Had a StrmiKo ICxiicrlenou. Luther 12. Thrasher, tho Kansas boy who killed himself in San Francisco, had nn experience- n few years ago ol tho kind you read about and seldom hear of, and which prompted his sui cide. Ho was engaged to bo married, nnd was sent as a reporter to tho morgue one day whore ho found, to Iiis horror, tho girl ho was to marry. She had drowned herself in a fit of temporary iiiRanity. Tho shock affect ed Thrasher's mind, nnd ho becumo morbid and melancholy. Ho was a inewspaper man, liuffalo, N. Y., Sept. 15. President McKinlcy died at 2:15 Saturday morn ing. He had been unconscious since 7:50 . in. His last conscious hour was spent with his wlfo to whom ho devoted a lifetime of cure. Ho died unattended by a minister of tlio gos pel, but his last words wcro an hum ble submission to tho will of God in whom ho believed. Ho wns recon ciled to the cruel fate to which an assassin's bullet had condemned him and faced death in tho same spirit of calmness and poise which has mnrked bin long and honorable ca reer. His relatives and tho members of his official family wcro at tho Mil burn house, except Secretary Wilson, who did not avail himself of the op portunity, and some of his personal and political friends took leave of him. Tills painful ceremony was sim ple. Ills friends came to tho door of tho sick room, took a longing glance at him and turned tearfully away. Ho was practically unconscious during this time. Hut the powerful heart stimulants, including oxygen, were employed to restore him to conscious ness for his final parting with his wife. He asked for her and she sat at his side and held his hand. He co'iisoled her and bad her good-by. She went through tho heart-trying sceno with the samo bravery and for titude vith which she has borne the grief of tho tragedy which ended his life. The president in his last period of consciousness, which ended about 7:40, chanted the words of the hymn, "Nearer, My God, to Thee," and his last audible conscious words as taken down by Dr. Mann at tho bedside were: "Good-by, all; good-by. It is God's way. His will be done." Then his mind began to wander and he com pletely lost consciousness. His life was prolonged for hours by the ad ministration of oxygen and he finally expressed a desire to be allowed to die. About 8:30 the administration of oxygen ceased and the pulse grew fainter and fainter. He was sinking gradually, like a child, Into tho eter nal slumber. By ten o'clock the pulse could no longer bo felt in his extrem ities and they grew cold. At 0:37 Sec retary Cortelyou, who had been much of the time with his dying chief, sent out formal notification that the pres ident was dying. Hut the president lingered on, Ids pulse growing fainter and fainter. There was no need for oflleinl bulletins after this. Those who came from tho house at !ntorvalstold the samo story that the president was dying and that tho end might come at any time. His tremendous vitality was the only remaining fac tor in tho result, and this gavo hope only of brief postponement of the end. An affecting incident of tho morn ing was tho coming of Mrs. Garrett A. Hobart, wife of the former vice president of the United States and her son. Mrs. Hobart was in deepest mourning and after her visit to the house, camo out with her handker chief to her eyes, weeping. The cabinet held a brief meeting at noon Saturday and then adjourned to await, tho arrival of tho now presi dent. They said that the entire pro gramme for tho funeral had been agreed upon. It includes provision for a short service of prayer at the Mil burn residonco Sunday afternoon at five o'clock. On Monday at seven a. m. tho remains will start for Wash ington on a special train In which tho cabinet as well as the family will em bark. Arriving there In the evening tho body will be taken to tho white house, where It will remain over night, and on Tuesday it will be taken formnlly to the capltol where the state funeral will be held. On Wednesday the remains will be escort ed tq Canton and on Thursday inter ment will tako place at President Me Klnley's old home. tlntphlo Description of I.iwt lloum. Buffalo, N. Y Sept. 14.Thc death of President McKinley camo in the small hours of the morning, under cir cumstances of peculiar wlerdness. For hours ho had lain unconscious, with all hope of his survival aban doned. Dr. Janeway, tho eminent heart specialist, who had been sum moned from New York, arrived short ly beforo midnight and proceeded at once to tho bedside of the President. An instant's glanco told him the time h.itl passed for the slightest hope. lie turned away, telling tho as sembled relatives and officials that tho end wns vory near. Midnight came and still the tremendous vitality of tho president was battling undor dis solution. Another hour passed so, and still another. At 2 o'clock Dr. liixey was tho only physician in the death chamber. The others woro In an adjoining room, whllo tho rela tives, cabinet officers and nearest friends woro gathered in silent groups In tho apartments below. As he watched nnd waited, Dr. Illxoy ob served a slight, convulsive tremor. Tho president had entered tho valley of tho shadow of deuth. Word was at once taken to the immediate rel atives who wero not present to has ten for tho last look upon tho pres ident in life. They came in groups, the women weeping and tho men bowed and sobbing in their intense grief. At 2:15 o'clock, silent nnd motion less, tho circle of loving friends stood about tho bedside. Dr. Ilixey leaned forward and placed his ear close to tho breast of the expiring president. Then ho straightened up and made an dead," ho said. The president had passed away peacefully, without tho convulsive strutrL'lo of death. It was as though he had fallen asleep. llrlof ftarvlcuiN hunriiiy