ties between the two cases. Both
were fine specimens of physical man
hood both had many moral and intel
lectual characteristics in common.
Both were specially distinguished for
a strong sense of justice, for upright
ness and integrity in thought and pur-
pose. If Mr.. Mckinley was not as
distinguished for learning, he was for
moral development, perhaps. If he
sometimes erred in Judgment, he
never consciously did an injustice.
But the similarity is quite close in
the manner of their death. Moses died
and was buried by the hand of God.
Though Mr.. Mckinley, according to
human vision, died by the fonl stroke
of a bloodthirsty anarchist, yet the
manner of his taking was so mys-
terious, he was so good, kind and
patriotic, laborine even at that very
moment for the benefit of his country,
and surrounded by thousands of adj
miring fellow-citizens that l am not
too bold, l trust, in saying that he
died at that moment and under cir
cumstances by special act of the
divine will. SIT is Gods will. - he
braVely said Like Moses he suffered
from keen sense of deprivation. He
was cut off, alas, in the fullness of his
strength and in the midst of the work
he loved SO well-a broken column to
be completed by the divine sculptor in
heaven.
Moses asked for two things which
were not granted him until he crossed
the borderland: First, to behold the
divine glory and secondly to set foot
on the covenant land Of promise.
When his soul took its flight from
Nebo. he was granted the first prayer
and centuries after the second was
granted when with Elias he set foot
upon the Mount of TRANSPORTATION.
Sooner probably than MIR. Mckinley
anticipated, he, too, has beheld the
divine glory and set his foot upon the
heavenly Canaan. Like Moses he
pronounced dying blessing upon his
nation and sang if not audibly, yet in
bis heart, the deeply trustful hymn,
NEARER, My God, to Thee. /" Leaning
upon the strong arm of Deaths con.
queror he could say, 81 will fear nc
eyil.''
Mr. Mckinley was in preeminen
degree prophet and leader. 1t il
seldom that men combine these twt
qualities. Moses, Mohammed ani
Shamyl of Circassia are among th'
few examples, men able to frame CON
situations, laws and religions, to poin
Ilout the path of progress and lead then

unto his wife the comfort of his pres
ence and the ministrations of..his SYM
pathy. How many man with no
great public cares resting upon him.
but simply following the behest of his
own business or pleasure, forgets "a
sick wife. But Mr.. Mckinley was
ever mindful of that wife to whom,
once FOR all. he had offered his devo-
tion. When stricken by the assassin's
bullet and struggling with his pain,
and conscious that he has received
mortal wound, he exclaimed, "My
wife, Cortelyou, be careful of her.
Don't let her know" Had he been
posing for the admiration of all good
men and women, and we know that
he was not posing, he could not have
done finer thing. No one could fail
to see the affectionate and all COM
handing loyalty of the impulse behind
those words. Every true husband,
every true wife, all sincere lovers, to
whom the story of his tragic end shall
come, will feel anew the sacredness
of that devotion which gathers one
life about another, making two hearts
one. This invalid woman whom we
could NOT see and know lived ever in
the heart and was an abiding presence
in the thought and life of the. man
whom we honored with the highest
place in the gift of the people. I do
not know what the future historian
will write down to the credit of Mr..
Mckinley for the expansion of our
politics and commerce, but it is GER
tain that he has done something, and
in days like this to do something is
to do much, to exalt the domestic
ideals of the people.
But we need not turn aside from
Mr.. Mckinley to illustrate something
deeper and more difficult, and perhaps
we shall all feel still more divine, in
the power of love, and the captivity
of one soul to another. The world will
never forget that when Mr.. Mckinley
was pierced by the assasslns outlet,
he looked down and saw his murder
borne to the ground by the furious
anger of the secret service men about
him, aid liable TO crude and speedy
vengeance, Then 1t was that Mr.. Nc
Kinley stretched over him protecting
hand, a hand that was already red
with his own blood, and said, Let no
one hurt him." Here was another
glimpse of.the greatness of his heart.
What triumph of patient and suffer
ing love was this Are we not remind
ed of Him who prayed &c long ago,
"Father, forgive them; they know
not what they dol" The spirit of the
divine Master had found and possessed
i him. Probe little deeper, Doctor. y

STRONG ARM JOB
Arvid Puoti, FinIander, Held
Up on Jackson Street.
Is Robbed of Eighteen DolIars-Four
Men Assault Him in the
Early Evening.

