A MONUMENT TO M,kINLEY.
His Heroism at Antietam 60 Be Com.
memorated by a Shaft.

Leslie's 'S>ekly: The most striking
incident OF tn. soldier life of the late
President William Mckinley will be inn
mortalized by granite and bronze. On
January 80, 1903, at Columbus, the
Ohio Antietam battlefield commission
! awarded the contract to erect Il monu-
ment on the spot where Mckinley as a
mere soldier boy served his comrades
With hot coffee on the firing line. The
entire contract provides for the erection
of ten monuments in homer of the sew
eral Ohio regiments and batteries which
took part in that bloody battle. but.
without 4 doubt, the most unique and
one III which the people of the United
States will be most Interested is the
Mckinley monument. 1t will be re-
membered that This battle was fought
September IL, 1862, on Maryland soil,
and that the Twenty third Ohio reg!
ment was an important factor in the
fight. Belonging 10 the famous TWEEN
ty-third We're two men who afterward
became presidents OF the United States,
Hayes and Mckinley. as We'll as !. long
line of other distinguished men. Per-
haps no other battlefield commission,
either in Ohio or the other states of the
union, Will have so pretty sentiment
to enlarge upon as this heroic act in the
life of the beloved Mckinley.
While going over the battlefield With
u CoIHpaVACp NOT loliS before MS tragic
death, President Mckinley said i'm
speaking ct the coffee incident, that he
knew the boys must be hungry and
thirsty fi.m their long service under
fire, and concluded to take them some
coffee. With one of the supply wagons
he started for the line when he was
stopped by u superior officer and or
dered back
What did you do?" asked his COM
panicn.
II waited until the officer had passed
on and then proceeded TO where the
boys We're fighting, said the president.
The monument to mark this sacred
spot has been designed b. he Hughes
Granite and Marble company of Clyde,
Ohio, whose plant is within eight miles
of the lakewood cemetery at Fremont,
where lies the dust of President Hayes.
The monument is q cylindrical shaft 81

central idea of the whole scheme by
showing Mckinley, the soldier boy,

der fire. The Ohio legislature has APP
propriated nearly S25O,000 for the ten
monuments, of which $4,000 is espe-
cially appropriated for the Mckinley
monument. The purpose is to have it
the finest monument on the battlefield.

with in this age in which SO many
frauds are reported.

Mr.. Sullivan, and when was so i'll
