Imposing Funeral Ceremonies
Precede Int rr1 s71f Me-
KinleY at Canton.

Out under the whispering oak trees
of Westlawn cemetery, in vine-cov-
cred vault, almost buried in sloping
hillside. all that is earthly of William
Mckinley now rests. About the flower
strewn slopes picket line of SOL
diers stands silent in the shadows.
Whole Day Given to Grief.
All day Thursday mufiied drums
beat their requiems, brasses walled out
the strains of marches of the dead,
great men of the nation followed
funeral car in grief and tears. Through
solid banks of bareheaded men and
weeping women and children, fringed
by wall of soldiers. marching mil
itary and civilians passed with the
mourners of the distinguished dead.
First among those who followed the
dead during the journey from the
home to the tomb was the man who is
now at the head of the government.
Mrs. Mckinley Nears Collapse.
Mrs. Mckinley was unable to attend
the funeral. While the last rites were
being said she remained in u room of
the family home, dazed, not realizing
almost paralyZed mentally. During the
morning, at her urgent request, she
sat alone for time beside the cof-
fin as it lay in the south parlor of
the house. No one seeks to lift the
veil that is drawn over this scene
about the bier of the last earthly
sleep. The casket was not opened
But she was near the one who ever
had cared for and protected her; near
the dead for whom grief has burned
into the soul of country the lessons
of manliness and beneficence taught by
his life.
Final Ceremonies Impressive.
The last ceremonies for the late
president were marked with a dignity
that struck dumbness to the tens of
thousands who watched the funeral
column make the journey from the
home to the cemetery. From the
south parlor of the frame house which
had SO long been the family home the
casket was borne to the First Metho-
dist church at Canton, with statesmen,
diplomats, great men of nation, rep
resentatIves of the world, gathered
with the surrounding members of the
family. Ministers of five religious de-

would indeed be disgrace to our ma
tion if the murder of a President con-
cerned only the members of the domi-
nant party. While no recent campaigns
have aroused deeper feeling than those
through which Mr.. Mckinley passed,

pages, while to convey an adequate
idea of the feature of it all which waS
most conspicuous-the depth and ST.
lence of the grief displayed-is beyond
words. In that respect it was the
scenes of Wednesday enacled over
again with Increased intensity. All
along through the great black lane of
people that stretched from the Nc
Kinley home to the cemetery-quite
two miles-were men and women
weeping as though their deares, friend
was being borne to the grave.
Every Eye Dim With Tears.
About the tomb itself the outburst
of grief was still more striking. AS
the casket was borne into the Tault
there was not member of the cabinet
who was not visibly affected, while
several were in tears, with their
handkerchiefs to their eyes. Secre-
tary Root, although controlling him
self to some degree of outward calm
was deeply moved. while President
Roosevelt repeatedly pressed his hand
kerchief to his eyes.
Great Picture of Desointion.
Among the byStanders many scarce
ly made an effort to conceal their emo
ton. 1t was a scene under the cheer
less gray skies and in the bleak wind
as cold as November day, that even
the radiant glory of all the great
mass of flowers could not relieve-the
picture of all of sorrow and desola-
ton that death leaves in its wake AS
the one on whom this terrible blow
falls hardest was not there this ag-
ony was spared her.
VIII Sleep In Bed of Granite.
Here in this vine-covered vault the
remains of President Mckinley will lie
until they are buried in granite There
remain now only the plans for a mon
ument to his memory. Already these
are under way. Thursday morning
Speaker Henderson of the house of
representatives, accompanied by Con-
gressman S. e. Payne of New York,
and Congressman Dalzell of Pennsyl-
vania, were driven to Westlawn Gem
etery and viewed the location of the
Mckinley plot.
