Mrs. Mckinley Hears the News.
At 1920 DR.. Rixey came out of the
house accompanied by Colonel Webb
Hayes, son of former President Hayes,
who is friend of President Mckinley.
They entered carriage and returned
to the exposition hospital. After DR..
Rixey had gone Director General
Buchanan said that the doctor had
broken the news in a most gentle
manner to Mrs. Mckinley.
He said that she had stood it brave
ly, though considerably affected. If
it were possible to bring him to her,
she wanted it done. DR.. Rixey as
sured her that the president could
be brought with safety from the expo
sition grounds and when he left Mr..
Milburns it was to complete all ar
rangements for the removal of the
president A big force of regular
patrolmen was assigned to the Mil
burn residence.

Many notable persons called at the
house.
The first of them came long before
the president was brought to the home.
These included members of the diplo-
matte corps. Later. some time after
the president had been brought into
the house, Governor B. B. Odell and
his private secretary, James Graham,
who were in Lockport when they
heard the news, called.
At 11:28 United States Senator
Mark Hanna arrived from Cleveland.
Among other callers were Robert T.

Presbyterian Church.

A beautifully bright, sunny day was
last Sunday, May 9Th, when occurred
the dedication services of the hand
some new Presbyterian church. Late
! last summer the building of this
church was begun and through most
of the winter the work was continued
until now the building stands complet.
ed, model of neatness, architectural
beauty, comfort and convenience, and
although not large, still for most oc-
casionS plenty large enough and seat
ing three hundred or more people. On
this beautiful Sabbath day by half-past
ten the church was well filled and
, with the lovely plants and flowers with
which the ladies had decorated the
platform and altar looked very tasty
indeed.
After the opening services, all listen
ed to very able, strong sermon from
Rev. Howell, of Lansing, synodical
missionary of the state. The financial
standing Of the church was given by
+. r.. Beecher, custodian of funds, in
which it appeared that the building
and lot had cost about $1,000 and that
1896 was still wanting to cover the in
debtedness. Rev. Howell was exactly
the right man in the right place, for
with his witty remarks and bright
jokes the subscription and money came
in spontaneously and with no undue
pressure about $645 was raised, which
was source of qualification to all
interested in the welfare of the church.
Special music had been prepared by
the choir, composed of Mrs. Beecher,
Miss Rapley, Mrs. Wallace and Messrs
Wallace and Warren and anthems and
hvnonc wara niealV rpn6arpd thrOuOh
the services. The service of dedication
as given by Rev. Ellis to the elders and
trustees was solemn and impressive
and the closing benediction was then
pronounced.
At 7:30 the building was again filled
and another most effective sermon was
preached by Rev. Howell. 1t had been
expected that DIR. Bruske, president of
Alma college was to be here, but it
was impossible at the last moment for
him to come. Mr.. Howell announced
after the sermon that he wished to
raise 800 that evening and in a short
time nearly that amount was pledged,
enough to free the indebtedness.
The music by the choir both morn
ing and evening was admirable and
called forth many words of praise, the
solo by Rada Rapley in the evening
being especially fine and appropriate.
The 'Presbyterians have now
church of their own where with great
satisfaction they can hold their SER
vices. For years haYing met in differ
ent places, they appreciate thoroughly
the comfort of now having a home.
They are deeply grateful to each and
every one who has aided them in pro-
curing this house of worship.

This Is true story about one Of the
mayors of Kansas City. He was mayor
when the incident occurred, not so very
many years ago. Two newspaper men,
both very good friends of the mayor,
were about to leave town, and they
asked Mr.. Mayor to help them cele.
brate their departure.
1t was hot day in summer, and aft
or an hour or two Of convivial indul.
gence the mayor of Kansas City was
very much under the influence of LID.
uor The newspaper men We're feeling
jovial, but they We're still able to walk
around. 1t finally became necessary to
do something for the mayor. Seeing a
fruit wagon pass. one Of the newspaper
men ran out and hailed the driver.
When he drew up to the curb, he was
asked whether or not he wanted to
make 50. He replied that he most GER
tainly did.
1t was then explained to him that a
drunken man would be stretched out In
his wagon. face toward the sky, and
that he must drive through all the bust
ness streets Of the town and then take
the man home.
Not knowing who his passenger was
to be, the driver consented. and the
joke was carried out to the letter.
Through the streets of Kansas City the
mayor of the town, stretched out on an
open wagon asleep, was driven. and
there was placard that announced the
cause of the strange plight fastened
on the back Of the wagon. The mayor
was not re-elected.-Chicago Chronicle.

