leading to the Jail roped of, and has

In addition to the outside guards
the sheriff has strong posse inside

The prevailing opinion appears to
be that an extra session OF quarter

Judge Miller will hold court here on
Tuesday and Bennett could by plead

the sermon-MckinIey's Memory
Euiosized-Memorial Services Held.

Oyster Bay, N Y, Sept. 15.-Rev.
DR.. Henry Homer Washburn. rector
Of Christ Episcopal church, in the
presence of President Roosevelt and
his family and q congregation that
filled the church to overfowing, yes
serday preached q sermon in which
he devoted considerable attention to
Possibility Of danger coming by and
through the unguarded use Of great
wealth concentrated in the hands OF
few" and in which he also stated
that III ever circumstances indicated
that one was placed Providentially
in the executive chair OF the nation,
then the circumstances that attended
the promotion Of Mr.. Roosevelt so In
dicated."
Yesterday was the first anniversary
of the death of President Mckinley
and the president had requested Mr..
Washburn to hold memorial services.
The announcement that this would be
done and that President Roosevelt
would be present served to draw
large crowd to Christ church, which
the president attends while here.
EuIogized Memory of Mckinley.
The first part Of the rector's sermon
was devoted to an eulogy upon the
lie and character of the martyred
Mckinley, and to this the president
listened attentiyely. But when in the
second part Of the sermon Mr.. Wash
burn took occasion to speak Of the
possibility of danger coming through
certain trusts, and also to laud the
president, Mr.. Roosevelt became rest
i've. His face colored and he plainly
showed signs Of disapproval OF the
rector's utterances. At the conclusion
of the sermon ne turned to Mrs.
Roosevelt, who sat beside him, and
whispered, He should not have don.

After the services the president
| stated that he had requested Mr.
Washburn to hold memorial services,
but that he had no knowledge OF what
the sermon contained nor, had he any
intimation that the rector would re-
| fer to the trusts or to himself. Mr..
Washburn also stated that he had
prepared the sermon without consult
ing any members of the presidents
| family.
Some Details of the Services.
Mr.. Washburn was assisted by Rev.
J. W. Hegeman, Of New York, who
read a prayer for the departed presi-
dent. After the prayer and before
the Litany the congregation sang,
Nearer, My God, to Thee" kneeling
Another Of Mr. MciKnley's favorite
hymns, Lead, Kindly Light" also
was sung. The services closed with
the hymn. Our Fathers God, TO
Thee" sung to the tune Of America. y
The hangings of the altar and chan
eel were in purple. Memorial exer-
cises also were held in the other
churches here and many OF the flags
that are flying for the reception today
were placed at half-mast.

II Is interesting In this connection to
note some eases In which n person born

In one case n young man who had
lost his sight In early infancy was SO
completely blinded that he could not
distinguish even the strongest light
from darkness.
After on operation ON one eye had
been successfully performed he began
to see objects without understanding
them-not being able to Judge their
distances from his eye-and he felt ns

Kindness 10 Auimals.

One of the highest and noblest
tendencies Of modern civilization is
evidenced by its pleadings for kind
ness to the dumb animals which
Providence created for the pleasure,
the profit and the prote elton OF man.
Be it said to the honor OF our in
stincts, our education, and our
country, the instances OF wanton
cruelty to animals, such as arise
from the dark passions Of diabol-
ical mind, or the lack OF sympathy
of a coarse grained, sordid nature,
are comparatively rare. Yet there
exists large class Of cases OF cruel
ty to animals that arise from from
ignorance OF the effects OF certain
modes of treatment, and an under
estimation Of the degree OF sensibll-
ity Of the animal.
However, the object OF the HUI
name Society is the same in both
cases, i. e., the prevention OF cruel
ty, no matter what form it takes,
or what its origin. But the remedy
is different. In the one case, the
Society must rescue the animal and
punish the offender; in the other, Q
process OF education must be sys
tematically followed,

MED that he had done 80, but 1t Is
known that every effort is being
made by Root to implicate Miles,
and il he succeeds the President will
doubtless Immediately retire the
General. II may be that such star
chamber proceedings are necessary
concomitants of an imperiallstit
policy, but the suppression OF the
facts, the ignoring Of the General
commanding the army, and the
failure to act on the confirmed
charges OF brutality and inhumanity
against an army officer, will inevl
tably incense the people and dis
gust them with the present admin
istration Of the war department.
