Honors Obsequies of Mrs. Me-

d
 CANTON, O., May 20. = Although President Roosevelt and many Wash ington officials were present at the esob- sequies of Mrs. Mckinley here today, it did not partake of the character of a public funeral. This was as the dead woman wished.
 Banked with flowers on every side whose fragrance filled not only the room in which the body of Mrs. Me Kinley lay. but the entire house and was waited as an incense to the throng of people as they entered the Mckinley residence, the casket was passed by thousands of persons while the body lay as though in state. Can tonians paid their tribute in the best way they, could since by request it had been denied them the privilege of any funeral decorations in the city or any general municipal participation in the ceremony.
 It was estimated that more than 5000 people passed through the Me- Kinley home. Some of them had known MT. and Mrs. Mckinley from childhood. throng of school children paid silent but sorrowful tribute to the woman they loved. The casket rested in the room and in the same place where the body of President Mckinley was placed while in the family home. Hanging on the walls in the room where the body was reposing were photographs of President Mckinley, Senator Hanna and framed documents received by the late president during his illustrious career.
 The funeral services were simple and brief. Dr. Buxton, Mrs. McKinley's pastor and present pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church, and Dr. Holmes, former pastor. officiated. The same music as was used at the funeral of the late president, Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" Lead. Kindly Light" and "Nearer My God to Thee" were rendered by quartet.
 Vice President Fairbanks is visiting at the home of Justice and Mrs. Day. Mrs. Fairbanks on account of illness was unable to come. Governor Har- ris and other state officials came Dy special train.
 Dr. and Mrs. Hermanus L. Baer of New York attended the funeral. Mrs. Baer is the only child of the late Alb ner Mckinley and is best known as Mabel Mckinley. Captain and Mrs. Lafayette McWilliams of Chicago, cousins of the deceased, were also present.
