LEGAL SERVICES
DAY OR NIGHT

| A company has been formed to sup
ed at any hour of the day or night. The
| Night and Day Bank came less than a
year ago, and the demand for all night
service in other lines has made itself
felt, for New York is town in which
business may be transacted during each
of the twenty-four hours.
The hotels and their patrons are large
irresponsible for this continuous feature
in business lines. At the large hotels
business men meet after the convention

They find themselves frequently in need
Of the services of a lawyer, Or an expert
accountant, and to meet this demand the
new company was recently organized
A man who got married under ro-
mantle circumstances a few weeks ago
found the services of the company valu-
able in carrying out his plans. His ar
rangernents required the leasing of a
steam yacht, and he sought in vain for
a lawyer qualified to draw up such a
lease until at 1880 p. m. he heard of
the existence of the company. He tele-
phoned to the uptown Office of the COM
pany, and asked if they had lawyer
there who was qualified to draw lease
for steam yacht.
The man on the telephone at the COM
pany's office replied asking when he
wanted the services performed. The
bridegroom replied, Instantly By II AS
one of the company's lawyers, accom-
panied by stenographer, was in his
room and the necessary document was
being dictated.
The completed papers, ready for the
signatures of the lessor and lessee, were
in his hands the following morning at S
o'clock. At 7 the signatures of all parties
had been obtained, and at 8 the BRIDE
groom accompanied by his bride and
her friend were steaming up the Hud-
son River to the place where they were
married at noon.
The establishment of the twenty
four hour service is the result of
conversation the president of the COM
pany had with the manager of one of
Greater New York's greatest hotels.
I'VE are trying said the hotel man,
ito do everything for the convenience
of our guests. We keep our vaults

facility available for the transaction of

have had number of calls for law
yers to draw up contracts or to give
advice about matters requiring urgent
attention.
IF it were not for the expense I
would have my own hotel attorney
quartered right here in the house"
| The suggestion of the hotel man was

establishment of the company, and up

A CONSTANT. ANNOYANCE.

Half the nervousness. half the fri tability that is SO common in every day life. is really sickness. and In most cases a condition that accom- panies kidney trouble.
 It Is the work of the kidneys to keep the blood free from uric acid and other poisons. but when the kid neys are sick, and not doing their duty. the uric acid poisons permeates /, the body. and attacks body, brain and nerves. The irritation causes ner- ,vousness, irritability, headache. dizzy spells: makes you languid. unfit for work, and inclined to worry over trifes. Besides. there is nothing more annoying than a bad back, and backache is the most common sign of kidney trouble.

MRS. M'KINLEY DEAD
Wife of Martyred President Passes Away at Canton.
ROOSEVELT TO ATTEND OBSEOUIES
Funeral Will Take Place wednes- day at westlawn Cemetery, pr. Buxton, Her Pastor, 0fnciating.
 MausoIeum Being Built.

CANTON, O., May 27.-Mrs. William Mckinley. wife of the martyred presi dent, calmly fell into the sleep that knows no awakening yesterday after noon at 1:05 o'clock. The transition from life to death was so peaceful and gradual that it was with difficulty that the vigilant physicians and attendants noted when dissolution came.
 There was no struggle; no pain. Mrs Mckinley never knew of the efforts made for days to prolong her life, noI of the solicitous hope against hope of her sister and other relatives and friends for her recovery.
 At the Mckinley home when death came there were present Secretary Cortelyou, Mir. and Mrs. NJ. c. Barber, Mrs. Sarah Duncan, Mrs. Luther Day, Justice and Mrs. William R. Day, pr. Portmann, Surgeon General Rixey and the nurses.
 It was by Secretary Cortelyou that the announcement of the demise was given to the public. As this was fash ed over the land William Mckinley post and George D. Harter post. c. A. R., were forming in line and to the strains of a band playing 'The March Religiosa" went to the First Methodist Episcopal church to listen to the an- nual memorial address which was giv- en by Dr. Buxton, Mrs. McKinley's pastor.
 The funeral arrangements. so far as made. are that Dr. Buxton will have charge of the services. which are to be simple. They will be held at the Mc- Kinley home at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
 President Roosevelt, accompanied by Secretary Loeb, will tomorrow night come to Canton to attend the funeral Vice President Fairbanks. who had often been a house guest of the Nc KinleyE, is also expected to reach here fin time to attend the funeral service.
 The body of Mrs. Mckinley will be placed in the vault in wcstlawn eeme- tery. which holds the remains of her husband. until the completion of the national mausoleum on Monument hill. when both caskets will be transferred to receptacles in that tomb.
 From numerous friends of the de- ceased Mrs. Barber has received teIe- grams of cond0lence on the death of her sister. Among them were teie- grams from President Roosevelt and Vice President Fairbanks.

