LIKE A CHILD FALLING ASLEEP
DR.. Rixey Tells Of the Peaceful Death
Of Mrs. Mckinley.

Surgeon General Rixey has returned from
Canton. where he had been summoned by
the illness of Mrs. Mckinley. He gave
the following account of the passing Of
Mrs. Mckinley.
Mrs Mckinley recognized Secretary Cor
telyou and myself on our arrival Friday
morning, although she had been in a semi
comatose condition for twenty-four hours,
attended by Drs. Portman and Eymer, her
local physicians and friends. Her face
frightened and with one of those sweet
smiles for which she was noted. she spoke
a few words of welcome and gratitude that
we had come to her. After this up to the
last she was aroused with difficulty, but
seemed to recognize the voices of Justice
and Mrs. Day Saturday morning.
Eyes, she died as a child going to sleep,
quietly, peacefully, without a struggle and
as she breathed the last few breaths of
this life the expression of her face changed
the lines of pain and sorrow seemed 10
leave it, and she looked as she must have
appeared in her girlhood, before the physi-
cal aff1iction from which she suffered for
thirty years came to her in her early moth
erhood.''

NO WORSE FOR THE RIDE.
The President Resumed Work on Re-
turning From Mount Vernon.

Postmaster General Meyer and Miss Ethel
Roosevelt accompanied the President Mrs.
Roosevelt and Capt. Lee in their ride from
Alexandria to Mount Vernon in yesterday 8
storm. The party had cantered along the
road but four miles when the storm over
took them. They did not have time to find
shelter before all of them got drenched al
most to the skin. Finally they espied an
unoccupied farm house along the roadside,
and sought shelter under the '1ean-to'' at
the rear for half an hour Covering in the
outbuildings also was found for the horses
There was remarkably heavy downpour of
rain and vivid flashes of lightning, accom-
panied by peals of thunder.
Rain was still falling lightly as the party
again took up the trip to Mount Vernon,
which was reached about . o'clock almost
an hour behind the schedule time. Here
Col. Dodge, the superintendent of the
grounds, gave them a cordial welcome,
showed them over the grounds-about 1900
| acres in all-through the mansion and the
various buildings, and pointed out to them
the Fairfax estate in the distance. There
were number of visitors at Mount Yer
non, and the President shook hands with
them Lunch was served in the old house
lonial times, but now occupied as a dining
room. Col. Dodge was one of the party at
lunch
The guests were ready to return to Wash
ington at $3.50 o'clock, but again rain set
in and delayed them for fifteen minutes
Then the sun shone and the party set off
for Washington.
The ride up to Alexandria was slippery
and muddy said one of the party last
night, but there were no mishaps and we
had the bright sunlight with US all the
way up to Washington
At Alexandria a number of people were
| assembled, to whom the President bowed
his Acknowledgements. There the presiden-
tial party boarded the special car for the
remaining seven miles.
President Roosevelt was the first to alight
from the when it reached Washington,
near o'clock. He and Mrs. Roosevelt and
Miss Ethel at once went to the White
House, where the President resumed his
work at the executive offices. He showed
every evidence of having thoroughly en-
joyed his outing.

ROYALTY ASTONISHED
LONDON GOSSIP OVER SUDDEN
DEPARTURE OF RoBINsoNs.

Special Cabegram to The Star.
LONDON, May 2S.-Royalty is astonshed
as royalty permits itself to be, society is
candidly surprised, and says SO, by the
sudden departure of President Roosevelt's
kinspeople, the Douglas Robinsons.
President Roosevelt cabled week ago, it
is said, asking Mr.. Robinson, his brother
in-law, Mrs. Robinson and their daughter,
Miss Corinne, to return to the United States
as soon as possible. That is our interpret
tation of the Robinsons' fitting. They
cought the steamship Corinia at Queens
town Wednesday and are speeding home to
New York. Their unexpected departure
amazed all the hostesses who had planned
entertainments for them. Society would
have outdone itself to entertain President
RooSevelt'S kin. The names OF his sister,
Mrs. Robinson, and his niece, Corinne Rob-
inson, were down for the next court. Both
ladies had received invitations to the court;
all was prepared for their presentation.
Miss Jean Reid offers the explanation that:
THE Robinsons were obliged to return
suddenly. Had there been a court late in
May they would have waited. But it was
impossible for them to remain until June g."
Invited to Marlborough Tea.
Miss Robinson must have been the sor-
rier to go, because she had very good
time here. The Princess of Wales invited
Mrs. Robinson, Miss Robinson, Mrs. White
law Reid and Miss Reid to tea at Marl-
borough House two days after her high
ness met the Presidents kin at dinner at
Dorchester House. Mrs. Robinson and her
daughter met the royal children at MARI
borough House and talked with the Prin-
cess Mary for a long time. The young
princess led the visitors around the gar
dens of Marlborough House and into the
shady path, beneath old elms, which is
lined with graves of Queen Alexandra's
pet dogs slab with an epitaph marking
each mound. Later, the two infant prin-.
cesses were brought from their nursery and
presented to the American visitors.
To Mrs Robinson were given autographed
photographs of the Prince and Princess of
Wales.
There seems to be some idea that the
premature publication of the announce
ments that Ambassad Reid would give a
dinner to the king and queen at Dor
chester House next month has caused the
indefinite postponement of that entertain
ment The ambassador was vastly annoyed
by the announcement which was not au-
tnoritative, for he knows that the king re-
sents any anticipation of his accepting of
an invitation. President Roosevelt has sent
a check for $500 as his contribution to the
American stall at the queens bazaar, to
be held at the Mansion House June 10.

conditions OF the match were discussed.

Pollok wanted McCfntic TO agree TO

Clintic refused 10 listen TO anything Of
the kind.

only way we will fight. We have
chance at a date in San Francisco in the
near future. and can't afford to 90 up
there on a speculation
The matter was left in an unsettled
state, with the understanding that Pol
Iok would find out from Kohl how much
of the purse he would be willing to Of
fer.
In the meantime Britt entered into
NEGOTIATIONS. When he discovered that
Hylsnd was out for match. he asked
for time to talk over the match, and
Pollok has agreed 10 meet him at the
Willis this evening.
Much depends upon what kind OF a
proposition Britt well demand. II is quite
certain that Kohl will offer no more than

Nevada promoters are coming to a real

A little chap waiting for car at the

pool men as likely victim. They got
to talking TO him and wound UP by sus-
costing a drink. Then they suggested a
game OF pool.
The little fellow said he didn't know

games interesting they bet a dollar on
the one ball, better known as the lemon
ball. One OF the lemon men won the
lemon bali but they saw TO II that the
little fellow got the game. The second
third and fourth games were won by the
little fellow. but either one Of the lemon
men was sure to get the ball.
The fifth game played, the little fellow
apparently grew desperate and offered to
bet SIS. To give their new found frien
agreed TO plunge. The little fellow got
the lemon ball and the game. The lemon
men thought IL was an accident, and the
sixth game found them offering TO bet
SIS on the lemon. They were taken up
and 10 their surprise the little fellow got
IL again The seventh, eighth and ninth
games saw the little ball pushed into the
pocket by the little fellow.
The proprietor of the billiard parlor, who
