DECADE GONE SINCE
Mckinley TRAGEDY
Just Ten Years Ago Today the Third OF Nations Martyr
Presidents Was Shot Down BY Assassin
Czolgosz At Buffalo.

Ten years ago today william Nc
Kiniey, twenty-ffth President OF the
United States, was stricken down by
assassin Czolgosz, at the Pan-American
Exposition in Buffalo. Czolgosz fired
two bullets into the President. one of
them entering his arm, the other per-
forating his stomach. THE Martyr
President" as he has since been called,
lived for eight days, expiring on Sep
TENDER IA.
President McKinley's assassination
shocked the whole world, and spread over
the United States a gloom not known
since the tragic taking off Of Abraham
Lincoln. His had been an Administra-

he seemed at peace with all the world,
and all the world with him. He had
been nominated by the Republican
party for e second term in 1900. and
was in year of triumph In 1901. the
first of his second term. His appear
ance at the exposition at Buffalo was
one of the many occasions on which
he appeared to receive the public.
Never had tragedy seemed farther
public reception. Thousands were press
ing forward for the honor of clasping
hands. Czelgosz seemed one of the APP
plaSding spectators. But within band
ages on his hand was a revolver, and
az he drew near to Mckinley he fired
twice. He was seized and overpowered
and disarmed even as the President fell.
Showed Great Vitality.
The best surgeons and physicians of
the country were hurried to the bedside
OF the President. who showed a re-
markable vitality. But after week
of suffering. and at time when hope
seemed reasonable, he passed away.
Within an hour Theodore Roosevelt,

the remainder OF his life. He became
prosecuting attorney Of Stark county in
1869. He was elected to Congress In
1876, where his career was notable. He
was especially prominent in tariff legis-

He then retired from Congress and

consolidate her interests in a private
bank with a chain OF branches IN
ming across the country. In New
York" said Col. Green to-day, "our
Green and Co. Branches will be open

Francisco. We have decided that our
interests best be served from a

the laws OF the various States do not
give us the right to hold real estate
in the name Of one corporation Or trust
company common to all, we have had
to organize X other private bankers
Of this city. whose interests extend
elsewhere"
Richest OF Women Has Been Mis-
understood.
Col. Green pictures iiiS mother as
grossly misrepresented in the past. Al

she has made it an invaFlable rule TO
re-invest her profits in the territory

A FAMOUS POET AND HIS CATS.

Zone night, during my visit to the
Court of Napoleon III. at Compiegne, :"
writes Madame de Linden
crone, in the August Harper's, 81 was
little dismayed when was told that the
famous poet Theophile Gautier was to be
my dinner companion. | was awed at
the idea of such neighbor, and feared l
should not be able to cope with the occa-
sion. Would he talk poetry to me? and
should have to talk poetry to him?
81 tried to remember, during our
promenade down the hall, Longfellow s
Psalm of Life in case he should expect
anything in this line, and tried to recall
something he himself had written.
81 might have spared myself worry,
for from the time he sat down at the
table he talked of little else than cats
and dogs. He loves all animals q liked
him for that and one could see that he
preferred them to any other topic. In
appearance | think he must resemble
Charles Dickens. l have only seen the
latter's photographs, but had he not
rather skinny hair brushed any which
way and stringy beard? l fancied him
SO to myself. At any rate, Gautier looks
like the Dickens of the photographs.
81 can't remember ali the nonsense he
talked. He said he had eight or ten
cats, who ate with him at the table.
Each had its own place and plate, and
never by any chance made mistake and
sat in another cats place or ate off
another cats plate. He was sure that
they had heaven and a hell of their
own, where they went after their death,
according to their deserts, and that they
had souls and consciences. All his cats
had classical names, and he talked to
them as if they were human beings. He
said they understood every word he said.
He also quoted some of his conversation
with them, which must have sounded
very funny:
Cleopatra, have you been in the
kitchen drinking milk on the sly?' Gle
opatra puts her tail between her legs and
her ears back and looks most guilty, and
l know then what the cook told me was
true. Then again: Julius Caesar, you
were out extremely late last night.
What were you doing?' He said that
when he made these reproaches julius
Caesar would get down from his chair,
and with his tail high in the air would
rub himself against his legs as much as
to say he would never do it again.
{" Depend upon it, he added, they
know everything we do, and more. >"
