"The story of Lizzie Mcclure by

fessions of a young woman who chose

man. LEAD, Kindly Light" Mr.. Nc
Kinley's favorite hymn, was sung by
H. B. Springer. The pastor, Rev. John
Sinclair, D. D., took his text from the
seventeenth psalm: 81 shall be salts
fed when I awake in thy likeness" He
said in part:
"McKinley's long life was distin-
guished by allegiance to God. His last
moments were an unexpected disclos-
ure of his nearness to God. His dying
prayer was Nearer My God to Thee
His life is for us more than a record
of successful craftsmanship; it is the
record of a man who lived in the divine
light
ExaItation of Motive.
Rev. A. ]. D. Haupt, pastor of the
English Evangelical Lutheran church,
in Sixth street, spoke to his congrega-
ton last evening on the meaning of
McKinleys life. He pointed out the
fact that Washington, Lincoln and Nc
Kinley were essentially devout men,
seeking for the divine light in their
work for the nation. This exaltation
motive, the speaker declared, distin-
guished them among the great national
leaders of history.
Memorial Music Rendered.
The morning services at the House
Of Hope Presbyterian church, Fifth
and Exchange streets, was of a men,
orial character, the music being es-
pecially selected with reference to the
anniversary of McKinley's death, and
the sermon by Rev. Thomas Mcbride
Nichols dealing with the late presi-
dents service to the nation.
Rev. r. w. Boynton, pastor of Unity
church, Wabasha street, near Summit
avenue, in his sermon yesterday
morning gave attention to the work of
Mckinley as broad minded and I'M
selfish worker for the promotion of the
best interests of the American people.

MONEY IS NEEDED TO
MAN NEW AMBULANCE
Police Buy Handsome Vehicle for City,
but Need Fund From City to
Operate 1t.

It is now UP to the city council to
make the policemen's efforts to install
a new ambulance at the central station
a complete success. The police want
the aldermen to vote them money from
the general fund to pay the salaries Of
"a driver and two medical assistants, as
the police fund is not large enough to
! meet the extra demand.
The new conveyance is the gift of
the police to the city, having been
bought with the money received at the
police ball game this summer. Capt.
William Hanft and the chiefs Secre-
tary, George Mounts, were the commit
tee selected to buy the new wagon.
They went to Philadelphia and sue
ceeded in getting one of the two which
the Fulton & Walker company were
building for Catholic hospital in BoS-
ton.
The outfit complete, including the
horses and harness, cost about $1,1OO.
The wagon is a beauty of its kind. The
wheels run on ball bearings. The con-
veyance contains two combination
stretchers, which will enable the in
jured to sit or lie in any position that
is necessary.
The ambulance is claimed to be the
only one in the West which will ac-
commodate two patients at the same
time. 1t was tried out for the first
time last night, and worked success
fully. The team selected to draw the
wagon was bought in Kenyon, MINI.
The police have all the necessary
accommodations for the driver and
medical attendants. All they need is
enough money to cover the salaries of
the men to make this humane project
| a complete success and a benefit to the
city.

PECULIAR TACT SHOWN
BY RUFUS cHOATE.
This Good Advice on Both Sides Won
Retainer and Friend at the Same


Time.
In referring to the tact which Rufus
Choate always displayed in his treat
ment of angry men, especially if they
were his clients, writer in Lippin-
colts magazine recalls the experience
of a Southerner named Delacour, who
when dining in a Boston hotel, had
been told to go to a warm place by a
colored waiter with whom he had
found fault. Delacour wanted to shoot
the man on the spot but a friend re-
strained him.
"You can't do that sort of thing
here" said his friend. "You will have
to remember where you are"
do you suppose that I am going to
put up with such insolence and not be
avenged?" said the enraged man.
Certainly not. But do it by process
of law"
The landlord was first interviewed
and the waiter discharged. That was
not sufficient to satisfy the wounded
feelings of Mr.. Delacour. He asked
who was the best lawyer in the city
and was told it was Rufus Choate
Making his way to his Office he said
"Mr. Choate, I want to engage you
on a case. What will your retaining fee
be-"
about fifty dollars"
The check was made out and handed
over.
"Now," said the lawyer, what are
the facts in the case?'
He was told. Said Choate thought
fully.
Il know the United States law on the
subject well, and I know the law of the
commonwealth of Massachusetts, and
I can assure you, sir, that there is
no power on earth strong enough to
force you to go to that place if you
don't want to go. And if were you
wouldn't"
"Well," said the Southerner, accept
ing the situation, 81 think I'll take your
advice" and they parted good friends

William Mckinley dead? No, no. Will
liam Mckinley lives as never before.


