIS WIFE SAYS GOODBYE.
AFTER they had left the sickroom the
physicians rallied him to conscious
ness, and the president asked almost
Immediately that his wife be brought
to him. The doctors fell back into the
shadows of the room as Mrs. Mckinley
came through the doorway. The

physical weakness she bore up bravely

at the bedside, were; Goodbye, all,

Then his mind began to wander and
soon he completely lost consciousness.
His life was prolonged for hours by
the administration of oxygen, and the
president finally expressed desire to

Lake Erie Drying Up.

Boston Transcript.
That is the startling report that
the chief engineer of the marine
department of Canada has just
made. He has returned to Ottawa
from a tour of inspection of the
upper lakes, and states that Lake
Erie is lower than was ever known
to be the ease before. This con
dition is due, he thinks, to a series
of dry seasons, to the drain made
by the power of development works
at Niagara Falls and to the fact
that dredging the TOnawanda Canal
has made it easier for water to eS-
cape from the lake. He considers
i. imperative that the United
States Government adopt remedial
measures at an early date, else ma
vigatiOn upon its present basis will
be seriously interfered with.
