Touch (he Heart of the City
lie Honored.
'WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. The body of
William McKlnley speeds toward his last
resting place In Canton, O., after the nation
had officially and with stnl ceremony paid
Its tribute of respect and love to tho "mem
ory of Its stricken chief magistrate.
This was almost the doling net In the
wful tragedy,, which .has .drenebqd tho clvjl-'
lied world In tears. Beneath tho great
while dome of the capltol, 'funeral sorrlooii"
of state were held today over the dead
president. It was eminently fitting that tho
services should be conducted In that beauti
ful rotunda, hallowed by the history of the
last sad rites' of two other martyrs to the
cause of the republic. As befitted the Oc
casion the services were simple. Thoy were"
conducted In accordance with the rites of
the Methodist Episcopal church, of which
Prealdsnt McKlnley was a life long mem
ber. Consisting of only two hymns, a
song, a prayer, an address nnd a benedic
tion, thoy wcro beautiful and solemnly Im
pressive. Xntlona SllnKle Trsri,
Gathered around thn bier wero representa
tives of every phase, of American national
lite. Including the president and tho onlv
surviving ex-presldont, Including tho repre
sentatives at this capital, of almost every
nation on earth. Groat Britain, France,
Germany, Italy and Spain nnd all the re
publics to tho southward of the United
8tates mingled their tcari with those of the
American people.
Despite the fact that no attempt had been
made to decorate I the interior of tho ro
tunda beyond the arrangements mado about
the catafalquo tho passage presented
memorable sight. The somber black of the
civilians was splashed with the bluo and
old of the army and the navy and the
court costumes of the diplomatic corps. As
CATARRH
Catarrh has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with, It is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than a bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease ; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.
does. It cleanses the blood of the poison
and eliminates front the system nil catar
rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases,

tho sweet notes of President McKlnley's
fsvorlto hymn. "Lead, Kindly Light,"
floated through the great rotunda tho as
cmblnge rose to Its feet. Ilnred heads
bowed and eyes streamed with tears. At
the conclusion of the hymn, ns Rev. Dr.
Taylor, presiding elder of the Washington
district, rose to offer prnyer, the hush that
fell upon the proplo was profound. When,
In conclusion, he repeated Ihe Lord's prayer
the great audience Joined him. Tho mur
mur of voices resembled nothing less than
the roll uf far distant surf.
"iimetlni We'll fnilernlnnil."
Scnrccjy hod the word amen been breathed
when the liquid tone of thnt sweetly plead
ing song, "Somo Time We'll Understand,"
went straight to tbo heart of every nudltor.
The solo was sung by Mrs. Thomas C.
Noycs of this city, tho beautiful refrain
was echoed and re-echoed by the double
quartet choir .
The tencrable Dlshop Kdwln G. Andrews
of Ohio, the oldest bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal church, then took his posi
tion at tho head of the bier. A gentle
brcne stirred tho delicate blooms which
lay on tho cofiln nnd the "pence that pass

tho venerable man's countennnco ns ho be.
gan his eulogy of the life nnd works of
William McKlnley. Ills words were slmplo
but his whole heart was In every one of
them. Ills tribute to the Christian forti
tude of the dead president was Impressive.
Upon thn conclusion of tho sermon the
audience, as If by prenrrnngement, Joined
the choir In singing "Nearer. My God, to
Thee." All present seemed Imbued with n
sentiment of hallowed resignation as th
divine blessing was naked by Rev. W. I!.
Chapman, acting pastor of the Metropolitan
Methodist Episcopal church, upon tho liv
ing nnd the dead.
As soon as tho rotundn was cleared of
thoso who Had been Invited to attend the
religious Borvlces the bier was propnred for
tho inspection of tho general public.
Women l"nlnt In Ornnh,
Thn opening of the doors of tho rotunda
caused n rush of the vast throng thnt had
been congregated on tho cast side of the
building since early morning. Tho result
was that many women nnd children were
trampled nnd hndly hurt. The crowd
brushed by the police cordon ntatloned nt
tho foot of the steps ns' If It had been
chaff. A terrible congestion on the cap
Itol steps and at thn entrance door followed.
As soon ns order wns restored twelvo or
fifteen Injured wrro taken Into thn cap
Itol In the room adjoining the .rotunda,
whero tho remains of tho president lay In
calm nnd peaceful repose. It Is estimated
that no fewer than fifty women nnd chil
dren wcro Injured to some extent, but most
of thorn were ablo to go to their homes.
A fow wcro tnken to the emergency hospi
tal. Mm, McKlnley Not There.
Mrs. McKlnley, bereft of husbnnd nnd
prostrated by her overwhelming sorrow,
did not attend the services at tho capltol.
It wns deemed wfsc by thoso now nearest
and dearest to her that she should not un
dergo the ordeal her nttendnn'co would en
tail on her. She remained nt tho Whlto
House, comforted by every attention that
loving thoughttulness could suggest.
Arrangements for the moving of the fu
neral cortego from the Whlto House to tho
capltol had been completed last night. Yes
terday was a perfect nutumn day, but this
morning dawned gray and dronry. Tho sky
was overcast with low (lying clouds. Nn
turo Itself seemed to be In mourning for
the natton'a dead. As the hours passed
dashes of rain foil at Intervals, but despite
this discomfort tens of thousands, of sor
rowing people appeared early upon tho
streets. Moth sides of Pennsylvania avenue
from the Whlto House to the capltol wero
massed with an Impenetrable cordon of
people, wishing In this way to pay final trib
ute of lovo and respect for tho dead.
Sorrow In Silence.
As the funeral cortego, escorted by troops
representing every department of the na
tion's martial service, nnd by representa
tives of religious nnd civic organizations
passed down tbo brond thoroughfare to tho
solemn notes of tho Dead march from Saul,
walled by tho banda, tho sorrowing pcoplo
bared their heads desplto tho rain nnd
many tear-stained faces bespoke their grlefB
more eloquently than words. It wns a silent
throng. With aching hearts all remem
bered that only n few' months ago the dead
president, then In the fullness of life nnd
triumph, had passed along that same thor
oughfare to bo Inaugurated a second time
president.
The llnga that had fluttered greeting to
him In March wore furled nnd crepc-
bedecked In September. The cheers of
spring became tho sobs of autumn. Grief
had Udurped tho place of Joy. As with sol
emn and cadenced tread tho procession'
moved down tho avenuo the people recog
nlzed as one of tho mourners the former
president, Grover Clevelnnd, who had come
to pay his trlbuto to his successor. They
recognized, too, their new president, upon
whom the responsibilities of chief executive
had been thrust so unexpectedly. With
silence they greeted him, and with them
ho mingled his tenre with sorrow for the
dead.