Morning, llufl'alo, N. Y., Sept. 10. Buffalo yesterday became a city of mourn ing. The gay and ilamlng decora tions of tho Pan-American exposition gave way to the symbol of sorrow. The black drapery of tho city's streets muflled the tolling bells of the churches. Bits of crape appeared on every sleeve. The sorrow was everywhere apparent. In the morning a simple service took place ut tl residence on Delaware avenue, where tho martyred president died. Only tho immediate family and the friends nnd political associates of the late president were present. Then the body was borno out to the waiting cortege on tho brawny shoulders of eight sailors nnd soldiers of the re public. Tho cortege passed through solid walls of living humanity, bare headed and grief-stricken, to the city hall, where the body lay in state yes terdaj' afternoon. Thero a remark able demonstration occurred which proved how close tho president waa to the hearts of the people. Arrange ments had been made to allow the "iiblic to view the body from the time 4t arrived, at about 1:30 o'clock, until about five o'clock, but the people were wedged into- the streets for blocks. Two lines were formed. They extend ed literally for miles. When five o'clock came 40,000 people had al ready passed and the crowd wnlting below in tho streets seemed undimin ished. It wns decided to extend tho men not yet old, we can scarcely keep out of mind a feeling of stunning amazement that in free America, blessed with a government consecrat ed to popular welfare and content ment, the danger of assassination should ever encompass the faithful discharge of tho highest official duty. UnlTcrsal Monrulm: In 'Kuropo. London, Sept. 15. From the towers of Westminster abbey, from gray buildings where the government of the empire is administered, from the mansion house nnd law courts, from churches, hotels and business and pri vate houses in London, union jacks are effort to speak. "The president isfiontlng at half mast as a mark of sympathy for tno luuruorcii picsiuL-ni,. All tho stock and commercial ex changes are" closed. Telegrams are pouring in from prominent Knglish men, societies and municipalities. It seems ns If every little town in En gland is individually telegraphing an expression of sympathy nnd horror. Affecting scones mnrked tho an nouncement of the death of the pres ident at the Fcumcnical Methodist conference, which passed resolutions declaring that the whole Christian world sympathized with the American people. Throughout the length and breadth of Europe feelings similar to those evinced in the British metropo lis seem to have been evoked. Perhaps this is best voiced by the Vienna Neues Welncr Tageblatt which says, "Tho ocean Is not wide enough to hold all the sympathy that is streaming from ,the old world to the new." A Dnnth Mnnk of McKinlcy. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 1C A death mask of the president's face was made at 7:20 o'clock. The mask was taken by Eduard L. A. Pausch, of Hartford, Coirti. Pausch has mod elled the features of many of tho distinguished men who have died n this country in rcceut years. Tho mask is p faithful reproduction of the latf President McKinley's fea tures. Curried Heavy 1.1 fo Insurance. Cleveland, O., Sept. 10. Well-informed life insurance men of this city say that President McKinley carried from $100,000 to $200,000 on his life. One big New York company is said to have a single policy for $50,000. Mrs. McKinlcy is understood to bo Virtue of a Man Mfc. Tho Supreme Courts have decided that tho' life of tho average man is worth iuat what he in ablo to cam. A man s carninga depend to a great extent upon his physical: health.

The body lnid in the city hall until this morning. It was then tnken to tho station by a military escort and J at 8:30 the funeral train, consisting of seven ears, started for Washington over tho Pennsylvania railroad. Mrs. McKinley, the president, the cabinet and relatives and friends of the dead president nccompanied the remains. Mrs. McKinley boro bravely up dur ing tho service at the Milburn resi lience and Dr. Ittxey, her physician, thinks she will bo nblo to support her trying part in tho state funeral at Washington. When Mm. McKinlcy Wns Tolil. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 15. It is defi nitely learned that it was Mrs. Barber, Mrs. McKinley s sister, who broke the news of her great loss to tho stricken wife. She went from the bedside of the dead president to the wife whose condition wns such that It seemed best to remove her from the sick room beforo the end. Mrs. McKinlcy Is occupying n large south room in the Milburn houso overlook ing Delaware avenue and Ferry streets. Through the drawn shades tho early morning light was break ing when Mrs. Barbor told her that the sleep into which tho president hnd passed would know no awakening. Mrs. McKinley, whose extreme deli cacy was for years the president's greatest sorrow, received tho news with unexpected calmness and at once acquiesced In the request of her phy sician and family to leave the details of the sad ceremonies in which tho entire nation is to join entirely in the hands of the officials and personal friends who nre nsscmbled. All day long she has remained quiet ly In her room, stricken to the soul, but bravely bearing her sad burden, because she knows "the major," as she lovingly enllB the lute president, would bid her to do so. Dr. Illxoy, who for years has guarded her from all excitement and was In constant attendance during her recent illness in San Francisco, is much encournged by tho way bIio is bearing up at present, although it is quite possible tho Btrain of tho next 21 hours may make it desirable for her to return with her sister to Canton to avoid tho serious strain of a state funeral, l'rmn Kx-1'rcnldont Cloiolumt.