Arvid Puoti, native of Finland,
was given the 'strong arm move
ment at the foot of Jackson street
near the Milwaukee railroad crossing
Saturday evening and robbed of $18.
The assault upon Puoti occurred at
about 8 80 O'Clock, shortly after his ar
rival in Mankato over the
Milwaukee road from Chicago. Puoti
and six companions came to town for
the purpose of going to work on the
Milwaukee road between this city and
LeSueur Center, having been sent
here by Chicago employment agency.
AT the Milwaukee depot the men be-
came separated and Puoti started
south on Pike street. He reached
Jackson and was about to make his
way toward Front street, when four
men-one tall and the others short
attacked him. Two of the men held
him by the arms, another seized his
throat, choking him so that he could
make no cutlery and the fourth rified
his pockets, taking all the money he
had with the exception of thirty five
cents which was in vest pocket.
The quartette then disappeared
quickly.
The money stolen consisted of $40
bill, 50 bill and So in silver. This
money had been earned by Puoti
working on railroad near Chicago.
Puoti inquired his way to the police
station and notified the officers of
what had happened. The police
searched the town but could find no
men answering the description of
those who robbed Puoti
The spot where the hold-up occurred
is block from Front street. 1t is a
dark and seldom frequented after
nightfall.
Puoti can speak and understand but
little of the English language. He is a
young man and has been in America
but short time.

LIFE: PROBLEM
CLUB AT DINNER
Weekly Gatherings at the 7. NJ
6. A. Are Becoming
Very Popular.

1.-The Hometown to Make it Attrac-
tive, Hospitality, and the Enjoyments
of Home Life" formed the subject of
the meeting of the Life Problem Club
at the Y. NJ. c. A. yesterday evening.
The literary discussion was preceded
by a astronomical one. Eighteen
young men, who are constant attend
ants upon the meetings of the Life
Problem Club, sat down to an excellent
dinner at o'clock, which was served
in a class room upstairs. Clam chow
der soup, mutton stew and meats, to-
gether with bread and butter, corn and
other vegetables, and coffee, supple
mented with sherbet and cake, complet-
ed a fine dinner. The weekly dinners
are more and more popular and seem
! just the right thing to precede the dis
cussion of the home.
w L. Whitney made an address up
on house life and its enjoyment. The
home was the place not alone for the
| head thereof to merely partake of his
meals, sleep and read the morning pa
per- but where the wife and family
should be brought into close COM
munion with his recreation. If his wife
is taken into the participation of his
! joys and sorrows the home life becomes
more agreeable to each. Then the home
should be hospitable and the stranger
taken in and given access to it's COM
forts. True hospitality was the open
| ing of the doors to the one without a
home. He touched upon divorces as
| tending to uproot the social life of the
nation. The safeguard to the national
life was to prevent divorces, which
Emenaced home life.
A general discussion was INDUCED in
at the conclusion of Mr.. Whitney's ad-
dress, mostly by the bachelors present
who conceded with the speaker that the
! home was truly the place where COM
fort and happiness were to be procured

-FOUR SUITS
DISMISSED
IStockyards Fight
Has Now Been
Settled.
INSURANCE PAID
FOR FIRE LOSS
Honolulu Stoekyards Co. Troubles
Disposed OF and Everyone
Satisfied.

The financial troubles which have in
since the destruction of the newly built
stables by fire August 16, 1901, have
been satisfactorily settled and the four
dismissed yesterday morning by Judge
Robinson
The suits in which dismissal was
| ordered were as follows: Honolulu
stockyards Co. VS.. Union Assurance
Co.; Honolulu Stockyards Co. VS.. Ger
man American Insurance Co., Levers
& Cooke VS.. Honolulu Stockyards Co.
and M. L. Smith VS.. Honolulu Stock
yards Co.
The complications which grew out of
the fire and led to the above four suits
| were many and curious M. L. Smith
was the contractor who built the sta
bles and who had received $12,5OO from
u
work, which was $4,000 less than the
| contract price, which was sued for. The
Stockyards Co. claimed that the build
| ing had not been accepted and filed
counter claim for s12,5O0 which amount
had been paid to Smith before the fire.
Levers & Cooke came in with a claim
a craiD CT hot
for materialmen's lien amounting to
81, 7S4.G9, both Smith and the corpora
ton being made defendants, the ma
terial having been furnished for the
building.
The Honolulu Stockyards Co., had in
sured their interest in the building for
$500; $1,000 with the Union Assurance
Co., and $1,000 with the German Ameri-
can Insurance Co., both of whom re-
fused to pay the policies, claiming that
Smith was a co-insurer. Smith, how
ever, had not insured the structure
while it was being built, so he had no
chance to recover for the. loss from
the insurance companies in any event. |
The basis of settlement which resulted
in the dismissal of all four suits was
the payment by the insurance COM
panies of the two policies, for a trifie
less sum than $500. A portion of this
amount went to Levers & Cooke for
payment of the material, and portion
to NJ. L. Smith, the contractor, who
also was responsible for the building
material furnished. The building as it |
stands went to the Honolulu Stock
yards Co., which has not as yet come
to any conclusion as to whether it shall
be rebuilt. The settlement was accept
able all around, all parties agreeing
&c the dismissal Of the suits.