At tho conclusion of tho funeral services
In tho lotunda tho casket lid was removed
In order that tho Immediate friends of tho
dead president might bo afforded the com
fort of n last glance at hla features and
tho people whon he loved nnd who loved
him might pnsa the bier. At 12:30 tho
procession began to pass through the ro
tunda and during tho six hours tho body
wns lying In stnto it Is estimated 53,000
persons viewed it.
Just nt 11 o'clock a frightful calamity
was narrowly averted nt tho east front of
tho capital. For hours tho vast throne
of people had been massed hi front of tho
capltol nwnltlng an opportunity to enter
tho rotundn. When the doors opened ten
of thousands of people rushed frnntlcallv
to the staircase. Pojtco nnd mllltnry guards
wcro swept nsldo and In almost a twinkling
thcro wns a crush at tho foot of the great
staircase. Tho Immense throng swept back
ward and forward like tho surging of a
mighty sea.
Jinny Hurl In Hie Crnali.
Women and children, a few of the Inttcr
babes In arms, were caught In the crdwd
nnd many wero bndly hurt. Strong men
held children nnd even women high above
the heads of the surging crowd to protect
them from bodily Injury. .Desplto tho
efforts of the police nnd mllltnry and cooler
heiids In the throng, probably 100 persons
wero injured. Somo of the more seriously
hurt wero carried Into tho .rotunda, whero
first aid treatment wns given them. A num
ber wcro hurried to hospitals, but tho
majority were either taken to or subse
quently sent unassisted to their homes.
After the crush had been abated, upon tho
staircase and plnzn, in front of It wero
fouud tattered pieces of men's and women's
wearing apparel of all kinds. Crushed hats,
gloves nnd oven shoes, watches, pocket
books, koys and knives were picked up.
Then the body of the dead president was
finally closed forever to the view of Wash
ington people, tho cavalry escort waa again
formed nnd conveyed tho casket to the apo
dal train which Is now carrying the body
to Canton.
The magnificent display of floral tributes
numbering no less than 125 pieces, snd
making the most remarkable floral tribute
ever seen here, were taken to the station
from the capltol In carriages and wagons
and thero placed aboard a special cor.
which had been provided for them. Threu
sections, comprising In all twenty passen
ger coaches, were necessary to accommodata
all thoso who accepted Invitations to make
the Journey to Canton.
I.cnre far Cnntnn.
Tho Inst chapter of the sad ceremonial,
the removal of the remains to the grave at
hla homo at Canton, began nt 8:20 o'clock,
when tho funeral train left here over tho
Pennsylvania.
Th,o great bronze doors of the capltol, In
which tho body had "lain In stnto. had
closed while thcro was still thousands of
pcoplo waiting for a Inst glance nt tho
capltol. The guards nt the capltol who had
held tho crowd In check all day wero given
a hurried glimpse. The casket was closed
by tho undertakers. It was lifted onco
more on tho Hhoulders of tho body bearers
and by them borno to the hearso at the foot
of tho eaHt steps of tbo capltol.
"Steady, men," snld General Randolph,
ns they walked slowly out between the
bronzo doors with their procious burden.
They senrcely needed tho Injunction, for
every step wnn guardedly taken nnd they
consumed four minutes in descending the
broad stairway. The tlmo was marked by
tho doleful discharge of a mlnuto gun sta
tioned ut n convenient point In, tho capl
tol grounds.
From Capital to Htatlnn.
Thirty minutes wns required for tho re
moval of tho body from the capltol to the
trnln. Tho escort on this Journey consisted
of committees from the army and navy and
two squadrons of the Eleventh cavalry. The
route was down Pennsylvania avenuo, which
was lined with troops . It was a noiseless
Journey. "Not a drum was beard nor a
funeral note," nor was there a sound from
tho crowd which lined tho broad street
Notwithstanding tho hour was 1ato the air
chill nnd thnt a light mist was falling, hats
wcro uniformly romoved ub the cortege
passed. At the Pennsylvania railroad sta
tion thcro was a dense throng and the body
was received by largo' delegations of army
and naval officers. There the soldiers and
seamen carried the casket from tho hearse
to the observation car, placed In the second
section of the funeral train,
Tho casket was placed on standards
draped with the national colon. It was
covered with floral emblems. No less than
twenty cars were required for the transpor
tation of the funeral party to Canton,
Tomorrow still another trnln will carry
to Canton a large party of senators' and rep
