BUFFALO. Sept. 16.—Buffalo jester-/ day became a city of mounrners. The gay atid fiaraing decorations of the Pan-American exposition gave way to the symbol of sorrow. The black drapery of the city's streets muffled the tollings bells of the churches. Bits of crepe appeared on every sleeve. The sorrow was everywhere apparent. In the morning a simple service took place at the residence on Delaware ave nue where the martyred president died. A hymn was sung and prayer was offered over the dead body. That was all. Only the immediate family and the friends and political associates of the Jate president were present. The scene there was pathetic in the ex treme. Then the body was borne out to tho waiting cortege on the browny shoulders of eight sailors and soldiers of the republic. The cortege passed through the walls of living humanity, grief-stricken, to the city hail. A remarkable demonstration occur red which proved how close the presi dent was to the hearts of the people.

Two lines formed. They ex tended literally for miles. When 5 o’clock came 40,000 people had already passed and the crowds waiting below in the streets seemed undiminished. It was decided to extend the time until midnight. Then for hours longer the streets were dense with people and a constant stream (lowed up the steps of the broad entrance Into the hall and passed the bier.

Mrs. McKinley bore up bravely today during the service at the Milburn house, and Dr. Rlxey, her physician, thinks she will be able to support her trying part in the state funeral at Washington. The day was gray and cheerless. Heavy clouds hung over the city, at times breaking to let through a rift of sunshine and then threatening to let loose a downpour Upon the gath ering multitude. The air was humid and heavy and only a light wind from the south stirred the drooping flags and the emblems of mourning. The very clecents seeineu to lend fit ting accompaniment to the scene of sorrow about to be enacted. Mrs. McKinley, the poor, grief-crush ed widow, had been led into the cham ber by her physician. Dr. Rixev. and had sat a while alone with him who had supported and comforted her through all their years of wedded life. But though her support was gone, she had not broken down. Dry-eyed she gazed upon hint and fondled his face. She did not scent to realize that he was dead. Then she was led away by Dr. Rlxey and took up her position at the head of the stairs, where she could hear the services. At 1:25 tlie body was allowed to lie viewed by the public, and a vast crowd moved along and took their last look at tho dead chieftain. Meet Train at State llorder. COLUMBUS, O..

If so, what steps do you deem necessary to pro cure a practical measure of reform? “What is the effect of divorce on the integrity of the family? “Would a more prohibitory measure, reducing the number of causes of di vorce as defined In the existing stat utes have a tendency to promote the moral purity of society in this state? "While the subject of divorce is gradually assuming a position of greater prominence before the coun try from year to year, yet its im portance even when confined to state limits, might well engage the scholar ship of a Newman or Liddon and awaken the enthusiasm of a Wilber force or Sumner."
