AODcCldl W
BUFFALO, n. Y, Sept. Six
years, lacking one day, after William
Mckinley was shot by a cowardly an
archistic assassin at the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition grounds in this city,
inflicting wounds which caused the
death of the president on September
l4th, 1901, a great monument typify-
ing the love of the people of Buffalo
was dedicated in Niagara square to-
day. The beautiful white marble shaft
was planned and executed under the
direction of a commission of promi-
nent men at a cost of S150000, fur
nished by this municipality and the
state of New York. Impressive cere-
monies marked the dedication, the
speakers including Governor Hughes,
and others of nationl fame.
The exercises formed the cen
trail feature of Buffalos old
home week and were witnessed by
thousands of people from all over the
country.
The obelisk is of pure white mar
BILE, eighty-six feet in height, with a
base of six feet and tapering gradual
ly to the top. 1t rests upon a great
pedestal, ON two sides of which are
inscribed the record of William Nc
Kinley as a statesman and a soldier
On the north side is the following:
WILLIAM MCKINLEY,
Died in Buffalo, September IA,
1901, the victim of a traeacherous as
sassin, who shot the President as he
was extending to him the hand of
friendship"
Facing east, west, north and south
from the angles of the pedestal are
four, sleeping lions in marble of he
coic size, the work of Phinister Proc
tor, the New York sculptor.
Thanking the sides of the four bases
which support the marble lions are
series of fountains, which are fed
with water from gargoyles located
close to the four corners of the de-
destal of the obelisk Surrounding
the whole is a broad circular prone
made, with mosaic floor and embellish-
ed with balustrades and massive bal
listers connected with heavy chains
The app. oach s are flights of stone
steps, which pierce the parapet at
four points. Beyond the parapet lead
ing to the street level are concrete
walks, between which are graz sy plots
and flower beds. The effect of the
whole, in the opinion of artistic au-
thorities, is the most beautiful Ct any
similar memorial in America.
The monument commission in
charge of the erection of the shaft was
comosed of Edward H. Butler and
George E. Matthews of Buffalo; e. A.
Curtis of Fredonia, and John G. Mil
burn, of New York, in whose Buffalo
house President Mckinley died. Mr..
Milburn was president of the Inflated
Pan-American Exposition company.
The fund for the erection of the
monument was not given directly by
the New York legislature, but was
saved from the state appropriation for
the Pan-American Exposition, through
the economical administration of the
late Daniel Newton Lockwood,
former law partner of Grover Cleve-
land. At the close of the fair the
money he had received by act of the
legislature, instead of being turned
back into the state treasury, was di-

Where Eperies. the picturesque Hun

nothing but thick wilderness. Once
this blind and unhappy sovereign was
travelling in his realm. It was hot,
sultry summer day. and while search
ing for shady spot in which to rest
he became lost. Deadly tired in con-
sequence of his long wandering. he
asked his attendants for a drink of
water. They seated him on the soft,
green grass in the cool shade of big
old trees. and then the cavaliers sep.
arated to hunt for refreshing spring.
Meanwhile the king wanted to find
out more about his resting place and
began to grope about him with his
hands. Thus he discovered strawber-
ries growing all about him. says the
New York Herald. He ate tnem; so,
partly quenching his thirst, he waited
quietly for his gentlemen. After a
short time they returned, some with
empty cups, some with pearly spring
water.
The king then said to his attendants:
"Have the trees cut down around this
place where my hands found the re-
freshing strawberries. Here shall rise
a town whose name shall be Epertes
strawberry In remembrance of this
day for all time"
AS the king commanded so It was.
The wilderness was cleared, and in its
place is a town whose arms carry the
strawberry even today.

Chicago Nov. --Twenty-seven
hours and % minutes were clipped By
Edward Payson Weston from his re-
cord for pedestrianism between Port
land, Maine, and Chicago. established
by himself forty years ago, when hn
today ended his second trip on foot
between the two cities. Weston's ac-
tual time, exclusive OF Sundays. or
the present trip, was "a days, 19 hours
and Is minutes. In 1867 he consumed
% days, % hours and 40 minutes Oh
the same trip. His mileage, according
to a mapped route, was 1,234M miles
but the speedometer OF the automobile
which followed him registered 1915
miles. The difference was due to the
fact that on several occasions Westsa
took wrong roads and thus lost die
tance.
The veteran walker showed fey iii
effects of his long tramp tonight. I'm
mediately after reaching the Illinois
Club, where he was entertain

chief change noted was the loss of IL

the scales at 1870 pounds.
