Cincinnati, May 26.-By proclamation of the mayor on request of the board of public service, Cincinnati will hold a municipal house cleaning beginning on June il,
 Citizens generally are to be required to empty into the street and within reach of teams, all refuse from cellars and at tics and at the same time, to clean up their yards. The street cleaning force is to be reinforced for the day so that al such rubbish may be carted away.
 The resolution O. the house cleaning was adopted against the advlce of the superintendent of the street cleaning de- partment, who insisted that such dump ing of rubbish into the street could only caIse confusion and dirt, that while it might be spectacular, it would accom- plish little good. It is probable that the city will be divided into districts, d sep arate day being devoted to each dis trict.
 was that the broken hearted wife became an invalid.
 Her life, as the wife of William Mo Kinley was most happy and devoted one. They never kept house" while he was in Congress, because of her invalid state. She, however, desired to be with him as much as possible, and spent much time in Washington. On his campaign tours, while he was congressman, gover- nor and President. she journeyed with him as far as practicable.
 Return to Canton.
 After Governor McI<inleys term of off, flee ended they came to Canton in Jan uary, 1896, in time to celebrate their silver wedding anniversary in the first home of their early married life.
 This wedding anniversary was the be- ginning of a year and two months res- idence in Canton, during which time MT. Mckinley was nominated and elected President of the United States.
 At Washington, as the first lady of the land, she was unable 70 act as hostess at brilliant social functions.
 After the crushing blow, which came to her when the assassin's bullet struck down her husband. friends despaired of her life for month or more. She, however, rallied and for several years en- 1oyed better health than usual She would not consent to leave her Canton home.
 Mrs. Mckinley was fond of the drama. She and her husband numbered as one of their most intimate friends, the late Joseph Jefferson who was frequently house guest of the McKinley's.
 A Choice Diversion.
 Among her diversions was the crochet ing of slippers. which she bestowed as keepsakes to friends. handed to needy. or gave to bazaars. More than 35O0 pairs were knitted by her and given away. She was fond of flowers. the rose being her favorlte for many years. In recent years, the presidents carnation shared place in her admiration.
 Bereft of children at an early stage of married life, she showed her intense af- lection for children until the end of her life. It was a common thing for her to stop her carriage when driving along the street and call to her some prattling child, kiss 1t, or ask to embrace an at tractive baby.
 The Mckinley estate, which was left by the President was appraised at $2loOO when the inventory was made. It has increased in value since that time. By the terms of the will of MT. Mckinley, the estate, at the death of Mrs. Mckinley was to be divided equally among his brother, Abner Mckinley, now deceased, and his sisters, Mrs. Duncan and Miss Helen Mckinley, of Cleveland. Mrs. Her manus Baer, Mabel (Nabel Mckinley, is the daughter and heir of Abner Me- Kinley.
