troops had formed phalanx of sabers
and bayonets. Then, under the black
shrouded door, came the casket.
Under Arch of Sabers.
The black coffin had passed under an
arch of drawn sabers as it was carried
up the steps. Lieutenant General
Miles and the men of the army and
Rear Admiral Farquhar and the men

flowers marking the altar AMI the
choir loft lay the bier shrouded, too,
in the national colors and in black.
On this the casket was placed under

whole Day Given to Grief.
All day Thursday mufied 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 a wall of soldiers, marching mil

mourners of the distinguished dead.

Mrs. Mckinley was unable to attend
the funeral. While the last rites were
being said she remained in a room Of
the family home, dazed, not realizing
that death had come to her husband,
almost paraIyzed mentally. During the
morning, at her urgent request, she
sat alone for a 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 a country the lessons
of manliness and benefcence 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

traits of character and his amiable
consideration for all about him viii
long be in the minds and hearts OF
his countrymen. He loved them in re-
turn with such patriotism and unself-

and humiliation he would say to them:
1T is Gods will; am content. II 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 anectionate as
a son. patriotic and faithful as a sol
dier, honest and upright as a citizen,
tender and devoted as a husband, and
truthful, generous. unselfsh, moral.
and clean in every relation OF life. He
never thought any OF those things too
weak for his manliness.

him great and useful, and let US deter
