On the anniversary of the shooting CT
President Mckinley at Buffalo Mrs. Nc
Kinley paid her silent tribute to the mem
DRY of her dead husband. She was driv
en- from her home in Canton to the GENE
terry, and, entering the tomb. laid her
floral tribute her daily offering. on the
flag covered coffin. She was heavily veil
ed, as usual and after few moments
spent in prayer beside the coffin, she ,is-
tied and placed flowers on the graves of
her children. Then she re-entered her
carriage and was driven back 20 her
home
Mrs. McKinley's physical health is
good, but her grief has left its imprint on
her mind and she is constantly attended,
Almost her sole topic of conversation with
her attendants and companions and the
few friends whom she sees, is her dead
husband, and while she now talks OF him
calmly, her grief is as poignant as ii was
on the day of his death.
She rides each day to the cemetery,
where she visits her husbands tomb and
places flowers on the flag that covers tie
casket. She is always taken to the ceme
terry in closed carriage, and is always
heavily yelled. In the early evening she
walks for few minutes on the veranda
of her home and this is the only time that
her old neighbors, those who have known
her for many years, and whose hearts
have shared her grief have to see the
sorrow-stricken woman whose hair has
become white and whose life's light has
gone out because of the agony she has
been called upon to suffer.
At the tomb of the nations martyr a
squad of soldiers of the regular army are
on guard night and day. No one IS al
lowed to approach the tomb, over which
flies the flag of the country in whose SER
vice William Mckinley died.

On Friday morning Judge Durand con-

Thursday evening The only symptom that
occasicned anxiety for his physicians and

judge slept a great portion of the time
sitting in his chair. The paralysis con

able to fold his hands and move his limbs
quite freely. Both temperature and pulse
were much reduced during the night.
During the recent State convention,
when Judge Durand heard that he might
be nominated. he sent his son 10 the con-
vention to see to it that his name was
not presented. But all plans to this end
were OF no avail. The Democrats Vt the
State wanted the jurist for their guSer-

LABOR DAY GROWING.
More GeneI Observed This Yeai
than Eyer. Refure

More Gener ally Observed This Year
than Ever Before.
Labor Day as the workingman's holt
day was more generally observed this
year than ever before. In all the large
cities of the country and in many of the
smaller ones the day was given over to
the toilers. In Chicago labor's hosts
marched through the streets to the music
of many bands and the plaudits of thou
sands OF spectators who lined the side
walk. Estimates of the vast number of
toilers ranged from 10000 to 100000, and
it was conceded that no previous turnout
in this city Appropriated the size or Dig
nifty of that of this year. Hitherto labor
professions have been composed exclu-
sively of male mechanics, artisans and
manual laborers. Mondays host included
all the former elements and divisions Of
handsomely dressed young women and OF
men and women in quasi-professional vo-
cations. A feature of the pageant was
the contribution box for money to be sent
to the striking coal miners. AS the re-
ceptacle was hauled through the streets
coins and bills were showered into it.
Half a million men, women and chill
dren attended the picnies and outings in
the parks. The day was an appropriate
climax of year of unprecedented deyel-
opment of the unions in Chicago. A to-
tai of 232 unions, having a membership
of 10000, is the report by the secretary
of the Chicago Federation for the year.
At least 10000 toilers were in line in
the New York parade, forty bands played
national hymns, trade banners Heated be-
side the nations badge and everywhere
the machinery Of trade and commerce
was at a standstill in honor Of the day.
The parade was under the auspices Of the
Building Trades Union.
The sympathy held by laboring men
there for the striking miners in the an
thracite and bituminous coal fields was
clearly demonstrated. Wherever there
were gatherings OF celebrators of the day
there was talk of the conditions of the
great strike. In the parade men carried
transDareneies on which were written
5emapls upon the operators to consent to
a=yiuation. Real, substantial sympathy
was shown by the distribution Of eoHtri-
button boxes along the line Of march, and
the collection Of handsome sum OF
money to aid the miners.
At Kansas City sixty-seyen unions
marched in the Labor Day parade. None
had less than sixty men in line and some
had over 500. There were about 10000
marchers. All business was suspended
and public buildings were closed. The
celebration reached a climax with a pic
mic at Electric Park. in the afternoon, at
which Senator Fairbanks made the thief
speech.
San Francisco's union men had the
largest parade In the history Of the city.
Cleveland had parade and mammoth
picnic. About 1.S0O men were in line.
Topeka suspended business in honor Of
the day. Gov Stanley made the speech.
Some 5000 men and women paraded in
Springfield, III. Gov. Northcott spoke.

Here's Anothsr Lesson.


4 trust has been formed for the man
ufacture of agricultural machinery.
The promoters and stockholders are
cheerful and hopeful. This news item
is one Of the little facts upon which
their cheefulness is based:
Follow ing the international Har-
vester Company's public declaration
that economy In the manufacture and
distribution OF agricultural machinery
was the motive for effecting the $780,
100000 merger, several OF the Chicago
companies In the combine have issued
letters to their agents throughout the
country ordering a reduction Of about
three-fourths in the number of en-
plOyes representing them In the field.
The other companies in the combine are
preparing to follow their example. Ten
thousand men in all are expected to
lose their jobs"
The above condensed and official dis
patch tells a cheerful story for the
trust owners. AS soon as the trust gets
going the owners will be able to dis
charge ten thousand men. The earn
ings of those ten thousand men will go
into the pockets of those who formed
the trust. The increased price of goods
will also go to the profits Of the trust
owners. 1t is very nice to own trust
but what about the ten thousand men
to be discharged?
These ten thousand men--a large ma
jority of them at least-are among
those who shouted for trusts and pros
perity in the last two general cleo
tons. Now they can sympathize with
the drummers who also shouted for
prosperity and who have since been
discharged, thousands at a time, By
trust rmations.-Chicago American.

Demand for Tariff Reform.

OF course, conventional resolutions
such as those in the Republican plat
form can not bring about tariff changes,
but such resolutions, which are en-
tlrely at odds with the wishes Of the
political machine of the Republican
party, would not be adopted unless
there was a strongly pronounced feel

the delegates to these conventions rep
resent; hence it becomes evident that

ApropOs of Abram S. Hewitt's de-

confidently be asserted that if these

they would long ago have been anxious

refused, and still refuse. to make any
statement or to enter into any discus

they manage their business. All Of the