An EOlian Harp,

To make an nolian harp construct a
box Of very thin pine. cedar or other
wood, five or six inches deep, seven or
eight inches wide, with length equal
to that of the window in which it is to
be placed. Across the top, near each
end, glue strip of wood half an inch
high and quarter Of an inch thick
for bridges. Into the ends Of the box
insert wooden pins, like those of vio-
lin, to wind the strings around. two
pins in each end. Make sound hole
In the middle of the top and string the
box with small catgut or first fiddle
strings. Fastening one end Of each
string to a metallic pin in one end of
the box and carrying it over the
bridges. wind it around the turning pin
in the opposite end of the box. Tune
the strings In unison and place the box
In the window. 1t Is better to have
four strings. but harp with single
string produces an exceedingly sweet
melody.

GRANTS RETREAT.
The General Went When . Police
mans Club Pointed the Way.


Speaking of nightsticks reminds me
Of seeing General Grant in his to my
mind greatest hour. the only time he
was ever beaten, and by a policeman.
l told his son, Fred Grant. of it when
be became police commissioner in the
nineties, but do not think he appre-
ciated 1t. He was not cast in his great
fathers mold. The occasion | refer to
was after the generals second term in
the presidency. He was staying at the
Fifth Avenue hotel, when one morning
the Masonic temple was burned The
fire line was drawn half way down the
block toward Fifth avenue. but the po-
lice were much hampered by the crowd
and were out of patience when I. stand
Ing by, saw a man in a great ulster
with head buried deep In the collar, a
cigar sticking straight out. coming
down the street from the hotel.
recognized him Mt sight as General
Grant. The policeman who blocked
his way did not. He grabbed him by
the collar. Swung him about and, hit
ting him resounding whack across
the back with his club, yelled out:
whats the matter with you? Don't
you see the fire lines? Chase yourself
out of here and be quick about it."
The general never said word. He
did not stop to argue the matter. He
had run up against sentinel and when
stopped went the other way. That was
all. The man had right to be there;
he had none. was never so much an
admirer of Grant as since that day. It
was true greatness. A smaller man
would have made row, stood upon his
dignity and demanded the punishment
of the policeman. AS for him, there
was probably never so badly frighten-
ed a policeman when I told him whom
he had clubred. l will warrant he did
not sleep for week, fearing all kinds
of things. No need of it. Grant prob
ably never gave him thought.-Jacob

The Legend of the snowdrop.

An old legend gives the following al
the origin of the snowdrop: After Adj
am and Eve had been driven from the
garden of Eden Eve was disconsolate.
One day as she sat silently grieving an
angel appeared and sought means to
comfort her. She longed for the flow
ers, but the fast descending snow was
wrapping the barren earth in a robe of
white.
AS the angel stood and spoke words
of hope to the weeping. repentant wom-
an he caught a snowflake, breathed
gently upon it and said
Take form. pure snowflake, bud and
blossom and be a comfort to humanity.
now and forever"
In a twinkling the snowflake changed
into a beautiful flower. as white and
pure as the snow itself. and when Eve
beheld the newborn blossom gladness
and hope came to her heart, and she
smiled through her tears.
Having fulfilled his mission of love,
the angel departed, but where he had
stood there Immediately sprung up a
circle of perfect snowdrops.

Apple Pie Order.

To feel in apple pie order Is a phrase
which dates back to Puritan times-to
certain Hepzibah Merton. 1t seems
that every Saturday she was accus-
toned to bake two or three dozen ap-
pie pies. which were to last her family
through the coming week. These she
placed carefully on her pantry shelves,
labeled for each day of the week, 80
that Tuesdays pies might not be con.
fused with Thursdays nor those pre-.
sumably large or intended for washing
and sweeping days eaten when house.

Eibah's apple pie order" was known
throughout the entire settlement and
originated the well known saying.
