Rev. William b. Leach, pastor OF
Wicker Park Methodist Episcopal
church in Chicago, held memorial SER
vices Sunday morning. The church
was appropriately decorated. DR..
Leach said: THE nation hides her
face today in sorrow and shame Sor-
row because the greatest and best
loved of all her sons lies cold in death
at time when we could least spare
him. Shame that in this land OF
lands, guaranteeing to all life, liber-
ty and happiness, there could be
such thing as anarchical plot con-
summated into assassination. Today
our hearts are sobbing out our love.
our sympathy. our regret. Love for the
noble man. sympathy for the. bereaved
wife, regret for the nation. Never since
Lincoln did God make man better
fitted for the place than Mckinley.
Never a man so loved because he was
not of caste or class, but from and OF
and for the people. Loyal to his God,
he could not be otherwise than loyal
to manhood, to home and to his coun-
try Great as soldier and statesman
he was greater still as the exemplaT
OF Christian life and citizenship"

Kinley train and IL carried the Presi-
dent-elect and his wife, his aged moth
er, who had taught him that religious
fortitude with which he faced death;
his brother and sisters, his other rela-
tives and personal friends, all plain
people from Ohio. Monday night the
last Mckinley train that will ever en-
ter the capital rolled into the same sta
ton, to be greeted by mute and sor-
rowing thousands, representative OF
every rank and station in American
life. There were the officers and men
of the army and navy, the heads of de-
partments. the clerks, and the char
women, business men and working
men, whites and blacks, wedged in the
street behind the ropes to receive the
nations dead. 1t was the ripened fruit
of the harvest Mckinley the beloved,
cold in death, had come back to the
nations capital for a last pause within
its historic precincts before proceed
ing to the grave by the side of his
mother and father and his two chill
dren in the cemetery at Canton. The
| flags over the capitol and the White
| House were at half-mast, and the flags
of the army and navy were shrouded,
| while mufiled drums spoke the sorrow
| for his death but above this sorrow
rose the spirit of McKinley's triumph
as the sorrowing multitude felt that
his life at the head of the nation had
effaced old sectional lines and even
] a,t,y In for
those who stood with uncovered heads
and r-dimmed eyes were men who
had worn the gray, as sincere mourn
ers now as those who had in the polit-
ical strife followed the star of Mckin-
ley as President. The casket, which
was borne to the east room of the
White House, was covered by the stars
and stripes and two wreaths, one oi
white roses and the other of white car
nations, rested on the top.
After President Roosevelt and the
cabinet retired from the east room
Mrs. Mckinley, attended by her sister
descended from her private apart
ments, and entered the room. She
stood for two or three moments at the
side of her dead husband, and ther
was led away back through the broad
corridor, where she has been the host
ess at so many state dinners, and fin
ally to her apartments.

RUSSIAN PRESS on MKINLEY.
Leading Dlilies Show Deep sympathy
for Nations Bereavement.

Leading DliIies Show Deep sympathy
for Nations Bereavement.
The all-absorbing topic in st.
Petersburg has been the death of
President Mckinley. The tone of the
press was uniformly sympathetic with
the American people in their bereave-
ment and uniformly just in estimating
Mr.. McKinley's character. The Novo
Vremya says: "He was man of
rare talents and a beloved son of the
country for whose welfare he unceas-
ingly and successfully labored." The
Sviet says: Let us hope that the
death of a ia Tented and energetic
president will Iouse those lands which
for the sake of freedom Of conscience
and thought harbor bad elements and
become the breeding grounds for plots
to action against the enemies or CIV
ilization." The Boerse Gazette says:
"Mr. Mckinley was one of the most
popular figures in American history
and one of the best representatives or
American ideals. Society is defense
less against the propaganda OF murder.
1t is scarcely probable that means VIII
be found to prevent the repetition oil
such crimes. The semi-official Journal
of Commerce and Industry says: "Mr
Mckinley was not an extreme protec-
ZIONIST. Shortly before his death he
spoke out against crude trust protec-
| tion "

man and the statesman, had passed
through the same portals OF the old
railroad station perhaps thousand
times in the last forty years. His first
coming was as boy soldier, and then
he came as a legislator and governor,
and finally as President-elect OF the
United States. That was on March 2,
1897. 1t was a perfect spring day, with
budding trees. spring flowers, and
singing birds. 1t was early morning