Cuban Police and Huruis Unable tO
 Cope With Riofing Strikers.
 SANTIAGO. Cuba, May 27.-For two days Santiago has been terrorized by a mob of 2.000 striking longshoremen. There have been two riots. hundreds of shots fired, many were wounded and two are expected to die.
 The police are powerless. the rural guard can do little else than guard. the residences of the mayor and civil gov ernor, business Is paralyzed and the chamber of commerce held a meeting to formulate request to Governor Magoon for United States troops to preserve order.
 >After riot, in which many strikers were wounded with bullets and club bed and the police stoned. the strikers demanded the removal of the chief of police by the mayor. That official, En- rique Mesa, refused, whereupon the strikers formulated q demand for his discharge.
 On his refusal a great mob gathered in front of the Hotel Luz and attacked the police. This time the strikers had arms, and the battle sas as fierce as many in the late revolution.

TAFT. ONLY TAFT.
Ohio Sentiment, Says vorys, h Alf
 For Secretary of War.

COLUMBUS. O.. May 27.-Arthur [ Vorys, state insurance commissioner and Ohio manager of the Taft presL dental boom, has issued the second statement he has made since he assum. ed charge of the secretary's campaign in~this state. He said:
 There Is not a district in the state wherein any person pretends that there Is even a purpose, declared or secret to elect an anti-Taft delegation"
 This is considered a remarkable cam. paign, for in just two months vorys seems to have lined up the Ohio Re publicans for Mir. Taft. When he took charge eight weeks ago he had the powerful machine of Senators Dick and Foraker to fight. The senatorial allI- ance, he says. cannot muster enough strength to send even one anti-Taf delegation to the national convention. Such a shift of sentiment has never before been equaled. Party workers who for years have clung to the two senators have. It Is said, within two months forsaken them for Mir. Taft

Police Force Confession From Pris- oner Held For the Murder of Fif- teen-year-old Girl In Wild
 Flower Patch.

NEW YORK. May 27.- Telling a story of sinister detail and revealing an almost unbelievable depravlty of character, Henry Becker, who has been under arrest on suspicion for three days, confessed he had murdered Anne lia Charlotta Staffeldt, fifteen years old, in a field in the outskirts of Elm hurst, where she was picking dande. I lions.
 In the hope he would escape the cleo. tric chair, despite the fact he had been arrested before on the charge of at tacking girl, he admitted that the story he told on Friday beside the cof- fined body of the murdered girl was a myth and that he had not met ''the other man." whom he had accused of the murder. until within few feet of Mrs. Emily Simonson's home in Train Meadows road. 4 charge of murder was made against Becker in the Flush ing court this morning.
 Talking to Detective Calvin, Becker said:
 "well I do not want to go to the electric chair for telling the truth What will you do to me if I tell just what happenedT'
 "0b.'' said Calvin. you will be sent to hospital for the insane. You won't go to the electric chair"

Will Not Delay Home Rule.

DUBLIN, May 27.-John Redmond holds that the Irish convention's de. cision in rejecting the Irish council bill had three weighty effects. The devolution idea, he says, has gone by the board, the influence of the Rose. beryite group in the cabinet has been killed and the strength and cohesion of the Irish party has been secured. In. terviewed on the future of the home rule movement, Mir. Redmond declared that it was his conviction the conven. tion's action would not delay home rule single hour.

Mfllionaire's Wife Complains of Plot
 to Railroad Her to Madhouse.
 NEW YORK, May 27. = Katherine Clemmons Gould, who has sued her husband, Howard Gould, for separa- tion, told the police that she was in possession of anonymous letters re- celved by her during the month of March that convince her of the exist. ence of a plot to drug her and spirit her away to madhouse, there to be kept for the remainder of her life.
 These letters. several of which Mrs. Gould received during March, are sn the handwriting that Mrs. Gould says closely resembles that of a former maid, whose whereabouts are at pres ent unknown. In one of these letters Mrs. Gould was warned to beware of drugs in her coffee. beverage of which she is very fond.
 The letter went on to say that there was a plot all formed to put some drug Into her coffee, and when she had be- come unconscious she was to be bun dled into cab and driven to private asylum in this vicinity. where she would be kept imprisoned as long as she lived.
 Mrs Gouid's disclosures to the police are of most startling character, and it Is understood from the highest sources that five men now connected with the detective bureau are impi- cated. One of the charges that Mrs. Gould makes Is that her letters were tempered with and that central office detectives hired apartments at the St. Regis, where she was living. In order to keep a closer watch upon her. She also alleges that the detectives rode in her own husbands automobile in fol-
