public park beyond was alive with peo-
pie. Every window was filled with
faces. The houses were swathed in
black. Every breast wore some token
of mourning and every face was sol
emn with tense look as eyes strained
eagerly scanning each car for glimpse
of the coffin in which the dead lay.
Hanging from tall crane in one of the
factory Enclosures was an effigy of the
assassin CZolgosz, clothed in black and
wearing on his breast dark lettered
card of angry imprecation. In the body
were a dozen knives.
Leaving Allegheny the funeral train
sped through the little town of Sewick
ley. an outskirt of the great manufac
turing region. with Beaver, the home
of Senator Quay, nestled across the
river. Here the populace came to the
train en- masse. From this point
through to Beaver Falls the train
rushed through thriving little manufac-
turing towns. Rochester. New Brighton
and Kenwood. At Rochester a big
American nag streamed from a tele-
graph pole. its edges trimmed with
Grape. and the church bells could be
heard tolling diSmally. SO the sad
demonstrations were kept UP in all the
cities and towns through which the
funeral train passed.
At Alliance, o., eighteen miles from
Canton. the half masted flags We're bor
dered heavily with black and ii seemed
as If every man, woman and child was
at the station. 4 big white streamel
ten feet wide was across the mali
street, lettered heavily in black, w,

Then came the last half hours rur
into Canton. where the body was to b,
received into the arms of its own peo
pie. Mile by mile. the approach wa,
marked by growing evidences of deel
personal afiliction. Flags that haC
often waved Mckinley welcome, wer'
now lowered In sorrow. Farmers anC
country folk generally seemed to hay,
suspended work altogether; the schools
We're dismissed and the entire popula
ton was ranged along the track in sor
rowful silence. The straining face!
showed that the people took thi'
mournful home coming as a persona
bereavement, which had entered int
each home. and it was rs though
fathers and mothers and sisters were
watching for glimpse of the caslic
i.lat held their own loved one.
AT Maximo the country stores were
heavily draped, and the townspeopl,
packed the little station. Now tn,
train was at Lewisville, only six mile
from Canton. and soon the shops of til,
