The Mckinley M,.s.kun.

The Mckinley mausoleum stands on
an eminence to which mas been given
the name Of Monument Hill. about two
miles due west of the Mckinley home
in the city OF Canton. It is not an
ornate affair, but its simplicity is re-
ieved by sufficient artistic eubelish-
mentt to uake it an object Of beauty, as
well as n Of massive proportions and
breadth OF design.
Four states have contributed a share
Of the material which has been used in
the building OF the monument. The
granite used IN the arproachs % aud the
mausoleum proper nre from the quaries
OF Milford, Mass. Tennessee has fur.
nished the gray marble for the interior
OF the tomb, while the sarcophagi which
now holds the bronzs casket in which
lie the bodies OF. President and Mrs. Nc
kinley are of dark green granite from
Windsor, vi. The base upon which the
sarophasi rests is black granite from
Berlin, Wis.
From the first step Of the approach to
tie monument, to the actual top Of the
structure is l63 feet 6 inches, the
mausoleum itself being % fee, 6 inches
above the summit OF the mound. The
top OF the dome has an acuIus ID feet in
diameter through which comes a softened
light which adds greatly to the beauty
interior.
II mausoleum is IS feet 6 inches in
diameter. 10 the center OF the floor be-
meath the dome stands tine earcophagi
containing the bodies OF the president
and Mrs. Mckinley, and the inches ON
the north side Of the dome are the
caskets containing those Of the two
daughters, Ida and Mary, who died in
infancy.
Huge Doric columns are placed
around the interior in such a manner ms
to appear half buried in the sides of the
building, The floor ia OF mosaic, marble
having been brought from many states
for the purpose,
Halt way down from tie top OF the
10 granite steps that lead up to the
main entrance on the south side OF the
mausoieum stands an heroic bronze
figure Of President Mckinley, repre-
sentinR him in the attitude usually
assumed when speaking-his left hand
holding n roll OF manuscript, and tho
right hand in the trousers pocket. Be-
hind the figure is a bronze chair ell
circled with n wreath, and draped with
the flag OF the United States. The
bronze figure, which is nine feet high,
stands on " pedestal IS feet from the
base to the f'ct Of the figure.
The masu!rum aud grounds bave been
built and arrangeu at d cost OF $500 ,0On
and it is the INCEPTION Of the commission
to raise nm endowment fund Of $3.50, 900
which will preclude with the charging

it is the intention to ask for the indef-
mite detail OF soldiers OF The regular

A Bismark Duel.

A duel In which Bismsrk was once
engaged had a very amusing origin. IT
occurred when he was chief secretary OF
the Prussian Legislation at Frankfort.
He went n.uch into society and one
Christmas attended a big ball. During
the height OF the festivities Bismark's at
tention was directed to IN exceedingly
pompous individual who strutted about
the room. This was "A NJ. de Clancy, "a
noted French duclist. Later on the im-
portnnt individual took part in the dance,
but having omitted to leave his hat at
the proper place had pertorced to hold
it almost at arms length while he danced.
The spectacle tickled Bismark immensely
and as the Frenchman came sailing
maiestically along, Bismark stepped
forward and dropped "a coin into the hat
a duel was IL Of the next days events.
Though it WINS with pistols Bismark es-
capped unhurt, while his advereary was
wounded.

II ID well to keep in mind the actual
facts of the political corruption fund
that was raised at the last moment in
the Roosevelt campaign by Hartman
at the solicitation OF the president and
expended by Cortelyou and Odell.
That republican paper, the New York
Sun, puts it in chronological order thus:

before the election, chairman Odell Of
the New York republican State commit.

% October 9th, Edward II. Harri-
man was called in.
On October 2sth, Mr.. Hartman
iourneyed to Washington and consulted
with President Roosevelt.
On October 10Th, Mr.. Hartman re-
turned to New York City and got into
action.
On October 3lst, eight days be fore
election, known for a generation as
Dough Day in the State, $500. OGO Of
the s260, 900 raised by Mr.. darrimaL was
turned over to Chairman Odell for use
in the State OF New York. There were
sixty county ctairmen to be appeared,

to disappointment on Dough Day.

In the republican %vernacular Of New
