Cardinal Gibbons Tribute.

In the annals of crime it is difficult
to find an instance of murder so afro
the assassination of Mr.. Mckinley. Some
reason or pretext has been usually assigned
for the sudden taking away of earthly rulers.
Balthasar, the impious king of Chaldea,
spent his last night in reveling and drunk
enne9s. He was suddenly struck dead by
the hand Of the Lord. How different was
the life of our chief magistrate! No court
III Europe or in the civilized world was more
conspicuous for moral rectitude and purity,
or more free from the breath of scandal,
than the official home of President McKin-
ley, He would have adorned any court in
ChristendOm by his civic virtues.
The redeemer of mankind was betrayed
by the universal symbol of love. If l may
reverently make the comparison, the Presi
dent was betrayed by the universal emblem
of friendship. Christ said to Judas, Friend
betrayest thou the son of man with ktss?"
The President could have said to his slayer:
"Betrayest thou the head of the nation with
the grasp of the hand?'
The domestic virtues Of Mr.. Mckinley were
worthy of all praise. He was model hus-
band. Amid the pressing and engrossing
duties of his official life he would from time
to time snatch few moments to devote to
the invalid and loving partner of his joys
and sorrows. Oh, what change has come
over that afflicted woman. Yesterday she
was the first lady of the land. To-day she is
q diScOnSOlate and DrOken-hearted widow.
Let US beseech Him who comforted the wild
ow Of Main that He console this lady in her
hour of deSOlatiOn.
The strongest shield of our chief magis-
trate is the love and devotion Of his fellow
citizens. The most effective way to stop
such crimes is to inspire the rising genera
tion with greater reverence for the consti-
tuted authorities and a greater horror for
any insult or injury to their person. All Sc
ditious language should be suppressed: In
cendiary speech is too often incentive to
criminal acts on the part of many to whom
the transition from words to deeds is easy.
Let it be understood, once for all, that the
authorities are determined to crush the SER
pent of aanrchy whenever it lifts its venom
Gus head.
What beautiful spectacle to behold pray
ers ascending from tens of thousands of tenn
plies throughout the land, to the throne of
mercy. Is not this universal uplifting of
minds and hearts to God a sublime profess
sion of our faith and trust in himI

EXTRACTS FROM THE
! FUNERAL SERMON AT CANTON
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

1t was characteristic Of our beloved Presi-
dent that men met him only to love him.
They might indeed differ with him, but in
the presence of such dignity of character and
grace of manner none could fail to love the
man. 1t was said of Lincoln that probably
no man since the days of Washington was
ever so deeply enshrined in the hearts OF
the people, but it is true of Mckinley in
larger sense: Industrial and social c0ndi-
tons are such that he was, even more than
his predecessors, the friend of the whole
people.
1t Is a glorious thing to be able to say in
this presence, with our ilustrous dead be-
fore us, that he never betrayed the conf
dence of his countrymen; Not for personal
gain or pre-eminence would he mar the beau
~ of his soul. He kept 1t clean and white
before God and man. and his hands were I'M
sullied by brides His eyes looked oIe : right
him." He was sincere, plain and honest,
just benevolent and kind. He never disap-
pointed those who believed in him, but meas
ured up to every duty, and met every re-
sponsibility in life grandly and unfinch-
lngly.
Not only was our President brave, heroic
and honest; he was as gallant knight as
ever rode the lists for his lady love in the
days when knighthoCd was in flower. 1t is
but few weeks since the nation looked on
with tear-dimmed eyes as it saw with what
tender conJugal devotion he sat at the bed
side OF his beloved wife when all feared that
a fatal illness was upon her. No public
clamor that he might show himself to the
pOpultCc, no ueIu&-lu Oh u social Junction was
sufficient to draw the lover from the bedside
of his wife He watched and waited while
we all prayed-and she lived. This sweet
and tender story all the world knows, and
the world knows that his whole life had run
in this one groove of love. 1t was a strong
arm that she leaned upon, and 1t never failed
her.
Could the assailant have realized how aw-
full was the act he was about to perform.
how utterly heartless the deed, methinks
he would have stayed his hand at the very
threshold of it. In all the coming years
men will seek in vain to fathom the enormi
ty of that crime.
Had this man who fell been a despot,
tyrant, an oppressor, an insane frenzy to rid
the world of him might have sought excuse,
but it was the peoples friend who fell when

All our people loved their dead Presl-
dent. His kindly nature and loyable
traits of character and his amiable con-
sideration for all about him will long be
in the minds and hearts of his country
men. He loved them in return with such
patriotism and unselfshncss that in this
hour Of their grief and humiliation he
would say to them: ST is Gods will; l
am content If there is a lesson in my
life or death, let it be taught to those
who still live and have the destiny OF
their country in their keeping"
He was obedient and affectionate as
son, patriotic and faithful as a soldier,
honest and upright as a citizen, tender
and devoted as husband, apd truthful,
generous, unselfsh, moral and clean in
every relation of life. He never thought
any of those things too weak for his
manliness.
By the memory of our murdered Presi-
dent, let us resolve to cultivate and pre-
serve the qualities that made him great
and useful, and let US determine to meet
any call of patriotic duty in any time or

