Incidentally IL VIII commemorate "a
Conee Incident which Has Been
Made the subject of Many
Comments

The most striking incident of the
soldier life Of the late President Will
liam Mckinley will be immortalized
by granite and bronze. On January
so, 1908, at Columbus. the Chic Antie-
tam battlefield commission awarded
the contract to erect a monument on
the spot where Mckinley Is a mere
soldier boy served his comrades with
hot coffee on the firing line. The entire
contract provides for the erection Of
ten monument in honor Of the several
Ohio regiments and batteries which
took part in that bloody battle, but,
without a doubt. the most unique and
the one in which the people Of the
United States win be most interested
is the Mckinley monument. 1t will
be remembered that this battle was
fought September II, 1862, on Mary
land soil, and that the Twenty-third
Ohio regiment was an important fac
tor in the fight. Belonging TO the fa-
nous T~wenty-third were two men who
afterwards became presidents Of the
United States. Hayes and Mckinley,
as well as a long line of other distin-
guished men. Perhaps no other bait
tlefield commission, either IN Ohio or
the other states Of the union, Will have
so pretty a sentiment to en- aree tron
as this heroic act in the life Of the be-
loved Mckinley.
While going over the battlefield with
a companion not long before his
tragic death. President Mckinley said,
in speaking of the coffee incident, that
he knew the boys must be hungry and
thirsty from their long service under
fire. and concluded TO take them some
coffee. With enc of the supply wagons
he started for the line when he was

WILL NOT DlSBAND.
hut VIII Hold "a Fair 10 Raise Money to
Defray the Expenses.

A meeting of the members of the
CITY Band was held Monday in their
hall in the Blondell building. TO de-
eide whether or not they should dis
band the people of this city hay ing ia
ken so little interest and given less
support of late. The band has been
without an instructor for a number of
months past. in fact ever since the de-
parture of Prof. Luscomb, and this in
itself proved very discouraging in
their practice night being ~seantily at
tended. In the past month two of their
members have left. they having moved
from this city. With all of this con-
fronting them they met last night for
the purpose of reaching a final decision
as TO what was to be done. The finan-
cial condition of the organization is
exceedingly low and as it takes money
to meet the necessary expenditures OF
an organization and with non in the
treasury, where was it to come from?
This is the question that also con
fronted them.
The way things were standing was
explained to all of the members at
night and they between themselves de-
clded that there was nothing left but
to disband. AT this critical stage. a
few of u music loving citizen, who
were present. spoke. They entreated
them not 20 disband aud that they
would not only see that they were bet
ter supported but that they would help
themselves. 1t was finally decided
then that they would hold a fair in
order to defray expenses and that they
might employ an instructor.
The mnsic loving people Of this city
will be glad to hear that the prided
band Of our city will not disband but
they should not only rejoice but lend
a helping hand.

panion.

The monument to mark this sacred
spot, says Leslie's Weekly, has been
designed by the Hughes Granite q Mar
BILE company, of Clyde, O.. whose plant
is within eight miles of the Oak Wood
cemetery, at Fremont, where lies the
dust of President Hayes. The monu-
ment is a cylindrical shaft, 81 feet six
inches high. surmounted by a granite
eagle on a granite ball. Upon a cor
ner OF the die rests an ~allcgorical fig
ure of "Peace and Bereavement,"hold
ing a palm branch. Two bas-relief por-
traits of Mckinley, n representing
him at the time he entered the army
and the other Just before his untime-
ly death at Buffalo, appear on the die.
On the face of the lower die will be a
bronze battle scene representing the
central idea Of the whole scheme by
showing Mckinley, the soldier boy,
serving hot coffee to his comrades un-
der arms. The Ohio legislature has
appropriated nearly $4,000 for the ten
monuments, o (which $4,000 is especial
ly appropriated for the Mckinley mon
ument. The purpose is to have it the
finest monument on the battlefield.

SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1903.

When the so-called Negro Problem
is the subject of discussion, the whites
generally say, that it is because the
blacks are lacking in education and
business instincts. that they are OBJ
ectionaDle. We are inclined to the
belief that this is not the true cause
Of objection There are millions of
Afro-Americans who are equal to the
average OF any nationality, in the same
walks CT life. in point CT education.
and, there are millions of owners Of
property. The whites both South and
North, do protest that they are the
/ st friends the Afro-Americans have
that both are sitting up nights, evolv-
ing schemes looking toward their bet
terment and happiness in every way;
yet, both are trying to force them into
paths leading to these desirable goals,
other than the ones they, themselves
tread. They do not wish to measure
the Afro-American's happiness, ambi-
lions, feelings, desires, contentedness,
patriotism, fealty, loyalty, rights, JUS
tice, in short, anything by their own
quart measure, but special measure
must be fused. Our white friends both
better for us than we will for our
North and South, who think they know
our needs better than we do ourselves
and who imagine, or, would have US
that they will do more and
selves, are, to put it mildly, mistaken. i
