 q word of praise for the late President Mckinley in his talks. He said yesterday that Mr. Mckinley was, In his opinion, one of the greatest men this country has ever produced.
 "Regardless of his politics, a man Is a very poor citizen who cannot appreciate good and great man like our late Presi- dent" said he. Tn my Tennessee home have q life-size picture of MT. Mckinley hanging on the wall beside that of Gen eral Lee on old Traveller for l admire the record of both men.
 ''McKinleys feeling for his fellowman was, indeed, beautiful. When he was shot down at Buffalo, and was sinking into chair, he said: 'Cortelyou, do not let them harm that man. in speaking of the act of his assassin. What could be more beautiful than that. my brethrenY
 MT. Mckinley loved and respected his mother. l have visited his home town and mixed with his friends and neigh bors. They have told me that as he walked to his office in that little Ohio city each morning, how he would stop at the home of his mother, speak word of cheer to her, and leave a kiss upon her brow. On his way home in the even ing he would do the same thing.
 When he went to Washington as the chief executive of this great nation, he never forgot his dear old mother. One day telegram came to him telling of the feeble condition of the fond parent. Replying, he said Tell mother. will be there Those words were so im- pressed upon the people that song, with that phrase as a title, has been com posed, and it is now sung by people all over this world, President Mckinley laid aside all matters of state and went to the bedside of his mother"
 Mr. Stuart held his audience in fine humor and some of his references brought forth laughter and applause. He said that young man with reverence for his parents has handle on him, and can be lifted into heaven, but man with out reverence Is like glass ball with out a handle rolling into hell.
 Another lecture will probably be given at the theater next Sunday afternoon.