liam Mckinley lives as never before
William Mckinley stands revealed
as never before to the peoples appre-
henSion and to it's heart. In his high
office he had borne himself with such
simplicity and modesty that men hard
ly realized how great a man he must
be to be unmoved by promotion to the
highest place of power and honor that
an almighty nation can bestow.
yet, William Mckinley had been no
stole. He had neither hidden nor pa
raded his affections. AS a son, hus-
band and friend William Mckinley
had been so natural and unaffected
that his temperament and sincerity of
character, the true key of his more
public and official life, obscured the
significance of as illustrious a career
as any president of the United States
has ever filled.
I'm public life William Mckinley has
been as unaffectedIy and simply dutiful
as in his family. Of all who have been
nearly associated with him there is not
lutte -regardlessness in the conduct
of his public service. He had none of
the pettinesS which prefers to surround
itself with small men.
Can such men die? No, no. Will
liam Mckinley is dead, and far rather
is Mckinley alive. There are none who
are dead. How solemn, how tremen-
dous the thought that all the past gen.
erations that have stormed across this
earth Of ours and have fallen in sleep,
live yet.
Life is life forever. To be is eter-
nal being. Every one who has died is
at this very instant in full possession
of his faculties, in the intensest exer-
else of his capacities, standing some
where in Gods great universe ringed
with the sense of Gods presence. Yes
the dead are those who are most truly
alive. And William Mckinley dead
was never so truly alive. Alive in his
own person-alive in the heart Of the
world.
I'm the flash of the assassin's pistol
William Mckinley was revealed. Will
liam Mckinley dies. William Mckinley
lives. The verdict of the world will be
that this man, ruled so wisely and so
dutifully, and withal so modestly, that,
like Abraham Lincoln, five and thirty
years ago, he was hardly known for
what he was until he died. To die were
the rarest of good fortunes, and so
died William Mckinley, worthy by the
grace of God to be the president Of the
United States"

ST. PAUL MAKES THE
MOST OF FAIR SUNDAY
Streets Are Crowded With Persons
Taking Advantage of Returning
Warmth.

The general contraction caused by
the cold spell Of weather which visited
st. Paul last week was relieved some
what yesterday by the sun gods open
ing up the furnace doors little wider
than they have been for the last few
days with the result that the afore-
said contraction gave way to expan-
sion.
Everybody was out to take advan-
tage of perhaps the last day of sum-
mer weather. st. PauPs fair maidens
for the last time perhaps put on their
gauzy waists with half length sleeves
and carried their Jackets on their
arms.
The young men and older ones left
their top coats at home. Little maids
went arm in arm leisurely down the
sidewalks lin front of their homes.
Even the dogs seemed to be happy.
People flocked to churches to hear
the commemorative services. In fact,
the day seemed to tell by it's sunshine
and warmth that the country had re-
covered from the shock which 1T had
received a year ago today.
Traffic on the cars was heavier than
it has been since the fair. The streets
reminded one of fair week crowds. 1t
was perhaps the last chance for the
people to enjoy the last faint smiles
of the summers sun and they took
advantage of it.

MARY T. ABRAHAM ENDS LIFE
IN FIT OF MELANcHOLIA
Aged Minneapolis Woman Struggles
Bottle of Poison Into Hospital and
Drinks 1t Soon After Being Admit
ted, Despite Vigilance of Nurses.

While suffering from melancholia,
Miss Mary T. Abraham, whose home
was on Lake of the Isles boulevard,
Minneapolis, committed suicide at st.
Luke's hospital Saturday night by
swallowing a large dose of carbolic
acid.
Miss Abraham, who was sixty-five
years of age, was brought to the hospi-
tai Saturday afternoon. She was in
charge of trained nurse and was re-
ceiving medical treatment from DR..
Dunning. The woman had been in the
hospital only few hours when she
drank the drug.
Shortly after supper Miss Abraham
asked to be taken to the lavatory. She
was accompanied as far as the door
by the nurse. She came out in few
moments, staggering slightly. The
nurse though that Miss Abraham suf-
fered from weak spell. When they
reached the woman's room it was found
that her lips were burned with acid.
No sooner was she placed on her
bed than commissions developed. All
that was possible was done to relieve
her pain and save her life, but at 1920
o'clocka she died as a result of the
poison
Made Careful Preparation.
A search revealed the carbolic acid
bottle. The drug was purchased at
M. E. Washburn's pharmacy, Minneap-
oils. Miss Abraham had evidently
set about deliberately to end her life,
and evidently before coming to ST. Paul
procured the acid.
For the past five years Miss Abra-
ham had been a sufferer from meIan-
cholia. At times she was greatly dis
tressed, and for days would refuse to
speak to her family. Her sickness also
took other forms, but never before did
she attempt to end her life.
1t was far from her attendants mind
that she would make an attempt to
commit suicide. She was watched con-
stantly on account of her weak con-
dition and not because it was thought
that she would do herself harm.
Will Hold No Inquest.
Coroner A. w. Miller was notified OF
the death at 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, and after viewing the remains de-
cided that an inquest is unnecessary.
The body was removed to Minneapolis
yesterday afternoon for burial.
Miss Abraham was sixty-five years
of age, and for forty-f1ve years resided
in Minnesota. She was we'll known in
Minneapolis.

Largest Crowds in History of Cathedral

Packed to the doors and some stand

Cathedral at the meetings conducted
by the Paulist Fathers yesterday. New
er in the history of the church, says
Father Lawler, has such a large crowd
assembled in the Cathedral.
The woman's mission closed at 80
yesterday with a crowded church, and
the mems mission opened last evening.
All classes were there and salvation
was the subject of the evening.
There will be three services a day
next week, for men, at 5 and in the
forenoon and at 1880 in the evening.
Moral questions will be discussed, and
all persons, whether Catholics or not,
are invited to come.

Berghold is one of the most interest

and seen much of the early develop

the Indian massacre of 1862 at New
Ulm, where he was then located The
benediction was pronounced by Bishop

were Rev. Anthony Auglin, of ST. Ber-
