How John Albort Williams, pastor of tho

not understand why such a monster struck

General John O. Cowln I nm hern tnr ihn

I loved him. Ho was a man of penco and a

than any other man to relievo the condi

calls himself a laborer. Murder, foul and

the cure for conditions that make such
murder possible. Not the freo-Jom - of

press and speech must be suppressed. (Ap

wo must ronllze our duty to, the present.
This nogel of death must be a harbinger of

prophecy of greater possibilities In Amer-

Henry W. Tatcs-n has been said that

was majestic In Its silence. As the cas

President Roosevelt and the cabinet came
slowly after. All were in black and wore
black gloves. The president alono had on
an overcoat. He took his place Immedi
ately behind Lieutenant General Miles, next
tno center aisle In the pew to the eastward.
&o cioso was be to tha coffin ho con d al
most have leaned over and touched It. Sec
retary Cortelyou, Justice E. McKcuna of
tho supremo cgurt, John M. Mllburn and
John N. Scatchard of Buffalo nnd several
others took scats Immediately In tho rear
ot ino cnuinct.

McKlnley led tho way. followed by the
other Immediate relstlves, Senator and
Mrs. Fairbanks, Comptroller and Mrs

of Cleveland and n few other close persoual

that always occupied by President McKIn
ley, was draped in black and rcinalued
vacant.
Ton nmnr n Admitted.
After these had been sealed the door
leading Into the Sunday scboql wus .opened
nnd the seats arranged below with those
on the galleries wero soon filled with rep"
rcsentatlves of vnrlquu organizations nnd
the fellow townsmen of the martyred prcsl
dent. Conspicuous nmoug these were the
survivors of the Twenty-third Ohio, Prcsl
dent McKlnley's old reglmont, who brought
Into tho church the tattered battleflag the
regiment had carried throughout tho civil
war.
It was 2:30 when tho quartet arose and
lifted up their voices with tho touching
words of "Beautiful Islo of Somewhere."
When the sound of tho last lino had died
away Rev. O. n. Mllllgan, pastor of the
Plrst Presbyterian church, In which Prcsl
ocnt .Mciumey nnu Airs. McKinicy wero
married thirty yenra ago, offered a fervent
prayer. Every head in tho church bent In
solemn reverence ns the Invocation went
up. His prayer was as follows:

Ninetieth I'snlin nnd n I'nvnrlte Hymn,
Dr. John A. Hall, pastor of the Trinity
Lutheran church, then read from the bible
tho beautiful ninetieth psalm nnd Rev. K.
P. Herbruck verses 41-58 of tho twenty-illih
chapter of I Corinthians. With groat feel
ing ho rend tho Inspiring words, tell
ing of tho mystery that all would not sleep
but all would bo changed.
Tho quartet then sang Cardinal Nowman's
grand hymn, tho words floating throughout
tbe church:
I.euil, Kindly I.licht.
Lend. Kindly Light, amid tho encircling
gloom,
Lead Thou me on:
Tho night Is dark nnd I nm far from home:
Lead Thou me on.
Keep Thou my feet: I do not nsk to see
Tho distant scene; one step enough for me,
I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Hhouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path, but
now
Lend Thou me on,
I, loved the garish day, and, spltn of fears,
l'rldo ruled my will; remember not past
years.
So long Thy power hns blest me, euro It
still
Will lead me on
O er jnoor und fen, o'er crag and torrent,
Tho night Is none
And with the morn thoso nngcl faces smllo,

Dr. C. E. Manchester then dcllvcrod nn
addrtBs which lasted tweuty-four mlnutos,
on tho life of tbo president and tho lessons
taught by his noblo llfo and death,
lloaiity ot Inruel Slain.
Our president Is dead.
The ullver cord Is loosed. The goldn
bowl Is broken, the pitcher is broken at the
fountain, the wheel broken nt tho cistern.
The mournum go about the streets, Ono
voice Is heard a wull of sorrow from all
the lands, fer, "the beauty of Icrncl Is
sl.iln upon tbe high. plum. How aiu tho

"I nm distressed for thee, my brother.
Very pleasant hast thou beep unto me."
Our president Ih dead,
We 'jn ha-dly believe It. Wei had hoped

His will to spare the life of one so well
beloved nnd so much needed. Thus, alter
nating between hopo mid feiir, tho weary
hours passed on. Then C:ime the tidings of
defeated sciences, of the failure of lovo and

seemed to hear tho faintly muttered word;
"Oowl bye nil. gum! hyo: It'H, Ood'H way.

Ood, to Thee," So, nestling nearer to hU
Ood. he pnsfed out Into iinronclunci;
skirted the dark shores of tho sen, of dentil
for n time and then passed on to bo at rest.
HI great heart had censed to beat. Our
hums nre heavy with sorrow.

ot such dignity of character aud grnco of

The people confided In him. believed In

no man lnto tho luyn of Washington was
ucr so deeply embedded nnd enshrined In
the hearts of tho people, but It is true of
SIcKlnley In n, larger sense. Industrial and
social conditions are such that he wnn,

It Is a glorious thing to be nhlo to sny In
this presence, with our Illustrious dead lin