At the memorial services in Lincoln,
Neb., William J. Bryan spoke, in part,
as follows:
AS monuments reared by grateful hands to
the memory Of heroes testify TO the virtues
of the living as well as to the services of the
dead so the sorrow that has overwhelmed
our nation, Obhterating the distinctions OF
party, race and religion is as complimentary
to the patriotism Of our people as to our de-

even one murderous heart could be found In

private character and pure virtues of Will

statesman had exerted greater influence
upon his party or upon the politics of his
generation. lie possessed rare ability in
presenting and defending his views and has
made profound impression upon the history
of his time.
Let us hope that this national affection,
which unites all factions in a common sOr-
row, will bring broader charity and a more
liberal spirit among those who by different
policies and through different parties seek
to promote the welfare and increase the
glory of our common country.

TRIAL OF CZOLGOSZ.
Assassin's Plea of "GuiIty" Rejected
and FormaIities Proceed.

ASSdSS1hS Ilea hCJeCLeu
and Forma1ities Proceed.
Leon Czolgosz was placed on trial Mon
day before Justice Truman c. White in
the Supreme Court of Erie County at
Buffalo for the murder Of President Nc
Kinley. He pleaded guilty when for
mally arraigncd, but this plea, not being
permitted by law, was withdrawn by
his counsel, ex-Judge Lewis, who, a few
minutes later, entered a plea of not gull
ty. Rapid progress was made with the
trial and when the court took recess
at noon eight jurors had been sworn in.
EX-Judge Lewis rose at once and made
the formal plea of not guilty on behalf
of his client. Ex-Judge Titus, associat-
ed with Judge Lewis as counsel for CZol-
gosz, then made formal apology to the
court for appearing for such a client and
explained why he and Judge Lewis had
consented to accept the duty imposed up
on them by the court.
Before the day was over the entire
panel had been sworn and five witnesses
had been heard. The jurors had listened
to description Of the Temple of Music,
where the crime occurred; had seen pho
tOgraphs of the interior of that struc-
ture, and had been told by three surgeons
what caused the death of the President,
and the effect of the assassin'S bullets
upon the various organs of the body.
They had also learned why the fatal bull
let had not been located.
The presentation of the government 8
case began shortly before 3 o'clock, when
Assistant District Attorney Halter be-
gan, with much elaboration, to address
the jury.
The first witness, Samuel J. Fields,
chief engineer of the Pan-American expo
sition, described the ground-foor plan Of
the Temple of Music. and was followed
by Perry a. Bliss, a photographer, who
presented views of the interior of the
building. The remainder of the afternoon
was taken up with the testimony of three
physicians, two of whom had attended
the President during his last days, while
the other performed the autopsy
The latter, Dr. Harvey Il. Gaylord, was
the first of the trio to be called. He de-
scrbed the location of the wounds in the
stomach and the direction of the bullet.
The cause of death was attributed to the
gunshot wound, but, fundamentally, he
said, it was due to the changes back of

man who fired the shoSs. Edward r.
Rice, chairman of the Pan American COM
mttee of ceremonies also testified as to
the, actual shooting and identified Cool
gosz. James L. Quackenbush, also a
member of the committee, similarly de-
scribed the actual shooting.
CzoIgosz wept during the testimony
given by Mr.. Quackenbush, who was
present at the shooting and late' heard

crime.

soned tissue was as large as silver dol

The prisoner, Czolgosz, during the
morning evinced no interest whatever in
the proceedings, but as the testimony
was introduced he paid more attention to
what was said, and looked at the various
witnesses closely.

that Europe feels utterly helpless against
the stealthy, ever-active band that deies

The guards about every sovereign have
been doubled and trebled since the crack
of the assassin's pistol at Buffalo.
Although no international movement
against the anarchists is yet under way
it is felt that it will be one of the things
of the near future. Germany has taken

INNOVATION BY ODD FELLOWS.
Duplicate Copies of the Secret Work
Will Be Provided.

The sovereign grand lodge of Odd Eel
lows in session at indianapolis decided
to print duplicate copies of the secret
work of the order and furnish each State
jurisdiction with a copy. This is most
important step and has been up for dis
cussion for years.
Since the founding of Odd Fellowship
there has been only one copy of the Sc
cret work of the order. This is not print
ed, but is stamped on parchment. 1t is
kept by guardian specially appointed
for that purpose. No one is allowed to
cast his eyes on it unless that one is an
officer or grand representative in the
sovereign grand lodge. Each State and
each lodge now has the ritualistic work,
which is secret also, but the signs and
some other secrets not mentioned are new
er given except by word of mouth.

blow of the anarchists may fall in Brit
ain. Even the Pope has felt it necessary
to say in receiving a delegation of bishops
at the Vatican that anarchy is one Of
the great foes to civilization and order

with courage. There is every likelihood
that an international congress to con.

The society, by a decisive vote, showed
its disapproval of the plan to make

for effect upon the number of members

present plan each state society has the
right TO cast fixed number of votes

The result of the suggested change
